Great fusion of heaven and earth

Chapter 275 Contribution of the Druid Team
Don't think that bananas are nothing.

You must know that bananas have experienced countless major survival crises.

Today's bananas are all asexually propagated, and their origin is the small fruit of the wild plantain and the wild plantain, both of which come from southeastern Asia.

Both of these wild plants also produce bananas, but with large, hard seeds and a bad taste.The edible banana varieties widely cultivated by humans today come from continuous improvement by humans.

Banana is one of the fruits with a very long history of human cultivation. Before 2000, my country had a history of cultivating bananas. ,

After long-term improvement, most of the banana varieties that we can eat today are triploid. Compared with their diploid wild ancestors, in addition to having a more attractive appearance, more importantly, there is no more bananas in the pulp. With the addition of seeds, the taste is smoother and sweeter.

Although triploid bananas can bear fruit, they are highly sterile, unable to produce seeds normally, let alone reproduce the next generation.All kinds of bananas in the world today can only reproduce by asexual reproduction.In other words, all banana cultivars with commercial value are improved crops obtained by humans through asexual reproduction and then planted in the world.

After generations of asexual reproduction, although bananas have become more delicious, none of the existing banana varieties planted on a large scale is highly resistant to diseases, especially fungal diseases, which are completely irresistible.

Black leaf spot is a devastating fungal disease, which once led to a 50% reduction in banana production worldwide. In the last century, it led to the disappearance of a delicious and main banana variety, Grand Michelle, from the world. Since then, only legend.

The Cavendish banana that everyone eats now is only a second-rate banana, but even this second-rate banana is extinct in the Elysium, not only the banana, but also the small-fruited banana and the wild banana.

However, Zhuo Qun and the scientific research boss didn't know this. When they arranged the negotiation venue, they put a lot of fruits on the plate for everyone to eat.Among them are bananas, but it is not the current Cavendish banana, but a new banana species called Songjiao bred from the banana varieties in the Northern Song Dynasty. Big Michelle is worse.

Because of this sentence, this kind of banana has become a special edible variety for Zhu Xia’s high-level officials. It has always only appeared in state banquets and various high-level venues. And it is precisely because Zhu Xia wants to promote it that it will become something that high-level people eat exclusively.

You have to know such a situation, there is a word in Zhuxia called tribute.

In ancient times, tribute was a carnival for the emperors and a disaster for the common people, but now, Zhuxia has no emperors, but there is another word for special offerings.

And these special offerings are actually not easy to buy in the market, but those rich people who hope that they are different from ordinary people will buy this kind of thing. The euphemistic name is: this is an attitude towards life. In fact, most of them are paying IQ tax and face tax.

However, you can’t deny that if this kind of new thing is thrown into the market without any background, no one will recognize it, no matter how good the quality is, no one will recognize it, but once you give this thing a special offer If it is the name of the company, it will definitely occupy the market in a very short period of time.

This is how Song Banana was promoted. At the beginning, Zhuo Qun only saw the stripe virus in bananas all over the world on the Internet. Some experts said that it might cause the extinction of existing banana species, so he quickly ate some banana varieties from the Northern Song Dynasty. Suppression.

Then he thought of bringing the banana varieties from the Northern Song Dynasty to modern planting, wouldn't that be all right?

However, after searching for a long time, Zhuo Qun couldn't find the seeds from those bananas, so he went to check the banana planting technology, and then he went to the Druid team of the Beijing Agricultural College, hoping that they could help him plant. banana.

Although those druids are not as good as those arch druids in terms of skills and status, let alone the druid high priest, the druids still have arrogance.

Faced with Zhuo Qun's request, the druids were unmoved, and said that they all pursue ideal silver and will not bow to capital, and that low-level things like planting bananas can be found at will. Some banana farmers will do.

After seeing Zhuo Qun ask someone to carry a box over, he even said that such a box of Adu objects cannot be bribed.

But when Zhuo Qun took out the Northern Song banana varieties, several druids rushed over and snatched those bananas.

Afterwards, they left Zhuo Qun and the bodyguard team brought by Zhuo Qun on the spot, and ran towards the laboratory with those bananas on their shoulders.

Only Zhuo Qun who was at a loss was left there.

What's the matter, wasn't she still aloof just now?

Why are they all bandits now, do they run away after they are robbed?
Zhuo Qun didn't understand what these bananas represented, new banana species, banana species that had never appeared before, this is the biggest temptation for these banana druids, it is equivalent to holding a brand new wild rice This kind of appearance in front of the druid high priest is similar.

Then the druids invited Zhuo Qun to the restaurant that night, and asked about the source of the banana seeds, and they stopped talking about character.

Zhuo Qun picked dozens of druids from the Agricultural College, all of them were of good level, and used them to cultivate Song Jiao.

Then Song Jiao became a special offering and began to be promoted in the market.

And in the eyes of the druids across the country, Zhuo Qun has become a person with some novelty crops, not the local tyrant who digs semi-finished druids before.

And those well-informed druids came to the base of the third import and export company under the leadership of the high priest.

And in the world of Northern Song Dynasty, Zhuo Qun thought that the world of Northern Song Dynasty was the place to provide food, and in order to get food, Zhuo Qun prepared to eliminate the original crops in Northern Song Dynasty and replace them with high-yielding crops brought by himself.

The archdruids denounced Zhuo Qun's behavior as a prodigal son as soon as they came. In their view, these Northern Song crops are also useful and can be used for hybrid experiments with modern crops.

We must know that the hybridization experiments of modern crops are coming to an end, not to say that the hybridization of crops has come to an end, but that almost all the crops that can hybridize in the world have been cross-bred, and now it is already difficult to find new parents. Impossible, and there are still many crops in the Northern Song Dynasty that can be used for hybridization experiments.

Not only that, but also many crops are original species that have not been cultivated, and these are also excellent parent selections.

For these materials, the well-known archdruids all over the country signed a non-disclosure agreement with their teams, but the druid high priest was excluded. His reputation is too great, and Zhuo Qun is not easy to arrange. , Don't say that Zhuo Qun is not easy to arrange, even Number One and they are not easy to arrange.

So he can only be excluded.

However, those large and small druid teams are no less capable than the high priest, as can be seen from the Song Jiao they provided.

They offer not just one banana, but several other high-yielding crops.

And these hybrid crops have also become the weight of the trade between Zhu Xia and the Elysium Space. The temptation of high-yielding crops to Zhu Xia is as eternal as the land.

For these crops, Zhuxia in the Bliss Space gave modern Zhuxia a star-level landing spaceship, [-] Iron Overlords, and matching replacement energy sources for exchange, not only hybrid species, but also their parents. I want them all, and I must ensure that they are the kind that can be cultivated.

Of course, the modern Zhu Xia agreed, but there was a condition that no hidden doors and surveillance were allowed.
