Chapter 119 Contracting 500,000 Mu and Broadcasting the Program (The Third Request for Support)
Yang Zhou didn't want to reveal that some plants were cancer treatment plants, but instead led to the extinction of these endangered plants.
So he explained again: "Gene plant therapy, which causes the modified plants to be unable to reproduce, is trying to solve this problem, so not the more plant seeds, the better." ”
"Then directly cultivate endangered plants, and transform them every time you need to treat them, and normal plant seeds can use cell cultivation methods, but it is easy to expand production capacity." Secretary Zhou wondered.
Many endangered plants are capable of being propagated on a large scale.
Take ginseng as an example, with current plant technology, it is possible to take only one leaf cell of ginseng and cultivate a plant.
Many extinct plants are not cultivated on a large scale because they do not have much economic value, and they are included in the protected plants, and a little protection is enough.
Of course, Yang Zhou didn't want some people to cultivate the endangered plants he had selected on a large scale and then give them to him for transformation.
When the time comes, if you give him tens of thousands of seeds, will you let him buy tens of thousands of cancer treatment plants from Dave?
Yang Zhou had no choice but to explain: "There is a coincidence in the successful transformation of cancer plants, and there are too many uncertainties in plant technology itself, so I am not sure that when using the same seeds, I will find a way to successfully get a plant that treats cancer again and increase the yield, but don't rush to let some places produce specific plants on a large scale!" ”
Secretary Zhou just frowned and nodded, and Yang Zhou didn't know if he listened or not.
Yang Zhou can't control what other people do, it's a good thing that someone really cultivates endangered plants on a large scale, at least to make endangered plants more numerous.
But in the future, if you want to take the seeds of endangered plants, make money from him, or even exchange them for cancer drugs, don't even think about it.
"Secretary Zhou, what do you say about the desert contracting, I am going to build a plant experiment base here, and the guarantee has 1 billion US dollars invested by Prince Obrera free of charge, which can drive the surrounding economy and transform the desert, it should be no problem, right?" Yang Zhou asked.
"No problem, the boss has already made a decision, you can contract 500,000 mu, you can choose a place, I will run the procedures for you in the next few days." Secretary Zhou said with a smile.
Yang Zhou suddenly smiled: "That's a good feeling, wait for me to find a map." ”
There must be a map at home, and for desert residents, paper maps are a must-have, because there is a high probability that there is no mobile phone signal in the desert, but there is no software such as mobile phone navigation that can be used.
When entering the desert, be sure to bring a detailed map of the dunes of a certain mountain range, as well as a compass, which is the guarantee of survival.
Yang Zhou quickly took a map and spread it on the table, focusing on a few points.
The first is the red sand beach where you are.
However, the red sand beach, which cannot be the center, has other transformed forests next to it, and even an ant forest.
Therefore, it is necessary to enclose land to the east and south, and Yang Zhou wants to enclose a blue lake in the Tengger Desert.
The water in the Blue Lagoon is not directly drinkable, and even the surrounding environment is saline, but water resources are very important to Yang Zhou.
When the desert plant base is built, you can first study the plants that adapt to the saltwater water, and the blue lake will become an oasis!
In fact, there are two areas in the Tengger Desert, including Tengger and Nanjiling, the two areas are collectively referred to as the Tengger Desert, the red sand beach belongs to Tengger, and Nanjiling has more than 400 lakes in the shape of long strips, and all kinds of desert activities have been basically held in Nanjiling in these years.
There are naturally lakes in the Tengger area, and the Blue Lake mentioned by Yang Zhou is one of them, but the lake is relatively small, and it is a pure saline-alkali lake with no development value, which can just become the perfect base for Yang Zhou.
Around the Blue Lagoon and then to the surrounding area, a large sandbar can be turned into an oasis.
The final shape resembles a lollipop, with the Blue Lagoon in the center, each of which expands twenty or thirty miles around it, followed by a narrow desert passage that encloses the red sand beach alone.
After circling the map, Yang Zhou said: "That's it, it's roughly this range." ”
Secretary Zhou took a closer look, frowned, and said: "That side is in the core of the desert, dozens of miles, or even hundreds of miles around it are deserts, and the salt lake is still difficult to develop, I thought you were going to enclose land along the edge of the desert, and if you really want to transform the desert you chose, the difficulty has risen several levels!" ”
"In this way, first build a road from the red sand beach to the Blue Lake, and then develop around the Blue Lake, and the experimental base will be built there, as long as there is money, it is not a big deal for a modern city to appear in the center of the desert." Yang Zhou said with a smile.
Of course, the desert area he chose is not in the center of the desert, the Tengger Desert is 240 kilometers long from north to south, 160 kilometers wide from east to west, and Yang Zhou can go deep into an area of about 40 kilometers at most.
"Okay, then I'll go to the city to run the procedures first, let the people of your company follow, the contract period is up to 30 years in ordinary places, but the desert is more special, the longest can be 70-100 years, and it will be under the name of your company." Secretary Zhou said.
"Okay, then I'll tell someone to fly to the city to meet you." Yang Zhou agreed.
The degree of freedom in contracting deserts is very high, such as Zhang Yinlong's Maosu Sandy Land, and even real estate can be engaged in after contracting.
But who will build a house in the desert, and who will sell it to?
Therefore, most of the people who contract the desert contract along the desert perimeter, and then use modern technology facilities to transform it into a solar power base, or a grape plantation, and so on.
What really contracts the desert and simply plants trees is like an ant forest.
Zhang Yinlong's development model is also very good, you can first change the sand to the ground, and then after the water and soil are suitable, you can plant wheat, various berries and oil-extracting trees, and even cultivate fungal cash crops and so on.
Yang Zhou's idea was to build an experimental base along the Blue Lake first, and then slowly transform the Blue Lake with plants, so that the saline-alkali lake would gradually return to normal, and then slowly expand to the surrounding areas.
As for the successful transformation, it is feasible to build some houses in the forest and scenic spots, and it is not yet time to think about this.
After sending off Secretary Zhou and informing Lu Yuyao from the capital to come to the northwest on a business trip, Yang Zhou began to accompany his family.
In the evening, Aubrera and his party plus the people brought back by Yang Zhou exceeded 100 people.
So many people had a party in the desert.
Because today's TV station broadcast a program on Yang Zhou's research on cancer plants, Aubrela's RV was connected to satellite TV in the wild, ready for everyone to watch together.
And there are technical experts among the people brought by Obrera, and the projection equipment in the RV is removed and put outside, so that everyone can watch TV shows just like watching movies.
In fact, there are many people now, and Yang Zhou basically has no way to keep his whereabouts secret, and it is estimated that a reporter will chase him tomorrow.
But it doesn't matter, now everyone's attention is on the projection screen.
Only then did many construction workers know that they were going to build a house for Yang Zhou, and now even ordinary people in small cities know Yang Zhou's name.
This is a great scientist who has developed a mutated giant rice and is suspected of overcoming cancer!
The scene was orderly, and Yang Zhou's bodyguards dutifully blocked the others, allowing Yang Zhou and his family to sit in front of the bonfire and watch the show on the curtain in the distance.
Both speakers used to play music, and now they are connected to TV audio.
Everyone looked at the screen expectantly, and before the show was broadcast, everyone spontaneously offered warm applause!
Recommendation tickets, monthly passes, reward portals, and a chapter during the day.
