This type of plant is collectively called "Desert XX".
For example, desert trees, desert flowers, desert grass, and so on.
For example, the desert red flower, the desert evergreen tree, the desert breadfruit tree...
Almost all of them are desert themes.
As the name suggests, these plants are all grown in the desert.
It has to be sand, otherwise it won't grow well.
It can only be said that in the universe, deserts are probably not a problem, and these plants are developed to modify the environment.
Feifei was still lamenting, "If there were no desert, what couldn't we do with such a large piece of land?"
"At most, we'll leave a small plot of land for tourism development, just to let people know that there used to be such a place."
"Combating the desert feels like a long and arduous task..."
Liu Yun nodded in agreement.
Song Xingfei: "So, environmental protection isn't just about the ocean; it's everywhere."
"However, our country's air quality has been improving in the past year. Could it really be related to car fuel?"
Over the past year, there have been fewer and fewer gasoline cars. In a couple of years, people may hardly remember what a gasoline car looks like.
Liu Yun: "There is a connection, but not entirely."
The most devastating thing is that thermal power generation has disappeared.
This matter should have been completely forgotten.
The general public is simply unaware of this; they only know that electricity prices have been reduced several times and are becoming increasingly cheaper.
Song Xingfei said she would donate money to environmental protection last time, and she did donate.
Even if it were truly usable, no amount of money would be enough; the treatment technology is simply inadequate, and the costs are far too high.
Fei Fei and Song Xingfei enjoyed another meal of Chef Li's cooking before leaving, while Liu Yun looked at Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan's spirits lifted. What new technology had come out yet?
"senior?"
Liu Yun: "How about desertification control? There are some desert-growing seeds that can mature in one or two months. If planted now, the desert can be transformed into a lush forest in about half a year."
"In about six months, the soil and terrain of the desert will be completely changed. What can't we do then?"
If you want to cut it down, cut it down; change the soil to something else; and do some research to see if you can plant something else.
Or you can fix something.
Although she was somewhat prepared, Xie Xuan was still taken aback and instinctively asked, "Is there anything edible?"
"One-year-old? Can't we keep it existing without cutting it off?"
Liu Yun glanced at the desert series in the store. "Yes, there are many edible ones. Of course, they can always exist. However, some varieties don't perform well after the soil changes. They may not grow well or have reduced yields."
"For places that require long-term planting plans, we need to think about this carefully."
"By the way, there are also some trees that can collect and create water. If planned well, they can turn the desert into an oasis. At that time, it might really be possible to graze livestock."
Desert organic milk?
That's not something you can squeeze with your hands, is it?
Many years later, the word "desert" might be the only thing that will be valuable.
Xie Xuan acted quickly, but the government acted even faster; the very next day, a related company was established.
Knowing that Liu Yun disliked meeting outsiders and was unwilling to reveal too much, Xie Xuan personally delivered the seeds and a large amount of information to the capital.
The newly established research group already has many leading figures in botany and agriculture waiting to join.
Seeing Xie Xuan was like seeing a precious treasure; their eyes lit up, and they wished they could just grab her.
Putting everything else aside, Xie Xuan has a dedicated person to receive her, and the experts have already started assigning tasks with the seeds.
The information is shared so that everyone can access it.
"The most important thing about these plants is that they grow quickly. Desert-like geological conditions are the best for their growth. In fact, some plants don't grow well outside of such environments," Xie Xuan said with great emotion, sharing what she knew.
"The experiment should yield results soon, and if all goes well, the buds should sprout tomorrow."
She knew that she would definitely have to conduct experiments first.
Data is data; we still need to conduct experiments to understand the characteristics of plants.
We also need to study the cells and genes of these new species, as they may have applications elsewhere.
It's not just about improving the environment or consuming food.
At the very least, we must prevent the invasion of alien species; we cannot allow the original food chain to be disrupted.
"Are there many edible specimens? How well do they survive in this non-desert geological environment?" A middle-aged man next to me was taking notes.
Xie Xuan looked over, but her gaze didn't fall on the middle-aged man; instead, it went to the old man next to him.
The elderly man sat in a wheelchair, receiving an IV drip, but his eyes were fixed on the instruments in front of the other research leaders.
Hearing the middle-aged man speak, he turned around, smiled gently at Xie Xuan, and nodded.
Xie Xuan was excited and stood up abruptly, her back ramrod straight: "Hello, sir. There are many things that can be used as food. It is said that because of the sunlight and temperature difference, the edible parts taste quite good."
"The specifics will only become clear after actual planting."
In the Great Yan Kingdom, edibility is far more important than any other function.
The middle-aged man who asked the question smiled and said, "These plants seem to have a strong vitality; perhaps they're helpful for cell activity..."
The old man waved his hand: "This isn't that important."
The middle-aged man looked nervous, watching the experts quickly conduct their research, eager to get accurate results and data immediately.
The old man dedicated his entire life to the Yan Kingdom, ensuring that its people had enough to eat, but they could not stop his aging body.
