Ha ha, just like it. The conditions here are relatively difficult, so just say what difficulties you have, and we will try our best to solve them if we can. Wu Hao said with a smile. Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zheng Kaixiang on the side also said: "Xiao Yang, this opportunity is rare, if you have any difficulties, please tell me quickly, otherwise you will have no chance if Mr. Wu leaves."

Hehehehe... Everyone laughed when they heard Zheng Kaixiang's words

Yang Fang also smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Wu, I really have a problem and would like to trouble you."

Tell me, let me hear? Wu Hao laughed.

Yang Fang said with a smile: "That's right, we need a large experimental site, and it's best that this experimental site can be around here for us to plant some experimental plants."

Wu Hao nodded and asked, "How big is it?"

Come to a hundred acres first! Yang Fang laughed.

Wu Hao laughed when he heard the words: "Yes, the tone is not small. Okay, I will help solve it."

Thank you Mr. Wu. Yang Fang smiled excitedly.

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile and said, "Now can you tell me about the project you are researching? I didn't hear anything, so I lost a hundred acres of land."

Hehe, after a chuckle, Yang Fang smiled at them and introduced: "Our project is mainly engaged in the cultivation and research of drought-tolerant plants, mainly hoping to cultivate some plants suitable for growth in desert and arid areas through technical means such as genetic modification and gene editing. Plants, such as herbaceous plants, woody plants, vines, etc.

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

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

The harm of desertification has been learned by you in junior high school geography, so I will not go 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 sandstorm that sweeps across the entire north every spring, and the smog that entrenches most of the country every winter are actually related to this.

So if we can solve the problem of desertification, it means solving many problems at once, from poverty alleviation and people's 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,

But the situation remains grim.

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

Moreover, 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 northwest region is still intensifying.

Of course, this may be related to the semi-warm global environment, but it is also inseparable from our human overuse of natural resources. Especially agricultural reclamation and planting, animal husbandry, use a lot of water, resulting in the disappearance of many oases, 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 Northwest China.

If only relying on this traditional desertification control, even if it is useful, it will take a slow process, one hundred years, two hundred years, or even longer.

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

For example, cultivating drought-tolerant plants that are more drought-resistant and have a higher survival rate, or cultivating fast-growing plants that grow faster for sand care.

For example, moso bamboo, which is the fastest growing plant in the world, is also a native plant in our country. It can grow from the tip of a small bamboo shoot that has not yet broken the ground to a new bamboo 20 meters high within two months. This is definitely an incredible growth rate.

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

And because of the well-developed root system, the reproduction speed is very fast, and a single moso bamboo can breed a bamboo forest within a few years.

The last is the 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 it likes moist and fertile land. How can this barren desert survive? Zou Xiaodong didn't believe it.

Ha ha, this is what we are going to do now. Yang Fang said with a smile: "At present, we mainly have two directions for the transplantation and cultivation of moso bamboo for desertification.

The first direction is to use moso bamboo as the main body, and then add some genetic parts of desert drought-tolerant plants to it, and then directly transplant moso bamboo into the desert for planting, and finally cultivate moso bamboo varieties suitable for desert growth.

The second is to extract the fast-growing gene in moso bamboo, and then put it into some drought-tolerant plants, so that these drought-tolerant plants have the same growth speed as moso bamboo. "

Hearing Yang Fang's introduction, both Zou Xiaodong and Shen Ning felt that it was a bit of a fantasy, and felt that it was impossible.

Wu Hao is better, he nodded and smiled and asked: "Very good idea, now we have reached that part."

I have just taken the first step, and it is still 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 shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry about this, follow your pace, I believe this project will definitely accomplish a lot."

After getting Wu Hao's affirmation, Yang Fang also became happy, and then introduced to Wu Hao with a smile: "Actually, there are many other ideas like this.

For example, another major experimental target of ours, corn. Corn itself is a drought-tolerant crop, and it grows very fast. It has relatively tall plants and a relatively complicated root system. It is widely planted in Northwest China.

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

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

By raising some livestock and poultry in exchange for our people's favorite meat products and eggs.

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

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