Chapter 331: Standing tall in a sandstorm
Dinner is stewed mutton soup, rice and mustard, and drinking a bowl of hot mutton soup with dried chili peppers in this ghost weather, and then soaking two bowls of rice and stuffing the mustard into the stomach, it is even warmer than roasting it directly.
After eating and drinking, the workers who had been tired all day talked and laughed and walked into the temporary dormitory.
Makeshift dormitories are actually rows of caves, and there's nothing more reassuring than staying underground in such windy weather.
When night falls, 20 large spiders stay around the dormitory, like people's protectors.
"There's a sandstorm tonight," Han Minghao looked at the black distance, his expression full of worry, "Our pipes will be fine, right?"
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. ”
Lin Feng believes that the strength of supramolecular polymeric materials is not worthy of such an expensive price if it is blown away by a gust of wind.
The two walked into the circular office and flipped through the map on the table.
Within a few days, hundreds of pumping wells had been erected in the desert, and pumps had been installed.
"I know you have a way, but I want to ask how the hell we grow turf on the flowing yellow sand. ”
"You've been to the Lin Family's Ancient City," Lin Feng said, "have you seen those vines on the city wall?"
Han Minghao nodded, but was a little unsure. Those vines don't look like drought-tolerant, hardy plants.
"It took them only three days from sowing seeds to climbing the walls. ”
"This ...... How is it possible?" even if it is an illiterate cowherd baby, he knows that everything grows regularly. It takes three days to overgrow a city wall, and that can only be the spell of the legendary Daoist Fang.
"There is no doubt that everyone in Linjia Village has witnessed this fact with their own eyes," Lin Feng said with a smile, "but there is one more troublesome thing, the growth of these vines requires not only water, but also special fertilizers. ”
"Presumably the price of seeds and powder is very expensive. How much does it cost to cover this desert?"
Lin Feng laughed completely: "Anything that can be solved with money is not a thing. ”
Yes, he wanted to say this sentence a long time ago, but only now did he have the confidence to say so.
The ancient city of the Lin family has been built, and the automatic defense system has been installed, and he has no worries at all. As for himself, there are protective suits, flying machines, gliders, and a system of heavenly punishment in space.
Even if he starts a war with the whole world at this moment, he is sure of victory.
If he hadn't continued to make more money, he wouldn't have invested hundreds of billions of dollars to go to the desert to plant grass and trees.
"I can't wait for the water to flow in and it must be nice to see the desert turn into green overnight. ”
............
The cold wind howled all night, and the empty sky seemed to be floating thousands of devils, showing their teeth and claws.
This is already the case at the edge of the desert, presumably in the center of the desert, the sky is already full of yellow sand, and I don't know how many sand dunes have been scraped into flat land, and how many flat land has become sand dunes again.
Known locally as the Sea of Death, Taklamakan is a veritable forbidden place of death.
Only the pumping wells that stand tall and tall stand majestically in the violent wind and sand, like middle fingers raised in this harsh climate.
At two o'clock in the morning, Lin Feng and Han Minghao climbed on a big spider and followed the construction team into the desert to check.
Even in the 300-meter-high cab, you can still see the yellow sand. A huge searchlight located under the belly of a large spider that can turn night into day can barely send a beam of light more than ten meters away in such an environment.
"If the wind and sand don't stop, we won't be able to do it today. ”
"There's no hurry, there's always a time to stop. Lin Feng looked at the map on the screen, they were still an hour away from the nearest pumping well, so he shrunk comfortably in his chair, "As long as we wait for us to plant vegetation, such wind and sand will be rare, so let's take advantage of it now to experience it." ”
"I'm not interested, I love the grassland, I want to ride a horse or drive on the grassland. ”
The two of them chatted like this, waiting for the dawn to come. As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thin clouds in the east, the wind finally began to subside.
A large amount of sand and dust that had been scraped up several kilometers into the air began to fall, like the frost in the early hours of winter.
"Haha, it's still there. ”
Lin Feng pointed through the clear glass to a huge sand dune in the distance, and a pipe more than ten meters high appeared on the top of the dune.
"It's good to build high, otherwise it will really be buried. ”
Driving the big spider into the inspection, the pipe did not suffer any damage, the pipe mouth was well sealed, and not a single grain of sand entered the underground water channel.
The wind stopped completely, and the sky was as calm as a lake without a trace of waves.
"Let's go!"
With a shout from the team leader, those workers who hurried to rest in the cockpit immediately took action, except for a small number of logistics personnel, injuries and diseases, more than 2,000 people were all sent out.
There are hundreds of people on each big spider, and after a few days of exploration and familiarity, they have become proficient enough to install a pumping well and pump in just over an hour, and install 6 units a day and collect early work.
Looking at these workers wrapped in cotton coats, their noses were red from the cold, but they were full of energy, Han Minghao felt that the people he had just found were simply babies who grew up hiding in a greenhouse.
The working people at the bottom are the real creators.
In order to ensure that there was no problem with every pumping well, Lin Feng summoned the Shenxiang Flying Machine from Rongcheng and stopped on the broad back of the big spider.
"Let's go, let's fly to check. ”
"Can you fly a plane?" Han Minghao was obviously stunned, "You wait for me to think about it, even if you know how to fly a plane, where is there a plane here?"
Lin Feng smiled and led him to the back of the big spider, where the Shenxiang Flying Machine was quietly parked.
"God, you really have a plane, when did you buy it?"
"I bought it a few years ago for a holiday in Australia. ”
Well, Han Minghao felt that he had lost to him.
He used to be a big tyrant in Rongcheng, so he played with modified cars at most, and Lin Feng bought a plane for a vacation, this person is really not comparable.
The two of them flew into the air and checked all the hundreds of pumping wells to make sure there were no problems before returning to the station.
Today, the train carrying the supplies has arrived, and the people who stayed behind to be in charge of logistics are unloading the goods with cranes and moving all the important supplies underground.
"Your conditions here are so hard!"
A figure wearing a fur coat and a furry fur hat suddenly approached Lin Feng's side.
"Academician Sima?" Lin Feng looked at her strangely as she was wrapped like a fluffy bear, "Why are you here?"
"Anyway, it's not far, it's so convenient to take a high-speed train," Sima Lili was wearing a mask, eyes, and almost no place in the air except for her nose, "I heard that you are transforming the desert, I was curious to come and have a look." ”
"Come and sit in the office, it's too cold outside. ”
When I came to Lin Feng's humble office, a large generator was sending electricity to the air conditioner, and the slight heating made people feel like a spring breeze.
Sima Lili took off her heavy fur coat, hat, mask and glasses, and was still wearing her white gown.
Her taste in clothes really belongs to the level of a village girl, and there is no trace of fashion and trend in her at all.
Lin Feng poured her a glass of boiling water: "Don't you have to study airplanes?"
"The plane I want to study has already been flown here by you. ”
Lin Feng could only laugh embarrassedly, if he wanted to study the Shenxiang Flying Machine, it would definitely be impossible in a short period of time.
"I went outside to look at supplies. Han Minghao naturally found an excuse to slip away, and then left this small space to the two of them.
