344: Unveiling the true agricultural technological strength of China!
“Non-hybridized co-symbiotic fruit tree.”
If these three terms were spoken separately, everyone would have heard of them, but together like this?
Some national representatives present frowned, seemingly finding it difficult to digest the term Li He had just introduced.
“I know about hybrid fruit trees, and I’ve heard of specialized research into co-symbiosis on a single plant. But aren't these two technologies diametrically opposed research directions?”
“What are the agricultural experts of Huaxia Country thinking? Why would they combine these two seemingly unrelated technologies?”
“Is there some special purpose in doing this?”
This was not only the doubt in the hearts of many agricultural experts present but also the question from global audiences in the live stream.
However, during a participating country's product presentation, other national delegations were not allowed to ask questions at any time.
Otherwise, Li He would probably have already been surrounded by countless agricultural experts.
On the center stage, Li He seemed to have anticipated the situation that would occur, so he smiled and reiterated what Dean Li had once told them.
“The guiding principle of agricultural research is to effectively utilize new technologies to serve humanity. So, I believe everyone must be wondering, what is the significance of creating this non-hybridized co-symbiotic fruit tree?”
“The significance is to advance humanity's effective preservation of the world's existing plant species!”
“That’s right, what we are showcasing this time is a fruit tree. But a fruit tree is just one direction of our current research. Perhaps one day, co-symbiotic crops and co-symbiotic ornamental plants will appear one after another.”
“If one day, Blue Star faces danger or disappears, and humanity is unable to quickly and effectively collect all the necessary plants, then at that time, non-hybridized co-symbiotic technology will be one of the best solutions!”
As his voice fell, although Li He's remarks could not directly make all agricultural experts accept this concept.
But existence is reasonable.
The audience present and in the live stream didn't understand, but expressed respect.
After all, although this technology sounds like its current practical use value is not high.
But purely from the perspective of research difficulty, it is by no means something an ordinary country can achieve.
Even the delegations of several countries that were usually at odds with Huaxia Country secretly pricked up their ears and listened carefully at this moment.
“Since Huaxia Country has prepared a super fruit tree, why haven't we seen where the exhibit is?”
“Didn't other national delegations bring their exhibits when they came on stage?”
Some impatient national delegation members began to urge in low voices.
Meanwhile, Li He on the center stage directly ignored the question and continued to introduce the super fruit tree on his own.
“The super fruit tree is a co-symbiotic research of multiple fruits on a single plant, and this time, to participate in the Agricultural Exhibition, the super fruit tree prepared by Huaxia Country incorporates one hundred varieties!!”
One hundred varieties!!!
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
What is the concept of one hundred varieties?!!!
There are only a few dozen common fruits in people's daily lives.
For countries sitting in the fourth and fifth rows, and some small island nations, it might not be possible to gather one hundred types of fruit even with the entire country's efforts!
Huaxia Country had actually fused one hundred types of fruit and developed this super fruit tree that could bear one hundred different fruits!
“Damn it! No wonder the super-yield watermelon seed, which we consider rare, is not worth mentioning to Huaxia Country. It turns out that the technical difficulty of what they are researching is already a hundred times more advanced than the super-yield watermelon seed!”
“A hundred times? More than a hundred times, these two are not even on the same level, okay! Terrifying! Huaxia Country's agricultural science and technology development truly deserves to be ranked among the top in the world. No, it has now risen to the global pinnacle!”
“I heard that in addition to the super-yield watermelon seed and the super fruit tree exhibited this time, the scientist from Huaxia Country named Su Yu also developed something called a growth acceleration shed!”
“What is that?”
“I heard that the growth acceleration shed can ripen plants at a hundred, or even a thousand times the speed! And it has no side effects. During the experimental process of the growth acceleration shed, a wild ginseng plant over thirty years old was even cultivated!”
Although many agricultural experts present did not know what wild ginseng was.
But that did not prevent them from understanding that a plant over thirty years old could be ripened using a growth acceleration shed!
That was enough.
Exclamations and sighs were endless.
Li He on stage saw that the introduction of the super fruit tree was almost complete, then raised his hands and gently pressed them down.
The scene fell silent once again.
Everyone involuntarily sat up straight. Many agricultural experts even leaned slightly forward, placing their hands on the railing of the seat in front of them.
It's coming!
Next was the final highlight of today's exhibition.
A super fruit tree formed by one hundred types of fruit co-existing on a single plant!
By imagination alone, most people would find it difficult to picture what a super fruit tree bearing one hundred kinds of fruit actually looked like.
Li He once couldn't imagine it either.
Until that day, when that towering tree, over twenty meters tall, appeared before his eyes!
On the stage.
At some unknown point, all the lights had dimmed.
Only dozens of spotlights simultaneously shone on the tightly covered red curtain behind the stage.
Click!
In the spacious exhibition hall, quiet enough to hear a pin drop, the sound of mechanical gears turning echoed.
The enormous red curtain, like a celestial canopy, began to slowly draw open towards both sides of the stage.
Everyone widened their eyes, staring intently at the opening gap of the curtain, their breathing becoming rapid.
The super fruit tree wasn't not brought onto the stage after all!
It had been hidden behind this huge curtain all along!!
Everyone then realized this with a sudden enlightenment.
The curtain opened.
A tall tree, about seven stories high, with a thick trunk that required two people to embrace, slowly appeared in people's vision.
The fruit tree's branches spread out, lush with foliage! The enormous canopy was like a giant umbrella shading the sky!
Only upon closer inspection could one discover that, in addition to ordinary branches, various gnarled branches, vines, and even roots extended from the main trunk.
These distinctly different extended branches were adorned with a dazzling array of fruits!
Grapes, oranges, bananas, watermelons, durians, sugarcane... Although the massive super fruit tree looked somewhat abrupt at first glance, upon closer observation, it possessed a unique, naturally formed beauty.
The super fruit tree!
This was the super fruit tree, a fusion of a full one hundred varieties!!
This was the true technological prowess of Huaxia Country in agricultural science and technology!!
