Chinese scientists turn deserts into fertile fields!
Ulan Buh Desert is one of the eight major deserts in China. In Mongolian, "Ulan Buh" means "red bull". Two thousand years ago, it was still fertile, but now it is a mobile desert where not a single blade of grass grows. In the spring of 2016, Yi led a scientific research team into the Ulan Buh desert. Only a few months later, an oasis the size of two football fields appeared in the vast yellow sand.
Amidst the lush greenery and the fragrance of melons and fruits, the rebellious red bull showed a tame attitude in front of humans for the first time. To the surprise of many people, it was a group of mechanics experts who had nothing to do with ecology, soil, sand control and other majors who created this miracle.
According to statistics, China's desertified area accounts for 18% of the entire land area. If this technology is used to transform 1% of China's desertified land, more than 17,300 square kilometers of usable land will be obtained. For Yi Zhijian, who controls sand, this is a dream and an opportunity. Hi. Welcome to Hot Topics Time. In today’s video, let's take a look at this technology that turns the desert green!
