Chapter 102: Adaptation to the Soil and Water
Remember [39 .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Mo Xiaobao chewed on the jerky, curious about this kind of thing that is not often eaten, especially the taste is not bad. At least, it tasted better than anything he'd ever eaten.
Sang Yuan's jerky was originally eaten as a snack, and it was different from the jerky used as dry food, of course, the taste was very important. Seeing that he was eating happily, I didn't ask him what happened just now.
In his own experience, it was either because he cared about him, or because he remembered something unhappy.
Enough to see the scenery on the city wall, Sang Yuan did not continue to stay, although Xi'an at that time was not very big, but as the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, the scope of the capital is still very large.
Although they can stay for a few days, they can't visit every place.
When it was time to set off, seeing the sudden extra children in the team made a group of old men curious. However, no matter how curious they were, everyone didn't dare to do anything.
Out of Xi'an, the convoy entered the Hexi Corridor, and saw the rolling mountains on both sides from a distance. In front of the convoy, there is a narrow plain that is surrounded.
None of the people knew what those mountains were called, although Sang Yuan and Xi Shao had done their homework, they couldn't tell the difference when they were there.
However, the geological experts who came with it opened the map and compared them one by one, and quickly explained it to everyone.
Once inside, the convoy slowed down. After all, everyone is coming to the plateau for the first time, and I don't know if there will be altitude sickness. And there is also a small child, so they have to be cautious.
Perhaps, because they are all men, they are usually engaged in manual work, and after entering the plateau area, no one feels unwell. As for Mo Xiaobao's child, looking at the fields on the plains and the mountains in the distance, he was very excited from beginning to end, and there was no discomfort at all!
The green mountains and green waters, compared to the bricks and tiles in the city, the scene and atmosphere are simply very different. And the air is fresh, the sky is endless blue, very refreshing!
However, no matter how happy Mo Xiaobao was, he didn't shout for joy, he just sat there honestly, looking around curiously, as if he couldn't see enough.
Sang Yuan and others are common in the village, but compared to the scenery in the village, these lofty mountains and mountains are much more magnificent. Especially the long and narrow plains, which are much larger than the part of the village!
They stopped and stopped all the way, and when they arrived at Jiayuguan, Sang Yuan suddenly found that they seemed to be going the wrong way.
"There is also a vast Gobi outside Jiayu Pass, and it is easy to find poplar forests, which should be able to meet the research needs." The geologists analyzed the map and felt that aside from building roads or anything, their destination was actually not a special place.
However, they didn't know that Sang Yuan wanted to go to the Tarim Basin!
There is the sixth largest Kumtag Desert, as well as cultural sites such as the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang, and more importantly, the Kunlun Snow Mountain!
It's just that the distance from Jiayuguan to that side is much farther than when they go to Jiayuguan!
"From Jiayuguan to Dunhuang, isn't it the frontier of the Tarim Basin? Gobi, desert, what is not? Just when Sang Yuan felt that he was taking the wrong path, Xi Shao pointed to the map and did not want to go to northern Xinjiang at all.
In his previous life, there were planes, trains, and map navigation when he went out, but now when he looks at the map again, Sang Yuan is a little confused.
Hearing his words, and looking at that not a small distance, I couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.
If you drive like this, you don't know if you will run out of gas on the road!
"It's a long way to the Tarim Basin, and we need a guide, otherwise we can easily take a fork." Along the way, those geologists were very excited.
Where do they usually have the opportunity to come to such a place in the Gobi Desert?
I want to carry out a geological survey immediately, but I can't make my own decisions.
"Let's go to Dunhuang first! There are Longmen Grottoes of the Holy Land of Buddhism, and it would be a pity not to see it! In the end, Sang Yuan made a decision.
Before leaving, he had everyone put on a mask, and as for why, he didn't say why. However, after the departure, everyone understood why.
The wind and sand raised on the vast Gobi, when it blows casually, it is a mouthful of sand!
The green army card is okay, but the sand car improved by Xi Ruya is completely uncovered, making it difficult for the people in the car to drive.
"Why is this happening?" The Hexi Corridor is an endless plain, with mountains, rivers and scenery, but outside this Jiayu Pass, it is barren and unlikely. Mo Xiaobao insisted until now and had to ask.
"Our goal is to make places like this green, but it will take many years, maybe not many years." The erosion of the desert had not been well solved in the previous life, and Sang Yuan did not dare to say that they could study an effective method.
All life is inseparable from water, and the desert is without water!
Trying to grow something alive where there is no water is nothing more than whimsical.
Mo Xiaobao blinked, unable to understand what he was asking.
Seeing this, Sang Yuan couldn't help but laugh. "Because there's no water!"
"And if there's a lot of water, wouldn't it make this place beautiful?" Children are hydrophilic and are very fond of things with color. The only color in this vast Gobi is yellow, and Mo Xiaobao naturally doesn't like it very much.
It's just that if he doesn't like it, he doesn't know if he will be sent back, so he tries to stay calm.
"If we can bring the sea, I guess it will be fine." Sang Yuan thought about it and made a joke.
The matter of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project was a big project in his previous life!
"How are you going to move the sea?" Mo Xiaobao is no stranger to the sea, but looking at the Gobi in front of him, he can't think of the appearance of moving the sea.
"Of course I can't move it!" Xi Shao saw that Sang Yuan was joking, so he couldn't help but interject. "The sea is so far away, let's not talk about whether it is possible to move over, even if it is moved, what can be planted with the salt content of the seawater?"
"Well, how can we save this place?" The sea water is salty, and this Mo Xiaobao also knows it.
"Planting trees! The root system of trees is well developed, and as long as they live, they can grow slowly! Xi Shao explained to him with a treasure, but he got a roll of his eyes.
Who doesn't know about afforestation? But doesn't it mean that there is no water?
"Okay, don't make a fuss, you'll know when you get to your destination!" Sang Yuan separated him and pressed him into position one by one.
When I arrived in Dunhuang, there were still very few green scenes, and everyone did not wander around, so they went to the Longmen Grottoes. Looking at those ghostly caves and Buddha statues, everyone was eye-opening.
A group of people dispersed in an instant, going to a place of interest to themselves.
Mo Xiaobao still followed Sang Yuan and a few others, and along the way, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden. I didn't want to talk very much, but I became fond of asking questions.
However, I don't know if it's too relaxed, or if it's not adaptable, and after a while, people are a little staggered.
At first, Sang Yuan and the others thought he was tired, and when he rested, he gave him dried meat and water, but he didn't want to eat and drink, which attracted Sang Yuan's attention.
After some examination, it turned out to be a fever!
This made a few people a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly found someone to ask where the hospital was, and hurriedly sent him over.
After the doctor's examination, he said that it was because of the fever caused by the water and soil adaptation, which made Sang Yuan a little relieved. When Mo Xiaobao woke up, he took him back.
This time, they went to open a hotel room, and they were going to let him take care of it.
Leaving Mo Wen and Zhan Feng to watch him, Sang Yuan pulled Xi Shao to buy ingredients and prepared to cook him something to eat in person.
When it comes to conditioning his body, Sang Yuan thinks he is still a good hand.
As a result, when Mo Xiaobao sobered up, the room full of people showed a relaxed smile, as well as the porridge and soup that Sang Yuan had boiled himself.
The first time he was fed, Mo Xiaobao's little face had that complicated look again.
Xi Shao ate a table of good dishes, and teased Mo Xiaobao from time to time, making Sang Yuan keep glaring at them.
Mo Wen finished eating first, walked to Sang Yuan's side, and motioned for him to come and feed Mo Xiaobao.
Sang Yuan looked at Mo Xiaobao, handed him the bowl, and went to eat by himself.
Mo Xiaobao didn't mind, he ate as soon as he opened his mouth, but his expression eased.
Sang Yuan quietly noticed it and shook his head with a smile.
Mo Wen seems to be very indifferent to him, but he actually cares about him!
After eating, Mo Wen and Zhan Feng stayed in Mo Xiaobao's room to rest, while Sang Yuan and Xi Shao reopened a room. In the meantime, Zhan Feng went out to contact the others, telling them to delay a little time, and then returned.
At night, Zhan Feng and Mo Wen took turns keeping vigil to prevent Mo Xiaobao from burning again.
Mo Wen guarded the first half of the night, and Zhan Feng slept first.
Mo Xiaobao looked at Mo Wen who was guarding him and asked him if he could tell him a story, but Mo Wen was stunned.
Where has Mo Wen experienced such a thing as a bedtime story?
When Mo Xiaobao looked at him, he knew that he had forced it, and his little face was a little disappointed. Although it was a whim, he just wanted to feel the feeling of someone telling a story before bed.
Mo Wen looked at his loss embarrassedly, and then spoke: "Once upon a time, there was a child, he was the heart and soul of his parents, and he was ...... when he was young."
Mo Wen told him the stories he had grown up with as stories, and when he recalled them carefully, he found that his stories were actually nothing special.
"How can that kid tell someone else's secret?" Mo Xiaobao interrupted him with a question for a while, making his face a little feverish.
A child can hear that he is doing something wrong, how can he not know it?
He is not the kind of scoundrel who can accept the kindness of others to him with peace of mind. Can he feel good about things that violate his conscience?
"That's the story anyway, don't take it too seriously!" He couldn't refute it, and in the end he could only play tricks.
Mo Xiaobao pursed his lips and looked at him with disgust: "You're talking about yourself, right?" However, with parents like that, you are much better than me. ”
"Why don't you want to go home, you're so old? Your parents aren't worried? Mo Wen saw that he intended to talk about himself, so he couldn't help but ask.
