Luke Landau paced back and forth between the living room and the patio courtyard, not even bothering to drink the wine that Nick had brought from the wine library, with a mysterious expression as if he had discovered a great treasure.

The other two followed him at first, but could not see why, until Luke Landau finally stopped, and sat down beside the couch in amazement, before asking him what he had discovered.

"As you know, Huaguo's geographical location is in the southern hemisphere, and since ancient times, houses have been built in the north and facing south, because such a building orientation is conducive to the lighting of the house. However, with the development of urbanization, businessmen who build commercial high-rise residences, in order to obtain higher profits, rarely have complete north-south transparent houses, and most of them are oriented southeast and southwest. But the worst dwellings are those that face completely north. Luke Landau briefly explained to the two friends the relationship between the orientation of the house and the sunlight.

"North-facing dwellings are dark and damp because it is difficult to get direct sunlight in the northern hemisphere. I have studied the traditional architecture of China, and most of the north-facing rooms are used as second-bedroom rooms or for other functions. Luke Landau's explanation was simple, and Aaron Esrich and Nick Dickenson understood it at first.

"The small courtyard where I live now is facing southeast, and in winter, there is more than half a day of light, but the room where Nick lives, because of the design, faces the north, in the harsh winter season, it should be cold and damp, and it is not a good place to live. Chinese people are especially interested in the direction of sunlight in their rooms, and they think that this kind of place where the sun cannot reach all day long is not a good place in their field of Feng Shui. Therefore, this kind of house that faces completely north is sold at a relatively low price in the market. ”

"But I don't feel cold in this room, I feel very comfortable, and the light is very bright," said Alain Esrich, who shook his orange-haired head vigorously with his arms on the back of the soft sofa. ”

"That's what I used to find interesting and weird. Luke Landau said.

"What did you find?" Nick Dickenson doesn't do much research on this. He was the latest of them to come to Qinghe City, and it happened that only this set of small courtyards was idle and suitable for him to live in, so he booked it.

He lived here for a few days, and he did not feel the cold and damp of the so-called north-facing houses here, but from half past seven in the morning until six in the evening, the room was very bright, and there was no need for a light source, and there was no problem in reading and writing.

"I've just researched it, and there is only one place in this room where Nick lives, which is very different from the small city courtyard where we live. As he said this, Luke Landau's finger pointed to the wall of the living room.

"You mean, this little silvery grass. When Alan Esrich heard Luke Landau's words, he stood up and leaned close to the wall of the living room, studying the plants on it.

At a glance, Nick Dickenson's small courtyard in the city seems to be not much different from the place where he lives, and it is all the interior greenery that he has always admired. From the walls, to the ceiling, to the floor, there are vines, flowers, fresh fruits and flowers, which are like being in nature and making people feel comfortable.

So, without Luke Landau's reminder, he would not have discovered that this little silver-white moss-like grass that he was adorning with ornaments had such a function.

This silvery white grass occupies about one-third of the space on the wall, and is deliberately designed as an abstract geometric shape, so that the green-covered wall has a little more artificial elements, but it is not obtrusive.

"I think it should be," Luke Landau poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip, "I've observed that on the outer wall of the room, there is also exactly the same silver grass, and this is the biggest difference between our room and Nick's room. ”

"Wait," Aaron Esrich thought of something, pulling his phone out of his pocket and opening one of the largest mobile phone messaging apps in China, "I asked the designers of this building, and they must know about it." ”

After speaking, the old boy explained triumphantly: "At that time, this group of young designers, when designing the interior greenery of this urban farm, asked my opinion many times, and heck, we are still in contact now. Haha!"

The other two old men did not want to pay attention to him, lest his tail should be lifted to the sky.

Hum!

Aaron Esrich poked his phone for ten minutes, then slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Wow, that's true, this plant is a source of sunlight for city buildings!"

"How?" asked Luke Landau, a designer who had studied architecture all his life, and was obviously very interested in this plant, and couldn't help but put down his wine glass and asked eagerly.

"I just asked Miss Milan from the design team of Xenomorph Greening, and she told me that this special plant is currently only planted in the room with insufficient sunlight in Xenocity Urban Farm, it is called Solar Grass, which can absorb enough natural sunlight and then provide lighting for indoor living. Even on cold days, there is still bright natural light inside. She said that because of the tight opening time, the plant was not well prepared, so the other rooms facing the sun had not yet been planted. However, other rooms will soon be remodeled. ”

The two people present couldn't help but be silent when they heard the properties of this plant.

After reading the indirect information sent to him by Milan, Aaron Esrich suddenly noticed that his two friends had a somewhat gloomy face, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with you?"

"Aaron, this is a plant that was able to shake the earth before. Luke Landau looked at his old friend, sighed, and said in a somewhat heavy tone.

"But I wouldn't be shocked that there are so many strange plants all in one place. Nick Dickenson chewed on his own black pieces of meat, which were said to be the special braised pork made by Chinese chefs, and the taste was unusually delicious, and it was served once a day in the morning in front of a window in the public restaurant, and each time it was only 30 catties, and the demand exceeded the demand every day. Especially with the refreshing and fruity lychee wine, it is extremely enjoyable.

It was for the sake of this piece of meat that he was willing to let these two guys in and drink this time.

"Wonderful plants are loved by everyone, but they can only be grown in China," Luke Landau's face diminished with joy when he learned of the purpose of the sunflower, apparently thinking that this plant could not be moved back to the Commonwealth where he lived, bringing a ray of sunshine to the gloomy and rainy weather of the national capital, "My friends in the intelligence department told me that they have been working to find out the cause of the frequent appearance of exotic plants in China this year, but, most importantly, they want to be able to share this world-changing power." ”
