The Technology Tree of Xueba

It has been a week since Zhou Yu returned to the earth from the moon, and the Spark technology is developing steadily now, so there is nothing for him to worry about.

His wife Chen Jin is mainly responsible for the children's education. Zhou Yu usually only teaches them the principles of life when entertaining with the children.

Zhou Yu received a message from the front desk customer service that Mr. Jiang Zhongyun was on his way to his office.

He was a little surprised, usually he invited Jiang Zhongyun to Xinghuo Technology, Jiang Zhongyun rarely came to Xinghuo Technology on his own initiative.

Especially during this period of time, no major events have occurred. Large spaceships are currently being manufactured, and they have not been publicly sold to the public.

The aerospace industry is very stable, and there is no possibility of major accidents.

In addition to the other industries of Changshou Optical Technology, Xinghuo Technology only has a stable stock, and some low-end businesses are gradually withdrawing, and only high-end technologies are retained.

When Zhou Yu was puzzled, Jiang Zhongyun opened the door and walked in with a smile on his face.

He said excitedly: It's amazing, it's really amazing that we can now officially declare that there will be no more deserts on Earth.

When Zhou Yu heard what Jiang Zhongyun said, he remembered that when the space plants were announced, someone posted a suggestion on the Internet that Spark Technology should develop plants that can solve environmental problems such as desertification of the earth.

He didn't know anything about the desert before, but when he learned about the desert through Xianghua, Zhou Yu immediately issued an order to the scientific research center to develop technologies to solve the desert problem.

This technology is not important to Xinghuo Technology at all. After Zhou Yu proposed the research goal and allocated funds, he stopped paying attention to the progress of this project.

Now seeing the arrival of Jiang Zhongyun, this technology has been a great success.

Zhou Yu was also very happy. Deserts and semi-arid areas on the earth occupy more than 20% of the total land area of ​​the earth.

If the desert area is completely greened, the effect it can release is stronger than the effect brought by the full development of the moon.

The main role of the moon is to serve as a forward base for space development, which is suitable for human reproduction. It is really not as good as the transformed desert.

Jiang Zhongyun said excitedly: I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that your Xinghuo technology can turn the impossible into possible.

He was very emotional, because he knew that the technical difficulty was too high, and the problem of desertification was a headache for any country in the world, and they would have solved it long ago if it was easy to solve.

The world's land area is 162 million square kilometers, accounting for 30.3% of the total earth area, of which about 33.5%, about 48 million square kilometers, are arid and semi-arid desert areas.

And it is expanding at a rate of 60,000 square kilometers every year.

The desert area has accounted for more than 20% of the total land area, and 43% of the land is facing the threat of desertification.

In desert areas, the climate is dry and the rainfall is scarce. The annual precipitation is less than 250 mm, and the annual precipitation in some desert areas is even less than 10 mm.

Even occasionally, there are sudden heavy rains, and the evaporation in desert areas is very large, far exceeding the local precipitation.

The humidity of the air is low, and the relative annual humidity can be as low as below 5%.

The climate of the desert is quite variable, and the average annual temperature difference generally exceeds 30 degrees Celsius. The difference in absolute temperature is more often above 50 degrees.

The daily temperature difference changes very significantly. The near-surface temperature can reach 60 to 80 degrees at noon in summer and autumn, but it can drop below 10 degrees at night.

Desert areas are often clear and cloudless, with strong winds that can reach hurricane force.

The Taklamakan Desert, the largest desert in China, has the typical conditions of these deserts.

The annual rainfall in the desert is less than 10 millimeters, and the only groundwater is maintained by the flow of snowmelt in the mountains.

The temperature difference change of TLF is well known far and wide.

The ecological environment of the desert is not conducive to the growth of plants at all.

The current desert greening operations are all on the edge of the desert, close to areas with relatively dense human activities.

These areas have relatively abundant water sources, which can provide sufficient water for plantations.

Like Ulanbu and the desert, the Yellow River flows through it, and the tributaries of the Yellow River carry abundant water.

In the past, deserts were transformed, and they all chose this kind of desert that is easy to transform.

In the truly dry deserts such as the Sahara Desert and the Taklimakan Desert, people simply cannot carry out greening transformation on them.

Now, major changes have taken place. Even in this kind of very dry desert, Xinghuo Technology's technology can transform it.

Zhou Yu saw that Jiang Zhongyun's expression was not fake at all, and his shock was second only to hearing the longevity light technique.

With the development of science and technology, we can now solve problems that were previously unsolvable. Zhou Yu said confidently.

At the same time, he asked Xianghua to project the situation of transforming the desert. Now he is also very curious about what kind of technology Spark Science and Technology scientists use to solve the desert problem.

Zhou Yu showed a calm smile, and said to Jiang Zhongyun: Let's re-watch the scientists' solution to the desert problem.

What I provide here is internal information, which is more detailed, allowing you to clearly understand the overall solution ideas of scientists.

Wang Xiaoxiao, who is a little bald, appears in the video.

They are planting a low shrub every 100 meters on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert.

Cement reservoirs are installed around these shrubs, and the water balance automatic irrigation system provides abundant water for the shrubs.

The edge of the desert is close to people's gathering areas, and there is ample supply of running water.

Tap water transported from distant seawater desalination plants is connected to these cisterns.

Wang Xiaoxiao introduced in a flat tone: Using gene editing technology, we independently designed a shrub water vine for desert transformation.

Strawberry can be reproduced asexually, and the stems it grows out can take root far away from the original plant.

Nutrients are transported through the mother plants and cultivated until the plants can survive on their own.

We use the characteristics of vegetatively propagated plants such as strawberries to develop water vines.

It is a shrub that can reproduce vegetatively by protruding stems.

Connected by stems, as long as they are separated from the same mother plant, they can transport nutrients such as water to each other.

As long as one water vine tree takes root in a place with abundant water sources, tens of thousands of water vine trees can share the corresponding water source through asexual reproduction.

The water vine's ability to draw water is comparable to a high-power water pump, which can provide abundant water for other plants.

Any watervine tree that finds a place with plenty of water can become a mother plant again and reproduce a community.

After Wang Xiaoxiao introduced the information of the water vine tree, this video began to use time-lapse photography to show the process of the water vine tree covering the entire desert.

At the beginning, the water vine tree grew very slowly, and it slowly stretched out into the desert through its stems, taking root in suitable places.

With the mother plant providing nutrition for it, even if the rooting process lasts for more than ten days, the plant will not die.

When the water vine tree accumulates to a certain amount, it will quickly cover the desert like a carpet, and take root in the desert, fixing the sand dunes around it.

The appearance of the water vine directly changes the ecosystem in the desert. It can provide water and food for animals in the desert, and the desert ecosystem has gradually become richer.

After reading it, Zhou Yu said with emotion: The water vine tree is a good plant, it can completely solve the desert problem.

Jiang Zhongyun also agreed: Other countries have also discovered the benefits of the water vine tree, and are contacting our country to introduce this technology.

The country is also planning to promote the water vine tree, and the ecological environment of the whole earth will be better, which is good for everyone.
