But the crops planted in previous years are really not guaranteed.”

"It's okay, it'll be fine in the future. We have no experience, and the country has no experience either." Shen Huanxi said with a smile.

After all, a large-scale greening project like the Three Norths Project is indeed unprecedented in human history. Humankind has no experience with it, so how could they do it perfectly from the beginning?

Director Zhou nodded with a smile, and once again praised Shen Huanxi for his intelligence.

Finally, Xiao San jumped to the outskirts of the city and stopped.

Shen Huanxi looked toward the outskirts of the city and saw large stretches of sand with a few sparsely growing trees. The distance between every two trees was very far, and it looked very desolate.

Director Zhou couldn't help but sigh.

"In this area, we organized the people of the commune to plant 3,000 trees, but in the end, only these survived, less than 60." Director Zhou's eyes became moist as he spoke.

Shen Huanxi was also somewhat moved.

Many Chinese people in the 21st century only know about smog, but not about sandstorms. They are even less aware of how much effort their predecessors put in to control sandstorms, and how much disappointment they experienced.

Just like this piece of sand, the participants of the Three Norths Project planted 3,000 trees with great hope, but in the end only more than 50 trees survived. How disappointed and heartbroken they were.

However, they fought and lost again and again, year after year, until finally, they built the Three North Regions into a green forest belt, completely keeping the Chinese people of the 21st century away from the dust storms.

Shen Huanxi looked at Director Zhou and his colleagues and felt that each of them was great. He also felt that what he was doing was a very sacred cause, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.

"Director Zhou, everything will be fine! If 50 out of 3,000 trees can survive, then if we plant 30,000 trees, won't 500 be able to survive? What's more, now we have opened up the saplings and seeds for payment, and the people will join in. We will succeed and turn the desert into an oasis!" Shen Huanxi said passionately.

Everyone was inspired by what she said.

"Yes! We will succeed!"

"Okay!" Director Zhou held back his tears with red eyes, "Let's go, let's go protect the trees from the cold! Let's get to work!"

"Good!" Everyone said in unison, full of fighting spirit.

Fifty trees may not be a big deal in the southern region, but in the three northern regions of this era, each one is as valuable as a mountain of gold and silver.

Shen Huanxi and his team carefully wrapped the tree trunks with straw, then covered them with plastic sheeting and tied them tightly to protect them from the cold.

"Happy." Shen Huanxi had wrapped the last tree when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

Turning around, I saw Xiao Shanhe.

He had difficulty moving on the sandy ground in the suburbs, so how did he get here?

"Why are you here?" Shen Huanxi asked.
