Chapter 1132: The First Child to Live Independently
The development of the light oil field has made the western region, which is suitable for planting clear oil trees, see the hope of development.
The number of varnish seeds refined by Lin Zeng is increasing every month, and as a new energy source that can naturally connect with gasoline and diesel, varnish energy has a lower cost of use than other new energy sources such as wind and solar energy.
Except for the high cost of Crystals when exchanging plant seeds, the other inputs are very low.
As long as the plant-based energy strategy in western China can be developed, it will be the next rich Middle East.
It is foreseeable that the output of light oil fields will drive the economic development of this region.
It is not that the varnish tree cannot grow in other climatic conditions.
However, after planting experiments in various regions, the varnish trees planted in the southeast of China, south China, northeast and other places are far inferior to the varnish trees here in the Northwest Plateau, and the quality of varnish is much inferior.
To a lesser extent is the marginal environment of the subtropical desert. The varnish trees planted here, although the yield is slightly lower, are not inferior in quality.
According to the principle of best yield, the same price can be exchanged for varnish tree seeds, of course, to get the highest yield.
Therefore, after the planting research of varnish trees in each region is basically completed, the seeds of varnish trees exchanged in the subsequent exchange are planted in the most suitable area.
The Varnish Tree may not be a mainstream energy plant in the Xenodimensional world.
Because of the development of breeders in the Xenoworld world, the Xenoworld is quite different from the Earth world in terms of energy use.
For example, the most common car traffic on Earth has long been replaced by flying plants in the Xenodimensional world.
However, there is no doubt that in the earth world, where plant civilization is still in its infancy, varnish energy is a very suitable transitional energy source.
At a certain stage, the varnish tree is bound to become a relatively environmentally friendly mainstream energy source.
The long life span of the varnish tree means that its high price is not a disadvantage for growers.
Every seed of the varnish tree refined from Lin Zeng's hands will become a small oil field, which will eventually converge into varnish energy

In Qinghe City, in the Qingzhu Forest Community, there is a banyan tree that is more than 200 years old, with a dense canopy, which shades the shade under the tree.
Unlike ordinary banyan trees, the yellow-green banyan leaves of this large banyan tree are neatly stacked on top of each other, and from a distance, it looks like the walls and roof of a large tree house.
Under the banyan tree, there are more than a dozen teenagers and children with a large age gap.
Some of them are about thirteen or fourteen years old, some are already adults, and some are just little beans who are no more than the knees of adults.
A sturdy young man with a backpack on his back, with a reluctant smile on his face with some green and scumbag, patted other people's little heads one by one with his big palm and said, "Erbao, Huanhuan, Xiaomin...... And our little princess Juniuniu, the eldest brother has grown up and is going to move out, and he will come back to see you in the future and bring you delicious food. ”
Chen Xiaoyu was the first child to move out of the weeping forest.
Until he was fifteen years old, he had been wandering the streets, living in a state of poverty, hungry and cold, and in precarious circumstances.
Later, in the winter when he was nearly sixteen years old, he received an invitation from Miss Lanny, so that he could spend the evenings in the old banyan tree in the weeping forest, with a stable meal, a warm room, and school.
Chen Xiaoyu spent the happiest two years of his life in this big banyan tree.
In the past two years, under the urging of the banyan elf, he made up for his basic studies. However, in the end, the previous fifteen years of study were too lacking, and in these two years, he only had an ordinary reading and literacy foundation, but he did not have the knowledge to take the college entrance examination.
Now, at the age of eighteen, he must leave here and live on his own.
The children who live in the old banyan trees in the weeping forest know the rules here on their first day.
If they need to further their education, these children will be able to live here until they go to university. Children who are admitted to university can apply for a tuition loan from the old banyan of the weeping forest. This loan needs to be repaid within three years of employment.
But if you don't continue to study, after you reach the age of 18, you will have to leave the care of the old banyan in the weeping forest and become self-reliant.
As the oldest child living in the Weeping Forest, Chen Xiaoyu is the first child in Qinghe City to leave the Weeping Forest.
Yesterday, it was his birthday, and after celebrating it in the treehouse with his friends, today, he packed his bags and prepared to leave.
It was only after he turned sixteen that he learned the true date of his birthday.
Every street child who lives in the old banyan tree in the weeping forest can know the true date of his birth.
This is very meaningful for many children who don't even know where their parents are.
"Brother Xiaoyu, I can't bear you to go!" A boy with glasses, about seven or eight years old, a little thin, he held Chen Xiaoyu's hand, and said with his eyes a little red.
"Brother Xiaoyu, woo, I miss you, don't go!" A chubby little boy, only four or five years old, hugged Chen Xiaoyu's thighs and cried.
The other children also looked at Chen Xiaoyu with sad expressions and red eyes.
The children who have lived in the old banyan tree in the weeping forest for a long time are like relatives, and they have a good relationship with each other.
They have no parents and relatives, so they treat other children who live in the same tree as their own relatives.
In addition to the time at school, they studied together, washed, and ate together at night, and now they couldn't help crying when they watched Chen Xiaoyu leave.
Chen Xiaoyu rubbed his eyes, sniffed, grinned, and said loudly: "It's okay, don't cry your nose, I'm not leaving Qinghe City, you Xiaoyu brother has found a job, you have to work hard." After I leave, you must also study hard, you must be admitted to the university, and go to college for your little brother!"
Chen Xiaoyu has been up early in the past two years, and finally made up for the courses from primary school to high school, and barely has a high school graduation degree, he knows that his talent is limited, and it is a waste of time to study again, so he simply found a job in Qinghe City.
In the past two years, the special plant planting industry in Qinghe City has developed rapidly, and many suburbs and cities have secret plant plantations to recruit planting workers.
Chen Xiaoyu looked for the banyan tree elves who took care of their lives in advance, asked about special plants, and found that they could learn a lot of knowledge about taking care of secret plants from these banyan tree elves.
In the past half a year, Chen Xiaoyu has learned many ways to take care of special plants from the old banyan of the weeping forest where he lives, and half a month ago, he went to a plantation established by a secret realm in Qinghe City for an interview.
This plantation is mainly used to cultivate bitter herbal tea, an herb commonly used in medical treatment. In the field of anti-inflammatory treatment, bitter herbal tea has many advantages that cannot be matched by antibiotics, and it is very sought-after and expensive.
When Chen Xiaoyu applied for the job, he talked eloquently about the plant care knowledge he learned from the old banyan tree in the weeping forest, and was soon favored by the owner of the plantation, and he was accepted to become a plant caretaker in the plantation.
Because of his skill, his salary is 800 yuan higher than that of an ordinary planter.
Moreover, the plantation package is located on the outskirts of the city, and the expenses are not large, according to Chen Xiaoyu's idea, he can still save three or four thousand yuan a month, and I heard the boss say that if it is managed properly, there will be a bonus at the end of the year.
Chen Xiaoyu said something to this group of little guys who have lived together for more than two years, and finally stopped the fermentation of sadness.
agreed with them to come back to see them on the weekend, Chen Xiaoyu waved his hand and embarked on the road to adulthood.
After walking more than 100 meters, he turned back again, looked at his younger brothers and sisters who had not yet moved, smiled and waved his hand again, and then strode away.
He was the first child to live independently after leaving the Weeping Forest.
In the future, there will be more children who will walk out of the old banyan tree in the weeping forest and start their wonderful lives.
Their childhood, not stained with gray and lost in hardship due to abandonment and loss of parents, can be at peace in the tree, under the care of the old banyan tree of the weeping forest, and spend the time before adulthood peacefully.
