"Did you graze on the grasslands when you were kids?"
This is Li Ting, a post-90s desertification control engineer, who is out of the house
One of the most asked questions
Li Ting always responds with a smile
"Actually, we only have desert over there"
Kubuqi Desert
The seventh largest desert in China
Once known as the ungoverned "Sea of Death"
Li Ting, who grew up here
After graduating from university, he chose to return to his hometown
Resolutely devoted himself to the cause of desertification control
He led the team for ten years
We will continue to explore new models for desertification control
Efforts to restore the desert ecology
With practical actions to interpret the deep affection and responsibility for the hometown
From barren to desert oasis
A green miracle created by a sandpit step by step
Li Ting's father, Li Sidan
It is the older generation of sand control people in Kubuqi
Influenced by his father Li Sidan
Li Ting graduated from university in 2014
As a surveyor, he devoted himself to the control of desertification in Kubuqi
Surveying and mapping is the "vanguard" of desertification control projects
Li Ting clearly remembers the scene when he first entered the battlefield
"After walking all day, my clothes are stiff
The salt grains can fall off when you rub them with your hands."
Li Ting has been doing this for four years
He has completed the data collation of more than 2.4 million acres of sandy land
It provides strong data support for desertification control
"I thought mapping was an easy job
I don't think it's so bitter
Run 10 kilometers of sand every day
As the saying goes, 'I'd rather walk ten miles than a mile of sand.'"
At this point, my father's eyes were red, and his voice was choked
There was silence for a long time
After completing the surveying and mapping, Li Ting became the technical supervisor of desertification control
Lead the team to continuously develop new ways to play desert farming
They have created the "minimally invasive water vapor tree planting method"
Dig pits, water, plant seedlings, cover soil
The four processes are integrated into one
It only takes 10 seconds to plant a tree
The efficiency of tree planting has been greatly improved
They have also updated and upgraded the photovoltaic three-dimensional sand control model
On-board power generation, under-plate planting, inter-plate culture
The photovoltaic panels automatically adjust their angle as the sun moves
This maximizes power generation
Photovoltaic panels are lined up one after another
Like a blue "photovoltaic sea"
The wind and sand do not stop for a moment, and the innovation does not stop for a day
There is also an "international style" in Shawo
Now Li Ting and his team
More possibilities are being explored for the extension of diversified industries
Desert "Fighting Chicken"
It is a new and innovative way of desertification control in Kubuqi
These chickens are not only able to loosen the soil
Natural fertilizers are available
It can also prey on pests
It's a lot of work
In terms of photovoltaic desertification control
The team is also constantly engaged in innovative practices
They began experimenting with growing a variety of different types of plants
From the first grass seeds and salix
The four-winged quinoa that has been introduced until now
It's even more exciting in two to three years
They plan to graft Cistanche on these plants
Cistanche not only has medicinal properties
It can also bring new ways of utilization to the entire industrial chain
So as to achieve industrial diversification
and the full utilization of resources
The greenery in front of you is enough to be amazing
An even more spectacular scene came into view
That is the lake that grows in the desert - Seven Star Lake
It was once a scattered source of water in the desert
Thanks to the remarkable results of desertification control
Today, the area of wetlands continues to expand
It has become a longed-for check-in place for tourists
For decades, generations of sand control people
Firmly lock the "oasis" in the sand
Let the Kubuqi Desert be the world
The only desert that has been managed in its entirety so far
Kubuqi's successful practice
It is represented in more than 190 countries
Joint United Nations Declaration
It provides a "Chinese plan" for the world to combat desertification
The current group of young desertification control people
is enthusiastically bringing new technology
Applied to desertification control practices
They use the smart way
Promote the progress of desertification control work in a scientific and efficient manner
They have a deep passion for technology
with an unwavering dedication to green
It will surely lead the desert into an oasis
Inject more vitality and vitality into the earth
