Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2747 Yang Geyong Turns Over to Good

In fact, there is a very special geographical phenomenon in northern Xinjiang, that is, water shortage is seasonal.

There is little rain in the summer, but there is plenty of snow in the winter. Growing crops depends on the snow, and with the occasional rain, there is basically a good harvest of crops.

Of course, more wells were drilled later on to supplement the water shortage.

Ye Yuze got out of the car and looked at the topographic map they had drawn themselves, frowning and talking to himself.

Water can also be brought here by laying pipes according to the terrain or combining pipes with artificial channels.

Yang Geyong looked in the direction he pointed, thought for a moment and said:

"This is a good idea, but the geological conditions here need to be further investigated to see if it is suitable for laying pipelines, and we also have to consider the issue of pipeline anti-freezing in winter."

The two continued to go deeper into the valley for investigation. The journey was difficult to describe. The road was rugged and difficult to travel, and sometimes they even had to climb steep slopes on foot.

The weather was unpredictable, sometimes the sun was scorching, sometimes the wind blew up, raising dust all over the sky. But these difficulties did not stop them.

After detailed measurements and analysis, they found that the rock structure in the valley was relatively solid and suitable for laying pipelines.

Moreover, through the study of meteorological data, they found a pipeline material suitable for local climate conditions, which can effectively solve the problem of winter antifreeze.

After returning to the military reclamation city, Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong immediately began to design the water diversion plan.

They combined the survey data, recruited professionals, and used professional water conservancy engineering knowledge to draw detailed drawings.

The plan not only plans the route for laying the water diversion pipeline, but also designs a series of supporting water conservancy facilities, such as reservoirs, irrigation channels, etc., to ensure that water resources can be rationally distributed and utilized.

In order to make the plan more perfect, they invited well-known domestic water conservancy experts to conduct demonstration.

The experts spoke highly of the plan and also put forward some valuable suggestions. Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong humbly accepted the experts' opinions and further optimized the plan.

After the plan was finalized, the next step was the preparation for the project. Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong didn't care about this.

The project leader communicated and coordinated with relevant departments to strive for project approval and policy support. At the same time, he also set about forming a construction team and purchasing the materials and equipment required for construction.

However, the preparation of the project was not smooth sailing. When applying for project approval, we encountered some cumbersome formalities and complicated procedures.

The project leader visited relevant departments many times, patiently explained the importance and feasibility of the project, and finally successfully obtained approval for the project.

There were also challenges in assembling a construction team. As the project was located in a remote area and the conditions were difficult, many construction workers were reluctant to come.

The project team members worked hard and attracted a group of experienced construction workers to join by increasing their salaries and improving the working environment.

The procurement of materials and equipment also encountered difficulties. Some special pipeline materials were difficult to purchase locally and had to be transported from other places.

They actively contacted suppliers and coordinated transportation matters to ensure that materials and equipment could be supplied on time.

After several months of intensive preparation, the water diversion project finally officially started.

The construction site is a busy scene, with various mechanical equipment such as excavators and loaders roaring, and workers busy at their respective posts.

Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong would occasionally come to the construction site to supervise the progress of the project and solve problems encountered during construction.

During the construction process, they encountered new problems. After a heavy rain, a small landslide occurred in the gully in the valley, burying some of the already laid pipes.

Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong rushed to the scene immediately after hearing the news. They organized construction workers to quickly clear the landslide soil and rocks and inspect and repair the damaged pipelines.

To prevent similar incidents from happening again, they reinforced the surrounding mountains and added protective measures.

At the same time, we strengthened meteorological monitoring of the construction site and made preparations in advance to deal with severe weather.

As the project progressed, the water pipeline gradually extended to the surrounding areas of Junken City.

Every time a section of pipeline is laid, everyone feels extremely gratified, as they know that this pipeline carries the hopes of countless people and will bring new vitality to this land.

With the joint efforts of the project department and the construction team, the water diversion project finally ushered in the critical moment - water testing.

Ye Yuze, Yang Geyong and the construction workers arrived at the scene early, nervously waiting for that moment to come.

When the valve slowly opens, clear water rushes down the pipe and flows towards the dry land.

Looking at the water spreading across the land, moistening every inch of dry soil, Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong showed gratified smiles on their faces.

Residents from the surrounding areas also rushed to witness this exciting moment, and cheers and applause echoed throughout the valley.

However, they did not relax their vigilance. Next, the entire water diversion system needs to be fully inspected and debugged to ensure its long-term stable operation.

Everyone continued to stick to their posts, and together with the technical staff, they carefully checked each link and adjusted and optimized the system in a timely manner.

With the successful implementation of the water diversion project, the land around the military reclamation city was gradually irrigated, and the barren farmland began to grow green crops again.

The local agricultural production has been greatly improved, and the farmers' income has also increased significantly. Seeing the changes taking place on this land, Ye Yuze, Yang Geyong and all the people involved in the project feel extremely proud.

But they know that this is just the beginning of the development of Northern Xinjiang. There are more challenges waiting for them. In the future, they will continue to work hard to make greater contributions to the prosperity and development of Northern Xinjiang.

Next, they will turn their attention to infrastructure construction and industrial development in other parts of northern Xinjiang. A new journey of struggle is about to begin...

Helping the local people is a piece of cake, but the real difficulty lies in the Corps itself.

As we all know, the entire Corps is distributed along the border, and all of it is grassland that the people do not cultivate and have abandoned.

You have to know that they didn't give up voluntarily, but the land was basically barren and no crops could be grown. The sparse grass couldn't even feed cattle and sheep.

The reason for all this is water shortage, and it is extremely difficult to divert water to such a place.

But such places are not without any water. In such places, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, and the snow can often accumulate for nearly half a year.

When the snow melts, the water will flow away along the ravines. The solution to this problem is to build reservoirs, just like in some rural areas of Shaanxi.

Every household has a reservoir, and collecting snow and rain water can solve big problems.

This kind of project is not big or small, but it will cost a lot of money.

After all, the northern border is full of rocks, and it is not easy to find a pure earth mountain. There is a slogan that says we need food from the land, but here, we basically need food from the rocks. We need food from the water.

Ye Yuze decided to use the fund to build reservoirs of various sizes, and to build dams to store water in the creeks in the valleys for use in land irrigation.

This project is huge, but as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.

The members of the Corps are the most cohesive group of people. They are not only employees but also soldiers. As long as they are given an order, they can rush to any place at any time.

In the blink of an eye, the Corps has grown from one generation to the third generation, and the Corps has undergone tremendous changes. But at the same time, there are also great differences.

The first generation of soldiers in the Corps were all soldiers, accustomed to following orders. They were people who could make selfless contributions even without any compensation and by living frugally.

The second generation has basically not changed under the guidance of their parents, but they have all reached retirement age.

The third generation is hard to describe in a few words. Although their parents taught them the same way, in this age of information explosion, material things are the most important.

Since the reform and opening up, the value system has basically become like this, and you can't say that the children are all wrong.

After all, housing, education, and medical care are all borne by oneself, which is completely different from grandpa and father.

You need to buy a house and no one will give you a share. Going to school costs money and you will be asked to drop out if you can't pay the tuition. The hardest thing to describe is medical care.

Once you have no money, no one will treat your illness. It’s useless to blame the doctors or the hospital.

Because they are responsible for their own profits and losses, who would pay for your medical treatment from their own pocket? They are not your parents.

At present, the military settlers are the main force of the third generation, and the second generation has almost retired.

Ye Yuze didn't preach any big principles to them. He just paid them for the work. There were even professional personnel to design the project quantities.

That is, the more you work, the more you earn, and you decide how much you earn. Although these children do not have the hard-working spirit of their parents, they still work hard for money.

Especially since you are the beneficiary yourself, your water problem has been solved and you are paid for your work, it would be embarrassing if you don't work hard.

The next step is to let each production team survey the water source themselves and then come up with a solution. If there is really no other way, they can only rely on digging canals to divert water.

Of course, these things cannot be accomplished all at once. They take time and money. They are things that cannot be accomplished even with the whole country's strength. Ye Yuze is not a god, so he can only take it slowly.

If he can't do it, he'll pass it on to his son, and if his son can't do it, he'll pass it on to his grandson. One day, these deserts will all become oases...

It has to be said that Yang Geyong is a very reliable person. He is used to a life of debauchery and wine, and Ye Yuze thought that he could not stand the hard life any longer.

But the fact is, he has been following me across this vast land.

Because of the heavy workload, I have to travel to so many places, and throughout the northern Xinjiang, there are hundreds of roads with uninhabited areas everywhere.

They could only bring a few naan, dried meat and some water. When they were hungry, they could just eat something and then continue working.

It’s not that Ye Yuze has to do it himself, but the funds are in his hands, and everything others report needs to be verified.

Which one can be done? Which one can't be done for the time being? These all need to be decided by him.

After all, everyone has tendencies, and everyone prefers his own territory. If someone has something that is not as good as mine, it is inevitable that it will be exaggerated in the information and reports.

Don't doubt the possibility of this. After all, the report is just text. As long as it is accompanied by emotions, the readers will naturally be misled.

Even if we organize more inspectors, the result will be similar, so it is better to do it by ourselves. Ye Yuze has had enough fun.

I didn't expect that Yang Geyong was so reliable when doing things, which made Ye Yuze very relieved.

Originally, this fund could have set up a project department and hired some professionals to supervise its use.

But Ye Yuze felt that only by doing it himself could he be worthy of Old Liu. He and Liu Qinghua had a deep relationship. Now many people say that without Ye Yuze, there would be no Junken City.

But Ye Yuze knew that without Liu Qinghua there would be no military reclamation city.

He was still a child at the time, and his ideas could only be implemented with the support of Liu Qinghua. To put it bluntly, even his own father did not believe him. Therefore, there was the Junken City today.

And when Lao Liu feels that he has made a mistake and does not collect his pension, Ye Yuze will help him without hesitation, no matter what conditions he puts forward.

This old man also did not disappoint, creating a huge fortune in a short period of time, but in the end, he did not leave it to his children, but left it all to Northern Xinjiang...

There are not many people in the world who can have such feelings, so Ye Yuze must help him complete it personally.

Originally, the money was used to bring water from Tibet to Xinjiang, but it was unknown whether this could be realized. Therefore, Ye Yuze decided to do it first.

If there is no water in the reservoir, then we should first divert the water in the northern border. After all, that is what Grandpa Wang did in the beginning. How many fertile fields have been reclaimed?

You know, where did the machinery come from at that time? They just dug it out with shovels and feet.

What equipment is not available nowadays? Ye Yuze doesn't believe it will be more difficult than it was then? That's why he decided to do it first.

They originally wanted to start radiating outward from the vicinity of the military reclamation city, so that they would have a basis for development.

But other places refused to give up. First, the 16th Division in the south began to apply to the headquarters for funds to solve the problems they were facing.

As one of the few divisions located in the southern part of northern Xinjiang, the challenges they face are even greater than those in the north.

Northern Xinjiang has a temperate continental arid and semi-arid climate with cold winters, mild summers and relatively abundant precipitation.

Southern Xinjiang has a warm temperate continental arid climate, which is drier, with hot summers, relatively warm winters, and a large temperature difference between day and night.

Therefore, when it comes to the problem of water shortage, the problem is more serious in the south.

Kunshan Farm is located at the northern foot of Kunlun Mountain, on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert, and 20 kilometers northeast of PS County, Hotan Prefecture.

The total land area is 34494.5 hectares, with a total land area of ​​51.74 mu and an irrigated area of ​​6 mu.

It has a warm temperate arid desert climate in the Northern Hemisphere, with an average temperature of 11.9℃, 2466.8 hours of sunshine per year, 205 days of frost-free period, and abundant light and heat resources. However, the annual evaporation is 2412.9 mm, 49 times the precipitation, and water resources are seriously scarce.

It's the end of the month, guys, you know
