"Whoa!"

Tan Weiguo drove an excavator to dig up the sand in front of him, and then piled it on the bank of the river.

Dozens of excavators lined up around him were doing the same thing, all digging up the sand and transporting it to the riverbank.

There are several excavators on both sides of the riverbank, constantly pulling the sand into the distance and rolling it, in order to bulldoze the sand on the bank and compact the sand.

Their canal construction team numbered as many as 10,000 people.

However, in order to save efficiency, the construction was carried out in sections in order to speed up the construction of the Grand Canal.

The last 1,000-person construction team is to connect the Grand Canal not far behind them immediately after each section of the 100-mile Grand Canal is formed, and complete the final drainage and renovation of the river.

In fact, it is not very difficult to build the Grand Canal on the Great Desert, and the main thing is to pay attention to the timely introduction of river water, so that the Grand Canal can truly take shape and become a river.

Otherwise, you have only dug the Grand Canal here for a year and a half, and several rounds of sandstorms will bury the river again, and your efforts will be in vain.

Once a section of the Grand Canal has been excavated and constructed, it is necessary to bring in water to fill the river in time, and then start the excavation and construction of the next section of the Grand Canal.

The 10,000-person construction team where Tan Weiguo belongs is now equipped with 1,000 excavators, as well as various construction and logistics vehicles, thus forming a real mechanized construction team.

Every day, they were able to dig out the 50-kilometre-long Grand Canal, the kind that was completely formed and brought in the river the same day after the construction was completed.

As they dug all the way to the depths of the desert according to the coordinates of the satellite map, this high-standard Grand Canal took shape and extended quickly.

Working in the desert, you just need to know that there is a large canal full of water not far behind you, and your mood will be calm.

In the great desert, water is the source of life.

"Weiguo, according to the navigation of the satellite map, a hundred kilometers ahead, you will arrive at the central and western regions of the Great Desert, that is, the plateau area named the Eight Desolation Mountains by the boss."

Tao Jie said to Tan Weiguo.

Both of them are the team leaders of this construction team, and they both have a mechanized construction team of more than 300 people.

The two are still fellow villagers, and they are from Longyuan County, Yuecheng.

At noon, after lunch, there is a half-hour break.

"Yes! I heard that the company's plan is to pass the Grand Canal around this huge plateau area, and then merge together, and continue to the Panlong River in the east until it is connected to the Panlong River. ”

"The two 10,000-person construction teams located on our left and right, going hand in hand, will converge with us tomorrow, and the three Grand Canals will also converge together, and then divide into two construction teams to build the Grand Canal around this Eight Desolate Plateau area."

Tan Weiguo said.

"Well, our three Grand Canal construction teams have arrived at the center of the Great Desert by bypassing the Grand Canal in this Eight Desolate Plateau area, and this Grand Canal project is half completed."

"Half a month ago, the company had ordered the construction of three grand canals through the desert from the southeast, northwest and northwest."

"I don't know if the three Grand Canal construction teams from the east can join our construction team in front of the Panlong River."

"Video from satellite navigation shows that the three Grand Canal construction teams that started from Vermilion Bird City and went west to build the Grand Canal have approached the big lake directly west of the Panlong River."

"If they move faster, they should be able to join us a thousand kilometers west of the Panlong River."

"By the way, the greening team in charge of Lai Hongtao, have the personnel followed?"

He asked again, "The task of their greening team is very important this time, not to mention the large amount of grass seeds collected and sown along the banks of the three Grand Canals, but also to sow all the eight desolate plateau areas with nearly one million square kilometers. ”

"With such a large amount of work, it can't be completed without more than three months."

"This is still when they have a large number of pickup trucks, and they can drive around in this huge plateau area, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the work."

To be honest, although the work of the greening brigade in charge of Lai Hongtao is a little easier than that of his own Grand Canal construction team, it is not much easier.

Even if everyone is mechanized, the climate and environment in the depths of the desert are too poor.

Fortunately, there is also the Grand Canal, which will be built wherever everyone arrives.

With enough water, there is something to rely on in the great desert.

Moreover, the kind of grass sown by the greening brigade that was cultivated by the boss himself is too strong in vitality and fecundity.

It only takes half a month for them to take root and sprout firmly, and then after a month, they will spread everywhere.

Behind their Grand Canal construction team, the three completed Grand Canal banks within 100 miles have basically turned into green prairies.

Coupled with the three Grand Canals that flow slowly in it, it is like a fairyland on earth.

You wouldn't have imagined that a month or two ago, it was a desert as far as the eye could see.

Today's green grass and gurgling water, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe in this miracle at all.

This is also the proudest place for all the Grand Canal construction teams and greening teams.

Whenever I see a section of the Grand Canal and the green grassland, which is rapidly forming in my own hands, the feeling of refreshment and accomplishment is truly bursting, making people tremble!

So much so that every time they build a section of the Grand Canal, the thing they want to see most is the moment when the river water is finally introduced.

The water of the Grand Canal behind him, with the sand and soil deliberately left to block the river water, was quickly dug up by the excavator, and several sand mining boats entered the new section of the Grand Canal with the river water, and began to mine sand and repair the Grand Canal, and a section of the Grand Canal will quickly take shape.

This was followed by the company's greening team, which sowed a large amount of grass seeds on the banks of the river that had just been built, and then used a pump from the sand mining boat to water it.

In such a round of operations, those magical grass seeds will soon take root and sprout on both sides of the Grand Canal, and then spread in large numbers.

This series of operations has become the routine of the Grand Canal construction team and the greening team, and the use of this series of routines is becoming more and more proficient, and the progress of the project is getting faster and faster.

The three Grand Canal construction teams, who have been deep in the desert for nearly three months, went from being unfamiliar to being proficient, and they worked all the way to the depths of the desert thousands of miles away from the west coast.

But all the effort they put in, it was worth it.

Behind them, the three grand canals and the green prairies that spread to the horizon were the fruits of their harvest.

It makes everyone feel worthwhile.

Recently, everything has been going well, and there have been no sandstorms, which has to make everyone sigh: this is luck.

Otherwise, in the event of a sandstorm, you will have to turn back immediately and hide in the depths of the prairie behind you.

However, with the protection of the prairie and the Grand Canal behind them, as long as they react quickly, the construction team can avoid all kinds of losses even if they encounter sandstorms.

At most, the section of the Grand Canal that had just been built was cleaned again, and with a few medium-sized quarrying boats accompanying it, it was not difficult to do all this.

But in general, the weather that didn't encounter a sandstorm was good luck and saved too much trouble.
