Wu Hao did not directly answer Shen Ning's question, but smiled and said: "Our personal power is limited after all, and it is impossible to defeat everyone.
Therefore, this requires us not to act recklessly when dealing with strong enemies or powerful opponents. We must pay attention to methods and methods, and we must also know how to learn to leverage others' strength and use the powerful strength of others to defeat powerful opponents.
As you said, the agricultural department is supportive, but the ecological and environmental protection department is opposed. So why don’t you want to use the agricultural department to deal with the ecological and environmental protection department.
Not only the agricultural sector, we can also win support from many sectors.
For example, excellent cotton varieties can further expand our strength in the textile industry. In this regard, we can seek support from the textile industry and even the industrial field and the development and reform department.
In addition, excellent cotton varieties have a very obvious driving effect on the local economy, so why can't we win over local governments to jointly fight for this matter.
In addition, we can provide support to other departments. Like the military, the education department, even the health department, etc.
In the end, even if it objects, it will only have one vote, and we have many votes, so we are afraid that the other party will not be able to defeat them. "
Hahaha……
After hearing Wu Hao's words, Zhang Jun immediately laughed.
"You still have more ghost electronics!" Zhang Jun praised, and then smiled at Shen Ning and said: "You see, please ask your boss Wu for advice. His words can benefit you a lot."
"Yes, Mr. Wu's words made us suddenly enlightened. Please give us more advice and support in the future. We still have a lot to learn from you in this regard." Shen Ning smiled and catered after hearing this.
"Okay, you two, stop burying me here and get down to business." Wu Hao knocked on the table and said angrily to the two of them.
Hehehe...
After everyone chuckled, they immediately returned to the topic.
Shen Ning said to Wu Hao and Zhang Jun: "Actually, when it comes to cash crops, we have another one, but it can also be classified into the forestry field.
This is the natural rubber tree, which is a very high-quality cash crop with high economic value. In addition, rubber also plays a huge role in industrial production, social and people's livelihood, including national defense and military affairs, and is a strategic material.
Our country imports about 7 million tons of natural rubber every year, accounting for about half of the world's rubber product consumption market. Our country's rubber production is only about one million tons, which means only one-seventh. This self-sufficiency rate is very low, only about 14%.
Once our external sources of rubber imports are affected, it will seriously affect our domestic industrial production, social and people's livelihood, and even national defense security.
Therefore, we are wondering whether we can make a fuss about rubber varieties and cultivate better rubber varieties. "
At this point, Shen Ning glanced at Wu Hao, then switched to PPT and continued to introduce to Wu Hao and Zhang Jun.
"At present, our country's rubber planting areas are mainly concentrated in some provinces south of the Tropic of Cancer. And because the growth of rubber trees is relatively slow, it usually takes five or six years to become mature and can be tapped. If the saplings are too small and have not grown up, tapping It will seriously affect the growth of saplings.
Therefore, it is usually five or six years later, when the rubber tree grows to a certain size, that rubber tapping begins, so the entire initial investment is very long.
Also because the production of natural rubber is limited and the global market demand is huge, scientists from various countries have actually been studying alternatives to natural rubber.
The most successful one is of course synthetic rubber. Although it can also replace rubber in some industrial applications, the quality of synthetic rubber will never be as good as natural rubber.
Therefore, people have paid attention to plants. Among them, there are two main types that are the most representative and have been confirmed by scientists to be able to replace natural rubber. One is a special variety of dandelion whose roots can secrete rubber liquid, which can replace rubber.
The other kind is the unique tree species of our country, the Eucommia ulmoides tree. Its branches, leaves, fruits and roots are very rich in plant gum, so it can be extracted into gum similar to rubber.
However, although the Eucommia tree can extract natural rubber, which is very similar to natural rubber, it is also very different. Natural rubber is cis-polyisoprene, while Eucommia ulmoides is trans-polyisoprene, so the rubber composition and structure are slightly different and cannot truly replace natural rubber products.
As for that special dandelion root system, it can also secrete rubber, but the yield is too small and very unstable. At present, it is only said that it is more suitable for large-scale planting of plants that can replace natural rubber, but when it can be truly planted on a large scale to replace natural rubber is still unknown, because this is only a preliminary idea, and no experiments have been successful yet.
So we were wondering if we could research and develop a new variety of super rubber trees.
This super rubber tree variety developed through research not only grows fast. Ordinary rubber trees may take five or six years to harvest rubber, but our super rubber trees may only need three years or even one year to harvest rubber.
The rubber output of ordinary rubber trees is still relatively low. The annual output of a rubber tree is not fixed and is affected by many factors. Such as growing environment, climatic conditions, species, tree age, etc.
According to statistics, the annual output of a 7-year-old rubber tree is only about 0.5-1 kilogram, while the annual output of a 15- to 20-year-old rubber tree can reach more than 10 kilograms, and some can reach more than 15 kilograms. However, this Just a few.
The new super rubber tree variety we are going to cultivate can produce 20 kilograms, 30 kilograms, or even more of natural rubber every year. Both the yield of a single tree and the yield per mu can be greatly improved.
In addition, this gene-edited super rubber tree has stronger vitality and can adapt to growing in cold areas.
In this way, we can expand the planting area of natural rubber trees from south of the Tropic of Cancer to the entire southern region, and even grow in the north in the future.
Can we even extract the gene that allows rubber trees to grow and secrete rubber juice, and implant it into some other plants, even some annual plants, so that they can be planted on a large scale in the north to provide us with more abundant natural resources? What about rubber raw materials?
For example, can we implant the glue-secreting gene in this natural rubber tree into some economic crops, such as rape, sugar beets, and other plants?
In this way, we only need to harvest these crops to extract and secrete rubber, which can increase rubber production and even change the current pattern of the world's rubber industry. "
