Zhao Hai stood quietly on the edge of the desert. He had been in the desert for two months. In the first month, he had been dealing with the affairs of Laorou Village. The village was now on the right track. Those old people
What was planted has slowly grown. Even without the supplies obtained from Lingshe Village, those old people would not die of hunger.
So starting from the second month, Zhao Hai began to study drought-resistant plants. He kept experimenting with natural energy for more than a month. Today, he finally came up with a drought-resistant plant, which is the handful of seeds in front of him.
These seeds are not some extraordinary plants, but grass seeds, which are the seeds of grass. This grass is the most common weed in the desert.
Don't underestimate this kind of weed. Zhao Hai has already tested it. The drought resistance of this kind of weed is two to three times that of the grass on the grassland. However, it is obvious that this kind of weed cannot adapt to the extreme conditions here in the desert.
Under drought conditions, they can only grow in places close to water sources. If they are further away from water sources, they will not be able to grow.
In addition to grass, Zhao Hai also discovered that the most suitable thing for growing here in the desert is cacti. However, cacti are not very useful to Zhao Hai, so Zhao Hai has not chosen cactus for experiments.
These grasses are grass seeds that Zhao Hai has experimented many times in his own soul space. They are grass seeds obtained after many improvements with natural energy. Zhao Hai just wants to see how these grass seeds will grow in the natural environment after being planted.
, can they grow.
Fat Mao and Zhou Qianqian stood behind Zhao Hai. Fat Mao looked at Zhao Hai and said: "Master, I have asked those old people, and they are very sure. In three days, there will be a rain, and this rain
It will be very big. At this time, it is just before the desert is about to enter the rainy season. Master, do you think it is?"
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "Plant all these grass seeds into the ground, and then see how they grow. I will prepare more bottle tree seeds in a few days. When it rains, plant the seeds of those bottle trees."
, Since water can’t be stored in the sand, it can be stored in the bottle tree.”
As Zhao Hai spoke, he gave the seeds to Fat Cat. Fat Cat responded and immediately planted the seeds.
Here in the desert, it is really easy to plant these seeds. Fat Mao and Zhou Qianqian planted all the seeds in a short time.
The two of them had just finished their work when several old people came over. These old people were all from the old people's village. They were quite old and their hair was already white. They had already prepared dry food.
They were ready to go into the desert and wait to die, but they didn't expect that Laorou Village was suddenly established and they were sent to Laorou Village. They could live here peacefully without worrying about hurting anyone. This made them almost
Everyone was grateful to Zhao Hai. In addition, when they were young, they all worked as minor officials in the Calvary Thieves Group and could manage some things, so Zhao Hai asked a few of them to help him manage the old man's village.
.
Speaking of which, there really is nothing to take care of here in Laorou Village, but after all, these teachers are old, and their identities will inevitably have some problems. At this time, they need some care, so the teachers in Laoren Village
Officials are not so much managing Laoren Village as they are taking care of Laoren Village.
Moreover, in addition to the elderly, there are also many disabled people in Laoren Village. These disabled people, like the old people, have lost hope of life, but now in Laoren Village, they have hope of living.
Already.
Everyone can do some work within their ability, as long as they can support themselves, and don't ask for too much. This kind of environment itself gives them the courage to live, so now Laorou Village seems very peaceful.
At the same time, everyone in Laorou Village knows what Zhao Hai is doing. To be honest, most of them don't believe that Zhao Hai can do it, but they hope that Zhao Hai can do it. If Zhao Hai can really make plants suitable for growing here in the desert
, if the desert can really be turned into an oasis, it will definitely be a great thing.
Today I heard that Zhao Hai was going to try planting grass seeds for the first time, so these old people came here after finishing their work to see if they could help Zhao Hai in any way.
When several people saw that Fat Mao and Zhou Qianqian had finished their work, they couldn't help but sigh. One of the old men said to Zhao Hai: "The village leader will have a heavy rain in three days. If the grass can sprout smoothly at that time, there will be life."
It is possible to go down, but the daily rainfall season here in the desert is too short, only about two months, and the amount of rainfall is also very small. General grass will die if it is too far away from the water source.
The village owner doesn’t have to have high hopes.”
Zhao Hai understood what the old man meant. The old man was not pouring cold water on him, but giving him vaccinations. Even if the grasses really died in the future, he would not be too sad.
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Chen. Now the seeds have been planted. We will see the results in three days. Okay, let's go back." Everyone nodded and walked towards the village.
Zhao Hai was stunned as soon as he entered the village. The people in the village were taking measures to prevent rain. Although they were old or disabled, it was obvious that they had done this kind of thing before.
Very used to it.
Zhao Hai still didn't understand what was going on. At this time, the fat cat who was following Zhao Hai said: "Master, here in the desert, you must take measures to prevent rain during the rainy season, because rain here in the desert is different from other things."
It’s different in places. It either doesn’t rain here in the desert, or it rains heavily, and it’s accompanied by strong winds that won’t stop for a while. If the rain is heavy, it will cause disaster. If you don’t take measures to prevent rain, the consequences will be serious.
It's really unimaginable.
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice: "I have a lot of things to do in these three days. Don't disturb me. Helping the people in the village and taking rainproof measures is the most important thing. If this
If you are too busy, send someone to Shahu Village and ask them to send someone to help."
Fat Cat responded, and Zhao Hai turned around and returned to his tent. Since Zhao Hai entered the village, he has been sitting in a tent that is not very big. Although there are some houses in the village, Zhao Hai has already
Those houses were given to the old people to live in, and he has been living in a tent. It is precisely because of this approach that Zhao Hai's prestige in the village is unmatched by anyone, and the old people are even more grateful to him.
After Zhao Hai returned to the tent, he immediately began to make a large number of bottle tree seeds in his soul space, and now he also came up with the idea of turning the bottle tree into a seed.
It can be used as a fixed small pond, allowing bottle trees to slowly change the desert.
If it is true as Fat Cat said, then there is still a lot of rainfall in the desert during the two-month rainy season, but once the water falls on the ground, it will directly seep into the sand and cannot be preserved.
, cannot support plant growth, and except for a very small part that forms a river bed and becomes a monsoon river that appears here in the desert, the rest of the water is simply wasted.
But the bottle tree is different. The bottle tree can absorb a lot of water, and this water can be stored in the body of the bottle tree. If there are many such bottle trees in the desert, how much water can these bottle trees store every day?
?Can the water wasted in the desert be used? If this can be done, it is not impossible to turn the desert into an oasis.
But there are some prerequisites for this, that is, the water in the bottle tree must be used by other plants. You must know that the water stored in the bottle tree is usually for their own use, and other plants cannot use it.
Yes, even if people want to use the water in the bottle tree, they must pierce the bottle tree and release the water inside. Obviously this method is not suitable for the desert, so I want to change the environment of the desert.
, relying on ordinary bottle trees is obviously not enough, so a special bottle tree is needed.
But now Zhao Hai has no time to improve the bottle tree. What he has to do now is to make as many bottle tree seeds as possible, and then when the heavy rain comes, let these bottle tree seeds grow out as soon as possible.
Absorb more rainwater to prepare for his next step of research.
In the next three days, the entire Laoren Village was busy. Whether it was the elderly or children, whether it was women or those with disabilities, everyone was very concerned about it, reinforcing the houses, reinforcing tents, and bringing food and other supplies that were afraid of water.
, be prepared for waterproofing, and also pay attention to the conditions in the river. It can be said that every rainy season is the happiest and busiest time for people in the desert.
Three days later, Zhao Hai walked out of his tent. He looked at the sky. It was still very good. It was a cloudless and good weather. But Zhao Hai didn't think so. He believed that these things were better in the desert.
The judgment of people who have lived all their lives. If they say it will rain here in the desert today, then it will definitely rain. There is nothing wrong.
When Fat Cat saw Zhao Hai coming out, he immediately ran over and saluted Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "That's all, how are you preparing?"
Fat Cat immediately said: "Young master, everything is ready. Everything has been taken to prevent rain. You don't have to worry."
Zhao Hai nodded, looked at the stockade, then went into the house and carried his wooden box out, and then began to walk around the stockade. Every ten meters he walked, he would throw a seed on the ground, and then
A seed will grow into a big tree in the shortest time. After a while, the whole village is covered with big trees. This makes the people in the village very curious. They don't know what Zhao Hai is going to do.
.
Fat Cat has been following Zhao Hai. As Zhao Hai walked forward, Mr. Chen, who had been talking to Zhao Hai before, found an opportunity, grabbed Fat Cat, and then whispered: "Fat Cat,
What is the village leader doing? Why are there so many strange trees planted here in the desert?"
The appearance of the bottle tree is indeed a bit strange. Although this kind of tree also grows in some relatively arid areas, it is not as dry as here in the desert. In the desert, it is also difficult for bottle trees to survive, so people here in the desert
He has never seen it before, so he asked this question.
