I build an oasis in the northwest

Chapter 15 Elymus

Back to the store.

The forestry company's saplings and pasture company's wheat straw have all been delivered.

Chen Mu greeted Duoji into the storage room, pointed to the pile of saplings and wheat straw, and asked, "Have you counted the number of saplings and wheat straw that were delivered? Are the numbers correct?"

Dorji nodded, took out a list, and said, "I clicked on the list, and the quantity and category are exactly the same as those on it."

After saying that, he picked up two bags the size of two fists from the corner and handed them over: "Brother Chen Mu, the driver asked me to give these to you alone. They said they were grass seeds from Satawang and Wheat Grass."

Sandawang is a kind of high-quality green manure that is resistant to wind and drought, heat and cold, barrenness, wind erosion, sand burial, and trampling. It has low requirements on the soil and can improve the soil.

One batch of seeds can be grown repeatedly for five years, and can be harvested three to four times a year. The yield is also higher than that of ordinary forage. With good maintenance, the annual yield can reach [-] kilograms.

After maturity, you can choose to harvest and dry it, or you can directly graze it.

Most importantly, it is very resistant to trampling.

Duoji looked at the two bags with an uneasy expression: "Brother Chen Mu, this grass species is not registered on the list, and the quantity is not recorded, so I don't know if the weight is correct."

These are extra gifts, and naturally they will not be recorded on the list.

Chen Mu nodded: "Well, the number is very right."

After loading the two bags of grass seeds, Chen Mu and Duoji moved out ten bundles of wheat straw, then took off the frame cart pulled by the mule and replaced it with a wooden board.

There is no way, because of the pressure point, in order to avoid the problem of the wheels getting stuck in the sand and being unable to move forward or retreat, the frame truck can only be changed to a wooden board.

After opening the trunk, Duoji looked at the fish fry in the trunk and was very surprised.

"Brother Chen Mu, are you going to raise fish?"

"Well, there should be a crack in the geological layer in front of it, and the water on the ground has formed a lake. I think it's idle, so I want to build a lake to raise fish."

In order to prepare for the future launch of the oasis, Chen Mu began to take precautions in advance.

"Oh."

Dorji nodded disinterestedly. For him, he didn't like all the topics about lakes and aquatic products.

Even more will not get started to touch.

Chen Mu didn't force it, but just moved down one by one by himself, then went into the house to get a shovel and a hoe, moved the wheat straw onto the plank, and then drove the mule cart to the oasis.

Before leaving, he specifically told the young man: "Dorji, I'm not sure when I'll be back tonight. Just lock the door and go home at seven o'clock. You don't have to wait for me."

He is going to the lake now and is not sure when he will come back.

Duoji is an honest child. If he didn't explain it in advance, he would probably be able to wait forever.

Duoji nodded obediently: "I see, Brother Chen Mu."

Because it was dragged on the ground with wooden boards, the forward speed was very slow. It took nearly two hours to drive and walk for an hour.

When they got to the ground, as soon as they took off the things from the mule, the mule ran straight to the lake and drank water.

After arriving at the lake, Chen Mu looked at his vitality value column, and after confirming that he had enough vitality points to be deducted tomorrow, he chose option three and exchanged the filtering function.

[Successful exchange. 】

The electronic sound fell, the yellow sand under the feet vibrated, and there was a strong sound of water flowing from the ground. A large stream of water gushed out from the cracks in the ground. Under the influence of an unknown force, the lake crazily spread towards the surrounding yellow sand.

After ten minutes, all visions stopped.

A ten-meter-sized lake appeared in front of the eyes, and the water surface was sparkling, like a beautiful pearl embedded in the long yellow sand.

Only then did Chen Mu start putting fish fry, shrimp fry and crab fry into the lake.

After scattering the fish food and cooking it properly, he opened the vitality column.

really.

After a mule came to the territory and 1500 fish fry, shrimp fry, and crab fry were released, the vitality value suddenly increased by 1501.

His guess was right.

In the territory, as long as it is a living creature, you can gain vitality from it.

The vitality value is the basis for supporting their survival-life energy.

At the same time, the system also issued new tasks.

[Release mission: Make the vitality value exceed 1]

[Task reward: Territory map planning function permissions. 】

[Current vitality value: 1075]

Chen Mu had already experienced the magic of the system, but when he saw that the next reward was actually a map planning function, he still felt amazing.

Panoramic map, water area map, and now adding a map planning function, it really feels like the place is under control.

Excited in my heart, I thought about it wantonly in my heart.

After seeing that the vitality value column only had a pitiful 1075, Chen Mu was pulled back to reality in an instant.

"...It's useless to think about it, let's work hard to save life value first!"

After sighing and returning to reality, Chen Mu picked up a shovel, surrounded the lake, and began to make a drafting grid.

Grass grid is one of the great inventions of Xia people.

This one-meter by one-meter square grid laid out in a mesh shape on the desert is called the Magic Cube by foreigners.

Although the northwest wind and sand are very strong now, in the 60s and [-]s, when a third of the house could be inundated by one blow, the modern sandstorm was just a small wind.

Especially in 54, when the country built the first desert railway, the Lanbao Line, as long as there was wind and sand blowing, sand and dust would be raised, posing a great safety threat to passing traffic.

In order to solve this problem, the scientific researchers at that time tried their best to use flat sand barriers, cobblestone pavement, asphalt mixed with sand and other methods, but none of them could solve this problem.

Until one day, the workers in the forest farm accidentally discovered that the slogans such as "Man will conquer the sky" and "Zhongwei Sand Fixing Forest Farm" were made of wheat straw in the desert. After a storm, the square characters were not covered by the sand, and even After the wheat grass also grew well, the history of sand control for the Xia people officially began.

In 1987, the grass-grid sand-fixing method won the National Science and Technology Progress Special Award, and was also listed as one of the "[-] Best Global Environmental Protection" by the United Nations Environment Program. It was promoted around the world and became a miracle in the history of world sand control.

Since then, countries plagued by wind and sand have sent people to learn this technology.

The steps of making grass squares are cumbersome and tiring, and in order to create the effect of green grass under the trees, Chen Mu had to sprinkle long wheat grass seeds on the flat wheat straw on the ground while making grass squares.

In this way, during the force of the shovel, part of the seeds will fall into the sand, and part of the seeds will be pressed into the gully along with the wheat grass, but in any case, after watering, the rotten and dry wheat grass will become a barrier to protect it and fertilizer.

After they grow, they can not only prevent wind and fix sand, but also become a part of the ecological environment of the oasis for herbivores to eat.

　There is also a story about the source of the grass grid is "a shovel".

　　It is said that a forest farm employee took out a handful of camels' ration of wheat straw after work, threw it on the ground, and then pressed it into the ground with a shovel. There was a strong wind and sandy weather in the middle. When he came back a week later, he found that the grass was still on the ground. , was not buried by wind and sand. After repeated attempts and research, experts found that the best effect was to make the grass into a one-meter by one-meter square grid, which could prevent wind and fix sand and stabilize the soil. Since then, a shovel started the era of sand control for the Xia people.

　　But this is a bit... so I adopted another term.
