The experimental center of Longxi Agricultural University is not located on the main campus of Longxi Agricultural University. In the southern suburbs of the ancient city, this is the new Nanyuan campus of Longxi Agricultural University. This name comes from the name of Nanyuan Village, where the school is located.

The original old campus is now located in the prosperous area of ​​the city. Back then, 300 acres of land were acquired. At that time, this was one of the best universities in Longxi Province. Now, it can no longer 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. Based on the original ancient capital agricultural college, it expanded the land acquisition by 3,000 acres in Nanyuan Village. This is the current new campus of Longxi Agricultural University Nanyuan.

In addition to the original 500-acre campus area of ​​the ancient capital Agricultural College, the total area of ​​the entire Nanyuan campus has reached more than 3,500 acres. In addition, in addition to this area, there are about 300 acres of affiliated agricultural demonstration bases. Xiong Dingcang's experimental center is located on the new campus.

Nie Zhenbang was inspired by Xiong Dingcang. Secretary Nie was very excited, so naturally the others would not say anything more. Isn’t it a waste of interest and self-interest? They are all senior leading cadres, so they still have some insight.

From the Agricultural University campus to the Nanyuan campus, I almost passed through most of the ancient city. When I set off at 12 o'clock and arrived at the Nanyuan campus, it was already 1:30 p.m.

The convoy drove directly to the door of the experimental center. As soon as he got off the car, Nie Zhenbang was shocked. The entire experimental center is a steel structure house that is 20 to 30 meters high and a fully transparent glass greenhouse. Outside the experimental center, you can see that there are also a lot of equipment installed. The entire experimental center covers an area of ​​about five acres. Although Nie Zhenbang doesn't understand these, it is obvious that this is not cheap.

Then he smiled and said, "Old Xiong. Your laboratory is not cheap."

Speaking of his laboratory, Xiong Dingcang also showed a proud smile on his face and nodded, "Secretary Nie, thank the central leadership for his concern, thanks to the provincial party committee for his support and care. This laboratory costs a total of 800 million yuan. It completely simulates the desertification environment. This also allows us to obtain the most effective first-hand data in the laboratory."

Next to it, President Xia of Agricultural University also introduced: "Secretary Nie, this laboratory is a laboratory named after Mr. Xiong. The total cost of the project is 863.27 million yuan. Ten years ago, it was 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 Department, it has been expanded one after another, and this has reached its current scale. The entire area has reached 3,735 square meters. In the laboratory, the ground has been hollowed out for twenty meters. The grassroots level has imitated the desert environment. It has an automatic climate control system. It can completely simulate the growth environment of the desert. Xiong Dingcang Experimental Center is one of the best in the world in terms of desert tree cultivation and improvement."

Listening to Principal Xia's words, Nie Zhenbang nodded and agreed: "Okay, seeing this laboratory fully demonstrates the attitude of the Party Committee of the Agricultural University in respecting talents, paying attention to talents, protecting talents and introducing talents. Agricultural University can grit its teeth, tighten its belt, and create such a top-level laboratory in the world. This shows that the people of Agricultural University have a far-sighted vision. Science and education are not just empty words. This also requires down-to-earth implementation. Ten years of investment have now been exchanged for fruitful results."

As he said that, Nie Zhenbang looked at Xiong Dingcang and said, "Old Xiong, look, can we go in and take a look."

Xiong Dingcang smiled and nodded, "Secretary Nie, this is natural. This time, we invite Secretary Nie to come here. We are here to visit Sand Control No. 5."

Nie Zhenbang was a little shocked, Sand Control No. 5. This shows that there are also Sand Control No. 1, 2, 3, 4, and Xiong Dingcang's laboratory, which only took ten years from the opening of the door. This shows that Xiong Dingcang will conduct next-generation research every two years.

Tree plants are not shrubs. The growth of trees takes a long time to provide 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 was also a seventy-year-old man ten years ago. In ancient times, there was a saying that he was in his seventies. This is the kind of person who is worthy of admiration.

Looking at Xiong Dingcang, Nie Zhenbang bowed deeply and said, "Old Xiong. Thank you for everything you have done for the country, the nation, and Longxi."

Xiong Dingcang naturally knew what it meant, and then supported Nie Zhenbang and said a little moved: "Secretary Nie, I am so serious. I am so ashamed of being a sensible person. My Xiong Dingcang was cultivated by the organization, and the people supported me. Doing this thing is insignificant. It is said that if you don't be a good minister, you will be a good doctor. Xiong Dingcang does not have such good skills, so you can only deal with Niba and the desert. However, Secretary Nie, you are truly worthy of admiration. After you took office in Longxi, the economy of Longxi Province has made obvious progress. This is the credit of Secretary Nie and the leaders of the provincial party committee."

Nie Zhenbang waved his hand at this moment and said with a smile: "Old Xiong, wait until you go in, do you want to change into work clothes and sterile clothes?"

In Nie Zhenbang's impression, when entering the laboratory, you usually have to go through this process.

At this moment, Xiong Dingcang shook his head and said, "Secretary Nie, there is no need. What I am studying is agriculture. It is windy and sunny outside. If it is still so delicate, then there is no practical value for it. Everything here is to simulate the real environment of the desert, including microorganisms, sand scorpions, desert lizards, ants, etc. I copied the entire ecological structure chain of the desert intact. The purpose is to test the survival ability, reproduction ability and rapid growth ability of sand control trees in this most realistic environment."

Following Xiong Dingcang into the experimental center, he rushed over and was cold.

Xiong Dingcang also spoke next to him and explained: "Secretary Nie, do you feel a little strange? The desert should be a genius of heat waves. In fact, this is not the case. Our country's deserts are mainly concentrated in several provinces such as the Northwest Autonomous Region, Grassland Province and Ganzhou Province. These places are 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. We lived for a month and learned in detail the temperature changes in winter. These are the most realistic climate data."

At the core area of ​​the laboratory, you can see more than 100 evergreen trees with heights ranging from three to five meters.

Xiong Dingcang saw these plants as if he was looking at his own child. His eyes were full of pride and love. He introduced to Nie Zhenbang: "Secretary Nie, this is Sand Control No. 5. This is a new type of plant that is specially improved and cultivated based on the cold zone coniferous forests that are adapted to the growth of arid areas. Coniferous trees are used. This is because the desert area is drought and the evaporation is large. Coniferous forests can greatly reduce the evaporation. According to research, it is best to prevent and control sand from a height of three to five meters. Exceeding this height, strong sandstorm storms in the desert area can easily cause trees to break. Below this height, there is not much effect. It is not as good as shrub plants."

Listening to Xiong Dingcang's introduction, Nie Zhenbang also looked slightly. The older generation of scientists are different. His attitude towards doing research is extremely rigorous and almost harsh. He has such strict requirements on the height of trees.

Nie Zhenbang is not very familiar with these. He has a specialized career. As a leader, he can grasp the major aspects. Then he said: "Old Xiong, how is Shasha-Jiang No. 5 in drought resistance, survival ability and growth ability?"

Speaking of this, Xiong Dingcang showed a proud expression: "From the experiment, it is very good. It completely simulates the desertified environment. The soil composition, pH, and saline are exactly the same. The drip irrigation method is used. The water consumption of a tree is about 300 liters a year. The roots of Sand-Ji No. 5 are slender and developed. They can quickly penetrate twenty or thirty meters deep underground and have a strong fixation effect on the surrounding sand. Secretary Nie, you see, this was planted last year. When the plant was planted, the plant was about 1.5 meters. Now, there is no longer any sand on the surface. It has a significant improvement effect on the soil. The growth rate can grow about one meter a year. It can reach the requirement of three meters in two years. A desert can only take three to five years to complete the treatment. The problem now is that these data are just laboratory data. It has not been able to truly experiment in the natural environment."

Nie Zhenbang was also excited when he heard Xiong Dingcang's words. If these data were not mixed with any moisture, this result would definitely cause a huge response. It would not be a sensation in the world that affected the whole world. It would be completely possible to affect the entire country. After all, the plants studied by Xiong Dingcang are based on domestic soil and may not be able to adapt to the foreign environment. However, this is not necessarily the case. Xiong Dingcang's research has mature data now. As long as it is relatively improved, it will be very fast to adapt.

Thinking of this, Nie Zhenbang looked at Xiong Dingcang and said, "Old Xiong, how are you going to experiment?"

This sentence undoubtedly shows Nie Zhenbang's attitude. This means that the province has decided to support you. It depends on your scale and requirements.
