"Let's go. Since Brian is here, do you want to see the results?" Zeng Gong put down the coffee cup in his hand and extended an invitation to Brian. Looking at the progress is actually one of his goals. Because of the Qinglian Ranch incident, he was often attacked by political opponents. Although the management of the upper reaches of the Yellowstone River is a headache, it is also a huge political cake. Everyone wants to Bite a piece, it's just that as the governor, the first to get the first moon. Zeng Gong took him to the study room first. The huge sand table occupied most of the study space. This was specially made by Zeng Gong after the expansion of Qinglian Ranch. Each piece of the model can be disassembled for sand table deduction, and Qing Lian can be intuitively seen. Big changes at Lotus Ranch. "Good guy, you must have put a lot of thought into it." Brian was immediately attracted to Zeng Gong's three-dimensional sand table model and couldn't help but said. "It cost about one million U.S. dollars, and all modules are scaled." Zeng Gong said proudly. Point out the country and start from the sand table. "Look here, the construction here has been completed." Zeng Gong pointed to the corner of the sand table and lightly drew it. Between the mountains and in the valleys, several rivers surged out, dividing a piece of thousands of acres of plains into pieces. They all converged into a lake, and then turned into a big river that meandered at the foot of the mountains and disappeared into silence. In the valley, the river flows beyond the sky and the earth, and the mountains are beautiful. Brian looked in the direction of Zeng Gong's finger. The river sometimes merged and merged, and finally flowed into the Yellowstone River. There were also lakes of different sizes in valleys or plains, some of which were natural, and some of which were planned or completed construction. Lakes are dotted here and there. "Brian, look here again." Zeng Gong pointed to the main stream of the Yellowstone River in the sand table and said. It turned out that Zeng Gong planned to dig countless lakes of various sizes around the Yellowstone River in Qinglian Ranch. Dozens or even hundreds of artificial rivers connected several tributaries to the Yellowstone River. There was even a section of the river that was widened by Zeng Gong's whimsical plan. A huge lake embedded in the mountains was formed by the mountains. Of course, it is recorded in some Indian classics. It is recorded that there was a crescent-shaped giant lake blocking the Yellowstone River dozens or hundreds of years ago. Later, due to development reasons, a dam was built around the Yellowstone River, and the exposed lake bottom is now developed into pasture. Now Zeng Gong is cleaning up the lake bed. After completion, he will blow up the dam and restore it to its previous appearance. "Zeng, you have destroyed 30,000 acres of land like this." Brian said in shock as he looked at the situation around Crescent Lake. Legend has it that every year the Yellowstone River surges due to the rainy season or snow-capped mountains melting, the Crescent Lake will overflow in the low-lying areas between the surrounding mountains, forming a new Crescent Lake on the plain not far away, with New Crescent Lake above and below. The moon, water and sky are the same color for thousands of miles, and the Crescent Lake on the plain is surrounded by fertile and oily land. Unfortunately, these are all history, but Zeng Gong is realizing it step by step. "It's all worth it, isn't it? Brian, you won't object to my plan." Zeng Gong looked at Brian questioningly, fearing that he would say no. Although Qinglian Ranch is already Zeng Gong¡¯s sacred land, due to some major considerations, the federal and state governments will also intervene to force the other party to give up. "Zeng, from the perspective of our state government, your tax revenue will not be reduced, the number of jobs will not be reduced, and it will also improve the surrounding ecological environment. We naturally welcome it, but you will reduce a lot of income. Is it worth it? ." Brian said with a smile. If Zeng Gong changed the pasture to look like the one on the sand table, he would naturally welcome it with both hands, and he would be relieved of a lot of pressure. He would even get the support of the minority Green Party. As for the slight decrease in taxes, it is acceptable, but it is really Is it the same as what Zeng Gong introduced? "Reducing income? Or reducing the utilization area? Brian, you should know that what we Chinese are best at is adapting to local conditions, and the most important thing is the unity of nature and man. Have you heard of polders, stacked fields and floating fields?" Zeng Gong said mysteriously . "Polder? Holland." Brian said uncertainly. Polder is not only the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation, but there is also a nation on the other side of the earth that continues to struggle with floods. The representative work is the famous Beimster Polder, which is of course widely spread in European and American countries. In fact, Huzhou¡¯s Polder Hong Kong Polder is actually larger in scale and has a longer history. As for floating fields, the more famous one comes from Inle Lake in Myanmar, while Duotian is the sea of ??flowers in Xinghua Duotian, which is unforgettable. ¡°Brian, look at what my pasture looks like?¡± Zeng Gong pointed at the huge sand table and said proudly. ? Overlooking the entire sand table, you can see the elegance of meandering water drinking wine, and the majesty and majesty of the mountains.There are many large and small lakes connected by clumps, which are as bright as the stars. It really is a vast world, with thousands of square kilometers of Qinglian Ranch in front of you. "Is this a polder?" Brian suddenly discovered that Zeng Gong divided the Qinglian Pasture with rivers. All the rivers between the rivers were connected to each other. Brian didn't even know whether Zeng Gong's crazy or genius idea was to fight against the Yellowstone River. The idea of ??ancient river channels is that it actually diverts the Yellowstone River, then converges at the point where the Boulder River joins the Yellowstone River, and then rejoins it. "What are you? Zeng, are your ideas a little crazy? As far as I know, the floods in the Chengdu Plain in China have not been cured." Brian was a little excited, and then suddenly questioned. "Yes, there is no cure, but our place is obviously different from the Chengdu Plain. Even the climate of our Qinglian Ranch has its own system. In addition, the precipitation in Montana is not as good as that of the Chengdu Plain. The main defense is upstream. In the case of snowmelt floods, it doesn't matter even if there is a sudden increase in precipitation upstream or a sudden increase in precipitation elsewhere. Our Qinglian Ranch is not just a surface water conservancy project, but an integrated upper and lower one. There are many facilities that cannot be shown on the sand table at all. You It¡¯s understandable to have such questions,¡± Zeng Gong said confidently. Zeng Gong is not fooling Brian. Just from the fact that he pointed out that Qinglian Ranch is imitating the Chengdu Plain, we can know that he has done a lot of work behind the scenes and came to Qinglian Ranch this time well prepared. Come, naturally Zeng Gong can't fool him anymore. "Up and down in one? What up and down in one?" Brian suddenly questioned. He also knows that Qinglian Ranch is not as simple as it seems. His think tank has also analyzed the aerial footage. If God had not directly flooded Qinglian Ranch, the floods in the upper reaches would have been basically eliminated, and even the whole basin would have been flooded. Under this circumstance, the water in the upper reaches will not help the evil. The entire Qinglian Ranch has the function of delaying the flood peak, diverting the flood, and even diluting the flood peak. However, his think tank does not have any information on what this upper and lower integration means. "Of course it's a trade secret." Zeng Gong shook his finger and remained silent.
