Jinjiang genuine 53
The night before going to Huajianji, Yu Siming didn't sleep well and woke up before 6 o'clock in the morning.
He went to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, and let out a long breath.
After returning from abroad, it was normal for me to not get enough rest every day due to the jet lag and my parents' health problems. Now that my parents' illness has finally recovered and my career is facing a crisis, how could the mental pressure not be great?
Not only mental pressure, but also economic pressure is gradually becoming more prominent.
After returning to China, Yu Siming bought an apartment in a community located in the city center with convenient transportation and good property services. The original old house was no longer suitable for his parents to live in and posed certain safety hazards.
Coupled with the cost of hospitalization and nursing care for the two elderly people, the savings over the years have been stretched to the limit.
Yu Siming looked at the indifferent and somewhat dejected face in the mirror, picked up the razor and started shaving.
He is not used to using domestic social software, but he logged into the official website of the Guinness World Records two days ago and found relevant information.
It is indeed as Dr. Hou said, the Guinness record for the largest diameter of Victoria amazonica was broken by Huajianji just recently in October.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.
The news has been replaying in his mind ever since.
Yu Siming took a deep breath. Just as Dr. Hou said, he should go and have a look.
Let's see what ability this private botanical garden has to defeat all the botanical gardens in the world that cultivate Victoria amazonica and defeat the new variety that shocked the world. What exactly is it -
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Mrs. Wang knocking on the door: "Mr. Yu, are you up yet?"
Yu Siming finished packing and opened the door: "I have to go out for something today. You should take good care of your parents at home, pay attention to the nutritional balance of breakfast, and remember to stew the bird's nest you bought yesterday."
Mrs. Wang: "Okay."
Mrs. Wang looked at his face and said, "I made seafood porridge. Would you like me to serve you a bowl?"
Yu Siming thought that going to Huajianji today was a big deal, so he said, "Well, let's go to Sheng."
Mrs. Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The host treated him well, but Mr. Yu's expression was a little scary. He acted like others owed him a lot of money every day, which made people feel scared.
But today seems to be a little better than before.
When Yu Siming drove to the entrance of Huajianji, the park was not open yet.
The daytime comes late in winter, and the surroundings only start to get bright around 8 o'clock. Coupled with the occasional cold wind, there is a touch of bleakness and decay.
With the arrival of winter, the opening hours of Huajianji have been adjusted accordingly.
The opening hours have been adjusted to 8:30-17:30, which is half an hour later than the original opening hours.
At the same time, because the short-lived spectacle of the Epiphyllum has passed, the tickets for the Epiphyllum Night Tour have been cancelled, Huajianji will be closed at night and only open during the day.
It just so happened that the ticket price increased on January 1st, and the number of tourists decreased to a certain extent. The opening hours were kept consistent with the number of tourists, and the employees could also rest in the evening when it gradually darkened.
When the garden opened at 8:30, Yu Siming and other tourists entered the botanical garden from Gate 2.
There were not many tourists at that time, so he could see the surrounding environment and the entire building clearly.
Like other first-time visitors, Yu Siming immediately saw the magnificent hemispherical building not far away and the lush leaves of tropical plants faintly visible through the translucent glass curtain wall.
Tropical plants?
Is it... an exhibition greenhouse?
And the area is not small.
The people around were walking inside, but Yu Siming stood still, looking straight at the huge building with crisscrossing silver steel structures.
Perhaps other tourists are not aware that people like them who work in the Botanical Institute understand best the cost of building an exhibition greenhouse.
The construction alone cost no less than tens of millions, and that does not include the plants and various landscaping inside.
Yu Siming has seen many private botanical gardens and horticultural areas abroad.
They are beautifully built, with a large number of flowers planted in large areas in the flower beds. The colors are bright and varied, and both the shape and design are remarkable. They even hired a well-known gardener to take care of them.
However, it is mostly for viewing purposes, and all the costs added up are less than the cost of the exhibition greenhouse in front of us.
It should be said that it is far from enough.
Huajianji is indeed not an ordinary private botanical garden.
At least from the perspective of creating the exhibition greenhouse, the person in charge behind it is quite capable and is willing to invest.
Yu Siming walked into the exhibition greenhouse. The gentle breeze blew gently, bringing spring-like warmth and dispelling the cold outside, as if entering a season of revival.
He took off his coat and hung it over his elbows, smelling the freshness of the grass and the moisture of the drizzle, and even his tense nerves relaxed a little.
Very comfortable.
This place...is very different from other exhibition greenhouses.
Yu Siming took a deep breath of the fragrance of the grass and trees. Instead of immediately appreciating the indoor scenery and plants, he looked up at the dome and the surrounding equipment.
After the exhibition greenhouse is built, it will be closed most of the time and form its own ecosystem.
Maintaining a constant temperature relies on heaters and air supply and exhaust systems hanging from the glass ceiling. There are about 6 to 8 of them, placed at different angles with the air vents facing the inside. Similar to the principle of air conditioning, it will bring a feeling of dryness and stuffiness over time.
The constant humidity is the result of the misting system, just like placing a humidifier in an office in winter, which has limited effect and only creates the conditions required for plant growth.
In order to create a paradise for tropical plants, the exhibition greenhouse is equipped with ventilation systems, heating systems, circulating air systems, spray systems... as well as various high-tech intelligent control equipment such as wind speed sensors, light sensors, and temperature sensors.
But no matter how advanced the equipment is, it cannot compare to the gentleness and comfort of natural wind.
Staying in the exhibition greenhouse for a long time is like staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time in winter. You will feel stuffy and want to go out for some fresh air.
However, the environment here is completely different.
Yu Siming can clearly feel the warmth and softness of the spring breeze, and is infinitely close to the natural state.
That comfortable temperature is silently seeping into the body bit by bit, and the freshness of grass and trees is infused into the nasal cavity, heart and lungs, making people feel refreshed.
His originally slightly gloomy brows gradually relaxed in such a relaxing environment.
He didn't understand how Huajianji created this exhibition greenhouse, but he knew that the environment here was extremely comfortable.
——Whether for plants or humans.
Yu Siming had to admit that he had just come in and had not even had time to explore the plants in the exhibition greenhouse, but his opinion of Huajianji had already changed to a certain extent.
Of course the most important thing is plants.
He walked to the water lily pond, where the hardy water lilies were blooming.
The dozens of plants that bloomed some time ago are close to withering, but the remaining one hundred or so plants are blooming one after another. There are so many of them that the entire pond presents a mixture of gold and orange colors.
The round green leaves sway gently with the waves, and hundreds of water lilies bloom in competition, dotted like lights on the water, like a water lily pond depicted in an oil painting, with rich colors and exquisite composition, reflecting detailed and clear silhouettes on the water surface.
Yu Siming walked forward and got closer to carefully identify their species.
The petals are not long and thin, and the extent and color of the opening are different from those of ordinary water lilies. The flower is large, with 20-30 petals, and the shape is like a goblet filled with petals...
He quickly searched through his extraordinary memory, but found that he couldn't even name it.
It was the first time that Yu Siming encountered such a situation, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
This should be a new variety of water lily.
He looked at the introduction board and found that it was indeed a new product that had just been registered in September - the cold-resistant water lily 'Canjin', which was rated "excellent" in the water lily evaluation.
excellent.
This level is very high.
The water lily competition is a worldwide competition, and only a few are rated as excellent each year. Moreover, this is such a rare color and shape, which is probably the only one in China.
How could such a precious species be given to a private botanical garden?
Even though there has been some improvement, Yu Siming still subconsciously feels that Huajianji is not qualified enough.
In particular, W City has another national 4A-level botanical garden.
But he soon realized why.
Although hardy water lilies can survive the winter perfectly, their flowering period is similar to that of tropical water lilies, usually blooming from June to August.
But now, in only early January, these water lilies are already blooming.
It is a new variety that was just bred in September.
New varieties are the most difficult to cultivate and have great instability and uncertainty, but Huajianji only took less than three months to cultivate and made all the more than 100 water lilies bloom half a year before their flowering period.
this......
Yu Siming didn't show it on his face, but he was deeply shaken inside.
If you ask yourself, even the research team he leads would find it difficult to do so.
It's just too difficult.
A good growth environment, breeding base, its own condition, breeding technology, etc. are all indispensable, and perhaps technical means of inducing flowering must also be used.
However, when he turned his eyes to these water lilies, he saw that each of them had a beautiful shape, with round and full petals, layered one on top of the other, blooming at the most elegant angle; even the edges of the round lotus leaves were not chipped or yellow at all, which could be said to be the most perfect posture.
Accompanied by the clear blue water in the pond, it is as beautiful as a painting.
Yu Siming walked around the water lily pond and found that every flower was like this. There was no flaw to be found if one looked at any one of the water lilies.
He straightened up, his eyes still fixed on the water lilies, but his thoughts gradually drifted away.
He discovered that he had been completely wrong.
Why leave the new species to this private botanical garden?
The reason is simple.
Because no other botanical garden can cultivate better than Huajianji.
It was not the research institute that gave the new variety to Huajianji, but Huajianji that allowed this new variety to show its best condition and most perfect side.
Some tourists came over to take pictures and were amazed by the blooming water lilies in the pond. Tourists behind them also came, and soon the water lily pond was packed with people.
Even if the ticket price increases, most tourists will still come here in an endless stream for this unique scenery.
Yu Siming automatically retreated outside the water lily pond, calmed himself, and headed to the orchid area not far away.
For him, his main research direction makes it easier to see the state of plants.
However, when he saw that the orchids "growing" along the tree stump were almost all rare species that were rarely seen in normal times, he could not hide his surprise.
Long-spur comet orchid, big comet orchid, ivory comet orchid...Flying cloud paphiopedilum, black beauty paphiopedilum, striped leaf paphiopedilum (national second-level protected plant)...
There are also several new species that I don’t recognize.
Yu Siming looked at the introduction board - Central African Comet Orchid, a new variety developed in September.
Dream Paphiopedilum and Angel Paphiopedilum are new results of hybridization and are appearing in front of the public for the first time.
As a PhD student majoring in orchids, I actually had a little eye-opening here.
Although there are not many types of orchids in Huajianji, each one is a rare masterpiece, and few botanical gardens can include all the species.
Especially Darwinland. Although he has done a lot of related research, it is limited to theory and he has only seen it once.
He clearly remembered that it was at the International Orchid Exhibition three years ago.
At that time, the Darwin orchid, as a star in the orchid world, was placed in the center of the exhibition hall, with two security guards guarding it on the left and right. The security equipment was strict and it was put away after only one week of display.
I didn't expect to see you here again.
Even though Yu Siming was always calm, he couldn't help but feel emotional. He put the coat that was draped over his elbow aside and leaned forward, just to better observe this precious orchid.
Darwin orchids are famous for their long flower spurs. The one in front of us, perhaps because of its sufficient nutrition, has three star-shaped orchids blooming in the center of its broad leaves. The longest flower spur is at least 25 centimeters, which is very rare nowadays.
The one Yu Siming saw at the last International Orchid Exhibition was about the same length, but that pot of Darwin orchid had been carefully cultivated for three years before it was shown to the public.
Ye Han's plant was only around for half a month, but it couldn't wait to bloom as soon as the flowering period came, and it bloomed more than one flower.
Yu Siming carefully observed its long spur. Under the light, he could vaguely see tiny pollen shadows in the bottom 3 centimeters, which meant that the pollinating insects had to penetrate more than 20 centimeters inside to reach their destination.
When Darwin first saw this orchid, he predicted that on the island of Madagascar, there would be an insect with an extremely long beak to match it.
It was later confirmed that there is indeed such a moth, and it was named "Prophecy Long-beaked Hawk Moth".
The prophecy refers to Darwin's prophecy.
It is very large and shaped like a hummingbird, and its long beak only opens when it is sucking nectar. After sucking, it immediately curls up into a small curl, so it has not been discovered by people for a long time.
After the discovery, it provided a basis for the theory of evolution.
Unfortunately, such evolution does not necessarily lead to the continuation of the species.
It is this characteristic that determines that Darwin's orchid can only be pollinated by this long-beaked hawk moth, but this insect is now extinct (perhaps there are very few, but they have not been discovered).
Without insect pollination, Darwin orchid is on the verge of extinction. It is almost impossible to see it in the wild. Artificial pollination is also difficult and the survival rate is extremely low. Its preciousness is self-evident.
Looking at this rare long-spur comet orchid, Yu Siming found it difficult to calm down.
If he could get a job at Huajianji, it would mean that he could study this orchid up close, and perhaps overcome the difficulty of artificial pollination, allowing the genes of this endangered plant to continue—
By then, it will be of great significance both for the protection of wild plants and for the breakthrough of scientific research results!
Yu Siming's ideas now are completely different from when he first arrived.
The private botanical garden that he had originally unaccepted suddenly became the research institute he most desired, and his mind was filled with thoughts about what he would do after joining the company.
This change took place in less than half an hour after he entered the park.
Dr. Hou received a call from Yu Siming without any surprise, at this time...
He checked his phone and it was only 9 o'clock.
Huajianji has just been open for half an hour. Isn’t it too fast?
As soon as Dr. Hou answered the phone, the other party's voice came through the phone: "Old Hou, please send me the director's contact information."
Dr. Hou said "Oh" and smiled, "You went to Huajianji? How did you feel?"
Yu Siming only replied with four words: "Beyond imagination."
He originally planned to go back directly from the orchid area, but he saw another water lily pond not far away, in which extremely rare two-color water lilies bloomed!
What he didn't know was that the first flower had already withered, and this was the second flower that had just bloomed recently.
But even so, such a result was enough to shock Yu Siming.
Wan Weisha, the world champion of water lilies, was also introduced by Huajianji and cultivated a two-color lotus with a probability of one in fifty thousand.
However, this variation is uncontrollable, and the factors that produce the two colors are still unclear.
This is another scientific research project of great significance.
The probability of the appearance of bicolor water lilies is too low, and there are no related samples to study. However, here, he can conduct experiments to his heart's content and strive to achieve great scientific research goals.
For Yu Siming, after just half an hour, Huajianji has become the top company he most wants to work for.
As long as the salary is acceptable and the laboratory has all the basic equipment, he can start work immediately.
Dr. Hou did not expect that his evaluation of Huajianji would be so high.
As far as I can remember, this scientific research genius in the same profession rarely showed obvious favor, and he never praised the foreign research institute that hired him at a high salary.
That's good.
Both Director Ye and Yu Siming got what they wanted.
Yu Siming got the contact information.
There was a very young female voice on the other end of the phone. If Dr. Hou hadn't reminded him, he would have found it hard to believe that the other party was the director of Huajianji.
Ye Han also saw the message sent by Dr. Hou.
She smiled slightly. It seemed that she had found the talent this time. She would thank the other party when the time came.
The two agreed to meet outside the newly built science and technology research museum in half an hour.
Ye Han wore a light grey cashmere coat that reached her calf, with a light-coloured slim-fitting shirt underneath and a pair of white short boots. Her long, smooth hair was draped over her chest, making her look taller and more beautiful.
When Yu Siming saw the young and beautiful girl in front of him, he thought he had recognized the wrong person.
Too young.
Unimaginably young.
It was this girl in her early 20s who built an expensive exhibition greenhouse, introduced rare and precious plants that are rarely seen in normal times, and developed the private botanical garden Huajianji into what it is today? !
Ye Han smiled and said, "Is that Dr. Yu?"
Yu Siming quickly came back to his senses: "Yes, I am."
Ye Han said calmly, "Hello, I am Ye Han, the director of Huajianji."
It's really her!
Yu Siming buried this surprise deep in his heart and did not reveal a single word of it.
He originally thought that he had outstanding achievements in scientific research, but when he saw the other party, he realized that there are always people better than you.
Ye Han invited him to enter the sealed area: "I heard about the general situation from Dr. Hou. I will take you to visit the laboratory on the third floor first, and then we can talk in detail."
Yu Siming: “Okay.”
After putting aside what had just happened, he began to look around the science museum.
The area is very large, no less than a national science museum. The lobby and main hall on the first floor are elegantly decorated, with shiny floors and mainly pure white and light gray tones, which are very stylish.
The walls and partitions were very well designed, but he only took a quick look before entering the elevator on the side.
The elevator was very fast and there was no feeling of weightlessness. It felt like you were on the third floor as soon as you entered.
As the elevator door opened, Yu Siming's pupils contracted for a moment.
He walked forward unconsciously because he saw a laboratory that was more complete and advanced than he had imagined!
Darwin Orchid: The pollinating moth died, and I don’t want to die with it QAQ Save me, save me.
