Riding the wind of rebirth

However, there are still scaffoldings everywhere in the base, and it is obvious that it is still under intensive construction. I believe that the buildings and facilities that Zhou Zhi can see in those large bases in later generations will appear here sooner or later.

"What are they building on the top of the mountain over there?" Zhou Zhi asked.

“Reservoir.”

"What?" Zhou Zhi thought he didn't hear clearly.

"Reservoirs," Liang Guangping said. "We chose these two valleys because they have abundant water resources during the rainy season. To solve the problem of insufficient water supply during the dry season, we decided to build two reservoirs on the top of the mountain, and then use the mountain drop and contour channel to achieve automatic irrigation."

"Great!" Zhou Zhi couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Then please help us investigate and see if there are conditions for building a reservoir in the valley above Lianhe Township."

"Don't think about it." Liang Guangping shook his head and said, "The conditions in Lianhe Township are not suitable. Once a reservoir is built, the mountain will be loosened. Your problem now is not the lack of water, but the serious soil erosion during the rainy season, and the frequent landslides and mudslides on the mountain."

Zhou Zhi thought about it carefully and it seemed to be right. The water resources in Lianhe Township, at least for now, can fully meet the needs.

"The 'mountain dragon' built by Grandpa Chi Ri is really scientific." Liu Hongtao said: "If there is a need in the future, we can dig a channel to divert the water from the reservoir to the mountain pond at the dragon head, which can also realize the allocation of water resources. It is far more practical and safer than digging another reservoir in Lianhe Township."

Zhou Zhi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case: "Grandpa Chi Ri said that the water and soil in the areas where we planted sweet potatoes have basically been preserved this year. This forage grass is very effective, and we plan to expand the planting next year."

"It's better not to rush this matter." Liang Guangping said: "Environmental transformation should be a gradual process. To use the famous Sichuan dialect, it is called 'crossing the river by feeling the stones'. We should evaluate the feedback of the environment to the transformation every year, and then decide on the next step."

“Guangping is right.” Liu Hongtao agreed: “If we introduce too many species, it may lead to a single resource, further reduce biodiversity, cause pests and diseases, and eventually cause the already fragile ecosystem to collapse. That would be more trouble than it’s worth.”

"The caterpillar disaster in the Korean pine forest of Daxing'anling a few years ago is a typical example," Liang Guangping said. "This is because the biodiversity is too single. There are no other trees except Korean pine. Once the disaster breaks out, the whole forest will be wiped out. The consequences of the ecosystem collapse are very terrible."

"Then the pine forests in several of our townships are all Yunnan pine that was planted that year. Could this problem also exist?"

"It's entirely possible," Liang Guangping said. "So I suggest that you include the native forests preserved in your several valley water sources in scientific research, and then select species that can be expanded and propagated, conduct marginal guided expansion, and gradually increase the area of ​​native forests."

"At least we should intentionally use native forests to form native forest belts, and use native forest belts with biodiversity to separate single artificial forests, thus forming biological isolation for the spread of pests and diseases."

"Actually, it's not that there is no solution, huh? It turns out you already have quite a few tricks!" Zhou Zhi said in surprise.

"Hahaha..." Liang Guangping found Zhou Zhi's statement a little funny: "Of course there are many ways, but as for agricultural technology, you should have understood it by now. Promotion is the big problem."

"Indeed, cherries and Moroccan pomegranates have been in China for many years, but they are still unknown to the public." Zhou Zhi could only shake his head: "There are still many excellent varieties in the motherland that are unknown to the locals. It would be great if the country could conduct a comprehensive agricultural survey someday."

"It's not that the country doesn't want to do it, right?" Liu Hongtao said, "It's mainly a matter of funding, right? Nowadays, making missiles is not as good as selling tea eggs. The people who got rich first are not engaged in scientific research."

"This is a process. As long as there are people who get rich first, they will have to pay more taxes. These taxes will eventually be taken by the state and will naturally be allocated to where they should be used." Zhou Zhi is one of those who "get rich first", so of course he has to speak for them.

"Tsk!" Liang Guangping sneered: "I'm afraid those people got rich by evading taxes!" This matter was a big deal in 1989. A famous singer was at the peak of his career at the time, but it was revealed that he evaded taxes of nearly 40,000 yuan when performing in the three northeastern provinces, which caused public outrage across the country. He was fined more than 600,000 yuan before he got away with it, and his acting career was also seriously affected.

The key is that she still doesn't remember the punishment. Next year, this star will be involved in another tax evasion case, and then she will run overseas. Four years later, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she paid more than one million in taxes. Only after obtaining all the tax payment certificates was she able to come back.

But his singing career was basically over.

When thinking about the current serious loss of state-owned assets, Zhou Zhi felt that it was a bit redundant to speak for those who "got rich first". He also wanted to remind Guan Tingting not to be cheated by the agency.

As they were chatting, they arrived in front of the scientific research building. Liu Liangzhen was standing on the steps on the first floor, looking at them with a smile.

"Hello, Grandma Liu!" Zhou Zhi got out of the car and greeted Liu Liangzhen.

"Is Elbow back? Why haven't I seen Aguo recently?"

The Aguo that Liu Liangzhen mentioned is Ziqi Aguo, the cutest girl in the village. Liu Liangzhen likes her very much, and Aguo also likes this kind grandmother very much. Liu Liangzhen decided to build the base in Lianhe Township, so it is inevitable that she has a little bit of affinity with Aguo.

"Aguo's parents are working in other places, and they took him to the south during the summer vacation." Zhou Zhi replied.

"Well, kids should go out and see the world. It's not a good idea to stay in the countryside." Although Liu Liangzhen said this, she actually felt a little disappointed.

"Isn't the holiday about to end? Ah Guo will be back soon." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "That's just right. Today I want to discuss with you about the future of Ah Guo and the other kids."

"Oh? Really? Then let's go to the office and talk." Liu Liangzhen said.

"No!" Liang Guangping and Liu Hongtao hurriedly stopped him: "Director, Elbow agreed to let us move the grain station's satellite base station to the base, we have to install it quickly."

"Oh." Liu Liangzhen readily agreed: "Okay, then I'll watch you guys do it and we can chat while we do it."

The base building is very large, almost magnificent. There are five large classrooms on both sides of the corridor on the ground floor, each of which can accommodate two hundred people.

There are four such floors in total. The first floor is the teaching floor, the second floor is the research room and teaching and research office floor, the third floor is the living floor, and the fourth floor is the storage floor.

It's very empty. Except for the construction team living in the greenhouse, all the staff of the institute can't even fill up a classroom. They are scattered in this building and it looks very empty.

If it is spread out to the thousand-acre base outside, there will be even fewer people to be seen.

After careful selection, everyone decided to set up the satellite base station in a large room on the fourth floor. (End of this chapter)
