Chapter 1463 Continue to plant grass
On the morning of February 8th, the fifteenth year of Tianxuan, after Qu Mao woke up from the city lord's mansion of Yuexia City, he urgently summoned the green plant technical experts sent by the Green Plant Research Institute of Shaliu City to Yuexia City.
On February 8th, the fifteenth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao, Shi Buhui, and Liu Yifei arrived at Yuexia City under the **** of 100 camel riders. Because the time of entering the city was too late, the journey along the way was very difficult. It was hard work, so Qu Mao decided to sleep first before talking.
After the green plant technical experts stationed in Yuexia City came to the city lord's mansion, they reported to Qu Mao the specific situation of the Gobi Ranch, and told Qu Mao that in each of the nine garrison fortresses, there were 3 green plant technical experts sitting in the fort. , Qu Mao doesn't need to worry about any problems in the Gobi Ranch.
After Qu Mao knew this situation, he notified Shi Buhui, and the two embarked on a journey to inspect the nine permanent garrison fortresses together.
When Qu Mao and Shi Buhui came to the nearest garrison fortress to Yuexia City—that is, Near Moon Fortress, Qu Mao involuntarily slowed down, frowning and inspecting it carefully.
Shi Buhui noticed the change in Qu Mao's expression, and said, "My lord, this is the Jinyue Fortress, the closest to Yuexia City, and it's the safest fortress to garrison troops.
The garrison soldiers here are mainly to sow camel pasture seeds and water the camel pasture. Previously, 5,000 Firearms Army soldiers were stationed, and the subordinates have ordered another 5,000 Firearms Army soldiers to be stationed, but it is estimated that it will take about a week to arrive. "
Qu Mao nodded, still slowing down, carefully inspecting the Jinyue fortress, and after a round of inspection, Qu Mao said to Shi Buhui: "Shi Buhui, I vaguely remember that the fresh water that was first exposed here was just A small pool of 2 square meters and a depth of no more than 50 centimeters, please help me see if it has expanded a lot now?"
Shi Buhui smiled and said: "My lord, let alone the time when 1,000 people were stationed in the fortress in recent months, it has been almost half a year now that 5,000 Firearms soldiers were stationed.
The daily fresh water supply for the 5,000 garrisons was provided by the Marquis of Shaliu, and they did not use the fresh water in the fortress in recent months. Since October last year, the soldiers in the garrison have collected domestic sewage to water the camel grass outside the sandbag wall. The groundwater level around the fortress has risen in recent months.
So the scale of fresh water here will naturally expand, and now the depth has reached one meter, and the area of fresh water is close to 6 square meters.
The subordinates believe that with the newly mobilized 5,000 garrisons stationed in the fortress near the month, and the camel pasture seeds are sown in a wider range, and the camel pasture is watered farther, the freshwater area here will increase. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "This is a good thing, and it can be regarded as one of the results of the livable transformation. Go and call the three green plant technology experts stationed in the Jinyue Fortress."
When the three green planting experts who had been stationed in Jinyue Fortress for a long time came to Qu Mao, Qu Mao kryptonized 1 ton of camel pasture seeds from the cheating mall and handed them over to the three green planting technical experts, asking them to expand the camel pasture planting range. Expand to the outer three kilometers of the sandbag wall of the Jinyue Fortress. After all, the Jinyue Fortress is the safest garrison fortress, so Qu Mao's requirements are relatively high.
The green plant technical expert said with some hesitation: "My lord, the main fresh water we use to plant camel grass on the Gobi is the domestic sewage accumulated daily by the soldiers stationed in the Gobi.
Qu Mao smiled and said: "It's okay, I have asked Shi Buhui to increase the number of troops stationed in the fortress in recent months, so some soldiers are on duty, and the other part of the soldiers can go out to water farther away. It is not a big problem to rotate every few days.
Besides, the Near Moon Fortress is the closest to the Moon City, so there is a high probability that there will be no specific military tasks, so follow this requirement. "
After leaving the fortress for nearly a month, Qu Mao and Shi Buhui continued to inspect the permanent garrison fortresses one by one. After three or four months of continuously using domestic sewage to irrigate the camel pastures outside the garrison fortress, the original fresh water sources in the sandbag walls of these garrison fortresses are expanded to varying degrees.
In many fortresses, the fresh water source has more than doubled. After all, the 5,000 garrison soldiers consume a lot of fresh water every day, and this fresh water will not be completely consumed, but will be accumulated by the garrison soldiers to water the camel pasture. The fresh water for these irrigations cannot be completely used up.
So after the domestic sewage is watered, it will converge to the fresh water source of the fortress through the underground sand layer, which will expand the fresh water source in the fortress.
Originally, the nine garrison forts were located in areas with natural green plants. Under the protection of green plants, although the area of these fresh water sources has been expanded, the amount of evaporation has not increased significantly, and it has become a magic weapon for gathering fresh water in the Gobi area. .
When Qu Mao and Shi Buhui went all the way to the nearest fortress, the newly expanded Firearms Army soldiers were also deployed one after another. Jiaxu also arranged for special personnel to transport them to the nine fortresses every day according to the increase in the number of Firearms Army soldiers in each fortress. fresh water resources.
While on the road, Qu Mao also found that there were occasional water stains on the water transportation path chosen by Jiaxu.
After all, the waterwheels used by the Marquis of Shaliu to transport water are made of wood. If the hero’s backpack was not used to transport fresh water, some water would splash out more or less along the way, no matter how careful the soldiers were.
So Qu Mao came up with a whim: and immediately discussed with green plant technology experts whether it is possible to scatter some camel pasture seeds on the side of the freshwater transportation road.
As for whether these grass camel grass seeds can germinate and grow, Qu Mao thinks that it can follow the fate, and it is good if they can germinate and grow, and it doesn't matter if they can't germinate. Splashes are extremely limited.
But the green plant technology experts believe that Qumao can try it, but they can't have too high expectations, and there must be enough camel grass seeds.
Qu Mao smiled. Since camel grass seeds were respawned in the cheat mall, Qu Mao left 1 ton of camel grass seeds for each of the nine permanent garrison fortresses when he inspected the nine permanent garrison fortresses.
Using cheating value to purchase camel herbage seeds in the cheating mall, the price is outrageously cheap, so when the Firearms Army soldiers stationed in Xirong City asked Qu Mao for camel herbage seeds, Qu Mao directly gave 1 ton.
In the recent fortress, Qu Mao boldly produced 10 tons of camel herbage seeds, told the green plant technical experts to spread them casually, and emphasized that he hoped that there would be camel herbage growing within 2 kilometers from the sandbag wall of each fortress, so as to form A real Gobi pasture.
The green plant technical expert who has enough camel grass seeds, patted his chest and made a promise to Qu Mao.
