Chapter 1362 Alive
More than four months passed in the blink of an eye, during which Tang Qi quietly accompanied Lin Hao in planting trees.

Over time, Tang Qi completely abandoned the idea of ​​leaving. It has to be said that the Hive Will was indeed very powerful.

Of course, Lin Hao's own charm cannot be ignored, and the safe and comfortable environment of the underground house also played a significant role.

During this time, Lin Hao also visited Feng Cheng, but Feng Cheng was clearly prejudiced against Lin Hao. However, out of respect for Tang Qi, Lin Hao did not hold it against him.

Returning to the matter of planting trees, Lin Hao planted the 1000 saplings he had brought earlier in just three days.

If Lin Hao hadn't wanted Tang Qi to feel involved, he could have finished in a day at most. But since Tang Qi was involved, Lin Hao naturally had to slow down the pace.

Of the 500 saplings, Lin Hao used life essence, so the survival rate of the saplings was 100%. For the other 500 drought-resistant shrubs, Lin Hao used a grass checkerboard planting method.

After Lin Hao finished planting, he went to check on Feng Cheng's progress. Feng Cheng's progress was much slower than Lin Hao's, taking twelve days to complete the planting.

Feng Cheng also visited Lin Hao's place and was very envious of how Lin Hao finished planting in just three days.

Lin Hao snatched his weapon away. He knew Lin Hao was strong, but he didn't expect Lin Hao to be so capable at work.

This surprised Feng Cheng, who couldn't believe that Lin Hao had actually come from the capital. He was especially envious when he saw Lin Hao's spacious dugout.

For some reason, when Feng Cheng was at Lin Hao's base, he had a feeling that he was being watched, and a familiar illusion.

Three months ago, Yu Zheng, Engineer Chen, Qu He, and Qi Ma came to check the leaf emergence rate of the saplings.

Whether it's Lin Hao or Feng Cheng, it's reached 100%.

However, when Engineer Chen saw the saplings planted by Feng Cheng, he was not optimistic. Although the saplings at Feng Cheng's place had all sprouted leaves, the plants were withered and yellow, and it was clear that they would have difficulty surviving.

The 500 shrub saplings, however, are still holding up well. But Feng Cheng disagrees with Chen Gong's assessment, confidently believing it to be Chen Gong's prejudice and that Chen Gong lacks ability.

Chen was so angry that he didn't want to talk to him anymore, and declared that at most four or five saplings would survive, and all of them would die by the end of the year.

Feng Cheng then retorted to Engineer Chen, also declaring that they would see the results in three months.

Afterwards, Yu Zheng and his group arrived at Lin Hao's post and inspected the leaf-bearing rate of the saplings Lin Hao had planted.

Lin Hao's thousand saplings had a 100% leaf-opening rate, and the saplings were in much better condition than those of Feng Cheng.

Engineer Chen praised Lin Hao's superb skills. This was the first time he had encountered a plant as strong as Lin Hao's, and further assessment was needed.

But Lin Hao knew in his heart that apart from the 500 saplings that had been watered with the essence of life, it wouldn't be a problem for all of them to survive.

However, the survival rate of saplings planted on the grass checkerboard is not very high; a survival rate of 30% would be considered good.

Of the shrubs and saplings that manage to survive the winter and live to see next year, it would be good if only a dozen or twenty survive.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Engineer Chen came once a month, and everyone had lost interest in Feng Cheng's place.

As Engineer Chen said, the saplings planted by Feng Cheng gradually withered, and the last ones that remained were on their last legs.

Yu Zhenglai, along with Engineer Chen and Qu He, arrived at the station once again.

"Boom!!!!"

While watering the saplings, Lin Hao noticed several people galloping towards him in the distance.

"Tang Qi, someone's coming! Go home and hide for a bit!" Lin Hao shouted to Tang Qi, who was watering the saplings.

"Oh, okay!" Tang Qi followed Lin Hao's gaze and looked at the group of people riding horses in the distance, saying somewhat disappointedly.

Seeing this, Lin Hao shook his head, knowing that Tang Qi wanted to appear in public with an open and honest identity, rather than hiding like this.

So Lin Hao comforted him, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. This year, during graduation season, you will come here as a college student to support the construction of our motherland."

Tang Qi smiled slightly upon hearing this, looked at Lin Hao expectantly, and then kissed Lin Hao on the cheek.

After Tang Qi returned, the convoy went to Feng Cheng's place first.

"Director Yu, what brings you all here?" Upon seeing Yu Zhenglai and his entourage arrive, Feng Cheng put down the watering can and forced a smile as he greeted them.
"Feng Cheng!" Yu Zhenglai said with a smile, "We've come up to check your saplings!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Cheng lowered his head and said nothing, but simply followed along to check on the saplings.

After Chen finished his inspection, he sneered at Feng Cheng and said, "So, are you convinced or not?"

"I'm not convinced! Not all of them are dead!" Feng Cheng retorted defiantly.

"I just looked at them all!" Engineer Chen sighed, then shook his head and said:

“I checked each of the thousand seedlings one by one. There were only a few that were half-dead and wouldn’t survive until next year!”

Feng Cheng said unwillingly, "At worst, I'll start fertilizing and watering every day from today!"

"Fine, go ahead and mess around. The more you mess around, the faster you'll die!" Engineer Chen said calmly.

"Engineer Chen, can you please say less?" Yu Zhenglai said to Engineer Chen when he saw Feng Cheng's dejected look.

Engineer Chen pursed his lips, said nothing more, and packed his things to go to Lin Hao's place.

"It's alright, not a single tree has survived in our forest farm in the past three years, so don't push yourself!"

"No, someone's plotting against me!" Feng Cheng said with certainty.

"What?" Yu Zhenglai thought he had misheard.

Feng Cheng said excitedly, "There's no mistake, there must be something wrong with the seedlings you gave me!"

"Director, I request to go down to the dam!" Feng Cheng said solemnly at the last moment.

"What?" Yu Zhenglai thought he had given up, so he looked at Feng Cheng solemnly and asked, "You've changed your mind!"

"No!" Feng Cheng shook his head and said, "I want to choose the seedlings myself. Give me another thousand!"

"Okay, I agree!" Yu Zhenglai had no choice but to agree to Feng Cheng's request.

Although Yu Zheng felt from the bottom of his heart that even if Feng Cheng changed the saplings, they still wouldn't survive, it was still an attempt.

"Heh, this is interesting. The seedlings won't survive, and the saplings are useless!" Engineer Chen said with a look of disdain.

"You say there's a problem with the saplings, then why is the survival rate so high in Xiaolin's area? You all graduated from agricultural universities and planted the same batch of saplings!"

"Everyone planted 500 saplings and 500 drought-resistant shrubs. Why did others' saplings survive while yours didn't, and you're blaming the saplings for being the problem?"

"You—!" Upon hearing this, Feng Cheng was speechless for a moment, unsure how to refute Engineer Chen. In the end, he could only stubbornly say:

"I don't believe it! I'm going to go and see for myself if Lin Hao has successfully grown them all!"

"Alright, let's go check on Xiao Lin's camp!" Engineer Chen didn't say anything more and went to check on Lin Hao's planting situation.

The four of them then headed towards Lin Haozhong's woodland.

"Director Yu, Engineer Chen, Lao Qu, you've arrived." Lin Hao stepped forward to greet them.

"Xiaolin, how is it?"

Before Yu Zhenglai could speak, Engineer Chen rushed to Lin Hao and excitedly asked, "Engineer Chen, almost all of our thousand seedlings have survived, but I estimate the survival rate to be around 60-70% this year."

Lin Hao and Engineer Chen reported their results.

"What? Sixty or seventy percent?" Yu Zhenglai exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.
"Xiao Lin, we can't joke around like this. This is no laughing matter."

Trees are planted every year, but none of them survive. They say that 60% or 70% of them survive. How is that possible?

Yu Zhenglai and Qu He both looked at Lin Hao seriously, only Engineer Chen explained on Lin Hao's behalf:
"Old Yu, we'll see for ourselves when we go, you'll be amazed!"

Lin Hao smiled, then led the four of them toward the direction where the trees were being planted.

When you arrive at Lin Hao's woodland, you can see that the saplings he planted are all lush and green.

It looks very vibrant and has even grown many branches, which is much better than Feng Cheng's.

"Haha, it really worked!" Qu He exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the lush greenery.

"Director, Engineer Chen, most of the saplings here at Lin Hao's place have survived!"

"Lin Hao's estimate of 70% is far too modest," Engineer Chen praised upon seeing this.

"I think there's at least a 90% survival rate!"

"Engineer Chen, you're too optimistic!" Lin Hao shook his head and said.

"A 60% survival rate would be quite good, and that's after I've taken great care of them, not even counting the winter survival issues!"

"If large-scale planting is carried out in the future, it will be impossible to take care of each sapling as carefully as I do."

"The cultivation of these saplings also needs improvement. It would be best to use seeds from the native tree in the Bashang area for cultivation, as the survival rate would be higher!"

"See, I told you there was something wrong with the saplings!" Feng Cheng said, deeply agreeing with Lin Hao's words.

The group ignored the fool and continued discussing the issue of large-scale planting in the future.

"No matter what, Xiaolin managed to make the trees survive in Bashang!" Yu Zhenglai said happily at the end.

"Compared to the situation where not a single tree survived before, this is a huge improvement!"

"As for the issue of large-scale planting in the future, we'll figure out a solution later!"

Everyone waited for Engineer Chen's final conclusion, and after Engineer Chen finished inspecting the last sapling, they were all extremely excited.

After all these years, Saihanba has finally produced saplings that can survive.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Feng Cheng calmed down, but he was still very upset.

You know, he followed the steps in the book exactly, without missing a single one. So why is Lin Hao's survival rate so high, while his is so low?

"That's impossible. What went wrong?" Feng Cheng carefully examined Lin Hao's saplings.

After all, he couldn't grow the same saplings, while Lin Hao's saplings survived on a large scale, leaving him with no excuse.

“Nothing is impossible. Lin Hao is an expert in this field. You are just a novice. How can you expect to grow a tree with just a few books?”

"If it were that easy to grow trees, we would have planted lush and green trees in Saihanba long ago!" In the end, Engineer Chen tried to comfort the dejected Feng Cheng.

“Engineer Chen is right!” Lin Hao smiled and said, “The books you’re reading were all read by Engineer Chen and the others a long time ago.”

"You're just going through the same path they've already trod. Just like Engineer Chen said, the more you mess around, the faster the saplings will die!"

"I see you've been causing quite a bit of trouble too!" Feng Cheng said, pursing his lips.

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao said unhappily: You studied agriculture, don't you even know the basics?

Does anyone water their plants in the middle of the day?
"The altitude here is so high, the sunlight is much stronger than in the plains. Aren't you afraid of killing the saplings by watering them at midday?"

At this point, Engineer Chen explained:

"During the day, the soil surface temperature is high, and plant roots have adapted to this environment. If cold water is suddenly poured in at noon, the soil temperature will drop sharply!"

"This stimulates the root system, preventing the plant from absorbing water and nutrients properly, thus affecting its growth."

"Moreover, the increased moisture in the soil after watering displaces air, leading to root hypoxia. This is especially true during the midday heat, when hypoxia can easily cause root necrosis and affect plant health!"

"There's also the disruption caused by transpiration. Plants transpire strongly at midday when temperatures are high. Suddenly watering them lowers the surface soil temperature, and the plants will close their stomata to reduce water evaporation as a form of self-protection!"

"But the root system is still absorbing water, which leads to an imbalance of water in the body, affecting growth and even causing death. Some of your saplings died in this way."

At this point, Lin Hao continued, "To avoid these problems, irrigation should be avoided during the midday heat!"

"It is best to irrigate in the morning or evening to reduce damage to the plants and promote healthy growth."

“These are all basic knowledge. You said you're a logging professional, and we won't argue with that, but didn't you read the book that Engineer Chen gave you?”

"I wonder where you got to read that book!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Cheng blushed with embarrassment at Lin Hao's words. He wanted to refute but didn't know how to say it, so he could only raise his head with a defiant look on his face.

However, Lin Hao didn't bother to pay attention to Feng Cheng. With Feng Cheng's attitude, he wouldn't turn back until he suffered a loss.

It's clear from the original drama that Feng Cheng's experiences are inextricably linked to his personality.

He then ignored Feng Cheng and said to Zheng:

"Director, Engineer Chen, Lao Qu, I think we shouldn't be too happy yet!"

"This is only our first experiment. Whether it will be successful depends on whether these saplings can survive the winter on the dam."

"If we succeed this time, we can start systematic training next year."

"Once Chen and I have completed our research on the nursery, those towering trees will no longer be a fantasy."

"Yes, yes, Xiaolin is right. Let's not report it to higher authorities for now and see how it goes next year!"

"If it succeeds, our forestry bureau will really make a name for itself this time, haha."

Yu Zhenglai said happily, then patted Lin Hao on the shoulder.

"Expert Lin, we've really struck gold this time!"

"No, it's everyone in Saihanba who struck gold. Come on, let's go down the dam and throw you a celebration banquet."

"Director, no, our experimental results aren't out yet. We can't get carried away with a little success!"

"We need to continue the experiment!" Lin Hao said calmly.

"It's only July now, the perfect time for transplanting. I want to get another batch of saplings to continue the experiment!"
