A notification popped up in the group: "Reed Richards has sent you an exclusive red packet. Please click to receive it."
Lu Zixin accepted the red packet and received the formula for the "Big Earth" sand adhesive from Mr. Miraculous.
Lu Zixin thanked him and tagged the Red Queen to ask her about the design of the medical research center.
The Red Queen: "(Confused, anthropomorphic yellow duck emoji: What are you doing?)"
Mr. L: "What about the design of the medical research center we talked about last time?"
The Red Queen: "(Don't know)."
Mr. L: "Is that so? I'm asking on behalf of the Red Queen. Then I'll tell her that you don't know. "
When the Red Queen heard that, she quickly changed her tone and said, "(Don't know). Of course, I know. I've already modified it. "
The medical research center she designed was similar to the Beehive base. They both had two parts above ground and underground.
The underground part wasn't as deep as the Beehive, but it also had dozens of floors. There would be a research center for various diseases.
The aboveground part was the first modern building in the City of the Future, the Hongxin International Hospital.
In addition, the Red Queen also provided the blueprints for the "Genetic Research Institute" and the "Genetic Library."
Genetic research was inevitable in biomedicine. Many diseases were traced to changes in genes. Hongxin's genetic research would start after the medical research center was built.
…
In a materials laboratory somewhere in Hongxin, the researchers who received the formula quickly created the "Big Earth" sand adhesive.
The adhesive was colorless and tasteless. It was harmless to the human body and other organisms. Its function was to make the sand particles bond more closely together and have the stickiness of mud.
In the laboratory, Lu Zixin picked up a handful of yellow sand and opened his palm. The yellow sand slid through his fingers and scattered on the ground.
After pouring water, the yellow sand barely gathered into a ball under the influence of the water. However, under the sun, the water evaporated in less than two minutes. The yellow sand was still yellow sand without any change.
The researcher next to him explained, "The natural conditions of the desert are even worse. It won't take two minutes, or even ten seconds, for the water to evaporate completely. Yellow sand can't hold water, let alone plant trees to control the sand.
"Next, we'll add sand as a binder for comparison."
The same yellow sand was mixed with a certain proportion of sand as a binder, then mixed with water. This time, the yellow sand turned into a mud-like existence, sticking together when grabbed.
Under the conditions of sunlight, the yellow sand mixed with the sand adhesive was also evaporating water, but the rate was much slower than before.
Half an hour later, the water on the surface had evaporated completely, but the yellow sand was still condensed together, forming a dry yellow soil.
"After our comparative analysis, the properties of yellow sand mixed with the adhesive are about the same as yellow mud. It can store water, nutrients, and resist the erosion of sandstorms. Furthermore, we have also made improvements to this. We have directly added the nutrients required for plant growth into the sand binder. This way, the modified yellow sand can directly become suitable soil for plant growth! "
"Very good. How is the production efficiency? " Lu Zixin praised their improvement. After adding the nutrients needed by plants, the yellow sand could not only solidify and preserve water, but also promote the growth of vegetation. In this way, the desert could become fertile soil faster.
"It's completely possible! Pengyun Machinery is already producing the corresponding production equipment. With a slight modification of the factory's production line, it can be mass produced. "The person in charge replied.
"Immediately complete all procedures and produce according to the plan." Lu Zixin approved the project.
A month later, in the Taklimakan Desert, in the area applied by Hongxin Group, a large truck drove here. On the truck, there were barrels of "big earth" sand binder transported from the factory.
Correspondingly, there were mixing engineering vehicles and pipelines from the water source dozens of kilometers away.
"This is our testing ground." In a commercial vehicle, Lu Zixin and a group of government officials arrived at the testing ground.
Today, Hongxin Group would conduct a sand transformation experiment on this one hundred mu experimental site. At the same time, they would use this method to prove Hongxin Group's technological prowess, so that they could obtain the rights to transform ten million mu of desert.
"There's yellow sand everywhere. Twenty years ago, I came here for an inspection. At that time, there were still haloxylon hyacinth trees, poplar trees, and a small river. Now, everything is gone. "A leader of the National Environmental Protection Agency sighed.
"The erosion of the desert is too serious, mainly because of the lack of water resources. In the past, there was water from the Kunlun Mountain water system underground, but in recent years, the excessive use of underground water resources has led to the lack of water resources in these areas, the withering of vegetation, and increased the desertification. "The accompanying geological expert explained.
"A few years ago, our province invested a large amount of money to carry out desert management, but the results were not ideal. We can only build shelter forests further away, which requires a large amount of money to maintain every year." The leader of the province said.
"If Hongxin Group can solve this problem and transform this desert, the province will definitely support you!"
"Haha, then please wait and see. This one hundred mu of land, we only need three days to restore it to the glory of twenty years ago! "Lu Zixin laughed.
"Three days? General Lu, your words are too exaggerated! "The leader of the Environmental Protection Agency said." Three years is more like it. "
"In the past, it naturally needed three years, but now with our sand binder, three days is enough." Lu Zixin pointed to the accompanying team and said, "This time, the sand binder, saplings, water, mechanical equipment, and so on needed for the transformation cost nearly one billion!"
These costs were mainly for the mechanical equipment. Anyway, it can be used again and again, so Lu Zixin did not feel distressed.
"Then let us see, with one billion investment, how can we transform this one hundred mu of desert in three days!" The leader of the province said.
"Let's start!" Lu Zixin ordered the communication device, and the team behind him roared, trying to test the sand dunes, and began to work.
At the front was a large sand transformation car designed and produced by Peng Yun Machinery. Its front was similar to an excavator, shoveling yellow sand into the mixing device of the car body.
In the mixing device, a certain amount of sand binder will be added, and the mixed soil will be spread on the ground. The construction staff behind will water, and the ground will be covered with a layer of mud.
This time, a lot of the work was fully automated mechanical control. Unlike the traditional desert protection, this transformation was like the advancement of a mechanical army. Everywhere it went, the yellow sand turned into yellow mud, and the rampant sand in the desert was pushed back step by step by the transformation car.
