Chapter 1385 Stubbornness
Lin Hao looked at Qu He with surprise, and at the same time felt very uncomfortable.

Anyone with eyes can see that this guy is pretending to take responsibility but actually shirking it, so why are you cheering him on?

However, Qu He had just finished praising her when he changed the subject:

"However, Comrade Wu Yansheng's willingness to take responsibility is commendable, but when it comes to planting trees on the dam, we can't rely on words alone; that won't make the trees grow."

"We should learn more from our comrades who have already succeeded. Comrade Xiaolin was the first expert to successfully plant trees on a large scale in the Bashang area. He has advanced planting experience!"

“And when you planted the trees, we came to see it too. You were making almost all the same mistakes we’ve made over the years!”

"If you had consulted with Comrade Xiaolin more before planting, I think you would have been able to grow far more saplings than this!"

"If I had known, you nine college students would have been responsible for planting 20,000 saplings, while the forestry experts and their group of eight would have not only 20,000 saplings, but also 10,000 shrub seedlings!"

"Less than 30% of what you planted survived, while the mortality rate for what the forestry experts planted was also less than 30%. This speaks volumes!"

"Everyone here is a top student, so I should say something encouraging, but I still want to remind everyone."

"The knowledge you learn in school is mostly theoretical. If you want to plant trees well in the dam area, you need to be able to calm down and combine the theoretical knowledge in the books with practical application!"

Seeing that the group of college students had their heads down, Qu He smiled and encouraged them:
"Haha, I've said a bit too much without realizing it. My words might have been a little harsh, but I'm not trying to discourage you. It's just that this is a crucial moment for the establishment of the mechanized forest farm!"

"After years of hard work, Comrade Xiaolin is about to overcome the final challenge of mechanized planting, which means that a mechanized forest farm will soon be established!"

"The total area of ​​Saihanba is about 2238 square kilometers, which is approximately 3300 million mu!"

Our forest farm is the core of the entire Saihanba area, covering a full 940 square kilometers, with nearly one million mu of land.

"Back then, Xiao Lin planted the saplings on the dam all by himself, then he passed on his experience to Feng Cheng and several other comrades, and then you nine college students came to the dam!"

"Actually, everyone has high expectations for you and hopes that you can achieve great things in Bashang!"

Xiao Lin had talked to us about this before. It's impossible for Xiao Lin to complete the greening work on the dam area by himself alone!
"Even with Feng Cheng joining, there are only two people who understand technology!"

"In the future, many branch farms will be established in Bashang. At that time, we will need many technically skilled people to take the lead. Xiaolin suggests that you be trained as the backbone so that there will be enough technical personnel to guide ordinary workers in planting trees and ensure a sufficient survival rate!"

"Just like when he instructed Captain Zhao and others who lacked professional knowledge, such as the Li brothers who had never been to school, how could they possibly grow trees?"

"When Kobayashi taught them these things, they basically learned them after just one lesson. We hope that you will be the same in the future, and your performance now is amazing!"

"You still need to learn more!" Qu He said meaningfully at the end.

Qu He's words shocked the group of college students. They did not expect Lin Hao to value them so much that he would suggest to his superiors that they be trained as key personnel.

In other words, they will inevitably rise to leadership positions in the future, provided that they can successfully cultivate and grow saplings on a large scale in the dam area.

Lin Hao narrowly managed to retract his forty-meter-long sword by one meter, almost injuring his own comrades.

He said that how could a cadre like Qu He, who came from a political background, not see through Wu Yansheng's little tricks?

To put it bluntly, Wu Yansheng's skill level is so low that he's not even worthy of carrying their shoes; it's just a trick they wouldn't stoop to.

"Comrade Xiao Wu, Director Qu just said that you are the new generation of intellectuals, and you need to show your real skills, otherwise just shouting slogans won't do you any good!"

In closing, Yu Zheng earnestly offered the following advice:
"That's all for today. Everyone should go back and rest. We all hope that under Team Leader Lin's leadership, we can achieve results as soon as possible."

After all the college students had left, Yu Zheng smiled and said to Lin Hao:
"Xiao Lin, don't be angry. These college students are all fresh out of school, it's normal for them to be arrogant. Feng Cheng was like that back then too!"

"Although these people all have their own ulterior motives, they are willing to give up their originally favorable conditions and take the initiative to come to Bashang to plant trees, so we should be more understanding."

"Haha, Director Yu, you underestimate me. I have the magnanimity for that!" Lin Hao laughed, then looked at Yu Zheng and said:

"They should have learned from this experience, which will make their work easier in the future."

Qu He also said with a smile:

"Yes, I originally wanted to encourage them, but one bad apple spoils the whole bunch!"

"But it's alright. I think there are still some college students who are willing to do practical things, such as Qin Xuemei and Da Kui, and Yan Xiangli is also quite good. As long as we can get these people on board, there is already a lot to be gained."

"I was just being naive before!" Yu Zheng couldn't help but sigh as he arrived.

"I thought that as long as you were a college student, you would be an expert with the same abilities as me. I didn't expect that you would be a troublemaker."

The group chatted all the way, and Lin Hao even brought Li Zhong and Yu Zheng to see the results of their tree planting in the dam area.

"Lin Hao, that's amazing! With your achievements, we can now apply to our superiors to establish a mechanized forest farm and begin construction."

"The key is whether this batch of fully-grown saplings can achieve a satisfactory survival rate. We'll have to rely on you, Lin Hao, for that in the future."

After walking through all the groves, Li Zhong went to see Lin Hao's design for planting trees in bottles, and was amazed by Lin Hao's ingenuity.

"Secretary Li, you're too kind. We were just thinking about it in our spare time. Whether it will succeed depends on further research and the support of the leaders in the bureau."

"By the way, Director Yu, I told Xiao Liu last time that I estimate this year's snowfall might be heavier than in previous years, and supplies might not be able to be delivered."

"If possible, it would be best to send the supplies up in advance. I wonder if Liu Jianshe has reported this to the bureau?"

As they were talking, Lin Hao suddenly thought of the matter of supplies. He remembered that in the episode, Old Liu had frozen to death on the way while transporting supplies. Lin Hao didn't want him to suffer the same fate in the future, so he was taking precautions in advance!
Although he still had some wild game supplies, Lin Hao didn't want to be passive.

Of course, if it still happens during heavy snow when delivering supplies, he can just secretly lend a hand!
"No, I haven't heard about it. This should be Lao Qu's responsibility. Have you received any reports?"

"I didn't!" Upon hearing Lin Hao's words, Yu Zhenglai and Li Zhong exchanged a glance, and then both felt angry.

Yu Zhenglai knew how capable Lin Hao was as an expert; if he said it was going to snow heavily, then it definitely wouldn't be light.

If supplies don't arrive, won't all the college students starve to death on the dam? This is of paramount importance for the afforestation of Saihanba.

"It's nothing, Director Yu. It was probably something else that kept us up. Anyway, it's still early and not in a rush. We're just being prepared."

"However, I still hope that the director will make arrangements in advance after returning," Lin Hao reminded him finally.

"Don't worry, Xiaolin, I'll arrange everything properly when I get back, and I reckon we'll have to come again!"

"After we apply to build the forest farm, foreign experts will come here to inspect and provide guidance. Once the inspection is passed, we can go all out and get things done."

Looking at the saplings in front of him, which were already taller than a person, Yu Zhenglai imagined them growing into towering trees in the future, and his tone became much more assertive.

"Alright, then we look forward to the arrival of all the leaders." Although Lin Hao said this, he knew that this so-called expert was completely unreliable.

That expert, let's just call him Peiqi, believed that trees absolutely couldn't grow here, and he looked down on Chinese people from the bottom of his heart, and didn't want to give any guidance.

From the very beginning, Saihanba was condemned to death, and even when the wind-suppressing tree was finally seen, it was considered an isolated case!
······
They then returned to the camp, but by then Qu and the others had already left, leaving only a car and a driver.

After seeing Yu Zhenglai and Li Zhong off, it was almost lunchtime. The college students seemed to know what Lin Hao was going to do, and they were all waiting in the conference room.

"Oh, so conscientious, all waiting?" Lin Hao found it somewhat amusing to see the expressions of those awaiting judgment.

Sigh, they're all a bunch of college students who don't know what sorrow is. Sometimes they act really naive.

"Alright, I've already criticized the leaders who deserved criticism and encouraged the leaders who deserved encouragement. I'll just emphasize it again here!"

"Here, you can't get anything done by talking; you have to rely on everyone's real hard work."

"Actually, you don't need to be discouraged. Although you failed this time, many of them could actually have been planted!"

"If you take good care of them, at least two or three thousand trees will survive. If you round it up, it will be a small grove. That's your achievement."

"Also, I have something else to say!" Lin Hao then said:
"The matter is that the bureau has sent another 100,000 seeds this time. These seeds will be stored away and then used for full-light seedling cultivation next year."

"Here's what I'm thinking: after you've finished your regular jobs, you can follow me and learn the full-light seedling cultivation method, starting with storing seeds in the snow!"

"What are your thoughts?" Lin Hao then looked at all the college students.

Lin Hao did not make a decision on his own, but first asked the other college students what they thought.

"Team leader, cultivating seedlings in the dam area is an imperative!" Qin Xuemei announced loudly to the group.
"The team leader has already proven with facts that the seedlings cultivated using the full-light seedling raising method in Bashang have a survival rate of 90%, and only such seedlings can meet the requirements of mechanized planting!"

However, Qin Xuemei changed the subject at this point:

"However, the full-light seedling raising method also has its drawbacks, namely, the seed germination rate is less than one-third!"

Lin Hao shook his head, then said with a confident expression:

"After adopting full-light seedling cultivation, the yield will indeed be greatly reduced due to the germination rate problem, but even if it is only one-third of the previous yield, it will be good!"

After these thirds are brought out of the mountains, their survival rate will greatly increase, reaching 90%, because they are no longer as fragile as before and can withstand the high-altitude sun and strong winds and snowstorms!

"Therefore, I would rather let a large number of seedlings die in the nursery than let my comrades work in vain!"

"Compared to the time before, you have already experienced planting trees. The usual watering and later management are very tiring and will consume a lot of our energy!"

"But once mechanized planting begins in the future, will there be enough labor to manage the seedlings planted by machines?"

"That's the crux of the problem, comrade!" Lin Hao said with a hint of helplessness.

Qin Xuemei was somewhat moved upon hearing this, because with just a little thought, she realized that Lin Hao was right!

However, she was still somewhat unwilling. On one hand, she wanted to show her excellent side in front of Lin Hao, and on the other hand, she also felt a sense of resentment.

Are you really not as good as him at all, since you're both college students?

Finally, a thought flashed through Qin Xuemei's mind, and she said again:

"Team Leader Lin, Meng Yue and I are majoring in seedling cultivation, so we still want to give it a try and see what the conventional shading seedling cultivation method is like!"

"Although the full-light seedling method you proposed is indeed impressive, the shade seedling method is currently the most mainstream and mature seedling method."

"However, what you said makes sense. If planting the seedlings still requires a lot of manpower, resources, and time for management, then mechanized planting would be meaningless!"

"So here's what I'm thinking: we can move the seedling cultivation site to the dam area; maybe that will pave the way!"

"This not only increases the yield of seedlings, but also allows the seedlings to quickly adapt to the environment on the dam, achieving both goals while reducing transportation costs."

When Qin Xuemei talked about seeds, she immediately gained confidence. However, she still did not give up the shading seedling method that she was most familiar with, after all, this was the method she had learned to cultivate seedlings.

Moreover, she believes that as long as the cultivation site is changed to Bashang, it will definitely be successful, even if the survival rate is slightly lower, it will still be better than the full-light seedling cultivation method!
“Yes, Xuemei is right!” As soon as Qin Xuemei finished speaking, Wu Yansheng immediately stood up to support her:
"The main reason for our failure this time was the tight schedule; we didn't carefully consider the environment and the condition of the saplings!"

"So this time, Xuemei will lead everyone to cultivate seedlings in the laboratory. We'll definitely be able to grow our own seedlings in Bashang."

"I believe that as long as we apply all the knowledge we have learned, we will definitely succeed and be able to restore the Saihanba forest."
