Chapter 53 More Information
Chen Lin looked through the various introductions in the illustrated book and noticed that in just two weeks, the illustrated book had completed the identification of 147 types of trees, and other vegetation types had also been identified. There are more than 150 species.
Trees are the most detailed classification among vegetation, followed by grass, shrubs, vines, etc.
The reason why trees are so valued is because they are widely used in various types of buildings. When the outpost was first established, countless trees were cut down in the cleared area.
Later, the first thing Chen Lin knew was that these cut trees were used as external walls.
However, as the planning of the outpost gradually expanded, especially after the construction of the 1,000 square kilometers plan, these initial walls gradually lost their original role.
Of the raw materials transported by train to the Hongshan base every day, logs initially accounted for more than 80%.
After the mining started, part of the transported logs was replaced by minerals.
The proportion that can be transported back still maintains about 40%.
No way, at this stage in the country, the logging of natural forests has completely stopped, but the rigid demand for wood is still growing, which leads to a problem - there is simply not enough wood!
After the portal was initially opened and the exploration team determined that the opposite side was a primeval forest environment, many people in the Hongshan Base did not realize what a huge wealth this was.
These trees from another world have natural advantages. They are extremely numerous, and there is no need to consider the various restrictions on tree felling at home and abroad!
In addition, the quality of the trees themselves is really excellent, far exceeding most of the fir trees currently used in large quantities... It would be a naked waste not to seize this opportunity that God has given us!
So after the railway was officially built, a large number of felled logs began to be continuously transported back to the Hongshan Base, and then transferred to all parts of the country by the base and the association.
The association and the base also relied on the continuous shipment of log resources to obtain a small part of the return funds.
This part of the return capital was discovered earlier than the mineral resources, which can be said to be the real first pot of gold.
After all, although the association is wealthy and has invested billions or tens of billions, it seems that the money will never be spent, but the money is actually taxes collected from various places.
Always invest in a certain project like a bottomless pit, and the delay in seeing any return will always undermine its subsequent confidence.
Even the portal to another world is the same.
Scientific research projects have been ongoing, but most of these projects are long-term goals. It may take as little as a few months and half a year, as many as a few years or even more than ten years to see actual results... In comparison Generally speaking, the simple and crude sale of mineral resources or the sale of timber resources is always more enjoyable.
After all, apart from the cost of mining, these things have almost no additional costs. It can be called a blessing of nature.
Chen Lin came back to his senses and continued to look at the bottom of the illustrated book.
He quickly found the content that he was more interested in - the introduction to the classification of alien fruits.
The illustrated book lists the relevant categories of fruits separately. After Chen Lin clicked on it, his attention was immediately attracted by all kinds of strange-shaped fruits.
The fruit still has no name, only code names and the like.
There are long strip-shaped fruits on the top, and fruits similar to thorn melons begin to appear below. The fruits explode like alien tentacles, and the outer skin looks like dragon scales...
Pure purple Various solid-colored fruits such as , pure blue, pure green, etc. also appeared on the scene. Chen Lin was really dazzled by the sight.
Most of these fruits have not been tested to see if they are edible. It can be seen that researchers in the other world are rushing to test them at this time.
Chen Lin scrolled down the webpage and noticed that there were five more fruit analysis reports in the updated illustrated book.
He clicked it and took a look and found that researchers had tested whether five fruits were edible today.
Except for one of the silver-white fruits that looks like a water drop, the remaining four code-named fruits are all edible, and the researchers also gave comments on taste.
It can be seen that a warrior must have tasted it himself.
Chen Lin couldn't help but admire this warrior. Although there are various scientific equipment that can detect whether the fruit is poisonous and whether the relevant elements in the fruit are harmful to humans... But for these unknown people from other worlds In Chen Lin's opinion, fruit should be more cautious.
After all, this thing is imported and needs special attention. But he just thought about it. Regarding the research on these alien fruits, those researchers must be much more professional than himself.
Something that can be imported at least means that this thing must be fine!
Chen Lin sat up from the sofa and followed the link to click on the list of edible fruits.
“So many!”
He was immediately shocked by the various pictures that popped up. There were more than 60 types of edible fruits!
Some of them have even been determined to be suitable for large-scale planting. Chen Lin noticed that most of them are similar to small watermelons, but they have different colors and have nothing to do with the fruits on the earth. The commonality seems rather strange.
"I have to find a chance to try it next time..."
However, Chen Lin has always had a good impression of those fruits with particularly bright colors.
Especially looking at the reviews below, some researchers described its taste as similar to gummy candy, sweet and sour, and Chen Lin couldn't wait to try it.
Just as he was about to continue reading, Chen Lin suddenly remembered something.
When he came back from the other side in the morning, Lin Feng met him and told him that he allowed Lin Yun to enter another world.
However, Chen Lin took a breath and gave up the plan of meeting Lin Yun directly without any hesitation.
This woman is too dangerous for Chen Lin.
But when Chen Lin met Lin Yun before, both parties left each other's phone numbers, so he simply took out his mobile phone.
After thinking about what to say, Chen Lin dialed Lin Yun's phone number.
“Is there any news from my father?”
Lin Yun's first words after he answered the phone stunned Chen Lin.
After being silent for several seconds, he asked: "Did someone tell you?"
"I just guessed it myself. I didn't expect you to be so unscrupulous and tell me directly. . "
Chen Lin smiled bitterly. This woman is really not a mortal, and she is somewhat of a dimension-reducing attack against someone like herself.
But he didn't plan to say anything more to Lin Yun.
Chen Lin hummed casually: "He allowed you to go there, and asked me to remind you not to violate the rules that were set before."
Lin Yun snorted softly on the phone and said nothing. He knew whether he was dissatisfied with Chen Lin's words or his father.
"Are you busy lately? Why don't you come to the weapons testing site?"
Chen Lin was ready to find a reason to hang up, but he heard Lin Yun say this on the phone : "Professor Yu has already criticized me, and I have realized my mistake..."
"Why do you seem to be still avoiding me?"
Chen Lin sighed, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
If you really talk about it, the reasons are really complicated...
