Chapter 90 The desert turns into an oasis, is this oriental magic?
After that, the train continued to move forward, and Martha and the audience in the live broadcast room finally understood what Lin Yan meant by "Don't be too picky about basic exercises".
They had not only encountered disasters in Gua County, the "Blue Star Wind Capital" along the way? Along the way, in the Baili District and Sanshili District, which places had weaker winds? Which places had no sand? Although they had not encountered sudden sandstorms of the level that covered the sky and the sun, there were always smaller sandstorms!
At first, Martha was still worried for a while, and she would get nervous when she saw the sandstorm. But later, even she became numb, and when she saw the sandstorm, she would directly check the speed of the train.
"Well, it's still 200. I don't even need to slow down or prevent the wind. It's just a little windy and sandy."
——It seems like he has learned bad habits from Lin Yan!
Not to mention, slowing down and preventing wind are only the most basic wind-proof measures for this train.
Along the way, Martha saw countless roadbed windbreaks, bridge windbreaks, windbreak tunnels and other facilities, all of which were first-class windbreaks. Especially the windbreak tunnels that could be seen every few sections, built directly in the endless desert wilderness. Once the wind started, as long as the train stopped in the windbreak tunnel, no matter how strong the wind was, it would not hurt the train at all.
Such large-scale wind-proof measures stunned Martha.
"No, Yan, how dangerous is this road? This is not a normal railway protection measure, right? Not to mention this sudden sandstorm, I feel like even a typhoon can't do anything to this train!"
I'm envious! I'm really envious!
This comprehensive wind and sand protection system is more attractive than anything else for people born in desert countries!
But Martha was also a little confused. Was it really necessary to mobilize such a large force?
Lin Yan spread his hands and said, "We were lucky not to encounter a really severe sandstorm this time. This level of protective measures may seem useless at ordinary times, but once an accident occurs, it can really save lives. You don't think there are no sandstorms with winds of more than 10 levels here, do you?"
Is it really possible?!
Martha was startled.
"Why, you take a look first?"
"No, no, no! I don't want to watch it! I absolutely don't want to watch it! I've already been badly hurt by the rainstorm before, I absolutely don't want to be caught up in some weird natural disaster again!"
Martha said bitterly, holding her head.
She did have some PTSD about natural disasters. Whether it was the rainstorm a few days ago or the sandstorms she had experienced many times before, she had no good feelings towards these natural disasters and just wanted them to be as far away from her as possible.
Seeing her like this, Lin Yan stopped teasing her. He looked at the wind and sand outside the window and said proudly:
"A netizen asked a good question in the live broadcast room before: How was this railway designed? Why does it pass through so many dangerous places?"
"But we have no choice."
"Of all the high-speed rail lines leading to Western Xinjiang, this one is the least dangerous. The remaining lines are either more dangerous than this one, or they are beyond the reach of current human technology."
"Countless people in Western Xinjiang are also of Chinese descent. Just because of a little danger, should they be deprived of the right to enjoy the convenience brought by the high-speed rail in their hometown?" "That doesn't make sense! No matter how many difficulties we Chinese face, we will completely flatten them! If a mountain is blocking the road, we will move it away; if sand is blocking the road, we will fix the sand! The so-called life restricted zone cannot stop us Chinese!"
"In fact, the wind-proof and sand-fixing measures you can see now are just the tip of the iceberg."
Prince Abel couldn't help but leave a message in the live broadcast room:
"Host, does China have other means of preventing wind? Can you briefly introduce them?"
Lin Yan replied: "Of course there are. These wind-proof measures are only temporary expedients. I'm going to say something that you may not believe now, and I can't prove it to you now - China's real way to fight sandstorms is to completely eliminate the existence of deserts, and turn all the deserts in Western Xinjiang into lush oases!"
Cough, cough, cough, cough!!
Prince Abel was so excited that his mouth was dry and he couldn't help but drink a sip of water. When he heard Lin Yan's "crazy words", he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of water.
There was no need for him to express any opinions, the live broadcast room was in chaos:
"No, host, you have been acting strange since yesterday! First you said that there are a lot of seafood in inland desert areas like Western Xinjiang, and now you are simply saying that China wants to eliminate all the deserts in Western Xinjiang and turn them into oases - are you really crazy?"
"Indeed, there won't be any problem with sandstorms. As long as you never get sick, you won't die from illness. Is that right?"
"Turning a desert into an oasis, is this technology something modern humans can master? The alchemy of turning stone into gold has long been disproven. Are you Chinese still living in the Middle Ages?"
"We, the Chieftain of the Alliance, are putting this on the table. If you, China, can really turn the desert into an oasis, how much will this technology cost? You, China, just tell us a number. Even if the number is ridiculously high, we, the Chieftain of the Alliance, are willing to get it even if it costs the entire country donations!"
"I agree. This technology is priceless to us, the Arab Emirates. No, the entire oil producing region will go crazy for this technology! You Chinese just need to give us a number and don't worry about anything else. As long as money can solve the problem, it's not a problem!"
"The premise is that you Chinese really have this technology!"
People from other countries just regarded Lin Yan's words as a joke.
But Chief Allen cannot be a joke!
What if!
What if this Chinese anchor wasn't lying? Just like every time he questioned it before, did China really have this seemingly impossible technology?
There is a desert in my house! My house is really troubled by sandstorms every day!
If the desert of the Arab Emirates can be turned into an oasis, it is no exaggeration to say that all the citizens of the Arab Emirates are willing to give up half of their wealth in exchange for this result!
Martha was serious now, too.
"Yan, you can't brag in front of me! I'm serious now. If you were teasing me just now, just admit it openly. Then everyone will just think you were joking and won't take it too seriously."
As a princess, how could she not realize the importance of this technology to the Emir of Allen?
Lin Yan spread his hands and said, "I never brag about this kind of thing. We in China are indeed exploring ways to completely transform the desert into an oasis. Although we are still a long way from final success, we have indeed achieved certain results. If you don't believe me, I will take you to see it - of course, we have to wait until we get to Wushi."
There have been some results!!!
How could Martha and Abel listen to anything else at this moment? Just these few words were enough to make them, no, the entire Arab Emirates, the entire oil producing area, crazy!
