Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.
Chapter 400 The power of the people transformed this place into fertile soil
Blocking the granary and setting foot on the plain is the last stop of this expedition to the Yellow River.
At an altitude of dozens of kilometers away from Wuyuan County, an air train transport plane was slowly lowering its altitude and flying towards the airport that had just been built some time ago.
"Director Huang, we are about to arrive at our destination. Don't forget what I told you before, and be sure to pay attention to safety."
The captain's voice reached Huang He's ears through the in-flight broadcast.
Hearing this, he immediately withdrew his gaze from the window, adjusted his posture according to the previous training, and made preparations for landing.
A few minutes later, the SkyTrain transport aircraft landed steadily and began to taxi on the earthen runway. It finally stopped directly in front of the hangar according to the guidance of the ground handling team.
"Haha, Lao Huang! We haven't seen each other for a while!"
"Come on, come on, hurry up and have lunch. I'm cooking today, so you're in luck."
As soon as he got off the plane, Huang He heard a familiar laughter. But this time it was not his fellow countryman Li Datuan, but a bearded man with a somewhat vicissitudes of life.
Seeing his comrade whom he hadn't seen for a long time, standing there stunned, Brigadier Wang stepped forward and put his arms around his neck.
"What are you talking about? You look a little dazed today. This is not like your usual style. What's going on?"
The sudden physical contact made Huang He suddenly come back to his senses. He was in a daze because he was recalling the vast land he had just seen on the plane.
Starting from Guisui, the air train transport plane passed through grasslands, Gobi and deserts.
Overlooking the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, watching the Mother River crossing its banks, and looking at the fields at the foot of Yinshan Mountain in the distance. Even people who are not proficient in farming will be shocked by this scene.
Sure enough, this is the reason why the barbarians want to cross the Yin Mountain.
"Ah, Lao Wang!? Why are you here? Did the border area send you here?"
Facing his friend's question, the bearded man nodded casually.
After killing the troops stationed in Mongolia, the border area is also thinking about how to deeply develop the entire Suiyuan area.
At this stage, the more heavily industrialized cities the better, but light industry and agriculture are equally important.
It was precisely because of the above-mentioned ideas that the army morale wizard simply sent Brigadier Wang to Houtao Plain to guide the work, and also recruited a group of local soldiers to build water conservancy projects.
"I won't be able to stay here for long. I estimate that I will have to return to Lanni Bay by April this year at the latest, otherwise I won't be able to catch up with the spring plowing."
"Constructing water conservancy projects in the Hetao area is not a task that can be completed in one or two years. I will start here, and the subsequent tasks must be handed over to the new base area."
During the conversation, Wang, Huang and their group had arrived at the canteen of the army station.
In addition to the Hunan cuisine that Beard is good at, there are four plates of pork bone braised with sauerkraut, braised noodles and ham noodles on the table.
Faced with such a sumptuous lunch, Huang He naturally feasted on it without any ceremony.
After the meal, the two went for a walk in the fields together, accompanied by the security platoon, and chatted about work on the way. Along the field path, the Yellow River saw densely packed small water channels. In addition, there are many soldiers in squads who are leading the local people to dig large canals.
They men and women went into battle together, digging with shovels, carrying carts, and dispelling the cold winter with their enthusiasm alone.
Of course, today's TG is not original. In addition to manual construction, there are also more than a dozen Cicada vehicles with bulldozers in operation.
This situation made the bearded man say with emotion:
"Hey, the Mother River has many twists and turns, but only one thing is rich. But developing the Hetao area is by no means an easy task.
"Old Huang, you should have seen the Eight Major Canals and the Uga River on the plane just now. It's a pity that these alone cannot control the drought and floods of the Mother River."
"To make the silo permanent, we would need a massive main canal to control the water in the river."
After finishing speaking, Big Beard took out a document from his winter military uniform, which recorded the border region's management plan for the Hetao Plain.
After just one glance, Huang took a deep breath. Because he actually saw the famous "Er Yellow River" water diversion project in later generations at this point in time.
That kind of spectacle of two rivers flowing side by side, showing wildness and calmness at the same time, I was lucky enough to see the real scene in the Yellow River in my previous life.
In his memory, this main canal, which manages the dispatch of all branch canals, took ten years to complete.
"What a bold and genius idea. I don't know who came up with the plan. Although the water diversion project is extremely difficult, as long as it can be completed successfully, it will be a great success for the present and future generations."
"Old Wang, if you need anything, just ask. I will let Baotou No. 1 Machinery Factory produce engineering equipment according to your needs and contribute as much as possible."
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the First Emperor unified the six countries and immigrated to the border areas. Emperor Wu fought against the Xiongnu and moved a large number of inland people to colonize the Hetao area.
During the Tang Dynasty, people even carried out water conservancy projects and developed irrigation agriculture.
By the time of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, not only could this place be self-sufficient, but it could even export food through the Mother River.
It is precisely because people built irrigation networks, improved soil, and planted trees that the Hetao area eventually became blocked by Jiangnan.
"Okay, with your words, our Agricultural Reclamation and Construction Corps can probably save a lot of effort. According to me, you should hurry up and get a series of serious engineering equipment such as tractors and excavators."
"Relying solely on the Cicada tank's bulldozer is really not enough."
"Speaking of which, I feel like you are more confident than me. Come on, let me hear your thoughts and guess how many years it will take us to complete the project."
Lao Wang's question brought Huang He's mind back to his previous life, as if he was in that sunflower field again.
"I really don't know the specific time. But I guess it won't be more than eight years. After all, in addition to raw manpower, we also have machinery."
"As for confidence, it's very simple."
"I always firmly believe in one thing, that is, the power of the people will definitely transform this place into a permanent fertile soil." (End of Chapter)
