On June 5th, the fourteenth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao, who had been rocking on the underground steam train for three days and three nights, finally arrived at the Pass Railway Station in front of the two-way portal at the end of the underground world.
At the pass, Qu Mao, as always, expressed condolences to the guard soldiers stationed at the pass at the end of the underground world, and then came to Xirong City through the two-way portal of the underground world.
Xirong City has been much more lively than when it was first built. After all, it is the first town built in the desert center of the Western Continent, and it is also the bridgehead connecting the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory with the Western Continent. Except for the initial deployment of a battalion of 500 firearms troops Except for the soldiers and 30 elite intelligence personnel, those who came from the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory would first wait in Xirong City for the desert climate to be suitable for travel.
Moreover, the Marquis of Shaliu has also arranged a total of 10,000 Firearms Army soldiers to be stationed in Xirong City. In addition to the visitors from the Holy Land, most of the personnel who support the Marquis of Shaliu in various fields will first adapt to the desert environment in Xirong City. So after Qu Mao entered Xirong City, he was a little uncomfortable at first.
Qu Mao, who lived directly in the city lord's mansion of Xirong City, did not stop to rest. After three days and three nights on the steam train, Qu Mao had already had enough rest.
After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion of Xirong City, Qu Mao first went to the backyard to see the five tree saplings with first signs of life that had been taken care of by the soldiers of the garrisoned Firearms Army.
These five plant seedlings are not native plants in the desert of the Western Continent, nor are they the tumbleweed or camel thorn shrubs recommended by the lord of Liandao Green City in the later stage, but the drought-resistant plant seedlings originally provided by Green City.
After careful inspection, Qu Mao found that the five plant seedlings still retained signs of life and had grown new leaves. Although the new leaves were few and had not yet fully unfolded, Qu Mao was already very relieved.
Apparently during the three months since Qu Mao left, the Firearms Army soldiers or elite intelligence personnel stationed in Xirong City were still carefully caring for the five plant seedlings.
After that, Qu Mao checked the seedlings of two shrubs, tumbleweed and camel thorn, which he and Liu Qianhui had planted after they came here in January.
Fortunately, among the dozens of tumbleweed and camel thorn shrub seedlings, there are more than 30 trees that retain signs of life, and the area where Qu Mao sprinkled the seeds also sprouted tender green sprouts, which made Qu Mao feel abnormal Excitement, even if the shrub seedlings of tumbleweed and camel thorn, or the newly sprouted tumbleweed and camel thorn, the growth is not very good, but at least Qu Mao saw the new green.
After carefully taking care of the new branches and leaves of these two kinds of shrubs, Qu Mao found other shrubs and weeds that grew relatively well, and planted a large area in the backyard of the Lord's Mansion of Xirong City, at least 60 square meters range of meters.
Finding a staff member of the City Lord's Mansion, Qu Mao pointed to the well-growing green plants and asked, "There is no nursery enclosure in this area, why are they growing so well?"
The staff member glanced at the green plant Qu Mao was pointing at, bowed his hands and saluted: "My lord, that area is native shrubs and weeds transplanted from outside the city of Yuexia, and the green plant technical experts of the Green City asked us not to build it. Fence.
But it is also strange that these transplanted plants only need to be watered once in the morning and evening to survive.
It's a pity that there are not many green plants on the periphery of Yuexia City. The green plant expert team of Green City said that it is currently a trial planting and cannot destroy the green plant coverage outside the Green City. It will further ration the city of Xirong.
However, after the planting of the city lord's mansion survived, the soldiers and residents of Xirong City came to watch it every day, so the city lord ordered some to plant under the southwest wall of Xirong City, and sent a company of firearms soldiers to guard day and night to prevent unknown situations. Warriors or residents watered the plants too much.
It is also growing well there now, and a large number of soldiers and residents go to take care of it every day, which can be regarded as the spiritual belief of the soldiers and civilians in the city. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Well, the native plants should be more able to adapt to the temperature difference between day and night here, after all, Yuexia City is less than 150 kilometers away from here.
and other experts from the green city green planting technology team have cultivated more native shrubs and weed seedlings or seeds, and then we will promote them in various towns.
These green plants will not only be the belief of the soldiers and civilians of Xirong City in the future, but will also become the belief of all the soldiers and civilians of the entire Shaliuhou Kingdom. "
Whether it was the first five plant seedlings, or the tumbleweed and camel thorn planted in January, or the current native shrubs and weeds, Qu Mao believes that it is good for green plants to survive and grow, at least to a large extent. Improve the climate in the desert area of Shaliuhou Kingdom.
Sandstorms and temperature differences between day and night, Qu Mao believes that these are life-threatening severe weather for the soldiers and civilians of Shaliuhou State. Green plants still have a relatively large advantage in resisting wind and sand.
After a brief exchange with the staff of the City Lord's Mansion, Qu Mao ignored the harsh environment and walked to the southwest wall of Xirong City to look at the small piece of native plants. Sure enough, many soldiers and civilians of Xirong City surrounded the small piece of green Watching from the outside of the plants, there are also dozens of firearms soldiers armed with live ammunition to protect them. Only the soldiers and civilians are allowed to watch from a distance, and the soldiers and civilians are not allowed to touch these plants.
Sure enough, in the desert, a trace of greenery represents hope, and Qu Mao also hopes that a tree similar to the six-meter-high tree on the edge of Yueya Spring in Yuexia City can grow in Xirong City.
The traces of greenery in Xirong City at least represent that the efforts of the Marquis of Shaliu in the past half a year have achieved a certain degree of results.
Before leaving Xirong City, Qu Mao approached the city lord of Xirong City appointed by Liu Qianhui, communicated with the follow-up development plan of Xirong City, and had Qu Mao go to Shaliu City and other towns to protect the plan.
On the evening of June 5, the 14th year of Tianxuan, when the temperature in the desert began to cool, Qu Mao, under the **** of 100 fourth-rank camel riders, set off for Shaliu City. For other towns, it is expected to arrive at Yuexia City around 9 am on June 6.
After leaving Qu Mao, Liu Qianhui basically did not leave Yuexia City, and stayed in Yuexia City to preside over the affairs of the Marquis of Shaliu and the front-line confrontation affairs.
Of course, the Fulu Empire has also officially sent troops to the Fulu Empire and has officially sent troops to the Marquis of Erstan, but the Fulu Empire has not yet directly contacted the Marquis of Shaliu.
Originally, Fuzhi, the emperor of the Fulu Empire, hoped to meet Qu Mao quietly in Yuexia City, but Qu Mao has been inspecting the independent territories of Emperor Yi's territory, and the two did not meet.
