And if the technical verification in Mauritania is successful, it will definitely be introduced back to the country. There are not many other places in my big planting flower area, but there are quite a lot of foodies...
Uld was a little confused by Zhao An's request. He also knew the situation in the Sahara region very well. He didn't agree immediately, but asked with a hint of doubt: "This Mr. Zhao, I don't quite understand what you mean,"
"The Sahara is a vast desert area. I really don't understand what you can use to develop it?"
Zhao An smiled slightly and said, "Farming, I know that many people in Mauritius are living in a very difficult situation, and some of them can't even provide basic food and clothing. You know, Mr. President, that I am a very kind person. ,
I hope that food can be grown in the desert to help the people of Mauritania, so that they can basically have enough food. "
These words sounded outrageous to Uld's ears, he thought that Zhao An was prevaricating with lies, maybe Zhao An had another purpose.
Having said that, it really feels like a fantasy, so that Zhao An's truth sounds like bragging, but as long as he pays, what can Uld say.
"Okay, Mr. Zhao, I agree with your application to develop the entire Sahara area. What are you willing to pay for it?"
The problems that can be solved with money are not problems. Zhao An was overjoyed and said unhurriedly: "I am willing to pay [-] million U.S. dollars to your government every year to seek the full development rights of the Sahara region.
And I hope that the term of this agreement is 20 years, if one of the two parties breaks the contract, they need to pay 10 times the liquidated damages..."
Uld thought for a while, and felt that the problem was not a big one. A desert that was of little value to him could be exchanged for [-] million U.S. dollars and [-] million a year in funds, which would be very helpful for him to stabilize the Mauritanian regime.
Then the two discussed some matters about the development, such as payment methods, development time and other details.
In the end, the two signed an agreement, and Zhao An's first payment was directly transferred to the account designated by Uld.
So far, Zhao An has all the right to develop the Sahara region in Mauritania. As long as Zhao An doesn't build an atomic bomb there, Uld basically can't control him.
Of course, it also stipulates that Zhao An can only be used for planting purposes, and additional payment will be required if mining is opened.
After finalizing some things, Zhao An happily led Zhao Haidong out of Uld's presidential palace.
On the way back to the hotel, Zhao Haidong still looked puzzled. He still couldn't figure out that Zhao An wanted to grow food in the desert.
But Zhao An couldn't explain that much to him, instead he explained to him: "The next task for you is to buy some grain seeds, whether it's rice, wheat, corn, etc., buy some."
Zhao Haidong opened his mouth wide: "Mr. Zhao, do we really want to grow food in the Sahara region? I thought you discovered another high-value mine..."
Zhao An chuckled and said, "This time, it's really about planting food. You don't have to worry about anything else, just do what I ask you to do. You can plan for yourself. How many seeds do you need for the entire Sahara region in Mauritania? By the way Plan what to plant in those places."
Zhao Haidong was silent for a while, and then said: "Is there still some purchase of agricultural machinery and the like..."
Zhao An thought for a while, nodded and said: "This is really needed, you can order it according to your needs.
Order from home, buy in batches, and give me the report... I'll pay for it. "
Zhao Haidong had no choice but to comply with Zhao An's insistence.
Anyway, his boss with the same surname really has a lot of money to burn, and he is still his employee.
第二天赵安再次来到阿尔法号飞船上，在中控源"发；自;小.说,群:9;8、0!2，05?8'5：6！！室找到萨科。
"From now on, we can open up the passage to the outside world, and send nano-robots to carry out a full range of humus transformation in the sandy zone of the Sahara region."
Zhao An said.
Sacco smiled slightly and said, "As you wish..."
Zhao An made up his mind. Without energy, it might cause social turmoil, but without food, it would definitely cause social turmoil. This is just a word difference.
If you have food in your hands, you don't panic.
Chapter 709 Fogg Mora
"By the way, Mr. Sacco, what is the name of this super powerful microorganism?"
Looking at the various types of robots on the Alpha spaceship busy with their real eyes, Zhao An asked curiously.
The corner of Sacco's mouth moved slightly: "Foguemora, this word means miracle in Burns language. Its tenacious vitality and miraculous creation ability are indeed worthy of the name miracle."
Zhao An asked again: "If, I mean, if I bring this microorganism back to China for research, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
This kind of awesome thing has such a good effect, if you take it back and study it carefully, and develop more functions of it, why not do it.
Sacco said indifferently: "There is nothing worth noting about this... Microorganisms such as Fogomora mainly rely on fusion energy to reproduce. As long as the energy is sufficient, it can reproduce infinitely, and it will instinctively Improve the soil."
"The Burns people have been developing for hundreds of years, but they haven't found any bad things about this microorganism... It is like a hard-working worker, diligently doing its job, from birth to die."
"The only caveat is that the microbes need a magnetic field environment of a specific frequency, otherwise they will lose their vitality."
Saying that, Sacco explained again: "This magnetic field frequency can actually be simulated by nanorobots, so the two of them are the best partners."
Zhao Anxin said: Isn't this better? Otherwise, just come to someone, dig some soil and leave, and you can take away such a magical thing, and then take it to the laboratory for research, and make a wedding dress for others for nothing... ....
The nanobots, on the other hand, are all under Sacco's supervision.
There are many types of robots on the Alpha spaceship. Some of these robots are responsible for mining, and some are responsible for refining ore. There are also heavy industry cabins in the spaceship for refining ore.
These cabins can not only produce robots, but also produce some other products, which can meet the needs of spaceships in interstellar colonization.
While listening to Sacco's introduction, Zhao An watched the army of robots gradually open up the outward passage obliquely upwards in an orderly manner, and another robot moved out a piece of equipment and began to dig wells downward, giving the deep basement underground in the Sahara desert Pumped up.
These robots perform their own duties and cooperate with each other to do things in an orderly manner.
Zhao An said: "Mr. Sacco, except for nano-robots and microorganisms like Foggmora, these huge robots should not be placed on the ground for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Can the underground minerals in this area meet the consumption of the spacecraft?"
Sacco said: "If you just simply build an underground base, it's actually not a big problem, but if you want to build some advanced bases like the Burns, I think it's better to go back to the bottom of the sea."
As far as mineral resources are concerned, the proven seabed resources have greatly exceeded those on land, so what Sacco said is also reasonable.
Zhao An said with a smile: "I'm already very satisfied with this. For now, let's expand this underground space according to the plan. There is enough iron ore here, so let's use it first."
Zhao An has no intention of dominating the world, nor does he have the idea of interstellar exploration. The world's richest man, Musk, fantasizes about conquering the solar system, but for Zhao An, he only wants to live a peaceful life for himself.
He took a bullet box from his six-compartment backpack, which was one of the weapons and supplies brought in from the US military base in Guam, poured out the bullets in it, and then asked Sacco to command some nano-robots to put the 'Fogg Demon' Pull 'microorganisms into the arch.
Filling up a large box, and letting the nano-robots destroy the logo on the outside of the bullet box, Zhao An nodded in satisfaction, and collected a part of the nano-robots into the six-compartment backpack again, said hello to Sacco, and teleported back to the hotel.
An hour later, Zhao An boarded the Zhiyuan, ready to return to Jiangcheng.
During the 17-hour flight, Zhao An basically fell asleep and changed planes in Dubai. However, Zhao An didn’t plan to stop by the store in Dubai to check it out. If he wanted to see it, he just put his eyes on it. It’s not a very important thing, so there’s no need to personally to inspect.
Walking out of Tianhe Airport, Zhao An got into the car driven by Wang Bing.
Wang Bing started the car silently, but he was curious about the bullet box that Zhao An put next to him in the back seat.
"Is the people in the Xiong'an regiment still doing well these days?"
Zhao An asked lightly.
The Xiongan Regiment soldiers who came back from the change of defense this time met with their family members under Zhao An's thoughtful arrangement. Zhao An booked several hotels near the smelting plant to house the families of the soldiers who came to visit relatives.
Wang Bing replied: "No big problem. The soldiers are all thinking of you and saying that they will work hard for you..."
Zhao An laughed and said, "Think of me, hehe, their task will not be so easy next time, you can tell me a little bit later, some people will be arranged by me to go to Africa, the most arid and hot Sahara Desert, See how they react."
The harsh environment can give them a good experience, and Zhao An's next focus is the new Alpha base in Mauritania. Of course, soldiers must be stationed there.
You can't let robots who don't have emotions and don't know how to think do everything.
Wang Bing nodded and said nothing.
Back at the company, Zhao An walked into his office and saw Hu Zhiyan cleaning.
The cute little secretary is patiently cleaning the floor with a mop. Even though Zhao An is not around, she is still diligently cleaning.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao! Uh...do you want tea or coffee, Mr. Zhao?"
Seeing that it was Zhao An, Hu Zhiyan quickly straightened up and said hello. Seeing Zhao An nodded slightly and sat on the boss chair, he asked the next question.
Zhao An said softly, "Make a cup of tea, and call Mr. Xu over."
"Okay, Mr. Zhao!"
After a while, a cup of steaming tea was placed in front of Zhao An, and Hu Zhiyan whispered: "President Xu replied that he will come right away!"
Sure enough, in less than 3 minutes, Xu Wenqian hurriedly stepped into Zhao An's office, looking very energetic in a small suit with stockings and long legs.
"Mr. Zhao, are you looking for me?"
Zhao An looked at his chief executive and said, "Recently, Mr. Zhao Haidong from Africa will apply for a batch of agricultural machinery funds. You can approve it when the time comes, and follow up the progress of these machinery transportation by the way."
"Agricultural machinery?"
This sudden term made Xu Wenqian a little at a loss. Our company is engaged in gem mining. When did it get involved with agriculture?
This doubt flashed in Xu Wenqian's mind, but she finally nodded in response: "Okay, I will pay attention."
According to Zhao An's instructions, the first batch of machines ordered belonged to the category of plowing and sowing, and other equipment such as harvesting would be ordered in order after seeing the effect.
After exchanging some company work matters, Zhao An packed up his things and went straight to the Jiangcheng Military Division.
Seeing Fang Diwei, Zhao An made it clear that he wanted to test the effect of these microorganisms in desert areas in China.
Fang Diwei said with a rare bitter face: "I just came back from the northwest, and you are going to drag me there again? Can you bear it?"
Chapter 710
Seeing Fang Diwei shaking his head, Zhao An patted the bullet box he brought.
The six-compartment backpack cannot store living organisms. Zhao An always carried this box containing the Foggmora microorganisms with him.
"This is a good thing, a good thing that can change the world pattern, and the second brother doesn't want to know what it is?"
Fang Diwei looked at the box in Zhao An's hand. In fact, when Zhao An entered the door, he could see that it was originally loaded with bullets, but he didn't know whether it was 5.56 or 7.62.
Lao Fang looked at Zhao An suspiciously, and then said jokingly: "This is not like your style, you kid never hides things, why did you play tricks this time?"
Seeing Zhao An still smiling and not saying a word, Fang Diwei said sternly: "Quickly stop the ink, what kind of good thing is it that I feel is worthy of being escorted to the northwest by me?"
Zhao An said with a chuckle: "This is a very strong microorganism. Simply put, it can change the soil environment of the sandy land by eating sand, turning the sandy soil into a humus soil that can be planted.
And it has a strong fecundity, as long as it has enough energy, it can reproduce quickly. "
Fang Diwei was stunned: "So strong?"
Zhao An: "That's still fake, and whether it's fake or not, won't the second brother verify it as I said?"
Fang Diwei pondered: "If it really has such a strong effect as you said, wouldn't all the vast desert areas in our country be turned into oases? How much more cultivated land will be needed..."
As he spoke, Lao Fang raised his head, as if he was silently calculating how much cultivated land he could increase, or imagining some other uses.
Zhao An laughed and said: "Of course, with this thing, it is no longer a delusion to plug Jiangnan."
"How to use... Is there an instruction manual?" Fang Diwei asked another practical question.
Zhao An shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific purpose, I only know that it works with the cooperation of nano-robots, which can help it move quickly,
It seems to move a bit slowly, but it moves faster with the help of nanobots, and it uses fusion energy, so that's why I sent you to the Northwest. "
Fang Diwei didn't ask why you didn't go, Zhao An was able to bring the things back, which is already a great credit, and he himself is not engaged in the scientific research industry, so there is no great use for going there.
It seems that people should study this thing carefully, maybe it can really change the world pattern.
Throughout the history of China, how many times have the dynasties changed, not because of the direct cause of the food crisis?From the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty to the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, didn't they all rebel because the common people could not afford to eat?
And the more arable land, the more edible food will be harvested--Fang Diwei still understands the reason why there is no stability without food.
"Okay then, let me get in touch and invite domestic experts in microbiology... to study the specific purpose and usage of this thing together."
Fang Diwei said sincerely: "You have a heart, Zhao An."
Zhao An patted the box on the ground, and said nonchalantly: "I have already started a large-scale trial of this thing in the Sahara Desert in Mauritania, but I was in a hurry and didn't ask how to use it... ...."
Fang Diwei: "It doesn't matter. I think our domestic scholars and scientific researchers can figure out the purpose of this thing, and what they have mastered is always better than what others have given them."
"By the way, you said you were conducting an experiment in the Sahara Desert?"
"Are you also planning to play a hand in the grain situation?"
Zhao An raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "Why, can't it?"
Lao Fang smiled and said: "I didn't say it's impossible, the situation this year is that even laymen can understand that the overall reduction of grain production is inevitable.
If this Fogomora microbe really has such a strong effect as you said, then we will give him a good hand, and come out with a variety of grains to completely smash the plot of the Laomei grain strategy! "
Zhao An said with a chuckle: "That's what I thought. In Mauritania, although there is a shortage of water, there is no shortage of groundwater, and the temperature is especially suitable for plant growth.
Maybe it is possible to have two acquaintances and three acquaintances a year. I will discuss this when I go back. "
Although growing food is indeed not as good as digging gems to make money, but at this stage, Zhao An is still willing to do something that makes Lao Mei unhappy.
What's more, growing food in Africa will not affect his company's business, so why not do it...
