Tengger Desert is the fourth largest desert in China, with 71% of the sand dune area, and the annual precipitation is only more than 100 mm, but the annual evaporation is as high as more than 3,000 mm......

In a small corner of this desert, a small green state is gradually forming under the human factor.

The desert, naturally, is the yellow sand rolling.

The most feared thing is to encounter a sandstorm.

One is covered, people are turned on their backs, how many years of hard work, directly return to the pre-liberation in one breath.

However, Song Shan's luck was still quite good, all he saw was the good temper of the desert, and the bad temper of the desert was not shown in front of him.

"These saplings, haven't they taken root yet?"

Song Shan stood on this small green state, looking at the small saplings one by one.

This is a testing ground.

The experiment is on desert soil, what trees are most suitable for planting, and at least ten species of trees have been planted in this area, and various saplings show a variety of growth styles.

"It's not that easy!"

A middle-aged man who had become a little old in the wind and sand replied.

This is Professor Li Yongji.

Professor Li Yongji is from the School of Agriculture of Western University, and is a master at the level of vice president of Western University, with unique skills in tree planting, and is the person who has made the greatest contribution to the research of rapid trees, and is also the most obsessed with desert tree planting projects.

For this project, he even did not hesitate to resign from his position at Western University, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to this project, and has been sitting in the research laboratory of the Rich Desert Tree Planting Project.

He looked at Song Shan and said in a deep voice: "At present, we have only found a sapling that is suitable for the desert temperature and climate!"

"Some time ago, we died a batch of saplings in an average of three days!"

The woman next to Professor Li Yongji's words was Professor Xu Linfang from the Agricultural College of the National People's University.

The professors in the current laboratory are the two of them.

This project team is from the project team of the Rapid Tree Research, and in fact, there are a total of five research experts with at least doctoral degrees at the professor level.

In addition to Li Yongji and Xu Linfang.

There are also Professor An Fang from Ninghui Agricultural University, Professor Liu Yihan from Northwest Agricultural University, and Dr. Han Xu, a researcher from Xijing Academy of Agricultural Science and Technology.

However, only Li Yongji resigned from all his positions in the Agricultural Institute of Xi'an University for this project, and stayed here for many years, and the other professors were only part-time and would regularly take time to come to participate in research.

So at present, only Xu Linfang is here, and the other professors are in their school.

In addition, the project team has 12 tree planting technicians.

At the same time, the project team hired at least 50 people who were familiar with the desert around the local area, and the price offered was 600 yuan per month, which was definitely high, and naturally there was a confidential contract.

This project is currently a relatively confidential project of Fengsheng, and it is also the one in which Song Shan has invested the most research funds.

In a month, at least two million dollars were smashed into it.

"This batch of saplings should be the best batch in the past few months!"

Xu Linfang said softly: "Being able to grow for a full month without dying should be our biggest breakthrough during this time, and watching the growth of a batch of saplings, I have a feeling that they can grow!"

It was precisely because of the breakthrough that Song Shan was alarmed.

Song Shan couldn't wait to take a look.

After all, this project will be a great weapon of abundance in the future, and it will even shock the world.

The desert environment is getting worse and worse, not to mention that 20% of the world's area is now desert, just how many places become deserts every year, which is already a huge impact.

Regardless of which country, the suppression of the desert has become a matter of urgency.

So once the desert tree planting is successful, it will be a sensation all over the world.

"Populus?"

Song Shan squatted down, picked the branches of a sapling, and said in a low voice: "This poplar tree is suitable for desert planting, drought tolerance, and tenacious vitality......

He looked at it carefully: "This shouldn't be a simple poplar!"

Populus euphratica does have the characteristics of growing in the desert, but it is not very easy to feed, and the general Populus euphratica cannot hold the early seedling stage in many cases, and has already died in this arid desert.

And this batch of poplars gives Song Shan a very special feeling.

It must have been grafted with another kind of tree.

will have such an effect.

This is likely to become a fast-growing tree in the desert.

"Hmm!"

Li Yongji nodded and replied to him: "Before, I found a tree with no name written in your small greenhouse, I observed it carefully, and I felt that the tree was a little different, and its roots were different, and it felt as if it didn't have to be rooted in the soil Son Red, so I personally went to cut a section back, grafted it with poplar, and it took some time to cultivate today's new poplar!"

"The tree?"

When Song Shan heard this, his face moved slightly: "That's an ancient plant, I have just cultivated it, and I haven't had time to put on my name, it's a water dragon king!"

Before, he suspected that who moved his Water Dragon King, and finally cultivated a small tree of one meter and seven high, which was bare all of a sudden, and he also beat Song Tianci hard for this.

After all, there are not many people who can enter his small greenhouse, especially the little cauliflower in the small greenhouse recognizes people, and the snake will have a unique sense of recognizing people, as long as it is not a person allowed by Song Shan, entering the small greenhouse will be attacked by the little cauliflower.

A giant python more than five meters long, even if it is not poisonous, is not something that ordinary people can deal with.

"The Water Dragon King?"

Li Yongji and Xu Linfang, two professors with absolute authority on the knowledge of tree species, have never heard of this kind of tree.

"What kind of tree is this, how come I haven't heard of it!"

Li Yongji is an idiot in tree planting, he is obsessed with tree planting, and he is talented, even if he is not unforgettable, he also raises a glass to a powerful memory, and basically knows all kinds of trees, whether it is their growth or their characteristics.

But the Water Dragon King, this kind of tree, he had never heard of.

"The Water Dragon King is an ancient tree, rumored to be a sacred tree from the Shennong era, but even there is no record in the Book of Mountains and Seas!"

Song Shan personally analyzed it for them: "This kind of tree has no characteristics, the only characteristic, its roots are like that kind of rich bamboo, it can be pierced in the water, and it grows in the water, whether it is the roots or the trunk, it is different from others, and the requirements for the soil are not very high, as for what is the effect and medicinal properties, I am still exploring!"

Some ancient plants, even if they are the origin tripod, in fact, there are not too many records, even if the information base of the origin tripod is touched, the answer given is just a name.

The dragon tree species of Song Mountain was obtained from Yanjing, a relic of Tian Buyi.

The seeds of those ancient plants have basically been planted by Song Shan now, but the specific use, Song Shan himself has not figured out very clearly, and he still needs to explore slowly.

"There is no end to learning!"

Li Yongji sighed: "Xiao Song taught me another lesson!"

"Professor Li, this is a prize!"

Song Shan smiled: "I'm young, and my attainments in this area are not as knowledgeable as Professor Li, at most I just know more records of ancient plants!"

"Haha!"

Li Yongji laughed: "If you are ambitious, you are not old, your ability, in the study of the rapid tree, we old guys, we all look carefully, otherwise you think the old man is so easy to deceive!"

He was willing to eat his position as a university professor, almost abandoned his family, and came to this place to eat soil, because of his trust in Song Shan.

Song Shan conquered him with practical actions.

He saw hope.

It was precisely because of this hope that he was desperate and threw himself in.

"Xiao Song, this old man Li is not wrong!"

Xu Linfang also smiled: "In the study of tree planting, we are not as good as you, it is in response to that sentence, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach!"

"Both professors have won awards!"

Song Shan said modestly: "In terms of ability, I must be inferior to the professors, but I am a little careful, but God is a little better for me, and I am careful to find the right direction, and there is a breakthrough by accident, but I am lucky once or twice, there is no third time, agricultural planting, but also depends on the real ability, so these technical problems still depend on the two professors!"

"Put a high hat on us, you're doing it!"

Professor Li Yongji smiled.

"Professor Li grafted Populus euphratica with a dragon tree, but I don't have such an idea!" Song Shan didn't go down on this topic, and began to put into work, he took a closer look at this batch of long and somewhat thriving saplings, and said: "It seems that it is the growth of trees, and some fusion has occurred that we don't know about!"

"The water dragon king can only be grafted on poplars, and it doesn't have much effect on other saplings!"

Professor Li Yongji said: "So I also guess that it should be two different trees that have formed a fusion mutation that we don't know about, and have made the current new variety of saplings!"

"This sapling grows every day, and it's all recorded!"

"I feel like this is going to be a tree that can conquer the desert!"

Professor Li Yongji has put a lot of effort into the development of this sapling, as if he was bringing a child, bringing it out with one hand and one foot, and giving so much thought that it will not be seen by outsiders.

"This kind of sapling is Populus euphratica in the city, which is not very suitable, and I am currently recording this sapling as Fengsheng No. 1 Research Tree, the specific name, at least after it can completely establish a desert and become a tree that can be planted in the desert, it will be named!"

"Hmm!"

Song Shan also thinks it's better.

"But I think this may not be enough!" Song Shan said suddenly: "This kind of sapling, there are still some defects, this kind of milder desert may be able to grow, but some manic deserts may not be able to grow, I think, should we continue to improve!"

"Improvement is inevitable!"

Xu Linfang nodded: "But first we have to determine the current effect before we can make a decision on the direction of the next research!"

"Root!"

Song Shan said: "The key is the root!"

"The desert is more difficult to take root, this is an inevitable thing, if trees want to grow, it is very important to take root!" Professor Li Yongji is also studying this problem: "But at present, for Fengsheng No. 1, there is basically no potential for improvement in this aspect!"

"I'll figure it out again!"

Song Shan said: "I'll take one back to the Fengsheng Research Laboratory first, and I'll give you the answer when the time comes!"

"You kid, is there anything else you haven't taken out at the bottom of the box?" Professor Li Yongji said suddenly.

"What a thing!"

Song Shan hurriedly denied: "I'm very sincere, I took out everything I could!"

Of course, he hid a hand.

But never admit it at this time.

It's not that he doesn't trust people.

It's just a habit of character, being an official in the previous life, and having no friends in the sea, he always learns to be on guard against the people around him, which is the kind of heart that harms people and prevents people from having the meaning.

"Huh!"

Professor Li Yongji smiled, but he didn't care too much: "Forget it, you little fox, how can you say it now, you are also the chairman of a group, even if you hide a hand, you should be, my old man doesn't care about you anymore!"

"Not really!"

Song Shan swore that he would never admit it.

However, a person like Li Yongji, who is an old spirit and an old spirit, just glanced at him lightly, Song Shan had a feeling as if he had been seen through, he could only be a dead duck with a hard mouth, and he would not admit it if he was killed.

......

Back to the lab.

This laboratory was built temporarily, a few miles ahead of it is a desert, surrounded by a Gobi, belonging to a small town, and there are not many people in this town, a town of ethnic minorities.

Outside the laboratory, there are five off-road vehicles, which are used by the project team.

Song Shan's investment in the project and the treatment of the project personnel will never be ambiguous, and if you want to make achievements, you must be willing to do so.

There's a lot of information in the lab.

Song Shan took several days to digest, but it was a little unexpected for him, the progress was so fast, he didn't expect it, if he continued to have such an evolution, at most a year or two, he would be able to go crazy in the international dissertation on desert tree planting.

At present, the project team has more than one test site.

At the same time, more than one kind of sapling was tested.

In addition to the Fengsheng No. 1 sapling, there are also Fengsheng No. 2, Fengsheng No. 3, and Fengsheng No. 4......

It is only in the process of growing that the most suitable saplings for the desert can be studied.

"Salt wood can try to plant a little more area, and cultivate more seedlings, this kind of tree, I am very optimistic about their development in the desert!"

"In addition, this pine sylvestris sylvestris, although it puts a little more effort, it is also a good choice!"

"Spindle tree?"

Song Shan flipped through the information of this article, and his expression moved slightly: "Who proposed planting this kind of tree?"

"Chairman Xiao Song, it's me!"

A young man stepped forward.

"My student!"

Professor Li Yongji said: "Ye Dong!"

"Why do you think the bottle tree is suitable?" Song Shan asked.

The spindle tree, also known as the bottle tree, the Buddha belly tree, the kapok family.

"The bottle tree is difficult to plant, but its own characteristics are abnormal, if in the desert, this kind of tree can be planted, for many people who are lost in the desert, it will be a green state!"

Ye Dong said without humility or arrogance: "The inside of the belly of this kind of tree is like a source of life!"

"Where is the current planting area?"

"To the west of the main area!"

"Check it out!"

Song Shan stood up and said to Ye Dong: "I trust your judgment, but this tree is not easy to plant, since you have chosen, you are personally responsible, I will allocate funds, you want people to give people, ask for money to give money!"

"Xiaodong has just graduated from his bachelor's degree, and he really has no experience in independently taking charge of a project, this ......" Li Yongji hesitated.

"Professor, we have to trust young people!"

Song Shan said old-fashionedly: "They can afford to lose, I can hold on, I have made a lot of money recently, and I have earned more than 100 million yuan, this project, how much money I am throwing, I will survive to the end, unless I go bankrupt, the project will have to go through trials again and again before there will be results, I am not afraid that they will fail, I am afraid that they will not dare to try, any success will not come from chance, there are no 10,000 attempts, where is it in case!"
