It took ten days to plant all five hundred thousand locust trees.
Qu Ji Cidan looked at these sand-grown locust trees, feeling both anticipation and apprehension in his heart.
Although there are not many 500,000 sand-grown locust trees, but they are planted on the river beach, but they are also stretched over a stretch, which is very spectacular.
Qu Ji Cidan couldn't help but think that if these sand-grown locust trees can grow up in the future, then this river beach will be equal to the success of replanting.
"I hope that these sand-born locust trees can really grow like what Mr. Chen and Dean Anar said!"
Qu Ji Cidan said to himself secretly.
For these sandy locust trees, he "paid" a lot back and forth.
First, he made a promise to Na Cairen of the party that if these sand-growing locust trees were not alive, he would not be the head of procurement.
Then he promised Luo Ying that if these sand-grown locust trees were not viable, he would settle the remaining 250,000 seedling funds by himself.
Therefore, he has already carried a heavy burden on his body, all because of the sand.
He really hoped that the sand-grown locust trees would grow well, so that they could contribute to their swollen sand control cause.
As the days passed, Qu Ji Cidan led the herdsmen to do a day's work and was about to leave the river beach.
Every time he leaves, he asks the driver to go around to the river beach where the locust tree is planted, which has become his habit.
Today he came near the river beach and asked the driver to park the car on the side of the national road. He jumped out of the car and walked towards the river beach.
After walking a few steps, I saw a few people squatting around those sand trees from a distance, and they didn't know what they were doing.
Qu Ji Cidan frowned, and hurriedly quickened his pace, wanting to see who these people were and what they were doing.
But after getting closer, he realized that these people were actually researchers from the Forestry Research Institute, and Luo Ying was among them.
"Researcher Luo, what are you doing?"
Qu Jici once said hello, the researcher turned to look at him, they all waved for a while, and then buried their heads in observing the locust tree they were surrounded by.
Qu Ji Cidan approached and heard one of the researchers say: "This one seems to be different from the ordinary sand-grown locust tree. Although the branches and leaves of the plant are indeed similar, many physiological characteristics have changed a bit."
Another researcher dug the soil with his hands, pulled out the rhizomes of Sophora japonica, pointed to the small nodes on it, and said, "Look here, these root nodes are really dense, which is definitely not the case for ordinary Sophora japonica."
"Such characteristics are more conducive to their growth. They may survive because of these root nodes in winter and spring, and they will grow back when the weather is hotter."
Luo Ying looked at the densely packed root joints, and couldn't help pulling more sandy beaches with her hands, pulling out more root joints inside.
The previous researcher said again: "I think it's more than that.
These root nodes grow very deep, and they have grown to such a scale just over ten days after planting, which shows that their rhizomes are particularly developed.
According to the physiological characteristics, these root nodes should be easy to break and grow, that is to say, they have a strong self-reproduction ability, and they will grow more and more. "
"Yes, look at this."
Another researcher gently rubbed the node with his hand, and it was easily broken into two parts: "It's really easy to break off, and then these broken root nodes will soon grow new ones, becoming into a new independent entity."
The other researchers looked at the severed root joint, and all sighed, only Qu Jicidan was very distressed.
Seeing a well-grown locust tree dug up like this, and even breaking its roots, he felt really uncomfortable.
If it weren't for his respect for the researchers in front of him, he would have wanted to scold them and tell them to bury these roots back in the soil.
Luo Ying said again: "Now I don't know what the ability of these sand-born locust trees is like."
Judging from the growth of the rhizomes of these sandy locust trees, the ability to protect and stabilize water and soil is beyond doubt, and the reproductive ability is also very strong.
The only question now is whether they can survive the harsh winter on the plateau and grow and survive year after year.
"These burrs and capsule leaves are very good for their cold resistance, I think they should be able to carry it down."
One of the researchers touched the fine hairs on the stems and leaves with his hands, and said, "It seems that these things seem to combine the genetic characteristics of some plateau plants, and they are not quite like sandy locust trees."
They are all people who study agriculture, and the researchers are very clear that whether a plant can resist cold does not simply depend on the characteristics of the plant's appearance, but also depends on the metabolic functions of various substances inside the organism.
These involve a lot of cutting-edge technical things, which cannot be researched by them in a short time. Perhaps only the forestry company called Muya will know the secrets.
"It doesn't matter, as far as the current situation is concerned, the situation is still very good. Let's wait and see how it will turn out after the winter!"
Luo Ying is the leader of all the researchers. She slowly stood up from the ground and stretched her hands and feet again.
There is a lack of oxygen on the plateau. After squatting on the ground for a long time, you have to stand up slowly so that your body can adapt and there will be no problems.
Several other researchers began to study the poor locust tree in a hurry, recorded a lot of data and other things, and then buried the rhizome of the locust tree.
Qu Ji Cidan watched from the side, and the discomfort in his heart finally eased a lot.
He already felt a little obsessive-compulsive disorder. If he didn't watch the researchers bury the rhizomes of Sophora japonica, he would feel uncomfortable all night, and he wouldn't leave even if he said nothing.
Seeing that Luo Ying was free, Qu Ji Cidan couldn't help asking: "Researcher Luo, how is the situation, can these sand-grown locust trees survive?"
Luo Ying nodded: "From the current point of view, it should be ok, um, mainly for the winter, as long as you can survive the winter, you should be fine."
Qu Ji Cidan pursed her lips, still feeling a little uneasy.
He is a native Tibetan, and he knows how hard the winter in Tibet is.
At the coldest time, not to mention people and animals, even plants will freeze to death, and there is no grass left.
After winter, spring comes, and the snow water on the snow mountain will melt again. At that time, it is still the same cold, because the temperature of the snow water itself is very low, and when it flows on the land, many plants cannot withstand the snow water. water.
Although Qu Ji Cidan had heard from Anar that Mu Ya's sand-grown locust trees could withstand the watering of snow water, he was still a little uncertain, after all, he knew very well how low the temperature of snow water was.
Usually, if an animal falls into snow water, it will freeze to death in less than a minute. It's not a joke at all.
These sand-grown locust trees... can they really survive
