Vol 4 Chapter 2383: Have you ever seen a pomegranate the size of a volleyball?

After saying goodbye to Zhou Yonghui and Lin Jiaming, Wu Hao returned to the base alone. According to the usual habits, Wu Hao will have a meal with the two and chat first. However, because the live-fire target test has just ended, the two still have a lot of work to do.

So Wu Hao didn't disturb the two of them and returned on his own.

Back at the Northwest Research Center, Wu Hao checked the time, seeing that it was still early, and immediately came to the Biological and Life Sciences Research Center. For Wu Hao's arrival, several people in charge were a little surprised and greeted them one after another.

In response, Wu Hao waved his hand and told them to continue working without worrying about him, while he followed Yang Fang to the Plant Science Research Center.

All over these glass greenhouses, it is filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers. Compared with the biting cold wind and the white snow outside, it is very warm and humid inside. Various plants are flourishing, and some bees and butterflies dance among the flowers of these plants.

Many fruit trees still had huge fruits hanging on them, and he was able to recognize some of them.

"This pomegranate is so big." Following Shen Ning's admiration, Wu Hao looked over and saw a relatively low pomegranate tree in front of Shen Ning. There are three or four pomegranates hanging on the tree. Each pomegranate is very large, almost the size of a volleyball, and it is almost two of the high-quality pomegranate varieties currently on the market.

Hearing Shen Ning's exclamation, Yang Fang smiled and walked to the edge of the pomegranate tree and held up a large pomegranate that was being held artificially, and then smiled at Wu Hao and introduced: "This is the latest pomegranate we cultivated. The new variety, its fruit volume is almost several times the size of the pomegranate currently on the market. Just such a pomegranate can reach about three kilograms.

Not only is the fruit large, but the fruit inside is also very large, and it has no seeds and is full of pulp. "

Saying that, Yang Fang took the scissors from the staff next to her, and cut off the pomegranate on the tree, which was bigger than a volleyball, ruddy and shiny.

"Hey…"

Before Wu Hao could stop it, he was cut by Yang Fang. In response, Wu Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It was finally cultivated, it's a pity to cut it like this."

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Yang Fang held the pomegranate and showed it in front of Wu Hao: "It's okay, we have cultivated a few of this variety, and we are going to pick it anyway."

Hearing Yang Fang's words, Wu Hao smiled helplessly and took the pomegranate from Yang Fang's hand. Sure enough, it was very heavy, and it was estimated that it was at least six or seven pounds.

Wu Hao lifted the huge pomegranate and looked at it carefully. The whole pomegranate was not round, but a four-edged round shape. The skin was very smooth, as if it was going to be in oil.

"I've never seen such a big pomegranate. We weigh it." Wu Hao immediately put the pomegranate on an electronic scale prepared by the staff and found that the pomegranate weighed 3,327 grams. A pomegranate weighs about six and a half catties, which has exceeded the 5.2 catties of the Guinness World Records held by pomegranates.

Seeing this number, Wu Hao and Shen Ning were both startled. And Yang Fang has a smile on his face: "This is not the heaviest. There is a tree over there that is bigger than this, and the weight may reach about four kilograms."

There are even bigger ones, and Wu Hao couldn't help but be surprised. To be honest, this is the first time he has seen such a big pomegranate when he is so big, so he was surprised and worried, and then asked Yang Fang, "Is this pomegranate also the result of your genetic modification and gene editing?"

Yang Fang smiled and shook his head: "Actually, this pomegranate variety is not genetically modified, it is gene editing to be precise. We found the gene that controls the size of the pomegranate and edited it immediately. That's why it grows so big. of pomegranates.

If you want to try it, it tastes good. "

Hearing Yang Fang's suggestion, Wu Hao couldn't help but ask, "Can I eat it?"

Of course, it tastes good. Saying that, Yang Fang picked up the big pomegranate, then walked to the edge of a workbench, washed the pomegranate in clean water, and wiped it off with kitchen paper. Immediately, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he cut the pomegranate skin cleanly with a knife, and then gently broke it with his hands, and the pomegranate split into two halves.

Crystal clear large pomegranate seeds are exposed inside. Compared with ordinary pomegranate seeds, the volume of this pomegranate seed is much larger, almost two to three times that of ordinary pomegranate seeds.

The entire pomegranate is filled with dense ruby-colored pomegranate seeds, shimmering with glass, very beautiful.

Yang Fang neatly arranged the pomegranate into several halves, then handed it to Wu Hao with a small tooth and said with a smile, "You can taste it."

Seeing this, Wu Hao took it with a smile, then lightly took one off with his hand and put it in front of his eyes to observe it carefully. The whole pomegranate seed is in an irregular translucent shape, and it flashes with a vitreous luster under the light. If you don't know it, it really looks like a ruby ​​at first glance.

After looking at it, Wu Hao put the pomegranate seeds into his mouth, and then bit it gently. As the juice in the pomegranate seeds burst out, a sweet and sour moment filled his mouth. The sweetness is mostly about 70%, the sourness is about 20%~www.readwn.com~ and there is a little pomegranate that unique fragrance.

The taste is very good. Wu Hao smiled and nodded, then broke a few pomegranate seeds into his mouth and slowly chewed them.

We always say that a fruit tastes delicious and sweet. This concept is very abstract. Speaking of which, everyone has different tastes and different acceptance of sweet and sour, so the degree of liking for this fruit is also different. To put it bluntly, taste is a very competent experience, and it is difficult for us to unify it.

It's just that everyone will accept and welcome a good taste, and this kind of taste is often more neutral. Too sweet and too sour are not good. Generally speaking, the sweetness and sourness of a fruit is just three to seven. If it is too sweet, it will be greasy, and if it is too sour, it will not taste good.

Obviously, the pomegranate in front of him tastes very good, and Wu Hao doesn't have that kind of hardness in his mouth, which is a very good feeling.

Is this also a drought tolerant crop? Wu Hao asked Yang Fang with a smile.

Yang Fang smiled and nodded and replied: "Yes, pomegranate itself is a relatively drought-tolerant crop, it is drought-tolerant but not water-tolerant. If there is too much water, it will not grow well.

In addition, pomegranate itself is very resistant to barrenness and has low soil requirements. This also means that it can grow not only in some rock crevices, but also in deserts.

Of course, a good growing environment will also make pomegranates grow better, so fertilization during the growing season is also essential.

And we also took a fancy to the drought and barren resistance, low temperature resistance characteristics of pomegranate, as well as its economic benefits, so we conducted in-depth research on it and cultivated many new varieties. "
