Chapter 296 Drought
After the unhappily broken-up talks, the representative of Mi Li's family left Shanmei directly.

Williams of the International Radio Association and Jason of the IEEE stayed in Dongtang for the time being, and they planned to test the situation of Huawei.

On the other side, we turn our attention to the masked area.

The pipeline construction company of Dongyin Water Group is at the construction site in the Badain Jaran Desert in Mongolia.

"Phew! This horrible weather is really hard!" Zhu Jianguo, the president of Dongyin Water, wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Old Zhu, why are you here?" Ma Chang, the vice president in charge of the pipeline construction company, ran over sweating.

"Drink some water." Zhu Jianguo handed Ma Chang a bottle of pure water produced by the water company itself.

Ma Chang was not polite either, he just took it and gulped it up.

"Phew! The weather this year is too abnormal. It hasn't rained in North China, Northeast China, and Mongolia for two months." Ma Chang said with a breath.

Zhu Jianguo said with a serious expression: "It's not just our country that suffers from severe drought, but many regions around the world are experiencing droughts of varying degrees."

"so serious?"

"Okay, we can't control the affairs of other countries, let's take care of our own affairs first!"

"That's true."

"How is the progress of the project?"

Ma Chang quickly opened the holographic bracelet, called up the construction map and said:
"The line from Sangenda to Baiyun Obo has completed the water supply. The line from Baiyun Obo to Wulatehou Banner is now only three pressurized pumping stations. It is estimated that the water supply can be completed in a week."

Zhu Jianguo looked at the construction map and nodded.

"The line from Urad Rear Banner to Alxa Left Banner is currently being laid to Jilantai. We have adopted multiple simultaneous constructions. It may take until August to complete the entire line."

"As for the line from Wulatehou Banner to Ejina Banner, the progress is faster, and the water supply may be fully connected by mid-July."

Zhu Jianguo looked at Ma Chang, who was a little peeled from the sun, and sincerely patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thanks for your hard work."

"It's all to serve the public." Ma Chang smiled, showing his white teeth.

Zhu Jianguo looked at the holographic projection map. Countless blue lines covered the northeastern part of the country. These blue lines were the water supply pipelines of Dongyin Water Group.

At present, the water supply network of Dongyin Water Group initially covers all areas of Liaodong Province, Hebei Province, Beiping City, Tianjin City, and Shandong Province.

In addition, it also covers the central and eastern parts of Mongolia, the southern part of Kyrgyzstan, the eastern part of Jin Province, and the northeastern part of Henan Province.

The southern branch of Dongyin Water Group has also built some seawater desalination plants in coastal areas, but it has not yet laid large-scale water supply pipelines to the inland.

This line in the Mongolian area, called the northern line, is ready to enter the Xinjiang area. It starts from Huludao City in the Bohai Bay——Chifeng City——Sangendalai——Sunite Right Banner——Baiyun Obo— — Urad Rear Banner — Ejina Banner — Hami City — Junggar.

The other is the middle line, starting from Dongying City in the east - Binzhou City - Dezhou City - Shijiazhuang - Yangquan City - Taiyuan City - Luliang City - Suide - Jingbian - Dingbian - Ningxia - Wuwei City - Jiayuguan City - Dunhuang - Tarim Basin.

Next is the south line, starting from Rizhao City in the east - Jining City - Heze City - Zhengzhou City - Weinan City - Xi'an City - Baoji City - Tianshui City - Lanzhou City.

These three are main lines, and there are many small branch lines.

Of course Zhu Jianguo knew that such a large project could not be completed all at once.

"Old Ma, the output of our desalination plant is enough to supply the entire north, northeast, and northwest, but now the water supply pipeline can't keep up, and the drought this year is particularly severe. Your burden is heavy!"

"I guarantee that the water supply pipeline will be laid in the Xinjiang area by the end of this year." Ma Chang said, patting his chest.

"Pay attention to your body. Your body is the capital of the revolution. Don't ruin your body." Zhu Jianguo said with concern.

"Haha! Don't worry! We won't have to worry about eating and drinking at the construction site, it's not like climbing snow-capped mountains through the grass."

Zhu Jianguo picked up the binoculars and looked at the construction site not far away.

Sweaty workers are working under the scorching sun.

An airship hangs a huge pipeline. Under the command of the workers, the pipeline is slowly lowered. Below is the base that has been poured with foam cement in advance.

These transport airships are the most preferred by the galaxy enterprises, mainly because they are too convenient, especially for construction in areas with complex terrain. Airships can be used as cranes and transport vehicles.

In addition, it can also be used as a temporary residence, and in case of an emergency, it can also be used as a means of rapid transportation.

Putting down the binoculars, Zhu Jianguo turned his head to Ma Chang and said, "Old Ma, I will discuss with the board of directors to increase the wages of front-line workers, and there will also be high temperature subsidies."

"Thank you very much." Ma Chang said happily.

"In addition, I will ask the logistics department to equip you with some airships, refrigerators, air conditioners, bathrooms and the like for daily use."

"You can have this. I haven't showered for more than a week."

"Okay, I'll go back to the Huludao headquarters first, and call directly if I have something to do." After Zhu Jianguo finished speaking, he took his assistant and others and left by airship.

In fact, the domestic drought is very serious this time. If Dongyin Water Group had not laid a large number of water supply pipelines to supply a steady stream of fresh water to all parts of the north, there might have been a drought long ago.

At present, the areas with the most severe drought are the Guanzhong area, the western part of Mongolia, and the Hexi Corridor.

These areas are mainly because the water supply pipelines have not yet been laid, and many cities now have to limit water, or exploit groundwater to alleviate the drought.

Erenhot.

Here is close to the border of Mobei country, and the border trade is very developed.

Niu University went to see the situation in the seabuckthorn field. Just after returning home, he saw Mobei's uncle: "Sabah, why are you here?"

"Forget it, the grass in our pasture is dying of drought." Sabah said with a sad face.

"The drought is so severe?" Niu University asked in surprise.

"Do you have any water here? I have drilled three wells and they have all dried up."

Niu University thought for a while: "It's true that it hasn't rained recently, but I use tap water here, and I haven't heard of a water stop."

"Tap water? I don't have tap water over there, so I have to dig a well myself."

"If you have a car, you can bring some water back," Niu University suggested.

"Bring the water back? How much is your water?" Sabah asked quickly.

"It's like fifty cents a ton!"

"so cheap?"

Shaba figured it out, and soon he made up his mind to transport water from Dongtang back to his farm in Mobei.

After discussing with Niu University, he immediately drove his small truck to the repair shop, and asked the master to modify the rear body.

He went off and bought six giant plastic buckets himself.

After the minivan was remodeled, it was filled with six large buckets of water. Sabah filled six large buckets of water at the home of her brother-in-law Niu University, and drove the minivan back to Mobei.

The border checkpoint did not embarrass Sabah either. After all, there was fresh water on his pickup truck, and there were no contraband or the like.

However, many herdsmen living in Mobei soon discovered that the tap water in the Mongolian area is very cheap, and the supply is unlimited.

They drove large cars and small cars to Mongolia to buy tap water, and then transported the fresh water back.

For this kind of thing, the border checkpoints of both sides can only turn a blind eye and close one eye. After all, Mobei and Mongolia are still closely related.

In the end, the officials of Erenhot found out that the herdsmen in Mobei came to transport water. After discussing with Dongyin Water Group, they decided to lay a short section of the water supply pipeline to Mobei.

Of course, this water supply needs to be charged, and Zhu Jianguo will not make a loss-making business.
