silent farm

Chapter 268 Town Planning (Second Protection)
Ali stayed at Silent Farm for four days, and after sending the pony off the farm, he left the farm.

But Silent Farm sent him away, and welcomed two groups of guests.A group of Huaxia teams were invited by Li Sheng to do town planning.

The other group was a linguistics professor from the University of Lima in Peru who brought his students to the farm.The arrival of this group of scholars was also through early application.The purpose of their visit was to study the language of the Jilolo tribe, a newly discovered Indian population.

Li Sheng heard that they were engaged in the study of ancient Indian languages ​​two days ago, and gave the green light to their application.Not only allowed them to stay in Silent Farm, but also promised to provide them with all conveniences.

This is not to please them because of their status as scholars.It is because Li Sheng cited that no matter whether such research is useful or not, he only needs to express his friendliness to the Indians as always.It's an investment.

However, after these scholars came, Li Sheng met them once.Then it was entertained by Thomas.

As for the urban planning team, they are the ones he needs to greet seriously recently.

Of course, it is impossible for him to follow every day.Li Sheng unexpectedly handed over the matter of entertaining them to Bai Qin.Bai Qin is a native of China and understands Portuguese, so there is no problem in communicating with some residents near the expert farm.Moreover, Bai Qin followed the tour group some time ago, so this meeting can be regarded as a relatively eloquent one on the farm.At the same time, he can also protect the safety of these experts.It can be described as one stroke.

Of course, he also pays close attention to this matter.Ask Bai Qin to tell him immediately if there is anything he can't solve.

There have also been new changes in Huaxia.That day, Luo Zheng called Li Sheng, saying that the investigation of Jiangnan Pharmaceutical had been exposed.Coupled with the overwhelming slander of the trolls before, the stock of Jiangnan Pharmaceutical has fallen to the limit, and the stock market has piled up buy orders.

However, Luo Zheng feels that now is not the time to buy: "If we start buying now, it will give investors a sense of hope. We can wait until the panic of the investors is almost gone before buying."

Li Sheng can only listen to his opinion in this regard.Although he felt that it would damage the interests of many shareholders.But "the stock market is risky" is not for nothing for 30 years.Losing money in the stock market is like no other.

He didn't interfere too much with Luo Zheng's operations in China, he just said: "If you don't have enough funds, please call me anytime."

He still has tens of billions of dollars in deposits in his account now.Although the money may not be enough for the construction of the city and subsequent plans.But those are not considered for the time being.That will take at least three or four months before the real implementation starts.At that time, the funds for pasture sales will come back, and he doesn't have to worry about not having enough funds.

At the same time, he also gained some gains in the space.It's not that I found something new, but this time I went in and took the video of monitoring the Cordyceps production area in the space and finally found a video of a large number of moths flying at night.That should be mating.

On the ground, he also found countless palm-sized moth corpses.This is an insect whose survival is to reproduce.

He recorded the data on the environmental monitoring system one by one, which is an important basis for the cultivation of Cordyceps on the farm in the future.But if he wants to know how to cultivate Cordyceps, he needs to know more.Because he hasn't photographed where these big moths come from.

It stands to reason that insects like moths usually don't live very long after they become adults.And he has been shooting for more than a month, but he didn't find the scene of the moth breaking out of the chrysalis.Unless the moths were born elsewhere, these moths should have survived for a considerable period of time after becoming adults.

If that's the case, he still needs to observe or experiment to understand the moth's life.Also, he needs to find food for the moths.

In the next few days, he mainly dealt with some things that needed to be decided on the farm, and kept in touch with Luo Zheng and the others at any time.And then there's going into space to look for that kind of nectar that the moth might feed on.

After obtaining the local climate and hydrological data, the town planning team conducted a survey in several nearby villages.Their captain found Li Sheng.

After hearing what he said, Li Sheng frowned a little: "What Director Zou means is that that area is not suitable for building a town?"

Director Zou said with certainty: "Yes. Although the river bank is relatively high, the water level of the Mapuela River in the rainy season is usually less than one meter above the embankment. Three years ago, There was a flood that submerged a large area of ​​the river bank. We have learned from the villagers of Olihimina Village on the east bank. Such a flood will occur once every ten years. And the time when the water level was the highest, it overflowed the river bank for more than three rice."

He paused, seeing that Li Sheng hadn't spoken, and then continued: "If a town is built in such a place, once the flood period comes, the town will easily be flooded due to poor sewage system. If it is a big flood, it will even Flood entire towns."

Li Sheng had to admit that he was right.But if it is not built there, should it be built inland of the farm?

But he didn't want the town to get too far inside the farm.In the future, he also plans to build a road to connect the town with the outside world. If too many cars come in and out of the farm, he worries that it will cause a lot of trouble.

"What advice do you have?"

Director Zou took out the map they surveyed and said, "We have two alternatives. One is to move the city's construction site to the west by [-] kilometers."

Li Sheng immediately vetoed this plan: "That's impossible."

Director Zou didn't ask why, and continued to talk about the second plan: "In fact, there is a place near the river with relatively high terrain. Mr. Li, look here."

He spread out the map as he spoke, and pointed to a place less than one kilometer away from the mouth of Lake Siparu: "There is a terrace here, which is five to ten meters higher than the originally selected site, covering an area of ​​more than 80 square kilometers. Here It is very suitable for building a city. The problem is that it is more than ten kilometers away from the current pier,"

Li Sheng saw that it was an irregular platform. From the contour line, it was indeed several meters higher than near the pier.The surrounding terrain is also relatively high.

He also remembered the last big flood, and that area was indeed not flooded.

At this time, he also thought of some problems that he had never considered before.In the current dock area, if there is a flood like last time, the equipment at the dock may be submerged, and at least one floor of those warehouses will be scrapped.If the flooding lasts long enough, the farm's produce may not be shipped out.

If it was the beginning, he wouldn't have to worry about this problem.I am worried that the farm is now heavily dependent on the dock.If the wharf equipment is damaged due to flood water, it will take about a month until the flood recedes to put the wharf back into use.If that happened, it would be unbearable for the current farms.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Then use the second plan. But for this plan, I request to build a pier in a suitable place. And this pier must be more than four meters higher than the current pier."

Director Zou listened to his request, pondered on the drawings and said: "It is no problem to build such a wharf at this location, but the amount of work will be relatively large. The river beach here is two kilometers wide. If you want to build Mr. Li To get a wharf like the one you want, you have to re-dig a river channel here."

Li Sheng saw that he drew a line on the east side of the terrace with a pencil, nodded and said, "You guys first calculate how much work you need."

Director Zou nodded.Said: "Okay. Also, if Mr. Li decides to build a wharf at this place, I suggest that the excavated earth be piled up here to make it a platform. In this way, the wharf will be on the left bank of the river. It would be more advantageous to berth larger ships. But that would add a lot of work, and a bridge would have to be built.”

When Li Sheng heard it, his eyes lit up, and he said, "This suggestion is very good."

Building such a pier will indeed cost a lot, but it also has great benefits.He can separate the wharf from the town, and the siltation of the river will have less impact on the berths of the wharf.

As for the construction of the bridge, it can also be regarded as the beginning of the follow-up road project.

Of course, there will definitely be some trouble in terms of procedures, after all, turning a farm's boundary river into a farm's inland river.This involves some land tenure issues.He must be dealt with.

Director Zou laughed when he heard what he said, and said: "If Mr. Li agrees with this plan, then we will plan for this area next. However, because the shape of this terrace is irregular, especially in the section near the river bank It’s relatively small. Therefore, it may not be possible to follow Mr. Li’s previous square layout in planning, and the planning is also more complicated.”

Li Sheng nodded and said, "That doesn't matter. As long as the area is about the same."

He has no requirements for the shape of the town, and there is no need to build walls anyway.

He asked, "Can I have a copy of this drawing?"

"Of course. It's printed out by the computer. We can print out a lot." Director Zou was very happy that his opinion was adopted.

If the location specified by Li Sheng was followed, no matter how beautiful their plan was, it would still be a failed project.But if they follow their replacement location plan, it will be completely different.

After he left, Li Sheng looked at the blueprint.The drawings though only show the riparian area between the pier and Lake Siparu.But it also made Li Sheng see clearly that the terrain of this land is not completely flat.It is low in the south and high in the north, although the gap is not very big.But when the flood comes, a few meters higher is very important.Construction of roads in the higher northern areas will not be interrupted by floods.Building buildings on this platform will not be submerged due to floods.

In addition, after the town was built on that platform, there was still a large piece of land.This piece of land can be set aside as an industrial area, and it is specially used for the townspeople to rent farmland to grow vegetables and fruits and other crops.

What about just existing docks?
A pier that may not be usable during a flood always feels unsafe.But it seems a bit wasteful to discard it.

He thought for a moment, the old wharf could be used exclusively for the export of live cattle.

He would never plan to build a factory like a slaughterhouse near a town, because the pollution would be too severe.He decided that the pier could continue to be used.But the equipment and so on can be transferred to the new dock at that time.In the wet season, it can also be used to load and unload pasture and grain.How much can that increase the output capacity of the farm.
