沙漠及其地下空间均是人类尚未开发的资源，人类面临的许多问题，如人口增长、耕地沙漠化、淡水缺乏、草原退化、生态环境恶化等都可以通过开发沙漠资源得到解决。在沙漠上建造太阳能温室就是开发沙漠的一项战略措施。这项农业工程的意义在于增加农业收成，地下储藏盐水淡水和改善环境。这样可以逐渐将沙漠土地化、贫地肥沃化。还可以提供原材料加工发展轻工业，解决就业问题。因此应该集中大量的人力物力向沙漠进军。 Deserts and their underground space are all untapped resources for human beings. Many problems facing human beings, such as population growth, desertification of cultivated land, lack of fresh water, degradation of grasslands and deterioration of the ecological environment, can all be solved through the development of desert resources. Building a solar greenhouse in the desert is a strategic measure to develop the desert. The significance of this agricultural project lies in increasing agricultural yields, underground storage of salt water and improving the environment. This will gradually desertification of the land, fertile land. It can also provide raw material processing and development of light industry to solve the employment problem. Therefore, a large amount of manpower and material resources should be concentrated to march toward the desert.
