"This is the grassland that grandma gave you, Turpan Grassland."
This is an olive-shaped intermountain basin, surrounded by mountains on all sides. The basin starts from the entrance of Alashan Valley in the west and ends at the west entrance of Qijiaojing Canyon in the east. Because it is located in the basin and is surrounded by mountains, it heats up quickly and dissipates slowly, resulting in long sunshine.
The temperature is high, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the precipitation is low, the wind is strong, the light and heat resources are very rich, the sunshine time is long, the temperature is high, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.
There are only some basic forest trees and few crops.
"There are now 20,000 grassland nomads and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep here."
"Snowy mountains, green grasslands, countless cattle and sheep, this is the paradise on earth."
Chilechuan, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields,
The sky is clear, the fields are vast, the grass is blown by the wind and cattle and sheep are low.
“It’s a great place”
"What a pity"
"The summer here is long, with high temperatures and scorching heat; the autumn is shorter, with rapid cooling; the winter is short, with light winds and light snow, fine weather, and short cold periods. January is the coldest and July is the hottest. The land is barren, and spring and summer are short.
season it is
A good place, the paradise on earth you mentioned, but in the autumn and winter, there is no rain for a hundred days, the sky is dry, the rivers dry up, the grass withers, the wind and sand blow, and the lives are dim. The people who stay here can only be forced to move away for a year.
Not as good as one year”
"How could it be? The mountains here are as high as the clouds, with thousands of feet of snow. In summer and autumn, the snow melts, so there should be enough water."
"We are also very surprised, where has all the snow water gone?"
"Really? Let's go and take a look."
In the spring grassland, flowers bloom, everything wakes up, the plains are green, and the hills are also green. The sheep climb up the hills and come down again, as if they have embroidered large white flowers on the green carpet.
They rode their war horses towards the snow-capped mountains of Bogda Mountain, running wildly all the way, freely and freely, like eagles flying in the sky. In front of them was the main peak of Bogda Mountain. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. Looking up, they looked up into the clouds and saw a vast expanse of snow.
,
"The horses can't go up, let's go up on foot and have a look"
"ah"
You Yue was surprised by her actions,
"I still have to climb the mountain. How long will it take?"
After exhausting all their efforts, they climbed to the foot of the main peak. There were still snow-capped mountains as far as the eye could see above, dots of white snow below, and endless grasslands in the distance.
“What a beautiful place”
Hanwen sighed again, surrounded by mountains on all sides
"High mountains and flowing water, such a beautiful place, how can there be no water when thousands of snow-capped mountains melt in summer?"
"I can't walk anymore"
Youyue was so tired that she fell on the ground. Hanwen took off the kettle and handed it to Youyue.
"Come and drink some water"
Commander Du Ruosheng, take a rest and spread out to see if there is any water source around you. Remember not to go too far. When you find a water source, call out.
"Follow your orders"
More than a dozen guards dispersed,
"Youyue, don't sit down. Get up and walk around. You'll get out of breath easily."
Hanwen stretched out his hand to pull Youyue. It was the first time he saw Xu Hanwen reaching out to him, thinking that he could hold hands with him right away. Youyue's heart beat faster, and she stretched out her hand to hold Xu Hanwen's hand. His hand was so gentle and so good.
Warm, the moment I stood up, my feet slipped and my body leaned backwards
, there was a sharp stone about the size of a fist on the back of her head. Hanwen stretched out his palm to block the back of her head in desperation. Youyue fell to the ground and Hanwen pressed her up. His lips happened to be on Youyue's lips. At this moment, Hanwen
Wen Yue was confused and at a loss. Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
"It turns out that kissing is like this. His lips are so sweet and comfortable. I really want to kiss him like this all the time."
“I don’t know how long it will take”
"Mr. Pingyuan, there is water here"
This shout broke the silence, and Hanwen quickly pushed her away.
"Sorry I didn't see anything"
"It's not what you think, it's all an accident"
"What do you explain to him?"
"Are you okay?"
"Ah, I'm fine"
At this time, blood flowed out of Hanwen's arm,
"You're bleeding"
"It's okay, just a minor injury"
"No, I'll bandage it for you."
Youyue tore off the long skirt of her lower body and carefully grabbed Hanwen's arm. Upon closer inspection, she found a three-centimeter gash on his arm, dripping with blood.
"sorry"
"Why are you so careless?"
"I, my feet slipped"
"Skid"
Hanwen squatted down to check and found that where You Yue stepped on, the top looked like dry sand, but not deep down, there was sand and mud.
"What's going on? Give me your knife."
Captain Du pulled out his long sword and handed it to Hanwen,
"It turns out it's so humid down here. Hanwen pried open the sand above and found water."
"Mr. Pingyuan, we also discovered the source of water."
"Take me to see it"
Walking up about 300 steps, I did see a small stream, clear and cold ice field water flowing along the surface of the red stone.
"There was water, and the water was quite small. We followed it to see where it went when it fell to the ground. After walking down about five hundred steps, the stream actually disappeared.
"What's going on? Why did it disappear out of thin air?"
"Pry this place open"
Hearing Hanwen's words, everyone pried open the sand. It was very wet underneath. Hanwen found a handful of fine sand, held it in his hand, and when he exerted force, water stains came out of the sand.
"No wonder I didn't see any water. The water was absorbed by the sand. These are sedimentary rocks and limestone, which are particularly able to absorb water, so the water cannot flow on the surface of the ground.
"You continue to investigate and understand the water veins."
Hanwen stood up and looked at the place, which was dozens of miles away from the foot of the mountain. It would be a big project to divert the water source to the foot of the mountain.
After three days of visits and observations, he roughly knew the paths of the five creeks. He had been staying in the tent drawing design drawings for the past few days, and the toilet paper was piled up in the tent.
"Hanwen, what are you doing in the tent these days without sleep? Why are you so messy?"
"Someone, clean this place up"
Two maids came in
"Don't move, this is the fruit of the hard work of my two heads."
I found a way to solve the drought problem in Turpan
"What can I do?"
"Dig wells and build canals"
"Let me see"
"Using the foothills and alluvial fan margins, we intercept the ice sheet water and collect it for underground water. We build a flood dam at the bottom for farmland irrigation and residential water use.
"This project consists of four parts: vertical shafts, underground channels, surface channels and waterlogging dams. First, the wellhead is dug from high to bottom on the ground to collect the groundwater. Then, an culvert is built at the bottom of the well to guide the groundwater to its destination and transport it underground.
, and finally the water is directed to the ground, thus ensuring that the groundwater will not be evaporated due to heat and strong winds, and protection will be installed above the well to prevent it from being contaminated by wild animals."
"Hanwen, I don't understand, but judging from your attitude, this project is quite big."
"It's quite big. As for my tribe, everyone who joins it will have to work for a year."
"This is not okay, the wolf clan will not allow it."
"Why"
"The wolf tribe is not allowed to build large-scale construction on the grassland. This will destroy the feng shui. Moreover, the whole tribe is building canals. Who will graze the animals?"
"We are not allowed to do anything that benefits the country and the people."
