He had an adventurer journey f.e.: to Urumqi, where he had arrived with train after 72 hours long travelling from Beijing. The desert missions were very taugh, he had to be well-prepared, to obtain the licences has been particularly slow and difficult. Unfortunately, he has to be faced with consequences of desertification like: lakes disappear in a decade or two.
The desert caravanserais contributed the basic life supports, such as food, access to water, accommodation. Against the desertification they often taken up the fight with Canadian hybrid poplar, which grab the desert dust and reduce the expansion of the desert. However, everything has a price, the pollen content of the air increases and the smog becomes more durable, which can shorten the life with 6-7 years, what the labor market is also anticipates.
