The barren land, except for the brown soil and yellow sand, has no buildings, no roads, no trees, and no weeds.
"Hey, my wife, the conditions here are much better than ours. The ground is flat. It doesn't take much effort to build roads, divert water, or dig the soil. You see, the mud is also soft. , It saves effort to turn it over, this condition is good."
"That's right, it's good, I don't know how many years you can live. A broken old man, with one hand left, doesn't save himself any trouble."
"I haven't had a good job for a few years. If I'm idle, I'm idle, and I have national welfare to eat and see a doctor. If I can still work, I have to work."
In the southern part of this wasteland, there is a convoy parked, and a large number of people are busy, including Tianji personnel and personnel from other departments.
Some personnel are carrying down the saplings on the transport vehicle.
This is an area where nuclear radiation changes. After the day of the decisive battle, the Astronomy Bureau sent mobile task forces to investigate many times. They analyzed the land samples from various places and confirmed that there were no radioactive substances. Although the soil composition in this area has changed slightly , but can still be understood by human science.
You can live here, and you can also plant some anti-desertification plants.
A few days ago, for this area, the country adopted a program called "Operation Forest of Life".
The state will invest sufficient resources to build water conservancy projects in this area of about 100,000 square kilometers, and then plant all the green plants for sand control.
Turn this place into a forest farm and make it full of vitality, so as not only to improve the environment, but also to fight against the wasteland.
The "reality struggle hypothesis" that Master Tong got from Gu Jun or Yisi people, the less it looks like a wasteland here, the less it will relapse into old diseases.
It is still the tree planting season in Mobei, so the Forest of Life operation will start immediately.
At this time, in this tree-planting army, there are also some ordinary Mobei people.
Two old people, Tian Fuhou and Zhang Maidong, were among them. When Tian Fuhou heard that trees were to be replanted in his hometown, he rushed to work.
The old couple moved the shovel while chatting. Cai Zixuan who was beside him listened and said, "Uncle Tian, you should take more rest."
Cai Zixuan came as a medical staff member of the team. His mental erosion has been purified, and his body is not in serious condition, and the Tianji Bureau is employing people.
Uncle Tian Fuhou is 79 years old. He had acute radiation sickness and amputated his right upper limb, which made the old man critically ill. But the old man lived to the end of his life, his bones were really strong, and he recovered well after the operation, but the symptoms of radiation sickness became chronic, his body suffered a lot of pain, and he was easily fatigued.
"Too much rest is a bad thing." Tian Fuhou was not too happy to hear this. "People lie in bed all day, and they will get sick even if they are not sick."
"Doctor Cai, just leave him alone." Zhang Maidong also had symptoms of chronic radiation sickness, but his condition was milder, and he said in a stern voice: "This old man has been working hard, he is really uncomfortable if he doesn't work! You let him If he goes home to rest, he might as well cut off his other hand."
Tian Fuhoule laughed, and started digging the mud pit with a shovel in his left hand, but his hands and feet were very slow, and he gasped slightly after digging for a while.
And the right hand, which was originally very strong, was empty, only a small part of the upper arm remained.
"We also know that our bodies are not as good as before." The old man panted and sighed, "You have to take it easy, and I can't cause trouble for you."
"Master, it's all right, take your time." Cai Zixuan really admired in his heart that the two old men were dragging their bodies, but they were more agile than him in their work.
"It can't be too slow, there is a lot of work to be done. Seedling support, soil cultivation, cofferdams, watering, all of which have to be in accordance with the season..."
Tian Fuhou said, looking to the north, where his old eyes looked, until the horizon was surrounded by wasteland like this, "Doctor Cai, I really want to live a few more years, plant a few more trees, and replant the trees back to the Go to my forest farm. I didn’t have any regrets in my life before, but now I’m afraid I won’t see that day.”
Cai Zixuan hesitated to speak, touched his forehead, not knowing what to say.
I really hope that Uncle Tian can live a long life, but radiation makes it very likely that Uncle Tian will suffer from cancer within a few years...
"But we can't see it, and you can see it in the future." Tian Fuhou said again, speaking enthusiastically, "I know this land, it can really turn from wasteland into a forest. Now plant the trees, and there will be dozens In a few years, by the time your children and grandchildren will be able to grow to the sky."
At this time, another group of people came and heard these words.
They are young students of Chen Jiahua, Deng Nuotong and other special training classes.
Twenty-six people were sacrificed in the special training class of one hundred people, and all those who survived have officially joined the Bureau of Secrets, and they are candidates for the magic department.
They are all participating in the life forest operation now, working on the one hand and tempering on the other.
Hearing Uncle Tian's words, everyone was enthusiastic. That's right, Wasteland will not be what the future looks like here.
Everyone went up and said hello to senior Cai Zixuan first. Everyone knows that brother Xuan is an old friend of Gu Jun, so everyone was nervous when they first met a few days ago, but now they know that brother Xuan is easy-going and good, so they get along with each other. very ordinary.
Many people Chen Jiahua wanted to meet had never had the chance to meet, such as Gu Jun, Wu Shiyu, the Concentric Team and so on.
Those people are not here right now, they must have other tasks.
Because there is nothing to do at work, everyone rushed to help the old couple. Tian Fuhou looked at their young faces, and his old face softened a lot. He said another thing: "I heard from the news that there were many pregnant women before. The miscarriage may have something to do with this incident."
When it came to this matter, Chen Jiahua and the others didn't make a sound. They didn't know much about it, and they were restrained from talking nonsense by the laws of heaven and earth.
Cai Zixuan nodded with a sigh. Since this situation is global, it has aroused a lot of public opinion. The Bureau did not conceal it, but it did not tell the whole truth.
Countries are still counting the data, but the preliminary figures released, the number of aborted fetuses in the world on that day reached one million, which is a very heavy figure.
There are many other serious situations in this incident, such as the locust disease patients who have lost their lives today, some patients participated in clinical experiments, participated in the demarcation line determination operation, etc., and those dead... many people who had no choice at the time The pain caused by the violation of human nature became more apparent afterward.
Master Tong got very drunk and refused the organization's commendation, saying that he had no credit for it.
Cai Zixuan knew that many of his colleagues also thought the same way, including the Concentric People Team, the Medical Department, and the Old Indian Department.
Everyone doesn't think they are heroes, and they don't want a commendation meeting. They just hope that there is some way to commemorate the dead and let them rest in peace.
"We think," Tian Fuhou sent with feeling, "You young people have more births, and you will come back after a few years."
"Hey, you old man can't read, what do you know?" Zhang Maidong asked his wife to stop talking, sounding embarrassed.
Tian Fuhou looked at his wife and everyone, wondering if he had uttered a wrong word, after all these young people are all college students.
Chen Jiahua and the others were actually stunned. The older generation always had such simple and honest thoughts, so simple and honest that it was almost unreasonable.
"My lord, what you said makes sense." Cai Zixuan sighed with emotion, "My lord means that we can't take care of being sad, and we have to live a good life."
"Yes, yes!" Tian Fuhou immediately agreed. You can see that college students speak differently, "We have to live."
All the young people nodded and learned.
Cai Zixuan got a little impulsive, and proposed to Ban Xia when he turned around! I hope that Hao Jun will come back soon, my old friend won't just disappear like that, when Hao Jun comes back, he and Shi Yu will have a good relationship soon, maybe they can have a baby kiss between their children.
While talking, everyone and the two old men dug a seedling hole.
Then I went to move a sapling of Chinese pagoda tree, planted it in the pit, and then tamped the soil, watered the cofferdam, and a sapling was planted.
Tian Fuhou's thick and dark old face, full of wrinkles like bark, showed a child-like smile.
This is the new Fuhou tree.
The sky was blue and the wind was hot. They, the two old men, and thousands of other people planted saplings one after another, working in full swing.
Gradually, the land in this vast mutation area regained a bit of green, the green of the trees.
Everyone wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Go on, go on.
Everything in the past is prologue.
