"Chinese Academy of Sciences Ecological Research Base."
When Lu Ning came here, the first thing he saw was a huge building.
This base is located at the foot of a large mountain and is surrounded by the mountains behind it.
The foot of Guangguang Mountain covers an area of more than one thousand acres, and more than one thousand acres are divided into multiple botanical gardens. Various rare plants and strains of bacteria are planted in each botanical garden.
There are even some animals and insects cultivated.
This base was jointly planned by the country and various famous schools in the country, for the purpose of providing exploration and research for top domestic students.
"so big."
Lin Siyu on the side sighed with emotion.
This is also her first time here.
I heard the teacher say it before, but I didn't expect it to be bigger than I thought.
Today, Lu Ning's team is led by Professor Ma Guangke, and together with Lu Ning, there are five people in total.
In addition to Lu Ning and the others, Lu Ning also saw many students accompanied by their teachers on the way.
Entry to the base is very strict, because many plants and bacteria inside are toxic and are contraband in society. They can only be observed inside and are not allowed to be taken out of the base.
So whether you are entering or coming out, everyone must be stripped for inspection.
In addition to stripping for inspection, you must also wear protective clothing issued by the base.
After everyone had finished checking and came out, they all put on uniform white protective clothing.
This kind of protective clothing exposes the face and hands and is not as airtight as the protective clothing in the laboratory.
At this time, five young men and women, two men and three women, came from the side.
They also wear protective clothing.
"Welcome to the base, we will accompany you to visit the botanical gardens in each park."
It was said that I was accompanying a few people on a tour, but it should also have a supervisory role.
'It seems to be stricter than imagined. 'Lu Ning said in his heart.
Accompanying him was a girl.
"Hello, my name is Wang Jingwen."
"My name is Lu Ning."
The other person had a smile on his face and was very polite to Lu Ning.
----------
The base is divided into multiple parks.
Some special plants are grown in the greenhouse.
Every time she goes to a park, Wang Jingwen will act as a commentator and give Lu Ning a detailed explanation.
Lu Ning was only interested in drugs, so he separated from Professor Ma Guangke and others and asked Wang Jingwen to take him to see them alone.
After a while, the other party took him to a park dedicated to growing marijuana.
"Cannabis, scientific name: Cannabis sativa L. It is a plant of the genus Cannabis in the Moraceae family. It is an annual upright herb, 1 to 3 meters high. The branches have longitudinal grooves and dense gray-white appressed hairs. The leaves are palmately divided, and the lobes are lanceolate or linear. The shape is lanceolate, specifically referring to the dried flowers and trichomes of female plants. Cannabis cultivation can be done by peeling off the hemp and harvesting the seeds. There are female and male plants. The male plant is called Qi, and the female plant is called Ju.
Cannabis was originally distributed in India, Bhutan and Central Asia, and is now grown wild or cultivated in various countries. It is also cultivated or becomes wild in various parts of China. XJ is common in the wild. "
The two came to a green plant, and Wang Jingwen pointed at the marijuana and said to Lu Ningpu.
"It turns out this is marijuana, it looks very ordinary."
This was the first time Lu Ning saw a marijuana plant. It was similar to weeds on the roadside. Without understanding, he would not have noticed it at all.
"The main active chemical component of marijuana is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC has psychoactive and physiological effects after being smoked or taken orally. This is what people call drugs."
"It looks very ordinary, so sometimes it is eaten by animals."
"What will happen if you eat it by mistake?" Lu Ning asked curiously.
"There was once a sheep that accidentally ate marijuana in the wild. It stumbled when walking and had all kinds of 'smirks' on its face." Wang Jingwen couldn't hold back her face and started to chuckle.
"Lu Ning, do you know? In ancient my country, Mongolian sweat medicine was made from cannabis and other plants."
"Then it seems that this is really the flower picker's favorite."
Hearing what Lu Ning said, she smiled and explained:
“The ancient Mongolian sweat medicines were actually various poisonous plants. Whether it was datura, poppy or cannabis, their plants all contained strong anesthetic effects. Ancient people took advantage of this feature of the plants.
So if we want to be precise, anything that can anesthetize the human body can be used as a sweat medicine. "
"Where are the mandala and poppy? I also want to see them." Lu Ning asked.
"Here."
Wang Jingwen led the way.
The park here sometimes looks like a vegetable shed for growing vegetables, which makes Lu Ning very interesting.
But obviously this place is much more advanced than the vegetable shed.
"You seem to be more interested in poisonous plants."
"Yes, I prefer studying neurology."
Lu Ning answered casually.
After all, these poisonous plants can affect the human body's nerves, which is why they can be hallucinogenic.
Next, Wang Jingwen continued to take Lu Ning to visit several different 'indoor vegetable growing greenhouses'.
I saw many poisonous plants and bacteria that Lu Ning had never seen before.
For example, plants include: wormwood, datura, sage, kava root, black-feathered jade cactus, psychedelic sage, etc.
Mushrooms include: fly agaric, psychedelic mushrooms, cone mushrooms, red-scaled lace mushrooms, white poisonous mushrooms, yellow-capped Amanita, faecal rust mushrooms, naked toadstools, etc.
There are obviously many more hallucinogenic types of mushrooms than plants. They are densely packed in a large area, and they are of different varieties.
Wang Jingwen kept introducing people along the way.
"Like this, after eating it, you will feel that everything becomes smaller, which is commonly known as: phantomosis; but this kind is the opposite, after eating it, you will feel that all objects become larger. I heard that in the game Mario What he eats is this kind of mushroom, and his enlargement is his hallucination. And if you eat this kind of mushroom, you will make people laugh wildly; if you eat this kind of mushroom, you will see many little people dancing..."
"Wang Jingwen, you know the plants and fungi here very well."
"That's right, I can be considered a small dictionary now."
"Then which plant or mushroom do you think has the strongest hallucinogenic ability on the human body?" Lu Ning asked.
"I'm not sure about this, because their effects vary from person to person. Some people will lose consciousness, be intoxicated, feel good, relax or relieve stress after taking them. Others will be drowsy, have confused memory, produce hostile impulses, Paranoia and delusions, paranoia and all that.”
"Many people in Yunnan eat poisonous mushrooms, and their antibodies are stronger than the average person."
----------
Lin Siyu and Professor Ma Guangke will stay here for at least ten days. Lu Ning will not stay with them for that long. He plans to leave directly after copying the plants.
Wang Jingwen accompanied Lu Ning to the mandala plant again.
The flowers of datura look a bit like morning glories, white and purple in color. Their flowers are gorgeous and charming, and have their own unique floral fragrance.
The reason why Lu Ning chose to copy it was because of its floral fragrance.
Its floral scent also has hallucinogenic properties.
This is something that many other plants and mushrooms do not have.
Lu Ning stretched out his hand and gently touched the mandala flower at his feet, copying its ability in an instant.
"be careful."
Wang Jingwen on the side saw Lu Ning's actions and immediately reminded her.
Although she has a good personality and is easy to talk to, she still plays the role of supervising Lu Ning here.
"Don't worry."
Lu Ning's fingers separated from the mandala flower at the touch of a touch.
"Look over there, there is surveillance. It's not good to be suspected." Wang Jingwen pointed to the surveillance above her head and reminded again.
Lu Ning just smiled and said, "Okay, I've finished what I wanted to see, and I plan to leave now."
"Leave now? Aren't you going to stay here for at least ten days?"
"That's them, I'm different from them."
Lu Ning found Professor Ma Guangke and told him about leaving.
"Lu Ning, why are you leaving so soon? This opportunity is rare. Why don't you take a closer look?"
"Yes, Senior Lu Ning, do you want to stay a few more days?" Lin Siyu also said on the side.
"No, I've already finished what I wanted to see."
"Okay, I'll accompany you to go through the exit procedures first. Then I'll ask the driver to take you back directly."
"Please teach you."
"No trouble."
Next, under the leadership of Professor Ma Guangke, Lu Ning finished the inspection and left the base alone.
The driver is already waiting at the door.
Lu Ning got in the car.
The car began to drive slowly out of the mountains.
The mountain road is winding.
Lu Ning was sitting in the back seat, with his eyes closed and sleepy.
