Jinjiang genuine 111 (changed characters)
Just like I checked yesterday, today is a rare good day.
It was a cloudy day, the sunlight was not strong, and the temperature was only 24-28 degrees, which was very cool compared to the high temperature of 35 degrees in the previous few days and was very suitable for travel.
Ye Han changed his clothes early in the morning. He wore long sleeves and long pants, with his trouser legs tucked tightly into his canvas shoes and the laces tied tightly. He tied his hair up high and put on a white baseball cap, almost fully armed himself.
Today they are going to the Luanhu Wetland Ecological Protection Area, which is densely populated with swamps and islands. There may be a lot of mosquitoes, so they must be careful.
The backpack behind him was filled with water, snacks, scissors, sampling bags, a small spray bottle with plant nutrient solution, as well as a simple first aid kit and protective equipment.
Another researcher, Zhou Hang, was also ready early, waiting downstairs with a professional field sampling tool box on his back.
The toolbox was fully equipped. In addition to the items prepared by Ye Han, there were also measuring tools, lawn mowers, folding military shovels, flashlights, aluminum container boxes, etc. It looked very professional at first glance.
"Good morning, Director." Zhou Hang greeted Ye Han. Looking at the other person's youthful outfit, he felt a little dazed and a little nervous.
Regarding this quota, except for two PhD students who already have partners, several other researchers want to apply for it.
After all, it is an honor for everyone to travel with such a beautiful and elegant girl.
What's more, Ye Han is the director of Huajianji and the person who decides their salaries and promotions.
Even if you are not very worldly-wise, you still understand the importance of maintaining good relationships with others.
Since swamp wetlands are mostly composed of ferns and aquatic plants, he happened to be a professional who was suitable for the job, otherwise it would definitely not be his turn.
"I must perform well this time," he warned himself.
"Good morning." Ye Han nodded with a smile.
She usually interacts more with the two doctors, especially Dr. Yu, the person in charge, and doesn't know much about this researcher.
But she believed that the person recommended by Dr. Yu must be fine.
"Let's go."
"Yes, Director."
The two came to the parking area.
In order to facilitate travel and receive inspectors, Huajianji recently purchased two cars, a Mercedes-Benz business car and a Volvo, which are more secure.
Ye Han took the driving test when he was in college, but he inherited this botanical garden right after graduation. He was busy with various affairs and did not drive very often.
However, seeing Zhou Hang's embarrassed expression, she had no choice but to say, "I'll drive."
The driver has asked for leave today due to some matters.
After opening the car door and putting the backpack on the back seat, Ye Han was about to get up when a cold, slender hand reached out from the side and helped her block the roof of the car.
She turned around and saw Fu Yunze in formal attire, looking slightly surprised: "Why are you here?"
I remember that the other party has a morning meeting today, starting at 7:30.
Fu Yunze looked at Ye Han's outfit, his eyes slightly startled, and after a few seconds he said softly: "I'm worried, so I came to see you off."
Then he glanced at Zhou Hang beside him and frowned slightly, "Is the driver not here?"
Ye Han: "Yes, he took a day off today."
She raised her eyes and smiled: "It's okay, you can go back first."
Just as she was about to walk around the car to the driver's seat, the man grabbed her wrist and said, "I'll let Xiao Chen take you there."
The other person's hands were very hot, and the scorching temperature was transmitted to her skin through a thin layer of clothing, and the touch was very obvious.
Fu Yunze quickly let go of her hand, his ears slightly red, and he coughed unnaturally: "It will be safer if the driver picks you up."
Ye Han rubbed his wrist subconsciously: "Yeah, that's right."
Fu Yunze thought about it and still felt uneasy, and whispered: "Should we let the bodyguard--"
Ye Han shook his head: "Really not necessary."
Fu Yunze looked at her, his eyes never leaving her: "Okay."
Zhou Hang: “…”
At this point, I should be under the car.
The driver Chen Ke arrived quickly and the three got in the car. Ye Han sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.
Fu Yunze once again reminded the driver: "Drive slowly on the road and pay attention to safety."
Chen Ke: "Okay, Mr. Fu."
Ye Han looked at him from the half-open car window: "Go back, the morning meeting is almost over."
"Yeah." Fu Yunze casually hung up the call from Pan Heng and didn't turn around and leave until the car was completely out of sight.
The Luanhu Wetland Ecological Reserve they are going to today covers an area of more than 8,000 acres, including wetland ecological conservation areas, wetland ecological breeding areas, wetland reed marshes, etc. A national field observation and research station has also been established here to observe wetland ecology and the diversity of wild animals and plants. It is one of the few national observation points in W City.
There are vast waters, islands and swamps everywhere, and dense vegetation. It is also a tourist resort with beautiful scenery.
Nowadays, transportation is very convenient. You can drive directly along the lakeside avenue into the island, and then take a cruise ship at the pier to the island.
The vehicle took nearly an hour to reach its destination.
Ye Han looked up some information along the way and gained a new understanding of the vegetation here, and then was attracted by the scenery along the way.
Looking at the open lakes and wetlands on both sides from the viaduct, the view is broad and endless. They seem to be flying above the huge lake, giving people a magnificent visual effect.
Ye Han sat in the car, feeling the cool lake breeze and suddenly felt relaxed and happy.
The vehicle drove into the ecological zone and stopped steadily near the pier. The two got off the car to take the cruise ship.
As it was early, there were few tourists, and Ye Han and Zhou Hang successfully landed on a relatively remote island after 30 minutes.
The island is very large, covering an area of more than 300 acres, which is equivalent to half of the area of Huajianji.
Unlike the lake island, which has been vigorously developed and turned into a garden-like landscape, it is less developed, with dense native vegetation and lush trees. There are many wild species hidden in the inner area, including many rare and protected plants.
Walking along the paved plank road, there are trees on both sides, few people and it is quiet.
A large section of the road ahead is made up of man-made plank roads and steps, with a pavilion in the middle. A few tourists are resting on the roadside.
According to the navigation map, the two left this road and took a path deeper into the area, away from the developed environment.
After walking for a while, Ye Han looked at the time and it was already 10 o'clock.
Looks like we'll have to stay here until the afternoon.
The path is not very wide, and the surroundings become particularly quiet, with only the sounds of insects and birds chirping. There are puddles and small ponds on both sides from time to time, and there is a damp feeling after the rain.
This is a wetland environment.
Ye Han walked forward while observing the plants on both sides. This was her first time experiencing anything like this and it was quite novel.
Going further, there is a warning sign not far away, warning tourists not to enter at will as there are certain risks.
It appears that we have reached the protected area.
There are usually personnel stationed there, but there are not many tourists visiting the island, so no relevant personnel have been seen yet.
It doesn’t matter even if someone checks. Ye Han has already obtained the collection certificate. It is part of the normal procedure, so there is no need to worry.
After entering, Zhou Hang finally found his place and took the initiative to explain: "Director, look here.
This vine plant that grows in the shrubs on the hillside is called cloud fruit. It has tiny hooked thorns all over its body and is also called tiger thorn. Now these plants have passed their flowering period and have already produced fruits. "
Zhou Hang went forward to take a look: "Its flowers are quite ornamental. The flower stalks grow in a bunch from top to bottom. There are many flowers. From a distance, they look like a group of flying yellow butterflies. They also have certain medicinal effects..."
Ye Han had heard of this plant. Looking at the thriving Yunshi in front of him, he decided to introduce it into the botanical garden.
It will then be placed in the tropical plant exhibition greenhouse to add color.
This time she came to the ecological reserve not only to collect endangered plants, but also to introduce more wild plants to enrich the plant species in Huajianji.
These pods have already grown pods, each containing 6-9 seeds, which can be used for sowing.
For diversity reasons, they collected 2-3 pods from different cloud fruits and put them into sampling bags.
At the same time, gently cut off a few tender branches that can be used for cuttings that year, and cut off some branches and leaves, preparing to take them back for cuttings to take roots.
Ye Han sprayed the cut branches with nutrient solution to keep them moist.
This is how it was originally saved, and there is nothing wrong with her doing so.
The few wild cloudberries that were picked were also cared for by plant nutrient solution and will grow more luxuriantly in the future.
Zhou Hang dug up some native soil and put it in an aluminum container, preparing to take it back and mix it according to the same proportion.
After entering the ecological zone, the first wild plant was collected.
"There are four or five large Azaleas in front." Zhou Hang motioned Ye Han to come over and take a look, and reminded: "Director, be careful, they are poisonous, don't touch them casually."
Azalea, also known as yellow azalea and yellow azalea, is a deciduous shrub of the genus Rhododendron and can grow up to 2 meters.
It contains toxins all over its body, especially its flowers and fruits. After eating them, livestock will be anesthetized, lose consciousness, or even "wander to death."
That’s where its name comes from.
But the flowers of Azalea have a kind of enchanting beauty. The flowers are golden yellow, with curled edges and slightly trumpet-shaped petals, and several upright stamens in the center. They are very soft and beautiful, and have a high appearance among rhododendrons.
Beauty is poisonous.
However, poisons have the same origin and can currently be used to make anesthetics, analgesics, and pesticides, and have high medicinal value.
Yellow azalea, Ye Han was planning to build a azalea garden, and now is the right time.
The two people put on gloves and masks respectively, selected two or three strong branches from different plants, took 6-10 cm as cutting samples, cut off the lower leaves, and left only a few small leafs at the top.
Then lightly spray with plant nutrient solution and place in the sampling bag.
Branches that have been separated from their mother plant will often lose activity due to lack of nutrition and water supply, but samples that have been sprayed with nutrient solution are very fresh and tender, and can be directly transplanted for cuttings after returning home.
Its fruiting season had passed, and Ye Han searched for a long time before finding a few dark brown capsules.
The outside has cracked and the seeds inside are shriveled and small. I don’t know if they can be successfully sown.
Wild rhododendrons are difficult to pollinate, have a very low fruit set rate, and are not easy to reproduce. Many varieties have now been listed as national second-level wild protected plants.
Ye Han sprayed some plant nutrient solution on the shriveled seeds, hoping that they could be successfully cultivated.
After that, Ye Han and his companion collected a lot of plants, totaling more than twenty species, including Rhododendron syringae, Cornus officinalis, Indigofera chinensis, etc. The flowers they bloomed were very beautiful and had ornamental value.
However, they have not seen a single nationally protected plant so far.
It seems that rare wild plant populations are indeed rare and their living environment faces huge threats.
After walking for nearly two hours, both of them were a little tired, so they sat on a large rock by the roadside to rest.
Ye Han saw two or three White-bellied Blue Flycatchers perched on a tree not far away. They had lake blue feathers covering their bodies and looked chubby and very cute.
They seemed to be looking at her as well, tilted their heads, and made two clear bird calls.
Her eyes narrowed unconsciously. No matter what, the environment here was extremely natural and intoxicating.
A pristine protected area that few people have ever visited.
After the rest, Ye Han and Zhou Hang continued forward with their backpacks on their backs.
Fortunately, both the cuttings and seeds are not heavy, otherwise I would be very tired.
They had just been going uphill, and now they were gradually going down from the height of the island. There would often be shallow depressions or even wet swamps around the road, so they had to be careful at all times.
To the front right was a small pond-like depression surrounded by bushes. But when the two approached, they were surprised to find that there was a national second-level protected plant growing here - water fern!
And there are quite a lot of them, growing into a large area in the depression.
"Be careful."
"Um."
The soil leading to the depression is loose and contains a small amount of silt. Fortunately, it is not a swamp environment, so there is no danger after detection.
Ye Han approached the pond little by little and saw this wild water fern.
They are ferns with upright rhizomes and fleshy leaves that grow in clusters like small deer antlers that branch upward. They are thin, light green, juicy and soft, and look very fresh and tender.
The plants here are not big, only about 30 centimeters, and the smaller ones are only a dozen centimeters, and they are scattered throughout this small pond.
Ye Han squatted down and counted them. There were more than 80 trees in total!
It is a small wild population.
Ye Han put on earplugs inconspicuously and used the golden finger on some of the trees.
Water Fern No. 3: "Shh, someone is coming."
Water Fern No. 5: "Someone is coming, hide quickly!"
Water Fern 11: "Why would anyone come? We are hiding very well."
Water Fern No. 20: "She's already here. I saw her. She's a very pretty older sister (﹃)"
Water Fern No. 5: "...What's the point of looking good? Be careful, they'll dig you up!"
Water Fern No. 20: "Wow, I don't want to be dug away, woowawawa——"
Ye Han sighed in his heart. It seemed that the environmental protection of wild protected plants was indeed not optimistic.
She gently touched the fleshy little leaf No. 20, which was like a newborn deer antler, soft and tender.
Water Fern No. 20 said in a shy voice: "Oh, beautiful big sister touched me, rub me."
Water Fern No. 5: "......"
This child is beyond help.
Zhou Hang came over from the other side and asked, "Director, shall we dig up a few plants and take them away?"
Ferns cannot be propagated by cuttings and can only be propagated by buds, spores or division, but the survival rate of wild species cannot be guaranteed.
Since ferns usually grow in large clusters, you can collect whole plants in areas with dense plants, as long as you report it.
Ye Han shook his head at him, "No, let's take some spores back."
Zhou Hang uttered an 'ah' and hesitated, "But——"
Ye Han: "It doesn't matter. If you can't survive, then think of other ways."
Zhou Hang: "Okay, Director."
He found a dozen plants that were growing relatively vigorously, carefully removed the spores from the old leaves, and put them into a collection bag.
Ye Han recorded the process and took several pictures, which will need to be submitted and uploaded when the time comes.
While the other party was collecting, she took advantage of the cover of the bushes to drop a drop of plant nutrient solution into the pond.
The water level in the pond quickly dropped by half a centimeter as the water ferns were desperately absorbing nutrients.
Water Fern No. 20's soft voice came: "Thank you, big sister, I like you so much. When I grow up, please dig me out. I want to follow you~"
Water Fern No. 8: "Tsk, you? If you want to dig, dig me. You are so small."
Water Fern No. 20 felt wronged: "Woo woo, I will grow up."
Ye Han curved his almond-shaped eyes, touched its small leaves again, and said softly: "I look forward to your growth, but you should stay with your tribe. I will contact the Forestry Bureau to protect you."
Water Fern No. 1: "Thank you very much. This is a suitable growth environment that we have finally found. I hope it will not be destroyed."
Ye Han: “No.”
Zhou Hang's voice came at this time: "Director, the collection is complete."
Ye Han stood up and said, "Okay. Check if there are any relevant reports. If not, we will submit the information to the Forestry Bureau as soon as we return."
Zhou Hang immediately took out his mobile phone to check. Although the signal was only two bars, fortunately he was able to log into the webpage.
"Director, I've searched, but there's nothing." He said excitedly, "We are the first to discover wild water ferns in W City!"
And it's not just a few plants, it's a large area.
It is of great significance both for the study of species diversity and the protection of wild plants in W City.
Ye Han looked at this patch of water ferns and believed that in a few years they would grow into a larger wild population.
Afterwards, the two found more than a dozen wild Chinese isoetes near another shallow pond.
Chinese water isoetes, as the name suggests, looks very much like leeks.
Don’t underestimate it, it is an endangered species unique to my country, one of the first-class wild protected plants announced by the country, and is known as the giant panda of the plant world.
It is rated as endangered in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, so its value is unquestionable.
Ye Han took the photo first.
However, it is located near a shallow pond and it is uncertain whether it is dangerous.
Ye Han: "System, can you help determine the risk?"
System: "Okay host."
It's just a piece of cake for it.
After scanning the terrain, the system quickly plans a safe route.
Ye Han pointed to the front left: "Let's go around from there."
The two men passed from the other side, using branches to explore and landed just on the outskirts of the shallow swamp.
Fortunately, this is a shallow water area formed by accumulated water on the island, rather than a large swamp outside, otherwise it would be very dangerous.
Even so, the two still did not dare to take it lightly.
After picking several megasporangia from the outer leaves of Isoetes sinensis, they quickly left the area.
We collected nearly twenty species of wild plants, and the sampling bags in our backpack were almost used up.
Ye Han looked at the time on his phone. It was 2 p.m. and they had been on the island for five hours. They were very tired and both of them felt a little exhausted.
Zhou Hang used a thick branch as a hiking stick. He was so tired and out of breath that he just wanted to rest.
On the other hand, Ye Han was in better condition than him, at least he didn't use a "crutch".
Zhou Hang: “…”
This time, he didn't seem to leave a good impression on the director.
Such a great opportunity, but he wasted it.
On the way back, Ye Han accidentally discovered five or six golden dog ferns growing in the ditch under the tree.
This fern has a very strange appearance. The base of its thick rhizome is covered with golden hairs that are more than 10 centimeters long and appear in wet clumps, like the hair of a golden retriever.
The name is very appropriate.
The leaves growing on top of it are very large, shaped like two rows of mimosa leaves lined up together, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, with slightly pointed tips.
Zhou Hang took it and measured it. The longest piece was 120 centimeters long. He didn't expect it to grow so lushly. It was really rare.
The golden dog fern is a national second-level protected plant. Because of its peculiar shape, it was once illegally harvested and sold, and is now rarely seen.
This was also the first time Ye Han saw this plant.
She used Gold Finger on one of them.
Golden Dog Fern: "Woof, woof, woof."
Ye Han: “…”
Golden Fern: "Have I learned it well?"
Ye Han hummed softly.
Golden Fern: "Oh, why am I not a dog? Then every time someone wants to dig me up, I can run away."
Ye Han was silent for a moment.
Plants are indeed at a disadvantage in this regard. They cannot make sounds or be cute, and are not as popular as animals and can not interact with humans.
Moreover, they cannot move, and even if they encounter a crisis, they can only be slaughtered.
Golden Fern: "But I think my golden retriever looks better, what do you think?"
Ye Han praised: "It's really beautiful."
Golden Dog Fern: "Hey, at least I won't lose color."
Ye Han also laughed.
They collected the tubers of the golden dog fern by dividing the plants. Looking at the clusters of golden hairs, Ye Han felt his heart soften.
She sprayed a large amount of nutrient solution on the native golden dog fern to promote the rooting of the original tubers and the healing of the incisions. Zhou Hang also helped to apply wood ash to them to promote the growth and absorption of the tubers.
Today’s harvest is great.
Ye Han looked at the full sampling bags in his backpack, drank the remaining mineral water, and asked the chartered cruise ship to pick them up as soon as possible.
It's getting late, covering my face.
