Imagine the world

Chapter 15

The situation of Mission [-] has not changed, its content is "escort Dr. Rochard to leave safely", and what progress bar shows, it seems that only two results are completed or not completed.The reward was a villa on the southern coast of Fesuogang, and Huazhenhang didn't know how this villa would be rewarded to him.

Hua Zhenxing is not greedy for money. If there is no such system, he will still save Dr. Luo, and with this system, he will not reject these rewards.Of course, all things are good things, it depends on how they come from and how they are used.And he is more interested in another question, that is, how the reward will appear after the task is completed.

The next day, the two packed up and continued to set off.Hua Zhenxing judged that they should be basically safe, so he did not let Rochard continue to lead the way, and instead led the way.Walking through the black desert prairie under the rising sun, the cool wind blew away a little tiredness. There were groups of springbok drinking water in the distance, but Huazhenxing deliberately avoided places with water sources.

In the early morning, many animals will go to drink water, and in the dry season, the competition for water sources is also fierce. It is very dangerous to drink water. The scene of hunting will be staged at any time, and the spirits of the animals are also highly nervous.Huazhenhang did not want to scare these wild animals, although not afraid, but also did not want to attack unprovoked.

There are two rainy seasons in the grasslands of Jiliguo, the heavy rainy season in late spring and the light rainy season in late autumn. The current season is the driest time of the year before the heavy rainy season.Only the low-lying areas on the grasslands are still standing with water, and many rivers have turned into intermittent puddles, pools and long and narrow lakes.

Why hasn't such a large area of ​​wilderness been cultivated since ancient times?Mr. Mo talked about this issue. There are two factors, climate and people. The most important thing is the lack of accumulation of farming civilization.The precipitation here is concentrated, there are almost no farmland water conservancy projects, there is no mature irrigation system, and the wasteland is not fertile soil that has been intensively cultivated for many years.

Those who don't know how to farm are really not know how to farm. They need to be taught from a young age, or learn from others, and it will take at least a generation to cultivate them.Land that is not suitable for cultivation is really not suitable for cultivation. After reclamation, it takes several generations of intensive cultivation to become mature fields.

As for the water conservancy irrigation system and farming technology, it is not a simple matter in human history. It takes thousands of years of exploration to form scale and tradition.

Before the arrival of overseas colonists, the local community still maintained a primitive tribal society, and people lived by gathering and hunting.The colonists directly established cities and introduced a modern industrialized social civilization system, but they did not and have no intention to carry out large-scale construction and transformation of farmland water conservancy systems and infrastructure.

There are industrial and service facilities in and around the city, as well as plantations and farmland in the suburbs, but they are all developed in local areas where conditions permit. If you look at the entire territory of the country, it will look like a piece of skin. Ringworm spots.

This reminds Huazhenxing of the Dashanghai in the old society of the East.

In fact, the port of Fesso was once very prosperous. It was later destroyed by the social tear caused by various reasons, and now it is slowly rebuilding.But even if we go back to the beginning, it seems that nothing has changed, and today's Dongguo is completely different.

Why does Hua Zhenxing have such an association, because the overseas country he is most interested in is Dongguo, he has studied the history of Dongguo carefully, and has read a lot of graphic materials.

Many Jili people who live in the countryside usually also farm the land, but the way they farm the land will make a Dongguo person stunned, that is, when the rainy season comes, the seeds are scattered on the wilderness, and they are harvested when they are mature.No ploughing, no irrigation, no hoeing, the harvest of wild plants depends on God’s face, and the yield can be imagined, and many crops cannot be grown in this way.

One of the most common crops in the area is cassava, which is milled and dried into powder, and then steamed and detoxified to be used as food rations.Wild species are harvested, and wild animals such as warthogs also love to eat them.

In addition, the products on the wasteland can not be said to be rich. For example, the fruit of the baobab tree can also satisfy hunger, and there are many things to eat... But that's all, it is impossible to expect how clever they are in agriculture and food. Processing technology, not to mention the art of gourmet cooking.

Mr. Mo once walked the vast wasteland in the northern part of the country. He believed that this place could be completely developed and transformed. He even pointed out how to build water conservancy projects and irrigation systems, and in which areas to develop them without affecting the overall ecology. Modern agriculture and processing can ultimately improve the environment and climate of the entire region.

Although Mo Shangtong has such an investigation conclusion, it is impossible to realize such a blueprint. This wasteland is neither his nor the straw shoe upper. Even with the current straw shoe upper, it is impossible to complete such a task.Hua Zhenxing once asked Uncle Mo how to do it. At that time, Mr. Ke, who was next to him, inserted a sentence: "If there are enough materials and utensils, [-] Dongguo Chinese people are enough."

This may not be bragging. Feiso Port now has a construction aid project from Dongguo, and their work efficiency and construction ability are beyond the reach of the locals.If the local people do the same project by themselves, I am afraid that it will not be done for decades, and it will only take a year and a half to reach the Dongguo Construction Engineering Group.

The workload of these Dongguo workers is already huge in the eyes of the locals, but they still have time to farm. They have opened up a lot of vegetable fields in and around the station. There are all kinds of vegetables, and they are growing so well.Old man Yang is a greedy guy. He urges Hua Zhenxing to buy all kinds of fresh vegetables that cannot be eaten locally.

How much can Xiao Hua and Old Man Yang usually eat? Lao Lei, the person in charge of the construction site, and the workers are all familiar with Hua Zhenxing, and they are basically given to him for nothing.Old man Yang didn't want it for nothing, and asked Huazhenhang to bring some tobacco and alcohol from Dongguan every time.

Many workers there never planted land when they were in Dongguo.Also raised chickens can lay eggs every day!After making a plate of fried red peppers with eggs, Huazhenxing asked old man Yang.

Old man Yang told him that this is because the basic quality and growth environment are different, in short, the people are different.Where do people come from, just like those vegetables, they are all grown from the land of society.

Those workers who aided in construction have not only received legal compulsory education in Dongguo, but also at least have a high school degree. The basic education in Dongguo is very solid.They have learned collective management and labor cooperation, and since childhood, they know that no matter what they get, they need diligence and wisdom. They grew up in such a cultural environment, and they are neither lazy nor stupid.

The so-called stupid or not is not necessarily the innate IQ, the more important is the way of thinking passed down from generation to generation; the so-called lazy or not, the most important thing is the corresponding behavior.Although they have never planted vegetables, as long as someone teaches or finds teaching materials, they can start to grow vegetables, and the more they can grow, the better.

Seeing that Hua Zhenxing was still blinking, the old man Yang suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen anyone here dig a well?"

Hua Zhenxing knew what a well is, but he had never seen the real thing. After learning the Dongguo character, he was very puzzled, and asked old man Yang for a long time, trying to figure out what it was.Later, he learned to surf the Internet by himself, and checked a lot of pictures and video materials, which was regarded as an insight.

Of course, the port of Fesso was built in a place with water sources, otherwise it would not have developed into such a big city.But lack of clean drinking water is a problem for most of the country's population, at least according to every relevant UN report.

In fact, the annual average rainfall in the country is not very low, but the problem is that the rainy season is relatively concentrated, and the drought period is very long, and there is an extreme lack of water conservancy projects here.

The central area of ​​the port of Fesso has running water, and the water supply system was destroyed and then rebuilt.But with the expansion of the city, many neighborhoods now have no running water. They are used to using jars or buckets to fetch water at a fixed location every day. Many people also put various utensils on their heads.

People living in the countryside basically go to the rivers to fetch water on weekdays. If the stream stops in the dry season, they will fetch water from low-lying pools, and they will be used for drinking after they are left to settle.This is actually very unsanitary, and various charitable relief organizations often distribute water purification tablets to local people.But no one digs wells locally. If it was in Dongguo, there used to be more than one well in almost every village.

Hearing this question, Hua Zhenxing was stunned before answering: "I've never seen it before, they don't know how to dig wells at all."

Old man Yang took a bite of the dish, put down his chopsticks and said, "That's right, no one is born to dig a well! It's so troublesome to dig a well, it takes a lot of people to work together for a long time, it's dirty and tiring, It's dangerous, but it's not always possible to get out of the water. If you have time, you'll have to go to the river to get the water, and then you can go and have some fun, right?"

Hua Zhenxing was amused, and nodded again and again: "Mr. Yang is too vivid, the local people are indeed like this, they really think so."

Old man Yang: "The enlightenment of civilization is first of all a leap of thought. With conscious awareness, people can overcome their instincts and make correct choices. Many correct things go against human instinct, such as sowing in spring, which cannot make people immediately It is a sensible choice to be satisfied, and to wait until autumn to harvest.

There is an idiom in Dongyu called foresight. This is the case when drilling wells and growing vegetables. It is not out of desire and impulse at that time.Dongguo crossed this stage thousands of years ago, completed civilization enlightenment and ideological transition, and then continued to inherit it to this day.

But here, from the suburbs to the urban area, the primitive tribes directly encountered modern industry and colonial capital, and it was too late to perfect the process. They either directly drank tap water or went to the river to fetch water. No one could dig wells and did not want to learn. Well... Now you understand? "

Hua Zhenxing: "I seem to understand a bit."

Old man Yang: "You are still young, and one day you will fully understand."

Huazhenhang was indeed still a little ignorant, and later he heard more stories about various dishes from Chief Engineer Lei.Chief Engineer Lei has visited more than one country in the Black Desolate Continent, and of course he has also assisted in the construction of more than one project.The last project was not in the port of Fesuo. They have been working on it for almost two years, and they have also built a lot of vegetable fields in the station, which amazes the locals.

After the project was completed, the workers all evacuated, and the locals took these vegetable gardens as if they were treasures... A few months ago, there was some maintenance work, and Mr. Lei took a look at the previous construction site, and the vegetable garden became a wasteland again. .

Although Dongguo's aid workers are very good at growing vegetables, they are only opening small-scale vegetable gardens near the station, which is far from solving the problem of this wasteland.When Hua Zhenxing saw the prairie in the dry season, he inexplicably remembered how the local people farmed the land, and the conclusion of Uncle Mo's investigation that year, and also the story of planting vegetables and digging wells... His thoughts diverged widely.

He suddenly had another association, would the "Xuanxiangguo System" that suddenly appeared in the future give him a task to transform this wasteland like the blueprint drawn by Uncle Mo?If there is such a task, according to Ke Fuzi, there must be [-] Eastern Chinese, and there must be sufficient equipment and materials. How can this be accomplished?

Since the appearance of the inexplicable "system", Huazhenxing's ideas have become very lively.At this moment, Rochard shouted from behind him, "Hua, let's take a break. I'm really tired from walking. It's hot and I've run out of water."

　Punch a well, fake votes!
