Zhao Shucheng was not frustrated after hearing Ling Yinong's words, but instead firmly believed that he could really change the ecological environment of the Gobi Desert.
Maybe Zhao Shucheng is not a professional sand control person, but he is also a person who lives in different worlds for a long time. He has learned about many sand control methods in the imperial court, so he is very confident in improving the local environment.
"Professor Ling, I also know that I am alone and I can definitely not change the environment, but as long as everyone works, they can always change the environment."
"Just say that Shui Wang's grandfather has planted so many trees in this village. It doesn't look big now, but one day it will turn into a towering tree that can protect our village and even grow into a huge windproof tree."
"The sand control thing is definitely not a short-term thing, just like the land turns into a desert, nor is it a short-term thing. As long as the Russians can persist in fighting against the sand, they will definitely defeat the desert in the future. What the great man said is that fighting with the sky will bring endless fun; fighting with the earth will bring endless fun; fighting with people will bring even more fun."
"The Russians are changing the desert, fighting against the earth, fighting against God, and even fighting against people. Such things must be endless."
Ling Yinong looked at Zhao Shucheng's high-pitched mood and said, "Yongfu, I think you should not invest too much. I think it's better to have a tree for ten years and a hundred years. Sand control is not the most important thing now, but you should develop local education, which is the most important thing."
"I have also seen the situation of primary schools in the village before. Although it seems to be very large, the educational resources are still very poor. Compared with the education in Hu Jian and other places, this place is still very backward, not only lacking teachers, but also lacking textbooks."
"If you really want to control the desert, you can only exert the spirit of Yugong moving mountains. But this requires generations and generations to continue to work. The reason why I come to control the desert is because my teacher only kills people and even leaves his youth here."
Professor Ling thought of his teacher's view, other things, and even thought of many students abandoning their hometowns after going to school and never returning. But this cannot be blamed, after all, everyone wants a good life.
Zhao Shucheng did not disturb Ling Yinong's contemplation, but he still decided to control desertification. He couldn't get involved in the education problem at all. At most, he just donated some money. In this primary school, it's almost 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year.
Besides, Zhao Shucheng has been explaining the importance of knowledge to village names over the years, especially with the poverty alleviation projects of Professor Ling and Yang He, so that they can really make money with knowledge. In all the villages around Yuquanying, children of appropriate age have not dropped out of school, but have studied hard, hoping to get out of this place and see what is happening outside.
This is fundamentally different from the original plot. With the news of Zhao Shucheng's money making money by writing books, many students contributed. Although not everyone makes money, there is always one who makes money, which makes other parents even more jealous and force their children to go to school well after knowing it. In the eyes of parents, since they can make a lot of money in the future and now have other incomes at home, they don't have to force their children to drop out of school and work. Even if someone drops out occasionally, they will be caught by Teacher Bai and eventually be taught a lesson by the village party secretary and village director, and finally let the children go to school.
"Professor Ling, I still have to do sand control. Don't say it, listen to me."
"I know it will be difficult to control sand, but there is always a way to solve it. Not to mention other things, just when the train is built, I saw a method of grass grids that they used, so that they can effectively prevent wind and sand. Even because there are grass seeds in the grass grids, they can continue to prevent wind and sand after they grow up, and the saplings inside also play a certain role."
"Professor Ling, the mushroom grass you are studying can have the effect of preventing wind and fixing sand. I am just trying to figure out if the seeds of this mushroom grass are scattered in the sand, will it grow?"
"If possible, this will allow for good desert greening. If not, the Russians will have to find other grass seeds."
Ling Yinong was very curious about Zhao Shucheng's words and asked what the method was to grind the square. After understanding it clearly, he said hesitantly: "I can't explain clearly whether this method works or not now. It needs to be experimented."
Zhao Shucheng wanted Ling Yinong to stay. With his help, he could better develop Minning Village. First of all, the mushroom breeding here requires his experience. Even if mushroom grass can be really grown in the desert, then fermentation needs his help. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Shucheng wants him to help study the Musheng mushroom grass. Anyway, if it is really a sand control, these trees will be idle at that time. It is better to raise mushrooms by the way, so that they can prevent wind and solidify sand and bring benefits to tree planters.
Of course, if you really study desertification control, it will definitely be a very laborious task, and there will be no results in the short term. You can only have someone to demonstrate and make the villagers who plant trees profitable.
Zhao Shucheng felt that he had enough money to make, but he was more interested in fighting with the world. His current company had splashes to help manage it. As long as there was no big problem, the family would not have to worry about eating and drinking. What Zhao Shucheng really wanted was actually research related to the Internet, such as in-depth research on lithography machines, research on computer or operating systems, and even related technology research on smartphones, chip technology research, etc. These are some big projects that cost a lot of money. The funds provided by the current factories are simply a drop in the bucket.
Zhao Shucheng is not in a hurry. Anyway, there is still time to study. If it really doesn't work, then his Jintan Village Investment Company is in Alibaba, QQ's angel round, and even A and B rounds of investment follow-up. After going public, he will slowly cash out and use this money to conduct research.
"Professor Ling, the sand-fixing effect of the grass grid is very good, but it only takes experiments. However, regarding this grass grid, we have planted a lot of wheat here, and there is definitely no shortage of straw. In order to control sand, everyone will be willing to spend time and manpower, so we can enter the steps of changing the environment."
Although the grass grid is effective in sand control, the cost is still very high. Not to mention anything else, the cost of manpower alone is not small, and in addition, you need to buy seeds, seedlings, and even straw.
Of course, the cost of Yuquan Camp is relatively low. There are many leftovers for straw because of raising earthworms, growing mushrooms and cooking fires. Secondly, this place is not far from the desert. You can go home to rest and have a meal after finishing your work every day. Of course, after going deep into the desert in the future, the situation will be different.
Since Ling Yinong talked to Zhao Shucheng, he began to study desertification control. He was very interested in the grass grid mentioned by Zhao Shucheng, but he also knew that he would definitely not be able to do it alone. First of all, the grass seeds in the grass grid. It is unclear whether his strains are suitable. It only needs to be discussed with other experts.
He was excited to call his friends, thinking of a solution to the wind and sand. Others were also very happy to hear that someone paid for their research, so many scientific researchers came.
At this time, Zhao Shucheng was doing the operation of the grid by himself. Because he had no experience, although it seemed like that, it had no effect. Moreover, because the depth was not enough, sometimes the straw would be taken away by the wind.
A technician from the desert control research followed Ling Yinong here, saw Zhao Shucheng's results, and said: "Are you already starting?"
"No, I'm just experimenting now, but the results are not good, the depth is not enough, and I don't know which grass seeds to use." Zhao Shucheng glanced at the other party and said.
"It doesn't matter. This thing is a matter of practice, and most of the situations are correct. The form of this grass square is a square, and the most common one is one meter by one meter. Experiments have proved that one meter grass square on the sand surface with small ups and downs is the most suitable. With small wind energy, the grass square can be flexibly enlarged. However, on the wind slope, due to the terrain, the grass band on the contour line must be encrypted."
"For straw, it should be inserted about fifteen centimeters into the sand layer, lift both sides of the straw upright on the sand surface, exposing the ground to a height of twenty to thirty centimeters, so that the sand fixation effect is the best."
"In addition, if possible, it is best to sprinkle grass seeds in the straw. After the grass grid is formed, fine sand can bury the seeds of the plant on the surface of the sand, and the plants can germinate and grow. In addition, it also has the effect of intercepting rainfall, especially for winter snowfall, which can be controlled in place without being blown away by the wind. Therefore, the moisture content of the sand layer is increased, and the moisture content of the 2-meter-thick sand layer increases from 1% to 3% to 4%. It is precisely because the grass grid sand barrier can fix the quicksand and improve the moisture conditions of the sand dunes, thereby protecting the growth of sand plants."
"Of course, you haven't studied it now, so it's good to be able to do this. Our research has been updated now. Not only does it use grass seeds, but mainly uses white lemon seeds from Ningxia, which will have a higher survival rate and better effect."
Don’t think it’s easy to find a plant seed. After the grass grid was invented, the experts searched for a long time in order to find suitable plants. They traveled all over the deserts and Gobi Deserts, and finally chose a variety of plants such as saxal trees and white lemon strips, and specially cultivated and planted them according to the situation in various places, and finally determined the planting of grass grids.
Because most of the deserts in Ningxia are fixed and semi-fixed sandy land, it is more suitable for the growth of white lemon strips, so most of the Ningxia choose white lemon strips instead of saxacum trees.
Of course, saxacum trees are not impossible to plant, but the effect is not as good as white lemon strips, and it is not as easy to obtain.
Ling Yinong and others immediately ignored Zhao Shucheng, but instead began to study the experiment of the grass grid and prepared to observe whether bacterial species can be interplanted or Cistanche deserticola. Professor Ling has never forgotten what Zhao Shucheng said about economic benefits.
