Imagine the world

Chapter 015

The situation of Mission [-] has not changed, its content is "escort Dr. Rochard to leave safely", and what progress bar shows, it seems that only two results are completed or not completed.The reward was a villa on the southern coast of Fesuogang, and Huazhenhang didn't know how this villa would be rewarded to him.

Hua Zhenxing is not greedy for money. If there is no such system, he will still save Dr. Luo, and with this system, he will not reject these rewards.Of course, all things are good things, it depends on how they come from and how they are used.And he is more interested in another question, that is, how the reward will appear after the task is completed.

The next day, the two packed up and continued to set off.Hua Zhenxing judged that they should be basically safe, so he did not let Rochard continue to lead the way, and instead led the way.Walking through the black desert prairie under the rising sun, the cool wind blew away a little tiredness. There were groups of springbok drinking water in the distance, but Huazhenxing deliberately avoided places with water sources.

In the early morning, many animals will go to drink water, and in the dry season, the competition for water sources is also fierce. It is very dangerous to drink water. The scene of hunting will be staged at any time, and the spirits of the animals are also highly nervous.Huazhenhang did not want to scare these wild animals, although not afraid, but also did not want to attack unprovoked.

There are two rainy seasons in the grasslands of Jiliguo, the heavy rainy season in late spring and the light rainy season in late autumn. The current season is the driest time of the year before the heavy rainy season.Only the low-lying areas on the grasslands are still standing with water, and many rivers have turned into intermittent puddles, pools and long and narrow lakes.

Why hasn't such a large area of ​​wilderness been cultivated since ancient times?Mr. Mo talked about this issue. There are two factors, climate and people. The most important thing is the lack of accumulation of farming civilization.The precipitation here is concentrated, there are almost no farmland water conservancy projects, there is no mature irrigation system, and the wasteland is not fertile soil that has been intensively cultivated for many years.

Those who don't know how to farm are really not know how to farm. They need to be taught from a young age, or learn from others, and it will take at least a generation to cultivate them.Land that is not suitable for cultivation is really not suitable for cultivation. After reclamation, it takes several generations of intensive cultivation to become mature fields.

As for the water conservancy irrigation system and farming technology, it is not a simple matter in human history. It takes thousands of years of exploration to form scale and tradition.

Before the arrival of overseas colonists, the local community still maintained a primitive tribal society, and people lived by gathering and hunting.The colonists directly established cities and introduced a modern industrialized social civilization system, but they did not and have no intention to carry out large-scale construction and transformation of farmland water conservancy systems and infrastructure.

There are industrial and service facilities in and around the city, as well as plantations and farmland in the suburbs, but they are all developed in local areas where conditions permit. If you look at the entire territory of the country, it will look like a piece of skin. Ringworm spots.

This reminds Huazhenxing of the Dashanghai in the old society of the East.

In fact, the port of Fesso was once very prosperous. It was later destroyed by the social tear caused by various reasons, and now it is slowly rebuilding.But even if we go back to the beginning, it seems that nothing has changed, and today's Dongguo is completely different.

Why does Hua Zhenxing have such an association, because the overseas country he is most interested in is Dongguo, he has studied the history of Dongguo carefully, and has read a lot of graphic materials.

Many Jili people who live in the countryside usually also farm the land, but the way they farm the land will make a Dongguo person stunned, that is, when the rainy season comes, the seeds are scattered on the wilderness, and they are harvested when they are mature.No ploughing, no irrigation, no hoeing, the harvest of wild plants depends on God’s face, and the yield can be imagined, and many crops cannot be grown in this way.

One of the most common crops in the area is cassava, which is milled and dried into powder, and then steamed and detoxified to be used as food rations.Wild species are harvested, and wild animals such as warthogs also love to eat them.

In addition, the products on the wasteland can not be said to be rich. For example, the fruit of the baobab tree can also satisfy hunger, and there are many things to eat... But that's all, it is impossible to expect how clever they are in agriculture and food. Processing technology, not to mention the art of gourmet cooking.

Mr. Mo once walked the vast wasteland in the northern part of the country. He believed that this place could be completely developed and transformed. He even pointed out how to build water conservancy projects and irrigation systems, and in which areas to develop them without affecting the overall ecology. Modern agriculture and processing can ultimately improve the environment and climate of the entire region.

Although Mo Shangtong has such an investigation conclusion, it is impossible to realize such a blueprint. This wasteland is neither his nor the straw shoe upper. Even with the current straw shoe upper, it is impossible to complete such a task.Hua Zhenxing once asked Uncle Mo how to do it. At that time, Mr. Ke, who was next to him, inserted a sentence: "If there are enough materials and utensils, [-] Dongguo Chinese people are enough."

This may not be bragging. Feiso Port now has a construction aid project from Dongguo, and their work efficiency and construction ability are beyond the reach of the locals.If the local people do the same project by themselves, I am afraid that it will not be done for decades, and it will only take a year and a half to reach the Dongguo Construction Engineering Group.

The workload of these Dongguo workers is already huge in the eyes of the locals, but they still have time to farm. They have opened up a lot of vegetable fields in and around the station. There are all kinds of vegetables, and they are growing so well.Old man Yang is a greedy guy. He urges Hua Zhenxing to buy all kinds of fresh vegetables that cannot be eaten locally.

How much can Xiao Hua and Old Man Yang usually eat? Lao Lei, the person in charge of the construction site, and the workers are all familiar with Hua Zhenxing, and they are basically given to him for nothing.Old man Yang didn't want it for nothing, and asked Huazhenhang to bring some tobacco and alcohol from Dongguan every time.

Many workers there never planted land when they were in Dongguo.Also raised chickens can lay eggs every day!After making a plate of fried red peppers with eggs, Huazhenxing asked old man Yang.

Old man Yang told him that this is because the basic quality and growth environment are different, in short, the people are different.Where do people come from, just like those vegetables, they are all grown from the land of society.

Those workers who aided in construction have not only received legal compulsory education in Dongguo, but also at least have a high school degree. The basic education in Dongguo is very solid.They have learned collective management and labor cooperation, and since childhood, they know that no matter what they get, they need diligence and wisdom. They grew up in such a cultural environment, and they are neither lazy nor stupid.

The so-called stupid or not is not necessarily the innate IQ, the more important is the way of thinking passed down from generation to generation; the so-called lazy or not, the most important thing is the corresponding behavior.Although they have never planted vegetables, as long as someone teaches or finds teaching materials, they can start to grow vegetables, and the more they can grow, the better.

Seeing that Hua Zhenxing was still blinking, the old man Yang suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen anyone here dig a well?"

Hua Zhenxing knew what a well is, but he had never seen the real thing. After learning the Dongguo character, he was very puzzled, and asked old man Yang for a long time, trying to figure out what it was.Later, he learned to surf the Internet by himself, and checked a lot of pictures and video materials, which was regarded as an insight.

Of course, the port of Fesso was built in a place with water sources, otherwise it would not have developed into such a big city.But lack of clean drinking water is a problem for most of the country's population, at least according to every relevant UN report.

In fact, the annual average rainfall in the country is not very low, but the problem is that the rainy season is relatively concentrated, and the drought period is very long, and there is an extreme lack of water conservancy projects here.

The central area of ​​the port of Fesso has running water, and the water supply system was destroyed and then rebuilt.But with the expansion of the city, many neighborhoods now have no running water. They are used to using jars or buckets to fetch water at a fixed location every day. Many people also put various utensils on their heads.

People living in the countryside basically go to the rivers to fetch water on weekdays. If the stream stops in the dry season, they will fetch water from low-lying pools, and they will be used for drinking after they are left to settle.This is actually very unsanitary, and various charitable relief organizations often distribute water purification tablets to local people.But no one digs wells locally. If it was in Dongguo, there used to be more than one well in almost every village.

Hearing this question, Hua Zhenxing was stunned before answering: "I've never seen it before, they don't know how to dig wells at all."

Old man Yang took a bite of the dish, put down his chopsticks and said, "That's right, no one is born to dig a well! It's so troublesome to dig a well, it takes a lot of people to work together for a long time, it's dirty and tiring, It's dangerous, but it's not always possible to get out of the water. If you have time, you'll have to go to the river to get the water, and then you can go and have some fun, right?"

Hua Zhenxing was amused, and nodded again and again: "Mr. Yang is too vivid, the local people are indeed like this, they really think so."

Old man Yang: "The enlightenment of civilization is first of all a leap of thought. With conscious awareness, people can overcome their instincts and make correct choices. Many correct things go against human instinct, such as sowing in spring, which cannot make people immediately It is a sensible choice to be satisfied, and to wait until autumn to harvest.

There is an idiom in Dongyu called foresight. This is the case when drilling wells and growing vegetables. It is not out of desire and impulse at that time.Dongguo crossed this stage thousands of years ago, completed civilization enlightenment and ideological transition, and then continued to inherit it to this day.

But here, from the suburbs to the urban area, the primitive tribes directly encountered modern industry and colonial capital, and it was too late to perfect the process. They either directly drank tap water or went to the river to fetch water. No one could dig wells and did not want to learn. Well... Now you understand? "

Hua Zhenxing: "I seem to understand a bit."

Old man Yang: "You are still young, and one day you will fully understand."

Huazhenhang was indeed still a little ignorant, and later he heard more stories about various dishes from Chief Engineer Lei.Chief Engineer Lei has visited more than one country in the Black Desolate Continent, and of course he has also assisted in the construction of more than one project.The last project was not in the port of Fesuo. They have been working on it for almost two years, and they have also built a lot of vegetable fields in the station, which amazes the locals.

After the project was completed, the workers all evacuated, and the locals took these vegetable gardens as if they were treasures... A few months ago, there was some maintenance work, and Mr. Lei took a look at the previous construction site, and the vegetable garden became a wasteland again. .

Although Dongguo's aid workers are very good at growing vegetables, they are only opening small-scale vegetable gardens near the station, which is far from solving the problem of this wasteland.When Hua Zhenxing saw the prairie in the dry season, he inexplicably remembered how the local people farmed the land, and the conclusion of Uncle Mo's investigation that year, and also the story of planting vegetables and digging wells... His thoughts diverged widely.

He suddenly had another association, would the "Xuanxiangguo System" that suddenly appeared in the future give him a task to transform this wasteland like the blueprint drawn by Uncle Mo?If there is such a task, according to Ke Fuzi, there must be [-] Eastern Chinese, and there must be sufficient equipment and materials. How can this be accomplished?

Since the appearance of the inexplicable "system", Huazhenxing's ideas have become very lively.At this moment, Rochard shouted from behind him, "Hua, let's take a break. I'm really tired from walking. It's hot and I've run out of water."

Chapter 016 Do You Want to Learn?

When I left the car and walked yesterday, Huazhenxing asked Rochard to bring a five-liter bucket of mineral water, which has been drunk by now.Walking through the prairie with a heavy load consumes a lot of water unconsciously.

Hua Zhenxing reached out and touched the air: "Fortunately, the temperature is not too high, about 24 degrees."

Rochard: "Can you feel so accurate?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I can't be too sure, because there is wind, the temperature is constantly changing, and it fluctuates around 24 degrees Celsius."

It's a bit like bragging, even a myth.Rochard deliberately made things difficult for him: "What's the wind speed?"

Hua Zhenxing's hand stretched out and moved slightly in the air: "Are you talking about the current maximum wind speed? About three meters per second, which is equivalent to secondary wind."

This can also be touched. Could it be that his finger is a multi-function probe plus a sensor?Rochard simply asked, "What about air humidity?"

Hua Zhenxing pointed to his nose and said: "At this altitude, the relative humidity of the air today is between 20.00%30.00 and 30.00%. When we set off in the morning, it was about 20.00%, and now it is about [-]%[-]."

Rochard was skeptical, in another situation or in a different person, he would definitely think that the other party was talking nonsense, but there were too many magical things discovered in Hua Zhenxing, and he did not dare not believe it completely.

"How do you feel it? For example, the temperature, people can only feel the difference from the body temperature, how can there be a specific value?"

"The measurement method determines the value. The value is originally set by people. You can feel different temperatures, and then you can compare it with a thermometer. You can know it without a thermometer. It's that simple."

"Is it easy?"

"Oh, it's not easy, it needs training... Let's go find water first and follow me."

In the vast grassland in the dry season, Hua Zhenxing observed the terrain, and after walking with Rochard for ten minutes, he found a low-lying puddle.The surrounding is dry and cracked bare soil, the middle is moist swampy silt, and the innermost is the water body, which looks turbid, but there is always water.

Hua Zhenxing glanced at it but dragged Rochard away.Rochard wondered, "Aren't we fetching water?"

Hua Zhenxing: "There are several big crocodiles lying there. Forget it, change the place."

Rochard hurriedly followed, turning around as he walked, but he couldn't see the crocodile hiding in the puddle.Where are they and how did Xiaohua find them?

Not too far ahead, there was another puddle. The area was much smaller than the previous one, and there was not much silt around, but the water looked more muddy and dirty.Hua Zhenxing nodded and said, "It's ok here, I'll fetch water."

Rochard handed over the empty bucket and said, "Use this?"

Hua Zhenxing shook his head: "No, don't get it dirty." He took off his backpack and took out a circular piece of cloth, which was the seat cushion he used last night when he was resting. When he walked to the puddle, he actually played a football-sized pocket. water.

It turned out that the edge of the cloth was pierced with a loop of string, and three small holes were left symmetrically so that the string could be lifted out, so that it became a pocket that could hold things, and was sealed and waterproof.Hua Zhenxing carried a bag of water and said: "Let's find a place to rest first, the temperature is still rising, don't rush on the road at the hottest time at noon."

There are also many trees on the grassland. After finding a safe shade, Hua Zhenxing hung his pocket on the branch and asked Rochard to collect dead branches, while he chopped down several branches of different lengths and thicknesses.Rochard was already thirsty, and sweating again, looked at the pocket and said, "You can't drink this water directly, have you brought water purification tablets?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Bring it, boil it first and then put it away."

What to bring to boil water, the two did not bring a pot.After clearing the surrounding weeds and lighting a bonfire, Hua Zhenxing directly hung the pocket on the fire with a branch, and actually boiled the water just like that.Rochard stretched his head and said, "What material is this cloth made of?"

Hua Zhenxing replied casually: "The latest high-tech materials, limited edition handmade." He didn't realize that "high-tech" and "handmade" are strange together. In fact, he himself does not know what material the cloth is made of. , Anyway, it was given by Uncle Mo.

Rochard didn't follow up, because he had long been confused.After the water is boiled and cooled, put the water purification tablet, let it settle for a while, and slowly pour the clean water from the upper layer into the bucket, which happens to be full again.The remaining small half pockets of water with impurities were emptied, and the cloth was shaken and put away. The two took out the dry food and had lunch. The hottest day had passed, and they continued on their way.

Hua Zhenxing put away the barrel of the gun with the bayonet, processed two long sticks, sharpened one end and hardened it with a bonfire, and leaned on one with Rochard.Only then did Rochard realize that he was a little stupid. Why didn't he think of finding a stick to lean on?

When it was time to camp before dark, Rochard took off his shoes and his calf was a little swollen. He sat on a spit and asked, "Hua, how far have we gone today, and how far are we?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I walked less than 30 kilometers today, and there are still more than [-] kilometers left. Persevere, if you can maintain today's speed tomorrow, you will be able to reach the airport before dinner."

Rochard gritted his teeth secretly, it seems that he can only fight tomorrow, and he can't let a child look down on him.Both of them were carrying bags, but Hua Zhenxing's backpack was obviously much larger and heavier, but it looked much more relaxed at the moment. He couldn't help but ask again, "Hua, why is your physical strength so good?"

Hua Zhenxing asked rhetorically, "Is this all right?"

Rochard: "Of course it's very good! I have loved sports since I was a child, and I signed up for many classes. I was a member of the intramural football club from middle school to college. After work, I also insisted on fitness. It was only abandoned for a while, but when I came After Fesuogang, I started to practice long-distance running again, and my physique is much better than the average person. But today, if you hadn't led the way, I wouldn't have been able to persist."

Hua Zhenxing: "Where is this! Old man Yang told me that the Red Army of the Eastern Kingdom back then marched 120 kilometers in full gear in a day and night in order to seize a chain bridge by flying."

This is indeed what Old Man Yang said last year.Old man Yang took Huazhenxing on many "field expeditions". At that time, he went through the prairie from Fesuo port to the neighboring city of Miri. After breakfast on the first day, he set off after breakfast, camped overnight, and arrived at dinner the next day. .

The 150-kilometer walking distance was covered in two days. Although Huazhenxing was very tiring, I felt great about myself.In the end, old man Yang told him not to be complacent, but he was still far from it, and he cited the example of the Eastern Red Army flying to seize the chain bridge.

Rochard frowned upon hearing this. Is it appropriate for the owner of the grocery store, Yang, to use such an example to fool the child?He shook his head and said, "That's a professional soldier carrying out a battle order. Although it's an armed march, it should be light. It won't carry so many things like you do."

Hua Zhenxing: "At least bring weapons and ammunition and carry-on rations, which are similar to ours now. Old man Yang also told me that there was a major earthquake in Dongguo more than ten years ago, and all roads in the mountainous area were cut off. In a 21-hour march of [-] kilometers on foot, what they walked was not on flat ground, but over mountains and mountains in the rain.”

Rochard: "That's just what you heard, I don't believe it."

Hua Zhenxing: "I checked it, it's not difficult to check."

Rochard: "I'm afraid there won't be such an army on this planet, or maybe someone has given them an order to complete a mission. It's a matter of life and death."

Hua Zhenxing asked again: "Then isn't your life and death at stake now? Don't forget that you are being hunted down!"

Rochard: "I can't do it."

Hua Zhenxing pouted: "You are not a soldier of the Eastern Kingdom!"

Rochard was choked to death.After dark, Rochard crawled into the tent to rest as he had done yesterday.Huazhenxing kept vigil at night, the circular piece of cloth was still used as a cushion, and he sat upright.

He is both cultivating and using the technique of nourishing the soul to keep himself in a very awake and very relaxed state, and can detect the very subtle movements around him.Feeling stimuli without making a conscious response, everything seems to be a trace of nature. It sounds simple, but it is impossible to do without special training.

Hua Zhenxing turned his back to the tent and closed his eyes slightly, even knowing what Rochard was doing.Dr. Luo didn't sleep at first, lightly took out his mobile phone, turned on the power, and checked the contents of his backpack with a flashlight.There were quite a few papers in his backpack, most of which were supposed to be documents, in folders like rigid plastic, and some small tubes of liquid and plastic bottles.

Hua Zhenxing did not see, nor could it be said that he heard completely. It was like a feeling that combined all the senses.Although he could feel it, he didn't think about it. Everything was like a natural reflection.As for the contents of those documents, what kind of liquid they were, and how they were packaged, of course Hua Zhenxing didn't know, he didn't have that ability yet.

Five minutes later, Rothschild fell asleep, and soon there was a snoring sound... About an hour and a half later, he woke up.This made Hua Zhenxing feel a little surprised, and this surprise was a movement. He got out of the state just now, but he still closed his eyes and sat upright as if resting his mind.

He walked nearly [-] kilometers during the day, and he was able to wake up even when he was so tired, and it happened to be before the agreed shift change time. This shows that Rochard's self-control ability is actually very strong, and not only self-control, it should be Before falling asleep, I gave myself sufficient hints about when to wake up, and it is impossible for ordinary people to do it.

Rochard stepped out of the tent and sat down, lighting a cigarette, his last.Hua Zhenxing opened his eyes and said, "Why did you wake up by yourself? I'm going to call you later."

Rochard smiled slightly: "This is a psychological technique. I told myself that I would wake up at this time... Are you interested, do you want to learn it?"

Hua Zhenxing also smiled: "If you want to teach me, of course I am interested. But I will do the same. Did you wake me up last night when I changed shifts?"

Rochad thought for a moment that when it was Huazhenxing's turn to change shifts yesterday, Huazhenxing also woke up by himself, as if he didn't need to teach these skills again.He thought for a while, not knowing what he was thinking about, then raised his head and said, "Hua, your feeling is very sharp, even extraordinary. I didn't hear anything at all at noon yesterday, but you already noticed that a car was chasing behind you.

At noon today, you can measure the temperature, wind speed and even the humidity of the air with your hands.And that puddle, no matter how I looked, I didn't find a crocodile, but you're pretty sure there is.Are these abilities acquired through training, and can others receive the same training? "

Hua Zhenxing smiled: "You only need to be able to observe those crocodiles. As for other things, it is indeed an ability acquired through training."

Rochard turned his body sideways and said, "What training method?"

Hua Zhenxing: "It's called Yang Yuan Technique, do you want to learn it?"

Rochard: "I want to learn now!"

Hua Zhenxing: "You have to tell me first, who is it and why did you ask Jin Datou to kill you? The Datou Gang didn't have armed jeeps, and who gave them to them?"

Rochard: "You taught me, I'll tell you."

Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said, "This is not a negotiation or a quid pro quo. I risked my life to save you, and it is your responsibility to tell me what kind of trouble I got involved in."

Rochard: "Have to say it first?"

Huazhenhang didn't say anything, but his attitude was clear.

Chapter 017 Big Fish

Rochard watched Huazhenxing for a long time, and finally sighed: "I didn't want to say too much. I'm afraid you won't understand some things."

Hua Zhenxing said with a stern face: "I can escort you on foot through the wilderness, but that doesn't mean I'm just an ignorant savage."

Rochard: "Okay, I'm going to say goodbye tomorrow, I'll tell you today. This place is backward, stupid, and chaotic, but you know what the most advanced institution is here?"

Hua Zhenxing: "As you are asking this kind of question, the answer is of course International Hospital."

The Port Fiso International Hospital was developed from a refugee tent hospital 15 years ago. It has received funding from many international organizations, and its scale is now quite large.It has thousands of hospital beds, and even forms a relatively independent safe area in the city, which is often overcrowded.

To say it is advanced refers to those facilities that represent its highest level. There are world-class research rooms, operating rooms, laboratories, and intensive care units. The hundreds of high-end wards are not inferior to private hospitals in developed countries.But these conditions are generally not enjoyed by ordinary people. Most of the general wards and beds in the hospital are very poor, and the disposal and observation hall is overcrowded.

Rochard nodded: "Yes, it not only has the most advanced medical equipment and various wards, but also the most advanced laboratories and research departments. It has a large enough scale and enough patients to see to a wide variety of patients, so it has the best conditions for drug trials."

Hua Zhenxing frowned: "You guys are conducting illegal drug tests here?"
