Jinjiang genuine 29
Dr. Hou and his colleague perfectly reached a cooperation agreement between the institute and Huajianji, and secured the institute's two most precious new varieties for the latter. After obtaining Ye Han's permission, he did not hesitate in collecting them.
He had long set his sights on this rare giant water lily and happily directed his two assistants to take samples.
Victoria amazonica is worthy of being called the 'king of aquatic flowers'. It bears fruit in September. The ripe fruits contain hundreds of seeds, with an astonishing yield and are edible.
However, this Victoria amazonica is so rare that all its seeds must have been preserved without a single one left.
After the Victoria amazonica blossomed, Ye Han put a breathable white net bag under the flower stalks that were about to fall. When the fruits ripened and fell off, they would just fall into the net bag and he could collect them perfectly.
After getting it, she counted it and found that there were more than 700 seeds on this Victoria amazonica plant, an astonishing number.
Dr. Hou was pleasantly surprised when he saw it. Such a large number is truly rare, and it further proves the excellent quality of this Victoria amazonica.
He carefully selected 100 seeds and asked two graduate students to wear waterproof clothing and, with the help of Huajianji staff, pick the "small balls" from the underground rhizomes of Victoria amazonica.
"You must be careful. When collecting, try to stay away from the roots and be careful... Hey, go slower, go slower, pay attention to your technique..."
Dr. Hou walked back and forth on the shore, giving orders anxiously, and he seemed to be eager to go into the water himself.
These small balls are separated from the mother plant and have the mother's genes, which is the simplest method of reproduction.
As long as the technique is correct and certain maintenance is performed after removal, the body will not be damaged.
The seeds are the natural reproduction of Victoria regia and are the offspring of the mother plant.
Both modes of reproduction are essential.
To complete the most important part, Dr. Hou also asked them to collect leaf samples, rhizome samples, and wilting pedicels from the giant Victoria amazonica, water samples from the artificial lake, and samples from other Victoria amazonica for comparison...it can be said that none of them were left out.
The two graduate students were busy and sweating profusely. After collecting all the samples, they were so tired that they could hardly straighten their backs.
The samples they extracted amounted to dozens in total, making it the most detailed one ever.
Dr. Wang went to the warehouse of Huajianji.
He carefully sprayed water on the two selected lotus pods to keep the surface moist, then carefully wrapped them with plastic wrap and sealed them in the refrigerator he carried with him.
Lotus seeds also need to be taken.
According to previous discussions, he could take away two lotus pods and one-fifth of the lotus seeds.
Each double-headed lotus pod has about 50 lotus seeds, and 6 pods have nearly 300 seeds, so he needs to pick 60.
With the attitude of striving for perfection, Dr. Wang carefully selected each one with gloves on, constantly comparing them, peeling one to look at it and putting it down, then picking it up again after a while, over and over again.
It took two hours to finish picking.
Dr. Wang looked up from the table, his eyes a little bloodshot: "Sorry, I have a little obsessive-compulsive disorder."
The main thing was that these lotus seeds were all plump and round. He couldn't be sure after picking them out, so he just made up his mind and chose blindly.
Otherwise I don’t know when to pick one.
Ye Han smiled faintly: "...It's okay, I understand."
But I was thinking: The researchers are really patient.
If it were her, she would definitely not have the patience.
By the time the two doctors and their assistants finished sampling, it was already completely dark.
This trip was very fruitful and almost all the sampling bags we brought were used.
Dr. Hou looked at Ye Han, hesitant to speak, but finally put aside his pride and said, "Well, the last time I came here, I saw that the succulents in the greenhouse were growing very well. Can we pick some leaves and take them back for leaf cuttings to propagate?"
Ye Han: “…”
She thought about the situation of succulents and said, "That's fine. If researchers need it, they can take some of the branches away for scientific research."
After two leaf cuttings, the succulent pots have grown from the initial 100 to more than 400 pots, filling the glass greenhouse. Once you enter it, it feels like you have walked into a real succulent kingdom, with succulents blooming everywhere you look.
With other potted plants as embellishments, there are about 500 pots of plants cultivated in the glass greenhouse. If there are more, it would seem a bit crowded.
In this case, it would be better to allocate some resources to the research institute and build good relationships.
After getting permission, the two doctors left with smiles on their faces and rich 'trophies'. Huajianji is also about to welcome two precious new species.
Water lilies are roughly divided into two categories: tropical water lilies and cold-resistant water lilies.
Ye Han had previously introduced tropical water lilies, such as the Egyptian blue water lily, the Indian red water lily, etc., which bloom from June to September. When the weather is colder in November, they will enter a dormant period, and the wintering temperature cannot be lower than 10 degrees, otherwise they will be frozen to death.
As the name suggests, the cold-resistant water lily has better cold resistance and can survive the winter in temperatures above 0 degrees. A short freezing period will not affect its vitality.
But whether it is tropical water lily or cold-resistant water lily, it needs a suitable temperature to bloom, about 15-25 degrees.
The temperature in September is just right now. When the weather gets colder, it is best to put them in a greenhouse, which can extend the flowering period and be more conducive to their survival.
When the experts from the institute arrived, they focused on testing the water quality of the artificial lake.
Water lilies need to live in an environment with clean water, suitable temperature, sufficient sunlight and good ventilation, otherwise it will affect its condition.
Even during the growing season, liquid fertilizer should not be used. Instead, dry cake fertilizer should be buried in the soil to avoid polluting the water.
In short, water quality and temperature are very important.
The test is simple, it is performed using professional tools and the results are available on the spot.
However, the test results surprised the two experts.
Because the water is so clear and clean, it is no exaggeration to say that it has reached the standard of drinking water.
After testing, the TDS (total dissolved solids, mg/L) in the artificial lake is <50. The domestic tap water standard is TDS <1000, and in most areas it is between 200-300.
The higher the TDS value, the more impurities the water contains.
The TDS of the artificial lake is less than 50, which means it is extremely pure, almost reaching the level of mineral water.
If it was the pool at the entrance, it would be fine, after all, the water volume is small and the water can be changed frequently; but this is an artificial lake with a capacity of tens of thousands of tons. It is really rare for such a huge body of water to remain so clean.
Not to mention water lilies, any aquatic creature would love this environment.
At the same time, they were also amazed by the temperature control system and light control in the glass greenhouse. Such a favorable environment must be able to meet the growth needs of orchids.
After a series of evaluations, the ecological environment of Huajianji far exceeded the two experts' expectations.
When they heard that an exhibition greenhouse was being built here, they were even more shocked.
Oh my God, a private botanical garden that has just been open for two months is going to build a 2,000-square-meter greenhouse?
What a big deal.
The two experts really didn't expect that a private botanical garden would have such courage and financial resources.
I believe there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.
On the second day, 100 plants of the cold-resistant water lily 'Canjin' and 5 plants of the precious 'Central African Comet Orchid' officially moved into Huajianji.
Among the 100 high-quality water lilies, except for 4-5 mature ones, the other 90 or so are just rhizomes with new buds. They need to be covered with soil and planted first before they can be gradually moved into the artificial lake and exhibition greenhouse.
As for the five 'Central African Comet Orchids', Ye Han specially made room in the glass greenhouse and built a special room for them. After the exhibition greenhouse is built, they will be moved into the greenhouse and carefully cultivated.
Expert Guo Yuanjiu told Ye Han about the precautions for orchid cultivation: "These Central African Comet Orchids are grandchildren of the 'Darwin Orchid'. They have improved the characteristics of the original epiphytic orchids that grew on tree trunks or rocks. They do not require wooden stakes and can be grown directly in pots.
Its flower spur is not as long as that of the Darwin orchid, which makes it easier for pollination and, in some ways, has a higher chance of survival.”
"But this orchid is very sensitive to temperature and humidity. The temperature must be kept above 25 degrees Celsius all year round, and the humidity must be kept above 80%, otherwise it will not survive.
I suggest you install a temperature and humidity detector next to the flower pot and adjust it accordingly according to the temperature and humidity."
"When watering, pay attention to the amount. Don't water too much, as too much will make the orchid grow poorly and the roots will rot easily. Don't spray the core of the leaves, as it will easily cause rot. Humidity below 70% is also not good, as the leaves will easily curl, turn yellow and dry..."
Guo Yuanjiu explained everything in detail, obviously not reassured: "If you want it to bloom, you must first provide it with enough nutrients. This process often takes several years, and you need to be patient enough...
In short, orchids are very delicate and must be taken good care of."
Ye Han had already seen the relevant introduction in the materials and memorized it skillfully, but he still nodded frequently when the other party was explaining and listened very carefully, which made Guo Yuanjiu very satisfied.
This kind of attitude is required to grow orchids: be humble, patient, not arrogant or impatient, and always maintain a good state of mind. Otherwise, it is easy to give up halfway, and the orchid will not survive due to poor care.
well.
Orchids are indeed delicate and difficult to grow, and the same is true for orchids in the wild.
In the national protected plant list, the orchid family is the most numerous.
All species of the genus Orchid are Class II protected plants and above; except for Paphiopedilum striata and Paphiopedilum sclerophyllum, which are Class II protected plants, all other species of the genus Paphiopedilum are Class I protected plants in China......
Today, the country has completely banned the collection of wild orchids and has taken various measures to protect their living space.
Thinking of this, Guo Yuanjiu couldn't help but feel emotional.
Fortunately, the introduction, domestication and hybridization of wild orchids have been ongoing, and botanical gardens have been built one after another, working together to ensure the continuation of their genes. Some precious new varieties have now been successfully cultivated.
Everything will get better slowly.
I hope Huajianji can take good care of these precious orchids so that their genes can be passed on.
[Congratulations to the host for completing Advanced Task 3: Open the park within 15 days and reach an average daily flow of more than 800 people within two months after opening. The task completion rate is 185%.
Mission Reward: Perform a comprehensive upgrade of the drainage and irrigation system in the park. Please claim the reward on the light screen panel. 】
Ye Han had just placed the new varieties of plants he had introduced when he heard the system prompt that the task was completed.
She was checking the moisture of the comet orchid soil and looked a little stunned when she heard this.
Yes, two months have passed since the park opened on July 26.
So many things happened in these two months.
From the publicity of Huajianji taking effect and the gradual fermentation of word-of-mouth, to the explosion of the Twin Lotus, the flow of people soared and had to take flow control measures; to the system successively releasing two new tasks, and then introducing various flowers and plants, submitting applications for the relocation of ancient trees and protection of plants, receiving inspection groups, and reaching cooperation with the research institute...
Every day was so full that she didn't have time to check the task time.
Fortunately, hard work always pays off.
Ye Han was in a good mood as he received his reward on the light screen.
She was very excited when she first saw the mission reward, and now it has finally been achieved.
The drainage and irrigation system is the essence of the botanical garden. No plant can live without water irrigation. The garden currently uses the old irrigation method without any automated facilities.
Not to mention the waste of water resources, the irrigation amount for trees is uneven and the pump pressure is not strong, which requires a lot of manpower for irrigation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The water supply and drainage pipes in the park also need to be repaired urgently, otherwise they will cause pollution and blockage; there is also the discharge of accumulated water in the park after rain, the circulation of artificial lake water, the laying of direct drinking water pipelines, etc.... It is definitely a big project when combined.
She couldn't help but look forward to the system upgrade.
After clicking to receive, W04 appears and starts printing miniature robots at an invisible speed.
Ye Han wasn't sure how many copies it had printed, but it must have been a lot.
The printed robots looked like water drops falling from the sky. They were translucent in color and bounced gently when they landed on the ground. They rolled around her and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Looks lovely.
Ye Han squatted down and observed, poking it with his fingers from time to time.
When you first touch it, it is soft, similar to the touch of gummy candy, soft, sticky and chewy; but once you apply force, it will harden and change color, it's magical.
Systems: “They are called [fluid robots] and they can change into a variety of shapes and have a variety of functions.
Now they are cleaning the pipes, ‘eating’ the waste inside the pipes and converting it into new materials, cleaning and strengthening the existing pipes.”
Ye Han stood up and followed them out curiously.
Since the pipes are laid underground, the effects cannot be detected, but the system is constantly updating the progress and the cleaning speed is amazing.
When the cleaning progress reached 100%, Ye Han saw "water drops" emerging one after another from the cracks in the ground. Under the sunlight, they looked like rolling dewdrops, crystal clear.
However, the next second, they changed from a round state to flat, stretching into a thin film that extended infinitely on the lawn, using the expanded area to absorb solar energy and convert energy.
At the same time, the dome of the glass greenhouse lifted up, and the strong light accumulated over the past few days turned into countless beams of light, shining on the unfolded "light panels" like the sun.
The golden, scorching light was extremely intense, a hundred times stronger than sunlight. It was reflected and absorbed by them one by one, and the energy of the water droplets suddenly became abundant.
This is...an extremely shocking scene.
Ye Han couldn't help but look up, and for a moment he was blinded by the bright light. He quickly closed his eyes and covered his eyes with his arms.
Fortunately, the deformed film of the 'water droplets' continued to extend upwards, forming an extremely huge sphere that completely wrapped up the glass greenhouse, blocking and absorbing all the light, and not letting a single ray of the dazzling light leak out.
Not long after, a large amount of water droplets seeped into the soil and disappeared.
Ye Han looked at the dome that had returned to normal and thought of the scene just now, feeling a little dazed.
That feeling... was like a dream.
WO4 cooperated to print out new pipeline materials, which were transported and built by the "water droplets" with extremely high efficiency.
The system continuously reports progress: "50% of the new pipeline has been laid, and a well-connected pipeline system is about to be built."
In just one day, the cleaning and laying of pipes in Huajianji were completed, and a huge irrigation network was built throughout the entire botanical garden 10 meters underground in the soil. It connects the roots of each tree like a neural network, providing the most effective water delivery and irrigation for each plant.
This is more efficient than any irrigation system and can be accurate to every milliliter of water.
It is estimated that thousands of tons of water will be saved throughout the year.
The automatic detection system can autonomously identify the water shortage status of plants, collect rainwater and underground hot spring water for filtration and irrigation, and no manual maintenance is required.
It greatly saves manpower and material resources.
Ye Han opened the interface of the irrigation system, and a three-dimensional model of the botanical garden appeared in front of her, which was exactly a miniature version of the botanical garden.
Through this model, she can detect the condition of each plant and provide real-time care.
It's so convenient.
Ye Han once again marveled at the magic of Galaxy Technology.
Not only that, the employees found that the visitor center had newly added direct drinking water equipment, and there was a similar one downstairs in the dormitory building.
Liu Yi was the first to discover it in the morning and asked in confusion: "When was this filled? Did you drink it directly?"
"Very smart, it can also automatically select the temperature?"
It is similar to the combination of a modern wall-mounted water purifier and a pipeline machine. Ye Han specially made it in this style so as not to arouse suspicion.
Ye Han said calmly: "You can drink it. Yesterday a salesman recommended installing a water purifier. I thought it was a good idea, so I installed two."
Liu Yi once again felt that the director was wealthy, but after so many days, she had gotten used to it.
I used a cup to collect room temperature water and tasted it: "Wow, it's a little sweet, delicious."
Is this the purified water? It tastes much better than bottled water. It tastes like clear mountain spring water. Even my throat feels much more comfortable after drinking it.
Even someone like her who didn't like drinking water drank a large glass.
Liu Yi's eyes lit up: "Director, what brand is this water purifier? I want to buy one for my parents. How much is it?"
She hasn't spent much money in the two months since she came to Huajianji, and has saved more than 10,000 yuan, so she should be able to afford it.
Ye Han: “…”
Just as she lowered her eyes to think about how to answer, Liu Yi seemed to understand something.
Liu Yi: "Oh, I see. It must be very expensive, right? If it's very expensive, forget it."
The director seems to have never bought anything cheap.
The filtered water tastes so good, it must have cost a lot of money.
She got another glass of water and went back to her room.
Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise it would be difficult for her to explain.
However, the filtered water does have a slightly sweet taste, especially for making tea. Even ordinary tea can be brewed to have a high-end taste, and the tea soup is clear and has its own fragrance.
When Huajianji opens a tea shop, it should become a major feature.
After communicating and cooperating with the research institute and introducing two precious new varieties, Ye Han successfully harvested two S-level plants.
Including the 'Zhuangyuanhong' osmanthus fragrans that are undergoing migration protection and the fine-leaved Epiphyllum that is more than 2 meters tall, the current mission achievement rate is 80%.
Originally, Ye Han did not consider Epiphyllum, but when he carefully thought about the S-level judging criteria, he suddenly felt that it was feasible.
The small-leaf Epiphyllum (fine-leaf Epiphyllum) is a relatively rare variety of Epiphyllum. The most common one is the large-leaf Epiphyllum, and a height of more than 2 meters is also very rare. At least she has never seen an Epiphyllum that is bigger and older than it.
Maybe, but definitely not many.
Taking all the characteristics into consideration, the species of Epiphyllum just meets the criteria for being an S-level plant.
After genetic testing, the system also acknowledged this fact.
The main thing is that this Epiphyllum is really well maintained. The number of flowers it bloomed last year was also astonishing, which is not comparable to ordinary Epiphyllums.
Ye Han believes that it will bloom more flowers this year and completely amaze the tourists passing by.
Currently, there is only one missing from the five S-level plants, and this one has already been found.
Just two days ago, the S City Botanical Garden in the province applied for cooperation with Huajianji, and exchanged the world water lily champion - "Wan Weisha" for the Victoria amazonica.
The two places are very close to each other and can be seen immediately.
"Wanweisa" is a cold-zone water lily, cultivated by Thai and Japanese water lily experts, and the number of varieties is very limited.
At the annual meeting and new variety evaluation conference of the International Water Lily and Waterscape Horticulture Association held a few years ago, it won two titles: the cold-resistant water lily new variety champion and the water lily new variety overall champion, overwhelming the whole audience.
"Vanvisa" is known as the versatile princess among water lilies. Its characteristic is that its flower colors are extremely changeable, and there is a certain probability that it will appear in two colors, that is, half yellow and half red. ①
Ye Han was very much looking forward to its arrival.
I'm about to go to the hero's place, wait a minute. The heroine is so busy, 23333.
Note 1: Wan Weisha excerpted from the Internet.
