Chapter 403 The land is as hard as weathered stone

The rising speed of the lifting platform can be described as turtle speed.

At a height of about 70 meters, it took six minutes to reach.

With a slight clang, the lift table reached a position parallel to the bottom of the gap.

Pulling out the key and closing the iron box that protected the button, the Chengxin brothers rode forward on an all-terrain vehicle.

When Chengxin took the key, Zhong Tao opened the railing door and the two rode out, but they didn't stop, and went directly to the road 100 meters ahead, winding and winding, built with cement.

The whole road is 1.5 kilometers long and has two-way lanes, but it is narrower than the normal two-way lanes.

A few minutes later, the two brothers finally reached the top of the mountain.

This is also the first time that the two brothers have come to the mysterious mountain since they were born and have wanted to come up and see the top of the mysterious mountain since they were young.

"Brother, this is really like what the village says, it's really desolate."

After the two brothers went up to the top of the mountain plain, they immediately stopped the car, and then took out their binoculars and looked around.

The whole plain, the terrain is quite flat, at a glance, you can see it several kilometers away, and then far away because of the problem of vision and angle, I don't know what the situation is.

Where you can see it, you can only see a few weeds or shrubs from a long distance.

As for the whole ground, it is uneven, all kinds of cracks, and when you look at it from a distance, it feels like it is still a white expanse, and you can't see the color of the earth.

It's like who sprinkled a thin layer of lime on the ground.

"Desolation is desolation, and it will be good when you plant something."

After looking at it for a while, Chengxin retracted the telescope and replied.

"Do you have the confidence to grow food or pasture where the birds don't poop? I'm a little hanging. ”

After Zhong Tao saw the appearance of this land, he was not optimistic at all.

"There are so many ways, how do you know if you don't try?"

Many places in the country can grow food in saline-alkali land, Chengxin doesn't believe that he is not short of water, and there is such an external attachment as spiritual liquid, and he can't grow a little grain and pasture?

After speaking, Chengxin didn't say much, and after getting out of the car, he found a pickaxe that was prepared when he came to the car.

It's the kind of thing that has a steel drill on one end and a hoe on the other.

Bang bang bang, Chengxin picked up the pickaxe and dug into the ground with the side of the hoe.

There was no accident, as the experts who came up said that Chengxin dug more than ten centimeters, and when he dug down, he couldn't bring much soil.

When digging below 10 centimeters, you don't feel the slightest feeling of digging in the soil, but like digging a hoe.

This is still the result of Chengxin's great strength, if Zhong Tao is allowed to come and dig down, every time he digs, the hoe can only bring up a thin layer of skin.

"Damn, it's so hard, is it sand down here?"

Relying on Chengxin to dig ten centimeters, digging down. Only the thumping of hoes and the impact of the ground were heard, and not a single piece of dirt was dug up.

Is that digging up the ground? This Nima is digging up regoliths.

Bang bang bang, ignoring Zhong Tao, Cheng Xin changed the pickaxe to one side, and chiseled deep again in the direction of the steel drill.

Because of the small edge of the stressed area and the large strength of Chengxin, the drill bit is easy to chisel.

After prying, a small piece of hard soil as hard as a stone was pried up by Chengxin.

Putting down the pickaxe, Chengxin picked up the hard soil that had been pried up with great effort, broke it with his hand, and split it into two.

Zhong Tao also squatted down, reached out and took a piece from Chengxin, broke it for a while, and then looked at it carefully for a while.

"I'll plug it, this thing doesn't look like sand and stone, why is it so hard?"

Zhong Tao could see that the thing in his hand was dirt, not the weathered stone he thought.

"This mountain is full of saline soil, and the soil underneath is hardened, which is why it is so difficult to dig."

Cheng Xin opened his mouth and explained simply.

"Hardened? I look like I'm about to turn into stone, this hardness, you use a large rotary tiller to plow, and you can't plow? ”

Zhong Tao said this correctly, with this hardness, in the awesome large-scale rotary cultivator, except for a layer of ten centimeters of soil on the top, and further down, there is no way to plow.

"This hardness, the rotary tiller must not be able to do it, I will ask after I go back, see if the excavator is okay."

"The excavator's hammer can break the concrete, and the soil is not as hard as the concrete and stone?"

"There are also those pickaxes on the construction site, you can try them."

Chengxin had thought of this before, so he didn't hesitate and immediately answered Zhong Tao.

“!

Excavators? I said, brother, although the excavator can break through the hard soil, you are using these things to grow food. ”

"As for the hammer of the excavator, and the kind with a pickaxe you mentioned, although it can be broken, but the broken soil is all piece by piece, are you still going to use other equipment locks to break these hard soil blocks into a surface?"

Zhong Tao hasn't learned much in the past two years, and he knows a lot about farming.

So as soon as Chengxin said this plan, he immediately said the pros and cons.

"Well, what's it, but there's no rush now, won't you know when the time comes, as long as the cost isn't too high, it's okay to trouble at all."

The land must definitely be developed, and how to get there depends on the development cost.

"Let's go, let's go somewhere else."

Chengxin is not changing the topic, and going to this mountain is not to check the composition or situation of the land.

The purpose of this visit was to find a depression where water could be stored.

After all, whether it is a pasture or a farm in the future, it will need a lot of water to irrigate or wash the salinity in the land.

It's not okay to go straight from the pipe to the field, right?

So, you have to find a depression, or a valley, and store the water that flows from the mountains in it.

The two brothers set off again, heading in the direction of the village.

After all, it is close to the village, so whether it is to install pipes on this mountain or dig ditches to bring water over, the distance is short.

The investment is also much saved.

Stop and go all the way, get out of the car from time to time to dig the land, and the result is almost the same as the first time, it is difficult to dig down about ten centimeters.

I simply ate a little at noon and continued to look for it in the afternoon.

From the lifting platform to the edge of the cliff near the village, it is less than 60 kilometers in total.

Even if they stopped and looked around all the way, for more than half a day, the two brothers ran back and forth.

Passing from the side near the Yang Valley, and coming back from the side near the Yin Valley.

Along the way, I saw several low-lying places, and there were also places that could be used as cisterns.

But these places are too small.

The smallest is about 100 square meters, and the depth of water storage is also high and low, the low one is two or three meters, and the high one is seven or eight meters

In large places, there is an area of more than ten acres, but the depth of water storage is too low, and it feels like it can't hold three meters of water.

In this kind of place, after the water is impounded, the water area is large, but the depth is not enough, and the evaporation is fast.

This kind of place, Chengxin is not satisfied, can only be used as a backup, if you really can't find it, you can only use these places.

After a day of searching and a day of riding, the two brothers set up their tents and rested for the night before dark.

The next day, the two brothers began to search again.

The straight-line distance from Yang Valley to Yin Valley is somewhat tens of kilometers.

Just run one round trip, that's not enough to see.

The two brothers leaned a few kilometers into the middle and searched again.

While searching, I also stopped from time to time to check the land, hoping to find a piece of hardness that is not so high by the way.
