C971 Go to the Desert to Plant
That is to say, it occupies 13% of the country's territory.
The Northwest Arid Zone is the most desert area in the country, 80% of the desert in the country is here.
Taklimakan Desert, Gulbantongut Desert, Badanjilin Desert...
Bai Xiaobei looked at the desert, not knowing which one to pick.
"The Taklimakan and Gulbantungut deserts, let's choose the one with the lowest difficulty level."
Bai Xiaobei did not choose the Taklimakan Desert, because the environment of the desert was even worse than that of the Gourbandongut Desert. The temperature was usually as high as seventy to eighty degrees during the day, so what could possibly survive this temperature?
He couldn't do this even if he wanted to.
The environment was also known as bad, but there were many animals that lived in that area. Yellow sheep, wild donkeys, wild boar, wolves, foxes, jumping rats, baby snakes, turtles, sand eagles, and more than a hundred other creatures, even if the environment was bad, they could still live in that place.
"Brother, what are you doing?" He had been looking at the map for a long time now, and from time to time, he would take out his tablet and draw on it. His eyes lit up: "It can't be that you want to go to the desert for a reason, right? Can you bring me along? "
Travel in the desert? Why else would he look at the desert?
"Who's going on a trip?" Bai Xiaobei rolled his eyes and said: "Let me take a look at the place.
Isn't that going to play? He mumbled to himself.
Where's Auntie's Uncle Yang Shitou? Bai Xiaobei suddenly remembered that he went to the Kui Shan Village. Why are you back so soon? And not for a few days?
"Too many people. It's like looking at a monkey. I'm not used to running back here."
"Let me take care of it. You go and play first. Don't run around for the next few days." Bai Xiaobei understood that even if his family's seven aunts went to the village, he would not be used to it.
In the next two days, the President Su and the Old Master Zhao would probably bear fruit. It shouldn't be difficult to cultivate in the desert.
The Old Village Head and Zhou Heizi were still watching over the breeding mountain. The chickens and ducks there were already growing at a rapid pace, and still needed to be fed a large amount of food everyday.
"Xiaobei, hahaha, come take a look. These chickens and ducks are really not bad!"
Old Village Head was happy in his heart. Right now, the village was no longer short of money, but seeing all of this, he still felt a strong sense of honor.
"Third Grandpa, you can just find someone to mess with these. Yo, this little duckling listens actively." Bai Xiaobei walked over, and upon seeing the little duckling in Old Village Head's hands, he couldn't help but laugh. He rubbed the little duckling's head, and surprisingly, the little duckling gave Bai Xiaobei a forceful peck with his finger.
Zhou Heizi wiped his hands and said happily: "It's simply a miracle, I haven't even seen anyone who's not in the right mental state!"
When did raising chickens and ducks become so easy? Zhou Heizi still remembered raising a bunch of beasts in the past and passing away their days after a few months. At that time, those who died from illness, those who were lost, and the last two who were dragged away by weasels, really felt like their livers had exploded from the anger.
Bai Xiaobei laughed, and did not say much.
He then said: "Third Grandpa, I have already found the parents that were walking around, and it is already troublesome from living in the past. I want to build a batch of lodging houses in the village, Third Grandpa, do you want to look after them?"
Old Village Head grinned: "Of course you can, I will take care of it, as long as this little girl is happy!"
That afternoon, Bai Xiaobei saw the scouts from the President Su and the Old Master Zhao.
Seeing the two's excited expressions, Bai Xiaobei could not help but ask: "You two couldn't have not slept for the whole night, right?"
It seemed that it really was the case.
"It's sprouting, it's sprouting!" President Su was so excited that his face turned red: "It's already sprouting, in the sand, in the sea, in the alkali soil, in the sand, it's already sprouting, it's all sprouting! Hahahaha, we have tested it all, it's completely feasible, completely feasible!"
They were all sprouting!
Even though Bai Xiaobei knew the result, he still couldn't help but exclaim happily: "Not bad, that's good, you can try it now!"
The Iron Maple Ancient Tree's seed would probably need at least another half a month to be released. Bai Xiaobei did not plan to wait that long, and wanted to grow it for experiment.
"Desert?" Old Master Zhao also said excitedly: "If we can really grow it in the desert, we can cover it bit by bit in the future!"
The scope of the desert in the country was too big. If he could make use of it, he would definitely benefit greatly from it.
"I have already raised a batch of seeds, so I can go and have a try. For now, I'll go to the edge of the desert and plant some."
The seeds that Bai Xiaobei had produced right now were at most able to grow a few acres, but that was enough for now. As long as this batch was successful, Afforest Desert would only be a matter of time.
"Where are we going to plant them?" President Su was very excited.
"Gurbantung Desert!" Bai Xiaobei had already chosen a place long ago to develop his desert and Afforest Desert.
President Su and Old Master Zhao did not refute him, but went to prepare. Obviously, they were moved by what Bai Xiaobei said, and this experiment also gave them confidence. After all, simulation of the desert rice fields was extremely successful.
It was only on the third day that Bai Xiaobei finally saw the two of them. and the group of special forces who were accompanying them also came to protect them.
"Master, there are a lot of people up there who want to meet you now. The Golden Spirit Rice that you researched has already been witnessed by a lot of people in the past two days, and the results are astonishing.
Wang Hu was also very happy. Originally, it was not a good news, but when it came to Bai Xiaobei, it became good news in a blink of an eye.
"The most important thing is my Afforest Desert. This is my true goal."
Bai Xiaobei added on after hearing this, right now there was no shortage of food in the country, at most, they would not import it, and increase the agriculture, so there was no need to keep importing.
Wang Hu said in a low voice: "Master, this is too difficult right? There are many deserts with temperatures above 50 degrees. "
This kind of temperature, not to mention greening, one wouldn't even be able to endure it no matter where they were. Moreover, what about the temperature of the sand? Sand absorbed heat. At this temperature, they could almost be cooked. Not to mention growing, even if it was desert greening, they would have to pick a place similar to an oasis where the death rate was over 90%. It wasn't that easy.
"One step at a time." Bai Xiaobei also knew that under such high temperatures, even eggs would be cooked.
At the very least, he could turn the outer parts of the desert into paddy fields, and at that time, he could plant a large number of Iron Maple Ancient Tree. This kind of tree would have a strong heat absorption effect, enough to control the temperature.
Right now, they still had to test out the planting in the desert area. The Iron Maple Ancient Tree was the most crucial part of the planting process.
"Brother, I want to go too!" Yang Shitou and his family were moved to the Cyan Rock Village. After all, Bai Xiaobei was worried that some people would take the risk and bring along the cow, so the Calf went to the Posterior Mountain garden to steal food.
"You're at home. For the past two days, Jinx has been playing with her." Jinx and the others would be coming over for some activities these days. At that time, they would definitely come looking for him.
"Wah, is Jinx coming?" She was immediately overjoyed, and her eyes lit up: "Then I'll wait at home. Oh right, Jinx's birthday is coming up, I want to prepare a present for Jinx!"
Seeing that Yang Shitou had ran off in a hurry, Bai Xiaobei could not help but shake his head.
The group set out on a journey to the Gulbantongt Desert. Since Bai Xiaobei had a private plane, he wouldn't delay them for too long. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time for him to travel by car or by plane.
This time, there were more people accompanying them. After all, if they were to succeed and establish a temporary research facility there, then this matter would be of utmost importance.
"By the way, Xiaobei, what Iron Maple Ancient Tree are you talking about? Can you grow it in the desert? Some desert regions have temperatures that can reach seventy to eighty degrees Celsius. It's as if not even a blade of grass has grown. The temperature of the sand is enough to roast any plant to death. "
The President Su was very concerned about the Afforest Desert tree that Bai Xiaobei mentioned, but because of the Golden Spirit Rice, he did not have the chance to study it. Since he did not have anything to do on the plane, he could not help but ask.
Many people's eyes were focused on Bai Xiaobei.
Bai Xiaobei laughed: "Iron Maple Ancient Tree, also known as the thousand year iron maple tree, it is a very rare giant tree, this type of tree normally grows in dead volcanoes, or even fire volcanoes, or glaciers, in all kinds of bad places, the worse the place, not to mention seventy to eighty degrees, or even over a hundred degrees, it will only become its nutrients, it won't even work if I used fire it would at most scorch the skin a little black, but after a few hours it will recover. This kind of tree is a tree that changes the bad soil, and after it becomes a tree, its bark will fall out and its leaves will merge with the earth, so in the desert, this type of tree is the most suitable for use."
"This tree..." Does it exist? " A researcher could not help but ask. This was like a joke. Was there such a tree?
"I am a botanist, so it can be said that I have seen many plants before, but I have heard of the one you mentioned before. Mr. Bai, do you mean that this kind of tree can be grown on a large scale? Are there many of these trees? "
According to what Bai Xiaobei said, didn't that mean that there were a lot of these trees? Otherwise, it would be impossible to use Afforest Desert.
"A mature tree can have thousands of fruits a year, and its seeds can collect tens of thousands of seeds. I have planted a batch, and if nothing goes wrong, I can use it for the next two years. However, I'm afraid that it will take decades to completely cover the desert."
could not come here every day to catalyze the Iron Maple Ancient Tree, at most he could produce a batch of them. In the future, it would all depend on himself.
Furthermore, what the desert needed was the cultivation of Golden Spirit Rice s. This was a product that could be grown on a large scale.
