I collect gold fingers in the heavens

Chapter 545 Tengger Desert, Sun Lake, Engineering Team

July 2021.

This month, the national natural disaster risk situation is still severe.

Droughts and floods are equally severe in the northern region. Regional heavy rains and floods occurred in the upper reaches of the Jialing River and Han River in the Yangtze River Basin, the Wei River and the upper Huai River in the Yellow River Basin, and some rivers exceeded the warning level.

However, the risk of drought in the Northwest and other places continues.The temperature in most parts of the country is close to the same period of the year to high, and the precipitation in western South China, southern Southwest China, southern Tibet, western Inner Mongolia, Hexi, Gansu and other places is 2-5% lower, and the impact of drought is becoming more and more serious, causing serious obstacles to agricultural production.

The risk of flood disasters in many places in the north and south is high, and regional heavy rainfall in some areas has caused disaster risks such as floods in small and medium rivers, mountain torrents, and urban and rural waterlogging.

Severe convective weather will still occur frequently in various places in September. Locally, there will be strong convective weather such as short-term heavy precipitation, thunderstorms, and hail, causing secondary disasters such as mountain torrents, short-term waterlogging, landslides, and mudslides.

[Elephant Weather] has played a great role in weather forecasting, providing accurate weather reference for emergency rescue and disaster relief in various places, as well as early prevention.

This month is also a month when [Chaoqun Group] cooperates with the country to vigorously develop seawater desalination projects.

Although [Chaoqun Group] voluntarily gave up the dominance and control in this cooperation, the whole [Chaoqun Group] also attaches great importance to this project.

Huang Yuping even flew to the northwest to inspect the [Chaoqun Group]'s [Salt Water Desalination Project] in the Tengger Desert!
The Tengger Desert is located in the southwestern part of Alxa Left Banner in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the central border of GS Province, on the South Vietnam Great Wall, reaching Helan Mountain in the east and Yabrai Mountain in the west.

It is 240 kilometers long from north to south, 160 kilometers wide from east to west, and has a total area of ​​about 4.3 square kilometers. It is the fourth largest desert in China. It is the eastern part of the Alxa Desert and the bottom of the Yin'e Basin.

Inside the Tengger Desert, there are sand dunes, lake basins, grasslands, mountains, remnant hills and plains interlacedly distributed.

Sand dunes account for 71% of the area, mainly mobile sand dunes, most of which are lattice dune chains and barchan dune chains, mostly between 10 and 20 meters in height. There are 422 lake basins, half of which have accumulated water and are dry or dry. Setback Remnant Lake.

The stagnant water in the lake basin mainly comes from underground springs and temporary rainfall, especially the Moon Lake in the desert, which is about 3 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide. It is among all the lakes in the Tengger Desert. , the only original ecological lake with a coastline, and half of the lake is fresh water and half is salt water.

The Tengger Desert receives only 100 to 200 millimeters of precipitation every year. It is impossible to rely on this precipitation to maintain the existence of so many lakes in the desert.

The reason why there are so many lakes in the desert is because of the replenishment of surrounding groundwater.

The Tengger Desert is actually surrounded by surrounding mountains.

The southernmost is the Qilian Mountains. It is the "water tower" in western my country. It has a tall mountain with a glacier area of ​​more than 2000 square kilometers and a water storage capacity of 1320 billion cubic meters, which is equivalent to the water storage capacity of five full-filled Poyang Lakes or four Three Gorges Reservoirs.

Uncle Dong in "The Wrangler" once said to the hero that the wind that blows down from Qilian Mountain at night is bone-chilling.

Surrounding the Qilian Mountains, there are dozens of oases, large and small, in my country, especially the Hexi Corridor, which has become an important livable place for human beings.

On the other side of the Tengger Desert is Helan Mountain.Helan Mountain is more than 2000 meters above sea level. It is such a high mountain. The annual precipitation is still very sufficient, which makes this mountain range green.

These lakes in the Tengger Desert are at a lower altitude and are the lowest point in the desert, while the higher terrain around the Tengger Desert facilitates the collection of groundwater.

From the perspective of terrain, the Tengger Desert is somewhat similar to the basin in the terrain, but the surrounding mountains are not high, far less than the height difference between the Tarim Basin and the Sichuan Basin, but such terrain is also enough to gather groundwater and maintain the lakes in the desert. The presence.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...........

Sun Lake, located deep in the Tengger Desert, is a relatively large saltwater lake.

Roads have been built here, because there are complete facilities such as electricity, accommodation and water sources.

Sun Lake cannot see the edge at a glance. Because of its large area, the salinity is relatively low. There are a lot of reeds growing on both sides of the lake.

But looking farther away, there are continuous sand dunes.

This is one of the five lakes in the Tengger Desert, and it is also the starting point for many desert tourism and desert off-roading.

From time to time, tourists camp here, or go off-road in the desert to feel the wild call of nature.

But today, a group of engineers wearing construction site helmets came.

They surrounded the corner of Sun Lake, pulled up the belt, and were busy with various engineering equipment.

Ma Tianzhuang was in the mask business before, and he has made a lot of money in the past two years, and he is no longer in the embarrassment of the past.

After the wealth is free, start to enjoy it.

He doesn't like to gamble, and he doesn't like young models, so he travels with a few old guys.

This time, they came to the Tengger Desert to experience the different style of the desert.

Not to mention, the towering sand dunes, the blue lake, the graceful curve of the desert, and the starry sky at night all made him feel the fun that he didn't have in the big city.

He was a little obsessed.

At this time, he came out of the Sun Lake camp and saw the scene from a distance, and felt curious in his heart. He saw a group of people gathered around, so he took the initiative to walk over.

In the crowd, he saw the local guide and asked curiously, "Zamu, what's the situation?"

The guide Ma Tianzhuang called Zamu looked back at Ma Tianzhuang, nodded his head as a signal, and then replied, "I heard that [Super Group] is going to develop the Tengger Desert. [Super Group] Do you know?"

"Of course I know! In Huaguo, it is very difficult to find someone who doesn't know [Super Group]." Ma Tianzhuang replied, looking into the distance again, wondering, "What does [Super Group] want to develop in the desert? Is it tourism resources? They also want to build a camp here? [Chaoqun Group] really doesn’t let go of any business!”

"That's not true!" Local guide Zhamu shook his head.

"Oh? Then what are they going to do? It won't be their old job, farming, right?" Ma Tianzhuang said jokingly.

"Really!" Zhamu looked at Ma Tianzhuang, and gave a surprising answer, "I also heard from my relatives in the government unit that [Chaoqun Group] plans to do a comprehensive project in the Tengger Desert. development project."
