They were very shocked when they saw the densely planted apocynum. They didn't know how long it took to plant such dense apocynum.
The captain told Wen Nuan and the others that after the outbreak of the apocalypse, a military base was established in Jiangcheng. The people at the base discovered that desertification was very serious and started planting trees. At the beginning, it was very difficult to plant poplar trees, apocynum and other xerophytes. A lot of them died. Strong winds accompanied by drought and extreme heat made it impossible to plant trees in the desert. Therefore, in order to control sand and wind, they paid a huge price and killed a large number of saplings and people.
However, their sacrifices were not in vain. Now desertification is not as serious as before, and people's lives are guaranteed. However, they don't know what the future will bring, so they can only take one step at a time.
Wen Nuan and they immediately started planting Apocynum, and the cultivation of Apocynum was also very particular.
First of all, the seedlings must be selected, but they don't need to participate in the selection of the seedlings. They have already been selected. But after Nuan Nuan saw it, they chose a seed-collecting plant with tall, strong Apocynum plants, few branches, and long internodes. Apocynum does not have strict soil requirements. It is suitable for well-drained and loose soil. Heavy clay soil is not easy to plant. "Flat, broken, loose, clean, and moist" are the keys to ensuring that the seedlings are healthy and strong.
Apocynum seedlings cannot be short of water. If it is before the end of the world, pressurized drip irrigation must be used. A drip irrigation belt should be laid 50 to 70cm with a flow rate of 3.2L/h. Dig a shallow ditch and lay a drip irrigation tape, covering it with a small amount of soil to prevent the drip irrigation tape from moving.
Sow seeds in time when the ground temperature of 5cm reaches above 12℃. If it is before the end of the world, sowing must be done between April 1 and 15. Sowing too late will have a greater impact on the safe overwintering of Apocynum. Now is the end of the world, and they are not sure what natural disasters will happen next, so they can only plant them first. If there is a lot of rain next, then Apocynum will survive and grow.
There are many Apocynum saplings, and they also bring a lot of seeds. The seeds are planted near the saplings. The people in the camel team have already started to plant the Apocynum saplings one by one. The captain took the three Nuan people and two other teammates to sow the seeds of Apocynum.
Apocynum seeds are small, with 2,300 to 2,500 seeds per gram. The seedlings are thin and difficult to unearth after germination. When sowing, mix the seeds with clean fine sand at a ratio of 1:4, mix evenly and then sprinkle it on the right side of the drip tape. Drip water once a day, and seedlings can emerge in 8 to 10 days. The captain told Wen Nuan that they were only responsible for planting, and someone would come over to do the task of dripping water. They just had to plant the seeds first!
Including later field management, fertilization, pest and disease control, etc., all are handled by dedicated personnel.
This time they brought not many Apocynum saplings, but only ten large sacks of seeds, so the workload was huge, and the temperature in the desert was very high. By noon, they were unbearable and sweating like rain. next, but no one went back to rest. The warmth could no longer be tolerated. They dropped their tools and turned around and left: "If you don't rest, I will rest! When the temperature drops, we will come back to work! Or when it gets dark, we will come Work!"
It's much cooler at night, so why do you have to work in the bright sun?
Zhou Yi and Ruan Lingyu also gave up their jobs. The captain and the others looked at Nuan Nuan and left them alone. They just sighed and did not stop Nuan Nuan and them, and then continued to work hard.
After Nuan Nuan and the others returned to the tent, they confirmed that the camel team had not returned, so he immediately sent Zhou Yi and Ruan Lingyu into the space, and followed him into the space. They drank honeysuckle tea, mung bean soup, and Huo Huo in the space. After drinking the Xiangzhengqi Dropping Pills, Grandpa Zhou also prepared ice cream for them: "I made this ice cream myself. It definitely cannot be compared to before the apocalypse, but it is very delicious. I have tasted it! Try it. Taste it, cool it down!"
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhou!" The ice cream is made of milk and chrysanthemum tea. It has a different taste, but it is delicious. After eating ice cream, they began to feel sleepy, so everyone went back to their rooms and took a nap. At three o'clock in the afternoon, they got up and got out of the space, while the people in the camel team were still working, but not as fast. Soon, Nuan Nuan and they started working after they had enough rest.
The captain and the others were relieved when they saw Nuan Nuan and the others coming over. There was strength in numbers, and the more people working, they could get off work earlier.
After Nuan Nuan planted apocynum for two hours, everyone took a short break, "Why don't you go have a rest? Have you eaten?"
The captain and the others smiled when they saw Wen Nuan, and their hearts trembled with fear: "We haven't eaten, we can't rest, you three are here to work, you can work eight hours a day, but we can't, we planting trees are punishment! Punishment and work, The nature of the two is different!" This is why the captain and the others did not stop Nuan Nuan and the others from leaving to rest. As long as Nuan Nuan and the others completed the eight hours of work, they would not be misremembered or punished.
Wen Nuan smiled clearly. In this case, they would work when it was cool. Anyway, it would not get dark until after ten o'clock in the evening in Jiangcheng.
The captain and others rested for a while. Everyone took out their supplies packages, a pot of water and a naan, and started eating. The desert was too hot, and the naan was too hard to bite, so they had to eat with water. The face is painful.
Seeing that they were eating in great pain, and even their cheeks hurt, Wen Wen only felt sympathy for them. Planting trees is a major event that benefits the country and oneself. She would not laugh at the people who plant trees. As long as they plant trees peacefully, they are worthy of respect, even if This camel team has terrible character.
After they struggled to eat a piece of naan bread, they continued to plant apocynum. They had already started planting it when they ate half a piece of naan bread. Because there was a camel team, they planted trees honestly and did not use special powers. Auxiliary. Even if the people who planted the poplar trees came back and planted apocynum with them, they did not use supernatural assistance until the camel team was too tired and stopped planting. When they returned to the tent, Nuan Nuan and Zhou Yi used control Superpowers, control superpowers. Dig a hole, put Apocynum seeds in the hole, and fill it with soil.
A sack of apocynum was planted in an instant. Each seed was planted very deep. I was worried that if it was planted too shallow, it would be burned to death by the hot sand or blown away by the strong wind.
After planting a bag of apocynum, Wen Nuan and the others returned to the tent, but the people from the camel team had already entered the tent and fell asleep. Everyone was sleeping like dead pigs. Wen Nuan didn't even know they were back, so Wen Wen and the others returned. After washing up in the space, I slept in the tent like last night. Wen Nuan did not squeeze with them, but slept in the space. At about five o'clock in the morning, I left the space, but did not sleep. Out of the tent.
As soon as I got out of the tent, I saw a drip irrigation truck coming and going to the place where they planted apocynum and started watering.
