Jiang Yu and Jiang Shiliu first took a bus back to the airport in Beijing, met with experts from the "Green Field Project" project, and then the group took a plane south together.

Jiang Yu was a little surprised: "Aren't we going to see the current situation of desert agriculture? Why should we go to the south first?"

An expert named Qi Guanglu explained: "We have discussed it over the past few days and feel that only two projects meet your requirements. One of them is to compare southern land and desertified land.

"So you have to go and see the varieties that were originally cultivated in the south."

Jiang Yu nodded and heard what Qi Guanglu meant, saying that he was giving him a lesson to the outsider.

When Jiang Yu arrived in Guangdong, he was somewhat surprised when he saw the neatly grown grass more than seven meters tall.

Seven meters have reached the height of three floors, and Jiang Yu has to raise his head to see the top of the grass.

Qi Guanglu explained: "This is the giant mushroom grass we introduced from Africa in the 1980s.

"After our years of cultivation, African countries are now going to introduce them back from us."

Jiang Yu had seen grass several meters high, but it was so neat and tidy, and the grass that was about the same height as the trees around him were still very spectacular.

Qi Guanglu continued: "The name of the Giant Mushroom Grass was given by my teacher. He planted this grass in the whole country!

"Take this grass base for example, because the climate is suitable and the fertilizer and moisture are appropriate, the giant mushroom grass can be harvested every thirty or forty days."

Jiang Yu then came to his senses: "Can this grass be planted in the desert?"

"Yes," said Qi Guanglu: "Because it grows very tall, it also has the effect of preventing and fixing sand.

"The giant mushroom grass has now been planted in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and other places, and there are new varieties that can be planted in saline-alkali land, and it also has the effect of nitrogen fixation, which can improve the fertility of the land.

"I brought you here to let you feel the impact of climate on vegetation.

"Please go to the ridge of the field to experience the excellent growth environment created by the rain in the south for vegetation."

Jiang Yu nodded and walked on the ridge of the field with Jiang Shiliu, looking at the sky above his head: "Have you ever seen such a tall and so neatly grown grass?"

Jiang Shiliudao: "I haven't seen it before."

"I only found out today that I don't understand agriculture at all!" Jiang Yu sighed: "It's just right to take advantage of this inspection to make up for myself."

After wandering around this pasture for an hour or two, Jiang Yu and others immediately took a plane to Kashgar area of ​​Xinjiang.

The next morning, Qi Guanglu took Jiang Yu to the local giant mushroom grass planting area.

From a distance, I saw a green patch of "giant mushroom grass" in the sandy land, but it was much shorter than the "giant mushroom grass" in Guangdong.

Qi Guanglu explained on the side: "This 'Sand Land Giant Fungi Grass' has nearly 500 acres, which has greatly improved the surrounding ecosystem.

"The giant mushroom grass here is only two to two and a half meters, but in the northern region, it is already a very tall grass.

“Look there, it’s a saltwater lake, and ordinary crops are difficult to grow by the lake, or they can’t be watered with water from the lake.

"This variety of giant mushroom grass is designed for such an environment. It can grow so tall because it has water irrigation.

"However, due to water resources, the giant mushroom grass here can only be collected for up to two seasons a year."

Jiang Yu looked at the giant mushroom grass floating in the wind around him, and felt that the hot air in the desert had dissipated a lot.

He asked again: "What will happen if the giant mushroom grass planted in desert areas where water is difficult to obtain?"

Qi Guanglu took a deep breath and said, "You will see it tomorrow."

So after most of the day of running around, the group came to a Gobi Desert.

A gust of wind blew, and yellow sand rose everywhere, and I would take a bite of sand if I accidentally took it.

On the other side of the dune, there are rows of green and yellow grasses, similar to the color of sand.

They were just as high as their knees. If some of their leaves were not green, Jiang Yu would have thought they had died.

Through the leaves of these grasses, Jiang Yu could tell that this is also the giant mushroom grass.

Compared with the giant mushroom grass in Guangdong, the giant mushroom grass here seems to come from the Lilliput Kingdom.

Qi Guanglu said: "It is inconvenient to obtain water here. Even if the root system can penetrate several meters underground, this special variety of giant mushroom grass grows so miserably.

"If water is diverted from other places to irrigate, the cost is too high and the efficiency is too small, so this test field is simply not large."

Qi Guanglu paused and said, "The reason why the desert is a forbidden area of ​​life is because it is extremely water-deficient and is not suitable for the growth of any vegetation."

Jiang Yu squatted beside the short "giant mushroom grass" for a long time and said nothing. He lamented that it was indeed like a mountain. He had realized before that he had thought about desert agriculture too simply.

I didn't expect that it was too simple and too naive!

Even the grass with tenacious vitality grows so listless, let alone crops.

After a brief loss, Jiang Yu was forced to cheer up again. If he was so easy to achieve his goals, he would not need to borrow the power of the wall-faced person.

He quickly controlled his frustration, walked around for a while, and followed the experts to an Inner Mongolia desert experimental field for inspection.

It was a day after arriving at the test field, and it was still far away. Jiang Yu saw that the test field was composed of regular green and round shapes.

The person who gave the explanation to Jiang Yu was another expert named Zhang Yang.

He pointed to the circles on the ground and explained: "In the sand here, we incorporated a special adhesive.

"This adhesive allows sand to bond together like soil, effectively retaining moisture.

"Especially in deserts, irrigation is the biggest cost, and this invention can effectively reduce the irrigation costs of desert crops."

Before arriving at the test field, Jiang Yu found that the wheat was planted here, and the ears were only two-thirds of that of his hometown, and they were not very full.

However, there are already harvesters harvesting in the distance.

Jiang Yu asked: "The wheat ears are still green now, shouldn't they collect them too early?"

Zhang Yang explained: "The sun shines here for a long time, and if the wheat ears turn yellow and then collect them, it will be too late. At that time, many wheat grains will fall into the ground."

Jiang Yu nodded and looked at the round wheat fields. This may not be a different way to find a way.

He asked Zhang Yang: "Is that kind of adhesive expensive?"

"It's not cheap to produce energy now." Zhang Yang returned: "Even if it is mass-produced, the cost of wheat here is three to four times higher than the cost of growing wheat in ordinary land.

"The harvest is less than two-thirds of the normal land, and it is completely ineffective.

"So this project is still in the experimental stage at present, and it is still quite far from large-scale promotion."

Jiang Yu looked at the green wheat fields and seemed to feel the tenacity of life.
