Chapter 341 Desertification Control Ideas
In the laboratory, the research on myocarditis is going well. The publication of nine papers has caused a sensation in China and the whole world. It is the biggest breakthrough in the field of heart disease in the past ten years.

In particular, the model Qin Yuanqing worked out has amazed researchers in related fields and received rave reviews.

Even during this period, based on the model and 9 papers, hundreds of papers on this aspect suddenly appeared all over the world, which made many researchers happy.

Now the specific drugs are manufactured by the laboratory, and then the joint research institute and the hospital have officially launched the first phase of clinical trials, and this phase of clinical trials will be very long, and sufficient volunteers are needed to accumulate enough test samples and Data, otherwise, it can only be done step by step and developed step by step.

The breakthrough results achieved by the myocarditis research group are an exciting encouragement for the life laboratory, and every research and development staff is full of enthusiasm for research.

"How is it? Is there any progress in the research on desert greening vegetation?" Qin Yuanqing came to the drought-resistant vegetation research group and asked with concern.

After going to the Loess Plateau and witnessing the harsh environment there, Qin Yuanqing always had a sense of mission, that is to change the appearance of the Loess Plateau and the desert, and expand the living space of China.

Once the Loess Plateau and deserts are covered with vegetation, it will not only help improve the climate conditions, but also improve people's living environment.

In history, the Hetao Corridor, the Eight Hundred Li Plain in Guanzhong, and Guanlong were the foundations of the king and hegemony, but looking at the current Guanzhong, there is no such thing as the foundation of the hegemony, and food self-sufficiency cannot be achieved.

"Director Qin, we suggest setting up a laboratory in Long Province or Western Region Province, which will be helpful for research!" The leader of the desert greening team is Xie Daoxin, 52 years old, and his main research fields are plant molecular genetics, biochemistry, functional genome and protein Using omics and other methods to study protein degradation pathways and the mechanism of plant hormones regulating plant growth, development and resistance.

In 2005, he was funded by the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars. Since 2006, he has been the responsible professor of the "Centennial Plan" of Shuimu University. He is a rare talent introduced by Shuimu University.Qin Yuanqing also spent a lot of effort to dig it out after arguing with Shi Yigong.

"That's no problem. You draw up a plan to see if you want to cooperate with relevant local units or we will directly build a research structure, and you need to list the coordinating units." Qin Yuanqing nodded and said.

Since it is necessary to study drought-resistant vegetation and improve the appearance of the Loess Plateau and deserts, it is best to establish scientific research sites in the local area and engage in scientific research work, which is most practical.

"Director Qin, these are the places we have selected. Take a look. The most important thing now is that we need to provide [-] mu of land for our scientific research." Xie Daoxin handed the printed materials to Qin Yuanqing. Obviously, they also did it before. A lot of corresponding work.

"I'll take this information back and have a look, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow." Qin Yuanqing saw that the information was still very thick, so he didn't read the information directly, but said.

I spent a day in the two laboratories to understand the situation of related research topics and see if there were any problems that I could solve by myself.

Back home, Qin Yuanqing looked at the information carefully. Xie Daoxin and the others chose five places in total, namely Western Region Province, Long Province, Ningxia, Shaanxi, and Shanxi.

After all, the purpose of the project research is to develop a vegetation that is particularly resistant to drought, has a low water storage capacity and can fix sand, so that after improvement, it can be transformed into desertification.

The Northwest area is generally a place with dry climate and little rainfall. Normally, the vegetation in other places is not suitable for planting in these areas, because the rainfall is too little and there is not enough water for irrigation.

Huaxia has naturally produced many achievements in the Sanlin Project for so many years, and it is obvious that relying on these achievements to control desertification is not enough.

In the end, Qin Yuanqing chose Laowei County, because Laowei County is located in the central part of Longzhou Province, at the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor, at the junction of Gansu, Ningxia and Mongolia provinces (regions), with a total area of ​​5483 square kilometers and a temperate arid climate.It is just in the transition zone between the Loess Plateau and the Tengger Desert, and there is a large area of ​​Gobi Desert.

However, the specifics have to be investigated in person. Qin Yuanqing is also a person who pursues high efficiency. After finalizing the location, he immediately took a whole group of researchers and Yan Ning to Naowei County.

"Academician Qin, welcome to you and your team!" The local leader who got the news went to the airport to pick him up in person.

"Mr. Liu, our visit this time is mainly for scientific research. At present, the initial choice is Laowei County. I wonder if Mr. Liu can arrange for a staff member who is familiar with the local area to take us to inspect Laowei County." Qin Yuanqing and this The leaders shook hands and directly explained their intentions.

"Academician Qin, you are asking the right person. I have worked in Laowei County for 20 years and know the local situation best. This time I will personally lead the team and take you to investigate." Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Speaking of which period of time is very unforgettable for me, it's a pity that I have no ability to lead everyone out of the predicament."

Qin Yuanqing did not expect that this leader had worked in Naowei County for 20 years, so it would be easy.

Qin Yuanqing declined Mr. Liu's arrangement for a rest at the guest house. The group set off for Laowei County before. As soon as they exited the intersection of the expressway, all the leadership team of Laowei County greeted them at the intersection of the expressway.Qin Yuanqing was a little helpless, the news from the local government was not generally well-informed.

But it was already noon, and everyone hadn't eaten, so Qin Yuanqing didn't refuse the reception from the Naowei County Government. He rested at the county hotel at noon and in the county government meeting room in the afternoon to learn about the situation in Naowei County.

The more I look at it, the more I feel that the geographical location and climatic conditions of Yuwei County are very suitable. Except for the afforestation around the county, the living environment is not bad, and the outside is the Loess Plateau and the Gobi Desert. The population of the entire county is only 24, and the annual GDP Less than 50 billion yuan.

"Mr. Liu, what I want to know is, if we set up a research institute here, can we contract a large desert Gobi Desert!?" Qin Yuanqing raised the question he was most concerned about: "Can the government fully cooperate with us in scientific research work?"

Mr. Liu's heart moved, and he asked: "Academician Qin, can you tell me how big the Gobi Desert you want to contract for, and how long do you want to contract for? And what kind of local cooperation method do you want?"

"The purpose of our laboratory is to explore desertification control, how to develop drought-resistant vegetation to plant trees and solidify wind and sand, so as to change desertification." Qin Yuanqing said, and then circled an area on the map: "If possible, except for the county seat, We have contracted all the other Gobi Desert and Loess Plateau, and the time is set for 30 years, and the planning and construction of the contracted areas within 30 years are all in accordance with our plan, and governments at all levels must not interfere, especially without our consent to cut down vegetation!"

Qin Yuanqing didn't want to, he and others worked so hard to plant trees and afforestation, but in the end they were holding back and destroying trees for planting.

Zong Liu and the county and city leaders all showed horror. You must know that the area of ​​the Qin Yuan Qing circle is a full 5000 square kilometers. This is too big.

Yan Ning and the others didn't expect that Qin Yuanqing's big handwriting would almost contract the entire county.

Such a picture is 750 million mu!

"Academician Qin, if you want to contract [-] mu, then I can make a decision on the spot. Now your painting is almost a county. I really can't make a decision directly. This matter has to be discussed at a team meeting, or even Report to the superior." Mr. Liu said dumbfounded.

"I wonder when you will be able to decide?" Qin Yuanqing asked.

He also knew that no one could directly agree to such a large sum of money, and had to hold a meeting to discuss it, but his time was precious, and he couldn't wait too long.

"Well, I'll go back and hold a team meeting right away, and I'll give you an answer in three days, how about it?" Mr. Liu said.

"Okay, I'll stay in Naowei County for inspection these few days!" Qin Yuanqing nodded.

Later, a deputy county magistrate personally led the team and accompanied Qin Yuanqing to inspect Naowei County. You can still see trees, flowers and plants in the county town. There is yellow sand in them.

"Professor Yan, Professor Xie, what do you think of Laowei County?" Qin Yuanqing asked. After some investigation, he felt that this county is very suitable for research.

"Director Qin, this county is very suitable. I have seen some local plants, and they all have strong drought resistance. However, Director, you proposed to contract such a large area, will the government agree?" Yan Ning hesitated for a moment, then said .

"Yes, and to establish a research institute here, to be in charge of such a large area, our team number of 20 people is definitely not enough, at least we have to recruit hundreds of people, especially undergraduates and graduate students!" Xie Daoxin also agreed. .

They have already understood Qin Yuanqing's idea, that is to plant trees and afforestation while researching, so as to explore a way to control desertification.

For many things, it is not enough to stay in the laboratory alone. The laboratory can do it, but the actual environment may not.

"The research institute is not enough. At that time, such a large area will not only need to plant trees and afforestation, but also need to plan well and produce appropriately. Otherwise, I will have a big family and a big business, and I will not be able to solve the desertification control in the whole country." Qin Yuanqing smiled.

At this time, after some investigation, Qin Yuanqing already had an idea, that is, afforestation also needs output. He also saw that the social construction in Naowei County is very backward, and here the sun is abundant and the wind is strong. A good place for wind power and solar power generation, although it will not provide external power supply, it is no problem to meet the needs of local electricity consumption and scientific research.

Furthermore, in this arid climate, there are also suitable crops or melons and fruits, and I think there will be more or less output to make up for some shortfalls.
