Chapter 296 Desert Control!

Prince Diur is not only a giant in language, but also a giant in action.

The initiative to seek "green", or the whole country's initiative to seek "green", this is a big event. Not only did Prince Diur speak out at the first time, but he also took a plane to the practical technology company at the first time.

It can be said to be full of sincerity.

"You're really good, just ran over like this."

Seeing Di Youer with an excited face, Li Future said speechlessly.

"No way, dear Li, your super moss and super nutrient solution are too important to the Arab League."

"Although the greenery in the urban area of ​​the Arab League is good, most of the land is still desert, and the greenery in the urban area is useless when there is a sandstorm. Instead, it costs a huge amount of money every year to maintain their state."

"Whether it's resources or experiments, we are willing to take all responsibilities. I only hope that in my lifetime, I can see the lush Arab League instead of yellow sand everywhere."

Di Youer has already talked about this step, what else can Li Weilai say.

engage!
Moreover, super moss and super nutrient solution must be promoted, and now is just an opportunity.

Just like Di Youer said, the urban areas of the major cities in the Arab League have done a good job of greening, but a large area of ​​the country is desert. If there is a sandstorm or a sandstorm, the greening in the urban area is useless at all.

This kind of thing is also the same when it is enlarged to the whole world. If only one country in the stars engages in greening, other countries are indifferent or even wantonly destroy it.

In fact, there are many such situations. The key point is that there is no unified voice in the world.

in case……

Forget it, this matter is not easy to handle, let's talk about it later.

The most important thing now is to be yourself first.

Blacksmith need its own hardware!
Di Youer's coming must not be in vain. Li Future agreed to his request, then took him to the laboratory and introduced him to a more specific process.

Compared with the starry northwestern region where water is extremely scarce, to do experiments, you have to find water sources, and then start from each water source, first create individual oases, and then gradually spread out.

However, there are also many types of starry deserts, such as the Mu Us Desert. Although it was managed in a conventional way, it completely disappeared under unremitting efforts and was replaced by a grassland and shrub ecological environment.

The Kubuqi Desert has also been governed, from the past full of yellow sand to the current sand dunes that no longer move.

After desert control, farmland, grassland, woods, etc. can be formed, which will allow the development of agriculture and animal husbandry.

Fanxing is a populous country, and food security is a very important topic. However, Fanxing's arable land is very limited. How to ensure food security is a problem that everyone needs to face.

For desert governance, turning waste into treasure is one of the answers.

With the successful management experience of Mu Us Sha and Kubuqi Desert, many netizens can't help but think of the desert with the largest stars and the second largest mobile desert in the world - Taklamgan Desert.

Located in the center of the Tarim Basin, the Taklimakan Desert is about 1000 kilometers long from east to west, 400 kilometers wide from north to south, and covers an area of ​​337600 square kilometers, second only to the Sahara Desert in Africa.

If this desert can be managed, then Fanxing's cultivated area will be greatly increased, which is of great significance to increasing Fanxing's food and meat production!
But the question also arises, can the Taklamakan Desert really be wiped out?

Before answering this question, let’s take a look at the governance of the Mu Us Sand and Kubuqi Deserts.

The Kubuqi Desert is next to the Mu Us Desert, and there are some common characteristics, that is, in ancient times, these places were places with lush water and grass. There used to be large forests, grasslands, and some rivers. The people who used to live were also very many.

However, the causes of desertification in these two places are fundamentally different.

For example, the main reason for the formation of the Mu Us Desert is human activities, such as overgrazing and over-cultivation, and soil desertification caused by the alluvial deposits of the Yellow River.

The Kubuqi Desert also has some of these reasons, but it is mainly caused by geography.

Even if there is no human activity in the Kubuqi Desert, it will still turn into a desert after a period of time.

In other words, the Mu Us Desert is actually desertification of the soil, while the Kubuqi Desert is the real desert.

Under such different circumstances, the strategies adopted to govern the two deserts are also different.

Among them, the Mu Us Desert can be afforested, and the vegetation can retain the local rainfall and slowly restore the local soil environment.

The control rate of the desert here reaches 70% even if the control is successful. If the control rate is too high, the root system of the vegetation will absorb water from the depths of the desert and evaporate it into the air through the leaves, resulting in soil erosion.

The Kubuqi Desert itself has very little rainfall and cannot support much vegetation growth. Therefore, the degree of governance of the Kubuqi Desert cannot reach 70%, otherwise the vegetation will not only fail to survive, but will also aggravate the local drought.

To deal with real deserts like Kubuqi, what needs to be managed is not to eliminate them all, but to build windbreak and sand-fixing forests on the edge of the desert.

And planting vegetation with drought tolerance and low transpiration to fix the flowing sand dunes, so that sandstorms will no longer occur in the desert, this is considered a successful governance.

On the earth, there are many deserts formed by natural factors like the Kubuqi Desert. For example, at about 30° north and south latitudes, subtropical high pressure belts prevail.

It is hot and rainless all year round, and it is difficult to produce rainfall even if it is close to the ocean. As a result, the water here is continuously evaporated, forming a desert.

For example, the most famous Sahara Desert.

Forcibly planting trees in these places will not only make it difficult for the trees to survive, but may cause the trees to absorb water from the depths of the desert and then transpire into the air, making the place even more arid.

The Taklimakan Desert is different from these two deserts that have been governed.

To control the desert, water is inseparable, because the growth of vegetation requires a lot of water.

There is very little precipitation in the Mu Us Sand and Kubuqi Desert areas, but at any rate they still maintain an annual precipitation of 400ml to 600ml, which has laid a good foundation for governance.

But the Taklamakan Desert is different. It is located in the starry northwest. Due to the high terrain and the Himalayas blocking the warm and humid air from the ocean, the annual precipitation in the Taklimakan Desert is less than 100 milliliters, while the annual evaporation can reach 2500 milliliters. .

In such an environment, how to govern is difficult.

Some people propose to extract groundwater to control deserts. In fact, this method is extremely undesirable, and it is a way to quench thirst by drinking poison.

The groundwater resources in the desert are non-renewable resources. Once extracted, the groundwater level will drop, which will lead to more severe drought on the surface and further expand the desert area.

Deserts like this created due to geographical and climatic reasons cannot be wiped out by human power, but it does not mean that human beings are powerless to it.

The main disaster in the desert is that the desert gradually erodes the land, causing "sand to flow in and people to retreat", and "sandstorms" are easy to form in the desert, which affects the safety of people around and the air quality.

In order to minimize the impact of the desert on human activities, people can build windbreaks and sand-fixing forests on the edge of the desert to prevent the desert from moving forward.

If desert roads must be built due to traffic reasons, moving quicksand can easily submerge the road, so in order to protect the road from being submerged, windbreak forests can be built on both sides of the road to filter the wind and sand.

Compared with afforesting the entire desert, the windbreak forests built on both sides of the road have a limited area and a limited demand for water, which can protect the road at a minimum cost.

In fact, deserts that cannot be eliminated are also a resource. There is abundant light and heat, high intensity of sunlight throughout the year, and few dark clouds to cover them, which is very suitable for the development of the photovoltaic industry.

In addition, the wind energy in the desert can also be utilized, and energy such as wind power generation can also provide clean energy for people in the surrounding areas, and it can also allow us to get rid of the use of traditional coal energy.

The right way is to respect nature and scientifically control desertification according to local conditions.

In most cases, sand control is not to eliminate deserts and sandstorms, but to control man-made desertified land.

Afforestation and desertification control must be scientific, and we can focus on artificial afforestation in areas with good water resources and along roads.

In desertification control, we must pay attention to science and not act recklessly. Where to control, how to control, and what tree species to use must be scientifically demonstrated and carefully studied.

Only by persisting in green development, respecting nature, and scientific governance can we gradually change the appearance of sandy areas.

These theories are all ready-made. With super moss and super nutrient solution, it is just more convenient to make, and the cost is also lower.

Of course, the function is also stronger.

Where there is little water, it is definitely not possible to do whatever you want, but the place in the League of Arab States is almost equivalent to being by the sea, where there is plenty of water.

Although it is all sea water and cannot be drunk directly, it is not a problem for super moss.

Sea rice is available, and super moss goes a step further.

Of course, the functions of super moss and sea rice overlap somewhat.

The starry saline-alkali land is very large, and it is difficult for ordinary food plants such as rice and wheat to grow in these saline-alkali lands.

In addition, the tidal flats will be covered and submerged by a large amount of sea water, and most of them are in a state of desertion except for some mangroves.

The research and development of seawater rice can make full use of saline-alkali land and ocean tidal flats to solve the food problem.

Seawater rice has the ability to resist salt-alkali and waterlogging, can resist the damage of saline-alkali land and tidal flats, and can grow normally and bear fruit.

It can even grow up to two meters high and has the ability to resist lodging.

In tidal flats, even though the sea water will completely submerge the rice, leaving only the looming leaf tips, it will still grow delicately after the tide ebbs.

The cultivation of seawater rice not only uses tidal flats to produce food, but also prevents wind and waves, promotes siltation and protection of beaches, strengthens banks and embankments, and purifies seawater and air. It has the same ecological and social value as mangroves.

Its root system is 30 to 40 cm deep, which can effectively retain sand from land, reduce the sand content in coastal waters, and increase soil organic matter.

In addition, in the production process of sea rice, no chemical fertilizers or spraying of pesticides can be used to grow well and produce organic green food.

Seawater rice has the ability to resist waterlogging, saline-alkali, lodging, and pests. In order to obtain better varieties, seawater rice can be crossed with ordinary high-yield rice to obtain better varieties, which can not only obtain high yield, but also can be used in saline-alkaline land. Wait to grow.

This will not only increase the yield, but also make better use of the abandoned land.

But no matter how high the yield is, because of the place where it is planted and its attributes, it is destined to not have as high yield as ordinary rice.

Super moss cannot produce food, but it has other functions.

One of the biggest features is that it can improve soil quality and turn unsuitable places into suitable places for cultivation.

When the soil quality is improved, not only can the environment be greened, but also higher-yield food crops or high-profit economic crops can be planted.

And if you plant super moss on the beach, you don't have to worry about watering, it can absorb the water in the sand by itself.

Even sea water.

After Li Future's detailed introduction, Prince Diur knew more about this matter and became more excited.

This is what he wants!
"Hurry up and start, I can't wait, and the Arab League can't wait!"

Dyer said excitedly.

"Of course!"

The outside world is also in an uproar about the cooperation between the Ecological Technology Research Institute of the Practical Technology Group and the Arab League for greening.

But after thinking about it, I think it makes sense.

The situation of the Arab League is indeed quite special. The natural environment is not very good, but the resource environment is very good. The desert is full of money.

When you have no money, you naturally feel nothing. It’s nothing more than watching wild camels bark their teeth, but if you have money and still live in this kind of place, it must be unbearable.

But no matter how rich it is, it is not as "rich" as nature. After all, its oil is mined in nature, and it must not be as good as nature.

So much money is spent, but the effect of greening is minimal.

And the emergence of super moss and super nutrient solution told everyone that as long as the technology is strong enough, nature... can also be touched.

Soon, people knew how much the Arab League wanted to be green, and they also saw with their own eyes what it means to become green overnight.

When the first cycle of the dead lake was about to pass and the super mosses began to wither, the Arab Alliance and Practical Technology launched a super mission.

Thousands of planes have been flying between Fanxing and the Arab League, and then people can see a touch of green extending from the east coast of the Arab League to the west coast.

In just a few days, 20% of the land of the Arab League has been greened.

In the past, when viewed from space, the League of Nations was a pure desert color. Although there was a lot of greenery in the city, that kind of exquisite greenery was simply not visible from space.

But now, even if you look at it from space, you can see that the Arab League has an extra green coastline.

That green is like a yellow cream cake covered with a matcha hat, it's really capped.

And what was even more speechless was the "green offensive" of the Freedom Federation. It had just started to pick up, and finally Fanxing took out the real "green offensive".

In an instant, the face of the Freedom Federation was photographed.
