Regarding the question raised by Qi Guangkun, Wu Hao also wanted to allow these drought-tolerant plants to be planted on a large scale as soon as possible, but he could not pass the ecological environment assessment and obtain a permit, so he could not proceed.
This is not because of the embarrassment of the environmental protection department, but because if this gene-edited drought-tolerant plant is not stable enough, it will bring about a series of ecological disasters and even endanger humanity, with disastrous consequences.
That’s why the relevant assessments are so strict. This is not only responsible for the ecological environment and the people, but also for them.
In fact, as Qi Guangkun mentioned before, this year Yang Fang and the others tried to plant some drought-tolerant plants on a small scale near the base. The performance of these drought-tolerant plants was very good, especially their strong life energy and their ability to withstand drought.
, resistant to barrenness and salt-alkali, and has a fast growth rate and lush growth, and can form a secondary forest land in a short period of time.
However, these drought-tolerant plants have not yet passed the ecological environment assessment, so they were all eradicated in the autumn. Although it is a pity, a wealth of data has been accumulated for them, which is beneficial to subsequent assessments and continued research.
After listening to Qi Guangkun's words, Wu Hao glanced at him and said with a smile: "Be patient, nothing can be done at once, take your time.
If everything goes well, the relevant review and evaluation work will be completed next year, and it won’t be too late to start a big one after the approval is obtained.”
Speaking of this, Wu Hao looked at Qi Guangkun and said: "I just came back from the Yatuhai landing site today. The infrastructure there is pretty good, but why hasn't the road to Yatuhai been built for so long?
good."
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Qi Guangkun couldn't help but explain with a grimace: "That's right, the main reason is that the road leading to Yatuhai landing site has higher grade requirements and higher construction difficulty. In addition, it also has to pass through a protected area.
So the approval has not come through. In addition, there are a lot of messy problems, which is why this road has not been built for a long time."
Where is the main card? Wu Hao asked after hearing this.
Qi Guangkun showed a helpless look and said: "As far as the ecological environment department is concerned, although this road only passes through the edge buffer zone of the nature reserve, it is difficult to get approval. Relevant departments need to organize animal protection and environmental protection.
Experts will conduct an inspection and evaluation, and then decide whether to pass or not based on the results.
You also know that these people are too slow in their work. Although we have urged them several times, there is still no movement. Now the country and society are paying more and more attention to environmental protection, and even adopt one-size-fits-all policies, any harm to the environment
Ecological projects will be frozen and cancelled. So we don’t dare to act without authorization and can only continue to apply and urge them.
But we don’t know exactly when the evaluation and approval will be passed.”
Regarding what Qi Guangkun said, Wu Hao was also quite helpless. The assessment and review of environmental protection in China is relatively loose and fast. In foreign countries, building such a kilometer may take more than ten years of discussion.
So after thinking about it, he could only say: "Hurry up and hurry up. In the future, this landing site will assume the main landing task of our inland launches and must be completed and put into use as soon as possible.
In addition, the landing site we are using now is too small and has a relatively large population around it, so in the future, major land landing missions will be carried out at the Yatuhai landing site.
Although Haoyu Aerospace is responsible for the landing site system, it is still under the jurisdiction of the Northwest R&D Center. You should also pay more attention here to ensure the normal operation there."
Hearing what Wu Hao said, Qi Guangkun responded repeatedly: "Don't worry, we have been urging, and as soon as we have results, we will start construction immediately and strive to open to traffic in the shortest time.
As for the Yatuhai landing site, since its construction was completed, it has been included in the Northwest Research Base system and is under unified jurisdiction. Therefore, the relevant logistics support work has been carried out in an orderly manner, and there will be no problems. "
Seeing Qi Guangkun's response so neatly, Wu Hao also nodded slightly, then looked at the snowflakes in the sky and said: "The auspicious snow heralds a good year. It seems that the coming year will be another good harvest year."
Hearing what Wu Hao said, Qi Guangkun also smiled and said: "There is such a saying, but in this desert it is exactly the opposite."
Oh, why do you say that? After hearing Qi Guangkun's words, Wu Hao couldn't help but asked curiously.
It's like this, Qi Guangkun explained with a smile: "In the hinterland next to a desert like this, there is no human settlement, and there is basically no agriculture, so even if it snows, it is of little use.
On the contrary, because there is sparse vegetation in desert areas, many animals live in this area, such as wild camels, wild gazelles, rabbits, foxes, wolves and other animals. If the snow is too thick, the sparse vegetation will be covered
.This makes it more difficult for these animals to find food. Therefore, if there is too much and thick snow every winter, it will easily cause the death of a large number of animals and even livestock.
Therefore, for many animals living here, as well as some herdsmen, they hope that the snow in winter will not fall too much.
In addition, blizzards are prone to occur in the Gobi desert, as well as what the common people call white snow. Once such weather occurs, people and animals will be trapped in their homes and unable to come out.
Not to mention these animals living in the wild, they have no place to hide and can only survive alone. If you survive, you will survive. If you can't stand it, you will be frozen into popsicles. Next year, they will become some wild wolves, foxes, and bald men.
Food for eagles.”
There is also such a saying. Wu Hao laughed and said that he did not expect it to be like this. But thinking about it, it is true that when they were enjoying the snow scene, it was the time when these animals in the desert were in hardship and despair.
Qi Guangkun smiled, then pointed to the wetland in the distance and said to Wu Hao: "The scene is much better. Our woodland not only provides water sources for these animals living nearby, but also provides a temporary shelter.
In winter, when it snows for a long time and the snow is relatively thick, many animals will come from nearby and gather in this wetland to spend the winter. Last year, we only found a few animals in the wetland when it snowed for a few days.
There were dozens of wild camels, hundreds of wild yellow sheep, foxes, and groups of wolves.
For this reason, we will organize special security personnel to patrol on duty during those days, and tell everyone not to go there because they may be attacked by animals.
We had a female employee before who encountered a wild camel in the wetland. She was holding a banana to feed, but she was kicked by the wild camel and stayed in the hospital for six or seven days."
