Ha ha, just like it. The conditions here are relatively difficult, so despite any difficulties, we must try our best to solve what we can solve. Wu Hao said with a smile. Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zheng Kaixiang on the side also said: "Xiao Yang, the opportunity is rare. If there is any difficulty, please hurry up. Otherwise, President Wu will leave without chance.

Ha ha ha ha ... Everyone laughed at Zheng Kaixiang's words

Yang Fang also said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Wu, I really have a difficulty and want to trouble you."

Tell me, do I listen? Wu Hao laughed.

Yang Fang said with a smile: "This is the case. We need a large experimental site. This experimental site is best to be around here for us to plant some experimental plants."

Wu Hao nodded and asked, "How old?"

Let's start with a hundred acres! Yang Fang laughed.

Wu Hao lost his smile and said: "Yes, the tone is not small. Yes, I will help solve it."

Thank you Mr. Wu. Yang Fang smiled excitedly.

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile: "Now can you introduce me to the project you are studying? I haven't heard anything, so I lost a hundred acres of land."

Ha ha, after a chuckle, Yang Fang smiled and introduced to them: "Our project is mainly engaged in the research of the cultivation of drought-tolerant plants, and we hope that we can cultivate some suitable for the growth of desert arid areas through technical means such as transgene and gene editing Plants, such as herbs, woody plants, vines, etc.

The desertification area of ​​our country is about 3 million square kilometers, accounting for nearly 40% of the total area of ​​the country. The situation is very serious.

These desertification areas are mainly concentrated in the northwest and north areas. The northwest area occupies the largest area. Basically, more than 80% of the entire northwest area is such a desert area.

The hazards of desertification, which you have studied in junior high school geography, will not be traced back. Let me just say that it is the source of poverty in the Northwest and the biggest environmental problem facing our country.

Including the sandstorms that swept across the north every spring, and the haze that haunts more than half of the country every winter, is actually related to this.

So if we can solve the problem of desertification, it is tantamount to solving many problems at once, from poverty alleviation and livelihood, to natural environment, social problems, to animal and plant protection, biodiversity and so on. "

"Although our country has achieved world-renowned achievements in desertification control, the form is still grim.

We collected the dust weather, temperature, and precipitation of the entire northwest region over the years, and found that the rain line from the east is actually moving backwards, and the rainfall in some areas has continued to decrease, and the dust weather has increased significantly.

In addition, the number of high-temperature and dry weather recorded in recent years is much higher than before, which shows that the arid climate in the entire northwestern region is still intensifying.

Of course, this may be related to the global semi-warm environment, but it is also inseparable from our excessive use of natural resources. In particular, agricultural reclamation and cultivation, animal husbandry, and the use of a lot of water sources have caused the disappearance of many oasis and exacerbated the arid climate in this area.

In such a large environment, although we have succeeded in local desertification control, we still cannot reverse the desertification situation in the northwest.

If this traditional desertification control alone, even if it is useful, it will require a slow process, one hundred years, two hundred years, or even longer.

So we are wondering if we can use the current biotechnology to accelerate the desertification control process.

For example, cultivating drought-tolerant plants with higher drought tolerance and higher survival rate, or cultivating fast-growing fast-growing plants for gusha.

For example, Phyllostachys edulis, which is the fastest growing plant in the world, is also a native plant in our country. It can grow from a small bamboo shoot tip that has not broken the ground to a 20-meter-high newborn bamboo in two months, which is definitely an incredible growth rate.

Secondly, the root system of Phyllostachys pubescens is very developed, and the root system is strong and strong, and can absorb water and nutrients deep into the ground of tens of meters.

And because the root system is developed, the reproduction speed is very fast, and a single bamboo can breed a bamboo forest in a few years.

The last is economic value. For example, bamboo shoots can be used for food, and bamboo is very environmentally friendly and is widely used in various fields. "

But bamboo is from the south, and I like the moist and fertile land, how can this hairless desert survive. Zou Xiaodong did not communicate.

Haha, this is what we are now doing. Yang Fang said with a smile: "At present, we have two main directions for desertification transplantation and cultivation of Phyllostachys pubescens.

In the first direction, even if Phyllostachys pubescens is the main body, then add some genetic parts of the desert drought-tolerant plants, and then transplant the Phyllostachys edulis directly into the desert for planting, and finally cultivate the Phyllostachys edulis varieties suitable for desert growth.

Secondly, the fast-growing genes in Phyllostachys pubescens were extracted, and then put into some drought-tolerant plants, so that these drought-tolerant plants had the same growth rate as Phyllostachys pubescens. "

Hearing Yang Fang's introduction, both Zou Xiaodong and Shen Ning felt that there was some fantasy and felt that this was impossible.

Wu Hao is better, he nodded and smiled and asked: "Good ideas, now that part of it."

The first step has just been taken, and it is too early to succeed. You know, biological science is relatively slow. Even if we have a greenhouse that can control the temperature at will, the growth of plants requires a process, so it takes a long time to see the effect. Yang Fang explained to Wu Hao.

Wu Hao said with a smile and shook his head: "There is no hurry in this respect. Come at your pace, I believe this project will definitely make a lot of difference."

After being confirmed by Wu Hao ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ Yang Fang was also happy, and then he smiled and introduced to Wu Hao: "In fact, there are many such ideas.

For example, our other major experimental goal, corn. Corn itself is a drought-tolerant crop, and its growth rate is very fast, and the plants are relatively high, the root system is also complicated, and it is widely planted in the northwest region.

Now our domestic consumption of corn is not only limited to corn grain itself, but more derived from corn derived products.

For example, we are now the world's largest consumer of corn and soybeans, and our corn consumers are still mainly in farming.

By breeding some livestock and poultry, in exchange for our favorite meat products and eggs.

In addition to corn grain, corn stalks are also very good feed. Even now, many areas have begun to switch to planting corn as silage feed.

We now want to breed drought-tolerant corn that can grow in this desert, so as to control the desert and obtain higher economic output value. "
