Chapter 625 Strange

The area of ​​Juyan Sea is rapidly expanding, which makes it necessary to consider the problem of being submerged in advance during the construction of Juyan City.

Therefore, Juyan City is not on the lakeside of Juyanhai, but on the southern highland about 21 kilometers away from the lake.

Of course, the planning department did not abandon water transportation, but set up Juyan City on the west bank of the Ruoshui River, so that water transportation can be used and water can be obtained nearby.

The Ruoshui River, which is more than 20 kilometers long, has a very wide channel, with a width of about 150-300 meters and a depth of about 2.4-3.7 meters. It is more than enough for a 300-ton inland river transport ship to pass.

Zhang Mingdao was operating the rudder, while the lookout, who was in charge of checking the front, rear, left, and right sides, was holding a telescope to keep an eye on the surrounding situation.

"Head! There is a transport ship approaching from behind, the distance is 2.7 kilometers."

"Know."

The first officer picked up the walkie-talkie, checked the ship number of the other party, and adjusted the channel: "Beifeng 157, this is Huanghe 113, do you want to overtake?"

"Hiss... yes, I'm going to send a batch of sheepskins to Zhangye, and I expect to meet you in 5 minutes. Be careful and avoid them. I wish you all the best of luck."

"Okay, my ship will take the first channel on the west side."

"Hiss... no problem, my ship is going to the third channel on the west side."

The inland waterway of the Human Revolutionary Union has strict regulations, such as going left and right, and a width of 12 meters is a standard inland waterway.

For the lower reaches of Ruoshui River with a width of 150-300 meters, except for the 5 meters near the river bank,

It belongs to the non-navigable area, and other areas are navigable, and generally can be divided into many waterways.

When ships are approaching, they should not drive casually, but should inform each other of the situation to avoid accidents.

Zhang Mingdao's Yellow River No. 113 boat blew its whistle after meeting the other party.

beep...

The other party responded quickly.

beep...

More than half an hour later, Zhang Mingdao saw the light tower entering the port in Juyan City, and under the guidance of the light tower, he quickly entered the artificial lake port.

In the port, there is a new type of electric loading and unloading machine, which does not require manual handling.

Zhang Mingdao shouted: "Ah Wen, Brick, let's go eat, Lao Lin and Xiao Kai, you stay behind."

Arwen, a young man wearing goggles, is a lookout.

And Brick is a mechanic who also works as a boiler worker. In fact, this kind of ship is equipped with a mechanical coal feeder and does not need to shovel coal, but the mechanic must change roles at any time. When mechanical coal cannot be delivered, manually add coal to the boiler. coal.

The three got off the boat and walked on the pier street.

As the center of the state capital of Juyan Prefecture, it is naturally very prosperous, not only a river port, but also an airport.

As a Goguryeo native, Ah Wen even heard a lot of Goguryeo.

In fact, this is very normal. The Human Revolutionary Federation will not allow a group of ethnic groups to live together in one place, and Juyan Prefecture is no exception.

In addition to Han people and Goguryeo people, there are Shiwei people, Tuyuhun people, Xi people and Tiele people.

The Ruoshui River Basin at this time is not the desert of later generations, but a prairie with lush water and grass.

After the Human Revolutionary Union took control of this place, it quickly changed the previous nomadic model into a modern pasture model.

In fact, the entire Juyan Prefecture is the Alxa Desert of later generations, but the Alxa Desert at this time has not yet been connected into one piece, and the desert area is only more than 60,000 square kilometers.

According to the latest administrative divisions, there are five prefectures in Juyan Prefecture. From west to east, they are Juyan Mansion, Xinhu Mansion, Helan Mansion, Beisha Mansion, and Donggu Mansion.

Among them, Juyan Mansion, Xinhu Mansion, Beisha Mansion, and Donggu Mansion are all in the lowlands of the vast sea.

Only Helan Mansion is in the grassland to the west of Helan Mountain.

The reason why there is the setting of Helan Mansion is actually because of the Minqin Mansion in Hexi Prefecture.

Minqin Mansion, like Helan Mansion, was also outside the core area. At this time, Minqin City was built near Baiting Lake and Qingyu Lake, on the lower reaches of the Shiyang River, and not on the Hexi Corridor.

But it seems that it is not at the core, but in fact it is not unchangeable.

Because the second phase of the Hexi Canal project is to divert the Yellow River into the Tengger Desert, divert 4 billion cubic meters of river water into the Shiyang River, and then let both rivers flow into the lowlands of the Hanhai Sea.

That is to say, whether it is the Shiyanghe Canal in Minqin or the Tengger Canal in Helan Mansion, they will all flow to the lowlands of the Hanhai Sea. At that time, the importance of the two places will be different.

At the same time, the desert area can be divided to further curb the expansion of the desert and expand the area of ​​pastures and farms.

Therefore, the core development area of ​​Juyan Prefecture is actually the canal area.

As for whether it will affect the ecology, it will definitely affect it, but there is no need to worry about it.

After all, Juyanhai was a lake with an area of ​​60,000 to 70,000 square kilometers in ancient times.

The same is true for Minqin Oasis. In the Western Han Dynasty, there was still a large lake with an area of ​​4,000 square kilometers. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it degenerated into Baiting Lake and Qingyu Lake, with an area of ​​1,300 square kilometers.

As for the Minqin Oasis in ancient times, the lake area was as high as 15,000 square kilometers, three times larger than Qinghai Lake.

In other words, instead of worrying about climate change, it is better to think about if more water resources are injected here, so that it can be restored to the state of ancient times.

Ecology itself is a dynamic issue. The present desert was not necessarily a desert 10,000 years ago.

...

On the pier street, there are many restaurants and snack bars.

The greedy Ah Wen already held an ice cream in his hand.

Although the joys and sorrows of human beings are not interlinked, their love for food is highly consistent.

"Huh..." Zhang Mingdao stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Awen asked confusedly.

Looking along the line of sight, I found that not far away was a Tianzhu restaurant.

Brick, who didn't say a word, seldom said: "Could it be driven by a navy veteran?"

"Go and have a look." Zhang Mingdao took the lead and walked towards this Tianzhu restaurant.

After going in.

There were more than a dozen guests eating, and the boss was not a navy veteran, but a middle-aged man who was obviously from Tianzhu.

Zhang Mingdao looked at the menu. They were all in simplified characters and Tianzhu numerals. There were color photos of the dishes on the side for the convenience of illiterate guests. While looking at the menu, he asked the boss:

"My fellow, did you really come from Tianzhu?"

The boss replied in poor standard language: "Yes... I am... from Tianzhu..."

After listening to the boss's description, Zhang Mingdao knew about the other party's bizarre experience.

This guy is from the Gundam Kingdom. After being captured by the Assamese more than ten years ago, he was sold to a Tubo tribe.

Then in Tubo, I experienced several masters, and four years ago, I was caught by the Tuyuhun people in Qingtang.

Last year when the People's Revolutionary League attacked Qingtang, he was moved from Tuyuhun to Juyan Prefecture, where he settled down.

"Don't you want to go back to Tianzhu to have a look?"

"It's too far away. My previous family members have already gone to see Lord Shiva. It's very good here." The boss smiled with his big white teeth.

In fact, it can be seen from the skin color that this boss is a typical low caste, so naturally, he has nothing to commemorate his so-called hometown.

Zhang Mingdao turned his head and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Curry Haggis."

"I want a curry blood sausage rice."

Zhang Mingdao pointed to the menu and said to the boss, "One serving of curry blood sausage rice, two servings of curry haggis and rice, plus three glasses of lemonade."

The boss also pointed to the menu, reconfirmed with Zhang Mingde, and then wrote a series of Tianzhu numbers on a small note.

With the arrival of lunch time, there are more and more customers in the store.

Many of them are speaking standard language of various prairie flavors, and Zhang Mingde's head is full of melon seeds and eight vegetables.

In the grassland where spices are extremely scarce, even salt has to be imported from the Central Plains. Naturally, they have never eaten heavy food such as curry, especially the herdsmen who joined the Human Revolutionary League. .

Boss Tianzhu also accidentally discovered that most of the spices for making curry are included in the products of the supply and marketing cooperative, and the price is not too expensive. He used to be a cook for a Brahmin landlord and secretly learned how to make curry powder.

Of course, his curry recipe actually leans towards the spicy side.

Among the supply and marketing cooperatives, there are green curry lumps, sweet curry lumps and white curry lumps produced by Tianzhu Factory after the improvement of Baiyulou.

Grassland herdsmen mostly like champagne rice with strong taste and bad taste. It is very popular when paired with curry.

After a while, the meals for Zhang Mingdao and the others arrived.

Juyan Prefecture has a large population of nearly 80,000 people. Apart from ranch workers, there are workers in saltworks and government-run industries.

As for ordinary farmers, they were not allocated here.

This is mainly because Juyan Prefecture is not suitable for a small-scale peasant economy, but to develop large pastures and large farms. The sunshine time, accumulated land temperature, and continuous water resources here are very suitable for large-scale mechanized production.

For example, cotton, alfalfa, onion, sweet sorghum, watermelon, muskmelon and cantaloupe are all suitable for planting here.

The total area of ​​Juyan Prefecture is 150,000 square kilometers, the usable grassland area is about 80,000 square kilometers, and the cultivated land is about 15,000 square kilometers.

With the advancement of the canal, part of the remaining 60,000 square kilometers of sandy land can also be transformed into grassland and cultivated land.

These places with flat land are sparsely populated. It would be a waste of resources if we don't build big farms and pastures.

If it is allocated to individuals, it will be difficult for farmers and herdsmen to develop it rationally, and it will even cause rapid land degradation. After all, it is really difficult for farmers and herdsmen with limited knowledge and no large funds to develop scientifically.

After Zhang Mingdao and others had lunch, they packed a portion for Lao Lin and Xiao Kai who stayed behind in stainless steel lunch boxes.

When they returned to the city, the transportation company found another transportation order for them to transport 150 tons of salt and 10 tons of soda ash to Beifu.

These table salt and soda ash are produced from the salt lake in Juyan Prefecture.

After resting at the port for one night, Zhang Mingdao re-entered the Hanhai Canal in his boat early the next morning.
