"Don't worry, my dear wife. I have arranged for female soldiers to take care of Grandma and Comrade Zhou."

Shi Yanning nodded in agreement. Huo Chenzhou kept chattering all the way, talking more than the old man.

The house was very small and there were not many things inside. There was a kang and two tables side by side, which was the desk that Huo Chenzhou prepared for Shi Yanning.

There was also a stove with a teapot on it, boiling water, and connected to the kang, which was probably how they kept warm.

There were two covers and a coat on the bed.

Huo Chenzhou put all of Shi Yanning's things into a cabinet, poured some water for Shi Yanning, went out and came back in with a box of food.

"Wife, you didn't eat anything in the car, did you? Come and eat something."

Shi Yanning ate the meal listlessly, and finally his stomach was warmed up and he regained some energy.

Only then did he have the energy to reply to Huo Chenzhou: "You must be tired, don't be busy, I will slowly pack those things tomorrow."

Her eyes were darker and she was thinner, but her eyes were bright. Looking at the busy man, Shi Yanning felt more at ease than ever before.

As the car traveled across the Gobi Desert, there was endless darkness. After passing through one desert after another, what appeared before our eyes was still the Gobi Desert.

But what they are doing now is to build railways in places like this. Thinking about the time when she took the world's most beautiful railway line, Shi Yanning's heart was filled with pride.

When the children grow up, I must bring them to see it and tell them that this is the railway that their parents directed and participated in.

Huo Chenzhou also felt the inexplicable excitement of his wife in his arms, and the two of them talked to each other. Slowly, they lay neck to neck in the heart of the Gobi Desert in winter, spending their first cold night together.

On the second day, before work started, early in the morning, Mr. Qu came back from the far Gobi Desert by car, feeling cold.

After entering the camp, there was a large wooden house which was used as a studio for the railway bureau's discussions.

"I just went there, and the difficulty we faced this time was quicksand."

As we all know, the most dangerous place in the Gobi Desert is the irregular and bottomless quicksand.

These quicksands are like traps hidden in the sea of ​​sand, which may swallow everything at any time. But now, they have to build a railway in this desert full of challenges and dangers, which is undoubtedly a difficult task.

Faced with such harsh environmental conditions, engineers need to fully exert their wisdom and courage to complete this seemingly impossible task.

Shi Yanning and Director Qu, Dean Sang, Professor Liu and a group of other key experts from the railway bureau were running back and forth between the construction site and the conference room.

Huo Chenzhou was not idle either. He was working on some infrastructure projects with his men every day. The two of them would see each other every day and then they would each busy themselves with their own things at the table.

Shi Yanning looked through the information and searched for a solution, while Huo Chenzhou made a more appropriate plan based on the terrain.

The two did not expect it to be so busy that one desk was not enough, so Huo Chenzhou moved another desk from outside the next day as a temporary office for them.

In this way, each person has one sheet and does not disturb each other.

Shi Yanning had just taken a sip of hot water from the stove when Huo Chenzhou was holding a construction drawing: "Wife, is there any risk in building this drawing?"

Huo Chenzhou was obviously asking about laying the foundation.

Shi Yanning thought of the news about the thousand quicksands swallowing, as well as the poisonous scorpions and poisonous snakes in the desert: "It's winter now, and the poisonous snakes are hibernating. They are not as active as in summer, which is actually a good thing."

They had traveled through the mountains before, and two groups of people started working at the same time, so it took two months to complete the starting point on the plain side.

But now they are going to build a railway in the desert. Perhaps they can turn the Gobi Desert into a desert grassland.

Shi Yanning thought about the last time he went to the market and wanted to buy some fruit, but the fruits here were dry and not sweet enough.

The villagers said that the fruit trees they planted were on high mountains, which were all yellow sand and there was very little water in the soil. Therefore, to water the fruit trees, they had to carry water up the mountain in baskets.

Occasionally there will be a drought year, and the fruit trees will suffer a huge loss.

But they are still constantly grafting, pollinating, and cultivating more drought-resistant fruit trees, just to prove that trees can be grown in the desert.

It is also to resist further invasion of quicksand.

After Shi Yanning finished speaking, he had an idea. The villagers' goal was to prevent wind and sand, and what they were afraid of now was quicksand.

Their purpose is actually the same, to prevent wind and sand.

Zhou Pingping felt that Shi Yanning was like a possessed person, staying alone quietly for the entire day every day.

While Shi Yanning was in a daze, she kept recalling the methods she knew in her mind, but they were rejected one by one.

However, she hasn't found a solution yet, so she doesn't dare tell anyone else. She just silently searches for information and recalls.

Previously, everyone's question was how to build a railway in the quicksand desert, so they kept trying out methods, but there has been no result so far.

Some people also said that we should prevent wind and control sand, but no one took it seriously. After all, everyone is doing this, but the area of ​​the desert is getting bigger and bigger.

The various trees planted simply could not survive.

Shi Yanning was sitting on a small sand dune in the Gobi Desert. Although he was wearing a down jacket sent by the boss of the company and a pure wool scarf, the wind and sand were very strong in such a cold place.

In the evening, the temperature suddenly dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius, and Shi Yanning sneezed uncontrollably.

Her limbs were cold, but her mind was working very fast.

"Wife, go back home and have some hot soup to warm yourself up."

When Huo Chenzhou came, he saw Shi Yanning looking into the distance in a daze like a sculpture.

Everyone was complaining about the cold and asking to put on more clothes, but she was still sitting here, not returning to the camp, and not afraid of the wolves.

There are wild wolves here, and people go out in groups of three or five. Therefore, when Shi Yanning disappeared for an entire afternoon, grandma and Zhou Pingping became extremely worried.

"Desert grass squares."

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Shi Yanning sent Huo Chenzhou to rest. When she saw the dark circles under Huo Chenzhou's eyes, she knew that he had not had much rest during the past two days at the construction site.

Shi Yanning continued to focus on his subordinates' explanation and description of the grass grid.

As the words appeared on the paper, her thoughts became clearer and her brain became more excited.

Shi Yanning rushed to the meeting room early in the morning and handed the first draft he wrote to Mr. Qu.

Shi Yanning looked energetic because he stayed up late last night, but his body was very tired.

When Mr. Qu saw Shi Yanning's condition, he knew how hard the child had worked last night and took a look at the manuscript.

"Grass squares?"

It was the first time that Mr. Qu heard such a name, and he read on with doubt. The introduction and operation, detailed steps and simple materials, could they really prevent wind and fix sand?
