Chapter 4: Two Great Deserts

Hunshandak Desert, Korqin Desert, should now be called a wasteland, the original sand has become a three-ring wall-like building, and soldiers are busy in the barracks in the four directions of southeast, east and west. There is a three-story building in the middle of the two deserts, surrounded by rows of transparent greenhouses, in which people are busy.

The helicopter landed in the open field, and two professors from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences hurried out to greet the chairman and the prime minister, and after a brief greeting, we walked into the building. This is the base of the desert transformation project, because between the two deserts is a grassland, and the water network is criss-crossed, which is very suitable for the cultivation and reproduction of seeds.

We walked into a random greenhouse, where the grass and vines grew very fast, and we found a random grass and tried to pull it up, but with a lot of effort, we only broke the stems and leaves on the ground. The professor next to us told us that the roots of the grass are now 2 meters deep, the leaves are 20 centimeters high, and after a vine seed grows, it can occupy 20 square meters.

In another greenhouse, the staff is using tools to cut off the vine branches one by one, put them into boxes, take them out and load them into trucks, and then go to the construction area after the trucks are full. In the greenhouse, a special tool is used to dig out the grass, pat off the soil, and expose a meter long roots, each of which has many nodules, which is the secret of grass, and each nodule can divide and multiply.

The professor pointed to each grass pit and said, "The remaining roots in these pits will remultiply after two months, sticking out of the ground and becoming a second-generation grass seed, which can be reused many times." Now the planting is carried out according to the formulated plan, and the four directions are advancing at the same time, and the planting task is expected to be completed before the arrival of summer. ”

"So are these seeds enough?" The Prime Minister asked.

"We've calculated, and it's just enough."

"Let's go and have a look."

Ten minutes later, we came to one of the planting areas, the yellow sand in the desert was gone, revealing the black soil, and the groundwater was abundant, which was suitable for planting. The planting method is promoted in the form of a field grid, and it has advanced nearly ten kilometers in just a few days, all relying on the help of the soldiers of the military region.

In fact, what they don't know is that after my construction robot completed the ground sand removal work, he had already entered the underground construction and built a dungeon with a depth of thousands of meters. In my plan, these two desert cities will develop pure agriculture, along with tourism and real estate.

The professors of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences used the water of life I gave them to improve the genes of many desert plants, making them more suitable for growing in the desert environment, especially some medicinal plants suitable for development, edible health care ingredients, and one of the products reminds me of a commonly used ingredient in Cantonese cuisine: fat cabbage.

Hair cabbage is not a vegetable, but a kind of fungus, also known as Candida hairiformis, China's Inner Mongolia Plateau and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of Qinghai, Ningxia, Gansu is the main production area, growing in the desert and barren soil, it has strong adaptability, high temperature and drought resistance, cold resistance, is a species with strong vitality, and has special medicinal value, is a first-class protected species in China. In the first ten years, hair cabbage as a high-end dish is widely spread among the people, and the acquisition of hair cabbage is at the cost of destroying the ecological environment of the grassland, ten acres of grassland can only pick one or two hair cabbage or less, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia grassland desertification, robber mining of hair cabbage resources is one of the important reasons, there are hundreds of millions of acres of grassland into deserts and deserts, hair cabbage is one of the culprits.

The hair cabbage cultivated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has a complementary effect on my two plants, and the growth of the two is more utilized, and the yield per mu is more than one catty, although it is still in the theoretical experiment stage, maybe it will give me a satisfactory answer here in two years. At my suggestion, with the approval of the Chairman and the Prime Minister, a branch of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences will be built here as a plant cultivation base for China's desert transformation, which will be listed as a second-class secret base.

It was already evening when the three of us returned to Beijing, and the chairman and the prime minister, seeing that my plants were so strong, decided to convene a meeting on the management of the banks of the Yellow River and the Bohai Sea within this month. After a brief dinner, the chairman opened the world map and stared at the map with the prime minister for a long time without saying a word.

"Mowgli, oil will be a big problem in the future!" The chairman sighed.

"We don't have a problem, others will have a big problem." I said with a smile.

"What do you mean by that?" The Prime Minister asked.

"The countries of the Middle East have at most 30 years to explore oil, and they will focus on the South China Sea and South America, and the development of a navy is imminent, although our country can get rid of its dependence on oil in five years, but in order to prevent accidents, the military force will be strengthened. The Gulf of Aden is a good training ground, and these countries are very urgent about our desalination technology, and we should make good use of it. I said.

"Come, the three of us are summing up and coming up with the best plan, and we will bring it to the Standing Committee for discussion tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

And just like that, Yemen and Somalia came into my eyes・・・・・・
