Pastoral Daily Life

Oil-producing trees - this discovery made Yan Yue decisively postpone his return to Kunnan.

With the development of China's economy in these years, the importance of fossil energy has become increasingly prominent.People's material level is constantly improving, but correspondingly, the demand for fossil energy is increasing.The problem that can be faced is that whether it is oil, coal, or natural gas, the reserves of fossil energy are not unlimited.Taking oil as an example, according to the current production volume, the global oil reserves will be exhausted in another 40 years, not to mention China's own oil reserves.

In order to improve the energy crisis, Huaguo has been working hard to explore and develop renewable energy.Including wind energy, hydro energy, solar energy and so on.Among them, some people are working towards green plant energy, but it is the first time that the plant energy discovered by the little monkey does not require any processing and can be directly used in machines.

After Yan Yue made the decision, he quickly called Mr. Zhang and explained why he couldn't return to Kunnan temporarily.Originally, Mr. Zhang was still a little unhappy because he couldn't see Lu Lingxi, but after hearing Yan Yue's explanation, he suddenly became very interested in this kind of tree.

"Yan Yue, how did the energy fuel you mentioned come from? It's like extracting oil from peanuts and soybeans?" Mr. Zhang chased after him on the phone.

"It's not that complicated, and no processing is required at all." Yan Yue patiently explained, "After collecting the gum, it can be used directly."

"Use it directly?" Mr. Zhang was dubious.

"The current situation is like this, and some samples need to be collected for inspection."

Wang Chaoliang brought back too few samples last night, so he had to go to the rainforest for further analysis.Yan Yue has already discussed with Wang Chaoliang about entering the rainforest again.Without the presence of drug dealers, except for the scary boa constrictor, both of them can deal with other dangers.

When Lu Lingxi woke up, Yan Yue had just hung up the phone, and he vaguely heard what Yan Yue said about the oil-producing tree, what is that?

"Xiaoxi woke up?" Yan Yue turned his head to see Lu Lingxi, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.He quickly walked to the bed and took the change of clothes for Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi used Yan Yue's gloves to put on the T-shirt, and asked casually, "What is the tree that produces oil?"

Yan Yue laughed, "Get up and eat something first, I'll tell you slowly."

After Lu Lingxi finished washing, Yan Yue had asked his neighbor to cook a big bowl of rice noodles.He fed the peeled quail eggs to Lu Lingxi, and began to talk about Wang Chaoliang's discovery.

"That's a first-class kopaiba gum tree." Although it sounded unbelievable, Lu Lingxi still carefully corrected the name of the tree.

Yan Yue realized something, "Is it a prompt from the panel?"

Lu Lingxi put down her chopsticks and nodded.

Yan Yue looked at Lu Lingxi dotingly, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said softly: "Okay, it's Kupaiba gum tree." Although he felt that the name was a bit of a mouthful, Yan Yue called the new name graciously .When he said that he and Wang Chaoliang would re-enter the rainforest to find some samples, Lu Lingxi blinked and said, "I want to go together too."

"No, the rainforest is dangerous, Xiaoxi, have you forgotten that big snake?"

Thinking of the big snake, Lu Lingxi frowned slightly, but still refused to change her mind.He insisted that Yan Yue had nothing to do with him, so he had to go to Fang Lei to see if Fang Lei had time to go with him, or he paid to hire some locals.Before he could make a second choice, Fang Lei readily agreed to go with them.The group of four got ready and re-entered the rainforest.

It was already late at night when they returned to the village last night, and they only remembered a general idea about the direction.Fortunately, both Xiao Hei and Xiao Hui knew the way, Xiao Hei was in charge of leading the way, and Xiao Hui was in charge of guarding. The two cooperated tacitly, and everyone walked smoothly in the rainforest.Because of the clear goal of entering the rainforest this time, none of them was delayed on the road.Even Wang Chaoliang tried his best to restrain the idea of ​​studying the plants along the way, and kept urging everyone to go faster.

When passing by the place where the big python appeared last night, the drug dealer and the body of the little python disappeared.It seemed that the boa constrictor came back after they left. Considering that the boa constrictor was not easy to control, the few people almost ran away from this place.

squeak.

Just as they were about to return to the Copaiba gum tree, the familiar creaking sound sounded.Lu Lingxi followed the sound and saw a little monkey squatting on the branch above his head at some point, screaming excitedly at him.

"Little monkey." Lu Lingxi said pleasantly.

The little monkey heard Lu Lingxi calling him, and jumped directly into Lu Lingxi's arms while hanging from a tree branch. "Squeak." It hugged Lu Lingxi's neck with its front paws happily, rubbing its furry head against his face, looking very intimate.

"How does Little Monkey and Xiaoxi have such a good relationship." Fang Lei was a little curious.

Yan Yue vaguely guessed that it was the attractiveness of Lu Lingxi's face, just like all animals in Fengcheng like Lu Lingxi.

"You are the only little monkey, what about the other monkeys?" Lu Lingxi asked while hugging the little monkey.

The little monkey seemed to understand, pointing to the front and squeaking.

"arrive."

Wang Chaoliang's voice interrupted Lu Lingxi's words, everyone ignored the little monkey and hurriedly followed.

It was dark last night and I couldn't see clearly. At this time, the light was just right at noon. After the tree was cured by the power of nature, it didn't look like it was dying.The trunk is towering into the sky, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and the huge vitality overflows from the tree body, shallowly condensing into a milky white mist, taking a breath of refreshment, and all the fatigue along the way disappears.

Wang Chaoliang moved closer to the tree trunk and quickly found the gum.In the tree holes eaten by insects, oily substances flow out continuously, and stick to the bark and solidify into jelly.He carefully took a knife to remove the jelly without hurting the tree trunk, and the oily substance flowed out from the small hole again, Wang Chaoliang hurriedly connected the prepared bottle to the hole.

Along the way, Fangfang Lei heard them talk a lot about the magic of this kind of tree. Now that he saw the oil flowing out with his own eyes, he remembered another thing while being amazed.

"This kind of tree is miraculous, but there is only one tree around. It will take several years to grow seedlings and plant trees when I go back."

The issues he considered were practical, but with the help of the white panel, Yan Yue was not worried about the growth of the trees.Besides, from the perspective of a businessman, it is impossible for any business to make money right away. As long as the rate of return is high in the later stage, it does not matter if the prerequisite investment is longer.The first thing to do is to determine the oil production and composition of the Copaiba gum tree. If everything is right, you can start the matter of raising seedlings and planting trees.

The trunk of this tree was too huge, and several people surrounded it without closing the trunk.The four of them each occupied a direction, found the moth-eaten hole, and each took the bottle to pick up the oil inside.

squeak.

The little monkey had been observing Lu Lingxi's movements, seeing that he was curious about the oil in the tree, so he couldn't help jumping up and screaming, pointing to the left direction and screaming excitedly.

"To the left? What's there?" Lu Lingxi asked the little monkey seriously as if talking to Dahei.

The little monkey stretched out its two front paws, gesturing a long distance.Lu Lingxi pondered for a long time, and tentatively asked: "There are also trees over there?"

I don't know if the little monkey understood, and it hugged Lu Lingxi's neck and squealed.

Everyone around could hear their conversation clearly, Wang Chaoliang was the most impatient, "Why don't we go and have a look?"

Lu Lingxi asked for Yan Yue's opinion, Yan Yue thought about it and nodded, "Okay, let the little monkey lead the way and let's go and see."

Following the direction indicated by the little monkey, they walked to the left for another half an hour.A small valley soon appeared in front of it. Countless lush copaiba gum trees stood in the valley, and a four to five meter wide river meandered around the valley.

"This……"

Everyone was speechless for a while, the little monkey happily jumped to the river and took a drink of water. The group of monkeys he had seen last night appeared across the river and shouted at several people across the river.

The discovery of Kupaibaxiang gum tree valley made several people very happy. Considering the lack of time, they did not enter the valley. They just remembered the direction of the valley and returned to the village by the same route.To Lu Lingxi's surprise, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao were waiting for him in the village, and there was another Mr. Min with white hair and beard who came with them.

"Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Zhao." Lu Lingxi was taken aback when she came back.

Zhang Lao held his hand nervously, "Let me see, where is the injury?"

Lu Lingxi was a little embarrassed, "Grandpa Zhang, I'm fine, I just scratched my skin."

"It's fine, Xiaoxi, this is your Grandpa Min." Zhang Lao warmly introduced Lu Lingxi, then turned around and said, "Old Min, this is the Xiaoxi I told you about."

Lu Lingxi called obediently, "Grandpa Min is good."

Old Min looked at Lu Lingxi and laughed, and agreed lovingly.After several people greeted each other, Yan Yue's gaze fell on Elder Min vaguely.He didn't expect that Mr. Min was actually a friend of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao.If he hadn't misunderstood the person... what lay before him and Xiaoxi was a huge opportunity.

After Mr. Zhang talked, Lu Lingxi knew that Mr. Min and Mr. Zhang were good friends for many years. The three of them were busy with work and didn't have much time to get together.Now that I'm retired, I don't have much work to do, and I will find time to get together from time to time.This time coincided with the Kunnan Orchid Exhibition, before the old men loved flowers, they made an appointment to come to Kunnan together.

Lu Lingxi felt that Mrs. Zhang felt a little sorry for not going to the orchid show because of his business. Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "The orchid show will be open for half a month and I won't be able to leave. I will go to see it when I have time. If I don't come to see Xiaoxi, I will You and your Grandpa Zhao are always unreliable. As for your Grandpa Min, he was attracted by the kupeiba tree you mentioned. Your Grandpa Min has been engaged in energy all his life, and this is the first time he has heard of this kind of oil-producing Such a tree, I can’t sit still for a long time.” Mr. Zhang paused, and then asked, “Xiaoxi, tell me what’s going on with this tree?”

Lu Lingxi told Wang Chaoliang's test results and what they found today.As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Min eagerly said, "Xiaoxi, you said that you found a whole valley full of this kind of tree."

Lu Lingxi nodded, but quickly said seriously: "The Copaiba gum tree valley we discovered is located in the Kunnan Rainforest, which is already deep in the rainforest. In order to protect the environment of the rainforest, it is best not to destroy the development of the valley."

He said it seriously, as if he was afraid that Mr. Min would secretly develop the valley.Old Min laughed all of a sudden, the wrinkles on his face stretched out, and he could see that he was in a very good mood. "That's right, Xiaoxi is right, we want to protect the environment of the rainforest. Then Xiaoxi, what are your plans?"

Lu Lingxi glanced at Yan Yue, thought for a while, and said, "Uncle Wang has basically confirmed through testing that the gum of the Kupaiba gum tree can completely replace diesel oil. Brother Yan and I want to see if it can be successfully transplanted in Fengcheng. "

"Fengcheng?"

Lu Lingxi nodded, he already regarded Fengcheng as his home, and he wanted to plant any good things in Fengcheng.Although the Copaiba gum tree is originally produced in the rainforest area and the climate in Fengcheng is quite different, considering the effect of environmental purification in Fengcheng, it may not be impossible to transplant it.

Mr. Min laughed loudly after hearing his reason, and said: "It would be a good thing if it can be transplanted to Fengcheng. It happens that Fengcheng will no longer need to dig coal, but instead mine this kind of tree oil. It is environmentally friendly and economically beneficial. It kills two birds with one stone." .”

A group of people chatted for a while, and the topic of Mr. Min kept revolving around the Kupaiba gum tree.Yan Yue looked at Mr. Min thoughtfully for a few times, and said to Lu Lingxi after he had left in the evening: "Mr. Min was the last Minister of Energy of Huaguo."

Lu Lingxi doesn't read the news very much on weekdays, and has no idea what the position of the Minister of Energy is.Seeing his blank expression, Yan Yue laughed, hugged Lu Lingxi and kissed, "It doesn't matter what you don't understand, as long as Xiaoxi knows this is an opportunity."
