The Taklamakan Desert, located between the Kunlun Mountains and the Changbai Mountains, covers an area of 330,000 square kilometers, it is a barren desert. Movable sand dunes make it uninhabitable.
If it can be transformed into an oasis, it's equivalent to gaining a new province.
What a monumental achievement that would be!
The third leader was naturally both expectant and excited.
"Yes, I can. In at most six months, I can transform the Taklamakan Desert into an oasis, with towering trees growing," Zhang Bin confidently said.
"Aren't you blowing your trumpet?"
The third leader found it a bit unbelievable. Too many experts around the world are researching how to prevent soil desertification and the issue of desert expansion. They've been studying for years.
Many have also proposed grand slogans for desert management.
Some new technologies have also emerged.
However, after so many years, the desert remains a desert, never having turned into an oasis.
