Chapter 594: A little green on the white beach
Qi Ruomu was talking about gathering strength.

It really takes effort.

The ATV continued to drive forward for another kilometer, near the beach.

A small patch of green appears in the vast paleness.

Life! Finally, I see life.

Luo Yihang had never felt so moved by seeing green.

"Is this what you modified? Is that all?" Luo Yihang raised his voice unconsciously and shouted.

Being moved is being moved, being angry is being angry, there is no connection.

Qi Ruomu also shouted: "I worked so hard to get this little, you should be content!"

The car drove closer.

Luo Yihang saw that there was another person here.

"Wenying, you are here too." Luo Yihang jumped out of the car and greeted her enthusiastically.

Wenying looked up at Luo Yihang and smiled, "Here I come."

Then his attention returned to the test bottle in his hand. "0.761, 0.02 lower than three days ago. The effect is good."

The latter sentence was said to Qi Ruomu.

"Yeah~~" Qi Ruomu threw a punch, "Finally halfway done!"

"You've been here for a year, right? And you've only done half of it? Don't tell me that half of it is just this small piece." Luo Yihang pointed in front of him.

It's really just a small piece, maybe only one mu of land at most, not even as big as Luo Yihang's yard.

Qi Ruomu actually admitted, "Yes, there is only a small piece in front of my eyes."

and, "Half? Are you kidding, that's half of the first step."

It seems that he is quite proud.

Luo Yihang was originally joking, but he didn't expect it to be more exaggerated than a joke...

He was really shocked.

"You're... too slow."

If he didn't know Qi Ruomu's character, Luo Yihang would have wanted to ask him if he was defrauding funds.

This is too similar.

"Slow?" Qi Ruomu glared, "Do you know that because of this small achievement, the land I own has soared from 10,000 acres to 70,000 acres. Do you know what kind of land this is?"

"Saline-alkali land." Luo Yihang's answer was absolutely correct.

"Do you know how many levels of saline-alkali land there are?"

Luo Yihang shook his head. This really touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.

"You are uneducated and unskillful." Qi Ruomu curled his lips. Why did he make a personal attack?

"A salt content of 0.3% to 0.6% is considered mild, 0.6% to 0.8% is considered moderate, and 1.0% to 1.2% is considered severe. Severe saline-alkali land means nothing can be grown. Here," Qi Ruomu stretched out his hand and drew a large circle. "The salt content is 1.58%, which is 40% of the salt content of seawater."

The numbers are indeed intuitive.

Luo Yihang immediately understood what kind of catastrophe had happened here.

but.

"I heard that the way to transform saline-alkali land is to flush it with water, right? Have you tried it?"

"Do you know how much water is needed to flush it?" Qi Ruomu asked back, stumping Luo Yihang again.

I could only shake my head again.

"There are 1.58 mu of similar fields. We used irrigation to transform them. It took hundreds of millions of yuan to build all kinds of pipes and equipment, as well as manpower and material resources. The money is easy to talk about, but the water is enough for all the people in Wenchang City to use for a year. And with a salt content of , one flush is definitely not enough. We need to flush the fields at least five times. After the flushing, the salt content has dropped, but the fields are ruined. They are basically no different from sandy land."

Finally, Qi Ruomu concluded: "Generally speaking, a field with such a high salt content can be declared abandoned. But I have been here for a year, and something has grown on it!" Wow, he is so proud of himself.

By the way, I pretended to show off a few of my papers to Luo Yihang.

Application of vermicompost and humic acid fertilizer to improve the microstructure of macroaggregates to enhance salt leaching and inhibit nitrogen loss in saline-alkali soil

Growth and fecundity of earthworms in culture and their bioefficiency in vermicomposting, and the effects of time on earthworm biomass and the chemical, physical and biological properties of vermicomposting

Combining earthworm castings with soil conditioners to improve the multifunctionality of saline-alkali land ecosystems, and the effects of earthworm castings on the physiological responses of plants to salt stress

Involvement of inositol transport and metabolism in salt tolerance of halophyte seedlings

"Quantitative evaluation of the potential of salt-tolerant plants for soil cultivation and soil improvement and potential microbial mechanisms"

They are all long and difficult sentences, all vague and confusing, and all are the results of Qi Ruomu's work in the past year.

Lian Wenying said that last year was the year when Qi Ruomu's scientific research ability exploded.

I have to say, it’s really awesome.

Bang bang bang bang~~
Luo Yihang gave applause out of respect.

Qi Ruomu felt happy.

I wonder how much effort is put behind this small piece of green.

But what is this?

Luo Yihang squatted down and looked at this small piece of land. According to Qi Ruomu's description, these plants grew on saline-alkali land that was even more saline than the severe saline-alkali land, where no grass should grow.

The thick leaves look like grass and vegetables. There is a layer of ice-like substance on the stems and leaves, which is crystal clear.

Qi Ruomu also squatted down, pinched a piece and handed it to Luo Yihang, asking him to taste it.

Luo Yihang threw it into his mouth and chewed it.

"Ah, bah, bah, salty?"

Luo Yihang chewed it and spat it out. How could there be salty plants in the world?

"How fresh! Food grown in saline-alkali land is always salty." Qi Ruomu was so happy that he laughed out loud.

Wenying also smiled happily and handed a bottle of water to Luo Yihang, "This is the salt-tolerant ice grass I told you about. It has a very special physiological mechanism. It can absorb water from high-salinity soil and accumulate salt in its stems, leaves and other organs."

Luo Yihang remembered that when he asked Wenying where she spent the New Year before the New Year, she said she came to Hainan to help Qi Ruomu look for ice grass.

"If we plant this grass, it can absorb the salt in the soil?" Luo Yihang asked.

"Where is it? It's very troublesome. Look at what is written here." Qi Ruomu asked Luo Yihang to look at the sign stuck at the edge of the field.

"Test code, number 17."

Luo Yihang can now recognize the signs on the signs next to the experimental fields.

"Yes, that's right. This is the seventeenth time. The previous sixteen times all failed. Didn't I transport earthworms from you before? The first batch was 3,500 kilograms. The number 3,500 seems small. To put it another way, 20 million earthworms, all died..."

Qi Ruomu is such a nagging person, he keeps talking about every little thing, spouting nonsense, and wasting his time talking to Luo Yihang, trying to show off how hard his life is.

When Qi Ruomu first came last year, he found that it was unrealistic to improve these saline-alkali lands by irrigation.

He quickly developed a plan to improve the soil using biological methods. His original purpose in studying earthworms was to improve saline-alkali land and compacted fields.

Then he asked Luo Yihang for 3,500 kilograms of earthworms and 120 tons of earthworm feces.

That is the amount of improving 70 acres of land.

At first he wanted to keep it simple and use biological improvement methods to directly release it.

I selected an acre of field and put fifty kilograms of earthworms into it.

The next day, I saw that they died so easily. They didn't even have time to work hard. They all died overnight. The farmland was littered with corpses...
