The large excavator has an amazing weight, and it is a heavy job, the engine emphasizes torque, ignoring the horsepower, and the speed is naturally not too fast, even if a special 'sand chain' is installed in the desert, the maximum speed per hour is only more than 30 kilometers.

The journey of one hundred and fifty kilometers took four or five hours, even if the cab was air-conditioned, it was inevitable to go sweaty and dizzy, and the excavator drivers who rushed to test the oasis were not in a very good mood, even if there was a high salary temptation, but they were just messy and sparse to deal with a few words, "Don't worry, boss, of course we will work hard when we get the money...";

"I've been driving an excavator for more than 10 years, and I've done all kinds of projects, big and small, and I've never had a problem...";

"It's really hot here, but since your salary is enough, you should do a good job...", and ran into the cool oasis.

The scorching sun and dryness of the desert are the natural enemies of all plants, but when the water supply is abundant, the situation can be reversed.

During the day, the intensity of prolonged and intense sunlight will cause the photosynthesis of plants to proceed rapidly, and the growth rate is unimaginable.

At night, the harsh weather can put the surface parts of the plants through harsh grinding, and the plants that can survive will naturally have strong vitality.

At this time, the harvest of the expedition team of the six groups of LS Group who ventured to the major agricultural states of the Federal Earth Territory to collect good seeds had been screened and planted in small areas on the test oasis, and several fruits and vegetables with short growth cycles had been sporadically harvested, although not in large quantities. But the harvest is enough for forty or fifty people every day.

There are only 30 scientific teams and breeding experts in soil and water conservation on the oasis, plus farmers, cooks, construction workers, and resident doctors, and ten excavator drivers.

Wheat fragrant bread sandwiched with fried brown meat steaks on both sides, with lettuce soaked in clear river water to get greasy, after the last drink a bottle of cold and refreshing dark beer to cool off, lunch is simple but full of flavor and very delicious, the sturdy excavator drivers satisfied their stomachs, changed the fatigue of the past, became energetic.

It wasn't until this moment that the simple-minded, four-limbed guys noticed that there seemed to be no place for an excavator in this oasis that could be seen through with the naked eye.

Squatting by the ditch boldly, 'whoosh...', picked up the water, threw it on his fat face, and washed away the sweat stains and the greasy corners of his mouth. One of the tallest men in the driver wiped his face vigorously with his sleeve. Put on a hard hat and shouted to the stocky employer who was squatting beside him: "Boss, it's half past one in the afternoon, and we can start work."

For the next four hours. Say something. We work. I don't think there's anything to do here, though. ”

"John, I'm not the boss when I get here, wait for me in a minute. I'm going to ask the real boss what you're supposed to do. Charlie, who had a 'picnic' by the river with the rude drivers, stood up and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face clean, and strode to the largest prefabricated house on the riverside.

Before he could reach the door, the tempered plastic door of the board room suddenly opened, and a black-haired young man with a slightly tired expression and two light dark circles on his face walked out.

"Boss, ten excavators have arrived, and the workers are ready to work at any time. Charlie quickened his pace to greet him, came to Zhang Lisheng's side and said respectfully.

"Very good Charlie, let them start digging at the edge of the oasis, the deeper the better. Zhang Lisheng, who had just finished casting a long spell, casually ordered.

The order was exactly as Charlie had imagined, so the president of 'LS' nodded respectfully, turned back to the drivers, and loudly conveyed the young man's command.

Hearing this unbelievable order, the drivers whispered and shouted, "Dig the sand, dig as deep as possible, do you want to dig out oil in the desert?"

"What an idiot you are, now half of Noah's cars are electric, and oil will soon become worthless for a meter, and it is better than water...

Ah, water, they must have wanted to dig a spring in the sand, and since there must be an oasis here, there must be a water source, what a clever idea. ”

"Oh God, you're still calling people idiots, if the desert around the oasis must be able to dig up water, then the desert will still exist, use your brains man...", but since you have accepted the employer's high salary, if you don't understand it, you still have to do the work.

Chatting and walking to the excavator, the drivers began to discuss the operation method seriously, and after forming a tacit understanding, ten steel machines soon started on the edge of the test oasis, pushing huge shovels and began to level the sand dunes one after another.

Excavating in the sand is much more efficient than in ordinary dirt floors, and after a while, deep ravines appear in the desert, and under the clever cross-operation of the excavators galloping vertically, they converge into a large square pit with a side length of more than a kilometer.

One meter, two meters, three meters... As more and more dry yellow sand is pushed out of the bottom of the pit, the height of the pit gradually increases, creating a landform that resembles a dry lake.

The loud sound of the ten excavators working together had already attracted the idea of the workers who built the board houses on the oasis and the farmers who watered and fertilized the various crops, and they obviously thought that digging the desert was a very absurd thing, and they could not help but quietly look around after work, and whispered to pass the time as a talking point.

On the roof of a freshly built slab house, a white man with bare upper body showing solid muscles and broken blonde hair is doing the most debugging of the solar charger;

While muttering to his companion who was taking care of the motor on the ground: "Look, Charles, those excavators can't see the 'head' anymore, I estimate that the pit dug is at least six meters away, it seems that we will have to take a detour next time we go home." ”

"What the hell, Robert, don't worry about the excavator for a while, I beg you to put on your uniform first, tie the safety rope, and don't cause the two of us to be deducted from our salaries, okay?" Underground, meticulously dressed in canvas overalls in the hot weather, looking at the wrinkles on his face, the old worker raised his head and shouted in a low voice.

"Oh, don't get excited, man, okay, the height of this prefabricated house is less than two hundred and fifty centimeters, I can jump straight down, do you really think you have to tie a safety rope..."

"Damn, this is the law, and protective measures must be taken if the work is more than 150 centimeters above the ground...", the old worker on the ground shouted impatiently, but in exchange for his young companion's slow reply, "but this law is unreasonable, we all know that those politicians and parliamentarians are some grandstanding white, white, white..."

The corner of his eye squinted into the distance and froze, the strong man with his upper body bare on the roof stiffened, his mouth opened unconsciously and suddenly stood up inexplicably, but he slipped and fell to the ground with a 'bang'.

"Oh God, Robert, are you okay, don't move, try to move your fingers first.

Can you move your fingers, move it..."It happened too suddenly, and Charles was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that his work partner had an accident, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and reminded Robert loudly of the steps to self-examine his injury.

The shouting aroused the idea of the people who were working hard nearby, and everyone intuitively gathered around, and some people shouted wildly, "Doctor, doctor, someone is injured, someone is injured...", and ran to the medical room in the distance.

But to everyone's surprise, Robert, who was regarded as an injured man, sat up suddenly under the eyes of concern, and said with straight eyes: "Spray, fountain, Charles, I saw a fountain on the roof."

It's, it's incredible, I guess I'm hallucinating from the heat of the hell. ”

"Fountain, what fountain, this is a desert, you won't hurt your head, don't move your buddy, don't move..."The old worker said nervously.

At this time, an even more surprising scene suddenly appeared, only to see Robert stunned, when the doctor was carrying a first-aid kit and shouted, "Everyone get out of the way, give the injured enough space to breathe...", and when he hurriedly ran towards him, he jumped up from the ground and ran at an alarming speed towards the huge crater at the edge of the oasis a few hundred meters away.

Standing on the edge of the pit a few seconds later, the strong man jumped and jumped like a child, shouting in such excitement that he couldn't help himself, "Fountain, it's really a fountain, I'm not hallucinating, these excavators have dug up a swamp, it's everywhere, it's everywhere!"

It is difficult for people who have not lived in desert cities to imagine that the people of the desert attach importance to water, which represents prosperity, hope, future, life, and the beauty of everything in the barren desert...

The madness of the bareback man in the distance caused everyone in the oasis to run towards the crater, and what they saw afterwards made them almost unable to believe their eyes.

The ground beneath the pit, which was supposed to be dry grains of sand, was covered with fertile black and yellow wet mud that flowed around with the current, and streams of water from four or five meters high spurted down with a 'whoosh...', turning the mud into a swamp.

Ten excavators trudged through the wetlands, slower as snails, but their drivers were like heroes, cheering loudly with excitement.

"Boss, it looks like you've done another great miracle, and it's 'big news' indeed. Standing at the window of the special simple board room and looking at the jubilant crowd, Charlie turned his head to look at the black-haired young man who was swaying comfortably in the rocking chair, and complimented him sincerely.

"Charlie, don't be complacent, if you just dig out a small underground lake, it's not 'big news'," Zhang Lisheng stopped his rocking chair, stood up and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now it's just the first step, and then we should go and meet Professor Cornegie to talk about how to conserve water and soil and turn the wetland into an oasis."
