Group prompt: "Reed Richards has sent you an exclusive red envelope, please click to receive it."
Lu Zixin received the red envelope and received the "Earth" sand adhesive formula given to him by Mr. Fantastic.
Lu Zixin thanked her, and after meeting Aitehong, he wanted to ask her about the architectural design of the medical research center.
Red Queen: "(Confused expression of an anthropomorphic little yellow duck: What are you doing duck?)"
Mr. L: "How about the medical research center design I mentioned last time?"
Red Queen: "(Expression: I don’t know.)"
Mr. L: "Really? I'm asking for Hong Xiaoxiao. Then I'll tell her you don't know."
Upon hearing this, Queen Hong quickly changed her tone and said: "(Expression: omniscient duck!) Of course I know, I have already modified it."
The medical research center she designed is somewhat similar to the hive base, with both above-ground and underground parts.
The underground part is not as exaggerated as the hive going deep into the ground, but it still has dozens of floors of buildings, which will house research centers for various diseases.
The above-ground part is the first modern building in the future city, Hongxin International Hospital.
In addition, the Red Queen also provided architectural drawings for the "Gene Research Institute" and the "Gene Bank".
Biomedicine is inevitably indispensable for genetic research. Many diseases can be traced back to changes in genes. Hongxin's genetic research will start after the medical research center is completed.
…
In a materials laboratory somewhere in Hongxin, the researchers who got the formula quickly prepared the "Dadi" sand and soil adhesive.
The adhesive is colorless and odorless, and does not cause any harm to the human body or other living organisms. Its function is to make the small particles of sand more tightly bonded and have the same stickiness as soil.
In the laboratory, Lu Zixin held up a handful of yellow sand, opened his palms, and the yellow sand slipped from his fingers and scattered all over the floor.
After pouring water on it, the yellow sand reluctantly gathered into a ball under the influence of water. However, under sunlight, within two minutes, the water evaporated completely, and the yellow sand was still yellow sand without any change.
A researcher nearby said: "The natural conditions in the desert are even worse. It doesn't take two minutes, or even just ten seconds, for the water to completely evaporate. Yellow sand cannot retain water, let alone planting trees to control sand."
“The next step is a comparative trial of adding sand and soil binders.”
The same yellow sand is mixed with a certain proportion of sand binder and mixed with water. This time, the yellow sand turned into a mud-like existence, and it still stuck together when picked up.
Under sunlight conditions, the yellow sand mixed with sand and soil binders is also evaporating water, but the speed is much slower than before.
Half an hour later, the surface water has evaporated, but the yellow sand is still condensed together, which is dry loess.
"After our comparative analysis, the yellow sand mixed with binders has roughly the same properties as yellow mud. It can store water and nutrients and resist sand erosion. And we have also made improvements to this, matching the needs of plant growth. The nutrients are directly added to the sand binder, so that the modified yellow sand can directly become an adapted soil for plant growth! ”
"Very good. How is the production efficiency?" Lu Zixin praised their improvements. After adding the nutrients needed by plants, the yellow sand can not only solidify and preserve water, but also promote the growth of vegetation, so that the desert can change faster. Become fertile soil.
"It can be supplied completely! Pengyun Machinery is already producing the corresponding production equipment. With a slight modification of the factory's production line, large-scale production can be achieved." the person in charge replied.
"Immediately complete all procedures and produce as planned." Lu Zixin approved the project.
A month later, in the Taklimakan Desert, within the area applied for by the Hongxin Group, large trucks drove here. On the trucks were barrels of "earth" sand adhesive transported from the factory.
Correspondingly, there are also mixing engineering vehicles and pipelines pulled from water sources dozens of kilometers away.
"This is our testing ground." In a commercial vehicle, Lu Zixin and a group of government department managers arrived here.
Today, Hongxin Group will conduct a sand soil transformation test on this 100-acre experimental land. Similarly, this method is also used to prove the scientific and technological strength of Hongxin Group in order to obtain the rights to transform 10 million acres of desert.
"There is yellow sand everywhere. Twenty years ago, I visited here for inspection. At that time, there were Haloxylon ammodendron trees, Populus euphratica, and a small river growing here. Now, there is nothing." A certain person from the National Environmental Protection Administration A leader sighed.
"The erosion of the desert is too serious, mainly due to the lack of water resources. In the past, this underground area had river seepage water from the Kunlun Mountains water system. However, in recent years, excessive use of groundwater resources has led to a lack of water resources in these areas and the death of vegetation. , aggravating desertification," the accompanying geological expert explained.
"In the early years, our province invested a large amount of money in desert control here, but the results were not satisfactory. We can only build a protective forest further away, which requires a large amount of money to maintain every year." The provincial leader said.
"If Hongxin Group can solve this problem and transform this desert, the province will definitely support you!"
"Haha, just wait and see, leaders. It only takes us three days to restore this hundred acres of land to its glory twenty years ago!" Lu Zixin said with a smile.
"Three days? Mr. Lu, your words are too exaggerated!" the leader of the Environmental Protection Bureau said, "Three years is about the same."
"It used to take three years, but now with our sand adhesive, three days is enough." Lu Zixin pointed to the accompanying convoy and said, "This time, just the sand adhesive, saplings, Water, machinery and equipment, etc. are worth nearly one billion!”
These costs are mainly due to mechanical equipment, which can be used repeatedly, so Lu Zixin doesn't feel bad.
"Then let's see how an investment of one billion can transform this hundred acres of desert in three days!" said the provincial leader.
"Start construction!" Lu Zixin gave an order to the communication equipment, and the convoy behind him roared, passing through the dunes one after another, and began construction.
At the front is the large-scale sand and soil transformation vehicle designed and produced by Pengyun Machinery. The front of it resembles an excavator, shoveling shovelfuls of yellow sand into the mixing device of the vehicle body.
In the mixing device, a certain amount of sand and soil adhesive will be added, and the mixed soil will be spread on the ground. The construction workers behind will water it, and the ground will look like a layer of mud.
This time, many of the construction projects are fully automated and mechanically controlled. Different from the traditional desert protection, this transformation is like the advancement of a mechanical army. Wherever it goes, the yellow sand turns into yellow mud, and the arrogant wind and sand in the desert retreat step by step under the advancement of the transformation vehicle.
