Chapter 45: The Foundation of Success

  Compared with the cleverness of Little Lion, Xiao Hei appears exceptionally ferocious due to its body type and nature, making He Yuanzheng happy while also giving him a headache.

  Usually, Xiao Hei is only close to the people of the He family, and he is not very friendly to others. Moreover, he has a strong attacking nature, so He Yuanzheng does not dare to give him too much freedom, and most of the time he is trapped in an iron cage.

  "Second brother, can I take Little Hei over and raise it for a while?"

  To know, Xiao Hei's worth is tens of millions, even if Duan Yue was sold piecemeal, it wouldn't be enough for a single digit of Xiao Hei's price. It would be quite difficult to get He Yuanzheng to agree. Duan Yue just wants to use the magical effect of 'opening liquid' to make Xiao Hei more intelligent and become the real king of Tibetan Mastiffs!

  But this reason is definitely unspeakable!

  "No problem! Anyway, following you, I can also take it easy. There are too many decoration things on the hotel side!" He didn't expect that He Yuan agreed in one mouthful, without any hesitation at all.

  In He Yuanzheng's eyes, Xiaohei is a family member he brought down from the plateau since childhood. The external price cannot measure Xiaohei's position in He Yuanzheng's heart. It's strange to say that Xiaohei doesn't care about anyone else, but looks at Duan Lei with different eyes. Even if he hands him over to Duan for a while, there won't be any problem.

  As soon as He Yuanzheng agreed, Duan Wei let out a cheer and hugged Xiao Hei onto the small truck's carriage, where one hundred saplings of small-leafed oak trees had already been loaded.

  Seeing Duan Lei's excited look, He Yuanzheng smiled slightly and didn't say anything else. He started the car and sped towards the address given by Duan Lei.

  …………

  After arriving at Cai Village, Duan Yue and He Yuanzheng unloaded the small potted plants from the car and moved them into a sunshade set up beside the house. Meanwhile, Xiao Hei took the opportunity to run around and get familiar with the new environment.

  "Stone, you've done a pretty good job here, except for the surroundings being a bit poor!" After moving the saplings, He Yuanzheng walked around the house and outside, somewhat admiring.

  Duan Lei's laboratory, although small, was fully equipped with all sorts of experimental equipment and living facilities, looking neat and tidy. He Yanzheng suddenly had more confidence in Duan Lei for no reason.

  "The direction of the topic is mainly the governance of pollutants, and this is also a unique condition. Otherwise, near Haicheng, where else can you find such a place?" Duan Yue said while making a small nest for Xiao Hei.

  "Haha, you've got high aspirations, kid!" He Yuanzheng chuckled and said: "When the time comes and research is successful, I'll get Second Brother to lend a hand, so I can bask in his glory!"

  As the boss of a gardening company, He Yuanzheng is not an expert in this field, but he has heard about some environmental concepts and plants. He knows that if Duan Lei can make a breakthrough in this area, it will be a goldmine. Of course, deep down, He Yuanzheng doesn't really believe that Duan Lei can come up with anything, but on the surface, he won't discourage Duan Lei's enthusiasm either.

  "Second brother, just you wait and see!" Duan Yue knew that He Yuanzheng didn't have that much confidence in him, after all, pollution treatment was a cutting-edge field of scientific research, not something that could be accomplished in his simple laboratory.

  However, in Duan Yue's heart, He Yuanzheng is a good partner. In the future, after Xiaoye Cong's improvement is successful, sales can be handed over to him.

  After some small talk, He Yuanzheng still had things to attend to at the hotel, so he hastily bid farewell to Duan Yue and Xiao Hei, and drove back to the city.

  After watching the small truck drive away, Duan Wei returned to the house and took out the "awakening liquid" that Xiao Shizi had left over from last time. He poured it into a bowl for Xiao Hei. Although Xiao Hei was unfamiliar with the contents of the bowl in front of him, he still drank the "awakening liquid" obediently due to his trust in Duan Wei.

  Seeing Xiao Hei adapt to the environment here, Duan Lei didn't bother with him anymore, closed the door and went into the laboratory to configure the solution, preparing to improve Xiao Ye.

  The last time, the nutrient solution for carnivorous plants obtained from Dingding was too effective and not conducive to commercial promotion, so Duan Lei needs to slightly reduce the effect of the nutrient solution, allowing the small-leaved Arum to absorb pollutants without producing fruit or seeds containing heavy metals.

  If it were an ordinary person, wanting to accomplish such a feat could be described as 'an impossible task', but with Didi guiding him on the side, Duan Lei naturally didn't have to worry about the outcome.

  Although there is no template for the pollution-treating plant that Duan Yue requested on Planet Makka, as a super intelligent being, Dingding can still infer and guide Duan Yue in adjusting the nutrient solution.

  A little improvement to adapt to the needs of large-scale commercial promotion on earth.

  So, Duan Yue devoted all his time to improving the culture medium, except for riding a bike to the farmer's market every day to buy fresh beef for Xiao Hei. As for Xiao Hei, after taking the "awakening liquid", his spirituality had improved significantly, and he already had his own judgment on some of Duan Yue's instructions. However, Duan Yue was still not daring to give him too much freedom, after all, he possessed a very strong attacking nature, and before completely trusting him, Duan Yue would not take the risk.

  With Dingding's guidance, Duan Lei's progress was quite rapid. He was gradually moving towards becoming a technical expert like those from the planet of Makka. Of course, at present, Duan Lei was still in the stage of knowing what to do but not why he was doing it. Nevertheless, even with this state of affairs, he was able to cope with the current situation.

  It only took three days for Duan Yue to prepare a suitable plant cultivation solution, and the work in the reagent laboratory was temporarily completed. As for whether the cultivation solution is effective or not, it still needs to be judged through practice.

  Duan Yue found Huang Jingcai, spent 500 yuan, and asked him to find a few people to dig out 100 tree pits on the edge of the pond and plant small leafy trees in them. The edge of this pond was originally planted with some fruits such as wood melon and peach trees, but with the increasing pollution, these fruit trees have all died now, leaving only some wooden stakes remaining in place.

  With money in hand, Huang Jingcai was full of energy and called two villagers. After spending a morning, the tree pits were all dug out. After all, Duan Lei's requirements for the tree pits were not deep. After spending an afternoon, the 100 small-leaf figs brought by Duan Lei from Green Source Gardening were successfully planted on the shore of the pond. A touch of green suddenly appeared in the forbidden zone of life, which was also a bit novel.

  "Xiao Duan, what's the use of planting these small-leaved melons?" Huang Jingcai asked with some curiosity.

  The water and soil around here have been completely polluted by heavy metals and various chemical reagents, basically nothing can survive. But seeing Duan Lei's enthusiastic appearance, Huang Jingcai really couldn't figure out what Duan Lei wanted to do no matter how hard he thought about it.

  "Hehe, this is our school's project, studying the anti-pollution ability of small-leafed plants. As for whether they can survive or not, we don't require that, just hope to get some data and conclusions through experimentation." Duan Lei replied with a smile, after all, who can't talk nonsense?

  "Oh, I see!" Upon hearing that it was a school research experiment, Huang Jingcai lost interest and took the money from Duan Yue's hand before heading home.

  Duan Yue prepared the nutrient solution in ten different proportions, each of which was used to water ten small leafy plants. He planned to find the most suitable proportion of nutrient solution through experimentation and then apply it to large-scale cultivation of small leafy plants.

  These hundred small-leafed rhododendrons before our eyes are the foundation stone of his success!
