Chapter 2980 The value of 100 million acres
【Revision】
After listening to Yang Fang's introduction, Wu Hao and Zhang Jun looked around and compared. Indeed, the bamboo forest here after artificial intervention grew more luxuriantly, and the plants were denser, basically covering the sand on the ground. As for the bamboo forest over there that has grown completely naturally without artificial intervention, the height of the plants is smaller, which is obviously lower than here, and you can also see the exposed yellow sand.
"The difference is obvious. Although the growth here is better, the cost of manual intervention will probably be very high." Wu Hao nodded, then looked at Shen Ning and asked.
Hearing Wu Hao's inquiry, Shen Ning immediately replied with a smile: "Actually, the cost is not high. The first is the cost of fertilizer. On average, it costs more than one hundred yuan per mu of land. Ten thousand acres is only about one million yuan. .
You don’t need too much water. You only need to water some water during the bamboo shoots’ germination stage every year. The cost is actually not very high.
Of course, if it is one million acres, ten million acres, or one hundred million acres, it is not a small number after all. Therefore, in the long run, this kind of bamboo forest that grows naturally without artificial intervention is more economical. "
“I can’t say which way is better, it depends on the actual needs.”
After hearing this, Yang Fang immediately shook her head and said: "Natural growth is slow and the quality is poor. It cannot meet relevant requirements quickly. Especially in wind prevention and desertification control projects, this beginning is the most important.
By using artificial intervention, we can first cultivate some protective isolation belts to isolate the wind and sand, and then use the plants in the square grid composed of these isolation belts to let them grow naturally. This mixed method is more reasonable and more capable. Meet the requirements. "
After hearing Yang Fang's words, Wu Hao and Zhang Jun couldn't help but nodded. Indeed, there is no better way, only that way is more suitable.
Besides, even if all of them adopt this method of manual intervention, the cost itself is not expensive and is within a reasonable and acceptable range.
We add fertilizer, water, seedlings, and planting and maintenance costs per acre, which adds up to about 400 yuan. Ten thousand acres is only 4 million, 100,000 acres is 40 million, and one million acres is 400 million. Ten million acres is worth 40 billion, and 100 million acres is only 40 billion.
You know, the red line of cultivated land delineated by our country is only 1.8 billion acres. It only costs 40 billion to own 100 million acres of high-quality forest land. This is a great deal.
Even if calculated based on the land red line of 1.8 billion acres of forest land, it is only 720 billion, which seems a bit much, but in actual calculation it is simply too cheap.
You know, 100 million acres of forest land is 67,000 square kilometers, and 1.8 billion acres is 1.2 million square kilometers. What is the concept? It is almost the area of a Tibetan province, which is equivalent to ours. Almost one-eighth of the entire land area.
The economic and environmental benefits it generates are much higher than the 720 billion, and the overall calculation is simply worth it.
Of course, this is just a comparison. No one said that it is necessary to plant a bamboo sea as large as Tibet Province. This is obviously not practical. But in summary, even if it costs one trillion, if we can complete the afforestation of all desert and arid areas in our country, then this trillion will be well spent and benefit future generations.
However, the desertification control project cannot be realized overnight. It is a long-term project and we cannot complete it at once. This is obviously unrealistic.
This project will take a long time, starting in ten years, and may take twenty, thirty, fifty, or even one hundred years. As long as we persist, one day the Gobi desert will disappear from our domestic territory.
Of course, it might not take that long. With the application of new technologies, especially the application of plant gene editing technology of Haoyu Agriculture, there may be a very big change in the northwest in ten or twenty years.
After hovering in the air for a few more times, Wu Hao then pressed his hands and said, "Get down."
"Okay!" Shen Ning responded and immediately communicated with the pilot.
Soon the helicopter flew to a raised steel platform deep in the large bamboo forest and landed. Wu Hao and the others faced the strong wind from the helicopter propeller, bent down and got off the helicopter, and then left the plane. .
The helicopter did not stop, but lifted up gently, and then flew away, and the scene immediately returned to silence.
Shen Ning took the opportunity to introduce the situation here with a smile at Wu Hao: "This is a helicopter landing platform we have in the forest area, used for helicopter landing. After all, this forest area is too It is too big to be easily accessible and difficult to manage. Therefore, in daily life, we use helicopters or drones to conduct inspections and management.
At the same time, these platforms are also our foothold when entering the forest area, so that we can often observe the internal environment of the forest area and conduct related work. "
Wu Hao nodded, and then he and Zhang Jun came to the edge of the platform. The surroundings were full of green bamboo shoots. And the heights of these bamboos are actually about the same, so the bamboo tips are basically the same height. From a distance, they look like a green grassland, stretching as far as the eye can see.
These bamboo shoots sway slowly under the breeze, and the breeze contains some fragrance of bamboo.
"It's so comfortable!" Zhang Jun couldn't help but sigh as he spread his arms and felt the breeze.
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "It's very good. Those who don't know would think we are in the Bamboo Sea in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Yes, we all felt this way when we went deeper. If it weren't for the yellow sand under our feet that reminded us, we really thought we were in Jiangnan." Shen Ning replied with a smile.
Wu Hao nodded, then waved and said, "Let's go down and have a look."
Immediately, everyone slowly walked down the iron ladder. Although it is not the kind of ladder that goes straight up and down, this iron ladder is still very steep, and the stairway is very narrow and can only accommodate one person.
Walking down the stairs, Wu Hao and the others put on the shoe covers given by the staff to prevent sand from getting into their shoes. In addition, this kind of shoe cover is also a kind of protection to prevent mosquitoes from getting in. Especially in this desert forest area, there are all kinds of snakes and insects, such as the most common red scorpion, and some venomous snakes, etc., all of which like the humid environment of this forest area very much.
The entire platform is surrounded by lush bamboos, and through the bamboo tops, bits and pieces of light shine down. However, it is very cool up there, and there is no heat from the sun on the platform.
With the platform as the center, several trails radiate out from all sides. The trails are very narrow and you can see that they are created by the staff who often walk on them.
