Vol 2 Chapter 188: Miracle of Water

After attending the reception party held by Deputy Secretary Li, Wu Hao and they were arranged to rest in the hotel.
Of course, the hotel's condition is certainly not as good as that of Uchi. But in such a place with tens of thousands of people, it is already good to have this condition. At least clean and comfortable, no different from normal business standards.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Hao and their group, under the leadership of the staff arranged by Deputy Secretary Li, began to visit and inspect the farm near Tiemen.
After a lap of investigation, the sights they saw were really rewarding. One is the traditional agricultural method, which is actually the earliest farms to be built.
Basically, first plant trees in the desert and circle the desert into areas. When the trees survive and grow, they will also play a role in wind and sand fixation.
And this circled area is planted with wheat, corn, soybeans, sorghum, cotton and other crops.
This is also the most commonly used method in the entire western Xinjiang farm, with this large-scale extensive agriculture as the main method. In fact, this is also in line with the actual situation in the desert area. After all, in such a harsh environment, intensive cultivation is difficult to achieve.
The second type is a large-scale sprinkler irrigation agricultural technology developed in more than ten or twenty years.
Large-scale sprinkler irrigation agriculture is actually using the sprinkler irrigation technology to replenish the crops planted in the arid and barren desert soil. Moreover, according to these sprinkler irrigation pipelines, these crops are continuously supplied with fertilizer or pesticides.
There are many kinds of sprinkler irrigation technologies. In addition to the common sprinkler irrigation methods, there are actually grid overhead sprinkler irrigation technologies and center pivot sprinkler irrigation technologies.
坐 When we fly, we often see a very regular circular oasis in the western desert. This is the result of the large-scale central pivot irrigation technology.
Although sprinkler irrigation technology saves a lot of water compared to traditional diversion irrigation, it still has its own shortcomings.
For example, sprinkler irrigation can only spray water and fertilizer to the surface of crops, while desert areas are relatively dry, high temperature and large evaporation, and water sprayed to the surface can be easily evaporated, and it is difficult to nourish the crop root system.
Especially in the arid environment like the desert, every drop of water is hard to come by. Therefore, how to use water sources for irrigation more efficiently has become a subject that everyone is studying.
(1) In the 1950s and 1960s, as a newly established nation, Israel was facing a serious food crisis. In order to avoid long-term dependence on imports and possible food starvation problems, Israelis spent huge amounts of money to complete the 145-kilometre "North-South Water Diversion" pipeline in 11 years.
传统 However, traditional irrigation has slowed agricultural technology and desert reconstruction. At that time, most of the territory of Ezra was a desert area, so water was the lifeblood of rebuilding the desert.
In such an arid desert area, the water source is very tight. The people's domestic water supply is not guaranteed, not to mention the water used for production and agriculture.
Until the 1960s, a farmer accidentally found the crops where the water leaked out of the pipes looked particularly good. Water infiltration into the soil at the same point is the most effective way to increase cooling, efficient irrigation, and control of water, fertilizer, and pesticides.
发现 The discovery immediately received strong government support, and the world-famous Netfim drip irrigation company came into being.
After the inventor's drip irrigation, the total agricultural water use of Isere has been stable at 1.3 billion cubic meters for 30 years, while agricultural production has increased fivefold.
其实 Our country has actually introduced this set of drip irrigation technology very early, and according to our actual situation, we have also carried out related improvements and optimizations, and carried out innovation and development on the original technology.
We can say that our country is not inferior to other countries in terms of drip irrigation technology.
The special environment of West Xinjiang has also allowed the drip irrigation technology to take root here and continue to develop. Here has been developed a set of fully automatic drip pipe technology that is leading in the world according to the actual situation.
In many people's imagination, drip irrigation technology may be simple after all. In fact, it is really very simple, just poke some small holes in the thin tube, and then make the water drops in the water pipe to the crop root system.
It may seem that simple, but actually letting water drip into each plant in a balanced way is very complicated. It should be known that the length of a water pipe is different, and the water pressure in each part of the water pipe is also different, so the amount of dripping water in the small hole is also different.
想要 If you want to maintain the same amount of water in the gaps of all parts of the water pipe, this requires a lot of R & D and testing of functional modules such as hard, tough and corroded plastic pipes, connectors, filters, controllers, etc., so that they can meet the design and use requirements.
Today, the dropper technology has been automated and intelligent. The computer automatically detects the soil moisture of the crop root system, and then adjusts the water output. It can also regularly infiltrate the roots of plants with water containing fertilizers and pesticides.
的 The successful application and development of this technology can not only save water resources, especially in arid desert areas, it is even more important.
In the deserted desert, using this technology to replant vegetation and crops can not only repair the damaged ecological environment, but also produce more agricultural and sideline products. Helping these poor areas to resolve the food crisis can even help revitalize the local economy.
After this circle of inspections and visits, Wu Hao, Xu Xiaoya and others were also eye-opening ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and even changed a lot of their stereotypes about this area before.
For example, before they naively thought that the desert area must be barren and barren. But it was here that I knew that there was such a vibrant place in the depths of the desert.
For another example, they thought that most areas of the desert like West Xinjiang had scarce resources. What they used to know about this place stayed on raisins, cantaloupe, and camel.
这次 And this time, they really saw the rich side of Xijiang here. Except for the most basic crops mentioned earlier, what they didn't expect was that West Xinjiang also grew rice.
And it is said that the rice produced here is of excellent quality, comparable to Northeast rice. In addition, there are sunflowers, hops, lavender, flax, tobacco, and medicinal materials. The production and quality of the Corps' upland cotton, long-staple cotton and colored cotton, sugar beet, oil crops, hops, and ketchup rank first in the country's agricultural reclamation.
In addition, there are a lot of fruits and vegetables. In addition to tropical fruits, some fruits and vegetables are available here. Nowhere else, there are, and the quality is better.
Not to mention some other western Xinjiang features, such as beef and mutton in western Xinjiang, which is the best beef and mutton producing place in China.
As for whether it is the best Wu Hao, they do not know, anyway, the tour guide introduced it this way. But judging from several skewers, the lamb here is really delicious. Even a more self-denying woman like Xu Xiaoya, in the face of so many delicious foods, totally disregards her identity as the female CEO.
