Developing the Northwest: I built a city in the Gobi Desert

"Okay, leader!"

The young man hastily pressed a button, and the large electronic screen flashed the area where Xu Hao's challenge was located.

"What's the situation? How did it change so much in just one night?"

After seeing the scene clearly, Liu Qing's pupils instantly enlarged a lot.

I saw that the wooden house, which was originally a frame, had already been put on the roof, and the four wooden walls of the wooden house were also installed, only one door and window were missing. The sandy slope behind the wooden house was already covered with grass squares.

That's not counting,

Two rain-shielding wooden sheds were also built over the stove and well in the fenced yard.

At first glance, the small courtyard seems to be more and more substantial, and it is no different from a normal farm courtyard.

If it is matched with a small road leading to the outside of Shaao, it will be a proper small courtyard.

"what is going on?"

Liu Qing couldn't help but look at the staff.

When he came over yesterday evening, Xu Hao's yard was still just a general framework, and it was not so complete at all.

"Manager Liu, this Xu Hao was busy last night until after two o'clock in the morning."

The staff glanced helplessly at the big screen.

Why didn't he want to let this Xu Hao lie down completely and quit the challenge early, but this Xu Hao is getting more and more energetic now. Compared with other challengers, it feels like he is not surviving at all but building his own paradise.

Even he had an idea of ​​wanting to experience it there.

What's even more exasperating is that now Xu Hao has no shortage of food and drink, and he doesn't see any possibility of quitting the game.

"Then what time did he wake up this morning?"

Rubbing the center of his eyebrows in distress, Liu Qing couldn't help asking again.

"Around half past seven!"

"Then what?"

"After waking up, he dug a hole on the sandy slope opposite the wooden house, and then brought a lot of thick Populus euphratica from the Populus euphratica forest and set them on fire."

"Burn poplar wood? What is he doing? To eat roasted jumping rabbits?"

"His remaining five jumping rabbits are stored in the pot and have not moved."

"Then why is he burning Populus euphratica in the pit? Is it because he doesn't have enough physical strength?"

"We don't know. He burned the Populus euphratica for a while and then filled the hole with sand again. Now he is digging a second hole."

The young man shook his head.

He really didn't know what Xu Hao was doing. Among so many challengers, Xu Hao's behavior was the weirdest.

"What? You buried the entrance of the cave? Turn the camera to Xu Hao, let me see."

Liu Qing's face suddenly became more dignified.

"Leader, look!"

The young man hurriedly picked up a handle to control the camera. Soon, Xu Hao's figure busy in front of the cave appeared on the big screen. In order to be able to see clearly, the young man specially selected the resolution.

"Not good! This kid wants to burn charcoal! It's broken. It's bad! This is a bad thing!"

Staring at the screen in silence for a moment, Liu Qing suddenly thought of something and his face became extremely ugly in an instant.

"Burning charcoal?"

The staff at the scene were all stunned.

They usually eat charcoal for barbecue, but they have never paid attention to how the charcoal comes from, and sometimes even wonder if it is made of cinders.

Is that how it burned?

"That's right, it's burning charcoal! No, I have to report the situation to Mr. Yang."

After finishing speaking, Liu Qing couldn't care about anything else, and immediately turned around and walked quickly to the president's office.

Two minutes later, Liu Qing stood in front of Yang Yuan's desk.

"President Yang, it's not good!"

"What's the matter? In a panic."

Yang Yuan raised his head and glanced at Liu Qing.

"Mr. Yang, that Xu Hao is burning charcoal right now."

Liu Qing was in a hurry.

He once assured Yang Yuan that this group of challengers would definitely withdraw from the challenge after the continuous rain, but it would be hard to say if there was charcoal.

Charcoal is far more durable than dry firewood, and it can last for ten days casually.

"Burning charcoal? Can he? Besides those professional companies, how many young people can burn charcoal now?"

Yang Yuan put down the signature pen in his hand.

"Who knows! But he will! And his wooden house is 90% complete! The wooden boards on the roof are tightly seamed and covered with tarpaulins, even if it rains heavily.

He even filled the sandy slope behind the wooden house with grass squares, and the drainage of the ditch is not a problem. "

Liu Qing was really speechless.

I thought that if I could deal with those survival challenge masters abroad, I would be able to solve some problems, but it happened that something went wrong with an unknown person.

"Then what about his food?"

Gradually, Yang Yuan was no longer as calm as before.

Since the negotiation with Qi Haoyong yesterday, Tianchen Culture has sent a commissioner to follow Qi Haoyong to Ning'an County. After ten days, the preheating will begin.

How can it be acceptable to suddenly tell him that after the election, he can persist until after the continuous rain?

"He still has five big jumping rabbits, and it won't be a problem to persist for seven or eight days."

Liu Qing hurriedly said again.

"Persistence for seven or eight days? That's okay! It's going to be rainy for ten days, and there's no chance of getting food during the ten days of rain. Without food, we can't survive just by protecting ourselves from the rain and freezing."

Yang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Surviving in the desert for a hundred days is not just talk, the right time, place and people are indispensable and there are many external factors, especially food.

"But according to the weather forecast, we will start going down the day after tomorrow. What if this kid gets some food tomorrow?"

Liu Qing was still a little worried.

"Tomorrow? It shouldn't be possible! Didn't you say that he got a few jumping rabbits all because of luck? Luck can't always favor one person."

Yang Yuan is no longer as anxious as before,

"Besides, haven't you already used drones to drive, search and drive away? There are no large animals outside the challenge area."

"But this kid's luck is really."

"Okay, just wait and see. By the way, how about the other contestants?"

"The other contestants and the one we thought about will probably be able to return one at noon today."

"That's good!"

"Mr. Yang, then go and stare at Xu Hao now."

"Um!"

Time flies, and it is noon in a blink of an eye,

Xu Hao let out a long sigh of relief looking at the second sealed earth cave.

yes,

When the fans in the live broadcast room reminded him that it was going to rain continuously last night, he thought of charcoal. Burning charcoal is one of the most basic skills in the restoration of ancient buildings on earth.

After all, there are a lot of building materials and wood piles that need to be burnt first and then painted before they can be used.

"The charcoal should be ready tomorrow! Just in time."

After patting the sand on his body, Xu Hao turned and walked towards the earthen pot stove.

People are iron rice is steel!

I've been busy all morning and haven't eaten yet. There are still some leftovers from the jumping rabbit that I cooked yesterday.

"But it's not a solution to eat jumping rabbit meat all the time. Wait until the doors and windows are installed in the afternoon to see if we can get some fiber supplements."

Soliloquy,

Xu Hao glanced at the deserted grass beach in the distance.

There is a desolation there, and the remaining Haloxylon trees are half dead. It is almost impossible to find edible fiber there, and maybe you have to go out of this sandy depression to try your luck outside.
