Chapter 358 The Beginning of Conquering the Desert

"A lesbian, who is no longer engaged in scientific research, can become the director of the Aero-Engine Research Institute, which is beyond reason!"

"Shuimu's century-old reputation has been destroyed in one day, and some people have destroyed my Shuimu foundation in order to fight for power and profit!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooo~ Heroic spirits of Mizuki, take a look in the sky, see that someone is destroying Mizuki and making Mizuki a mess!"

"Langzhou hens turned into males, and Songzhou hens turned into males! Shuimu's century-old foundation is facing catastrophe!"

"."

The Shuimu forum was full of wailing, many people spoke one after another, no one mentioned Qin Yuanqing, but they alluded clearly, accusing Qin Yuanqing of being a new student and endangering the development of Shuimu.

But just the wailing of these stubborn people, the students didn't care about them at all, so although the public opinion offensive was set off, it was calm, and Qin Yuanqing didn't pay attention to it.

As Shuimu University introduces hundreds or thousands of fresh blood every year, these old people who still hold inherent ideas and regard Shuimu as their own three-acre land will sooner or later be swept away into the garbage dump of history.

These older professors and associate professors may have felt the pressure and feel that they have no freedom in the past. Some voluntarily resigned and went to teach in other universities, and some were dismissed because they failed the assessment of their own way.

Sometimes reform is like this, and it is gradual and cyclical, and it is impossible to sweep away all the old and young in one size fits all.

On April 4st, April Fool's Day, the whole country and the whole world were shocked by a piece of news. The Chinese government officially issued a notice and decided to establish the Xiongan New District in Hebei. After the Special Economic Zone and Shanghai Pudong New Area, it is another new area with national significance.The establishment of Xiong'an New Area has great practical and far-reaching historical significance for centrally relieving non-capital functions of the capital, exploring new models for optimizing the development of densely populated and economically dense areas, adjusting and optimizing the urban layout and spatial structure of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and cultivating a new engine for innovation-driven development.

It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to speak highly of Xiongan New Area.

The host of CCTV commented that Xiongan New District may become another first-tier city in China in ten years.

Qin Yuanqing felt the country's attention, because the country announced the establishment of an artificial intelligence research center in Xiong'an New District to explore artificial intelligence related fields.

This is simply a cheat for the Xiongan New Area!
The entire Xiongan New Area includes Xiong County, Rongcheng County, Xin'an County and some surrounding areas. The initial area covers an area of ​​about 100 square kilometers, the medium-term development area covers an area of ​​about 200 square kilometers, and the long-term control area covers an area of ​​about 2000 square kilometers. The resident population of is 104.71 million.

Qin Yuanqing never thought about going to Xiong'an New Area. According to the news about Xiong'an New Area, Qin Yuanqing went to Laowei County, Long Province.

After a few months, I came back to Laowei County. Great changes have taken place. The Desert Control Research Institute has become a busy construction site. A world-class desert control research institute will be built here to explore methods of desert control.

Of course, the research institute has already rented a house in Laowei County, and is already working. The research institute has grown from 20 people at the beginning to 400 people, and people come to report one after another every month. After all, this There are 2000 people recruited at one time.

When we came to a huge construction site, the construction team was transforming the barren beach into fertile land. To control this desert, we must first fix quicksand, pull soil to make fields, and improve saline-alkali soil quality, so as to properly develop farmland under the premise of protecting the ecological environment.

Right now, hundreds of people are planting Salix salix on a large scale under the guidance of sand control technicians from the Provincial Forestry Bureau invited by the research institute.

In the front, a tractor is used to dig a ditch, and in the back, the saplings are planted obliquely, just to expose the seedlings, buried and compacted, and then slightly watered.In autumn, three or four stems with a height of one meter or more will grow, and the survival rate is generally above 90%.

Salix salix is ​​a desert plant, and it is also one of the very few plants that can grow in saline-alkali land.It has strong resistance to stress, is more drought-tolerant, likes water and humidity, resists wind and sand, and has strong sand-fixing and soil-retaining ability. It is one of the tree species with the largest afforestation area in sandy desert areas in my country.

Shallow is shaped like a torch, and has the characteristics of "five immortality" that it will survive drought, gnaw cattle and sheep, chop with ax and axe, bury it in sand, and survive waterlogging.

When spring comes, the wind and sand are raging, and the sand dunes move. No matter how deep the salix is ​​buried, as long as one head is exposed, it can grow vigorously. Although it is not afraid of drought, it can also grow if there is enough rain.It is not afraid of being gnawed by cattle and sheep. Even if the skin around it is gnawed off, as long as there is a branch inside that cannot be reached by cattle and sheep, it will regain its vitality in a short time.

The economic value of salix is ​​also relatively high - it can be used for cardboard and papermaking.It contains about the same amount of heat as coal, and can be developed into a green sandy coal field that is cut every three to six years.

Of course, Qin Yuanqing didn't like the benefits of the green sandy coal fields, and turning sandy land into fields was the most important thing.

Sand willows can firmly hold the sand dunes, and the plant belts formed by clusters of sand willows retain the water in the sand, flatten the sandbags, and form patches of green land within a few years.

Desertification control and improving the environment of the entire region are what Qin Yuanqing is interested in.After all, compared to its input, its output is almost negligible.

The area that is currently being developed is near the research institute under construction. It is estimated that by next year, the surrounding three kilometers will no longer be a desert, but lush green.And the research institute's generous investment has also brought considerable employment to Laowei County. After all, those who are close to water sources can use this salix, but it is not so easy to go outside.

The characteristics of salix also make it the research object of the research institute.

It can be said that the entire Laowei County is the experimental site of the research institute. Once it succeeds, it will be the time for the state to really intervene, and then the power of the whole country will be mobilized.After all, there are 70 square kilometers of desert in China, and including the more than 50 square kilometers of Gobi, it is 128 million square kilometers.

It is impossible for an individual to remediate the 128 million square kilometers of desert, even if Qin Yuanqing's wealth is doubled, it is impossible for the country to mobilize the whole country.

"Director Qin, we have reached cooperation with six desert scientific research institutes. We will plant trees and cultivate new varieties at the same time, and explore a plant that can reduce the cost of treatment!" Dean Xie said.

Since the establishment of the research institute, he has been appointed as the dean of the research institute, but he is hung under the life laboratory, and the rank is at the official level.

"Old Xie, I will leave this to you. If there is anything I need to solve, you must tell me immediately!" Qin Yuanqing said seriously.

The living environment in Laowei County is terrible, far from being comparable to that in Beijing. These researchers will stay in Laowei County for a long time, and they can only return to Beijing for vacation once every two months on average. Water is a very precious resource here. Do you think There is no way to take a bath once a day.

And this kind of research is like a blind man feeling an elephant. It takes a lot of experiments and research to cultivate suitable vegetation, and no one knows when it will be done, maybe one year, maybe two years, maybe five years, maybe ten years. Year!
"Director Qin, what we are engaged in is a sacred cause. Only by conquering the Gobi Desert can we China have a living space!" Dean Xie said firmly: "Even if I die, I will die here!"

Qin Yuanqing was quite moved when he heard the words, and patted Dean Xie on the shoulder.It is precisely because there are many such great causes that have devoted themselves to the motherland with lofty ideals that Huaxia can build a modern industry from ruins in a short period of time and become a modern industrial country.

This great cause is a cause that will benefit future generations for generations to come. The investment of money is one aspect, and the input of manpower is another aspect.

Without a firm belief, there is no way to stay here for a long time.

"President Xie, I'm relieved to have you here!" Qin Yuanqing said confidently, "I believe that within five years, Naowei County will become a green ocean. Our business will definitely be successful!"

The direction of this research mainly includes methods such as hybridization, genetic modification, and gene mutation, and these research methods have to be studied in depth one by one, rooted in this, and explored step by step. This is an exploration of life, involving researchers is not a small number.

The 2000 people is only the first step. Next, the Institute will recruit at least a thousand undergraduate and graduate students every year to come to Yuwei County to devote themselves to this great research.

A large piece of land is contracted by the research institute, so it is owned by the research institute.This means that the research institute can boldly let go of research and scientific research here, and don't have to worry about planting trees. As a result, the forest was cut down in a few years.

Of course, not only afforestation is carried out here, but windmills are also built for wind power generation and solar power generation to supply the electricity demand of the entire Laowei County and the work needs of researchers.

Qin Yuanqing also saw that the current afforestation uses salix, poplar, Haloxylon, tamarisk, poplar, flower stick, poplar and other vegetation. The previous Huaxia Three North Shelterbelt Project was invested in the spirit of Yugong Yishan. With a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, it took decades of hard work to finally establish a protective forest belt, which made the capital finally free from the suffering of sandstorms.

But you must know that the cost is huge, and it cannot be used to control the desert area of ​​128 million square kilometers. It is necessary to find a cheap, simple, and less water-requiring vegetation and control method to control the desert.

I don’t know how the leaders of Laowei County knew that Qin Yuanqing had come to Laowei County. Qin Yuanqing hadn’t left yet. It is necessary to cooperate with the leading group of Laowei County to achieve success.

So Qin Yuanqing still met them, and inspected the construction site of the research institute together with them, as well as the planning drawings. Seeing the complete planning drawings, the leaders of Laowei County were all very excited. The living environment will be greatly improved, and there will be no need to suffer from the desert.
