Chapter six hundred and forty-two wetlands

The large excavator weighs amazingly and does heavy work. The engine emphasizes torque and ignores horsepower, so the speed will naturally not be too fast. Even if a special "sand chain" is installed, it can drive at a maximum speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour in the desert.

The 150-kilometer journey took four or five hours. Even if there was air conditioning in the cab, I couldn't help but sweat and dizzy. The excavator drivers who arrived at the test oasis were in a bad mood. Even if there was a temptation to have a high salary, they were still messy and had a few words in scattered responses, "Don't worry, boss, we will certainly work hard after getting the money...";

"I have been driving an excavator for more than ten years. I have done all kinds of projects, big and small, and never had any problems...";

"It's so hot here, but since you're paid enough, it doesn't matter, it's time to do a good job...", he rushed into the cool oasis.

The hot light and extremely dry environment in the desert are natural enemies of all plants, but when the water supply is sufficient, the situation will undergo a strange reversal.

During the day, the shockingly intense long-term and intense light will cause the photosynthesis of the plants to proceed rapidly and grow rapidly so rapidly that ordinary people can't imagine;

At night, the harsh climate will cause the surface of the plants to undergo severe tempering, and plants that can survive will naturally have strong vitality.

At this time, the harvest of the six groups of LS Group, which ventured to the major agricultural states on the federal earth's territory, had been screened and planted on the experimental oasis on a small area. Several fruits and vegetables with short growth cycles have already had a gratifying harvest. Although the number is not large, the harvest is enough for 40 or 50 people to eat it every day.

There are only more than 30 scientific teams studying soil and water conservation on the oasis, including farmers, chefs, construction workers, and resident doctors. There are only ten excavator drivers who can provide sufficient supply.

The wheat-scented bread is mixed with fried browned pork chops, and it is served with lettuce dipped in clear river water to remove greasyness. Finally, it drinks a bottle of cold and refreshing dark beer to cool off. Although the lunch is simple, it is very delicious. After satisfyingly filling the excavator drivers, they have changed their fatigue not long ago and become energetic.

It was not until this moment that these simple-minded and well-developed guys noticed that there seemed to be no excavator in the oasis that could be seen through with the naked eye.

He squatted generously by the river, "Wow..." and picked up the clear water and rushed to his fat face to get rid of the sweat stains and the greasiness at the corner of his mouth. The tallest strong man in the driver smeared his face with his sleeves, put on his safety helmet, and shouted at the short and fat employer squatting beside him: "Boss, it's 1:30 p.m. Now we can start work."

For the next four hours, you talked and we worked, although I don’t think there is anything to do here.”

"John, I'm not the boss here anymore. Wait for me a while and I'll ask the real boss what you should do." Charlie, who had a 'picnic' by the river with the rude drivers, stood up, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face clean, and strode towards the largest simple house by the river.

Before he could arrive in front of the door, the tempered plastic door of the prefabricated room suddenly opened, and a slightly tired look could be seen as two black-haired young men with shallow dark circles on their faces walked out.

"Boss, ten excavators have arrived, and the workers can work at any time." Charlie accelerated and greeted him, coming to Zhang Lisheng and said respectfully.

"Very good Charlie, let them start digging on the edge of the oasis. The deeper the digging, the better." Zhang Lisheng, who had just completed the long casting, casually ordered.

The order was exactly the same as Charlie imagined, so the president of ‘LS’ nodded with a respectful attitude, turned around and returned to the drivers, and loudly conveyed the young man’s instructions.

Hearing this incredible order, the drivers whispered and said, "Digging sand, the deeper the better. Do you want to dig out oil in the desert?"

"You are such an idiot. Now half of Noah's cars are powered by electricity. Oil will soon become worthless and not as good as water...

Ah, water, they must have wanted to dig out springs in the sand. Since there is an oasis here, there must be a water source. This idea is really smart."

"Oh, God, you're calling others an idiot. If the desert around the oasis could definitely dig out water, would the desert still exist? Use your brain, guys..." But since you have accepted the employer's high salary, you don't understand it, you still have to do your job.

As we chatted, we walked to the excavator, and the drivers began to discuss the operation methods seriously. After forming a tacit understanding, ten steel machines soon started to start on the edge of the test oasis, pushing the huge shovels flatly to start flattening the sand dunes.

Digging in sand is much more efficient than in ordinary soil. In a short while, deep ravines appeared in the desert. Under the clever cross-operation of excavators galloping across the road, a square pit with a side length of more than kilometers was gathered.

One meter, two meter, three meter... As more and more dry yellow sand is pushed out of the bottom of the pit, the height of the deep pit gradually increases, forming a landform similar to a dry lake.

The loud noise of the joint business of ten excavators has attracted the idea of ​​the workers who built board houses on the oasis and the farmers who watered and fertilized various good crops. They obviously also think that digging the desert is absurd thing. After work, they can't help but look around quietly, and talk in a low voice as a topic of conversation.

A freshly built board house roof, a white man with a naked upper body exposed solid muscles and shattered golden hair was doing the final debugging of the solar charger;

While muttering to his companion who was watching over the motor for him, "Look, Charles, those excavators can no longer see the 'heads'. I guess the pit I dug out is at least six meters long. It seems that we will take a detour next time we go home."

"It's a hell, Robert, don't worry about the excavator for the time being. I beg you to put on your uniform first, tie a safety rope, and stop causing us to be deducted from pay." The underground was meticulously wearing canvas work clothes in the hot weather, looking at the wrinkles on his face, the elderly worker raised his head and lowered his voice.

"Oh, man, please don't be excited. The height of this board house is less than 250 cm. I can jump directly. Do you really think it's necessary to tie a safety rope..."

"Damn it, this is the law. If you work more than 150 centimeters away from the ground, you must take protective measures..." The old worker on the ground shouted impatiently, but the slow answer from his young companions, "But this law is unreasonable. We all know that those politicians and parliamentarians are sensational white, white, white..."

He looked into the distance in a daze. The strong man with his upper body on the roof was stiff, his mouth was unconsciously wide open and suddenly stood up for no reason, but he slid and fell to the ground with a "bang".

"God, Ronaldo, are you okay? Don't move around, try to move your fingers first.

Can you move your fingers? Move it..." The incident happened too suddenly. After a few seconds, Charles realized that an accident had occurred to his work partner. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and loudly reminded Robert of his own injury.

The shouting aroused the ideas of the people who worked hard nearby. Everyone surrounded him intuitively, and some people shouted, "Doctor, doctor, some were injured, some were injured..." and ran to the medical room in the distance.

But to everyone's surprise, Robert, who was regarded as the injured, sat up suddenly in a gaze surrounded by concern, and said with his eyes straight: "Spray, fountain, Charles, I saw the fountain on the roof.

This is really incredible. I might have been hallucinated by the heat of this haunting weather.”

"Fountain, what kind of fountain? This is a desert. You won't hurt your head, right? Don't move me first, don't move..." the old worker said nervously.

At this time, a more surprising scene suddenly appeared. Robert was stunned and shouted while the doctor was carrying the first aid kit, "Go aside quickly and give the injured enough room to breathe..." As he hurriedly ran towards him, he jumped up from the ground and ran to the huge pit on the edge of the oasis hundreds of meters away at an astonishing speed.

After a few seconds, standing by the pit, the strong man jumped and jumped like a child, so excited that he shouted uncontrollably, "Fountain, it's really a fountain. I didn't have any hallucinations. These excavators dug out a swamp, and there were fountains everywhere, everywhere, everywhere!"

It is hard for people who do not have experience living in desert cities to imagine the importance of sandy residents to water. Water represents prosperity, hope, the future, life, and all the beauty of everything in the desert...

The crazy performance of the red-backed man in the distance caused everyone in the Oasis to run towards the huge pit, and everything they saw afterwards made them almost unable to believe their eyes.

The ground, which was supposed to be dry sand under the deep pit, was covered with fertile black and yellow wet mud flowing everywhere with the water flow. The four or five-meter-high spring water squirted down, turning the mud into a swamp.

Ten excavators trekked hard in the wetlands, as slow as snails, but the drivers driving them were all like heroes, cheering loudly with excitement.

"Boss, it seems that you have created another great miracle. This is indeed 'big news'." Standing in the window of the specially made simple house, looking at the cheerful crowd, Charlie turned his head and looked at the black-haired young man swaying comfortably on the rocking chair, and complimented sincerely.
