Vol 2 Chapter 1667: The new "nemesis" of the desert

　　, military technology

　　 In addition to the rose garden, netizens also paid attention to another experimental project of the Biological and Life Sciences Research Center, which is the drought-tolerant plant cultivation project. Netizens found relevant papers published by Yang Fang and did not know where they found a video of the experiment. This is a test video. In the video, it can be seen that a Haloxylon spp. actually drilled out of the sand like a bamboo, and it could grow to an adult plant two or three meters high in two or three days.

　　 Before, everyone thought this was a special effect, but after careful analysis, it was discovered that this is not a special effect at all, but a real video. And related papers and materials have also verified the authenticity of this video, and this video has quickly spread across the Internet and has become a topic of concern to many people.

　　 is so concerned, as long as there are multiple reasons. First of all, let’s talk about the background. Our country has a vast desert and Gobi land. It can be said that the desertification is very serious and the natural conditions are bad.

　　 In the past few years, under the leadership of the country, basically the whole country has been working hard to realize ecological management such as returning farmland to forests, returning farmland to grassland, closing mountains and reforestation, planting trees, preventing wind and sand, water and soil conservation, etc.

After these years of hard work, our ecological management work in this area has achieved world-renowned results. We have successfully resisted the expansion of the desert, and achieved anti-communism against the desert, and transformed some previously uninhabited areas with yellow sand It has become an oasis forest with luxuriant aquatic plants and shady trees. Even, we have used decades of work to successfully conquer a desert, turning a famous desert wasteland into an oasis for thousands of years.

　　 The north, where the sky was full of yellow sand, has been gradually reduced and disappeared under the protection of the Three North Shelter Forest and under the comprehensive management over the years.

　　Such achievements are certainly worthy of pride, but we can't be complacent while proud, let alone relax. Because we are now in a stage of wrestling between the desert and us, if we do not work hard, we will be hit by the desert and swallow all our previous efforts.

Moreover, our country has an area next to the vast desert. The current governance area only accounts for a very small part of the increased desertification land. Therefore, planting trees to prevent wind and sand fixation, and ecological governance has a long way to go. It can be said that this is what it is. A start.

　　 In the past few years, thanks to the country’s vigorous advocacy, people’s environmental protection qualities have become higher and higher, and their enthusiasm for environmental protection actions has become higher and higher, and various environmental protection projects have emerged one after another. It has become a fashion to plant trees in the northwest of China.

　　 Through the popularization of some apps, everyone has gradually become aware of the types of plants and trees planted in the area next to the Northwest Desert, such as the most common species of Haloxylon, seabuckthorn, masson pine, sand willow, and some Populus.

　　 However, the growth rate of these plants is too slow, and the survival rate is not high. This is true even for the easiest Haloxylon spp., and its growth is actually not good. A lot of people have worked so hard to accumulate points to plant a shuttle, and hope that it can grow into a big tree, even a large fir wood. But in fact, many people actually went to see that these Haloxylon spp. grew like a low, half-dead weed, which was very disappointing.

　　 As for Masson pine and Salix Populus, these growth rates are too slow. During the seedling period, it is difficult to withstand the wind and sand. Maybe after a sandstorm, these seedlings were buried.

　　 Some areas have tried to plant some fast-growing poplar varieties, including the Three North Shelterbelts, which have adopted this fast-growing poplar variety. However, in recent years, it has been discovered that these fast-growing poplars have various problems.

　　 First of all, this kind of fast-growing poplar has a relatively short age. Basically, it will begin to decay after 20 to 30 years of growth, so it is not suitable for long-term planting. Secondly, fast-growing poplars will produce some fluffs, and these fluffs will be flooded in spring, which will cause a series of problems.

For example, in a fire, these fluffs are very light and flammable, floating in the air, just like powder floating in the air, once there is a fire, it is likely to flash, and even in a sealed space, there will be an explosion. This Also quickly what we call a dust explosion.

　　Secondly, these fluffs will gradually accumulate on the ground and form clumps. These dry fluffs are natural ignitors. When they encounter a little spark, they will flashover and expand rapidly. There is no time to stop the extinguishment.

　　 Especially in the northern regions, the spring is dry and rainless, and often accompanied by northwest winds. Once it encounters Mars, then possible patches of woodland may be ignited and burned, and decades of hard work will be destroyed.

　　 In addition to being flammable, these fluff will also seriously affect human health. Previously, there were relatively few cases of allergic rhinitis and respiratory diseases associated with people in these fast-growing poplar areas. Among them, allergic rhinitis has shown a geometric increase. After verification, these fluff and another desertification control plant Artemisia sphaerocephala have become the biggest culprit~www.readwn.com~ So over the years, under the widespread appeal of local people, local governments Greening of trees and plants has begun, and the planting of fast-growing poplar and Artemisia sphaerocephala has ceased.

　　 In addition, this kind of fast-growing poplar has relatively poor resistance to diseases and insect pests, and is prone to large-scale pests and diseases, leading to direct death of a large number of fast-growing poplar forests. Therefore, the cultivation of fast-growing poplar is not recommended or even prohibited.

　　 So now whether it is in the academic circle or in the desertification control department, most people actually hope that there will be an excellent wind-proof and sand-fixing afforestation tree. And the super shuttle, researched by the Haoyu Science and Technology Biological and Life Sciences Research Center, has given many people hope, and some people even call it the "nemesis" of the desert.

　　 Especially the video was fermented on the Internet, and was quickly forwarded by many people to watch, and directly pushed to the relevant departments.

　　 In the face of so many netizens' pushes, the official also had to respond.

　　 The official response was also very detailed and specific. They responded that they had contacted Haoyu Technology's Biological and Life Science Research Center, which confirmed the official direction of the video material and the real existence of the Super Shuttle in the video.

However, this kind of super shuttle is still in the experimental stage of cultivation, and it is cultivated by genetic engineering. The reason why it grows so fast is that the researchers extracted the gene of moso bamboo and implanted it on the shuttle, which made the shuttle possessed. The growth rate is the same as that of the moso bamboo, so it grows so fast, it can grow from the ground into a plant two or three meters high in a day or two.

　　Although this super Haloxylon has excellent performance, it is a new genetically modified plant, because it is still uncertain whether its safety is reliable.
