Two months later, the river of time rushed into the early summer, and although the seasons in the desert area were not distinct, the longer days made the newly sown grass in the rapidly expanding wetlands of the LS Experimental Oasis become more dense and gratifying.

Temporarily abandoning the planting of other vegetation and planting a large area of the six varieties of forage grass that LS Group has painstakingly harvested, the 'green seagrass species' with the most water-loving habits, the fastest growing and the most developed rhizomes is the only advice given by soil and water conservation experts.

Sometimes scientific conclusions are so simple that people laugh, but the process of reaching such conclusions and its value is by no means simple, but in a few dozen days, more than ten square kilometers of grassland miraculously appeared on the desert.

At this moment, seventy or eighty cattle and sheep of different breeds are wandering listlessly wagging their tails on the grass that can no longer be seen, gnawing on the green fresh grass, looking up from time to time 'moo...', 'baa...', looking at a group of people with various wide-brimmed hats under the sun in the distance, looking around.

The cattle and sheep were watching the people, and the people were also observing them, and I saw a Caucasian old man with a goatee, a thin body, and a standard cowboy dress in the crowd, pointing to the livestock pacing and eating, and said: "Dr. Li Sheng, judging from the water and grass resources alone, this place is even better than the best pastures I have ever seen before."

A typical pasture can recycle about 200 beef cattle per square kilometer of land, and a good pasture can have another 10 to 20 percent more, but according to the growth of pasture here, 280 or even 300 cattle are enough to supply.

Unfortunately, the unique climate of the desert has not only given forage an unprecedented benign growth environment, but also made it very difficult to build pastures.

It's contradictory. However, the reality is that the improved forage grass selected by breeding experts can quickly adapt to the changeable temperature of the sandy land, but it does not mean that the livestock can also be so lucky.

The difference between plants and animals in terms of environmental resilience is outrageous, similar to that of Mount Everest and the Mariana Trench.

According to the current hot temperature, this meadow is very suitable for raising short-haired livestock such as Berkeley Black Cattle and Orlante Flower Cattle, but when the temperature plummets below zero at night, no matter how warm the barn is, it will seriously affect the growth of short-haired cattle breeds, and the case fatality rate will be very high.

If you raise alpine yaks, no matter how cold it is at night, there is no problem, but the heat during the day can easily make long-haired cattle breeds dehydrate alive and die...

Oh, I forgot you were a brilliant biologist. It's a bit redundant to say that. In short, we are facing many, many problems, some of which are even insurmountable."

"Dr. Brown, a biologist is not the same as an animal husbandry, studying animals in the wild and animals domesticated by humans are two completely different concepts. I need professional advice from you and your team.

I know it's a huge challenge to build a proper ranch in such a damn environment. But that's what we need. In other words, it is the needs of all the people living in 'Noah', and hundreds of millions of years of evolution have made it necessary for people on earth to supplement sufficient protein and fat if they want to live a healthy and strong life.

The worsening food crisis forced Noah's immigrants to learn to build farms in the desert sooner or later. We can't live forever on the food we grow in skyscrapers and the frozen fish of the sea.

As long as you try hard and fail, it doesn't matter, history will remember our attempt, please don't give up. Zhang Lisheng, who was wearing a sweatshirt and shorts, a big straw hat, a thick short beard, and tanned skin, stood beside the old man, looking into the distance, interrupting the old man's words, and gushing encouragement.

In the time since the wetland was miraculously excavated at the edge of the oasis, he only did two things, one was to concoct a paper entitled "Analysis of the Evolutionary Trajectory of Desert Animals and Plants and the Change of Water Sources" to explain the reason why he bought a large amount of sand and hired excavators to dig the desert.

Scientifically demonstrating a topic for which there is already a definite conclusion is as simple as shooting a shot and then drawing a target for a professional scholar, because all the derivation processes he says have been proven to be correct, and other scientists can never come up with empirical evidence even if they want to refute them.

After all, the convincing root of scientific research is the correctness of reality, as the so-called practice produces true knowledge, if a young man can't dig up water in the sand, then his thesis is just an ordinary academic discussion, but he dug up the wetland, then the paper will naturally become a 'true knowledge' verified by practice, which is also the reality of cutting-edge scientific research.

The undisputed publication of the new paper in the frontispiece of Science magazine not only successfully solved the doubts, but also brought Zhang Lisheng a high academic status, making him a first-class authority on practical biology in one fell swoop.

After that, the young people did a second thing, and began to plan to turn the desert into a wetland and grow pasture into a farm.

To do this, he recruited a dozen well-known animal husbandryists, bought thousands of animals of different breeds at high prices, and after five weeks of experimental grazing, it was time to test the results.

As the scientist who led the breeding experiment, Brown was obviously not satisfied with the results of his more than 30 days of hard work, but this does not mean that this stubborn old man who was born in a California cowboy family will give in.

"Dr. Li Sheng, we all know that no matter how good a scientist is, it is unlikely that he will achieve groundbreaking results after the age of forty, but I am sixty-one years old this year, and not long ago I was begging God to give me another real job.

Noah has no pasture, cattle and sheep are kept in an 'air-conditioned room', and from birth to slaughter are confined in a space of less than eight square meters, I am a scientist and a cowboy, I can't allow myself to wear an all-white lab coat and slippers to draw blood from livestock for physical examination all day long in a crowded building.

That's not where an animal pastor should be, at least not a stubborn old guy like me.

You have given me the opportunity to regain my ideals, and I will seize it until I succeed and never give up. Brown replied to Zhang Lisheng's concerns sonorously.

In the face of the old man's stiff and solemn expression, although the young man did not understand the spirit of the cowboy of the United States, he clearly read a kind of indomitable stubbornness.

He understood the character and perseverance behind this expression, and was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled slightly, "I'm sorry Dr. Brown, I actually doubted the willpower of a cowboy with a true scientific spirit.

From now on, you will be responsible for all the planning of the farm, and I am confident in your professionalism and knowledge.

After the farm is built, I will reward you with five percent of the annual income from animal husbandry, which you will distribute to the team members as dividends...", he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Oh, so there is no need for me to stay here anymore.

It's 4:40 p.m., and it's still time to go back to New Washington A for dinner, so I'll take my leave and see you again. He turned and walked towards the oasis in the distance.

"Leave everything to me, so everything will be left to me...", looking at the young man's dissipating back in disbelief, Brown opened his mouth and said incredulously.

"That's the boss's way of doing things, Dr. Brown, he has a unique vision and determination, and he is very good at using both qualities, always finding the best person to solve a problem in the shortest possible time. Charlie, who was behind the old man, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, now tell me if you need anything, whether it is funds, personnel, or materials..."

On the newly sown pasture, the president of 'LS' began to discuss the next step with the founder of the group's most important future industry, while the founder of the company drove his solar jeep out of the oasis and galloped towards the city 150 kilometers away.

After galloping across the sand for more than an hour, in the evening, the outline of the skyscrapers has clearly appeared in the eyes of the young man.

Although a news confidentiality treaty was signed, and after more than 100 days of precipitation, no matter how hot the news was, it began to cool down gradually, but Zhang Lisheng still carefully did not go home, but walked around the city aimlessly for a while, randomly found a restaurant that looked good and parked the car.

But what he didn't expect was that he had just gotten out of the car, and before he could walk into the restaurant, he heard someone shouting in a low voice behind him: "Li Sheng, why are you in the city?"

"I can't stay in the desert forever, Ruili, but it's amazing that I've become like this, and you can still recognize me from my back. Zhang Lisheng turned around and looked at the Laven family and daughter who looked like they had just gotten off work and carried their handbags freely behind them.

"Oh, my poor brother, did you change careers and go to the beach to surf far away, how did you end up in the dark like this, and you still have a beard," Ruili joked, "I didn't recognize you, but I recognized your car, did you come here for dinner to accompany me?"

Hearing the girl say this, the young man was stunned, and then suddenly found that the NBC building was around the corner, half of the sign was clearly visible, and the neon sign of Thereportershome (Reporter's House) flashed above the wooden door of the restaurant not far away with a unique copper handle.

"Oh, I scrambled around the street for a nice looking restaurant, but I didn't expect it to be your NBC reporter's 'candy house', fate has arranged it this way, it seems that I can only treat you to a meal. Zhang Lisheng shook his head with a dumb smile, replied jokingly, and walked into the restaurant with Ruili.

It's a typical rice-style restaurant that blends drinking and dining, and the intricately printed newspaper clippings on the long bar counter of the old bar show that the target audience is very clear: the broadcaster or newspaper employees.

But the tired-looking drunken drinkers or coffee drinkers at the bars didn't seem to care about the restaurant's ingenuity, and no one cared about what was printed on the bar. (To be continued......)
