,

spn's roaring helicopter finally landed on the tarmac of the Desert Research Center. Zhang Shusheng and He Ning stepped out of the helicopter.

"Be careful, it's really hot here, even hotter than at the airport!"

He Ning, who was wearing a sun hat, was slightly surprised.

"Don't blame me for asking you to put on sunscreen. This place is not very hot. I won't let you come. You have to come and see the strangeness, haha."

Although He Ning's physique is also different from ordinary people, she still felt the power of the heat wave in this vast desert. When she was transferring to the helicopter at the military airport, Zhang Shusheng specially asked her to apply a special sunscreen, which was particularly effective.

, but the only way to fight the heat wave is to rely on her tropical shorts.[

Zhang Shusheng reached out to help her and got off the helicopter.

"salute!"

"Welcome Chairman and Madam!" the people from the research institute and the garrison company who were already waiting outside the tarmac shouted in unison.

Zhang Shusheng is wearing casual clothes. For him, a heat wave of this degree is nothing to worry about. He doesn't need to worry about it at all. It's around 11 o'clock in the morning, and it's not the afternoon when the sun is most exposed. The heat wave in the air is already

It started to attack people.

"Thanks everyone for your hard work, let's go and talk inside the house."

After looking around the entire base, it was similar to what was seen in the photos. The structure was very simple. Zhang Shusheng and He Ning looked at the scientific research base in the desert as they walked.

The walls of the entire base alone are five stories high, and there are anti-sand walls around the base. Otherwise, even if the base is technically only on the outskirts of the Taklimakan Desert, there is still the risk of being engulfed by quicksand.

In addition to various strange crops growing on desert experimental fields, there are also some glass greenhouses and several three-story buildings in the base.

Perhaps because he saw the chairman's wife looking at those buildings, Liang Huaran started to introduce, "Chairman, madam, you should have seen it on the helicopter just now. The entire research center is divided into the periphery and the base. The outermost periphery is a sand-proof wall and

There are some third-level experimental fields. In addition to the desert experimental fields, there are only a few small buildings in the base. We also dug a large space underground, which is mainly used for living and scientific research."

"No wonder, it's really too hot here." He Ning said with a smile. These scientific researchers want to conduct scientific research in a place where the ground temperature can reach 60 or 70 degrees when the highest temperature is reached. If they don't build an underground base, it will really cost their lives.

"Yes, madam. When the temperature is too high, we usually hide in the underground base and continue working, so as not to delay the progress. Today's time is a little late and it will be a high temperature period soon. Let's go back underground first."

The group of people soon arrived underground. The underground space is larger than the ground. Thanks to the efforts of the army back then, which built this base under very difficult conditions, today's desert research center is here. The underground base is mainly a living area.

, leisure and entertainment area, scientific research area, security area, although the entire research center is not particularly crowded, the functions of the base are complete.

Zhang Shusheng decided to build this research center at that time. He thought that the problem of desert research was long-term, so he ordered the high-standard construction.

〖China〗The problem of desertification in China and even the entire earth has always troubled him. When he planned...

In the great grand plan of the future, the great China will not only not control the population, but also encourage births to the greatest extent. Under such circumstances, at least before space exploration can be carried out, there will be many problems in the living space of mankind.

But if a series of harsh land problems such as deserts, deserts, wastelands, and Gobi can be initially solved with a few decades of advance time, then humans will have more living space in the earth era.

It would definitely be impossible to solve this problem with another person, but he is different.

The dream machine from the unknown civilization in the universe contains a lot of cases of planet transformation, and even more information records about several planets in the universe. There are countless environmental solutions to harsh geological conditions in the dream machine.

The plant species recorded in it that can be used in simple desert and barren geological conditions like the earth are as vast as the stars.

But after all, it is used for the transformation of the earth. Tens of millions of kilometers of deserts around the world account for about one-fifth of the earth's area. Other wastelands and harsh areas abound. When it comes to the earth, more than two-thirds of it is water.

Excluding harsh areas such as deserts and wastelands, there is very little real space for human survival.[

After all, the earth is not a green planet covered with vegetation at all. In the database, Zhang Shusheng saw that some planets have conditions that are ten or a hundred times worse than the earth, but in the end they are able to achieve extremely large areas of vegetation coverage.

The earth today is far less environmentally harsh than it will be a few decades ago, and it is the best time for transformation before the rapid development of science and technology.

In establishing the research institute, Zhang Shusheng wanted to localize the exchanged seeds on the earth, and then sow them. These things are simple to say, and even regarding a series of issues such as species conflicts, genes, etc., the Dream Machine can provide answers

A complete information on how to solve technical problems can be published, and even before redemption, these seeds can be "specially customized" and basically meet the conditions of the earth. But to be 100% used in practice, scientists still need to work.

After drinking tea in the underground base for a while and taking a brief rest, it was still early for lunch. Zhang Shusheng took He Ning and the scientific researchers to visit the underground base. First they briefly looked at other places in the base, and finally came to the experiment

district.

After changing into bacterial suits, the group entered the plant greenhouse in the underground experimental area with artificial lights on.

"Hey, the dune fruits are almost ripe."

Zhang Shusheng saw the few dune fruits at the entrance of the plant greenhouse at a glance. According to the data, this kind of dune fruit has been popular in two large galaxies. In a universe where humans are the main intelligent creatures, dune fruits can not only

It provides high nutrition and can also be used as the primary component of a high-tech biological preparation.

According to Zhang Bing, the kid from Dream Machine, this dune fruit is still one of the main cash crops in that poor star field that lacks minerals.

To put it simply, this is a kind of raw material grown by lower civilizations and sold to intermediate civilizations. It can be eaten, can be deeply processed, and can even be used as raw materials for interstellar foreign trade.

However, cruelty abounds among interstellar and civilizations. Often, a spaceship filled with dune fruits can only be exchanged for one-tenth of the equivalent value of industrialized products of a higher-level technological civilization.

However, once it is planted on a large scale in the future, Zhang Shusheng, who has mastered the deep processing technology, will not let those stupid interstellar dealers cheat him. He can grow it himself, extract it, and increase the processing value by hundreds of times.

But now, at least in the past ten years, dune berries can only be regarded as a desert cash crop slightly more advanced than walnuts.

"This kind of dune fruit is very similar to an enlarged walnut fruit, but the skin is cracked. Will the fruit go bad?" He Ning stood in front of the dune fruit, listening to Liang Huaran's introduction, and couldn't help but become curious.

"Madam, the peel of this dune fruit is very unique. It will instinctively adapt to the ambient temperature. If the temperature is too low or too high, it will tightly wrap the real fruit in the middle. The layers are tightly wrapped and have a strong

"Thermal insulation effect." Liang Huaran pointed to the large cabinet containing sand dune fruits and said

He said, "The cabinet is dug more than five meters into the ground, and it is full of roots. When it grows in the desert, it can sink its roots into the ground more than ten meters deep or even deeper to absorb water. This

The depth is enough to cope with the dryness and lack of water on the surface in the desert."

"I never thought that plants could evolve to such a high level in order to adapt to survival." He Ning said with a smile. In fact, Zhang Shusheng told her before coming here that these plants came from other cosmic civilizations, but neither He Ning nor Lu Yunyan took it seriously.

What happened was that Zhang Shusheng had already confessed about the existence of cosmic civilization. The two women only occasionally asked about the starry sky, but not much else. She was very curious when she actually saw these plants.

In their view, if their husbands can obtain some high technologies and develop civilization, they are the pioneers of civilization.

What's more, there is no issue of confidentiality in these matters. Even if Zhang Shusheng tells the world that his technology comes from other cosmic civilizations, or tells them that he has discovered a treasure house of civilization buried somewhere, how can others tell him?

How is it?

There is no other way except envy, jealousy and hatred. Unless Zhang Shusheng tells them that he comes from the 21st century, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar today when the theory of time and space has appeared. And obviously, Zhang Shusheng will not tell anyone, even if it is

The closest person, this secret is equally important, but not telling it is the biggest secret.

"Yes, madam, our research over the years has found that not only these seeds, but also according to the committee's scientific and technological information, there are many plants around us that have the potential to be transformed and cultivated, and cactus is one of them. Chairman, madam, please

Look, this is the fairy tree.

We used cactus and a certain plant from Venezuela to cultivate this cactus tree that is more suitable for harsh conditions."

Liang Huaran walked a few steps quickly, pointed to a few fairy trees in the experimental cabinet that were as tall as a person, and said, "In the plan, this fairy tree is to provide drinking water for animals. It has a strong ability to store water in the plant.

The huge root system can penetrate tens of meters deep into the ground. Compared with the fairy

Human palms are larger in size and easier to reproduce. The needles have all evolved into the shape of cactus leaves. Animals can get enough water by eating this leaf palms. However, the cactus only loses part of its leaves.

Just like a cactus, other parts are damaged.”

"This is the path of natural evolution. No matter how harsh the conditions are, there will always be the iron law of survival of the fittest." Zhang Shusheng walked to an experimental cabinet in front, pointed to a moss-like plant inside and said, "The root system of this sand moss is comparable to that of an immortal."

Trees, but they can lay on the sand and fix sand and water. The rock moss next to it is equally powerful. With them, together with several other plants, our first batch of desert transformation plans can be successfully completed."[

"Proceed carefully. In that case, the sand and water in the desert can be accumulated, which will provide the growth conditions for other plants, right?" He Ning asked.

"Yes, once these two species we call sand moss and rock moss die, they will rot in the sand and provide growth conditions for other plants." Zhang Shusheng said with emotion. He was not originally an expert on plants, but with his IQ

, spend some time to at least be called a non-research plant expert.

Then, everyone visited some other taller plants. A noon visit basically visited all the ecological species at multiple spatial levels underground, on the surface, and on the ground. There are about ten species in total. Once all these plants make their home in the desert

, it only takes a short ten years to see initial results.

The lunch was full of base characteristics, including fried rhizomes of a new plant, soup made from sand dune fruits, Xinjiang-style barbecue, hand-picked rice, etc., which both Zhang Shusheng and He Ning could eat.

Very happy.

The sun in the afternoon was too strong and the temperature was too high. Zhang Shusheng did not take He Ning out to visit the experimental field, as well as the peripheral third-level experimental field, which already included several plants such as dune trees and fairy trees. Liang Huaran said

It has basically become a forest. Zhang Shu saw this on a helicopter when he was born. In the entire vast sandbank, a small forest surrounded by a sea of ​​sand appeared next to a base. It was so shocking.

Early the next morning, shortly after dawn and the temperature was still very low, Zhang Shusheng, He Ning and others got up.

First, we had an appetizer breakfast, and we ate some watermelon from the refrigerator around the stove. This was specially provided to the base, and usually everyone would not be willing to eat it.

Then, everyone in thick clothes began to go to the experimental fields to see the real large-scale flora.

During the whole process, He Ning was like a curious baby, asking questions, and Zhang Shusheng happily explained it in person. Finally, everyone came to the third-level experimental forest outside. Compared with the first-level laboratories and greenhouses, the second-level base

The experimental field, the third-level experimental field is the real desert geology and climate conditions.

Looking at the woods surrounded by wind and sand in front of them, despite the extremely harsh geological and climatic conditions, they stubbornly grew into the small woods in front of them. Zhang Shusheng and his party were filled with emotion, and they saw great hope in transforming the earth in the future.

.

Zhang Shusheng said to Liang Huaran sincerely: "Huaran, although we are still at war now, our vision cannot be too narrow. We must not only do a good job in the research on desert artificial forests, but also increase investment. Now we stand here and see

Maybe it's

The desert is a small piece of forest that can be swallowed up by sand dunes at any time. However, ten or twenty years later, when our afforestation plan continues to expand from the outside to the inside, the Taklimakan Desert and even more deserts, deserts, and Gobi are all

will become a jungle.

The place we are standing now may be a home for people to live and work in peace and contentment in a few decades. You are not a soldier, but what you do is just like them, for the future of this nation.
