Chapter 322 Iron Peach Tree

A week later, the water from the distant Bohai Sea finally reached the edge of the desert. Lin Feng removed the fan and opened the blocked main channel. From here, the clear water finally entered the hinterland of the desert.

Three days later, the first batch of pumping wells erected were filled with clean water.

20 large spiders are surrounded by a pumping well, and more than 2000 workers are watching from a distance against the cold wind. Everyone wants to witness this miraculous moment together.

Lin Feng looked at the sky, the sky was clear today, there was no wind, and the sun, which had no temperature at first, seemed to be a little warmer.

"let's start!"

Following his order, Han Minghao pressed the start switch heavily.

hum-

A loud noise came from the pumping well, and a minute later, a column of water one meter thick shot straight into the sky.The clear water jets sprayed high into the sky, distributing into countless water droplets of different sizes, and then reflecting the brilliance of the sun, they fell on the surrounding sand dunes like crystal clear pearls.

Puff puff--

The water droplets fell on the dry sand, splashing a burst of dust, and the air was instantly filled with the smell of soil.

"Success!"

More than 2000 people cheered happily around the pumping well. Although they didn't know what the water meant, they were naturally filled with joy when they saw that their hard work for half a month had finally paid off.

The withered yellow desert is like a greedy devil, absorbing countless drops of water, and the place tens of meters around the pumping well soon becomes somewhat muddy.

The sand began to sink, and then condensed into a layer of skin on the surface, allowing the sprayed water to flow further afield.

"A preliminary estimate is that it will take at least a year for the water to penetrate a two-kilometer radius." Sima Lili said, "This is still without sandstorms, so what are you going to do next?"

"The mountain man has his own plan."

Lin Feng smiled mysteriously and asked someone to take out a large bag of seeds and a few bags of fertilizer.

These are the seeds of the vines in Linjia Village. In just one night, these seeds can germinate and grow to a length of one meter.

After half an hour, he turned off the water pump and asked the workers to plant seeds and fertilizer deep into the sand while the ground was not frozen.

After almost all the water-soaked places were placed with seeds, the sand near the surface had been frozen into hard lumps.In this way, the water pumped up will not continue to sink into the sand, but will flow farther through these frozen surfaces.

The more than 2000 workers are still divided into 20 groups, and the seeds are planted from the most northwest corner of the desert. The terrain here is slightly flat, so the water flows more evenly.Some remodeled special seeders were also brought in. After a day, almost one kilometer around the pumping well was filled with seeds and fertilizers.

The night was calm and calm, countless seeds broke through the hard shell and sprouted vigorous shoots, then drilled through the sand layer more than half a meter deep, broke through the hard ice shell and climbed to the ground.

Then in the dark night, it absorbs the water and nutrients under the ground, breathes the carbon dioxide in the air, grows by the moonlight in the sky, and strives to grow.

The next day, when Lin Feng took everyone to the side of the first pumping well, what he saw was a faint green.Countless vines were entangled and intertwined, covering the entire surrounding sand, and the sand was almost gone.

"God, how is this possible!"

Sima Lili came to the edge of the vine in disbelief, she thought she must be dazzled.

But the tender green vines are so solid, even in the cold air, a few small flower buds sporadically formed.

"As long as there is another day and night, these vines will cover the entire ground, and long roots will grow on the vines, and no matter how strong the wind is, they will not be able to pull them out of the ground."

"I don't know how to describe it anymore," Sima Lili finally said after concentrating for a long time, "I can only say that this is a miracle, which cannot be explained by science at all."

"Actually, this is science." Lin Feng felt that it would be too late to stop writing at this time. "It's just not physical science, but biological science."

"You... understand this too?"

"No, it's the credit of our Chief Director," Lin Feng joked, "It is said that he inadvertently hybridized this plant in order to cultivate a high-yield pasture for raising cattle."

Sima Lili couldn't believe it a million times in her heart. She had already seen that the big director was a cattle breeder.

But she didn't point it out, just asked with a smile: "I think, he should have hybridized something else?"

"That's for sure," Lin Feng continued nonsense in a serious manner, "in order to increase the yield of peaches, he also hybridized a tree. But this kind of tree will not bear peaches in the end, but will bear a strange fruit. , the shape is a bit like a peach, but unfortunately it is too hard to eat. But this kind of tree has a characteristic, they grow very fast, and their branches are strong enough, and they are also resistant to cold and drought, we call them iron peach trees.”

The Iron Peach Tree was a temporary name given by Lin Feng, and the tree he was talking about also came from the Universe Mall.This is a very special tree species that likes arid environments. The greater the temperature difference throughout the year, the higher its yield.

Its fruit is rich in a strange substance. As for what it is useful for, Lin Feng doesn't know yet. He only knows that in the universe mall, the price of this fruit is 100 yuan a piece.

According to the introduction, an iron peach tree can bear up to 20 fruits per month.

However, he is not 100% sure whether he can bear fruit after being transplanted here.But even if it doesn't work, it's good to transform the desert.

As for really not bearing fruit, he also has a backup plan.

After the iron peach trees completely cover the desert, he can clean up the vines on the ground and plant 40 square kilometers of lettuce. I believe that even if he only raises star silkworms, he can make a lot of money.

However, he believes that his luck will not be so bad, and even Hongyun tea has been planted, let alone this ordinary tree species.

While the two were talking, dozens of bundles of saplings had already been placed on the big spider.

The trunk of the iron peach tree is pitch black, and the leaves are dark green, covered with transparent cutin, which can retain its own moisture well.

Their root system is very developed, not only the roots, but also the branches are covered with root hairs, which is a bit like a banyan tree.

Moreover, these dense root hairs are covered with dense nodules.These root nodules have two functions, one is to store water, and the other is to synthesize nitrogen-containing compounds, just like soybeans, which can grow well without fertilization.

Therefore, it is only necessary to apply some special fertilizers when planting, so that they can grow quickly, and they will no longer need to be fertilized in the future, and they don't even need much water. Their root systems can penetrate hundreds of meters underground to absorb water.

This is the magic of creation, and it is a must-have weapon for transforming the desert.

"How tall can this iron peach tree grow?"

"About 30 meters, and the canopy is 50 meters."

To fill this 1000-kilometer-long and 400-kilometer-wide desert will require about 1.6 million trees. For this reason, Lin Feng will spend 5600 billion to buy saplings, plus special fertilizers, which has already exceeded the 6000 billion mark.

This is the largest investment in the entire desert reconstruction project.

It is estimated that apart from a country or a large consortium, only he can do this kind of super generous.

But the expected income is also quite astonishing. If all of them are rich, it can bring him more than 3000 billion in income every month.

Planting trees is much less efficient than planting vines, and today is a bit windy and sandy, and the sky is gloomy.According to the weather forecast, it is estimated that there will be a sandstorm tonight.

However, this is still in the northwest edge of the desert. This season is northwest wind, which will not have a great impact on these vines and trees.

"Let's call it a day," Lin Feng approached Han Minghao, "The weather is bad today, let's go back early and have a good meal."

"I have already ordered to go down."

"By the way, we still need a lot of people to plant trees. You can discuss this with the young people in our village."

"They asked me last night." Han Minghao was obviously very satisfied with these young people. "They asked me when I would increase the number of people. There are already many fellow villagers who want to come."

Planting trees is not a high-altitude operation, so it doesn't matter if you are older. Lin Feng plans to recruit another 1 people, and strive to complete the transformation of this desert as soon as possible.
