Chapter 2985 Super Haloxylon ammodendron Thousand-acre Experimental Field
For example, continuous data monitoring of these forest areas, prevention of pests and diseases, regular specimen collection, etc. can be left to them. These people will do a very good job, and they do not need wages or bonuses.
Of course, Wu Hao also said in his words that those who voluntarily stay and can concentrate on research will certainly not be welcome if they stay with other purposes.
As for giving subsidies, after all, you are doing something for them, and it is worthwhile to give them an appropriate amount, and it cannot be in vain.
Mr. Wu, this is Professor Huang Shiwei from Northwest Agriculture and Forestry. He is mainly engaged in the breeding and improvement of new plant varieties. He is an old friend of ours. He has been here with his students in the past few years and has helped us a lot. Shen Ning pointed to a tall and thin old man in front of him and introduced.
Haha, Professor Huang, I know that I have really troubled you in the past few years. On behalf of Haoyu Technology, I would like to express my gratitude to you and the classmates. Wu Hao held Huang Shiwei's hand and said kindly.
As Shen Ning said, Professor Huang Shiwei has been here with his students in the past few years, participated in several projects, and played a huge role. It can be said that this is one of their own.
Hahaha, we should be the ones thanking you. Thank you for providing us with such a good scientific research environment, so that we can engage in related scientific research with peace of mind and achieve so many fruitful results. Huang Shiwei is full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm. smiled.
What he said is also true. In recent years, thanks to the cooperation between Wu Hao and the others, he has published many blockbuster papers, which have a huge impact on his subject field, and his influence in this field is growing day by day. If nothing else, it is In recent years, the number of students taking the postgraduate entrance exams has doubled.
Seeing such cordial exchanges between Huang Shiwei and Wu Hao really made Professor Zhang Chengwang and his students envious. Perhaps it was because of Professor Huang Shiwei's achievements in the past few years that he gave up the excellent environment in the capital. Then I chose to follow Deputy Director Cheng to the Gobi desert in the northwest to drink the pure northwest wind and eat sand.
After quickly greeting the remaining people and exchanging pleasantries, Wu Hao immediately returned to Deputy Director Cheng, Zhang Chengwang and Huang Shiwei.
Deputy Director Cheng, are we not disturbing your work? Wu Hao asked with a smile.
Deputy Director Cheng smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Wu Hao and Zhang Jun and said with a smile: "No, no, there is no shortage of time. This so-called invitation is not as good as a chance encounter. We happened to meet today. Let's have a good chat. I heard you You are highly accomplished in plant biotechnology, and we happen to have many questions to ask you here."
No, you deserve the award. I just provided some ideas and ideas. It is our outstanding technical staff who are really doing the research. Wu Hao pointed at Yang Fang and said with a smile.
Haha, don't be humble. Your name is very popular among us these days here. Deputy Director Cheng joked for a while, and then said to Wu Hao: "We are just chatting casually, whatever we have to talk about." , it doesn’t have to be so formal, you don’t have to worry.”
Okay, let's just chat casually. As it happens, I also have some questions that I would like to ask you and the two professors. Wu Hao did not refuse anymore, but immediately responded.
That's right. Deputy Director Cheng high-fived and said happily, then looked around and turned to Wu Hao and said, "It's too sunny here, let's go inside and talk."
Okay. Wu Hao immediately agreed, and then walked into this super Haloxylon ammodendron forest with Deputy Director Cheng and the others.
After walking into the Super Haloxylon ammodendron forest, Yang Fang, who was accompanying him, immediately introduced it to everyone: "This Super Haloxylon ammodendron forest is a new drought-resistant variety that we planted and cultivated three years ago. We named it Super Haloxylon ammodendron.
Compared with the traditional Haloxylon ammodendron forest that we currently plant on a large scale in arid desert areas, the Haloxylon ammodendron in our Haloxylon ammodendron forest is a new variety cultivated by us using transgenic technology and gene editing technology.
We have implanted many new genes into this new variety of Haloxylon ammodendron. For example, we have inserted the fast-growing gene of Moso bamboo into it, which doubled the growth rate of Haloxylon ammodendron. It only takes about ten days to grow this new variety of Haloxylon ammodendron.
It can grow up to four to five meters tall.
As for the traditional Haloxylon ammodendron, its growth rate is actually not slow. In this arid desert area, it can grow 30 to 40 centimeters per year, and it can grow to one or two meters tall in two or three years. But if you want to grow to
A 'big tree' four to five meters high will take six to seven years, or even more than ten years.
Because the bigger the Haloxylon ammodendron plant is, the more water and nutrients it needs. In arid desert areas, these two conditions are difficult to meet, so its growth rate will be greatly affected.
As for our super Haloxylon ammodendron variety, in order to support its ultra-fast growth rate, its root system must be very developed. The root system of ordinary Haloxylon ammodendron can penetrate three to four meters into the ground and can reach a maximum depth of five meters.
As for the root system of our Haloxylon ammodendron, it can penetrate seven or eight meters underground, reaching a maximum depth of ten meters, and the length of the root system can be doubled.
In this way, these Haloxylon ammodendron can obtain water and nutrients deeper in the soil.
We know that in desert arid areas, due to high evaporation, the moisture content of the sandy soil on the surface is very small, but the moisture content in the deep layers is still very considerable.
In addition, the surface sand will also move with the wind, so the organic matter or nutrient content is very low. However, the deep sand rarely moves with the wind, so the nutrient content is relatively high.
And because it is deep, the bodies of buried animals and plants will ferment and rot due to high temperature and humidity, thus providing the nutrients and fertilizers needed for plant growth.
So we can see that these Haloxylon ammodendrons grow very luxuriantly, and even if they encounter sustained high temperatures, they are still very fresh and do not appear to be lacking water at all."
As she spoke, Yang Fang casually cut off a branch of Haloxylon ammodendron, cut it into several sections, and handed it to Wu Hao and Deputy Director Cheng. Then she said: "Everyone, please look at the branches of Haloxylon ammodendron."
The interface is still very moist and does not look dry at all, which shows that its root system is very developed and can provide enough water for it to absorb."
However, this means consuming the limited underground water stored under the desert, causing all the Haloxylon ammodendron to evaporate into the air. In the long run, it will lead to an even greater water shortage in the Gobi desert. Professor Zhang Chengwang intervened at this time.
His own doubts.
Upon hearing Professor Zhang's question, Wu Hao and the others looked at Yang Fang. Yang Fang did not panic, but immediately showed everyone the remaining branches and leaves on the Haloxylon ammodendron branch and lectured to everyone.
No, please see, the area of these branches and leaves is much smaller than that of traditional Haloxylon ammodendron, so it can greatly reduce the evaporation of water in the leaves.
