Chapter 230: The Plateau

As you may know, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the roof of the world.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the largest plateau in China and the highest in the world, known as the roof of the world and the third pole, as well as one of the sources of the Chinese nation and one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.

Most of it is in Tibetan areas and Qinghai provinces, accounting for 23% of China's total area. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau starts from the southern edge of the Himalayas in the south, reaches the northern edge of the Kunlun Mountains, Altun Mountains and Qilian Mountains in the north, is about 2800 kilometers long from east to west, about 300~1500 kilometers wide from north to south, and has an average altitude of more than 4000 meters.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is cold all year round, with an average temperature below zero degrees and a large temperature difference between day and night, so it can be said that few crops can grow in this environment except for the growth of plateau grass.

However, Xinsheng No. 1 can grow in such a harsh environment, which shows that his adaptability to the environment is by no means ordinary.

Moreover, he not only adapted to the harsh environment of the plateau, but also achieved a yield of several thousand catties per mu, you know, the area of the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau accounts for 23 percent of the total area of the country, and there are many grasslands, even if one percent is taken out to plant Xinsheng No. 1, his output can feed all the Chinese people.

In addition to its high adaptability to the environment, Xinsheng No. 1 also has a particularly low requirement for soil nutrients, because more than 90% of the energy he needs is obtained by sunlight.

Some people may wonder how the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has low temperatures all year round, and it is frozen soil, how can Xinsheng-1 grow normally, this problem was solved when Liu Sheng was studying Xinsheng-1, it can be said that Xinsheng-1 is a species that has never appeared on the earth, and all plant gene sequences are artificially created, and it is combined with the genetic sequence of a variety of grasses, taking the essence and removing the dross.

Liu Long is satisfied and relieved that Xinsheng No. 1, which can grow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, because Liu Long has no pursuit of money now, and he is happy to do something meaningful to mankind.

"Young Master, look at the freshman number one here, his color is turquoise, I don't think you will know what area this is. Liu Long looked at the cloud-shaped growth chart, pondered for a moment, and then heard Liu Sheng's voice.

"This should be the plain area of the Yellow River Valley. Looking at the position pointed by Liu Sheng, Liu Long replied without thinking.

"It seems that young master, you have been imprisoned by habitual thinking. Liu Sheng glanced at Liu Long mysteriously, and then said proudly.

The reason why Liu Sheng said that Liu Long was imprisoned by inertial thinking is well-founded.

Wheat is the product of the domestication of its wild ancestors by humans in the Neolithic Age, and has been cultivated for more than 10,000 years.

Moreover, 7,000 years ago, Turkey, Iran and other countries had records of cultivating wheat, and the earliest planting area of wheat in China was the plain area of the Yellow River Basin.

After all, ancient science and technology were not as developed as today's society, at that time, all natural creatures, including human beings, were naturally selected, that is to say, without the interference of external forces, where the environment is suitable, it will grow, Liu Long said that the Yellow River Basin Plain is the most suitable environment for wheat to grow.

Seeing Liu Sheng's pretending to be mysterious and embarrassed, Liu Long had some hateful teeth, so he replied angrily, "Tell me, why not the plains of the Yellow River Basin, if you don't say that you are ugly, hum." ”

The reason why Liu Long is not angry is not because Liu Long has little energy, but because Liu Sheng is too angry at this time, so let's put it this way, if Liu Sheng is currently pretending to be mysterious and angry, if he is thrown on the street, he will definitely be beaten to death.

Seeing that Liu Sheng, who was overdone, he had no choice but to correct his attitude, but he still whispered to himself, "Hey, I finally earned some face in front of my IQ of four hundred, who knew that the young master would be so stingy." ”

Hearing Liu Sheng's self-talk, Liu Long said a little speechlessly, "Okay, your IQ of three hundred is better than mine." ”

"Young master, this is what you said, you must tell Liu Luo and them this news in a while, who let them squeeze me from time to time. "At this time, Liu Sheng, where is the top scientist in the biomedical field, he is simply a primary school student who has scored 100 points in the test and has been praised by his parents.

"Let's start by talking about what kind of area this is and why they grow so differently. ”

It turns out that this area is the sub-city of the southern province, and 90% of the energy required for the growth of Xinsheng-1 comes from the irradiation of sunlight, while Yashi, because of its proximity to the equator, has sufficient light, so it is difficult for Xinsheng-1 with sufficient energy to thrive.

Liu Long, who understood the reason, had a new understanding of Xinsheng No. 1, and then asked, "In this case, can Xinsheng No. 1 be planted in the desert?" ”

After Liu Long finished speaking, Liu Sheng didn't have time to answer, and Liu Rui, a divine beast who was playing, suddenly said, "Dad, I know the desert, the desert is also called the sandy desert, which refers to the barren area where the ground is completely covered by sand, the plants are very scarce, the rain is scarce, and the air is dry. ”

After suddenly hearing the answer of the divine beast, Liu Longleng paused, and asked with interest, "Baby, awesome, do you know what deserts are in our country?" ”

"Dad, I know this. Seeing that his younger brother was praised, Liu Yuhan preemptively said.

"The total area of deserts in our country is about 700,000 square kilometers, and if the total area is 1.28 million square kilometers including the Gobi Desert, which is more than 500,000 square kilometers, accounting for 13% of the total land area of the country, the arid region in northwest China is the most concentrated area of deserts in China, accounting for about 80% of the total desert area of the country, and the main deserts are the Taklamakan Desert, the Gurbantunggut Desert, the Badain Jaran Desert, the Tengger Desert and the Kumtag Desert. ”

Hearing that his baby daughter's answer was exactly the same, Liu Long gave them a big compliment, and asked in surprise, "Who gave you these?" ”

No wonder Liu Long was surprised, because the actual age of these two divine beasts was only one year old, and the knowledge of their answers was so unpopular.
