Chapter 32 Tengger Desert, Sun Lake, Engineering Team

2September 2021.

This month, the national natural disaster risk situation remains severe.

Drought and floods are common in the northern region. Regional heavy rains and floods occurred in the upper reaches of the Jialing River and Han River in the Yangtze River Basin, and the upper reaches of the Weihe and Huaihe Rivers in the Yellow River Basin, and some rivers exceeded warning levels.

However, the risk of drought in the northwest and other places still persists. Temperatures in most parts of the country are close to normal for the same period of the year to higher than normal. Precipitation in western South China, southern Southwest, southern Tibet, western Inner Mongolia, and Hexi of Gansu is 20-50% less. The impact of drought is becoming more serious, causing significant obstacles to agricultural production.

The risk of flood disasters is high in many places in the north and south. Regional heavy rainfall in some areas has triggered disaster risks such as floods in small and medium rivers, flash floods, and urban and rural waterlogging.

Strong convective weather will still occur frequently in various places in September, with local severe convective weather such as short-term heavy precipitation, thunderstorms and strong winds, and hail, causing secondary disasters such as flash floods, short-term waterlogging, landslides, and debris flows.

[Elephant Weather] plays a great role in weather forecasting, providing accurate meteorological reference for rescue and disaster relief in various places, as well as early prevention.

This month is also a month when [Chaoqun Group] cooperates with the country to vigorously develop seawater desalination projects.

Although [Chaoqun Group] voluntarily gave up its initiative and control in this cooperation, [Chaoqun Group] also attached great importance to this project.

Huang Yuping even personally flew to the northwest to inspect the [Chaoqun Group]’s [Salt Water Dewatering Project] in the Tengger Desert!

The Tengger Desert is located in the southwest of the Alxa Left Banner of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the central border of Gs Province, on the Great Wall of South Vietnam, reaching the Helan Mountains in the east and the Yabulai Mountains in the west.

It is 240 kilometers long from north to south and 160 kilometers wide from east to west, with a total area of ​​about 43,000 square kilometers. It is the fourth largest desert in China and is the eastern part of the Alxa Desert at the bottom of the Yin'e Basin.

Within the Tengger Desert, there are staggered distribution of sand dunes, lake basins, grasslands, mountains, residual hills and plains.

Sand dunes account for 71% of the area, and are mainly mobile sand dunes. Most of them are grid-shaped dune chains and crescent-shaped dune chains. The heights are mostly between 10 and 20 meters. There are 422 lake basins, half of which have standing water and are dry or dry. Retreating residual lake.

The accumulated water in the lake basin mainly comes from underground springs and temporary rainfall. In particular, Moon Lake in the desert is about 3 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide. It is the largest lake among all the lakes in the Tengger Desert. , the only original ecological lake with a coastline, and half of the lake water is fresh water and half is salt water.

The Tengger Desert receives only 100 to 200 millimeters of precipitation every year. It is impossible to rely on this precipitation to maintain the existence of so many lakes in the desert.

The reason why there are so many lakes in the desert is because of the replenishment of surrounding groundwater.

The Tengger Desert is actually surrounded by surrounding mountains.

The southernmost is the Qilian Mountains, which is the water tower in western my country. It has a tall mountain body, a glacier area of ​​more than 2,000 square kilometers, and a water storage capacity of 132 billion cubic meters, which is equivalent to the water storage capacity of five full Poyang Lakes or four Three Gorges reservoirs.

Uncle Dong in The Wrangler once told the male protagonist that the wind blowing down from the Qilian Mountains at night was chilling to the bones.

Surrounding the Qilian Mountains, there are dozens of oases of various sizes in my country. In particular, the Hexi Corridor has become an important livable place for mankind.

On the other side of the Tengger Desert is the Helan Mountains. Helan Mountain is more than 2,000 meters above sea level. Even for such a high mountain, there is still sufficient rainfall every year, making this mountain range covered with green.

These lakes in the Tengger Desert are at a low altitude and are the lowest points in the desert, while the surrounding terrain of the Tengger Desert is higher and facilitates the collection of groundwater.

From a topographic point of view, the Tengger Desert is somewhat similar to a basin in the topography, except that the surrounding mountains are not high, and are far less different in height than the Tarim Basin and Sichuan Basin. However, this topography is enough to gather groundwater and maintain the lakes in the desert. The presence.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………

Sun Lake is a relatively large saltwater lake located deep in the Tengger Desert.

Roads have been built here and there are complete facilities such as electricity, accommodation and water sources.

You can't see the edge of Sun Lake at a glance. Because of its large area, the salinity is relatively low. There are a lot of reeds growing in many places on both sides of the lake shore.

But looking further away, there is a continuous stretch of sand dunes.

This is one of the five lakes in the Tengger Desert that runs through it. It is also the starting point for many desert tours and desert cross-country.

From time to time, tourists camp here, or go on desert cross-country trips here to feel the wild call of nature.

But today, a group of engineers wearing construction helmets came.

They put up a fence around a corner of Sun Lake and were busy carrying various engineering equipment.

Ma Tianzhuang used to be in the mask business. He has made a lot of money in the past two years and no longer has the embarrassment he once had.

After you gain freedom from wealth, start enjoying it.

He doesn't like gambling and doesn't like young models, so he travels with a few old friends.

This time, they came to the Tengger Desert to experience the different customs of the desert.

Not to mention, the towering sand dunes, azure lakes, graceful desert curves, and the stars in the sky at night all made him feel the fun that he couldn't find in big cities.

He was a little obsessed.

At this time, he walked out of the Sun Lake Camp and saw this scene from a distance. He felt curious in his heart. He saw a group of people gathering together, so he took the initiative to walk over.

In the crowd, he saw the local guide and asked curiously, Zhamu, what's going on there?

The guide, whom Ma Tianzhuang called Zhemu, looked back at Ma Tianzhuang, nodded as if indicating, and then replied, I heard that [Chaoqun Group] is going to develop the Tengger Desert. [Chaoqun Group], do you know?

Of course I know! In China, it's difficult to find someone who doesn't know [Chaoqun Group]. Ma Tianzhuang replied, looking into the distance again, wondering, What does [Chaoqun Group] want to develop in the desert? Could it be that [Chaoqun Group] wants to develop something in the desert? Is it a tourist resource? They also want to build a camp here? [Chaoqun Group] really doesn’t miss any business!”

That's not true! Local guide Zhamu shook his head.

Oh? Then what are they going to do? They won't be doing their old job, farming, right? Ma Tianzhuang said jokingly.

It's true! Zhamu looked at Ma Tianzhuang and gave him a surprising answer, I also heard from my relatives in the government that [Chaoqun Group] plans to build a comprehensive project in the Tengger Desert. development projects.”
