Chapter 209 235 Chapter [-] Desert Light Series Plants
Jiang Fan's expression became serious and he said loudly: "This is an order, not a discussion with you. I will instruct the guards not to let you in if you don't wear a constant temperature suit."

"Don't even think about taking off your thermostatic suit when you enter the laboratory. I have plenty of ways to monitor you."

All laboratories have seamless monitoring, which is stored in the computer room of the experimental building and can be accessed at any time.

Jiao Guoyun took a step back and said with a bitter look on his face: "Boss, I know what to do. I will wear a constant temperature suit when entering the laboratory in the future."

Jiang Fan nodded with satisfaction. Sometimes being tougher would be much more efficient.

"Tell me about your research results!" He did not forget the purpose of coming to the biological laboratory.

When he mentioned this, Jiao Guoyun suddenly became excited.

He led Jiang Fan to an experimental group in the experimental area, and explained to Jiang Fan: "Boss, I extracted high-quality genes from pineapples and Haloxylon ammodendron trees, combined them with each other, and transformed a gene that can I temporarily named the plant that extracts water from the air Desert Light No. 1."

"The main body of Desert Light 1 is the Haloxylon ammodendron tree."

"Hyoxylon ammodendron is a shrub or small tree of the genus Haloxylon ammodendron in the Amaranthaceae family. The bark is gray-white and the wood is brittle. The old branches are gray-brown or light yellow-brown, often with annular cracks. The current-year branches are thin, rising or bending. Leaves are scale-like, broadly triangular, slightly spreading, with blunt apex and no awn tip; bracts are navicular, almost as long as the perianth, with membranous edges, the tepals are oblong and have a blunt apex, and the upper part of the tepal wings is slightly The inside is curved and the fruit is held; the cells are yellowish brown and the seeds are black; the flowering period is from May to July, and the fruiting period is from September to October.

Haloxylon ammodendron is distributed in northwest China, the grasslands of northern China, and also in Central Asia and Siberia. The reproduction method of Haloxylon ammodendron is seed propagation.

Haloxylon ammodendron loves light, is intolerant of shade, has strong adaptability, grows rapidly, has dense branches and a well-developed root system.

Haloxylon ammodendron is cold-resistant, drought-resistant, salt-alkali resistant, and wind-sand resistant. It can not only curb land desertification, improve soil, and restore vegetation, but also protect the surrounding desertified grasslands. It plays an incomparable role in maintaining ecological balance and is unparalleled by other tree species. Important sand-fixing plant in temperate deserts.

The roots of Haloxylon ammodendron are parasitized by the traditional rare and valuable tonic Chinese medicinal material Cistanche deserticola, which has high medical value and is known as "Desert Ginseng".

The material of Haloxylon ammodendron is heavy and brittle, with strong burning power and low smoke. It is known as "sand coal" and is a high-quality fuel in Haloxylon ammodendron producing areas.

"

"I extracted the genes of Tillandsia and integrated them into the Haloxylon ammodendron tree, so that the leaves of the Haloxylon ammodendron tree have the ability to absorb water vapor."

"Desert Light 1 can now absorb water vapor from air with a humidity of 8%."

"Normally, the humidity of the air in the desert is 5%-15%. Although it has not reached the lowest 5%, it is almost there. And compared to the pineapple, the Haloxylon ammodendron tree can also absorb water through its roots."

"So even if the desert air humidity occasionally drops below 8%, Desert 1 can still survive."

"But it is a pity that after Desert Light 1 underwent such transformation, some problems occurred and it no longer bears fruit."

"But don't worry, we can plant it artificially through cuttings."

Jiang Fan thought for a moment and then ordered: "It can be promoted, but I hope you will continue to study it in the future so that Desert Light 1 can bear fruit. This is the main reproduction method of trees in nature."

"Allowing Desert Light 1 to reproduce on its own can reduce labor investment."

"There is no problem in investing a lot of manpower and material resources in the early stage to transform the desert, but I don't want the desert forest to need a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain it in a few years."

Jiao Guoyun was stunned for a moment, and then readily agreed: "Boss, I know, I will continue to improve in the future."

The reason why Desert Light 1 cannot produce results is actually the result of his lax experiments. In his eyes, as long as Desert Light 1 retains the ability to withstand cold, drought, salt and sand, and also has the ability to absorb air The ability of water vapor will eventually allow Desert Light 1 to grow normally, and there will be no genetic collapse that will lead to the death of Desert Light 1.

As for the disorder in the reproductive system caused by this, he didn't care at all.

The main function of Desert Light 1 is to transform the desert. Whether it can reproduce normally is not within the scope of his consideration.

Now that Jiang Fan mentioned it, he also knew his mistake. Plants that cannot reproduce independently require long-term human intervention, which is indeed not possible.

Jiang Fan nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Is there only Desert Light 1?"

"Are there no other plants?"

Desert Light No. 1 is made of trees. It stands to reason that no matter how simple a forest structure is, there must be grass!
Without enough grass, there is no way to lock in water!

"Yes, boss, come with me."

Jiao Guoyun took the initiative to lead the way to another experimental group and said: "Boss, I extracted high-quality genes from pineapple and sea buckthorn trees, combined them with each other, and transformed a plant that can extract water from the air. I temporarily named it Desert Zhiguang 2.”

"The main body of Desert Light 2 is the Haloxylon ammodendron tree, which is a shrub. Desert Light 1 is a tree, which just fills the space vacated by Desert Light 1."

"Sea buckthorn is the fruit of a deciduous shrub belonging to the Elaeaceae family.

1-2.5 meters high, with many thorns, thick, terminal or lateral; young branches are brown-green, old branches are gray-black and rough; buds are large, golden yellow or rusty in color.

Flowers open before leaves, dioecious.The flowering period is from April to May, and the fruit maturity period is from September to October.

Seabuckthorn is distributed in North China, northwest, southwest and other places in China. It often grows on sunny mountain crests, valleys, dry riverbeds or hillsides in temperate areas with an altitude of 800-3600 meters, on gravelly or sandy soil or loess.

Its characteristics are drought and sand resistance, and it can survive on saline-alkaline land, so it is widely used for soil and water conservation; sea buckthorn is planted in large quantities in northwest China for desert greening.

Seabuckthorn has a long history of medicinal use in China. It is said that Genghis Khan led his troops on an expedition. Due to the environmental conditions at that time, he ordered the sick and injured horses to be thrown into the seabuckthorn forest. When he passed by this place again, he found that the abandoned horses were not dead. From then on, Genghis Khan regarded Sea buckthorn is a panacea given by the "Immortality God", who named it "appetizer, spleen and longevity fruit" and "holy fruit".

The roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds of sea buckthorn can all be used as medicine. In particular, its fruits are rich in nutrients and bioactive substances, and have high vitamin content. They are known as the "King of Vitamin C".

Modern medical research shows that sea buckthorn has the effects of relieving fatigue, enhancing memory, anti-aging, strengthening physical fitness, improving immunity, and softening cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. "

Speaking of this, Jiao Guoyun was very proud.

He said with a smile on his face: "Boss, this Desert Light 2 can be used as a cash crop. It can transform the desert environment and make money by selling it."

Jiang Fan shook his head and struck: "The desert is so big, it is unrealistic to use sea buckthorn as a cash crop alone."

"Besides, sea buckthorn is a medicinal cash crop, so there is an upper limit."

"It's not as high a demand as fruits and vegetables."

The easiest way to make money among cash crops is fruits. In the past, people ate fruits only occasionally. Now, fruits are cheaper and more delicious than before. People have developed the habit of eating fruits every day.What restricts the sales of fruits is the people's money bags. As long as the money bags are sufficient, people still like to eat fruits. After all, eating fruits is much healthier than drinking drinks.

Jiao Guoyun's expression darkened. There are also cold-resistant fruits, such as grapes, but the drought tolerance of grapes is different from that of Desert Light. Grapes consume water after all. Unlike Desert Light, which can absorb moisture from the air, it is very important for transforming the desert environment. , it’s really not possible to grow grapes.

He also thought about transforming grapes into Desert Light series plants.

It's just that the transformation failed, and vines require supports and are not suitable for transforming desert environments.

Jiao Guoyun suddenly had an idea and thought of the super Qingti body fluid that he drank every day in the company. His eyes flashed and he looked at the boss expectantly and said: "Boss, how about you use Desert Light No. 2 as the material to invent A health product.”

“Sea buckthorn has the effects of relieving fatigue, enhancing memory, anti-aging, strengthening physical fitness, improving immunity, and softening cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.”

"These effects are still very suitable for making into health products."

Jiang Fan thought about it seriously and realized that based on the effects of sea buckthorn, he could indeed invent a health care product. However, now there is a super green body fluid. He also plans to vigorously promote the super green body fluid in the future, so the sea buckthorn health product will not matter. After research, it is not easy to promote it vigorously.

After all, in addition to softening cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, sea buckthorn has other functions.

After pondering for a while, he finally thought of a way, which was to combine sea buckthorn and super green tea to launch a super green tea body fluid with other effects.

Well, this method is good, and many businesses are using this method.

Then he agreed: "I have thought of a way. I will ask Gong Mingyong to let Tianmeng Pharmaceutical conduct research."

"You don't have to worry about how to make the desert productive. You will think about it later. Now you only need to think about how to transform desertification."

Jiao Guoyun nodded and stopped worrying about cash crops. As the boss said, now is not the time to consider this. Cash crops can be considered after the desert turns into an oasis.

He brought Jiang Fan to another experimental group and introduced: "Boss, I extracted high-quality genes from pineapples and camel thorns, combined them with each other, and transformed a plant that can extract water from the air. I temporarily named it Desert Plant." Light No. 3.”

"Camel's thorn is a semi-shrub herbaceous plant of the Fabaceae family.

Its stems are upright, with fine stripes, hairless or pubescent on young stems, branching from the base; the branches rise parallel; the leaves are alternate, oval, obovate or obovate in shape, with a rounded top and short hard stems. Pointed, root wedge-shaped, entire edge, hairless, with short stalk; racemes axillary, hairless, flowers on thorns, calyx bell-shaped, pubescent, calyx teeth triangular or subulate-triangular, corolla dark purple Red, the flag petal is oblong-ovate, the top is obtuse or truncated, the base is wedge-shaped, with a short handle, and the wing petals are oblong; the fruit is linear and curved in shape.

The flowering period of Camel Thorn is from June to July, and the fruiting period is from August to October.

It is named because it is the only forage that camels can eat in the Gobi Desert and desert.

Camel thorns are mainly distributed in northwest China, northern grasslands and other places, and are also found in parts of Central Asia.

It likes light, is strong and resistant to cold, drought and poor soil. It likes desert areas or places with good ventilation and drainage.

Camel thorn mainly reproduces asexually through seeds and roots.

It is recorded in "Herbal Medicine" that the medicinal parts of camel thorn include the sugar secretions of the leaves, flowers and seeds.

The taste and function are sweet, sour, warm in nature, and can astringent intestines, relieve diarrhea, and relieve pain.Mainly used to treat dysentery, diarrhea, and abdominal distension and pain.

The feeding value of camel thorns is high. Camels like to eat it all year round, especially after frost; cattle like to eat fresh grass in spring; goats and sheep like to eat it after it turns green, bears fruit in autumn, and turns yellow in winter.

Camel thorns also play a very important role in protecting the land from sand erosion. "

"Boss, camel thorn is a kind of grass and is relatively drought-resistant. In order to ensure the nutritional value of camel thorn, I have lightly modified the camel thorn."

"Desert Light 3's ability to absorb air moisture is weak, and it must have a humidity of 50% to absorb moisture in the air."

"Fortunately, the camel thorn itself has a very developed root system, so it can usually rely on the roots to absorb water to maintain its survival."

"It exists only to further improve the environment and is not a crop specifically used to transform deserts."

"When it rains in the desert or the air is humid, camel thorns can grow quickly and consolidate part of the desert water."

"Also provides food for desert animals."

“My plan is to start planting Desert Light 1 in small quantities after Desert Light 2 and Desert Light 3 have survived and the environment has improved to a certain extent.”

"Then gradually increase the planting volume of Desert Light 3 according to the environment."

When Jiang Fan heard this, he nodded with satisfaction. The trees, shrubs, and grass were all there, and the desert transformation plan could be implemented.

"Please sort out the information on the Desert Light series of plants. I will start the desert transformation plan in a few days."

"In addition, your research should not stop. Continue your research and strive to develop more plants that can transform the desert environment."

Jiao Guoyun smiled and responded: "Boss, turning the desert into an oasis and making the country a better place is also my dream, and I will continue to work hard."

Jiang Fan looked at the three groups of successful plants again and said, "I will give you a project bonus."

People who chase their dreams and make the country a better place are worthy of admiration, but he will not let such people feel cold.

So dreams must be realized and money must be earned.

Jiao Guoyun shook his head and sighed: "Boss, I don't care about money or anything. I just want to see the desert turn into an oasis as soon as possible."

"You should also take the money. You deserve it. Pangu Xinhuo has always been generous to employees. Every R&D staff will receive a bonus after completing the project."

"As for the desert turning into an oasis, you can definitely see it." Jiang Fan said confidently.

With suitable modified plants and enough funds, it has become possible to transform deserts.

When Jiao Guoyun heard that it was the norm for Pangu Xinhuo to give project bonuses, he did not refuse. After all, he didn't care about money, but his family needed it.

"Boss, can I ask, what is your desert transformation plan?"
