Chapter 1,727 Artificial Rain Increase

Zhao Xinyu nodded. Artificial rainfall requires a catalyst to condense water vapor in the air. Generally, silver iodide is needed. Silver iodide has very little harm to the environment. If it were in other areas, Gu Xiangang and the others might not talk about it.

But they all know that the species planted by Zhao Xinyu have very high environmental requirements. The desert is different from other areas. The precipitation in the desert itself is small. If the precipitation increases for a long time, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the ecology of this area. This is also Gu Xiangang's concerns.

Zhao Xinyu's eyes flickered a few times, "Your suggestion is good. I will go back and study it with Grandpa and the others. Maybe we can use pharmaceuticals synthesized from traditional Chinese medicine as a catalyst."

For Zhao Xinyu, the lack of water in the desert has no impact on him. He only needs to bury the water source, one of the five elements, in the desert for a period of time, and that area will not be short of water.

However, Zhao Xinyu can only know these. These secrets that cannot be known to others cannot be shared with others. He who studies traditional Chinese medicine really knows that some prescriptions can indeed cool down. If he studies it, he can really build a city. If the catalyst is successfully researched, it will not only prevent Lop Nur from being affected in any way, but also allow this rain-increasing catalyst to be promoted. In that case, not only will it make profits for itself, but it will also be able to generate revenue for the country.

"You said using Chinese herbal medicine instead of silver iodide?"

Zhao Xinyu nodded, "I have seen several prescriptions in a traditional Chinese medicine book that can have a cooling effect. If they can be shot high into the sky, they should have the same effect as silver iodide."

Gu Xiangang looked at Zhao Xinyu, "If the research can be successful, you will be the first to use traditional Chinese medicine in other fields."

"Mr. Gu, you really want to forget that Xinyu has applied traditional Chinese medicine in other fields. The Sanggan River and Lop Nur Salt Lake were all treated with Chinese herbal medicine."

Gu Xiangang laughed loudly, "How could I forget such a great achievement?"

After returning to the station from the nursery base, Zhao Xinyu summoned Meng Lie and Xu Yang to an office and talked about the rain catalyst.

His idea horrified people like Luo Xiao and Meng Lie, and they were even more excited. Chinese herbal medicines are bred by heaven and earth. If Chinese herbal medicines are really used as catalysts, it will not only reduce the cost, but also be environmentally friendly. Producing any pollution is a big innovation.

With Zhao Xinyu's recipe and the top military talents in the military camp, it only took three days to make rain-increasing catalysts filled with Chinese herbal medicine.

Xu Yang and the others were looking forward to the next opportunity for increased precipitation. In the simulated environment greenhouse of the nursery base, Gu Xiangang and his group were even more stunned. Zhao Xinyu had taken over the greenhouse in the past three days. They had no idea what Zhao Xinyu had done.

But when they came here today, they saw the hanging thermometer showing that the temperature in the greenhouse had changed from minus 27 degrees when Zhao Xinyu came three days ago to minus 36 degrees.

They didn't know how Zhao Xinyu made the temperature of the simulated glacier plummet by nine degrees in three days. Such a temperature may not be achieved in a professional simulation environment, but Zhao Xinyu achieved it.

When the density of the ice and snow was tested, Gu Xiangang and others were so shocked that they could not express themselves in words. Although the density of the ice and snow at this moment has not reached the density of the glacier, it is very close. Using such ice and snow to cultivate ice and snow species has already There is no problem.

The shocked Gu Xiangang looked at the others, "How do you think Xinyu did it?"

"I haven't seen him bring any equipment in the past few days. He only comes here a few times a day. He stayed in there for more than four hours last night."

"No need to guess. If you want to know the reason, you can only ask Xinyu. This may be Xinyu's secret, and we may not be able to understand it."

Gu Xiangang and others couldn't help but shake their heads. Zhao Xinyu translated the ancient agricultural books handed down from his ancestors to Zhao Xinyu and made them annotations in many places. However, because they are different from modern scientific concepts, they still have little understanding of ancient agriculture. They also had little knowledge, and now Zhao Xinyu had used other methods, and they didn't bother to ask.

With a suitable simulation environment, a group of respectable old men took their students to start actual sampling. At the same time, they contacted Jiang Fei and asked someone to send them ice crystal fruits and ice lotus. They began to research???????????? ????Study on cultivating ice crystal fruit and snow lotus seedlings.

As early as when Zhao Xinyu borrowed Xiaolian to change the greenhouse environment, Zhao Xinyu had already thought that Gu Xiangang and the others would study ice lotus in addition to ice crystal fruit, so he communicated with Xiaolian, and Xiaolian also made some in the ice and snow. hands and feet.

Gu Xiangang and others were busy conducting research in this simulated environment. Zhao Xinyu also entered the underground shooting range of the station to teach them the methods of sniping practitioners. In order to avoid being discovered, Xu Yang also conducted research in the station's production area. Received design training.

On this day, when the sky was covered with dark clouds again, Gu Xiangang and others who were researching at the nursery base heard a dull explosion. When they came out of the greenhouse, they first smelled the faint scent of medicine floating in the air.

"Teacher, it's the station that's firing rain-increasing bombs."

Gu Xiangang and others were shocked. A few days ago, Zhao Xinyu said that he would go back and study with the old men on using traditional Chinese medicine as a catalyst to increase precipitation. Only a few days later, they came up with the research, which really surprised them.

"Xinyu is really a genius."

It only took a few minutes for raindrops to start flying in the sky. Compared with the previous times, the raindrops seemed to be bigger. It was only a matter of time before the heavy rain came. This made Gu Xiangang wait for it when he entered the office. People's eyes widened.

The climate of the desert is arid, and there is very little water vapor in the air. This also results in very little precipitation in the desert. Occasionally, the precipitation is sporadic light rain, and the duration is very short. Heavy rain like today is extremely rare.

Gu Xiangang and the others were surprised. The people in Loulan Town, Mowen Town and even the Salt Lake were shocked by the sudden heavy rain.

If they were in the area where they lived, they would have taken shelter from the rain. But in Lop Nur, an area that had been deserted for thousands of years, they did not take shelter in the face of the heavy rain. Instead, they enjoyed soaking in the water in the area where they lived. , and then they discovered that there was a trace of the fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine in the rain. This surprised them.

You must know that precipitation is very common in their area, especially in midsummer. Precipitation occurs almost every three or two days, and heavy rain and light rain are both cold and occasionally have a pungent smell.

But today's rain was beyond their understanding. Although the rain was cold, it had a medicinal fragrance. Even when it fell on the body, it seemed to feel like a medicinal bath.

It rained for more than half an hour. I dare not say that it was water from the flat ground, but the murky water in the artificial river channel several meters high almost overflowed to the shore. There were puddles everywhere in the sour ground, leftover from the vegetable fields around Mochou Lake. The muddy water turned the clear Mochou Lake yellow.

Although the rainfall gave this sandy land that had been barren for thousands of years a baptism of baptism, it also highlighted some problems. Water channels in many places were washed away, and deep trenches appeared in vegetable fields and sour fields. Loulan Town, There are also some problems with drainage in Mowen Town.

After the heavy rain, there was no trace of heat in the entire desert, but instead there was a trace of coolness. The injection of muddy water into the salt water lake and Mochou Lake made the lake surface turbid, which also caused big fish to jump out of the water one after another, which presented a scene for people. visual feast.

Zhao Xinyu, who was stationed at the station, looked at the photos coming from Mowen Town, Loulan Town, vegetable fields, sour fields and salt water lakes. He looked at Luo Xiao and Meng Lie and said with a wry smile: "It took a long time to prepare. A heavy rain reveals its true form.”

Meng Lie smiled faintly, "You have done a good job. If it had been anyone else, at least half of the courtyards in Loulan Town and Mowen Town would have been turned into dilapidated buildings due to this heavy rain. These are just minor problems. The water canals They are all built on sand. If the surrounding areas of Mowen Town and Loulan Town are soiled in the future, the drainage problem will be solved."

Zhao Xinyu took a deep breath, "This is not a problem. It is all because we are not fully prepared. Next, we must pay more attention to these problems. The drainage of Mowen Town and Loulan Town cannot enter the river, and water seepage alone cannot alleviate it." Regarding drainage issues, I will build several sewage treatment plants so that overflowing sewage will not pollute the surrounding environment."

Luo Xiao nodded. "This is a good idea. Water purification projects are people's livelihood projects. Although they are not profitable, they can at least reduce pollution."

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "What I am considering is not the pollution problem. If a sewage treatment plant is built, the purified water can at least be used for bathing even if it cannot be used for drinking."

Meng Lie nodded. They knew that Zhao Xinyu didn't have much idea about money, and he was not short of money. Besides, sewage treatment was a project related to environmental issues, so they supported Zhao Xinyu's approach even if it cost money.

"What about the ditch?"

Zhao Xinyu looked at Meng Lie and others, "I plan to build some large reservoirs in some areas and use sprinkler irrigation instead of canals to transport water."

"Xinyu, your idea is very good, but since you want to build a reservoir, you have to consider safety issues."

"Don't be afraid of this. If you want to build it, build a closed pool, and you can plant plants on it."

"Where's the river?"

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "I really didn't think this through. What I thought was that no matter how large the water volume was, it would not be able to overflow the river. From now on, the environment in this area will become better, the precipitation will gradually increase, and the river will be really good." Think about it, this time the sediment in the river will be cleared out for the time being, and I will discuss it with Zhao Zhizhong to see if there is any way to make up for the problem."
