Chapter 211 Desert Bluegrass

A week passed quickly, the "trouble" Li Wenxin mentioned did not happen, and no one came to find her, Zhang Wenkai felt a little relieved.

"It doesn't seem to be as serious as what Li Wenxin said." Zhang Wenkai shook his head lightly a few times.

Today is a sunny day, but because the temperature is not very high, I don't feel sunny at all, but rather cold.

Zhang Wenkai was wearing a big windbreaker, and it was past ten o'clock when he came out of the laboratory. He called Zhang Long and Huo Yong and went directly to the nursery base.

A week is enough time for a lot of things to happen, and Desert Bluegrass No. 1 has sprouted and is now thumb-high.

Due to the centralized heating system installed in the greenhouse, the temperature in the greenhouse reaches 28 degrees. With the addition of solar hot water circulation heating, the temperature in the greenhouse can even reach over [-] degrees during the day.

Entering the greenhouse, the hot air hit his face. Zhang Wenkai quickly took off the windbreaker he was wearing. Ning Yu, who was standing behind him, subconsciously reached out and took the windbreaker. After all, he used to be his assistant, and these things were all What the assistant loves to do.

But now Ning Yu is no longer an assistant, she is the manager of Longyuan Biotechnology, and the nursery base and Kubuqi factory area are divided into the jurisdiction of Longyuan Biotechnology Company, directly under the management of Ning Yu.

A person cannot forget his roots, so Ning Yu always acts as an assistant when getting along with Zhang Wenkai.

Zhang Wenkai didn't care about Ning Yu's initiative to take over his clothes. It was just a piece of clothing, and it wasn't a big deal.

Zhang Wenkai pointed to the thumb-height grass in front of him and said, "Ning Yu, this is my newly developed Desert Bluegrass No. 1, which can be used as desert greening grass."

Hearing Zhang Wenkai's detailed explanation, Ning Yu also showed a serious expression on his face. If the manager of the biological company doesn't even understand ordinary lawns, what kind of manager is he?

When she became the manager of Longyuan Biotechnology, Ning Yu began to learn knowledge in this area, such as botany, tree science, lawn science, and flower science, and even specially consulted professors from some famous universities.

As for other zoology, cytology and so on, there are not many involved, Ning Yu arranged to study later, and now the main focus is on agronomy.

"If it is applied to the desert, will it be able to adapt to the harsh environment in the desert?" Ning Yu had a puzzled expression on her face. She didn't know much about the Desert Bluegrass No. 1 developed by Zhang Wenkai.

Zhang Wenkai is actually a half-baked guy, he is too professional and he can't explain clearly, just listen to him say: "It has a strong ability to survive."

Then, he pointed to the leaf veins on the tip of the leaf and said: "After the leaf ages, it will actively develop into vascular organs, and then transport the water and inorganic salts on the leaf to the tip of the leaf to form something similar to a tuber. It can germinate in the soil, and if it hangs on it, it will exist as an organ that stores nutrients."

"And it reproduces asexually, monoecious, and its fertilization process is very similar to the principle of corn."

Ning Yu was taken aback by Zhang Wenkai's series of explanations.

Are there such plants in nature?Ning Yu looked through all the memories in her head, but she didn't think of any plants.

Seeing Ning Yu's stunned look, he didn't plan to continue explaining, he hasn't mentioned the key functions yet!He didn't say that Desert Bluegrass No. 1 could steal the genes of other species. If he did, he might be surprised.

"All in all, he's perfectly capable of surviving in the desert."

Ning Yu could only nod blankly, she really didn't understand, "Go back and study hard!" She secretly made up her mind.

As everyone knows, no matter how good the study is, it is useless to encounter the Desert Bluegrass No. 1 developed by Zhang Wenkai.

Zhang Wenkai squatted down and gently scraped the leaves with his hands, and found that there was something like grease on the leaves.

"It should be used to prevent water from evaporating."

Moreover, the shape of the leaves is somewhat similar to that of succulents. Although the leaves are only two millimeters wide, he still discovered this feature.

Gently pinch the leaves with your hands, and you can see white grease coming out of the fracture, which is somewhat similar to the grease of pine trees.

"This plant has absolutely nothing to say about drought resistance." Zhang Wenkai added a star to him.

Then I took a small shovel and gently dug up the soil. I planned to dig out a plant and take a good look at the root system, but I didn’t dig out a plant after digging a large area, because the roots of all plants are linked together.

"I'll go! It's all parasitic roots. Isn't this Nima too perverted? If it's planted in the desert, it will be difficult for other plants to survive."

The parasitic root is a kind of root unique to parasitic plants. It grows directly in the tissue of the host, absorbs ready-made nutrients from the host to maintain its own growth, and when the host dies, it will replace it.

This must add another star, this ability is too awesome.

After digging a few shovels down, you can see that the root system is very developed, there are a lot of lateral roots, and the white tender roots are densely packed, even bigger than the plant itself.

Definitely one more star.

In addition to being able to steal genes and improve one's own characteristics, in this heaven-defying function, one more star is added.

Moreover, his reproduction speed is particularly fast, and he can reproduce by dividing roots, by sowing seeds, and by tubers, which is why he needs to give it a star.

Added together, it is exactly five stars, full of five-star praise!

Zhang Wenkai, who was overjoyed, stood up, walked to the faucet, and washed his hands carefully several times, wishing he could use up half a bar of soap.

Xiaona had said that if she ate this plant by mistake, she would be sterile. He didn't dare to take the risk, even if he touched it, he would be afraid.

"It seems that we must wear protective clothing to observe plants in the future." He muttered.

Seeing Ning Yu who was carefully observing the lawn, Zhang Wenkai hurriedly pulled Ning Yu over, turned on the faucet to let her wash her hands, and said, "This kind of plant will destroy people's immune system. Remember to wear protective clothing when you come in in the future. There are other workers who have to wear protective clothing as well."

He knew that Ning Yu didn't know much about this kind of plant, so it would be very difficult to convince her. He could only find an excuse to convince her. Zhang Wenkai didn't want to endanger others because of his negligence.

Ning Yu nodded a few times in a daze.

"How can plants destroy the human immune system? Could it be poison?" Ning Yu had a big question in his heart.

But since Zhang Wenkai has already said it, she will listen. She has always regarded Zhang Wenkai's words as a death order that must be obeyed.

But then Ning Yu's face turned red because Zhang Wenkai was soaping her.
