Zheng Qu had already received a notice and knew that Lu Yu was coming, but he was not surprised when he saw Lu Yu.

Lu Yu nodded to several researchers: "I heard that drought-resistant plants that enhance water storage characteristics have entered the end of the experiment?"

Zheng Qu: "Yes, in the past winter, we not only tested the cold resistance and survival ability of the new varieties in various extreme environments, but also carefully observed and verified the ecological environment issues such as gene escape, inseparable relatives and hybridization, and the results were very good."

Lu Yu flipped through the summary report delivered by Zheng Qu, looking at it page by page, for a while:

“That is,…”

Zheng Qu gave a positive reply: "From our experimental results, the new drought-resistant plants that can be promoted at present, including Halaxy trees, flower sticks, and Yang Chai, the main small trees."

"Although tall trees such as poplar, long-seared willow, and red willow have stronger ability to prevent and fix sand and increase water storage characteristics, due to the long growth cycle, if culture medium is not used, it will not have immediate results."

Lu Yu said he knew and continued to read the summary report.

Because these improved plants have certain drought resistance, they have now enhanced their water storage capacity and their survivability in a drought environment have been greatly improved.

It has wide adaptability, developed root system, dense branches, narrow leaves, weak transpiration, and has strong ability to prevent wind and sand.

Although tall trees still have the disadvantage of long growth cycles, the flaws do not conceal their merits.

...

After reading the summary report, Lu Yu was mixed with joy.

What I am happy about is the success of the experiment and took a considerable step forward on the road to preventing and controlling desertification. What I am worried about is that the drought-resistant plant varieties have been improved and the promotion problem is facing it again.

At present, the main body of preventing and controlling desertification and preventing and fixing sand is still the official relevant departments, and the proportion of volunteers and voluntary institutions is small.

The official department does not have a unified and coordinated organization. Under the leadership of the officials of each province, the forestry authorities of each province are responsible for the management of their respective regions.

The specific implementation is the county and city administrative agencies such as agriculture, animal husbandry, water conservancy, environmental protection, land resources, etc., which do relevant sand prevention and control work within their respective responsibilities.

To put it nicely, it is to give full play to the subjective initiative of each department and cooperate closely. To put it nicely, it is to sweep the snow in front of the door and take care of each person.

There are many departments responsible for sand prevention and fixing work in the same area, but the result is that they don’t know who to contact for specific matters.

In the past, there were things that volunteers paid money and worked hard, but were shirked from each other and didn’t know what to do.

If you do more, you may make mistakes, but if you do not, you will definitely not make mistakes. The Chinese people have been a philosophy of serving as officials for thousands of years.

How did Lu Yu promote this?

Find out where you are. Ordinary private commercial companies are not administrative agencies, so what can you use to communicate and coordinate?

...

Lu Yu scratched his head and told Zheng Qu about his thoughts in worry.

Zheng Qu was also a little stunned after hearing this and looked at Lu Yu.

He has been engaged in research for many years and is not sensitive to commercial matters and has little understanding of the official matters. He has no good idea for Lu Yu to worry about.

It was also a research assistant of Zheng Qu who raised his hand and reminded him in a low voice: "Maybe, you can ask Academician Fang."

Lu Yu and Zheng Qu's eyes lit up. Academician Fang of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences naturally could not forget who he was.

Academician Fang once wanted to promote the culture medium, so he asked Lu Yu to prepare two batches of culture medium for outdoor experiments, but later, because the raw material cost was too high, he had to give up.

When he thought of it, Lu Yu immediately picked up the phone and found Academician Fang's number to dial.

The phone was quickly answered, and Academician Fang's hearty laughter came: "Haha, Mr. Lu, why do you, a science madman, remember to call the old man?"

Lu Yu was extremely surprised: "Mr. Fang, are you still online?"

Academician Fang returned angrily: "Tsk, how fresh! I still use a smartphone!"

Lu Yu was amused by Mr. Fang. He interfered with an old man, but his heart was not old, and he still had a bit of a naughty spirit:

"Don't listen to those comments on the Internet, you can't take it seriously."

Academician Fang: "I think it's very accurate. Good guy, he is silent, both artificial intelligence and robotics, and he is still doing holographic projection. The key is that it's all exciting."

"It's all full of science fiction techniques. There are three more people here. Just that, how dare you say it's not crazy?"

...

Lu Yu coughed: "You have to be proud of this, and I really can't afford it."

Academician Fang: "You can do it, you can do it, old man, I always thought you are only a little good at biochemistry, and you are engaged in cosmetics and culture medium. I didn't expect you to be a programming genius, and you have made all artificial intelligence."

Lu Yu: "That's not something I did alone, the company is as big as a team."

Academician Fang: "Don't fool me, although I don't know programming or computers, I also know that artificial intelligence cannot be piled up with more people."

Lu Yu: "No one dares to fool you. Isn't this the Botanical Research Garden just got a little bit of a small achievement, so I want to ask you to provide guidance."

Academician Fang: "Oh? Could it be that Zheng Qu has created something new?"

Lu Yu thought for a while: "It can be said that this time it's about plants."

Academician Fang: "What is it specifically?"

Lu Yu laughed and said, "Hehe, you can tell if you come and see it yourself."

Academician Fang was furious and began to criticize Lu Yu for speaking halfway through his words, saying that young people were not kind to do this, and they would have been drowned in the early years.

...

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yu shook his head in a funny way.

Academician Fang is also an interesting person. Although he knew that Lu Yu was deliberately trying to make his appetite, he even said that Lu Yu was so naughty that he was so naughty, but he still agreed to come and take a look in two days.

In his words, it’s not curious, but just giving you Mr. Xiao Lu a little face. Since you have invited me to the old man with kindness, if you don’t come, I’m really afraid that you will not be able to get over the face.

This step was so perfunctory that I didn't care at all, and I was embarrassed to expose it.

Lu Yu told Zheng Qu about the news that Academician Fang would come in two days and asked him to sort out the information on improving drought-resistant plants.

Zheng Qu understood, and wanted to see if he could have the opportunity to promote it through the path of Academician Fang and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

After talking about the drought-resistant plants that enhance water storage characteristics, Lu Yu asked about plants that attract water from the air.

Zheng Qu told all the progress of the experiment and the difficulties he encountered at present.

Finally, it is concluded that through base gene editing technology, it is no problem to allow plants to have this new characteristic.

The problem lies in the balance between the absorption of moisture from the leaves air and the transpiration of the plants themselves, so that the plants can survive better in a drought environment without much influence on the root system, and achieve the purpose of preventing wind and sand.

If you just absorb moisture from the air, you can do it now. The disadvantage is that the roots of the plant will shrink.

In desertified areas and arid desert areas, it is obviously not feasible to see plants with underdeveloped root systems.

...

Lu Yu knew that it was not easy to reach this balance, so he nodded and did not say much.

Zheng Qu and his team are on the right path in their research experiments, and all they lack is time and occasional flash of inspiration. Speaking more at this time will put them on task pressure.

Besides, the Botanical Research Garden is now connected to artificial intelligence as a whole. If it really doesn’t work, you can also give them a prompt through Xiaoling.

After watching the laboratory, Lu Yu, accompanied by Zheng Qu and others, went outdoors to see the cultivation of many samples.

In addition to genetically modified plants, another area also has iterative reproductive drought-resistant plants studied by Li Chaoyan's team.

Because of the culture medium, their cultivation progress is also quite good. They have accumulated a lot of plant growth data, providing Zheng Qu's team with a lot of practical references.

After visiting the outdoor sample cultivation, Lu Yu, Zheng Qu and others walked towards the office while talking.

Zheng Qu hesitated for a long time before finding Kwun and Lu Yu, saying, "Mr. Lu, I want to apply for a new project."

Lu Yu turned his head and looked at him: "What project? Didn't the company approve it?"

Zheng Qu shook his head: "There is no written application yet, it's just that this idea has been there for a while."

Lu Yu: "Oh? Tell me."

Zheng Qu: "Plants that study strong photosynthesis."

Lu Yu was obviously stunned: "Carbon dioxide?"

Zheng Qu nodded: "I think we have the conditions now and have a certain technical foundation. I can't guarantee whether we can succeed, but I want to do my best."

Lu Yu smiled softly: "The greenhouse effect, Lao Zheng, you really know how to choose projects."
