Chapter 642 The Unscientifically Strong Populus euphratica Seedlings

Instruct Guo Limin to strengthen his ability to absorb dew ability.

This is not only a way to enhance the drought tolerance of C. elegans, to achieve sand fixation and afforestation, and to control deserts, but also to enhance the ability of C. elegans to absorb "Spiritual Qi radiation".

The combination of Populus euphratica and quinoa will further reduce the concentration of "Spiritual Qi radiation" and cut off the probability of "Spiritual Qi recovery" again.

As for the success of desert control technology, it is natural that local tyrants in the Middle East will spend a lot of money to introduce it. When the time comes, Guo Limin's four-winged quinoa can be exported, and the Populus euphratica spirit wood is not.

After the project was merged with Guo Limin, the next work became very smooth.

The two projects have become the same project, and the researchers on both sides have become colleagues in the same research group, and there is no conflict at all.

Even Liu Gang, whose emotional intelligence is extremely low, changed his "rigid" nature. He invited Lu Li's students to rub together, drink and brag together, and the relationship instantly became closer and became "Dude".

Guo Limin led the researcher to continue to study the genetic improvement of Tribulus terrestris, and also transferred a few from Lu Li's students to do gene editing together.

Lu Li and another group of people planted the seeds of Populus euphratica in the nursery plantation of the institute and cultivated Populus euphratica seedlings.

In addition to Lu Li's students, the researchers involved in seedling cultivation are also researchers from the Institute.

The two teams have merged, the estrangement has been eliminated, and they have gotten along very well.

……………………

One week later.

The seeds of 2,000 Populus euphratica trees cultivated in the nursery plantation have all germinated smoothly and grown seedlings more than a foot tall.

Lu Li decided to transplant the seedlings directly into the desert outside.

When Guo Limin heard the news, he left the genetic improvement technology of Tribulus terrestris under study and hurried over.

"Professor Lu, are you...ready to transplant?"

Guo Limin blinked when he saw the one-foot-tall Populus euphratica seedlings growing out of the nursery, " Is this... a little too early?"

Although these Populus euphratica seedlings have grown more than a foot tall in a week, and the growth rate is ridiculously fast, which has proved that Professor Lu's technology is very powerful.

However, if such a large seedling is planted in the desert, it will definitely not survive! It's too... too vicious and merciless, isn't it?

"It's getting late!"

Lu Li laughed, "In fact, it can be planted directly in the desert. However, the seeds need more water for germination, and watering is too troublesome. , just raise the seedlings in the nursery."

"Huh?"

Guo Limin was stunned.

The genetic improvement technology of Populus euphratica you have developed has been so strong?

Can the seedlings be planted directly in the desert? Even... if it's not too troublesome to water, the seeds can be sown directly in the desert?

Is this the gap between the world's top scientists and ordinary researchers?

I am proud of the improvement technology of the four-winged quinoa. Compared with Professor Lu's technology, it is not worthy of lifting shoes!

No wonder the above requires Professor Lu's research as the leading role. If I were to choose, I would only choose Professor Lu's technology. The gap is too big!

Guo Limin's face was bitter and he looked like he had been hit hard.

Lu Li laughed, didn't say much, and instructed the surrounding students and staff: "According to the planned transplanting position, start transplanting!"

The first batch The planting location of Populus euphratica is in the desert outside the oasis of the research institute.

According to the growth scale of Populus euphratica, Lu Li planted 2,000 Populus euphratica trees in the desert outside the institute with the students and staff, using a ten-meter spacing as the planting standard. seedlings.

Guo Limin also participated in the planting of Populus euphratica seedlings. He did not understand Lu Li's planting method at all.

"Professor Lu, your planting method...isn't it particularly appropriate?"

Guo Limin looked at these plantings that were just dug a hole and loaded into it. way, totally unacceptable.

This is planting trees in the desert! It's different from planting trees anywhere else!

If you don't make a nutrition pack, why don't you even make a wind and dust stand? It's a little bit windy and sandy, aren't your trees... all buried?

"It's fine!"

Lu Li waved his hand with a smile, "I checked the weather forecast and there are no sandstorms in the past few days. Don't be so troublesome."

"No! It's not about the sandstorm!"

Guo Limin said quickly: "There is no need for a sandstorm, a slightly stronger wind will blow up the sand, and your trees will be buried in the ground. "

"It's not windy today, that's enough."

Lu Li smiled and looked confident.

In fact, it is indeed full of confidence. As long as one day of sunshine, these Populus euphratica seedlings can store a large amount of "Spiritual Qi", and even if they are buried in sand tomorrow, they can grow out on their own.

Guo Limin was a little stunned.

What's going on? What does it mean that no wind is enough today?

Professor Lu naturally does not understand desert planting. Why is he so confident?

If there is no wind for a day, your Populus euphratica has already taken root and survived? This is obviously impossible!

Guo Limin was completely confused and could not understand what the situation was, nor why Lu Li used this obviously wrong planting method.

It's just... This is Professor Lu's project, he can't intervene, let alone change the way Lu Li grows.

I used to say that Professor Lu is easy to get along with and is not so young and energetic. Now it seems that Professor Lu's youthful spirit is reflected in the academic aspect!

Professor Lu is so talented that he will inevitably be extremely confident in himself. Fortunately, there are only 2,000 saplings, so even if they all die, there is not much loss.

Guo Limin sighed and shook the head. A few days later, when all the Populus euphratica seedlings died, Professor Lu must be able to deal with this issue more cautiously.

……………………

It was windy that night.

Wind is the most normal thing for the desert. The huge change in temperature difference between day and night will inevitably cause air convection.

It's not too windy, not a sandstorm.

The windbreaks planted on the oasis outside the institute swayed rustlingly.

This kind of wind is enough to roll up the yellow sand and bury those saplings.

Guo Limin stood at the window, looking at the swaying windbreak forest outside, listening to the wind whistled past, sighing to the head, "The saplings planted during the day... all finished!"

Professor Lu, even if your technology is ahead of the whole world, if you plant trees in the desert, you still need to see God.

When planting trees in the future, follow the desert planting method and install the sand-proof bracket!

In Lu Li's dorm.

Liu Qin stood by the window, watching the wind howling outside, and said to Lu Li with a worried face: "Lu Li, the tree we planted during the day..."

"It's fine!"

Lu Li laughed and shook the head, "As long as it's not a strong wind that can pull out the seedlings, it won't matter."

"The wind blows sand and dust. , will you bury the sapling?" Liu Qin was still a little worried.

"Bury it if you bury it? Can it grow out differently?"

Lu Li laughed, reaching out to embrace Liu Qin, "You must trust your husband's skills, no matter where it is. A technique!"

"Hate!"

Liu Qin rolled her eyes at Lu Li.

“Haha!”

Lu Li laughed.

……………………

second day early in the morning.

Lu Li and Liu Qin just went downstairs when Wen Wan and the others ran over.

"teacher, it was windy last night..."

"It's fine!"

Lu Li smiled and waved his hand, "Even if it is buried in sand and dust It's alright, those saplings will definitely survive."

As he was talking, Guo Limin also hurried over.

"Professor Lu, I just took a look. Most of the trees we planted yesterday were buried by sand."

Guo Limin wiped the sweat from his forehead, Said to Lu Li: "Professor Lu, are we going to salvage those buried saplings?"

"Don't worry!"

Lu Li laughed," Let's go eat first. We'll just go and have a look when the sun comes out."

Hearing what Lu Li said, Guo Limin was helpless and had to follow Lu Li into the cafeteria.

A meal is eaten, the sun has risen from the eastern sky.

The morning sun is sprinkled all over the earth, and the vast yellow sand seems to be coated with a layer of golden brilliance, which looks very spectacular.

However... such a magnificent sight represents the Death Forbidden Land that is extinct!

Lu Li took everyone out of the oasis windbreak forest of the institute and came to the area where the trees were planted yesterday.

At first glance, in the vast yellow sand, there are only a few scattered saplings left, still stubbornly stretching their branches and leaves, and all other saplings are buried under the yellow sand.

"Huh? These saplings..."

Guo Limin was surprised to find that the scattered saplings in front of him had grown a bit taller than yesterday.

Growing so fast?

In the desert environment, with extreme water shortage and lack of nutrients, these saplings grow so fast?

Professor Lu's skills are truly extraordinary.

This genetically modified Populus euphratica can really be grown in the desert.

If these saplings can survive a week later, it will thoroughly verify the feasibility of Populus euphratica planting technology.

Those saplings buried in the sand...what a pity.

If the trees are planted according to the requirements of normal desert planting, the 2,000 Populus euphratica seedlings planted yesterday must all survive, right?

What a sapling! Pity!

Guo Limin secretly sighed.

"Wow... Look! Look!"

At this time, Guo Limin heard a burst of exclamations.

I turned my head and saw that in the yellow sand in front of me, the sand was shaking slightly, as if something had come out of it.

"oh la la", a cloud of sand and dust rose up, and a touch of green swayed out.

The saplings buried in the yellow sand, like bent bamboo poles, bounced out from the bottom of the yellow sand, straightened the trunk, stretched the branches and leaves against the sun, and the green green leaves were shining in the sun. .

The next moment, the sound of oh la la is endless, the saplings buried in the yellow sand stubbornly bounced out of the yellow sand, stretching their branches and leaves in the face of the sun.

"Wow! The sapling is growing out of the sand!"

"Haha! It's alive! The sapling is alive!"

"Wow! very good!"

Sister Wen Wan and other Academician students couldn't help cheering.

The oh la la sound of breaking free from the yellow sand is still ringing.

Originally there were only a few saplings left alone, but now... one after another popped up from the yellow sand, and the gratifying green color was re-embellished in the vast yellow sand.

What a powerful life force!

Guo Limin was full of excitement.

The toughness of Populus euphratica is already very good. Now it seems that Professor Lu has further improved the wood toughness of Populus euphratica. Even if it is bent under the yellow sand, it can re-stretch and stand upright again!

Guo Limin was full of amazement: Professor Lu's technology is really beyond my imagination.

I don't think so, it's because my technique is not good.

Can Professor Lu be like me? If I can't do it, it doesn't mean that Professor Lu can't do it. To measure Professor Lu by my own standards is a huge mistake in itself.

I plant trees in the desert, and I have to try every possible way, exhaust every protective measure, and take care of the saplings cautiously.

This itself does not conform to the laws of nature and is not an environment for plants to grow naturally.

Professor Lu's extensive planting proves that his Populus euphratica improvement technology fully meets the requirements for growth in the desert natural environment.

The difference in technology between Professor Lu and I is just like the difference in prestige. It's simply the difference between Heaven and Earth!

Guo Limin looked towards Lu Li's eyes full of admiration.

What's going on? Lao Guo, your eyes... make my heart go crazy!

Lu Li hurriedly turned his head and looked towards the gentle girl and the others who were cheering and jumping beside him, "Go to measure and record the growth rate of Populus euphratica seedlings."

" Okay!"

Sister Wen Wan and the others quickly took the lead, picked up the ruler and the record sheet, and sampled these Poplar Tree seedlings.

"I'm here too! I'm here too!"

Guo Limin shouted happily, and followed along to test the Populus euphratica seedlings.

Compared with the measurement of Wen Wan and the others, Guo Limin did a more thorough job. He even cautiously cut open the sand and measured the roots of Populus euphratica.

After peeling off the yellow sand, what appeared to Guo Limin was the extremely lush root system.

These roots have penetrated deep into the yellow sand. The roots are more than fifty centimeters long when dug up, and it is not known how long the roots have grown underneath.

In one night, the root system of Populus euphratica seedlings grew at least fifty centimeters?

Guo Limin was stunned!

My God! What kind of monster is this Populus euphratica?

As a researcher who has studied desert plants for several decades, I...I can't understand this Populus euphratica.

This is too unscientific, right?

The growth of plants, whether they are roots or branches, requires nutrients. It grows so fast overnight, where does the nutrients come from?

After covering the dug up yellow sand again, Guo Limin hurried to Lu Li and said to Lu Li, "Professor Lu, you Populus euphratica...what technology did you use?"

"Gene editing technology!"

Lu Li laughed, "I modified the photosynthesis gene of Populus euphratica, strengthened the photosynthesis ability, and greatly reduced the water required for photosynthesis. More organic matter, more nutrients."

That's true too!

The spirit root gene is essentially a gene similar to photosynthesis. After being connected with the original photosynthesis gene of Populus euphratica, the effect is very significant.

"You can already modify the photosynthesis gene?"

Guo Limin was amazed: "I also tried to edit the photosynthesis gene, but I couldn't do it at all. You It's really too powerful!"

"Professor Lu, can I learn this technology from you?"

Lu Li was a little embarrassed when he said this. .
