In this regard, Wu Hao was really speechless. It's just an idea of his, and it's basically imaginary, and it's almost impossible to make it happen.

As a technology company, he doesn't want to spend too much energy in other industries, let alone learn from a tech boss to raise pigs. Although it is a scientific pig breeding, no matter how you raise it, the pig can't fly.

Moreover, this kind of large-scale project involving more than 100,000 acres is likely to affect the overall situation of the industry, so we must be cautious. In particular, the interests of the broad masses of peasants are involved, and it is all the more necessary to give proper consideration to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

But no matter how he explained, Xu Xiaoya became interested in this project. So I hurriedly said goodbye to him and returned to the city, seeing that I should want to communicate with the leaders of the division.

It was also somewhat relieved for him, at least he didn't have to worry about being pulled into it.

After Xu Xiaoya left, Wu Hao became much more relaxed. Immediately, with Du Xiuming and them, they drove the car in the desert where the farm was located. Not to mention, the whole process is quite cool, which is completely different from driving on the road.

I walked around, but I didn't see anything, except that sand was sand. Occasionally, you can see one or two dry poplars, and nothing else.

"Wind prevention and sand fixation is the key, and I don't want the farm we worked so hard to open up to be buried in the sand." Wu Hao said to Du Xiuming who was following him.

Du Xiuming nodded and said, "Don't worry, we already have a preliminary plan.

Next week at the latest, the first batch of 50,000 fast-growing poplars and 10,000 poplar seedlings that we ordered from Tuluofan will arrive.

Workers will be hired to start planting the 1,500-hectare shelterbelt before winter arrives. ”

"Fast-growing Yang, isn't this thing bad. Flowering lint pollution, easy to make people allergic, but also prone to fire. It seems that I have heard that the lifespan of this kind of tree is relatively short, only thirty or forty years, and when it does, it will die on a large scale. Wu Hao frowned and said.

Some time ago, he also saw a news article saying that the fast-growing poplar in the Sanbei shelterbelt was this kind of fast-growing poplar in the middle of the year, and now the age of the tree has arrived, and it has begun to die on a large scale, and it is in urgent need of new tree species to replace it.

"It's not very good, but it's the most common sand-fixing and windbreak tree species here. Mainly because it is drought tolerant, fast growing, and cheap.

What we urgently need at the moment is that these trees can grow quickly and protect the farm from wind and sand, and we can only slowly improve the other drawbacks.

No, we also ordered 10,000 poplar seedlings. This is a native tree species, extremely drought tolerant, with a well-developed root system, hard wood, and very good windbreak and sand fixation. But there is also a disadvantage, that is, this poplar tree, which grows relatively slowly.

A seedling as thick as a thumb takes more than ten years to initially grow into a talent, which is too time-consuming for us, and far water cannot quench our thirst.

That's why we use a combination of these two saplings to complement each other. In this way, we can not only achieve the effect of rapid wind prevention and sand fixation, but also long-term development. Du Xiuming explained to him.

Wu Hao nodded when he heard this, this is indeed a good way. Fast-growing poplar grows fast, but has some disadvantages of short lifespan, and is suitable for planting and quickly becoming a forest. Populus euphratica is drought-tolerant, has a well-developed root system, is woody, windproof and sand fixation, and has a certain landscape value. However, the growth rate is slow, and it is not easy to grow into a forest, so it is suitable for slow cultivation.

Therefore, the mixing of these two trees can perfectly solve the disadvantages of these two kinds of trees, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

Suddenly, another idea sprung up in Wu Hao's mind. If the genes of the fast-growing poplar are extracted and then implanted into the genes of the poplar, won't the poplar grow as fast as the fast-growing poplar?

Plant gene editing technology is actually to interfere with and rehearse the genes of plant growth characteristics or add new genes to achieve related purposes.

This technology may seem more sophisticated and difficult to reach, but in fact, we ordinary people have been in close contact with it for a long time.

In fact, many of the agricultural and sideline products we currently use use this technology, which is what we often call genetically modified technology.

This technology is not actually a flood beast, in fact, everyone's fear of it still comes from ignorance, especially questions about its safety.

The unknown produces fear, and as long as people fully understand it, then this fear will slowly disappear. Whether you accept it or not, genetically modified agricultural and sideline products and even livestock and poultry are the general trend in the future.

After all, as the population of the planet grows, and the available arable land becomes less and less, and the land is more and more deprived, the existing agricultural technology has basically come to an end. Only genetically modified technology can promote large-scale growth of agricultural and sideline products in a short period of time to keep up with the speed of human growth.

Therefore, for us ordinary people, the popularization of genetically modified agricultural and sideline products is only a matter of time.

At present, what various scientific research institutions and relevant state departments are doing is to gradually eliminate the panic of the people on the one hand, and on the other hand, to step up experiments and related risk control.

Until it is confirmed that it is safe and harmless, these genetically modified agricultural and sideline products will be produced and put on the market. Of course, this is just a normal situation.

It should be easier to accept this genetically modified tree than to get the public to accept the relevant agricultural and sideline products. Not only these two trees, but also other plants and trees.

Or is it a super plant that combines all the advantages of the plant? For example, it has the growth rate of bamboo, the drought resistance of Saxon, the hard woody body of Populus euphratica, the flowers like rhododendrons, and the fragrance of jasmine.

Thinking of these, Wu Hao couldn't help but look forward to it. If this super plant is really made, the problem of desertification in the northwest will be completely solved.

It seems that the establishment of a biological research institute will have to be considered.

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu?"

"Huh?" Wu Hao hurriedly came back to his senses and coughed twice to relieve the embarrassment of losing his mind in front of everyone.

"You go on." Wu Hao said to him.

Du Xiuming glanced at him curiously, and he didn't know what his boss was thinking. But since he said so, Du Xiuming had to continue: "We have also taken into account the disadvantages of the fast-growing poplar flowering that you just said produces fluff, which is prone to allergies and causes fires.

So when these fast-growing poplars survive, we will sterilize them. This way, it won't produce lint during flowering. ”

"Spay/neuter?"
