"Bailey. Shak, agriculturist, head of the fattening farm. ”

"Deckley. Bert, the head of logistics at the nursery, manages dozens of logistics staff who can solve anything that comes your way in life. ”

Chen Rui appointed some of the main leaders of the seed project one by one.

Now, Professor Dai would like to ask you to say a few words

March 11th.

Demingji announced the launch of the 'Seed Project' at the National Radio and Television Station on Tortuga Island.

Very little has been revealed, only the name of the 'Seed Project' project, the number of people involved, more than 100 scientists, more than 1,000 farm workers, and other more detailed information about the 'Seed Project' is not known.

In addition to China's CCTV-1 news broadcast, it took more than a minute to report the news, and said that it would send a team of agriculturists, seed scientists, and botanists to join the seed engineering project.

The governments and governments of other countries, the people, said that they did not pay attention, but just reported it in the ordinary news, and then, it was gone, obviously, they did not know what they were missing.

The 'Seed Project' was officially launched.

The project team is divided into four groups, which are to grow seeds, plant seedlings, fattening and dispensing nutrient solutions, and finally logistics.

March 14th.

The first seeds of 1,578 prehistoric plants were sown in nurseries and greenhouses in nurseries.

Scientists are closely watching the seeds.

Four days later, March 17.

The seeds of the first prehistoric plants germinated.

This. Very exciting news for all scientists.

Four more days later, March 20.

Prehistoric plant seeds sprout one after another in nurseries and greenhouses. The tip of the bud drills out the nutrient soil.

Another day later, March 21.

Seeds of 58 plant species have already sprouted.

One more day later, March 22.

The seeds of 73 plant species sprouted.

March 23rd.

The seeds of 98 species of plants sprouted.

March 24th.

The seeds of 124 plant species sprouted.

March 25th.

The seeds of 141 species of plants sprouted

By March 30, the end of March.

The seeds of 171 plant species sprouted.

The germination period of plant seeds is generally 3 to 10 days.

It has been 17 days since the seeds were planted on March 14.

Then the seeds of the remaining more than 1,400 kinds of prehistoric plants, most of which are preserved for a long time. It can't germinate, and there are a few plants that have a long germination period.

March 31.

On the Chinese side there are 15 agricultural, seed. The 15 plant experts are mostly professors from China's major agricultural universities, and two of them are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

April 11th.

Seeds of 171 plant species, increasing to 178, sprouted.

From March 14th to today, April 11th, 28 days. Almost a month.

What should sprout is sprouted. Seeds that have not germinated cannot germinate due to the very long time they have been stored in the Doomsday Seed Bank.

Of the first batch of 1,578 prehistoric seeds, only 178 were able to germinate, with a germination rate of about 11.3%.

Because these 1578 seeds were randomly selected by Chen Rui from the Doomsday Seed Bank.

11.2% is basically a representation of the germination rate of 957251 seeds.

In other words, only 11 of the seeds of the earth's prehistoric plants obtained in the Doomsday Seed Bank germinated on average, and the rest could not germinate due to the long storage time.

April 15th.

The second batch of 27,000 prehistoric seeds was sown in the nursery. in the greenhouse.

A little more than a month later, May 17.

2,771 species of prehistoric seeds germinated.

The germination rate is 10.26%. Less than 11.2% of the first prehistoric seeds have a germination rate value, but very close.

At this time, the first batch of 178 prehistoric plants that successfully sprouted after a month and a half, almost two months of growth, all grew green leaves, and under the careful care of scientists and farm workers, they grew very well and lush.

Depending on the length of the plant's maturity period, plants with a short maturity period have already opened budding buds, or bright flowers.

During the growth of the first 178 plants that successfully germinated.

Undoubtedly, the workload of scientists is very huge, and they are very busy all day long, busy in various simulated natural environments such as nursery fields, woodlands, ponds, and shady slopes, although busy, but also very fulfilling, because they are doing something of great significance to human beings.

Agriculturists are busy fattening plants, killing insects, and fighting bacterial diseases.

Botanists need to observe the morphology, ecological habits of plants, and classify plants.

Because the main goal of scientists is to study the use of these prehistoric plants for the benefit of mankind.

Therefore, the main classification of these prehistoric plants is not based on plant taxonomy in the field of biology.

Instead, these plants are classified according to their use.

For example, food plants that provide humans with a daily intake of protein-rich eggs and starches.

It is a vegetable plant that can be eaten, has a very good taste and has a very high nutritional value.

Can be eaten raw, juicy, fruit plants with a sour or sweet taste.

Seeds, fruits, roots, and bark are used as seasonings to add flavor to food.

Oilseed plants whose fruits or seeds provide cooking oil for human cooking.

Roots and stems can be used to make sugar.

In addition, there are categories of raw plants, ornamental plants, and so on.

In addition, scientists also classify these plants according to their ecological habits, terrestrial plants, aquatic plants, epiphytes, parasitic plants, saprophytes.

According to the adaptation of plants to long day, short day, temperature, rainfall and other environments, they are divided into tropical plants, subtropical plants, temperate plants, and cold plants.

There are also life cycles of plants, annual plants, biennial plants, perennial plants.

What else is light-loving, shade-loving, drought-tolerant, moisture-tolerant, acid-loving soil plants, calcareous soil plants,

Sorting plants is a huge and complex task.

It takes most of the botanists' time and effort.

Scientists have to do these jobs, which are very important and very urgent.

Scientists need to transplant plants with different ecological habits into different environments to adapt to.

For example, according to the adaptation of plants to the natural environment such as long day, short day, temperature, and rainfall, they are divided into tropical plants, subtropical plants, temperate plants, and cold plants. (To be continued......)
