In order to welcome more workers, Lin Feng began to dig holes in the open land again, and the living and accommodation of 10,000 yuan is a big problem, and the management is also a big problem.

Han Minghao also did not have the experience to manage so many people, and although these workers worked diligently, some of them still lacked organizational discipline. On the edge of this vast desert, there are no people in a radius of dozens of miles, and it is easy to have an accident when you go out to run around.

So Lin Feng borrowed a thousand people from Political Commissar Li to help manage it, so that the entire camp became orderly.

Lin Feng looked at the plan, the northwest corner of the piece had been painted light green, and the place near the pumping well had been painted dark green, which meant that vines and iron peach trees were planted, respectively.

He has been here for more than 20 days, and he has barely completed one-eighth of the amount of work, which still makes him a little dissatisfied.

Spring is just around the corner, and the storms in the desert are going to be bigger and denser, so the progress of the project must be accelerated.

Fortunately, the second main aqueduct has been opened, a large amount of purified seawater is on the way, and the second phase of 1,000 pumping wells is almost completed.

In China, the most important thing is people. As long as the personnel are in place, the speed will be much faster than the first phase.

Lin Feng decided not to go to school to sign up for it first, this was the first time he had put so much effort into a project, so he wanted to watch it finish from start to finish.

Moreover, the danger factor in the desert is relatively large, and with him in charge of the scene, even if there is an emergency, he can solve the problem as quickly as possible.

As for other projects, naturally someone will take care of them, as long as they go back occasionally to buy some goods.

After making up his mind, he entrusted Political Commissar Li to help him ask for leave from the school. I took it for so long last semester, and my exam results were still among the best, so I didn't encounter any obstacles in taking a leave of absence this time.

To his surprise, Sima Lili didn't seem to have any intention of going back to study the plane, but followed him all day long.

This made Lin Feng a little worried, this girl is too smart, she has already begun to study botanical knowledge, it is estimated that it will not be long before there will be another botanist in Huaxia.

Forget it, let her go.

Anyway, the desert is vast, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is also a good choice to have someone to talk to.

However, Han Minghao is getting busier and busier, running at both ends of Taklamakan and Bohai Bay. If a new underground water canal is to be opened over there, it is natural that a new seawater purification plant must be built first, and the remaining six purification plants will be started at the same time, and he must personally come forward for many official matters.

In addition, hundreds of urban areas across the country have begun to build garbage recycling plants at the same time, and with the construction of new sewage treatment plants everywhere, the number of managers under his command has reached the scale of thousands of people, and the number of workers is tens of thousands.

These are not the most troublesome, the available resources extracted from garbage recycling plants, sewage treatment plants and seawater purification plants also need to find a place to sell, which he does not dare to take lightly.

Because Lin Feng had told him that this desert renovation project needed a lot of money, and he was running out of money now.

In this society now, it is difficult to move an inch without money, and Han Minghao doesn't want to stop there halfway through the desert transformation. So sometimes for a profit of one or two percent, he even traveled thousands of miles to negotiate a contract.

is as busy as Han Minghao, and it belongs to Hu Yihai and Fan Lei.

Hu Yihai promotes the breeding of starry sky silkworms throughout the country, and also cooperates with education and charity, which is a myriad of things every day.

Fan Lei is even busier, high-speed trains, urban subways, the country has made up its mind and is working at full speed to build infrastructure, hundreds of engineering teams and hundreds of thousands of people are ready, just waiting for him to dig tunnels.

As a reward for hard work, the benefits are also huge, and in February alone, these three projects brought in hundreds of billions of dollars.

Of course, Lin Feng's spending money here is also like flowing water in the main underground channel, flowing outward.

10,000 tree planters, on average, each person has to plant 200 iron peach trees every day, and the saplings alone cost 7 billion, and then counting fertilizer, wages and living consumption, 10 billion a day is considered to be Silas's easy down.

He sighed in the office more than once: making money is like a swallow pecking at mud, and spending money is like a wave of sand.

Sima Lili always likes to ridicule this, the swallow he said is probably thousands of miles big.

"It's just a metaphor, so why bother?"

March has just begun, and the first phase of saplings has finally been planted. The first planted saplings have grown from a height of one meter to seven or eight meters, and the trunk is thicker than the calf.

It is estimated that when the last sapling is planted, these saplings will grow into large trees and begin to bear fruit.

Lin Feng likes to go around these woods every day, watching them grow stronger day by day, and feeling that his hard work has not been in vain, and more importantly, the money has not been in vain.

The vines on the ground were too dense to settle on their feet, and countless tendrils were intertwined in the sand, firmly locking in some moisture.

Closer to the pumping well, many vines have already produced small flowers of various colors.

It is a very strange phenomenon, the air temperature is still below zero, the sky is still blowing a cold snap from Siberia, but the ground is blooming like a warm spring.

If someone suddenly comes here and tells him that it's actually a desert, no one will believe it.

Several workers pulled out a long steel pipe from the ground, a soil extractor designed by Sima Lili to test the depth of the aquifer.

"There is no dry sand in the ground of the first phase. ”

This is good news, if you keep the water, you can slowly turn the sand layer into soil, and then give birth to more suitable vegetation to form a new biosphere.

But before that, it is necessary to fertilize these barren lands.

It doesn't cost much to fertilize, and the seawater separation and purification plant has enough potassium chloride every day, and there are a lot of nitrogen fertilizers such as urea, which can be directly transported and sprinkled down by plane.

When all the sand layers have gradually gained moisture, the pump does not have to work all the time, as long as the water supply is supplied regularly as needed.

Due to the stable terrain, there is no need to worry about sandstorms burying the pumping wells, so the part that sticks out of the ground is also dismantled in batches and then used in the next few phases of the project.

These things are expensive and can't be wasted.

In mid-March, the second and third phases of the project were completed at the same time, and more than a third of the entire Taklamakan Desert has now turned green.

The wind blew from the north, and it could no longer bring the thousands of meters of sandstorm that it used to be, and in just over a month, the Sea of Death had gradually been conquered by two green plants and turned into an oasis of flowers.

However, when approaching the center of the desert, there was still a lot of trouble, and the wind and sand here were so violent that almost every day that the progress of the project was at its slowest level.

Moreover, some of the vines and saplings that had been planted were also buried by the sand and dust in an uncertain direction, which made Lin Feng feel distressed for a long time.

It's all money, and a gust of wind and sand may bury him with tens of billions.

In the face of the power of nature, human power is so small, but it is so indomitable. Taking advantage of the calm weather for a few days, the workers gritted their teeth and worked more than 16 hours a day in the freezing cold.

This time, they changed their tactics and did not rush to plant trees, but first sowed the seeds of vines, which could climb the ground in just two days, so that the wind could not roll up the yellow sand.

After more than half a month, everyone fought with the wind and sand, and finally conquered the most dangerous section of the desert.

Although the wind is still blowing, the desert sky is cleaner than ever.
