Chapter 1359 Green in the Desert
"Mr. Jiang, the desert you see in front of you has been planted and greened by us."

"Thanks to the development of aircraft seeding technology and sprinkler irrigation technology, we carried out more than ten aerial seedings in the spring and autumn of last year alone. The coverage area reached hundreds of kilometers around here as the center, basically It completely covers all the desert areas assigned to us. Among them, [-] tons of grass seeds were directly consumed, many of which are drought-resistant, salt-alkali-resistant varieties we introduced from abroad."

"This year we will continue to carry out aerial seeding operations, and strive to cover and green the area of ​​hundreds of kilometers, so as to form a grassland with a radius of hundreds of kilometers. In this way, the impact of wind and sand on us can be greatly reduced .”

"In addition to herbaceous plants, we are also active in afforestation. According to the surrounding environment, we still choose the tree species as drought-resistant Populus euphratica. Although the fast-growing poplar used in the Sanbei Shelterbelt is good, but after our research and found that this tree was not suitable for us."

"Well, you are right. Although that kind of fast-growing poplar can grow into a forest in a short period of time, there will be disadvantages after a long time. What we have to do is once and for all, so it is better to stick to ourselves." Jiang Chenwen Yan nodded.

"Hehe, at present we have planted Populus euphratica on the sides of all the water sources in this vicinity. And with the use of dropper technology, we have now planted a large area of ​​Populus euphratica forest on the periphery of the base. It is expected that in a few years, These Populus euphratica forests can grow. At that time, they will not only block the wind and sand, but also become a beautiful landscape here."

"And with the introduction of water sources here, the formation of lakes, and the growth of pasture vegetation, a large number of animals have been attracted. From small sand sparrows, gerbils, hares, and foxes to large ones, wolves, gazelles, swans, and wild geese , eagles, etc. According to the experts, a biological chain is being formed here."

Jiang Chen laughed and said, "Of course, in this kind of desert, there are water sources and vegetation, which represent life. So many animals have come here all of a sudden, it seems that your investment in this aspect is also the same. It is worthy of recognition. But in the future, we need to increase protection in this area, especially to ensure that it is not damaged by human interference."

Chang Qing nodded and said: "Don't worry, we have already prepared for this. At present, we have established a barbed wire fence and warning signs on the edge of the desert assigned to us, and will conduct regular patrols to prevent outsiders from entering and destroying. In addition, regarding the employees here, we also have clear regulations, that is, we must not harm the animals and plants here, and we must protect them. Through our publicity, everyone has also become aware of this aspect, and there have been no problems in this aspect so far .”

"Good job, how is the establishment of our security community in Longxi?" Jiang Chen changed the subject.

Chang Qing replied: "The first phase of the project has been completed, and some employees have already moved in. Now we are hurrying to carry out the second phase of the project. In this regard, the local government has given us a lot of help, so the progress is relatively smooth. Currently, every day In the morning and evening, there will be another shuttle bus departing from the two places to pick up and drop off employees. On Friday afternoons and weekends, there will be additional shifts running throughout the day to facilitate employees’ commuting.”

"Is this bus from the local area or our own?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.

Chang Qing shook his head and said, "It's our own, and we use large buses produced by ourselves. Although the local government is willing to help, but this road is too desolate and relatively far away, so the operating cost is also relatively high." High. In addition, there is really no money in the place, so we didn't bother them and figured out a way to solve it ourselves."

Jiang Chen nodded and smiled and said, "It's right to do this, and we can't bother people with everything. I guess this road alone has already made the local government very difficult. A few days ago, the leaders of Longxi They are complaining to me, saying that they have invested a lot of money before we have seen half of our money, and my heart is bleeding."

"Hahahaha,,," everyone laughed when they heard this.

"What's that?" Dongzi asked Chang Qing, pointing to a glass building over there.

"Hehe, please this way, everyone, I was just about to introduce it to you." Chang Qing said with a smile: "This glass building is actually our greenhouse. The dimension here is relatively high, and most of the temperature in the year It is relatively low, so we built a greenhouse. Originally, we wanted to use plastic film to build one casually, but you also know the climate here, and it was overturned by a strong wind in a few days. Even if it didn’t overturn, The flying sand and rocks here will also be riddled with holes. So there is no way to build such a glass greenhouse."

"Everyone, please!" When everyone came to the glass greenhouse, Chang Qing gave way with a smile.Under Chang Qing's guidance, Jiang Chen and the others entered the greenhouse.As soon as you enter the greenhouse, you will be greeted with a sense of warmth.Moreover, the inside of the entire greenhouse is full of greenery, which is in stark contrast to the wild and desolate scene outside.

Seeing everyone's interest, Chang Qing said with a smile: "Here, or in the entire Longxi region, vegetables are more expensive than meat, and the source is very difficult. Because the arid and cold climate here is not suitable for vegetables The only thing that can be called a vegetable is potatoes, which are called yams here. This kind of thing is very suitable for growing in the sandy land here, and it is also very drought-tolerant. It is the staple food of most people in the rural areas here. But you also know, For outsiders like us, there are only a few ways to eat potatoes, and they can't be eaten at all. After a few meals, everyone started to roll their eyes."

"As for meat, it's much cheaper here than in Anxi, especially the beef and mutton. But we all pay attention to a combination of meat and vegetables. It's meat all day long, and everyone is tired of eating it. Especially our female employees , complaining every day that it is too greasy. So we thought about reclaiming some land to grow some vegetables, but with little success. Finally, we built such a greenhouse under the collective suggestion of everyone. Although it cannot satisfy the whole All the employees in the base have a normal supply of vegetables, but it is also possible to improve the food every now and then. And everyone likes this, and whenever they are free, they will come here to volunteer." Chang Qing introduced with a smile.

"Well, it is conceivable that life is indeed very difficult. Well, since the whole method is feasible, I think we can continue to build a few more. It doesn't matter if you spend more money, the important thing is to improve everyone's life." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!" Chang Qing said excitedly, and some of the cadres following him cheered softly.

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said, "This is what we should do. To be honest, I'm sorry for you. You only came to this place after you believed us. Naturally, we want to protect your life. Although the conditions are limited, what we can help is also Very few, but as long as we can do it, we will do our best."
