Chapter 444 (1/2)
It is precisely because of this that the R & D personnel of Tiangong technology biological laboratory have set their eyes on ethanol (alcohol) and bamboo.
Therefore, they hope to develop a kind of bamboo that can be used in the desert. Because there is a lot of space in bamboo, they also hope that the internal space of this bamboo can store a large amount of ethanol through its own role in the production process, so that people can extract a large amount of ethanol from this bamboo, Water taps can even be installed directly on these bamboos. Once the ethanol in the bamboo is fully stored, it can be collected directly without further processing.
Most importantly, ethanol can be directly used as fuel, and the carbon dioxide and water produced by ethanol combustion do not exist pollution.
Most importantly, even if ethanol is poured directly on the ground, it can volatilize quickly, and there is no fear that it will pollute the land and soil.
Although the ideal of the biological laboratory is very good, some achievements have been made in the research and development of this energy tree, or energy bamboo, so that ethanol and water, that is, alcohol, are produced inside the bamboo.
However, the maximum concentration of ethanol is still very limited, only about 30%, which can not be used as fuel. If you want to use it as fuel, you must go through a series of processing.
Therefore, further research is still being carried out, but fortunately, this kind of bamboo has not met the requirements of the R & D personnel.
However, the bioethanol produced inside these bamboos, that is, like edible alcohol, does not contain any harmful substances, and can be used directly. In the process of eating, these ethanol will also give off the smell of bamboo fragrance, which is already a very delicious wine, so it has also achieved great economic benefits.
Therefore, after Wang Bin knew about these achievements in the biological laboratory, he immediately asked the laboratory to cultivate a batch of seeds. After the seeds were cultivated, he immediately ordered the employees of Tiangong technology to send these seeds to the desert and told the responsible persons of relevant parties to sprinkle these seeds on the desert area.
Because these seeds have been specially cultivated, they are very suitable for desert areas and have very strong vitality.
As long as it is sprinkled directly on the desert, it has a good survival rate, which can reach about 50% or 60%, so there is no need for artificial planting.
Although the survival rate of artificial planting will be higher, up to more than 90%, in this case, there will be great artificial pressure in places like the desert. After all, there is a small population here. It is absolutely inappropriate to carry out a large number of human planting. Wang Bin and his team directly used aircraft sowing to plant.
Although the survival rate will be much lower, it will not only be faster, but also the artificial pressure does not need to be considered.
As for the survival rate, Tiangong technology can sow more times, so as to ensure the survival rate.
Of course, these desert plants developed by Tiangong technology also have their own defects, that is, the deep underground of the desert where these plants are planted must have water resources.
According to the data, these plants can only survive by absorbing air and water in the nearby soil for a period of time. Therefore, when the seeds are just planted, these plants grow very slowly.
And during this period, these plants will grow their roots crazily, and these roots will also grow in places with water underground.
