Chapter 184 Seeds for Conserving Water Sources
The speed of accumulating natural energy has become faster again, which is a good thing, and Guo Yang no longer worries about it.
Instead, a long screening test began, which seemed boring, but was actually very interesting.
Because every small change, whether in parents, geographical location, climate environment, or customization requirements, will lead to different characteristics of the cultivated seeds.
There are all kinds of strange things, which greatly satisfy Guo Yang's curiosity.
This feeling is similar to the lottery link in the game, which is addictive.
However, Guo Yang is not simply hunting for novelties. More often, he selects and cultivates according to several of his projects.
For example, the next ecological restoration will involve Gobi saline, Gobi desert, desert and other extremely arid areas.
Precipitation is scarce, evaporation is severe, and there are serious leakage problems in the Gobi area. Even if water comes, it cannot be retained.
This is also the purpose of Guo Yang's previous trip to the Gobi. Only by discovering problems can we solve them.
For this reason,
When selecting and cultivating varieties, he abandoned many varieties with good drought resistance. There is no shortage of drought-resistant plants, but it does not change the status quo.
What he needs is a variety that is both drought-resistant and highly effective in conserving water.
Conserving water and using it on plants, Guo Yang’s understanding is that it can intercept and store precipitation, melted water from glaciers, water from rivers, etc., and regulate water flow and water circulation through evaporation.
Vegetation is known as a "green reservoir", and its basic functions are to conserve water sources and regulate climate.
Now Guo Yang's request is to strengthen it on this basis.
So it is entirely possible to achieve it, it is just a matter of time and probability.
He tried different combinations again and again and added features again and again. Fortunately, he could see the success rate. If it was less than 50%, he would not consider it for the time being.
As the day went by, no satisfactory combination was selected, but some varieties that could conserve water sources also appeared.
This allowed him to find his direction.
Gebao kenaf seems to have a stronger ability to conserve water?
In the evening, after eating in the cafeteria of Alfalfa Farm and Animal Husbandry, Guo Yang led Luo Xiu to wander nearby, and the stars in the sky lit up the grass.
The original seed propagation field of Alfalfa No. 1 has undergone great changes, with dense monitoring and dog houses scattered in the corners.
The security guard has also been replaced by a slightly younger person, and the old dog has disappeared, but there are a few more puppies.
She barked at him in a milky voice.
I have to say that the changes in Shuangqiao Village are really great. The ruined houses have disappeared, and there are more fireworks in the village.
Guo Yang also met many young people along the way, some of whom were wearing the uniforms of Alfalfa Farmers and Animal Husbandry.
Everything is getting better.
Guo Yang felt the changes he had brought to the world, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.
But a weird donkey braying interrupted him, it was a mule!
He woke up with a start!
He hurriedly ran to the laboratory. Although Luo Xiu was strange, he also abided by his duty as a bodyguard and followed closely.
Sequence 1:
[Species]: Seabuckthorn
[Parent]: Male parent
[Variety]: Big-fruited Sea Buckthorn
[Characteristics]: ...resistant to drought, cold, salt and alkali, windproof and sand-fixing...
Sequence 2:
[Type ]: Gebao kenaf
[Parent]: Female parent
[Variety]: Gebao kenaf
[Characteristics]:...has amazing vitality and water conservation properties...The leaves can produce more natural health care effects under extremely special geographical conditions.
Guo Yang looked at the success rate: 11%.
It’s really ridiculously low, but it’s understandable. After all, this is considered a cross between different species, like a horse and a donkey.
Think about it,
He changed the direction of targeted cultivation to: Gebao kenaf, and the success rate increased to 16%.
The characteristics of new varieties have also come out, and there are quite a few, a long list.
But Guo Yang chose to change.
Change to less!
As the demand characteristics decreased, the success rate increased as Guo Yang expected.
25%…35%…50%…65%…73%.
Guo Yang stopped and looked at the only remaining characteristics: amazing vitality and water conservation.
Choose to enhance the characteristics to the maximum, and the success rate drops to 59%.
As for other characteristics, they are completely left to chance, but Guo Yang really doesn’t believe that the seed store can be completely obliterated?
Xerophytes become aquatic plants?
In this case, Guo Yang would consider himself unlucky.
Then select the production area.
First I chose Asafoetida Gobi, and the success rate actually increased again, reaching 61%.
Just jump horizontally repeatedly, right?
I tried changing it to Jiahe Gobi, but it dropped to 55%, and then changed it to Minqin, and it also got 58%.
Guo Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
He then tried to change the direction of hybridization to cultivate sea buckthorn, and the success rate was also 60%.
The test was a complete success.
Means that he can try a wider variety of plants.
After having the direction, Guo Yang successively selected Haloxylon ammodendron, licorice, tamarisk, etc. and Gebao kenaf for hybrid combination.
In the end,
Guo Yang looked at the two final combinations selected in front of him: kenaf made from the cross between Haloxylon ammodendron and Gebao kenaf, and sea buckthorn made from the cross between Seabuckthorn and Gebao kenaf.
The only regret is that the consumption of natural energy has increased significantly: 268 points and 212 points, a total of 480 points have been removed, leaving 347 points.
Also bet on probability.
Want to bet?
Every bit of natural energy was exchanged for real money.
What if these two varieties only have ecological value?
If we are really blind and the desert plants become aquatic plants, then there is still a point of conserving water.
Guo Yang fell into a brief thought.
Thinking of the experience of making a fortune from gambling in this life, I laughed and cursed to myself, "If you fail, treat it as repaying your gambling debt!"
Click OK with the idea.
Guo Yang just stared at him. After waiting for a while, Guo Yang couldn't help clenching his fists and shouting in celebration.
“Fuck!”
Guo Yang was certain that he had never been so excited when buying football lottery tickets.
The feeling of accelerated adrenaline made him yell out again, "Fuck fuck fuck."
Luo Xiu knocked on the door outside and asked: "Boss, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, there are results."
Luo Xiu felt a little weird, scientific research was something he couldn't understand. field.
Inside the laboratory.
Guo Yang looked at the newly cultivated variety and named it directly.
[Type]: kenaf
[Variety]: Hanhai kenaf
[Characteristics]: Well-developed root system, ratoons can survive for more than 30 years, a large number of new roots will sprout every year, and have amazing vitality And the ability to conserve water sources, the effect is better when forming a plant community. Its pollen is extremely attractive to bees, and it is the best plant to beautify the desert. Guo Yang chuckled, "It is the best plant to beautify the desert."
It was just as he expected!
Then he was about to start cultivating another variety, but after thinking about it, he changed the order and moved the cash crops he originally planned to cultivate to the front.
The natural energy consumed is low, and I don’t feel distressed. I deliberately chose a combination with a low success rate three times in a row.
[Failed]
[Failed]
[Failed]
After failing three times in a row and losing 66 points of natural energy, Guo Yang started laughing instead.
Cultivation of sea buckthorn.
Confirm!
Maybe he was born with the potential of a gambler.
A new variety appeared in front of him.
[Type]: Seabuckthorn
[Variety]: Unnamed
[Characteristics]: A psoma plant with amazing vitality and ability to conserve water. It is more effective when forming a plant community. Its fruits It is the favorite of small animals.
Looking at the shining sand plants, Guo Yang laughed out loud again.
With these two plants, the problem of water leakage in the Gobi can be effectively solved. If the water can be retained, success will be achieved.
It can also produce excellent results in Minqin, especially the Qingtu Lake site.
More importantly, Guo Yang seems to have found a way to get rid of the bug.
Looking at the green icon of the seed store, he couldn't help but hum, "Young man, I still have you under control."
Then Guo Yang Experience what cruelty is.
Failed! -101!
A big blow!
Failed! -45!
Failed! -32!
Even though the success rate is close to 90%, it still failed three times in a row.
Guo Yang's face suddenly darkened.
Looking at the remaining 103 points of natural energy, he suddenly didn't dare to complain.
It’s getting late. Let’s rest today and come back tomorrow.
The next day, Guo Yang made a cautious decision, stuck at the threshold of 20 points of natural energy, and cultivated four blue-level seeds in succession.
Shahai Cistanche deserticola: a herbaceous plant with extremely high medicinal value, which can be used to treat kidney yang deficiency, essence and blood deficiency, cold pain in the waist and knees...
Tianmian 20:: Long-staple cotton has excellent fiber quality, is resistant to Fusarium wilt and Verticillium wilt, and has high yield potential, up to 500kg or more.
Tiandao 22: A conventional rice species with average yield, excellent taste and quality, and high requirements for water and soil quality.
Tianshu 21: Potato, high yield, widely adaptable, disease resistant, and has obvious planting benefits in arid and semi-arid areas.
Guo Yang couldn't help but feel dazed as he looked at the 6 varieties cultivated in just two days.
One of the reasons is that he found the trick, but in the final analysis, the seed store is too unreasonable.
This efficiency is too terrifying!
Looking at the emptied natural energy, Guo Yang also felt that this was an infinite cycle. If he wanted seeds, he could exchange them for natural energy.
But just as he stared at it for a while, his natural energy accumulated a little more.
Is it so fierce?
After cultivating the seeds, Guo Yang did not return to the headquarters immediately.
Instead, I spent a few days in the breeding laboratory, communicating and learning with people in the R&D center, and understanding the development of breeding technology.
After all, he still felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, the new variety approvals all bear the name of Jiahe Laboratory. Although he is also on it, if he is not registered, others will only think that he is registered under his name.
It’s the end of August.
Guo Yang also gave the seeds of rice, cotton, and potatoes to Tianheyuan Original Breeding Farm after several twists and turns.
Seeds of sea buckthorn and Hanhai kenaf can be collected directly, but sea buckthorn needs to be cultivated. Guo Yang kept half of each in Jiuquan, and the rest was going to be brought back to Minqin together with Cistanche deserticola seeds.
Guo Yang was busy processing and explaining the final work in the office. This time, he didn't know how long he would have to stay.
Thinking of the expectations of his elder brother and sister-in-law every time they talked on the phone, he felt a little guilty.
The rest of the brothers and sisters have also returned one after another, and his predecessor's longing for his hometown and relatives is still affecting him.
"I have been growing up for three thousand years, wandering in the world..."
The newly replaced phone rang, and I glanced at it. It was the leadership secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Guo Yang quickly picked up.
He looked gradually confused.
The big leader is going to Minqin for an inspection soon!
Only four years have passed since the directive that "Minqin must not be allowed to become the second Lop Nur".
Guo Yang suddenly felt a little nervous.
But then the bell rang again, which startled Guo Yang. When he saw it, it was Miao Lanchun from the War Investment Department.
"Boss, Guannong Shares contacted us and wanted to talk about selling shares."
Guo Yang raised his eyebrows, Guannong Shares? Why does it sound familiar?
“Jiahe seems not to need financing yet.”
Miao Lanchun said with a smile: “It was Guannong Shares that wanted to sell the remaining shares of Luo Potassium. It was originally with someone from the Corps The division was negotiating, but the Corps only recognized a valuation of 570 million yuan, so Guannong came to Jiahe.”
Potassium?
Guo Yang remembered that Guannong Co., Ltd. was owned by the Delong Group and was also the controlling shareholder of the original Luo Potassium Company.
Are you so miserable? You have to sell your shares again.
“How much is to be sold?”
“All the 20.30% currently held by Guannong is to be sold, and the other party hopes to sell it at a valuation of 1 billion.”
Without even thinking about it, Guo Yang said, "I refused first and left them alone for a while."
The valuation of Luo Potassium Company was 1 billion, which was for the sake of China Development Investment.
With the Delong Group gone, how long can Guannong shares continue to thrive?
Miao Lanchun asked: "Do you want to leave any room?"
