Chapter 805: The Fourth and a Half Stage Poplar
"Song, are you sure?" said Alepf.
Desert afforestation is not a simple matter, it does not mean that you can succeed, the probability of failure is very high.
The successful afforestation of 100,000 mu requires at least several hundred thousand mu of afforestation.
In half a year, with the current abundant scale in Siwa, it may not be able to complete the task.
"Your Excellency Alef, I won't joke about this kind of thing, Huaguo has a saying, a mule is a horse, pull it out and slip it, you will know!" Song Shan said calmly: "If Siwa can't afforestate 100,000 mu within half a year, I can make ten percent of the profits!"
"There is another saying in Huaguo, a gentleman is hard to chase after a horse!"
Alepf smiled: "Song, if you say this, you have to bear it, if within half a year, the Siwa Oasis can't add 100,000 acres of desert forest, then you can only get 22.5 billion investment, but you have to do 25 billion work!"
"What if I could?"
Song Shan asked rhetorically: "Your Excellency Alepf, since it is a bet, if I win, you have to give me some reward!"
"Egypt and China are best friends, we will not treat our friends badly, if you can do it, I am willing to represent the Egyptian Ministry of Environment, in the next five years, to triple the share of investment!"
Alepf said indifferently: "Song, please don't question our determination to control sand in Egypt, the Egyptians live in the yellow sand, and we want the world to belong to the Nile forever!"
"I hope that the friendship between Egypt and China will last forever!"
Song Shan smiled happily.
Tripled, that is, 50 billion Egyptian pounds, which means that the last worries of abundant greening have been eliminated, and the team can be organized in Egypt for at least ten years, and all costs will be recovered.
Before, we were worried that this was a one-shot deal, 25 billion Egyptian pounds is a lot, but the project is not very large, and it can be completed in two or three years, and then the team that has worked hard to establish sand control and afforestation in Egypt will become useless, which is a waste.
Alepf also smiled, he was glad that he had chosen Huaguo Fengsheng in the first place, and what Fengsheng could do was something that Abby International could not complete.
..................
At noon, inside the base, everyone was eating.
"I made it, I made it!"
Suddenly, outside the base, in the No. 3 construction forest, a crazy voice shouted: "Hahaha, I finally succeeded!"
It was loud, in Arabic, but it was so crazy that it could be heard from all over the base.
"Who is it?"
Song Shan raised his head, looked into the distance, and looked at a shadow in front of him, and saw it clearly, as if an Arab was running wildly.
"It should be Professor Buster, he has been staying in the laboratory of the No. 3 Construction Forest for the past two days, it is an independent but laboratory, not in our building!"
Fang Shishi next to him replied to Song Shan: "Professor Buster is an Egyptian technician recruited by us with the help of Alep, he has studied sand control and tree planting for decades, and his experience in desert and tree planting is above Professor Han, Professor Han is more focused on tree planting, and he is very accomplished in sand control!"
"Buster is an honorary professor at Cairo University, but he has been engaged in research for many years and is extinct in the desert, so he is rarely known.
Alepf next to him also said softly in Chinese.
"What is he doing?"
Song Shan watched him disappear into the back of the trees and asked.
He has no attainment in the Arabic language, and he communicates with Alef in Chinese, and at this time, he suddenly feels that it is more advantageous to be familiar with one or two foreign languages.
With his being washed day and night by the Origin Ding, his body has evolved in all directions, both his memory and comprehension have increased exponentially, and he even has the ability to never forget, if he wants to learn, it is not a difficult thing.
Of course, the main thing is whether he is interested in or not, and Song Shan is still not very interested in language, and with such time, he might as well focus on agricultural planting research.
"It seems that his research has been successful, after he entered the base, he did two things, the first thing is to help control the desert, let us adapt to the desert, and the second is to devote himself to the research of new types of saplings, Professor Han communicated with him very well, as if to give him some inspiration, but he has made a breakthrough in the new type of desert saplings!"
Fang has been managing these technicians for ten years, and he naturally knows the research direction of each technician.
"A new type of sapling, interesting!"
Song Shan's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at Aleph and said, "Your Excellency Alepf, let's go and have a look together to see if Professor Buster can surprise us!"
Song Shan is looking forward to it, because he has always emphasized that he should also put aside his prejudice abroad and recruit some local scientific research professors to increase the ability of the scientific research team.
It's not that Song Shan wants to look down on the level of domestic scientific research, but in the era of 2001, China, whose economy has just begun, is indeed inferior to the world's level in terms of scientific research.
Generally lower than the world level, including agricultural science and technology, the United States, the Netherlands, Germany, these advanced agricultural countries, in the development of agricultural science and technology, has already surpassed China by a large extent.
Although Egypt has not made much achievements in this regard, it still surpasses China in agricultural scientific research.
The scientific researchers here are still relatively level.
"Okay!"
Alepf also hopes that Bastet can make progress, so that Egypt will not look like it, there is no confidence at all, such cooperation is obviously a little unequal, if Baster has the ability to develop in technology, Fengsheng wants to take Egypt, and he has to consider it.
........................
The group entered the desert of the No. 3 construction forest, this desert forest is still quite large-scale, although it is not large, but it is very neat, and it grows very well.
"Mr. Gong, Mr. Fang!"
A middle-aged man with a straw hat trotted over.
"Liyang, this is the chairman, he personally came to inspect your planting!" Gong Jian said in a deep voice.
Li Yang is the project manager of the No. 3 Construction Forest.
"Chairman!"
Li Yang hurriedly looked at Song Shan and shouted, for the chairman of the rich greenery, that is a legendary figure admired by countless people, he Li Yang has never seen it.
"You're welcome!"
Song Shan waved his hand and said, "Professor Buster shouted happily here just now, is his research successful?"
"Whether it succeeded or not, I don't know, anyway, I know that he killed a large number of my seedlings, and my No. 3 construction forest may have to replenish the seedlings in two days!"
Li Yang said with a wry smile, if it weren't for the fact that these technicians were very expensive, he would have wanted to beat people, this is not a country, how difficult it is to cultivate saplings, after the nursery of the No. 2 construction forest is not there, there is not much inventory of No. 1 and No. 3, and it was not easy to cultivate a batch, and the result was destroyed by Buster.
"Take us around!"
Song Shan said with a smile.
Doing research definitely requires paying, no matter what the company is, the investment in research and development is always an astronomical amount.
"Yes!"
Li Yang nodded.
Construction Forest No. 3 is located to the south of Siwa, which has less wind and sand and is the most water-rich part of the oasis, because there is a lake next to it.
The No. 3 construction forest also has its own nursery, but it is not large-scale, and it was built for technical research.
Song Shan and the others walked into the nursery, and the small saplings sprouted and grew up happily under the half-sand and half-soil soil, about 10,000 trees, but many died.
"Suoshuomu?"
Song Shan looked at the sapling, and was a little puzzled: "Isn't it proposed in China to make a bottle tree?"
"The bottle tree is good, but the sapling is difficult to grow, we planted the bottle tree in the No. 1 construction forest in the north, but it consumes a lot of water resources, and the sand and soil here are not suitable!"
Gong Jian analyzed in a low voice and said: "So after our technical team, after investigation, we denied the planting of bottle trees, and changed to sea buckthorn and Saxon trees, and the desert components here are easier to plant for these two saplings!"
"Adapt to local conditions!"
Song Shan nodded and agreed, although each desert is sand, the pH, soil composition, and groundwater resources contained in it are all different.
They walked over, and there was a makeshift laboratory next to it, a tin house, a two-story building, and many technicians came in and out.
Song Shan Alefu and they walked in, only to see Han Xu, Buster, and more than a dozen technicians were there, and they were concentrating on research.
"A new type of sapling?"
Song Shan saw it clearly, the new sapling was a little familiar, and he felt that he had seen it somewhere.
"Chairman?"
Han Xu saw Mu Jing for the first time, and hurriedly put down what he was doing and trotted over.
"Professor Han!"
Song Shan squinted at the sapling in front of him, and everyone was looking at it, and said, "Why do I look so familiar, is it the ancient tree you stole in my small greenhouse before?"
His small greenhouse is not accessible to ordinary people, but these scientific research professors, there is a special case, Song Shan called them together, and now they are their leaders, they do research for abundance, Song Shan can not treat them badly, the so-called money is a subordinate method of enveloping people's hearts, what can really envelop them is to let them contact them have never been in contact with knowledge, this is the enveloping of scientific researchers, under the explosion of their curiosity, even if Song Shan drives them away, they will not leave.
But these professors, one, two, three...... He meows people with every face and skin, so Song Shan's small greenhouse will often lose some things, sometimes he can send them back, and sometimes he doesn't send them back at all.
Song Shan also opened his eyes and closed his eyes, after all, the things he paid the most attention to were in his origin world, and the small greenhouse was currently only the second-ranked private planting base.
"Hehehe!"
Han Xu smiled: "Chairman, let's not pay attention to these little things!"
"It's not a trivial matter!" Song Shan sighed: "Professor Han, this ancient tree is very difficult for me to find seeds to cultivate, and it has been grafted with modern pine trees, but one of my research topics was taken away by you, and I didn't send it back, Professor Xu Fanglin knows that those who borrowed things will be returned, and if this continues, the landlord's family will have no surplus grain!"
"Chairman, don't worry, when I finish the research, I will return it immediately!"
Han Xu patted his chest and said.
Song Shan pouted, when he set up a fast-growing tree research team, Han Xu was one of the main forces, he knew the ability of this guy, but he also knew the virtue.
When it comes to what he has in his hand, it is really not so easy to get it back.
"Let's talk about the results of your research!" Song Shan said helplessly.
"Yes!"
Han Xu was also happy to divert the topic and invited Song Shan and his party into the scientific research room inside.
"All-weather environmental simulation laboratory?" Song Shan looked at this laboratory that looked shabby on the outside and was dazzling on the inside.
"In order to build such a laboratory, we used three million Egyptian pounds?" Fang Shiyi replied with a grinful sigh beside him.
The laboratory is a gold-swallowing beast, for the cultivation of new saplings, it is being done at home, it is also being done abroad, and the domestic investment is greater, but after all, this is a front-line battlefield, and you can't rely on the domestic market for everything, so this money must be spent.
In this laboratory, about 100 square meters of saplings are planted, and these saplings have grown, and there is something special.
"Populus euphratica!" Song Shan's eyes were certain, and he said: "It should be Populus euphratica after grafting, and it should be grafted more than once, at least more than four times!"
"The chairman is the chairman, the eyesight is outstanding, I carried out the first grafting, but the back, it is all the credit of Professor Buster!"
Han Xu pushed out the middle-aged Arab man beside him, this bearded Arab who seemed to only see a pair of big eyes was also looking at Song Shan, looking at Song Shan with special eyes.
"Professor Buster?" Song Shan looked at him, he could make Alepf value it, and let Han Xu accept it so quickly, there must be someone who was capable.
"You...... Good ......" Buster took the initiative to say hello, and there was a very lame Chinese to speak, obviously only two days of learning, just two sentences.
Song Shan smiled, opened his mouth in English, and asked, "Professor Buster, do you know English, we can communicate in English!"
One thing that cannot be denied is that in the world, there are certainly more people who can speak English than Chinese, and the mainstream of Chinese is in Asia, and there are many Chinese throughout Southeast Asia, but English is currently the most communicative language in the world.
"Song, I look up to you very much, your attainments in tree planting and your experience in desert management are all my learning goals!" Buster's English was very slippery, and he hurriedly spoke.
"Professor Buster, you've won the prize!"
Song Shan's English is also okay, but it can only be called Chinese-style English, and it is not a big problem to deal with the exam, and in terms of speaking, it seems a little unfamiliar, but it can still be communicated.
The communication of technical personnel, let the translator translate, it is not very suitable, and he prefers face-to-face direct communication, so Song Shan took the initiative to ask Bastet if he can speak English.
"Professor Buster, the new poplar trees you have cultivated should have entered the fourth and a half stages of the desert tree, and it is only one step away from the fifth stage!" Song Shan is also an agricultural scientific researcher, he entered the concentration for just a moment, and devoted himself to these poplars, after inspection, he found that Buster did things that domestic scientific researchers could not do.
Several stages of the desert tree were proposed by Song Shan, and at present, this measurement is the most standard in the world, and many people recognize it.
The fourth stage, which is the weak water resources, that is, does not need irrigation, with the help of the power of rain, plus the saplings that can already absorb the components of the desert soil, which is also the mainstream of abundant afforestation, there are still problems, if the weather does not rain once a year and a half, 50% will wither.
When you really enter the fifth stage, it is a sapling that grows up in a waterless state and is thrown directly into the desert.
Song Shan has it, but he doesn't dare to take it out, Fengsheng Agricultural Science and Technology Research Institute is in the desert, there are at least ten large laboratories, but at present, there are no more than ten large laboratories, but at present, there are no more than ten large laboratories, and the fourth and a half stage is still struggling, but there are a few finished products, but the defects are very big.
Unexpectedly, the first breakthrough point is here, the fourth stage and a half of poplar saplings, although they have not completely entered the fifth stage, but there are many problems that can be solved.
