At one o'clock in the morning, Lin Feng called everyone out of the warm tent, and then sat on the big spider together and rushed towards the center of the desert.

The Taklamakan Desert is 1,000 kilometers long from east to west, so they have 500 kilometers to catch. Lin Feng left Jia Xiaoliang and the others at the station, believing that no one dared to enter easily to hurt him.

The big spiders seemed to be moving slowly, but they were traveling at more than 120 kilometers per hour, so they arrived at the designated place just after dawn.

As far as the eye can see, there are huge sand dunes all around, two or three hundred meters high. These dunes are not static, a gust of wind can whip up a dust storm thousands of kilometers high, and completely change the surrounding terrain in a few hours.

It is known as the Sea of Death, and almost no one can get out of such a desert alive on their legs, and even those who strayed into the depths could not even find their bodies. I don't know how many years I had to wait before a pile of white bones was turned out of the ground by the wind.

Lin Feng put down the shield machine and then found the end point of the underground water canal, this time digging vertically downwards at a depth of about 1,300 meters.

Soon a 3-meter-diameter well was opened, and he set up the TBM to open more trenches in different directions. The entire desert will form a network of underground water canals underneath, which will take half a month.

After letting the shield machine work on its own, Lin Feng asked the big spider to pull himself up from the ground more than a thousand meters deep.

What these people from Linjia Village have to do now is to raise the vertical pumping well, at least 280 meters above the ground, so as to ensure that the wellhead will not be flooded by yellow sand soon.

Pumps are then installed in the pumping wells to pump water from the Bohai Sea to the surface.

It's hard work, and with the help of big spiders, the cold wind from above alone is a bit overwhelming.

There will be more than 8,000 such wells in this desert, with an average of one every 6 kilometers. It is only with this dense water spray system that the desert can be moistened and then provided with sufficient water for the plants to be planted.

According to this density, in fact, one underground waterway is far from enough, Lin Feng plans to dig nine more such underground waterways, but that will have to wait a little longer.

The first phase will have 1,000 wells under construction, which will cover the entire northwest corner of the desert.

The part of the pumping well that protrudes from the ground is made of supramolecular polymeric materials, which ensures sufficient strength to be blown down even by a strong wind of force 18.

The water pump inside was purchased by Lin Feng from the Universe Mall, and it was able to pump water to a height of two thousand meters, and the flow was very large.

He calculated that it would take three hours to install one pumping well, and only four could be installed in a day.

It seems that a large number of big spiders are still needed, Lin Feng bought 19 more in the mall, so that as long as there are enough manpower, 80 and 1,000 pumping wells can be installed every day, and they will be completed in ten days.

After installing the first sample, Lin Feng asked everyone to close the team, and on the way back, the processing equipment of supramolecular polymeric materials did not stop for a moment, constantly processing pipes of various diameters.

This kind of machine consumes too much power, and there is no large enough power supply device here, so it can only be consumed hard by super batteries, so Lin Fengguang spent 20 billion yuan to buy batteries.

However, the results are gratifying, the installation of a pumping well was successfully completed on the first day, and more than 30 people from Linjia Village have gained a lot of experience. Next, they will lead the team to drive 20 large spiders and start working according to the designated position.

When Han Minghao arrived with a large team of 1,000 people, Lin Feng had already prepared enough tents for them, and these people were divided into 20 groups, each of whom rode on the big spider and began to work in the crazy desert.

"Can you open the sluice gate and release the water?"

"Let's let it go," Lin Feng said, "Anyway, it will take twenty days to flow over, right?"

"I guess it's more than that. ”

"It's more than that, it's more than that, you have to let the water flow for a while. ”

It was destined to be a sleepless night, and more than a thousand people who came with Han Minghao suddenly arrived in such a cold environment, and many people were not used to it.

Some of them were called out of their tents before they could fall asleep, and then boarded the spiders and headed to their intended locations.

Lin Feng did not follow today, but arranged for someone to build a temporary dormitory near the station. The tent was so uncomfortable to sleep in that even he felt unsure, let alone these workers who had never been to the desert before.

As a result, by the end of the evening, more than half of the more than 1,000 people had quit.

"I really can't do this job, no matter how much money I give, I can't do it!"

"It's just that I'm going to die at the end of the day, and I'm worried that I'll go back in the urn for a few more days. ”

"It's not human work, send us back!"

The mood of the workers was very high, and many of them did not even want to eat dinner.

When Lin Feng and Han Minghao saw this situation, they were also a little angry and funny.

The conditions are difficult, but that's not a reason.

What is this hard work compared to mining coal in a dark mine? It's just that some people have never endured hardship, so naturally they can't do it.

Lin Feng felt that his expectations for them were too high, and he was used to seeing the construction speed and hard-working of the engineering troops, and he really felt that it was difficult to describe these people.

Finally, he waved his hand: "Settle the salary, let them go back." ”

Han Minghao was also a little angry, when he called these people and horses, they spoke better than they sang one by one, and he couldn't stand it after only one day.

And not only the workers, but also a dozen engineers found him.

"What, you have to leave too?" Han Minghao asked unhappily, "I didn't let you do the work yourself, just commanded in the cab, can't you stand it?"

"It's not that we can't stand it, it's that we think that your project is impossible. ”

"Yes, this desert is not so easy to transform, just blow a wind and sand, no matter how many trees you plant, you have to bury them, it's a waste of effort!"

"Xiao Han, we have also been friends for many years, I advise you, while the investment is not big now, withdraw quickly. ”

Han Minghao had a cold face, what does it mean that there is not much investment, so far, hundreds of billions have been invested!

He knew that it was useless to talk to these people too much, so he just let them settle accounts and leave. Of the 1,000 people who came with him, only about 200 remained. The engineers and technicians are all gone.

"These people are really, rat-eyed things!"

"Forget it, human nature. Lin Feng comforted.

"So what to do, now there are only more than 200 people, and the progress of the project will slow down. ”

"Can't be slow," Lin Feng said, "I'll figure out a way, you go back immediately, prepare more living materials, I stay here and build the dormitory first, the living conditions are better, and with a little salary, I should be able to leave a lot of people." ”

Han Minghao left, Lin Feng called Lin Bozheng and asked him to find some young and strong people from ten miles and eight towns, with a salary of 1,500 a day, and food and housing.

As soon as the news came back, 2,000 people signed up in less than three days, and the enthusiasm was simply impressive.

1500 a day, many waiters in Rongcheng have this amount of money a month, and being a month is equivalent to someone else doing a year!

Such a good thing, a fool doesn't go!

On the fourth day, the team arrived, all of them were blind dates from ten miles and eight towns, and Lin Feng did not beat around the bush when he spoke.

"There are not too many requirements, as long as you can bear hardships and stand hard work, if you feel that you can't do it, you can go back at any time, and the salary is a lot. ”

For this project, Lin Feng didn't spend the money as money.

After a day's trial, only a dozen of the 2,000 people left, which made him deeply surprised and rejoiced. If these people can stick to it for a long time, then there will be no problem with the initial manpower.
