Chapter 349: The World Tree Exposed
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Li Xing is twenty-four years old this year, and he is a young reporter who has just joined a newspaper in Jiangning City, but at this time, he is dressed in a black suit, and in the middle of the night, he appeared in this wilderness, sneaky, more like a thief.
Soon Li Xing stopped, and a simple wall more than two meters high appeared in front of him, but it was difficult for him, who had been an athlete, to climb over the wall with both hands and his body flexibly.
Even in the dark night, the giant tree four or five miles away was still faintly recognizable, and Li Xing's eyes showed a fiery gaze.
Not long ago, this 50 or 60-meter-high giant tree 6 was revealed, and later a photo was taken and uploaded to the Internet, which caused many onlookers, and later several local media in Viet An City also reported it.
Originally, a tree of fifty or sixty meters high is not unusual, and there are many trees more than a hundred meters high, but this one is not only tall, but also large, its form is upright, majestic as a mountain, the momentum is magnificent, and it almost has the potential to reach the sky, which makes people feel extraordinary at first sight.
What's even stranger is that no one can recognize what tree this is?
From a distance, this giant tree is about 6o meters high, that is, the height of a 2o story building, and the diameter of the thickest part of the trunk may be more than 11 meters, and it takes twenty or thirty people to hug it, and if you count some roots that emerge from the ground, it is even larger.
Moreover, the trunk of this tree is thick at the bottom, and the middle part is slightly thinner, and only at the top 2o meters grows thick branches, the branches stretch out straight to the sides, and the canopy is also very wide, at least five or six acres of area.
The weirdness is not only these, Li Xing has visited the old people who live in this neighborhood in the past few days, and learned that this area used to be a wasteland, at most there were some big trees about ten meters high, and there were absolutely no giant trees fifty or sixty meters high before. I've never heard of it.
Unfortunately, the giant tree is not only surrounded by a wall, but also guarded by a group of people in security uniforms 24 hours a day, prohibiting others from approaching, not even journalists. The attitude is very tough.
Li Xing's request to enter the inside of the wall for an interview during the day was dejected, so he thought about entering the wall at night to think about what kind of "conspiracy" there was to let this group of security guards guard the big tree 24 hours a day, and by the way, get some bark, leaves, and branches and the like. For plant experts to identify, get first-hand information.
But soon Li Xing was tragic, with a dog barking, a bright light shone over, so that he had nothing to hide.
……
When Ye Quan went to inspect the construction progress of the Oriental Group's headquarters research base, he learned that a reporter had broken into the wall at night. Being caught by the security guards who were guarding the World Tree couldn't help but be a little funny.
Before, because the World Tree was planted in a remote place, and it had to be watered every day with bioactive liquid and space spring water, etc., a simple wall was built to enclose it, but when the World Tree grew to a height of more than 5o meters, even the gods could not hide it.
After all, the tree was only twenty miles away from the ABP, and it was only more than ten miles away from a road leading to the city. The World Tree stands like a skyscraper on a plain, and it is easy for some people standing on high to see it and be amazed.
Ye Quan asked people not to get close to the World Tree, but he was worried that the growth of this tree would be too fast in the early stage, which would frighten many people, but now that it was exposed, there was no need to keep it a secret.
Not only did the World Tree in the outside world grow to more than 5o meters, but the one he planted in the spiritual energy space grew faster because of the absorption of spiritual energy, and it was already more than 9o meters tall, and the diameter of the trunk reached 15 meters. The circumference is about 5o meters, which means that it takes nearly thirty or forty people to hug!
Because this giant tree has attracted more and more people's attention, Ye Quan simply asked Taoyuan Biotechnology Company to come forward, claiming that this giant tree is the scientific research result of the company's subordinate office, named "World Tree". It is a completely new tree species characterized by its extremely fast growth length, and in the future it has the potential to grow hundreds of meters tall, replacing the redwood tree as the tallest tree on earth.
Taoyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. mainly focuses on the research and development of biological genes, cloning, biological materials and other technologies, in addition to related crops, but also carries out other plant improvement technologies.
For example, immediately after the Evergreen Forage series, the Biological Solidarity Room is working on a sand-fixing grass, which is more tenacious than Evergreen Forage No. 7 and can adapt to the cruel desert area, which is also a preparation for the future desert development project.
In addition, Taoyuan Biotechnology is also preparing to launch a series of mosquito repellent and mosquito control plants, such as the improved mosquito repellent grass that repells mosquitoes with smell, as well as carnivorous plants such as Venus flytrap, pitcher plant, bottle grass and sundew.
The mosquito repellent effect of mosquito repellent grass depends on the growth situation, it needs to be cultivated with bioactive solution, and the maximum mosquito repellent range is up to 2o meters.
Carnivorous plants such as Venus flytrap and pitcher plant have undergone some improvements, and the effect of killing mosquitoes is also good, and they also have a high ornamental value, which is much better than any other type of mosquito repellent products, especially in terms of safety.
As soon as the news of Taoyuan Biotechnology Company spread, it not only attracted great attention from the global botanical community, but also aroused everyone's curiosity, knowing that the tallest tree on the earth is only 156 meters, and the tree of hundreds of meters is simply unimaginably tall.
If these people knew that the World Tree could not only grow hundreds of meters, but even reach thousands of meters above the world's tallest building, the 828-meter Burj Khalifa, the look on their faces would be very exciting.
Subsequently, biologists and botanists from all over the world came one after another, and even many ordinary people came to see this giant tree, including many tourists from other places who came to Viet An City.
It didn't take long for botanists to come up with their own opinions, judging by the shape of the trunk of the World Tree, the texture of its bark, the shape of its leaves and crown, and other characteristics, unlike any of the existing tree species on Earth.
Most of the tall and large trees on earth are fir and coniferous, but the World Tree is a broad-leaved tree, and each leaf is the size of an adult's palm.
The trunk of the World Tree is hollow and has a number of curved aerial roots, many of which allow one to climb easily.
If you have to say what kind of tree it looks like, the World Tree is more like the home tree where the Na'vi people live in the movie "Avatar".
In fact, Ye Quan also suspects that the scientists who will study the World Tree in the future are simply referring to the giant tree in the movie, but with the function of growing fast and flowering and fruiting.
In short, no one can divide the tree of the world into which order, class and family of tree species.
There are also many people who have asked Taoyuan Biotech to buy World Tree saplings, some for research and some purely for curiosity.
In the face of various doubts and requests from the outside world, Taoyuan Biotechnology Company rarely responded, and the request to buy seedlings was clearly refused, but after arranging some caretakers, people were allowed to approach to watch and take group photos.
When Ye Quan planted this World Tree, he thought about making the World Tree a tourist spot that everyone yearns for in the future, and built some tree houses on the tree for accommodation, dining and sightseeing.
Legend has it that the beautiful and kind elves live on a huge tree of life.
In the movie "Avatar", it is even more fantasizing about a magnificent planet Pandora, and the Na'vi people on this planet of life have always lived in harmony with other species on the planet Pandora, living a simple and natural life, and the home they live in is a towering giant tree.
You know, in a year or two, the height of the World Tree will reach more than 2oo meters, the canopy area will be 20 acres, the maximum diameter of the trunk will be more than 4o meters, and the diameter of some of the most important branches will also be about 1o meters.
