The seeds of this drought-tolerant grass seed are very small, about the same size as a grain of sand, and very light, so they can easily be blown by the wind and carried to a long distance. Once they fall on the ground and contact the soil, they will grow as long as conditions permit.
They will immediately take root and sprout, and then quickly grow and multiply.
Even if the place where the seed falls cannot meet the needs for germination, the seed will self-dormant and sleep. When the conditions are met, it will wake up and germinate again.
Even in the extremely arid environment next to the desert, it can still lie dormant for a very long time. As long as there is a little water, it can germinate.
Speaking of this, Yang Fang couldn't help but sigh and said: "Originally, we just hoped to cultivate a drought-tolerant grass with strong vitality and adapt to the harsh environment of the Gobi Desert, so that it can be used to improve the harsh environment of the area next to the desert.
, I didn’t expect to accidentally cultivate a kind of super grass. Its vitality and reproductive ability are so powerful that we don’t dare to use it now.”
Hearing Yang Fang's words, Wu Hao and Zhang Jun couldn't help but nodded. Indeed, any technology that cannot be mastered is not a good technology. The standard for technology application is not because it is new, but because we have mastered it. This is like
Like weapons, the most important and basic things for all weapons and equipment are reliability and safety. Without these two points, no matter how advanced the weapons and equipment are, they will have no practical value.
How is the progress of the improvement work? Wu Hao asked immediately. In addition to its strong vitality and reproductive ability, this drought-resistant grass species has no other problems. It performs well in all aspects and is very suitable for growing in desert Gobi areas. If only because of this
It would be a pity to give up the disadvantages that were originally advantages.
Seeing Wu Hao's inquiry, Yang Fang immediately responded: "The improvement work on this drought-tolerant grass species is currently in progress. We first need to eliminate or castrate the strong reproductive ability of this drought-tolerant grass species, especially
The reproductive ability of seeds makes their seeds useless, so we don’t have to worry about its long-distance transmission.
The second step is to inhibit the reproductive ability of the root system and control it within a controllable range. While retaining its strong vitality, it is also necessary to avoid wanton propagation and reproduction due to too strong vitality, resulting in flooding and disaster.
The research on seeds is progressing well, but there are some difficulties on the root side, mainly because this balance point is difficult to master, so it takes time."
Speaking of this, Yang Fang hesitated for a moment, and then said to Wu Hao: "One thing, it seems that a military expert is very interested in the strong vitality and reproductive ability of our drought-tolerant plant, and has always hoped that
We could seek cooperation, but we didn’t agree.”
After speaking, Yang Fang glanced at Shen Ning.
Shen Ning understood, and then followed her words and said: "That's right, we have indeed received an invitation letter from the Academy of Military Sciences for relevant cooperation, but we have always had doubts about cooperation in this area. So I will send this
I told Sister Xiaolei about the matter, and Sister Xiaolei said she would come to contact us and asked us to wait for news. We don’t know what the situation is yet.”
Okay, I understand this matter. Wu Hao nodded and said nothing more, because he had heard Zhang Xiaolei's report before.
That is, the military is very interested in some plant varieties cultivated by the Plant Science Research Center of Haoyu Agriculture and has proposed cooperation.
Wu Hao didn't think much about this and immediately instructed Zhang Xiaolei to be responsible for communicating with the military. They agreed in principle and supported relevant cooperation projects.
Wu Hao actually knew why the military was interested in these newly cultivated plant varieties. He had been to the laboratory of the Plant Science Research Center and had naturally seen the extraordinary power of these cultivated new plant varieties.
As for this drought-tolerant super grass species, everyone thinks it can have any military value.
Although this is just a drought-tolerant grass species with strong reproductive capacity and vitality, it actually has huge military uses. First of all, of course, it is in military camouflage.
We know that there are a lot of military satellites above our heads. They scan every corner of the earth dozens or even hundreds or thousands of times every day, monitoring every move on the earth.
Therefore, this will also make our every move visible to the enemy. The impact of this mobile force and mobile unit is actually not very great, because it is moving all the time and can effectively avoid being detected by local satellites.
But for many fixed targets, such as fixed fortifications, air defense positions, command centers, communication centers, etc., especially our newly built military facilities, they are easily detected by enemy satellites overhead.
There is no way, as long as we have started construction, the vegetation layer will inevitably be destroyed, which is simply too obvious on the satellite map. So in many cases we will use hypothetical camouflage nets or release smoke to block enemy satellites when they pass by.
Avoid exposing your location to enemy satellite detection.
However, this is actually not very good at concealing and camouflaging. First of all, the infrared signal of the protective net is different from the vegetation signal. As for the smoke, it is a behavior of exposing one's position, reminding others to focus on this area.
If such grass seeds can grow quickly after being sown, the exposed soil of military fortifications can be quickly covered, thereby concealing and avoiding detection by enemy satellites.
This type of grass can even be used to create a real grass protective net, which can be directly installed on some equipment to camouflage the equipment for a long time to avoid being detected by the enemy.
This kind of grass has strong vitality and only needs regular spraying of water to grow and stay fresh. Compared with those camouflage nets, the grass can isolate infrared signals and be consistent with the surrounding environment, which can play a very important role in camouflaging these devices.
effect.
Finally, there is the power of this grass species. Because its reproductive ability and vitality are too strong, it has the characteristics of a weapon, a biological weapon.
When war requires, this grass seed can be sown in the enemy's territory through aircraft, missiles, or other means, causing large-scale grass disasters to break out in farmland, roads, and towns within its territory.
As a result, a large amount of farmland has been invaded and covered by these grasses, seriously squeezing the growing space and required nutrients for crops, and causing a large-scale reduction in the enemy's domestic crop production.
Food is the foundation that supports a country. Once there is a problem with food, various problems will arise within the country, which will greatly weaken the enemy's national strength and force the enemy to be unable to fight anymore.
