Chapter 1371 Feng Cheng, look at these stubborn brats, don't they remind you of yourself back then?

"You want to transplant these seedlings? Xuemei already said they're all substandard seedlings. How can they possibly survive?"

At this moment, before Qin Xuemei, who was standing in front of Lin Hao, could speak, Wu Yansheng jumped out again to make his presence known.

"Heh, you think you can just say they won't grow because they can't? Then tell me, how do you judge these seedlings to be inferior?"

Lin Hao ignored Wu Yansheng and instead asked Qin Xuemei, who specializes in seedling cultivation.

“Saplings can be divided into strong saplings, weak saplings, and inferior saplings. Strong saplings have a high probability of survival, weak saplings may have a 50% survival rate, but if inferior saplings have a 10% survival rate, that's already a blessing.”

"To determine whether a seedling is a strong seedling, one should look at whether its branches are lush, whether the root-to-stem ratio is reasonable, whether the main trunk is thick, whether there are any pests or diseases, and whether there are terminal buds."

"However, judging from these aspects, only 40% of the saplings in this nursery are strong saplings, while the rest are weak or inferior saplings!"

"If they are planted, the overall survival rate will be no more than 30%, because even strong seedlings will suffer losses, and not all of them will survive."

Qin Xuemei was not intimidated by the scene before her and answered Lin Hao's questions in an orderly manner, which made Lin Hao nod in agreement.

"Hmm, that's right, your professional knowledge is quite solid!"

Lin Hao was never stingy with talented people, and then looked at Qin Xuemei with a smile.

"Then can you determine why these seedlings have grown like this? What are the specific reasons?" Lin Hao kept pressing for an answer.

"This~!" Qin Xuemei frowned, then asked, "It should be a problem with the soil pH level, as well as the altitude and climate!"

"Hmph, those are all answers learned from books, vague and generalized!" Lin Hao said disdainfully.

"Anyway, the wider the range of answers, the less likely the answer will be wrong, right?"

However, Wu Yansheng, standing to the side, said as if it were a matter of course:
"We've only just arrived and haven't been sleeping well. We don't have any data here, we don't even know the pH value of the soil. What other answer can we give us!"

Lin Hao sneered and said, "You yourselves said that without the data here, you don't even know the soil's pH level. What makes you think you can just pull up the seedlings on your own?"

"Since you know nothing, what makes you so sure that these seedlings, which look like they are growing poorly, are inferior seedlings?"

As Lin Hao spoke, he pulled out a seedling that looked very poor and said, "Look, this is the second-rate seedling you were talking about!"

As Lin Hao spoke, he placed the root in front of Qin Xuemei and pointed to it, saying:

"See these newly sprouted white lateral roots and fibrous roots? Since you are a seedling professional, you should understand what these white lateral roots represent. Didn't you notice them when you were pulling up the seedlings?"

Lin Hao's explanation left Qin Xuemei speechless, because these white lateral roots and fibrous roots meant that these inferior seedlings were absorbing nutrients more effectively and were transforming into stronger seedlings.

If these inferior seedlings are rashly pulled out and then transplanted to other nurseries for cultivation, their growth will inevitably be interrupted, turning them into inferior seedlings!
A group of college students who had just been excitedly pulling up seedlings carefully examined the "inferior seedlings" they had dug up and, just as Lin Hao had said, immediately realized that they were in the wrong.

They were wrong to try to pull up the seedlings without the nursery manager's permission.

"Tell me again, what else have you figured out?" Lin Hao asked Qin Xuemei again when everyone remained silent.

Seeing that Lin Hao was testing her professional abilities, Qin Xuemei immediately said:
“I noticed that these saplings are turning yellow, so I guess the climate here isn’t suitable for their growth!”

Lin Hao shook his head in disappointment and said:
"It's obvious they lack practical experience. In the natural environment, it's all about natural selection and survival of the fittest!"

“We cultivated the saplings in the nursery down below the dam, and they grew to be very strong. But after they were transplanted to the dam, they couldn’t adapt to the environment here and died very quickly!”

“But we see that a lot of saplings have already been planted on the dam, and they’ve all survived in large patches!” Qin Xuemei asked, puzzled.

At this moment, Feng Cheng took the initiative to say, "Before, only Lin Hao could successfully plant saplings on the dam, because he was the only expert!"

"Unless we use professional methods like schools to carefully care for each sapling, but the problem is, how many people in Bashang have the professional knowledge of seedling cultivation and management like Lin Hao?"

"How many technicians would we need if we were to cultivate this on a large scale?"

Lin Hao and Feng Cheng's words immediately silenced everyone. It was obvious that the method of careful cultivation was only suitable for small-scale planting and would waste a lot of manpower and resources, which was clearly not worth it.

At this moment, Lin Hao continued:
"As for why these seedlings look like this, it's because we broke with convention and used the snow storage method to cultivate seedlings under full light."

"Only by allowing them to take root and sprout on the dam and actively adapt to the climate and environment there can large-scale mechanized planting be possible in the future!"

Lin Hao didn't harbor much ill will towards these college students. Firstly, it wouldn't hurt to have more people working, and secondly, regardless of their reasons, since they had volunteered to come to Bashang, Lin Hao would look at them with more respect for that alone.

Except for a few self-righteous individuals!

Of course, Lin Hao would welcome those college students who could stay, and he didn't care about those who didn't want to stay.

"What? Full-light seedling cultivation method? These seedlings were cultivated using the full-light seedling cultivation method?" Upon hearing this, Qin Xuemei's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly:

"So you're the one who proposed the all-light seedling cultivation method? You're Lin Hao? I thought it was just a coincidence of names!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuemei was immediately surprised and then somewhat excited to learn that Lin Hao was the one who proposed the all-light seedling cultivation method.

At first, when Qin Xuemei heard that Lin Hao was an expert, she just felt that the name was familiar, but she did not expect that this Lin Hao was the same Lin Hao who proposed the full-light seedling cultivation method.

"Yes, I am Lin Hao, but now is not the time to talk about that. Now tell me, what else have you figured out? I won't blame you." Lin Hao smiled as he looked at Qin Xuemei.

"What's wrong with Brother Lin today? Has he taken a fancy to this girl?"

Seeing Lin Hao's beaming smile, Feng Cheng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but start gossiping.

Not only Feng Cheng, but also Yu Zhenglai, Zhao Tianshan and others looked at Lin Hao with meaningful expressions.

However, among the group of college students, there was one who was staring intently at him.

"That's what I saw. I was wrong."

Everything Qin Xuemei had just thought of was defeated by Lin Hao's all-light seedling cultivation method.

"That's it? Is that all? Well, let me tell you something else. The seedlings here, after being stored in the snow and treated before sowing, have a survival rate of over 90%."

"However, the environment around the dam is extremely complex, with varying pH levels in different areas. Just the pH issue alone is a major headache!"

“The pH level is different on the surface and below 20 centimeters, and it is also different at intervals of more than ten meters!” “Therefore, we have to take a comprehensive approach to planting trees and cultivating seedlings. Two years ago, Engineer Chen from the Forestry Bureau and I explored this approach, so the nurseries we designed and the seedlings we planted can basically survive in Saihanba.”

"Moreover, before planting saplings, we first make grass checkerboards and then plant a batch of shrubs."

"These shrubs have deep and abundant roots, which allows them to exist in Saihanba and also helps to prevent wind and fix sand. Then, by planting saplings on this basis, we have successfully completed the first step."

"After that, it's just a matter of watering, fertilizing, and managing it step by step!"

"Since we arrived here, we have planted more than 37,000 trees that have survived!"

"Next month, when this batch of seedlings will be transplanted, I hope everyone will work together."

Looking at the group of college students, Yu Zheng also loudly encouraged them:

"Good, Expert Lin is right. From now on, we'll still have to rely on you. As long as we can guarantee the survival rate and grow trees in Saihanba, then we'll have succeeded!"

"From now on, you will be a team, and Lin Hao will be your team leader. I hope you will learn more from expert Lin, adapt to the environment of the dam as soon as possible, and strive to restore the vast forest of Saihanba as soon as possible."

Yu Zhenglai felt somewhat disappointed with these college students, but he believed that with training, they would be able to grow rapidly under Lin Hao's guidance, just like Feng Cheng.

"I disagree! I don't accept this!"

Yu Zhenglai had just announced the order when Wu Yansheng jumped out.

"Wu Yansheng, you—!" Qin Xuemei wanted to say something, but she didn't finish her sentence. Now Qin Xuemei was even more disappointed in Wu Yansheng.

"Hmph, why should he be the team leader? We're all college students. Just because he came first, does that mean we have to listen to him?"

When Yu Zheng saw Wu Yansheng, he couldn't help but frown, feeling that this guy was a troublemaker.

Remembering that this guy came to Chengde specifically for Qin Xuemei, he immediately realized that her intentions were not to contribute to the country at all.

However, in response to Wu Yansheng's questions, Yu Zhenglai explained:
"Expert Lin was among the first batch of college graduates to come to the dam, and he is also the most qualified and experienced. Moreover, Expert Lin was the first to plant a large area of ​​forest on the dam!"

"So after our research, we decided to appoint expert Lin as your team leader. What are your thoughts?"

Lin Hao recognized Wu Yansheng and immediately stepped forward, saying:
"What's this student's name? What's their major? Why are you objecting?"

Wu Yansheng said with a proud expression:

“My name is Wu Yansheng, and I majored in afforestation. I’m the real expert when it comes to planting trees and creating forests, so I should be the team leader!”

Looking at these troublemakers, Lin Hao knew that if he didn't subdue them first, they would definitely become unruly later.

"Looks like you're not convinced!" Lin Hao said with a smile. "Since you want to be the team leader, all talk and no action is meaningless. So show me some convincing results!"

"I've been planting trees in Bashang for three years. I'm responsible for more than half of the trees there. The rest were planted by the advance team under my guidance!"

"You say you're a professional, so what are your achievements?" Lin Hao asked with a smile.

"I—!" Wu Yansheng was speechless for a moment, then a thought flashed through his mind and he blurted out:
I'm a university student majoring in afforestation. The little you've accomplished is just because you started earlier than me. If I had more time, I would definitely have done better than you!
"However, we can't compete with afforestation in a short time, so let's compete with strength!"

Wu Yansheng introduced himself and realized that he couldn't compare to Lin Hao in terms of afforestation, so he decided to have a strength contest with Lin Hao.

Moreover, Lin Hao didn't seem to be a particularly formidable figure, so Wu Yansheng decided to use his strengths to exploit Lin Hao's weaknesses.

"Are you sure you want to compete with Lin Hao in strength? And nothing else? You're such a frail college student, how can you compete with Lin Hao in strength?" Zhao Tianshan looked at Wu Yansheng with suspicion.

Having spent a lot of time with Lin Hao, he naturally knew Lin Hao's strength very well. Even he, a veteran, was no match for Lin Hao. Where did this recent college graduate get his confidence?
Not only Zhao Tianshan, but also Feng Cheng and other team members on the dam cast mournful glances. Why did you have to choose Lin Hao's specialty of all things?

"Fine, since you insist on competing, I'll grant your wish!" Lin Hao said, looking at Wu Yansheng.

"However, the decision of who becomes the team leader is not up to you or me; it depends on Director Yu!"

After Lin Hao finished speaking, he looked at Yu Zhenglai. Yu Zhenglai could tell from Lin Hao's eyes that Lin Hao was confident, so he stepped forward to show that what Lin Hao said was useful.

"Alright, let's have a contest of strength!" Yu Zhenglai said nonchalantly. He knew Lin Hao well, and since Wu Yansheng was not convinced, it would be good for Lin Hao to teach him a lesson.

Lin Hao was somewhat surprised. Yu Zhenglai was too casual. How could he agree to something like this?

However, judging from Yu Zhenglai's expression, Lin Hao instantly understood that Yu Zhenglai wanted to use him to suppress Wu Yansheng, this troublemaker.

Lin Hao smiled and then said, "Alright, since we're comparing strength, how do you want to compare? A literary contest or a martial contest? If it's a literary contest, let's arm wrestle! If it's a martial contest, let's have a fight!"

"Fighting is so uncivilized, let's arm wrestle instead!"

Looking at Lin Hao's pretty face, but noticing that his hands weren't very rough, Wu Yansheng immediately challenged him to an arm-wrestling match.

Because he felt that Lin Hao's hands were not covered in calluses like Feng Cheng's.

However, he did not know that Lin Hao's physical attributes were already dozens of times better than those of an ordinary person, not to mention the many skills he possessed, so there was no way for them to change any further.

"Alright, let's arm wrestle then. This isn't the place, let's go to the camp!"

Then Yu Zheng and Qu He led the group of college students ahead, while Wu Yansheng eagerly boasted to Qin Xuemei about how he would defeat Lin Hao and become the group leader.

Lin Hao, Feng Cheng, and Zhao Tianshan's group of teammates quietly slipped to the back of the group.

"Hehe, this kid really bit the hand that feeds him today, running into Lin Hao!" Feng Cheng mocked with a laugh.

Looking at Feng Cheng, who was recklessly mocking Wu Yansheng, he recalled the time when Feng Cheng first came to the dam and challenged him.

Lin Hao smiled, somewhat speechless, and said:
"Feng Cheng, look at these stubborn guys, don't they remind you of yourself when you first came to the dam!"

"Uh~!" Feng Cheng, who was speaking enthusiastically, was speechless upon hearing this.

When he first arrived at the dam, he was full of resentment and arrogance, thinking that he was better than Lin Hao, and he even had a match with Lin Hao.

As a result, the environment on the dam was completely disrupted, and not a single sapling survived. In the end, it was only with Lin Hao's help that the saplings were successfully planted.
