Dongliao Province, Liangang, a huge cargo ship, sailed to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The cargo ship, loaded with high-quality goods produced by the Huaguo factory, will arrive in country A in 15 days to complete the transportation work.

Fifteen days later, a middle-aged man with brown hair and blue eyes received an iron box with a height of one meter, a length of three meters, and a width of two meters from a cargo ship.

The tin box is transported to a truck for two hours, and finally enters a very ordinary-looking building.

"Jeremy, everything is going well?" asked a middle-aged white woman with three layers of fat swimming rings on her waist and abdomen, constantly inserting the sweat on her forehead.

"Bertha, there is no problem, the box is intact and there is no damage to it. The freckled white man parked the car, poked his head out of the window, gestured confidently.

"Damn," the white woman gasped, patted the carriage, and burst into a foul mouth, "hurry up, Dr. Markham has asked several times today, hurry up and unload the cargo and send it to the lab." ”

"Bertha, didn't you just bring back a batch of plants two months ago, why are you in such a hurry?" Jeremy jumped out of the pickup truck, opened the back compartment, took the key from Bertha, and began to open the stainless steel lock on the tin case. He was a little surprised by her anxious appearance, and couldn't help asking.

"Don't mention it," said the fat Bertha, who stretched out her thick, round fingers, stomped her foot, and lowered her voice, "The two batches of plants that were brought back earlier were already dead before they were planted. I heard Professor Markham's students say two days ago that if this batch doesn't work again, they will no longer try to ship these plants back to China, and they will go directly to China to start research. ”

Jeremy listened to Bertha as he opened the tin box.

Inside the tin box is a small wooden box.

Pry open the nails of the wooden box, and there are dozens of plants inside. The roots of these plants are wrapped in moist soil and wrapped in special plastic bags, and even after more than 10 days of transportation at sea, the roots remain moist. They are all cut off some of the branches and leaves, and the main trunk of the upper part of the root system is less than seventy or eighty centimeters high.

The bare trunk hung with a few dry leaves. Bertha frowned, swinging her thick thighs, and climbed into the back compartment, where she squatted with difficulty, carefully examining the growth of each plant, and then snapping a photograph.

"Alas!"

"What's wrong?" Jeremy pulled the plants down, took out a cart from the bed of the pickup truck, and looked strangely at the fat woman who was sighing hard, "Is there anything wrong with that?"

"If I'm not mistaken, these plants, like the first two batches, died long before they reached the shore. Bertha shook her head and said, "The seeds transported by air cannot germinate, and the adult plants transported by sea are all dead, so these plants can only survive on the land of China?"

Jeremy was a little stunned, he was holding a plant, not up or down, not knowing whether to continue to carry it, or other ways to deal with it.

"Forget it, let's get to the plantation first, and let Dr. Markham and them check it again. "The fat woman Bertha was easy to get in the car and difficult to get off, and it took a lot of effort to climb out of the car with the help of a middle-aged man.

This is a private research institute sponsored by a consortium in country A.

Professor Markham, a well-known biologist and botanist at the University of Michigan, was invited here six months ago to conduct research on some of the institute's special plants.

These special plants have amazing growth patterns.

Some seemingly ordinary fruits and vegetables can climb vines to grow indoors, and the demand for sunlight and nutrients is very little compared with similar plants.

What could be more pleasing to a scholar of botanical studies than these exotic plants?

However, the work of the institute did not go well.

Initially, they studied plant seeds, as well as rhizomes, flowers, fruits, and leaves procured from China.

Unfortunately, a phenomenon has emerged that Professor Markham is completely unable to explain. No matter what kind of instrument, the analysis and decomposition of these plants, the data and conclusions they obtained, clearly tell them that these special plants are simply ordinary plants.

The climbing tomato that can be grown indoors is a common commercial tomato in the Chinese market.

Strawberries with jaw-dropping fruiting abilities, every piece of data, is no different from ordinary strawberries.

At first, Professor Markham thought it was an error in the experimental specimen.

However, after repeated comparisons and experiments, the conclusion is still the same, and the team led by Professor Markham finally realized that the research in this direction is completely meaningless.

They began to choose to plant in the adult plant, hoping to study the plant itself, where it could be studied.

However, their work eventually ushered in disappointing results again and again.

No matter how carefully the people who collect these plants in China and how carefully they protect the seeds or seedlings of these plants, each plant will take root and survive in country A.

It seems that after leaving the land of China, these plants are like losing water and soil, losing their roots, no matter how advanced the equipment is used, these plants that were still growing vigorously in ordinary families in China before transplantation will wither in the blink of an eye.

When Professor Markham saw that the trunks of the plants had been completely dried up after a thorough examination by his students, he reaffirmed his original idea and planned in his head.

Obviously, this research cannot be carried out in country A, and the only way is to move to China and carry out research on these special plants in China.

Professor Markham's ideas and plans are not unique.

At present, Liu Taige, a well-known designer in Qinghe City, a well-known designer from the Star Island Country, came to Qinghe City more than half a year earlier than Markham.

At the beginning, he and Lin Zeng took the same flight to Qinghe City, and he and his grandson Liu Haotian hoped to find a happy urban idyllic life in this city where the citizens of the Sing Tao Country could grow vegetables for all residents.

However, what disappointed him was that the plants he initially purchased sporadically from Xenotropic Greening Company could still take root in the Star Island Country, but in less than a month, none of the plant seeds he continued to purchase could survive in the Star Island Country.

Not a single one.

Even the adult plants that he had his grandson buy at a high price from ordinary urban family growers lost their green leaves, withered and withered flowers seven days after leaving China.

Faced with this situation, Liu Tiger once called Lin Zeng anxiously and asked him if he knew the reason.

Because he had some friendship with Lin Zeng when he was in the Star Island Country, Lin Zeng gave him a very detailed explanation.

All in all, he is not familiar with the quality of the seeds and the region where they are grown, these seeds come from a mysterious space, born from a secret realm, and originally seemed to be able to grow abroad, but now they can't.

Well, only Lin Zeng himself knows that these words are all used to deal with people.

The real reason is the plant locks.

However, no matter how deep his friendship with Liu Taige, an enthusiastic old gentleman, is, it is impossible for him to tell him the truth, sorry, you can't grow these special plants in your own country, because of your narrow regional concept as a breeder, right?

Liu Tiger had no choice but to stay in Qinghe City.

Then, in the past six months, he witnessed the rebirth of this ordinary southern town.
