Chapter 1343: Construction maniac
“I’ll have to trouble boss Zheng with my brother’s surgery. ”
“I’ll go back and take a look at the x – ray. ” Zheng Ren did not comment.
It was no wonder that Song Ying had to live in the mortal world while this person had to eat sand in the Northwest. People had completely different temperaments and personalities.
Zhou chunyong knelt down in front of Zheng Ren, but Zheng Ren was still on his guard. The person in front of him was so direct that it made one’s hair stand on end, but Zheng Ren suddenly felt that he was interesting.
He didn’t feel any particular disgust, but a sense of pleasure that was similar to his.
Zheng Ren suddenly realized that he was not usually this kind of person. He had always thought that he was the kind of person who was very smart, but when he met fan Tao, he suddenly realized that he should also give people the same impression …
Neither of them was good at chatting, nor did they like to.
Thus, the journey that followed became lonely.
There were fewer and fewer cars around them. In the last hour, Zheng Ren did not see a single car.
Could it be that he had spoken of his country’s borders? Zheng Ren sometimes had such a thought.
They passed by a few small deserts and could vaguely see vehicles parked there. The travelers were taking pictures of the lone Desert Smoke. Even if it was just a shadow that looked like an ant, Zheng Ren could feel their joy.
Every time Zheng Ren felt that he was about to reach it, fan Tao would just drive past him silently, kicking up a cloud of yellow sand along the way.
“Mr. Fan, what kind of work do you do here?” Even a straight man like Zheng Ren felt embarrassed. After holding it in for a long time, he finally blurted out this sentence.
“Repair the road.” Fan Tao said.
“Railway?”
“Yes.”
Zheng Ren knew that building a railway in the desert was a very tiring job. Hearing fan Tao’s words, he felt a sense of respect for him.
In inner and outer Mongolia, not only were there cows and sheep when the wind blew, but there were also many deserts.
“Maowusu desert?” Zheng Ren asked.
“Yes.” Fan Tao nodded. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with Zheng Ren knowing the name of the maowusu desert.
“After the founding of the country, the first desert railway was built, the Baolan Railway, which was said to be impossible to build. The amount of work needed to defend and stabilize the sand is countless times greater than the amount of work needed to build a railway in the southeast. ”
Zheng Ren nodded. His mind was filled with respect as he thought of the workers who built the railway in the wind and sand.
“Later, the country began to build a gan – Wu communication line from the Bao – LAN Railway’s Gantang station to the LAN – Xin Railway’s Wuwei South Station. Although the GaN – Wu railway is only 172 kilometers long, most of its routes pass through the tenggri desert, so it’s very difficult. ”
“Your mask is …” Zheng Ren probed.
Fan Tao was silent.
Zheng Ren knew that some things could not be asked or said, so it was better not to ask....
“There’s a civilian train on the Lince railway. If it’s the season when the wind and sand are light, it’s not bad to take the train and see the smoke in the desert and the HU Yanglin in the desert.” Fan Tao also felt a little awkward, so he tried to make the conversation a little gentler.
Two straight men were talking about building a railway in the desert, which would fill one’s mouth with sand.
“What technique did you use? Slight irrigation?” Zheng Ren asked.
This was a technique that could save 90% more water than the drip irrigation technique invented in Israel, and it used the principle of membrane penetration.
After the semi – permeable membrane was filled with water, the water would seep through the pipes according to the water content of the surrounding soil.
The moisture pipes were buried underground, and crops, shrubs, and forests could grow on them. This was how the maowusu desert was turned into an oasis.
Fan Tao nodded. He was surprised that a doctor like Zheng Ren knew about these “nonsense”.
“How much space have you sorted out?”
“About 20%. In the past, they had always used Qiao MU’s water – consuming items, but the results were not good. With the micro – Moisture technology, it’s much faster. ” Fan Tao said,”it’s just to stabilize the sand and build roads. We didn’t build so many.” If the desert becomes a fertile land, I’m afraid the heavens will be angry. ”
Zheng Ren laughed.
Fan Tao was a person who knew what he was doing.
The Earth’s desert occupied a third of the non – Ocean surface and was extremely huge. Due to the increasing population, the desert had become a place coveted by humans.
If the desert became normal land, it would need to absorb 200- 300 atmospheric carbon. Therefore, the atmospheric carbon content would drop sharply, and ocean carbon would be released, but it should not be enough.
The photosynthesis of plants was blocked, and the greenhouse effect was reversed. The plants on earth withered and returned to the desert. To change this process, a huge amount of fossil fuels had to be burned at the same time to maintain a dynamic balance of atmospheric carbon.
However, this was an extreme situation, and Zheng Ren was just thinking about it. It was impossible for all the deserts in the world to turn into oases at the same time.
In order to build a railway, the construction fanatic had forced plants to grow in the desert, turning the maowusu desert into an oasis. It could only be described as heaven – defying.
But behind them, how many people were like fan Tao, sleeping in the open, squatting in the desert and eating sand?
Zheng Ren was rather emotional.
After a simple exchange, the two of them fell silent.
“How long more?” Zheng Ren finally asked after a long silence.
“There’s still half an hour left. ” Fan Tao didn’t look at the time. Instead, he squinted at the sun and said in a deep voice,””After that, we’ll enter the sea of sand. We’ll reach it in an hour.”
‘How far is that …’ Zheng Ren was speechless.
An hour and a half later, he saw a convoy of more than a dozen cars in a semicircle from afar. A large bonfire was burning, and a familiar figure seemed to be drinking by the bonfire.
“This area is relatively quiet. There’s basically no one here.” “At night,” fan Tao said,”there are down jackets, sleeping bags, and Hot Toys in the car. Be careful to keep warm.”
The instructions were more detailed.
After all, he was not a professional. Even though Zheng Ren had seen some fragments of knowledge, he could not empathize with them.
The car remained silent.
Along the way, Zheng Ren did not feel embarrassed and even had a better impression of fan Tao.
After all, he was so quiet. The two men were in the car and were not familiar with each other. If they talked too much, Zheng Ren would feel very awkward.
When they arrived at the bonfire, fan Tao did not drift, nor did he make any fancy driving moves. He just quietly parked the car at the edge of the convoy.
“President Zheng!” Chu Yan Zhi stood up and extended his arm to greet him. Blackie had already run over happily. He was limping, but his speed was still very fast.
Zheng Ren laughed.
He opened the car door and got out. The Northwest wind blew on his face, bringing sand with it like small knives.
He wondered what was so fun about this place.
Beside the bonfire, Su Yun was holding a bottle of wine. She sat on the ground and waved the bottle in her hand at Zheng Ren as a greeting. Then, he raised his head and took a big gulp.
Fan Tao’s expression did not look good. Zheng Ren caught a glimpse of it and felt that something was wrong.”Mr. Fan, what’s wrong?”
“That’s because he’s bored out of his mind. If he drinks it like this, he might have to go back to the hospital in Westwood after drinking one bottle.” Fan Tao didn’t stop him, but said in a deep voice.
“Oh, there shouldn’t be a problem. Let’s go and take a look.” Zheng Ren squatted down with a smile and touched hei Zi’s head.
Hei Zi’s breath had a fishy smell. It seemed like he had eaten a lot of mutton.
“Are you good?” Zheng Ren asked Blackie with a smile.
Blackie rubbed his head against Zheng Ren’s hand with an obedient look. Those who didn’t know would think that it was a pet dog raised at home.
“A military dog?” Fan Tao frowned and asked.
“Yes.” Zheng Ren held the dog and replied happily,””During the earthquake relief, Blackie was one of the first rescue dogs to go in. His leg was injured, and after he retired, sister Lin used her connections to handle the procedures and brought him back.”
Fan Tao was silent as he looked at the black stone.
Blackie was a little alert, but Zheng renkong was comfortable, so he gradually became lazy.
“So be it. It’s time to enjoy life.” Zheng Ren said,”I didn’t dare to let go in the neighborhood. I was afraid that I would bite someone’s dog. Especially those dogs who F * ck around all day. If they really get bitten, their families will come and beat them up. If they hurt the person, then there’s no way to explain it. ”
“It’s good to come here. At least Blackie can run as he wants. Even though it can’t run fast, and it can’t run anymore. ”
Listening to Zheng Ren’s unhurried words, fan Tao’s face also showed a trace of gentleness.
“Boss, stop playing with the dog. My family is looking for you.” Su Yun shouted loudly, his voice spreading throughout the wilderness. Coupled with the fact that he had smothered the donkey, he was rather bold.
“There’s a signal here?” Zheng Ren patted hei Zi’s belly, then stood up, took out his phone, and took a look.
“This side needs a satellite phone.” Fan Tao said.
“It’s a call from sister Lin. Director Kong called directly. ” Su Yun said.
Zheng Ren walked over. Xie Yiren was barbecuing skewers with Chu yanran, and her face was red. Seeing that Zheng Ren had arrived, she found a skewer and handed it to him.
After taking a bite, her mouth was full of oil, stimulating her taste buds.
“Boss Zheng, they’re looking for you. They said Dr. Olsen flew over from Sweden.” Lin Jiaojiao said with a smile.
“Dr. Olsen?”
“Dr. Olsen from the Royal Sweden Academy of Sciences, the chairman of the physics Award Committee.”
“Why is he looking for me? Surgery?” Zheng Ren was stunned.
If it was such a person, he should have informed the Department, but … No, professor Mehal told him that someone wanted to find him to do a physical model of turbulence experiment.
It was probably Dr. Olsen.
“Boss Zheng, use my phone to video call.” “He called me every ten minutes or so,” Lin Jiaojiao replied.”He’s been rushing me until now.”
“Satellite phone video call. That’s quite expensive, isn’t it?” Zheng Ren took the phone with a smile.
“The fishermen along the coast use satellite phones to fish. It’s not that expensive, but it’s a little rare.” Lin Jiaojiao said.
Zheng Ren didn’t start the video call immediately. Instead, he sat down next to Xie Yiren.
“President Zheng, you’re so busy that you even have things to do when you come out to play.” Chu yanran asked.
“No, I didn ‘t.” “It’s a small matter,” Zheng Ren said with a smile.”It’s a small matter.”
“Tsk.” Chu Yanzhi appeared behind her.”I was going to take a family photo this afternoon, but you’re not here.”
That was quite a pity.
Zheng Ren smiled and leaned against Xie Yiren. All the fatigue in his body had disappeared.
“Go do your work first. When you’re done, I’ll roast some meat for you.” Xie Yiren touched Zheng Ren’s head and said gently.
“Yes.” Zheng Ren chuckled and rubbed his head against the little Yiren’s hand like a black chess piece before standing up.
“Let’s go to the tent. It’s windy outside. ” Lin Jiaojiao led the way and brought Zheng Ren to a tent.”Just call Department Director Kong. He, Deputy Director Yuan, and director ye are accompanying Dr. Olsen.”
Zheng Ren smiled and nodded to show that he understood.

[Note: the moisturizing technique is one of my favorite techniques.] The changes in the mauwusu desert had nothing to do with the micro – moistening technology. Fan Tao was also made up. He was just a corner of the strong figures who built bridges and paved roads.
