silent farm

Chapter 13 A Very Magical Story

Two days later, Li Sheng drove the three of Anthony and the others to Manaus by plane.Then drive the plane back by yourself.Getting a pilot's license is not difficult.Moreover, he found Fernando and asked him to do a favor. The required documents did not require many procedures.

The only three workers left, and Li Sheng was alone in the huge silent farm.Apart from the chirping of animals, this place has really become a veritable place of silence.

But he didn't feel scared either.Started to sleep in broad daylight.At night, he wakes up.Evening is his working time.

With the midpoint of the pasture as the center, the water within a radius of [-] kilometers is within his controllable range.Of course, it is impossible for him to control such a large amount of water at the same time, and he does not need to do that.

He asked the three workers to leave, just because he didn't want them to find out that something was wrong on the ranch.At night in the Amazon, almost no one is outdoors.Unless it is some scientific expedition team.

However, the place where supernatural phenomena will occur is the river around the silent pasture. The scientific expedition team who prefers to visit animals will not care about such a wasteland that has been completely destroyed and destroyed.Night is also the best camouflage color.Somewhat farther away these anomalies are not found at all.

In the middle of the night, in the open space of the Silent Ranch and the river bank to the south, a section of the water seems to be alive, and "crawls" along the bank to the land, with a thickness of only about [-] centimeters.Their climbing speed is not slow, at a speed of two to three meters per second.A large amount of water climbed up the land, and the water level in the river slowly dropped.But none of these were discovered.If it is daytime, you can see these rivers are clear, but they are very muddy like mud.

Li Sheng controlled the surrounding river to flood the wasteland of the ranch.The current carried silt from the river bed up the bank and headed inland.An area of ​​nearly [-] square kilometers requires a lot of silt.

No matter how much silt the river beds of the nearby rivers have, they cannot meet the needs of his plan.The water on the ground of the riverbed within a radius of [-] kilometers is constantly rushing towards the quiet pasture with silt.The two rivers in the east and west directions are not very large. Although their water volume is not small, the riverbed is not too wide.Compared with the [-] to [-] kilometers wide Amazon mainstream, the amount of silt in these two riverbeds is very small.

But the current will carry the silt from the main stream back into the two rivers, and then climb up to the land.

Of course, this is not something that can be done in a day or two.He controlled the water flow to carry the silt for a certain distance, and spread the silt on the river bed before it couldn't support it, waiting for the next move.The flow rate of the Amazon River is not very fast. In the dry season, most rivers will not exceed 0.2 meters. The silt left on the river bed is not worried about being washed away.

It takes nearly twenty hours for the river to flow across the entire land from south to north.But after these twenty hours, the river has settled the silt, which is then allowed to seep into the ground or return to the river on its own.

However, there is a batch of river water that will not return to the river.These rivers are not many.But they were left on land by Li Sheng specially.They rotate in the depressions and continuously dig out some ponds and small lakes, and send the mud to the shore.As for the oxbow lake, the trees on the shore were not felled.Because it is the dry season, the water in this lake is not deep, but the fish are very dense.Li Sheng planned to keep such a lake, and even dug a little deeper.

Carrying the mud for twenty hours in a row made Li Sheng even feel the shape of his brain clearly—a very clear, warm lump—he dared not do that again no matter what.He was also terribly tired. After doing it once, he slept for a whole day and didn't recover.

And on the night when he was sleeping, if someone wore infrared glasses, they would be able to see countless firefly-like bright things emerging from the surrounding forest around dawn, always thinking of flying in the direction of the silent pasture.These points of light overflow from every tree, every vine, even every plant.A single plant emits a spot of light, flying into the silent pasture without anyone noticing, and then gathered in a luxurious wooden house in the pasture.

Li Sheng didn't know that countless light spots squeezed into his body.He felt refreshed before noon.Seeing a three-centimeter-thick layer of black soil on the flooded ground, I felt that the whole day's hard work was well worth it.

But that doesn't count.Although the dust density in the air is not great.But the volume of air is also very large.It's the dry season, and the low pressure draws some African dust, and there's not a lot of dust high up in the sky.In fact, if there is no such dust, I am afraid that there may not necessarily be the fertility of the Amazon plain.He set his mind on the dust.

The dust in a hemisphere within a radius of [-] kilometers was concentrated over the farm area by area by him, and when the charged dust bonded together, they fell one after another.Soon, the sky over the entire silent clearing became gray.Although it would make people a little suspicious, at most some people would think that there was a wind blowing in this arid land, causing the dust to fly here.

After working hard for a long time, Li Sheng brought all the first batch of dust to the ground.But at this time, there was dust in the air he could control.However, this amount is relatively small.It will take time to accumulate in order to have the same density as other places.Maybe it will be tomorrow.

And slept until the next night.There is still a lot of humus in the river bed, which is what he needs.All he had to do was take these things to the Silent Meadows.

In order to complete the work as soon as possible, he spent all his time on this aspect except eating and sleeping to replenish energy and physical strength.After nearly two months of extreme operations, he dug the surrounding riverbed three or four meters deeper, and the dust content in the air throughout South America also dropped to a minimum.And the ground of his pasture has been raised by about fifty centimeters.And he felt that the soil was basically thick enough.And he lost nearly twenty pounds.

On the night of November [-]st, the river overflowed the land again.In front of Li Sheng's wooden house, piles of sesame-like things were piled up.Those are the grass seeds he collected from space during this time.From the growth of these grasses in the space, it is a very high-quality forage.If it can reproduce here, it is of course very valuable to this land.

The rising river washes the mounds of grass seeds, carries them to other places, and then spreads them evenly.At the same time, it was covered again with a layer of silt one or two centimeters thick.Before the river left, he helped him clean up all the silt that had accumulated on the airport.In case the airport cannot be used.

A few days later, grass seeds had been sown in the places where he planned to plant grass.In order to allow these grass seeds to grow as soon as possible before the rainy season comes.He released the water of the great lake in space.A thin layer of water from these lakes has been flowing over the dry silt, flowing over the ground and seeping into the ground.When he can't control enough water, he drives to another location to continue.He didn't give up until the lake water covered all the wasteland.

After all of this last night, he began to resume his normal work and rest schedule.The floor of the wooden house today is two steps too high.Only about half of the anti-snake gap under the floor of the previous wooden house remained.

Normally, those silts would be sticky if they encountered water again, but after repeated dehydration and solidification, these soils had already become relatively solid, and a small amount of water could only moisten them and not turn them into mud.Of course, the most important thing is that when he dug the silt in the river, he had already dug into the silt layer below.The hardness of sediment is much better than that of silt.Therefore, even if there is a lot of rain, this place will not turn into mud if you step on it.

Up to now, he still has about half a month to let the land grow grass.Otherwise, when Babur and the others come back, he won't be able to handle many things.

The biggest problem in the future is how to use the lake water in the space for pasture.

He dug some ponds just to solve this problem.Grass that has grown out of the ground has a peculiar property.Their root systems will connect with those of the same kind that can absorb space lake water.As long as there is enough pasture to absorb the space lake water, then these pastures can use the lake water as a whole.

There are 36 ponds he dug out with hydraulic power, each of which is different in size, but the distribution is relatively uniform, and some of the ponds that are not too far away are connected by waterways.In the future, whether it is breeding animals or plants, these lake waters can be used.

Why 36.Because he can only maintain 48 docking points between space and the real world at the same time.He needs to keep some docking ports.In fact, these water surfaces can no longer be called ponds. Each of them has at least [-] square kilometers, and each has a depth of about five meters.They should be called lakes.

These lakes are only connected by some creek-level waterways, which finally flow into the oxbow lake.Therefore, they basically have no possibility of direct exchange with the outside river water.The edges of these small lakes are higher than the surrounding land.This also means that even if it is a downpour, their catchment area is only the surface of the lake, and the external water source will not dilute the water in the lake too much.

In addition, these small lakes can also be used for other purposes, such as aquaculture.Of course, when he can use it depends on Li Sheng's mood.
