The strongest peasant city

Chapter 530 Underground River

Seeing everyone rushing out of the house, Li Xiaogang was taken aback for a moment, but before he could wake up, he saw two beautiful figures rushing towards him at the same time, one left and one right pounced on him in the arms.

Just as Li Xiao was about to ask what happened, suddenly two sharp pains shot up from his two arms respectively.

Li Xiaogang couldn't help looking up to the sky and screaming, then pushed the two girls away, stepped back a few steps, a little annoyed, grinned at the two girls and shouted: "What are you two doing? I didn't offend you, did I?" , why did you make such a cruel move?"

Seeing Li Xiaogang's embarrassment in pain and sweating, Qin Qin and Li Shuang couldn't help but giggled at the same time, and Gu Feitian and others who came after him also laughed loudly.

Seeing all the smiling guys leaning forward and backward, Li Xiaogang was a little puzzled, and asked nah, "You... you are not crazy, are you?"

Qin Qin took a step forward. Like a frightened rabbit, Li Xiaogang took several steps back, looked at her warily, and said, "You...what are you going to do?"

Qin Qin glared, and shouted softly: "Stand there and don't move, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Qin Qin was uncharacteristically domineering.

Li Xiaogang stood there anxiously, watching Qin Qin approaching step by step, Li Xiaogang felt that he was about to cry, and asked nervously: "I...what did I do wrong, you want to punish me like this ? Please, let me know if I am going to die, okay?"

Qin Qin walked up to him, grabbed his arm, and before Li Xiaogang screamed out, he gently stroked the place where he had twisted just now.He asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Li Xiaogang felt like he was going crazy, no wonder people said that this woman was a natural face-changing expert, she was really extraordinary and hard to fathom.

However, a pair of small hands gently rubbed the pain, which really relieved the pain and made it feel a little comfortable.

Li Shuang didn't seem to want Qin Qin to focus on the front, so he also walked over.It was like flying from hell to heaven all of a sudden.

While Li Xiaogang was enjoying it, he was worried at the same time, he didn't know when he would be sent back to hell again.

I looked to the left for a while, and then to the right for a while, and I was tormented.

"I'm sorry, I used too much force just now..." Li Shuang said distressedly, looking at the purple arm that was pinched by her.

Li Xiaogang smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, my arm can still be used."

Qin Qin couldn't help but pouted and complained, "It's your fault too, who told you to play and disappear without saying hello to us! Tell me, where did you go just now?"

Li Xiaogang felt a little wronged, and said, "Missing? I just couldn't sleep. I went to the place where we are going to plant trees today to find out the soil conditions in advance. Besides, why did I disappear for no reason?"

Qin Qin stuck out her tongue and said, "You don't need to complain to us, you have a criminal record, you can't blame others!"

Li Xiaogang said bitterly: "I don't blame you, I deserve it, right?"

"Brother Li, how did you get out? Why didn't my sentries find you? They must have dozed off while standing guard. It seems that I have to criticize them properly!"

Gu Feitian didn't expect that Li Xiaogang really went out, and said a little annoyed.

Li Xiaogang hurriedly said: "Don't do it, they are very serious when they are on guard, but..."

"It's impossible just to keep an eye on you, right?" Gu Feitian said the second half of the sentence that Li Xiaogang didn't say.

Li Xiaogang smiled and said, "This incident is all my fault. Before I act in the future, I will definitely discuss it with everyone and resolutely prevent such a thing from happening again."

"Xiao Gang, that's not what we mean. It's just that you are sometimes elusive, and we all worry about you. If you can say hello to us in advance, we don't have to worry about you anymore, do you think so?" ?” Zhou Zongnan said slowly.

Li Xiaogang nodded and said: "Understood, this is because everyone cares about me, hehe...so touched!"

"nausea!"

Li Shuang stuck out his tongue and popped out two words.

"Ha, I said Li Shuang, you must have changed too fast, you were so anxious just now, why now..." Qin Qin smiled and exposed Li Shuang's shortcomings.

Li Shuang glared at her, and retorted: "I'm not anxious, I'm not!"

"Hehe... Is there someone who knows clearly!"

Qin Qin's words made Li Shuang blush even more, and frequently rolled his eyes at Qin Qin.

That delicate and cute appearance made everyone laugh endlessly, only Li Xiaogang felt baffled, and wondered whether these people were really crazy?
Seeing that the commotion was almost over, Gu Feitian smiled and said: "Okay, let's have breakfast together. After eating, there is still work to do!"

Then everyone stopped playing and walked towards the restaurant together.

Breakfast in the desert is nothing more than porridge, steamed buns and pickles, it cannot be so rich.

But this seemingly ordinary and somewhat shabby breakfast has a special flavor when it falls into the mouths of Zhou Zongnan, who is usually a rich eater.

Seeing how many people ate with great joy, repeatedly calling it delicious, Li Xiaogang was a little dumbfounded.

That's how it is in this world.The poor like to eat refined grains, but the rich prefer to eat coarse grains.

"Hey, you're still pretending to be gentle about such delicious food, and you won't be eating any more in a while, so don't blame others!" Seeing that Li Xiaogang was not in a hurry, he ate in a slow and gentle manner.

Li Shuang couldn't help but said to him.

Gu Feitian glanced at Li Xiaogang, and at a glance he knew that Li Xiaogang was also a person who had lived a hard life. The two looked at each other with a wry smile, and Li Xiaogang said: "Only you people in the city would regard such a breakfast as a delicacy! If you Eat breakfast like this every day, and you won't be talking like this today."

"Hmph, what? This kind of breakfast is not sold in the city. If I were to eat this kind of breakfast every day, I would pass out from excitement. It's [-] times more delicious than eating those bread and milk."

Li Xiaogang gave a wry smile, and didn't make any further remarks.

Li Xiang poured the last mouthful of boiled sticky porridge into his stomach, and said to Li Shuang: "Li Xiaogang's family was not rich since he was a child, and he has always lived such a hard life. Unlike you, who live in the city and have enough food and clothing, Never had any pain.

On weekdays, if you eat delicious food and drink spicy food, you will naturally feel fresh when you eat a different kind of food out of the blue.If you eat it for three days in a row and still feel delicious like today, then I'll take it for you! "

Li Shuang looked at Li Xiaogang in a daze and asked, "Were your family poor when you were young?"

Li Xiaogang smiled wryly after hearing this, and said: "At that time, as long as you could have a full meal, it would be a great thing, what do you think?"

What Li Xiaogang said, people like Li Shuang who have not experienced it personally could not understand at all, but the bitterness flowing from Li Xiaogang's eyebrows made Li Shuang's heart sink, and he felt a little heartache.

"Okay, let's not talk about these heavy topics, let me talk about the new discovery I made about the desert in front of us this morning."

Li Xiaogang waved his hands and said, "You must never have imagined that the Taklamakan Desert looks lifeless on the surface, but there is a raging underground river hidden beneath it."

"This is impossible! If such an underground river really exists, our scientists will not fail to discover it!"

Zhou Zongnan was very surprised when he heard Li Xiaogang's words.

Li Xiaogang shook his head and said, "The reason why scientists haven't discovered this mysterious underground river is because no scientist really thought that there would be an underground river under such a desert.

People take it for granted that there is no such thing, so how can they discover its existence.Although scientific research cannot be mixed with the slightest sentimentality, it is inevitable that human beings are emotional animals. "

Li Xiaogang's words made Zhou Zongnan stunned for a moment. Indeed, if you have preconceived that there is no underground river underground, then all the evidence you find will be used to prove that the underground river does not exist.

This is a mistake that many scientists are extremely prone to make, and it seems to run through any scientific experiment like a nightmare.

As long as you can overcome it and learn to think in reverse, you can often achieve amazing results.

"Then how did you discover its existence?" Zhou Keqing asked suddenly.

One sentence stopped Li Xiaogang from asking. How should he answer Zhou Keqing's question? Did he tell him that he used his spiritual sense to explore the entire underground environment of the Taklamakan Desert?He was afraid that after saying this, Zhou Keqing would regard him as a lunatic.

Seeing Li Xiaogang's faltering and embarrassed expression, Zhou Keqing was after all quite old and experienced, so he hurriedly changed the question and asked: "What is the general condition of this underground river?"

Li Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief, lifted his spirits and said, "The flow of this underground river is very impressive, comparable to the water capacity of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The geological structure of the Taklamakan desert is very special, and the surface is about two kilometers below the surface. Three meters is the sand layer, and then down to tens of meters deep, it is a waterproof layer made of sand and gravel. Below it is this long-standing underground river. , because of the rich oil and gas resources here, the oil layer has formed a good isolation layer, which prevents the infiltration of underground river water. Year after year, this underground river has been formed. The underground river runs under the entire Taklimakan Desert Winding and circling, almost all over the desert."

Listening to Li Xiaogang's narration, Zhou Zongnan and other scientists were stunned. After a long while, Zhou Zongnan said leisurely: "If it is really like what you said, then the first problem our project faces, the problem of water, is a complete problem. Solved! As long as we build some mechanical wells in this desert, under the action of pressure, the water from the underground river will surge up by itself to form artesian wells, and the problem of crop irrigation will no longer be a problem!"
