Chapter 1437 The Desert Mine Starts Mining
On November 15th, the 14th year of Tianxuan, the camel pasture seeds planted by Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui in Xirong City only sprouted seedlings. The seedlings have not grown to 5 cm high. The time did not reach a month, so he had to leave Xirong City.
Fortunately, after less than a month of hard work, obvious results can be seen. At least most of the areas in Xirong City have been filled with spots of green.
Within the city walls of Rijin Xirong City, there are more or less camel pasture seedlings in the open space between buildings, but some places grow densely, and some places grow relatively sparsely. The method of sewage matters.
Originally, Qu Mao planned to replant another wave of camel herb seeds, but the camel herb seeds left for the lord of the green city did not even fill one-tenth of the material warehouse, and all the camel herb seeds in the cheating mall had been purchased by Qu Mao empty.
The soldiers and civilians of Xirong City were full of enthusiasm after receiving Liu Qianhui's call. Unfortunately, even though all the soldiers and civilians poured domestic sewage into areas where the growth was relatively sparse, the camel pasture seeds planted in the early days were uneven in thickness and basically had no chance of germination. It was also killed by the large temperature difference between day and night in Xirong City, and it couldn't sprout at all.
Even without Liu Qianhui's suggestion, the soldiers and civilians of Xirong City who have lived in the desert for more than half a year generally cherish fresh water, even though Xirong City provides enough fresh water for the soldiers and civilians every day.
Before planting camel herbage seeds, the soldiers and civilians in Xirong City usually put domestic sewage to rest, and then took out the fresh water deposited on it for secondary use. Now they can water camel herbage seeds, which is naturally supported by all the soldiers and civilians.
Although the germination of camel pasture seeds in Xirong City varies from good to bad, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui think that it is already very remarkable that Xirong City can achieve this level in less than a month.
Of course, the effect is also very obvious. Although the camel grass seedlings in Xirong City generally have not grown to more than 5 cm in height, the temperature difference between day and night in Xirong City has further narrowed, and the little greenery has brought infinite hope to the soldiers and civilians in Xirong City.
There is basically no business or work to do in Xirong City, so a large number of soldiers and civilians watching camel grass seedlings are found on the streets of Xirong City every day.
Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui had to temporarily suspend the livable transformation work of Xirong City, and hastily confessed to the city lord of Xirong City to take good care of these newly cultivated camel pasture seedlings, but Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui needed to rush to Metal City.
Minmetals City, Iron Mine City, and Metal City have been preparing for more than three months. The four metal mines located in the three towns are finally going to be mined. Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui have always attached great importance to the development of the metal mines in Shaliuhou State. Development and processing, so when the metal mine starts mining, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui must participate and hold a ceremony.
There is only one metal mine in Metal City, but a total of four metal mines in Metal City, Minmetals City, and Iron Ore City have started mining. Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui still put the mining ceremony in Metal City, mainly the iron smelting factory on the metal floor And the steelmaking factory has completed the infrastructure construction. As long as the metal ore is mined from the metal mine, it can immediately start smelting metal directly.
Moreover, the technicians of the logistics department have also placed the construction location of the new military industrial park that Xuande will build in Shaliuhou State in Metal City, and are currently recruiting more than 1,000 residents of the city to build the factory buildings of the new military industrial park.
The new military industrial park built by the Logistics Department in the Metal City basically uses reinforced concrete buildings as factories and staff dormitories. Therefore, the more than 1,000 employed city residents in the Metal City are basically built in the way of on-duty construction. If It is not that wind and sand are encountered during the shift change, which will basically not affect the construction progress of the logistics department.
After Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui came to Metal City, they inspected the metal mines where the ore was to be mined, as well as the production bases of the iron and steel companies, and went to the construction site of the new military industrial park.
Then Qu Mao summoned the heads of the iron smelting company and the steel making company to the city lord's mansion of Metal City, and told them overnight how to use the industrial wastewater from iron smelting and steel making to water desert plants. It has been used very skillfully in the desert outside Shacheng. Fortunately, the managers of iron smelting companies and steelmaking companies have gone to the desert near Shacheng to learn.
The camel pasture seeds in the cheating mall have all been purchased by Qu Mao. Even so, Xirong City has only left camel pasture seeds in less than one material warehouse. Qu Mao's budget.
However, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui were digging in their backpacks, and they managed to find five packs of camel herbage seeds totaling less than 15 catties. Immediately, Qu Mao poured them all out overnight, and soaked them in clean water.
On the morning of November 16, the 14th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui first went to the only metal mine in Metal City, and organized a simple but grand mining ceremony, encouraging the mine owners to mine the metal mine well, and giving the miners adequate safety and security of living.
After the opening ceremony was held, Qu Mao called on the mine owner, entrepreneur, person in charge of the iron smelting company, the person in charge of the steelmaking company, and the representative of the logistics department stationed in Metal City, and a group of people came together between the iron smelting company and the steelmaking company In front of a clearing about 100 meters wide and 500 meters long.
Afterwards, soldiers of the Imperial Guard brought over the camel herbage seeds that Qu Mao had soaked in fresh water the night before. Qu Mao personally mixed the sand into the wooden tray where the camel herb seeds were soaked, and then called everyone to mix the seeds together. Camel pasture seeds mixed with sand are scattered all over the 50,000 square meters of open space.
After sowing, Qu Mao told the heads of the two companies that the 15 catties of camel pasture seeds were irrigated by the industrial waste water from their two companies.
Principals of the two companies expressed to Qu Mao that they would do their utmost to ensure that the open space was covered with camel pasture, so that the camels sent to Metal City in the future could directly graze on this open space.
Since Metal City is still in the center of the desert, and it is far away from other towns in Shaliuhou Kingdom, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui hurriedly left for the city after holding the post-mining ceremony before the temperature in the desert rose. Xirong City, even if the danger on the road is greater, it can save some time at least.
