Chapter 1219 Enough to change the world
The experimental center of Longxi Agricultural University is not on the main campus of Longxi Agricultural University. In the southern suburbs of the ancient city, this is the Nanyuan new campus of Longxi Agricultural University. The name comes from the name of Nanyuan Village, where the school is located.
The old campus is now located in the bustling area of the city. In that year, 300 mu of land was requisitioned. At that time, this was one of the best universities in Longxi Province. Nowadays, it can't keep up with the development of the times.
A few years ago, universities began to merge. Longxi Agricultural University merged the ancient capital agricultural college at that time, on the basis of the original ancient capital agricultural college, on the side of Nanyuan Village. Expand the expropriation of 3,000 mu of land. This is today's Longxi Agricultural University Nanyuan New Campus.
Plus the original 500 mu campus area of the ancient capital agricultural college. The total area of the whole Nanyuan campus has reached more than 3,500 mu. In addition, in addition to this area, there are about 300 mu of affiliated agricultural demonstration bases. The experimental center of Xiong Dingcang is on the side of the new campus.
Nie Zhenbang was excited by Xiong Dingbang. Secretary Nie is very interested, and naturally no one else will say anything more. Say it, isn't it a disinteresting and asking for fun? They are all senior leading cadres, and there is still a way to see this.
From the main campus of Agricultural University to the Nanyuan campus, it has almost passed through more than half of the ancient city. It was already 1:30 p.m. when we left at 12 o'clock and arrived at the Nanyuan campus.
The convoy drove directly to the door of the experimental center. As soon as he got out of the car, Nie Zhenbang was shocked. The whole experimental center. A steel house 20 or 30 meters high. Fully transparent glass greenhouse. Outside the experimental center. It can be seen that a lot of equipment has been installed. The whole experimental center covers an area of about five mu. Although Nie Zhenbang doesn't understand this, it is obvious that it is not cheap.
Then he smiled and said, "Old Bear. Your laboratory is not cheap."
Speaking of his laboratory, Xiong Dingcang also showed a proud smile on his face. He nodded and said, "Secretary Nie, thank the leading comrades of the Central Committee for their concern and the provincial party committee for their support and care. This laboratory costs a total of 800 million yuan. It completely simulates the desertification environment. This also allows us to get the most effective first-hand data in the laboratory.
Next to, Principal Xia of Agricultural University also introduced: "Secretary Nie, this laboratory is named after Xiong Lao. The total cost of the project is 8,6327 million yuan. As early as ten years ago, there were only more than 100 square meters. In the past ten years, with the strong support of the Ministry of Agriculture, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and the provincial finance. It has been expanded one after another, which is the current scale. The whole area has reached 3,735 square meters. Inside the laboratory, all the ground has been hollowed out by 20 meters. The most grassroots have imitated the desertified environment. It has an automatic climate control system. It can completely simulate the growth environment of the desert. Xiong Dingcang Experimental Center. In terms of the cultivation and improvement of desert trees, it is one of the best in the world.
Listening to President Xia's words, Nie Zhenbang also nodded and agreed, "Well, seeing this laboratory also fully illustrates the attitude of the party team of the Agricultural University in respecting talents, attaching importance to talents, protecting talents and introducing talents. Up and down, the Agricultural University can clench its teeth, tighten its belt, and create such a world-class laboratory. This shows that the farmer is far-sighted. Science and education to rejuvenate the country is not just empty words. This also needs to be implemented in a down-to-earth manner. Ten years of investment, and now, have achieved fruitful results.
With that, Nie Zhenbang looked at Xiong Dingcang and said, "Xiong Lao, look, can we go in and have a look?"
Xiong Dingcang nodded with a smile and said, "Secretary Nie, this is natural. This time, I will invite Secretary Nie to come here. It's to see Zhisha No. 5.
Nie Zhenbang was a little shocked, Zhisha No. 5. This shows that. In front of this, there are also laboratories of Zhisha No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and Xiong Dingcang, which has only been open for ten years. This shows that. Bear fixed warehouse will carry out research on the next generation every two years.
Tree plants, this is not a shrub. The growth of trees takes a long time to get feedback. From this point, it is enough to see that Xiong Dingcang's whole mind is focused on scientific research. Today, Xiong Dingcang's 80th birthday. Ten years ago, he was also a 70-year-old man. In ancient times, there was a saying that it was a rare year. This is the kind of person worthy of admiration.
Looking at Xiong Dingcang, Nie Zhenbang bowed deeply and said, "Xiong Lao. Thank you for everything you have done for the country, the nation and Longxi.
Xiong Dingcang naturally knew what it meant, and then he held Nie Zhenbang and was a little moved and said, "Secretary Nie, it's serious. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. My bear warehouse was cultivated by the organization, and it was the people who supported me. It's insignificant to do this. There is an old saying. If it is not a good appearance, it is a good doctor. I don't have such a good ability to deal with mud and deserts. On the contrary, Secretary Nie, you are really worthy of admiration. After you take office in Longxi. The economy of Longxi Province has made significant progress. This is the credit of Secretary Nie and the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee.
Nie Zhenbang also waved his hand at this moment and said with a smile, "Xiong Lao, go in later. Do you want to change into work clothes and sterile clothes or something?"
In Nie Zhenbang's impression, entering the laboratory usually goes through such a process.
At this moment, Xiong Dingcang shook his head and said, "Secretary Nie, I don't need it at all. I study agriculture. It's windy and sunny outside. If it is still so delicate, it will have no practical use value. Everything here simulates the real environment of the desert. Including microorganisms such as sand scorpions, desert lizards, ants and so on. I copied the ecological structure chain of the whole desert intact. The purpose is to hope to be in this most real environment. Test the viability, reproductive ability and rapid growth ability of sand trees.
followed Xiong Dingcang into the experimental center and rushed to his face, which was cold.
Xiong Dingcang also explained beside him, "Secretary Nie, do you feel a little strange? The desert should be a heat wave genius. In fact, this is not the case. The desert of our country. It is mainly concentrated in several provinces such as the Northwest Autonomous Region, Grassland Province and Ganzhou Province. These places. It is hot in summer, and the temperature in winter is also more than ten degrees below zero. Before building this laboratory, we made a special trip to the desert in winter. After living for a month, I mastered the temperature changes in winter in detail. These are the most authentic climate data.
On this side of the core area of the laboratory. Looking around, you can see more than 100 coniferous evergreen trees with heights ranging from three to five meters.
When Xiong Dingcang sees these plants, it is like looking at his own child. The eyes are full of pride and love. He introduced to Nie Zhenbang: "Secretary Nie, this is Zhisha No. 5. This is a new type of plant that is specially improved and cultivated according to the cold zone coniferous trees to grow in arid areas. Coniferous trees are used. This is due to the drought in the desert area and the large amount of evaporation. Coniferous forests can greatly reduce evaporation. According to the study, it is best to prevent sand at an altitude of three to five meters. Beyond this height, sandstorms and strong winds in desert areas can easily lead to trees breaking. Below this height. It doesn't have much effect. It's not as good as shrubs.
Listening to Xiong Dingcang's introduction, Nie Zhenbang also nodded slightly. The older generation of scientists are different, and their attitude towards research is extremely rigorous and almost harsh. There are such strict requirements for the height of trees.
Nie Zhenbang is not familiar with these. He specializes in the art industry. As a leader, as long as he can grasp the general aspects. Then he said, "Xiong Lao, how about Zhisha No. 5 in terms of drought resistance, survival ability and growth ability?"
Speaking of this, Xiong Dingcang showed a proud look: "From the perspective of the experiment, it's very good. Fully simulate the environment of desertification. The soil composition, pH and salinity are all the same. Use drip irrigation. A tree consumes about 300 liters of water a year. The root system of Zhisha No. 5 is slender and developed. It can quickly go deep into the depth of 20 to 30 meters underground. It has a strong fixation effect on the surrounding sand. Secretary Nie, you see, this was planted last year. When it was planted, the plant was about 1.5 meters. Nowadays, the sand on the surface can no longer be seen. It has a significant improvement effect on the soil. The growth rate can grow about one meter a year. The requirement of three meters can be reached in two years. It only takes three to five years to complete the governance of a desert. The problem now is that these data are only laboratory data. It has not been able to really experiment in the natural environment.
I heard Xiong Dingcang's words. Nie Zhenbang was also excited. If these data are not mixed with any moisture. This result will certainly cause a huge response. I dare not say that it will cause a sensation all over the world. It is completely possible to affect the whole country. After all. The plants studied by Xiong Dingcang are based on domestic soil. It may not be able to adapt to the foreign environment. However, this is not necessarily the case. The research of Xiong Dingcang now has mature data. As long as you make relative improvements, you can adapt quickly.
Thinking of this, Nie Zhenbang looked at Xiong Dingcang and said, "Xiong Lao, how are you going to experiment?"
This sentence has undoubtedly shown Nie Zhenbang's attitude. This means that the province has decided to support you. It depends on your size and requirements.
Xiong Dingcang pondered for a moment and then said, "It's too small to be an experiment. It's not very cost-effective. The construction of drip irrigation devices, the selection of water sources, etc., as well as the cultivation of plants. These are the most labor-intensive. If it is small, it doesn't make much sense. I mean to carry out experiments in the Kewu Desert at the junction of Longxi and Ganzhou. The whole desert is a fixed desert. It is convenient to get water around. The total area of the desert is 130 square kilometers. In the first phase, I want to carry out an experiment of ten square kilometers first. RS
