Chapter 62: Old Appearance New Look

  As for the situation in the exhibition hall, Duan Yue felt normal after listening to it. After all, people have defensive psychology and profit-seeking thoughts. As long as these two points are calculated accurately, things will be easy to handle. Of course, the key is that the effect shown by 'Zhihui' made these customers feel moved, which led to the idea of trying out.

  The details of 'Zhi Wu Rong' are clearly understood, and the market prospects are also deeply believed. Now, customers are still hesitant, but once they try it successfully, 'Zhi Wu Rong' will usher in explosive development.

  At that time, customers waiting to buy 'pollution-absorbing plants' will line up at the door of 'Green Source Gardening', and the demand for 'pollution-absorbing plants' will rise to a new level. Duan Lei does not want to expose himself and his experimental base to the public eye for the time being, so 'Green Source Gardening' and He Yuanzheng are a good shield.

  Duanyi didn't pay much attention to the exhibition, but instead focused on cultivating a large number of pollution-tolerant elms in the experimental base, and at the same time beautified the environment inside and outside the base.

  If it were He Yuanzheng or Tang Lier who came to the experimental base, they would definitely be shocked by the scene in front of them!

  When the wall was first built, although Duan Yue emphasized that all construction waste must be removed, the quality of work done by Huang Jingzhong's team was not bad, but the details were not handled properly. On the outside of the wall, there were scattered remains of construction waste and some excavated soil and rocks, which looked particularly eye-catching.

  But now, the ground outside the wall has been covered with green turf, and the original unsightly construction waste has disappeared, leaving only a lush and flat lawn in front of people. During this period, Duan Lei used some spare time to configure the lowest concentration of "lawn fertilizer" to transform the grass species of the carpet grass, and then planted it on the outer wall.

  Although these grasses do not have the strong decontamination ability like 'Phytoremediation', they can grow on lightly polluted land and decompose substances such as stones, construction waste in the soil, making barren land fertile again.

  Duan Yue started cultivating a batch of grass after school was let out, and began sowing them around the walls. In just half a month's time, he saw obvious results, as these grasses quickly occupied the ground under the wall with the help of nutrient solution. It could be said that this was also a weakened version of 'devouring grass', and Duan Yue had some plans in mind.

  The formation of arable land on Earth is often the result of long-term natural evolution and extensive human activities, so fertile soil is a precious wealth for humans. This is also an important reason why countries still need to tightly guard the red line of arable land area even at the current stage of economic development. Now, with the increasing human activities, the negative impact of human activities on soil has begun to outweigh the positive effects. For example, large-scale monoculture and widespread use of chemical fertilizers have also led to soil degradation, such as decreased fertility, water salinization, alkalization, desertification, and soil pollution.

  In recent years, the sandstorms in Beijing and northern and northeastern China in spring are a very obvious example. Over-cultivation and development have caused increasingly severe water and soil losses and desertification in Inner Mongolia, sounding an alarm for people.

  Duan Wei cultivated a weakened version of 'Swallowing Grass', also taking this into consideration, compared to 'Pollution Oak', the cultivation of 'Swallowing Grass' is more convenient, and may even have a broader market.

  To safeguard his own interests, Duan Yue has cut off the methods of air-rooted reproduction and branch-insertion reproduction during the cultivation of 'pollution-absorbing plants', which can only acquire the ability to absorb pollutants after being watered with nutrient solution. Considering that the cultivated 'pollution-absorbing plants' are relatively large in size, which is not conducive to long-distance transportation and rapid promotion, Duan Yue has decided on the future direction of his business.

  After 'Zhi Wu Rong' started to hit the market, Duan Yue would no longer sell the finished products of 'Zhi Wu Rong', but instead provide 'Zhi Wu Rong cultivation fluid' to his cooperative partners, thus avoiding himself from being too laborious while grasping the most core technology.

  As for the weakened version of the devouring grass, it is quite easy to cultivate. Just soak the seeds in a nutrient solution for 24 hours and then let them air dry naturally. The seeds are small in size and light in weight, so they can be mailed nationwide via express delivery. With such a large area of desertification and barren mountains across the country, the market potential for devouring grass as an 'air purifier' may be even broader.

  The outer wall, Duan Lin planted a large number of morning glories at the foot of the wall. Under the catalysis of nutrient solution, they have completely occupied the entire wall surface, just like a green wall body. If the morning glories bloom in the future, the whole base will look like it's trapped in a sea of flowers from afar, and it will definitely attract people's attention.

  It turns out that these beautified plans were all brought up by Dingding, in her words, although the base is full of crises, but the facade must be made to look good, after all, girls are all fond of beauty.

  Although Duan Lei still had some doubts about whether the biological wisdom brain had a gender difference, he still obediently followed Dingding's instructions and decorated the outer wall of the base with extraordinary beauty.

  Inside the base, Duan Yue not only planted a large number of weakened versions of Swallowing Grass to decompose and improve the soil inside the base, but also planted a weeping willow every three meters along the wall.

  Now, these weeping willow saplings pulled from 'Green Source Gardening' have taken root and grown within the base, but for now, it's hard to see what special functions they have. Duan Lei also didn't overuse nutrient solution to catalyze these weeping willows, after all, if they grow too fast, anyone can spot some unusual places.

  Anyway, the security level of the base doesn't need to be mentioned for now, with the support of 'Devil's Rose', it's enough. Until later when the base attracts widespread attention from the outside world, these weeping willows will start to come in handy. According to Dingdang's words, these weeping willows are one of the best carriers for implanting biological computers in the future, and at that time, a biological monitoring system can be built, even if Duan Lei is not in the laboratory, he can still grasp everything inside the base as clearly as his fingers.

  Listening to Dingding's description, Duan Yue has more expectations for the future and is full of energy!

  It only took a few days for the experimental base to be transformed, and if it were ordinary Earth technology, in this cold winter season, not to mention planting grass, even transplanting trees might not have good results. It has to be said that the biological technology of the Maca civilization is far beyond that of Earth.

  The promotion of 'Zhi Wu Rong' is just the first step. As long as it makes a name for itself, Duan Yue can then roll out more and better technologies and products, gradually accumulating wealth, further opening up Dingding's database, and gaining more capital to stand on. This is a virtuous cycle!

  However, Duan Yue also began to notice another increasingly tricky problem!
