Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Nasser Aziz left Yunlan City, and Zhao Mancang didn't take it seriously.

Only Lü Yangui sighed and lamented.

After all, so much money just vanished in an instant.

After this matter was over, Zhao Mancang arranged for people to go to the field and begin test-firing a new type of shell.

"Sir, are these shells guaranteed to make it rain?"

One of the leaders of the Black Cross forces looked at Zhao Mancang with shining eyes and asked.

In front of them were several vehicle-mounted artillery emplacements, and soldiers were already preparing to fire.

Zhao Mancang smiled:

"Of course, no problem. You need to have confidence in our product. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be good at selling this kind of product in the future."

Yunlan City now has a very high level of greenery.

Not to mention the previous Great Wall of Forest, after Zhao Mancang renamed Yunlan City in 1977, he devoted himself to greening the desert across nearly 420,000 square kilometers of land within the city.

It was a complete overhaul, turning Yunlan City into an oasis overnight.

At that time, Yunlan City only had a land area of ​​slightly over 600,000 square kilometers.

Zhao Mancang transformed 420,000 square kilometers of land from desert and Gobi into an oasis in an instant.

It truly resembles a miracle!

In recent years, Yunlan City has expanded its area by another 400,000 square kilometers.

The desert greening project is already 69% complete, which is quite impressive.

The weather changes drastically throughout Yunlan City.

However, the rainfall did not increase much.

For example, last year there were still nearly 280 sunny days.

You know, there are only 365 days in a year, but more than 280 of them were sunny and clear.

The sunshine duration is indeed astonishing, which is truly wonderful for photovoltaic power generation.

However, the low rainfall means that more groundwater needs to be used to irrigate the plants on the ground.

Water levels in reservoirs and other places will also decrease.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang began to look for ways to increase the freshwater resources within Yunlan City in the second half of last year.

Increasing rainfall is one of the methods.

The factory has now been built, and a decent rain-inducing projectile has been developed.

So I'm going to take it out and give it a try today.

Boom!

With several loud bangs, five shells were fired simultaneously.

The clouds in the distant sky were quickly hit by five shells.

After the shell exploded, the clouds expanded rapidly in a very short time.

And many other sports activities also quickly 'drifted' over from the surrounding area.

Rainfall is about to begin.

"Continue launching, five missiles each in this direction and this direction, then check the situation."

Seeing the change in the sky, Zhao Mancang was overjoyed and immediately gave instructions.

To be honest, he's not a very good commander, but that doesn't matter, he's not short of money.

Just keep throwing money into the sky.

Soon, as more rain-inducing shells were fired into the sky, the clouds gathered even faster.

This even caused strong winds.

This created vortexes in the middle of the clouds, resembling a storm.

Like a tornado, it attracted all the surrounding clouds.

Tick-tock!
It's raining!
The soldiers of the Black Cross unit looked at the raindrops outside the vehicle, from a light drizzle to a heavy downpour, and then to a torrential downpour, and they all burst out laughing.

This is simply amazing!
At this rate, I'm afraid this heavy rain could last for more than half an hour.

However, the number of clouds in the sky is still increasing, and drones are flying all over the sky, collecting more information about the clouds.

The thickness of the clouds was quickly confirmed, and it seemed that a downpour of more than half an hour was imminent.

Zhao Mancang wasn't particularly happy, because he knew that the rain-inducing shells produced by the system would definitely not disappoint him.

For the next period of time, these kinds of shells were everywhere in Yunlan City.

In just one week, it rained almost every day in Yunlan City.

This situation was quickly reported in the news.

In the neighboring Saudi Empire, inside the royal palace, Nasser Aziz, upon hearing this, immediately became restless again.

There are many rain-making tools around the world, but there are very few rain-making methods suitable for the dry weather in the Middle East.

Nasser has purchased a lot of rain-inducing shells from Europe and the United States, and even spent a lot of money to invite European and American technicians to the Saudi Empire to help them increase rainfall.

However, the results were mediocre.

However, this time Yunlan City actually had a way to make the rainfall in their territory last for a week.

The reports are different every day; it's heavy rain throughout the entire territory, covering a very wide area.

This clearly shows that Yunlan City has indeed put a lot of effort into increasing rainfall this time.

The water levels in the reservoirs within Yunlan City have risen significantly.

These are not fake reports.

If it's fake news, then Nasser will quickly see through this little trick when he goes to the reservoir to see for himself.

Because Aziz had visited Yunlan City more than once, and he had been to many reservoirs.

Nasser Aziz was very clear about the condition of these reservoirs.

So he set off again, taking a plane directly to Yunlan City.

However, when he arrived in Yunlan City, he saw someone he didn't want to see in the municipal government office compound.

Officials from the Persian Empire and the Date Palm Empire came to Yunlan City to discuss the new desert greening project.

The two officials from the Persian Empire and the Date Palm Empire did not hesitate to agree to the increased price proposed by Lü Yangui.

Because there's nothing we can do if they don't agree; Yunlan City is the only place in the world that possesses this desert greening technology.

Without cooperating with Yunlan City, other countries and regions simply wouldn't be able to complete this task.

More importantly, desert greening in other countries and regions is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to many unexpected situations.

Nasser Aziz's expression changed drastically when he saw the people of the Persian Empire and the Date Palm Empire.

Lü Yangui just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

After seeing off the leaders of the Persian Empire and the Date Palm Empire, Lü Yangui met with Nasser Aziz the next day to discuss matters.

"Lu, may I go and see your reservoir?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Nasser Aziz immediately got straight to the point and asked.

"No problem. Which reservoir would you like to go to? I'll arrange for someone to go with you."

At this moment, Lü Yangui didn't want to accompany the other party any longer, because he still had a lot of work to finish. A short while later, Nasser Aziz, accompanied by staff, headed to several nearby reservoirs.

These reservoirs have indeed seen a significant rise in water levels, just as reported in the news.

Today the sky is clear and blue, so Nasser Aziz can see the situation at the reservoir very clearly.

"Hey, what are you guys doing over there?"

While seated in the helicopter, Nasser Aziz couldn't help but ask a question when he saw construction work underway below.

There is indeed construction going on in one of the areas below.

Moreover, the entire project seems to be quite large.

This place is a mountain basin. Zhao Mancang plans to excavate it, repair the surrounding area, and build a reservoir around it.

There are not many reservoirs within the territory of Yunlan City.

Many reservoirs dry up in less than six months.

In many places, fishponds will dry up within a month if there is no fresh water source.

That's the big problem.

Therefore, increasing the area of ​​wetlands within the territory is the most important thing at present.

Within the entire Yunlan City area, the first priority is to increase the number of reservoirs and expand the wetlands.

Secondly, rain-inducing shells will be used to increase the rainfall within the territory of Yunlan City.

Using artificial means to regulate rainfall, employing the Dragon King's methods.

Only by taking multiple measures can the situation within Yunlan City be improved.

As for damaging the ecological environment within Yunlan City?
Hehe, Yunlan City was originally a ruin, what's the point of destroying it?

The local flora and fauna ecosystem was already in a precarious state, so there's not much more to say.

Now, less than ten years after the transformation of Yunlan City, the situation within the city has already changed dramatically.

It is estimated that in a few years, the entire Yunlan City will become a true 'garden city'.

"Is this a reservoir being built?"

Nasser Aziz frowned upon hearing this:
"In a place like yours, if you build a reservoir, won't the water seep through the ground? And it will easily evaporate under direct sunlight."

The reservoir is large, that much is certain, but even if the reservoir has a large water capacity, it evaporates quickly, and groundwater will seep in.

So what exactly is the purpose of doing this?

The staff member did not answer because he felt uncomfortable answering the question.

It was enough that he could tell His Highness the Crown Prince of the Saudi Empire that a reservoir was indeed being built below.

Problems such as reservoir evaporation are beyond the scope of this discussion.

Two days later, after touring the city government compound, Nasser Aziz finally returned and met with Lü Yangui.

"Lu, I'd like to ask, why have you built so many new reservoirs recently?"

"The water in the reservoir evaporates very easily, and the land here was originally desert and Gobi, so water can easily seep away from the ground."

Why do you still do such a thankless and arduous task?

Two years ago, Nasser Aziz also visited the reservoir within the territory of Yunlan City, but he already couldn't understand it at that time.

Yunlan City is now adding more reservoirs, and this time the number exceeds one hundred.

Why?

Lü Yangui smiled and said:

"We are already working on this issue; rain-inducing shells are one of our methods."

Change the rainfall within Yunlan City, specifically the kind of rainfall that distinguishes the four seasons.

This is one of the strategies.

In addition, the desert greening process is also very fast, and it is believed that the desert greening area in the territory will reach the standard in a short time.

Once the target is met, then all that's left is to wait.

After all, those trees need time to grow into a forest.

Therefore, all of this actually takes time and can only be done slowly.

However, the addition of the reservoir, whether through evaporation or seepage, is not a bad thing for Yunlan City.

In short, building new reservoirs is indeed a thankless task in the early stages.

But in the long run, this deal is worthwhile.

Nasser Aziz frowned upon hearing this.

He had many doubts in his mind, and he knew that Lü Yangui in front of him must not have told him the truth about the significance of the reservoir.

It's completely unnecessary to spend such a huge amount of manpower and resources just to store water resources.

I don't understand!
However, Zhao Mancang didn't need the other party to understand all of this; the existence of the reservoir was of extraordinary significance to Yunlan City.

"Now let's talk about that desert afforestation project. Could you perhaps lower your price? After all, $108 billion is indeed too expensive."

The purpose of this trip is to reach an agreement on a desert greening project covering an area of ​​30,000 square kilometers.

So Nasser Aziz certainly won't give up, but the price is too high, and he has to find a way to lower it.

Just then, Lü Yangui's secretary came looking for him.

After whispering a few words in his ear, Lü Yangui's expression did not change, but Nasser Aziz still caught a hint of something amiss.

So what exactly happened?

Nasser Aziz couldn't bring himself to ask, and even if he did, Lü Yangui might not tell him the truth.

However, Nasser Aziz soon learned the result the next day.

Sam sent a representative to talk to Lü Yangui.

This is utterly ridiculous. Everyone knows that Sam has a terrible relationship with Yunlan City.

However, at this moment, Sam actually took the initiative to send a representative to talk to Yunlan City.
Moreover, the personnel dispatched were not ordinary people, but the third-in-command.

It’s incredible!

That evening, Nasser Aziz learned something that shocked and enraged him:
Sam is also trying to discuss the desert greening project with Yunlan City, as he wants to prevent Yunlan City from cooperating with the Saudi Empire.

Therefore, Sam is willing to establish a trade and economic partnership with Yunlan City.

why?
What business is it of the Saudi Empire's cooperation with Yunlan City on the desert greening project?
As the dominant power in the Middle East, the Saudi Empire possesses a vast territory of 2.2 million square kilometers, but more than 90% of it is desert.

Therefore, even though the Saudi Empire is the dominant power, it is not a cause for concern.

In Sam's view, the presence of Yunlan City in the Middle East today is enough to give him a headache.

If the Saudi Empire were to utilize half of its territory, that would be a very difficult situation.

The reason they didn't care about these things before was because Sam thought the Saudi Empire was stupid.

After all, spending hundreds of billions of dollars just to plant trees in the desert is ridiculous, isn't it?
However, after they sent people to investigate, they found that the greening projects that Yunlan City assisted the Saudi Empire in completing were actually quite impressive.

It has an extremely strong ability to prevent wind and sand erosion, and the trees grow very quickly, turning into a real forest in less than two years.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

Therefore, Sam must stop it, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Lu, you mustn't listen to them!" (End of Chapter)
