The night before going to the Flower Market, Yu Siming didn't sleep well and woke up before 6 o'clock in the morning.

He went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water, exhaling a heavy breath.

After returning from abroad, jet lag, coupled with the physical problems of the parents, it is the norm to rest badly every day, and now the parents' illness is not easy to recover, and the career is in crisis, how can the mental pressure not be great.

Not only the mental pressure, but also the economic pressure is gradually becoming prominent.

After Yu Siming returned to China, he bought a set of residential areas with convenient transportation and good property services in the city center, and the original old house was no longer suitable for his parents to live in, and there were certain safety hazards.

Coupled with the cost of hospitalization and nurses for two elderly people, the savings over the years have been stretched.

Yu Siming looked at the indifferent and depressed face in the mirror, picked up the razor and began to shave.

He is not used to using domestic social software, but two days ago, he logged on to the official website of Guinness World Records to find relevant information.

Indeed, as Dr. Hou said, the Guinness Book of Records for the largest diameter of the royal lotus was broken by the Flower Collection, not long ago in October.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

The news has been going back to him ever since.

Yu Siming took a deep breath, as Dr. Hou said, he should go and see.

Let's see what this private botanical garden has the ability to defeat the botanical gardens that cultivate Wang Lian all over the world, and defeat the new varieties that shocked the world.

Just thinking about it, there was a knock on the door from Sister-in-law Wang: "Mr. Yu, have you already gotten up?" ”

Yu Siming finished cleaning up and opened the door: "I have something to go out today." You take good care of your parents at home, pay attention to nutrition for breakfast, and remember to stew the bird's nest you bought yesterday. ”

Sister-in-law Wang: "Hey, okay. ”

Sister-in-law Wang looked at his face: "I made seafood porridge, do you want to serve you a bowl?" ”

Yu Siming thought that going to the flower market today was a big deal, so he said, "Well, let's go to Sheng." ”

Sister-in-law Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The treatment of the main family is good, but Mr. Yu's face is really scary, as if he owes him a lot of money every day, which makes people feel stunned.

But today seems to be a little better than before.

……

When Yu Siming drove to the gate of the Flower Market, the garden had not yet opened.

In winter, the daylight comes late, and the surroundings only begin to brighten up around 8 o'clock, and the cold winds that blow from time to time carry a touch of decay.

With the advent of winter, the opening time of the flower garden has also been adjusted accordingly.

The opening time of the park is adjusted to: 8:30-17:30, and the opening of the park will be delayed by half an hour on the original basis.

At the same time, because the short-lived spectacle has passed, the tickets for the Epiphany Night Tour have been cancelled, and the Flower Fair is closed at night, and only the daytime session is open.

Just on January 1st, the price of tickets increased, the number of visitors decreased to a certain extent, the opening hours were in line with the number of visitors, and the staff was able to rest in the evening when it was getting dark.

When the garden opened at 8:30, Yu Siming and other visitors entered the botanical garden through Exit 2.

The small number of tourists at this time allowed him to see the surroundings and the building in its entirety.

Like other first-time visitors, Yu Siming was greeted by the hemispherical grandeur of the buildings not far away, and the lush foliage of tropical plants peeking out from the translucent glass curtain walls.

Tropical plants?

Be... Exhibition greenhouse?

And the area is not small.

The surrounding crowd walked inside, but Yu Siming stood in place, looking straight at the huge buildings crisscrossed by silver steel structures.

Perhaps other visitors don't know that people like them, who work at the Institute of Botanical Studies, know best how much it costs to build an exhibition greenhouse.

The construction alone costs tens of millions of dollars, and it does not include the plants and various landscaping inside.

Yu Siming has seen many private botanical gardens and horticultural areas abroad.

They are very beautifully built, with a large number of flowers, large areas planted in flower beds, bright and varied colors, both in shape and design, and even hired a well-known gardener to take care of them.

However, it is mostly for ornamentation, and all the costs add up to less than the cost of the exhibition greenhouse in front of you.

It should be said that it is far from it.

Flower Sets are indeed not your average private botanical garden.

At least from the point of view of building an exhibition greenhouse, the person in charge behind it has good strength and is willing to spend money.

Yu Siming walked into the exhibition greenhouse, and the soft breeze gently blew, bringing spring-like warmth and dispelling the cold outside, as if entering the season of recovery of all things.

He took off his coat and put it on his elbow, smelling the freshness of the grass and the drizzle-like wetness, and even his tense nerves relaxed a little.

Very comfortable.

Over here... It's very different from other exhibition greenhouses.

Yu Siming took a deep breath in the fragrance of the grass and trees, and instead of immediately admiring the scenery and plants inside, he looked up at the dome and the surrounding equipment.

After the completion of the exhibition greenhouse, it was mostly closed and became an ecosystem of its own.

Maintaining a constant temperature depends on the heaters and exhaust systems suspended from the glass ceiling, about 6-8 of them, placed at different angles, with the air outlets facing the interior, similar to the principle of air conditioning, which will bring a dry and stuffy feeling over time.

The constant humidity is the result of the action of the spray system, like a humidifier in the office in winter, which has a limited effect and only creates the conditions needed for the plant to grow.

In order to create a paradise for tropical plants, the exhibition greenhouse is equipped with an air supply and exhaust system, a heating system, a circulating air system, a spray system... As well as wind speed sensors, light sensors, temperature sensors and other high-tech intelligent control equipment.

But no matter how perfect the equipment is, it can't compare to the softness and comfort of the natural wind.

Staying in an exhibition greenhouse for a long time is like staying in an air-conditioned room in winter for a long time, feeling bored and wanting to go out to breathe.

However, the environment here is completely different.

Yu Siming can clearly feel the warmth and softness of the spring breeze, infinitely close to the natural state.

The comfortable temperature is quietly seeping into the body, and the freshness of the plants and trees is infused into the nose and heart and lungs, which makes people feel refreshed.

The eyebrows and eyes, which were originally slightly gloomy, were slowly soothed in such a relaxing environment.

He didn't know how Flower House created this exhibition greenhouse, but he knew that the environment here was extremely comfortable.

— Whatever is right

Plants are still humans.

Yu Siming had to admit that he had just come in, and he had not even had time to explore the plants in the exhibition greenhouse, and his heart had already changed his view of the flower collection to a certain extent.

Of course, the most important thing is the plants.

He walked over to the water lily pond, where the hardy water lilies were blooming.

The dozens of trees that opened some time ago are close to decay, but the remaining 100 or so are in full bloom one after another, and the number is so large that the entire pool shows a color of gold and orange.

The round green leaves gently sway with the water waves, hundreds of water lilies compete to open, the stars are like water lights, like the water lily pond depicted in oil paintings, the color is plump, the composition is exquisite, and the reflection on the water surface is fine and clear.

Yu Siming stepped forward and approached to carefully identify their species.

The petals are not elongated, and the blooming amplitude and color are different from those of ordinary water lilies, and the large flower type has 20-30 petals, and the shape is like a goblet full of petals......

He searched through his memory brain, only to find that he couldn't even name it.

It was the first time Yu Siming had encountered this situation, and he was stunned for a moment before reacting.

This should be a new variety of water lily.

He looked at the introduction board, and sure enough, it was a new product that was registered in September - cold-resistant water lily 'Canjin', which was rated as "excellent" in the water lily competition.

Top.

This grade is high.

The water lily is evaluated as a world nature, and there are very few water lilies that are rated as excellent every year, not to mention such a rare flower color and shape, I am afraid that it is the only existence in China.

How could such a precious species be given to a private botanical garden?

Even though there has been an improvement, Yu Siming still subconsciously feels that Huajianji's qualifications are not enough.

In particular, there is another national 4A-level botanical garden in W City.

But he soon realized why.

Although the hardy water lily survives the winter perfectly, it blooms at a similar time to the tropical water lily, usually blooming in June-August.

But now, it's only early January, and these water lilies are already blooming.

It is still a new variety that has just been bred in September.

The new variety is the most difficult to cultivate, with great instability and uncertainty, but the flower set was cultivated for less than 3 months, and the more than 100 water lilies were all in full bloom when there was still half a year before the flowering period.

This......

Yu Siming's face was not obvious, but his heart was shaken.

Ask yourself, even the research team he leads is difficult to do.

It's just too difficult.

A good growth environment, cultivation base, own state, cultivation technology, etc. are indispensable, and perhaps the technical means of flowering should be used.

However, he turned his gaze to these water lilies, and saw that they were all beautifully shaped, with round, full-bodied, layered petals, blooming at the most elegant angles; Even the round lotus leaf edge is not a little missing or yellow, which can be called the most perfect

Attitude.

With the clear water and clear waves of the pond, it is as beautiful as a painting.

Yu Siming walked around the water lily pond and found that every one of them was the same, and no flaw could be found in any water lily alone.

He straightened up, his gaze still fixed on the water lily, but his thoughts drifted away.

He found himself completely mistaken.

Why put new varieties

Leave it to this private botanical garden?

The reason is simple.

Because no other botanical garden could have cultivated it better than the Flower Collection.

It is not that the research institute gave the new variety to the flower set, but the flower set made the new variety show its best state and the most perfect side.

Some tourists came to take pictures and were amazed by the water lilies in full bloom in the pond, and the tourists behind also rushed to the pond one after another, and after a while, the water around the pond was flooded.

Even if the price of admission increases, most tourists will still come for this unique view.

*

Yu Siming automatically retreated outside the water lily pond, settled down, and went to the orchid area not far away.

For him, his main research direction makes it easier to see the state of plants.

However, he couldn't hide his surprise when he saw that almost all of the orchids that 'grow' along the stump were precious varieties that were rarely seen in ordinary times.

Long-distance comet orchid, large comet orchid, ivory comet orchid... Feiyun Orchid, Black Beauty Orchid, Orchid with leaves (national second-class protected plants......

There are also several new varieties that I don't recognize.

Yu Siming looked at the introduction board - Central African comet orchid, and developed a new variety in September.

Dream Orchid, Angel Orchid, the new result of hybridization, this is the first time that it has appeared in front of the public.

As a doctor who specializes in Ranko, I actually opened my eyes here.

Although there are not many species of orchids in the flower collection, all of them are rare and beautiful, and few botanical gardens can cover all the species.

Darwinland, in particular, although he has done a lot of relevant research, but it is only theoretical, and he has only actually seen it once.

He clearly remembers that it was at the International Orchid Exhibition a year ago.

At that time, Darwinland, as the star of the orchid world, was placed in the middle of the exhibition hall, guarded by two security guards, one left and one right, and the security equipment was strict, and it was put away after only one week of display.

I didn't expect to see you here again.

Rao is Yu Siming has always been calm, and he can't help but feel fluctuating, putting the coat on his elbow to the side, and leaning forward with his upper body, just to be able to better observe this precious orchid.

Darwin orchid is known for its long flower spacing, and this one in front of you, perhaps because of its abundant nutrition, has a star-shaped orchid in the center of its wide leaves, with the longest flower spacing being at least 25 cm, which is very rare today.

The last time Yu Siming saw it at the International Orchid Exhibition was about this length, but that pot of Darwin orchid had been cultivated for many years before it could be seen by the public.

Ye Han's strain has only reached half a month, and it can't wait to open as soon as it blooms, and it has opened more than one flower.

Yu Siming carefully observed its long flower spacing, and under the illumination of the light, he could faintly see a tiny pollen shadow at the bottom 3 centimeters, which meant that the pollinating insects had to go deeper than 20 centimeters inside to achieve their purpose.

When Charles Darwin saw the orchid, he predicted that on the island of Madagascar, an insect with an extra-long beak would match it.

It was later confirmed that there was indeed such a moth, which was named the 'Prophecy Beak Moth'.

Prophecy refers to Darwin's prophecy.

It is large, resembling a hummingbird, and has a long beak that is only there

It only unfolds when you suck nectar, and it curls up immediately after sucking? ()? [()] "Come and see the ♀ latest chapter ♀ in its entirety" (), which became a small volume, so it was not discovered for a long time.

After the discovery, it provided the basis for the theory of evolution.

Unfortunately, such evolution does not necessarily lead to the continuation of species.

It is this characteristic that determines that Darwinland can only be pollinated by this long-beaked moth, which is now extinct (and perhaps a few, but not yet discovered).

Without insect pollination, Darwinland is endangered, wild ones are almost invisible, and artificial pollination is just as difficult, with a very low survival rate, and its preciousness is self-evident.

Looking at this rare long-distance comet orchid, Yu Siming's mood was difficult to calm down.

If he can join the flower collection, it means that he can study this orchid up close, and maybe he can overcome the problem of artificial pollination, so that this endangered plant gene can be continued-

At that time, it will be of great significance for the protection of wild plants and the breakthrough of scientific research achievements!

Yu Siming now has a world of difference from what he thought when he first came.

The private botanical garden, which was originally unacceptable, has become the research institute he expects the most, and his mind is full of what will happen after he joins the company.

And this change has only been less than half an hour since he entered the park.

*

Dr. Hou was not surprised to receive a call from Yu Siming, and it was this time......

He looked at his phone, and it was only 9 o'clock.

The flower set has just opened for half an hour, is it too fast?

As soon as Dr. Hou answered the phone, the other party's voice came along the mobile phone: "Old Hou, please send me the contact information of the principal." ”

Dr. Hou let out an 'oh' and said with a smile, "You went to the Flower Fair?" How do you feel? ”

Yu Siming only replied with four words: "It's beyond imagination." ”

He was going to go straight back from the orchid area, but he saw another water lily pond not far away, which actually bloomed with extremely rare two-color water lilies!

It's just that what he doesn't know is that the first flower before has failed, and this is the second flower that has just bloomed recently.

But even so, such a result was enough to shake Yu Siming's heart.

Wan Vesha, the world champion of water lilies, was also introduced by the Flower Collection, and cultivated a two-color lotus with a probability of 1 in 50,000.

However, this variation is uncontrollable, and the factors that produce bicolor are still in the ambiguous stage.

It is also a scientific research project of great significance.

The probability of the appearance of bicolor water lilies is too low, and the relevant samples are not how to be studied, but here, he can carry out experiments to his heart's content, and strive to achieve great scientific research goals.

For Yu Siming, after just half an hour, Huajian has been promoted to the TOP1 he most wants to join.

As long as the salary is acceptable and the basic equipment of the laboratory is complete, he will be able to join the company immediately.

Dr. Hou didn't expect him to speak so highly of the Flower Collection.

In my impression, this scientific research genius of the same major rarely shows obvious favor, and he has never had such praise for the foreign research institute that hired him with a high salary.

That's fine.

Whether it is Director Ye or Yu Siming, they can get what they want.

......

Yu Siming got the contact information.

() On the other side of the phone was an extremely young female voice, and if it weren't for Dr. Hou's reminder, it would have been hard for him to believe that the other party was the director of the Flower Garden.

Ye Han also saw the message from Dr. Hou.

She smiled slightly, it seems that this time the talent has fallen, and she will thank the other party at that time.

The two agreed to meet outside the newly built Science Research Center in half an hour.

Ye Han wore a light gray cashmere coat that reached to his calves, a light-colored slim base shirt, a pair of white boots on his feet, and his long silky hair was draped over his chest, making him look taller and more beautiful.

When Yu Siming saw the young and beautiful girl in front of him, he thought that he had recognized the wrong person.

Too young.

It's simply unimaginably young.

It is such a girl in her early 20s who built a high-cost exhibition greenhouse, introduced precious plants that are rarely seen in ordinary times, and developed the private botanical garden of Huajian into what it is today?!

Ye Han smiled and said, "Is it Dr. Yu?" ”

Yu Siming quickly came back to his senses: "Yes, I am." ”

Ye Han said generously: "Hello, I am Ye Han, the director of Huajian Ji." ”

It's really her!

Yu Siming buried this surprise in his heart and did not reveal anything.

He originally thought that he had outstanding achievements in scientific research, but when he saw the other party, he realized what it means to be a person outside the human world.

Ye Han invited him into the sealed area: "I probably heard Dr. Hou say that I will take you to visit the laboratory downstairs first, and then we will talk in detail." ”

Yu Siming: "Okay. ”

Detached from what happened just now, he looked at this popular science research hall.

The area is very large, no less than the national science museum, the preface hall and the main hall on the first floor are decorated with atmospheric decoration, the floor light can be seen, and the color tone is mainly pure white and light gray, which is full of style.

The walls and partitions were very designed, but he only glanced twice before entering the elevator on the side.

The elevator is fast and weightless, as if you have just entered the building.

As the elevator door opened, Yu Siming's pupils constricted for a moment.

He unconsciously stepped forward, because he saw a more complete and high-end laboratory than he had imagined!!
