Chapter 157 Second Class Protected Plant, "Wood Cycad"

See what Chen Yinian said.

Su Mu nodded.

The reason why he said this was because he was worried that a sika deer might accidentally eat this second-level protected plant.

It would be bad if you blame him then.

"In addition, Professor Chen, there is one more thing. I need you to come up with a document."

"If, after one year, you no longer rent this half-acre of my land, I will notify you in advance to take away the second-class protected plants in the land."

"If we still don't deal with it, then I have the right to eradicate it."

"After all, you also know that these lands of mine are intended to be used for growing vegetables, etc."

"If you want to continue renting, you have to tell me in advance."

Although the relationship between Su Mu and Chen Yinian is indeed good.

But business is business.

He can't let himself be in a dilemma, right?
and so.

If only there were documents in this regard.

Then it will be much easier to handle it yourself.

At least it won't be illegal.

"Haha, Mr. Su, you can rest assured about this."

"Since we want to cultivate Class II protected plants in your area, we will take care of the relevant certificates, etc."

"After we handle it, we will bring it to you. If you think it is okay, you can sign it."

Next, Su Mu said a few more points.

Chen Yinian naturally agreed with them all.

After all, the kind of second-level protected plants that Chen Yinian wanted to bring and cultivate were already rare in Xia Kingdom.

There are only three plants at IU's College of Agriculture.

Other agricultural colleges, some don't even have one.

So today, I saw that Su Mu's house had such big radishes and such good-looking watermelons.

He felt it in his heart.

If only I could bring those three second-level protected plants.

Can it also grow well?

If we can collect some seeds at that time, wouldn't it be possible to cultivate more of them?
So he spoke out about this matter.

"Okay, Xiao Mu, it's settled. I'll come over with the relevant certificates in a few days. After you read it and sign, I'll bring over the Class II protected plants."

"Uncle Chen, after saying so much, I still don't know what the second-level protected plant you are talking about is. I wonder if you can tell me now?"

'It's natural. '

"The name of this plant is called Wood Cycad. "

"Ok?"

When he heard this name, Su Mu seemed very confused.

This name sounds very strange.

Seeing Su Mu's confused face.

Chen Yinian smiled slightly.

He naturally understood why Su Mu was so confused.

"Xiao Mu, I know you are confused about the name of this plant, so let me tell you the history of this plant first."

"The scientific name of Wood Cycad is "Encephalartos woodii".

This is one of the rarest plants in the world and has been listed as extinct in the wild.

The only wild wood cycad found in the world is located on a slope on the edge of South Africa's Noye Forest.The wood cycad is virtually extinct because it is a dioecious plant, and all extant wood cycads in botanic gardens are male.

Scientists began trying to cross them with their closest relatives, hoping to create new seedlings of Wood Cycads.

In 1916, the last wood cycad was transplanted to the Botanic Gardens. There was no longer any possibility of the plant being introduced into the wild because the only existing plant was male and the possibility of it being destroyed by humans was high.

And this plant reproduces sexually.

Sexual reproduction is not possible in Wood Cycads unless female plants are found. "

'So Professor Chen, how did you get this "Wood Cycad" plant? '

After listening to what Chen Yinian said, Su Mu finally understood how endangered this plant was.

But he couldn't figure it out, since there was only the last one of this plant left.

And where did Professor Chen and the others get it?
"I don't know the specifics about this, but this plant was taught to us by the higher-ups."

"There are ten plants in total, but they are all still seedlings."

"Of these ten Wood Cycads, we have three at the Agricultural College, and six others. Four of them are at the Kyoto Agricultural College, and the other two are at the scientists' place."

"The above message is that they want us to cultivate it and see if we can make it grow smoothly."

"If one female plant can be found among these ten Wood Cycads, then one day in the future, it is estimated that these Wood Cycads will be able to grow more!"

"So, when I found out that the vegetables here can grow so well, if I could bring those three Wood Cycads over, could they be cultivated? If it was really feasible, it would be great for us and the country. , it’s all a good thing!!”

At this point, Su Mu finally understood.

"Professor Chen, I don't know whether I can make those three Wood Cycads grow smoothly."

"However, since it helps you, you can give it a try."

"Well, that's our plan too. No matter what, we have to try. What if we succeed?"

"After all, when our country was just starting out, we were not afraid of difficulties and had the courage to try. That's why our country can become so strong now!!"

Soon, Su Mu and Chen Yinian settled the matter.

Professor Li also came back with his students.

"Old Chen, have you reached an agreement?"

"Well, we've already talked about it."

"What about Mr. Su?"

"Of course I will not refuse this matter."

"Haha, okay, okay, I hope that with our efforts, the plant can survive smoothly!!"

"Okay, this matter will still take a few days. Let's eat watermelon now."

"Uh-huh."

Then, the group started eating watermelon.

"Hey, Xiao Mu, why didn't you find that girl Su Xin today?"

"She went back to the Forestry Bureau today. Mr. Guo said that there were some things that needed to be dealt with and asked Su Xin to come over and help. It should be some clerical matters."

"That's it."

"Xiao Mu, I think that girl Su Xin is very good. I even said I would introduce you to a girl."

'I didn't expect that girl Su Xin to already live in your house. '

"Now that you are so close, and Su Xin looks at you very gently, this girl can also do housework and so on."

"So, if you have the opportunity, you have to seize it."

'Ahem. Uncle Chen, why are you saying this all of a sudden? '

"You call me uncle, and I will naturally check it out for you. Besides, this girl Su Xin has a pretty good family background."

"If the two of you really have that plan, Uncle Chen, I can help you mediate when the time comes."

Hearing Chen Yinian talk about this, Xu Suxin's sweet smile appeared in Su Mu's mind.
.
After spending so much time together, he did have some fond feelings for the girl Xu Suxin.
