The roaring helicopter finally landed on the tarmac of the Desert Research Center, and Zhang Shusheng and He Ning stepped out of the helicopter.

"Be careful, it's really hot here, hotter than at the airport!"

He Ning, who was wearing a sun hat, said in surprise.

"Don't blame me for letting you put on sunscreen, this place isn't just hot, don't let you come, you have to come and see the strangeness, hehe."

Although He Ning's physique is also different from ordinary people, he still feels the power of the heat wave in this great desert. When transferring to a helicopter at a military airport, Zhang Shusheng deliberately asked her to wear a special sunscreen, which was particularly effective, but she could only rely on her tropical shorts to fight the heat wave.

Zhang Shusheng stretched out his hand to help her and got off the helicopter.

"Salute!"

"Welcome Chairman and Mrs.

Outside the tarmac, the personnel of the institute and the garrison company, who had been waiting there for a long time, shouted in unison.

Zhang Shusheng was wearing casual clothes, this level of heat wave was a dispensable thing for him, he didn't have to pay attention to it at all, it was about eleven o'clock in the morning, and it was not the afternoon when the sun was the most exposed, and the heat wave in the air had already begun to hit people.

"Everyone's worked hard, let's go, go into the house and talk."

After looking around the entire base, it was similar to what you saw in the photo, and the structure was very simple. Zhang Shusheng and He Ning looked at the scientific research base in the desert as they walked.

The entire base is five stories high just by the wall, and there is a sand wall around the base, otherwise, even if the base is only on the periphery of the Taklamakan Desert in the strict sense, there is still a danger of being swallowed up by quicksand.

In addition to the desert test fields with all kinds of strange crops growing on them, there are also some glass greenhouses, and several three-story buildings.

Perhaps seeing the chairman's wife looking at those buildings, Liang Huaran made an introduction, "Chairman, madam, you should have seen it on the helicopter just now, the entire research center is divided into periphery and base, the outermost is the sand control wall and some tertiary test fields, in addition to the desert test field, there are several small buildings in the base, and we have dug a lot of space underground, which is mainly used for living and scientific research. ”

"No wonder, it's so hot here." He Ningying said with a smile. These scientific research personnel want to conduct scientific research in a place where the ground temperature can be 60 or 70 degrees Celsius at its highest, and it is really fatal not to build an underground base.

"Yes, ma'am, when the temperature is too high, we usually hide in the underground base and continue to work, so as not to delay the progress. Today's time is a little late, and it's going to be a hot time soon, so let's go back underground first. ”

The group soon came to the underground, the underground space is larger than the ground, and it is thanks to the efforts of the troops that year that this base was built under very difficult conditions, so that today's desert research center has been established. The underground base is mainly a living area, a leisure and entertainment area, a scientific research area, and a security area.

Zhang Shusheng decided to build this research center at that time, thinking that the problem of desert research was long-term, so he ordered the construction of a high standard.

The problem of desertification in China and even the whole earth has always been troubled in his mind, and in his great plan, the future of Great China will not only not control the population but also encourage fertility with the greatest efforts, so that at least before space exploration can be carried out, there are many problems in the living space of human beings.

However, if a series of harsh land problems such as deserts, deserts, wastelands, and the Gobi can be initially solved in advance, then human beings will be able to have more living space during the earth period.

This problem is certainly not solvable by another person, but he is different.

The dream machine from an unknown civilization in the universe has a lot of cases of planetary transformation, and more information records about countless planets in the universe. There are countless environmental solutions to the harsh geological conditions in the Dream Machine, and the plant species recorded in it that can be used in the barren geological conditions of a simple desert such as the earth are as vast as the stars.

But after all, it is to be used in the transformation of the earth, and tens of millions of kilometers of deserts around the world account for about one-fifth of the earth's area, and other wastelands and harsh areas abound. When it comes to the earth, more than two-thirds is water, and apart from the harsh areas such as deserts and wastelands, there is very little real space for human habitation.

In the final analysis, the earth is not a green planet covered with vegetation at all, and in the database, Zhang Shusheng saw that some planets have ten times worse conditions than the earth, but in the end, they can achieve a large area of vegetation coverage.

The earth today is far less harsh than it was decades later, and it is the best time to transform before the great development of science and technology.

To establish the research institute, Zhang Shusheng is to carry out the localization transformation of the earth with those exchanged seeds, and then sow them. These things are easy to say, and even about a series of problems such as species conflicts, genes, etc., the dream machine can give a complete technical problem solving information, and even before the exchange, these seeds can be in the form of 'special customization', which basically meets the conditions of the earth. But to be 100% practical and practical, it still requires the work of scientists.

After drinking tea in the underground base for a while and taking a brief rest, it was still early for lunch, Zhang Shusheng took He Ning and the scientific researchers to visit the underground base, first briefly looked at the rest of the base, and finally came to the experimental area.

After changing into sterile suits, the group entered the plant greenhouse in the underground experimental area with artificial lights on.

"Hey, the dune fruit is almost ripe."

Zhang Shusheng saw the sand dune fruits at the entrance of the plant greenhouse at a glance. According to the data, this dune fruit is popular in two large galaxies, and in the universe where humans are the main intelligent creatures, the dune fruit can not only provide high nutrition, but also be used as a primary ingredient of high-tech biological agents.

According to Zhang Bing, the little kid of the dream machine, this dune fruit is still one of the main cash crops in that poor star field that lacks minerals.

To put it simply, this is a kind of raw material grown by a low-level civilization and sold to an intermediate civilization, which can be eaten, deeply processed, and even used as a raw material to engage in interstellar foreign trade.

But interstellar and inter-civilization cruelty also abounds, often filling a spaceship with dune fruits can only be exchanged for one-tenth of the value of the industrialized products of a higher-level technological civilization.

However, once it is planted or promoted on a large scale in the future, Zhang Shusheng, who has mastered the deep processing technology, will not let those stupid-forced interstellar traffickers cheat, and can completely grow and extract and process it by himself, and the value will increase by hundreds of times.

Today, however, for at least the last decade, dune fruit is only a slightly more advanced desert cash crop than walnuts.

"This dune fruit is very similar to an enlarged walnut fruit, but this layer of skin is cracked, will the fruit be bad?" He Ning stood in front of Dune Guo, listening to Liang Huaran's introduction, and couldn't help but be curious.

"Madam, the peel of this dune fruit is very unique, it will instinctively adapt to the ambient temperature, if the temperature is too low or too high, it will tightly wrap the real fruit in the middle, and the layers are very tight, with a strong thermal insulation effect." Liang Huaran pointed to the large cabinet containing the dune fruit and said, "Under this cabinet is dug deeper than five meters into the ground, all of which are its roots, and when it grows in the desert, it can dig its roots deep into the ground more than ten meters or even deeper to absorb water, which is enough to cope with the dryness and lack of water on the surface in the desert." ”

"I really didn't expect that plants could evolve to such a height in order to adapt to survival." He Ning said with a smile, in fact, Zhang Shusheng told her before he came that these plants came from other cosmic civilizations, but He Ning and Lu Yunyan didn't take it seriously, the existence of cosmic civilizations Zhang Shusheng had already confessed, and the two women only occasionally asked some things about the starry sky, and they didn't ask much else. When she actually saw these plants, she was curious.

In their opinion, if their husband can get some high-tech and develop civilization, he is a pioneer of civilization.

What's more, there is no question of whether these things are kept secret or not, even if Zhang Shusheng tells the world that his technology comes from other cosmic civilizations, or tells them that he has discovered a treasure trove of civilization buried somewhere, what can others do to him?

There is no other way than envy, jealousy and hatred, unless Zhang Shusheng tells them that he is from the twenty-first century, even if the theory of time and space has appeared today, it will cause an uproar, and obviously, Zhang Shusheng will not say it to anyone, even if it is the closest person, this secret is also irrelevant, but not to say it is the biggest secret.

"Yes, ma'am, our research over the years has found that not only these seeds, but also according to the scientific and technological information provided by the committee, there are many plants around us that have the potential to be transformed and cultivated, and the cactus is one of them. We used cacti along with a certain plant provided by the committee to breed this cactus tree that is more suitable for harsh conditions. ”

Liang Huaran walked a few steps quickly, pointed to a few cactus trees more than one person tall in the experimental cabinet and said, "In the planning, this cactus tree is to provide drinking water for animals, it has a super water storage capacity in the plant, and the huge root system can go deep into the ground dozens of meters deep, compared to cacti, their size is larger, easier to reproduce, and the acupuncture has all evolved into the leaf palm shape of the cactus, and the animals can get enough water by eating this leaf palm." The cactus tree only loses a part of its leaves, like the cactus, and the rest of the parts are not damaged. ”

"This is the path of natural evolution, no matter how bad the conditions are, there will be an iron law of survival of the fittest." Zhang Shusheng walked to an experimental cabinet in front of him, pointed to a moss-like plant inside and said, "This kind of sand moss root system is comparable to that of immortal trees, but they can be spread on the sand to fix sand and water, and this rock moss next to it is equally powerful, with them, and with several other plants, our first batch of desert transformation plans can be successfully completed." ”

"Be careful, in that case, the sand and water in the desert can be stored up, and it will provide the conditions for other plants to grow, right?" He Ning asked.

"Yes, these two types of moss, which we call sand moss and rock moss, once they die, will rot in the sand and provide conditions for other plants to grow." Zhang Shusheng said with emotion that he was not an expert in plants, but with his IQ, he could at least be called a non-research plant expert after a while.

Then, everyone visited some other taller plants, a noon visit basically underground, surface, above-ground multiple spatial levels of ecological species visited, a total of more than a dozen species, once these plants all settled in the desert, it only takes a short period of ten years to see the initial results.

The lunch was full of base characteristics, fried rhizomes of a new plant, soup made of sand dune fruits, barbecue meat of Xinjiang Province, pilaf, etc., which made Zhang Shusheng and He Ning both very happy.

The sun was too big in the afternoon and the temperature was too high, so Zhang Shusheng didn't take He Ning out to visit the test field, as well as the third-level test field on the periphery, which has always included several plants such as sand dune trees and immortal trees, and listened to Liang Huaran say that it has basically become a forest at present, which Zhang Shusheng saw on the helicopter when he came, and in the entire vast sandbar, there is an extra grove surrounded by a sea of sand next to a base, how shocking it is.

Early the next morning, not long after dawn, the temperature was still very low, Zhang Shusheng, He Ning and others got up.

First, there was an appetizer breakfast and some watermelon from the refrigerator around the fire. This is specially for the base, and everyone is usually reluctant to eat.

Then, the thickly dressed crowd began to go to the experimental field to see the real large-scale flora.

During the whole process, He Ning was like a curious baby, asking and asking, Zhang Shusheng also happily explained in person, and finally everyone came to the third-level test forest outside. Compared with the first-level laboratory/greenhouse, the second-level test field in the base, the third-level test field is the real desert geological and climatic conditions.

Looking at the forest surrounded by wind and sand in front of him, although the geological and climatic conditions are very harsh, it stubbornly grew into a small forest in front of him, Zhang Shusheng and his party were inexplicable, and they saw the great hope of transforming the earth in the future.

Zhang Shusheng said to Liang Huaran earnestly: "Huaran, although we are still fighting now, but our vision can not be too narrow, the research of desert artificial forests must not only do a good job but also increase investment, now we are standing here, what we see may be a desert, is a small piece of forest that may be swallowed by sand dunes at any time, but, ten years later, twenty years later, when our afforestation plan continues to expand from the outside to the inside, the Taklamakan Desert and even more deserts, deserts, and Gobi will become jungles."

The place where we are standing now may be a home for people to live and work in peace and contentment in decades, you are not a soldier, but you are doing the same as them, for the future of this nation.

One day, we will let Saiwai Jiangnan really appear in front of the world, and at that time, we will shock the world. ”
