Qin Xuemei originally thought that the survival rate of this afforestation should be at least one-third, or even more.
The one-third survival rate is the result of Qin Xuemei's careful calculation.
After all, they made a lot of preparations at the beginning of the forestation.
After all the seedlings are successfully transplanted, they will come over every day to check the growth of the seedlings.
In addition, they walk several miles every day to collect water for irrigation.
If they find that there is an accident in the growth of the seedlings, they must make repairs in time.
As a result, after spending so much effort, the reality is far from the ideal.
One-third and one-tenth, put these two numbers together, they are completely different.
In the afforestation of plateau desert areas, and this is the first large-scale afforestation, the survival rate of one-third is already a passing figure.
However, experts from the Ministry of Forestry told them that the true survival rate is less than one tenth.
After more than two months of hard work, the great ambitions I once had have yielded such a result.
For Qin Xuemei, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow.
‘Eh!’
'Right!'
Suddenly, Tan Xuemei had a flash of inspiration, and she suddenly thought of the seedlings in the experimental field.
Those seedlings were not the same batch as the ones inspected by the experts. The seedlings transplanted in the plot in front of me were all brought from other places and were not the seedlings grown independently on the dam.
Although both are North China larch saplings, one is a native seedling and the other is a migrant.
Immigrants will inevitably be a little acclimatized and unable to adapt to the extreme environment of Saihanba.
But this is not the case for independent seedlings. They have adapted to the Saihanba environment as early as the seed stage, and those seedlings that are not adapted all died during the cultivation process.
'right!'
'The survival rate of those seedlings must be different!'
Thinking of this, Tan Xuemei's expression perked up and she said quickly.
"Gong Li, we also planted a batch of seedlings, and those seedlings are different from the ones you see."
"Oh?" Li Zhong's expression changed and he asked curiously: "What's the difference?"
Qin Xuemei explained: "Those seedlings are all independently raised on Bashang, and there are both biennial and annual ones."
Independent breeding?
Hearing this word, Li Gong's eyes flashed with joy.
As an afforestation expert from the Ministry of Forestry, he certainly knows how to adapt measures to local conditions.
After all, conditions such as temperature, humidity, and soil salinity are different in each place, and these are key factors that affect the survival rate of seedlings.
Locally cultivated seedlings and seedlings transferred from outside have great innate advantages.
Therefore, as soon as he heard the words "independent seedling cultivation", Li Gong became interested.
"Let's go over and have a look."
About half an hour later, a group of people arrived at the experimental site on foot.
'good!'
When Li Zhong saw Miao Zi for the first time, he couldn't help but say "good" in his heart.
Compared with the seedlings I inspected before, the seedlings in front of me are even better just based on their appearance.
Although the number of needles on these seedlings is very sparse and they look extremely malnourished, according to Li Zhong's experience, almost all of these seedlings are healthy seedlings.
The reason why I use "almost" instead of all is because Li Zhong found that there were also a lot of "dead seedlings" in the experimental plot.
Li Zhong took a rough look at the seedlings in front of him, and then couldn't wait to call in two assistants.
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhong, come on, check with me."
Seeing this scene, everyone present had different thoughts.
Yu Zhenglai and Qu He looked at each other silently, and both of them could see the surprise and joy in each other's eyes.
Although the two of them have different positions, they have worked together for many years in their early years and have already developed a tacit understanding.
Sometimes they can tell each other's thoughts just by looking at each other.
Li Zhong's sudden change in expression just now was caught in their eyes.
At first, Li Zhong was obviously worried, but once he arrived at the experimental site, his mood changed.
At this moment, Li Zhong seemed a little excited and a little surprised.
On the other side, the college students were shocked when they saw Li Zhong's change.
Although they did not have the same experience as Yu Zhenglai and Qu He, they were still vaguely aware of it.
The situation seems to be improving?
The college students who reacted looked at each other, and then all looked at the busy experts expectantly.
Of course, one person needs to be excluded from this.
That person is none other than Wu Yansheng!
In terms of the ability to observe words and emotions, Wu Yansheng is definitely better than other college students. If others can see the signs, how can he not see it?
Based on the experts' performance just now, it is not difficult to find that the survival rate of the seedlings in front of us is definitely higher than that of the previous batch.
Otherwise, there would not have been a trace of joy on Li Gong's face.
It was precisely because of this discovery that the plan he had been brewing went bankrupt!
Just half an hour ago, when Wu Yansheng heard that the survival rate was only one-tenth, he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He is so happy!
Because the transplanting plan for this batch of seedlings is generally based on ideas provided by ‘Feng Cheng’.
As a result, the survival rate of this batch of seedlings was only one tenth!
A survival rate of one in ten can be described as a complete failure!
Just now, Wu Yansheng had thought about how to apply eye drops to Feng Cheng.
If you, Feng Cheng, hadn't insisted on afforestation on Highland No. 3, would the survival rate have been so low?
No way?
If you had listened to my advice, your survival rate would definitely be higher now!
Let you show off!
Is it embarrassing?
The key is that you have lost your face in front of experts from the Forestry Department!
It's a pity that Wu Yansheng's thoughts were beautiful, but reality poured a basin of cold water on him, and it was the kind of cold water that chilled his heart!
'Damn it!'
'Damn it!'
'Damn it!'
During this period, Wu Yansheng was 'educated' by Li Jie so many times that when he saw Li Jie, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he did not dare to challenge Li Jie's authority.
After holding back for so long, I finally waited for an opportunity. Who would have thought that the plan would be aborted before it even started.
While Wu Yansheng was incompetent and furious, Li Zhong and his two assistants had already inspected all the seedlings in the experimental site.
I saw Li Zhong holding the data tablet and walking in front of everyone with a happy face.
"Director Yu, Director Qu, the survival rate of this seedling is simply beyond my imagination, after preliminary determination."
As he spoke, Li Zhong raised his palm and slowly stretched out three fingers.
“The minimum survival rate is over 30%!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene suddenly exclaimed.
The 30% survival rate is definitely a great encouragement to all of them!
Because this number is not only an improvement in data, but also means that they have found a new direction!
