Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 555 535. Ant Forest
After eating and drinking, Li Xiao went on the road again.

The highway that had been dredged a long time ago had little traffic at this time, so he was able to chat with the audience while driving with the camera on.

"Speaking of which, have you ever played Ant Forest?"

Looking at a familiar name on the navigation, Li Xiao suddenly became interested.

Immediately, many viewers who were obsessed with "planting trees" in the live broadcast room were blown out:

"I've been planting it since it was launched, and now there are more than a dozen trees!"

"My energy is already a hundred thousand!"

"Poor early risers squat at seven o'clock every day to collect energy, for fear that their friends will steal the sheep, and they are already tired from playing."

"Isn't this game the same as QQ Farm a long time ago? But now QQ Farm is no longer played by anyone."

"Are you guys so curvy upstairs? I also planted two or three trees. After getting up late every day, my friends plucked my energy, so I closed this thing in a rage, and no one can pluck my energy!"

"The people upstairs are ruthless."

"It's so ruthless upstairs!"

Li Xiao opened Alipay while watching the audience's barrage, and clicked into the ant forest.

"I remember using Alipay a long time ago. When it first came out, it attracted a lot of people with the name of environmental protection. I also went to plant a tree on it. Later, I didn't open this software every day, and only occasionally Go up and collect energy, don't worry about it."

In order to prevent people from saying that he was hyping himself up, he did not mention that he also participated in a lot of caring activities above.

On the interface is a towering tree with several energy bubbles floating on it.

Click on all the bubbles, open the tree planting interface and find that all the saplings have been collected.

It seems that netizens are still very enthusiastic about planting trees.

Just five kilometers ahead of him is the Jiayuguan Railway, and there are many small green shrubs at a glance from this side.

"If there is a chance, I can go to the place above the ant forest to see what's going on now."

After driving a few kilometers further, a group of people with huge backpacks on their backs, and at the end of the group were carts of grass seedlings and shovels and shovels.

The mighty group of people appeared in front of Li Xiao.

"It looks like a tree planting team."

Li Xiao looked around, and there happened to be a service station nearby where he could park the car.

Seeing that Jiujiu was still sleeping soundly in the box, he relieved himself, took the camera equipment and got out of the car to catch up with the team he had seen before.

"Uncle, are you here to plant trees?"

The leader was an old-looking uncle with a white beard, but he was vigorous and vigorous.

"Yes, it's not far ahead, young man, are you here to experience life?" The uncle beckoned to the people in the line to let them go first, then stopped and waited for Li Xiao to catch up.

"I'm here to see what the tree that was planted in the ant forest looks like now. After all, it has been cultivated for several years, and I have a deep feeling." Li Xiao said.

"It's a coincidence." The uncle patted Li Xiao on the shoulder and showed his work card, "I am an outsourced staff member of this group, and today happened to be our monthly tree planting event, and I just happened to be kicked out by you." up."

"That's not bad." Li Xiao looked excited, "I wanted to see what the tree I planted a long time ago, and this time I can finally see it with my own eyes."

"That may surprise you." The uncle smiled mysteriously, and took Li Xiao to the "Ant Forest".

Studio:
"I'm so looking forward to it, can I finally see my Haloxylon tree?"

"Upstairs we planted the same kind of tree!"

"Upstairs, don't report too much hope to Ant Forest... lest you will be more disappointed later."

"Could it be that the upstairs wants to reveal that the Ant Forest is actually... the authenticity needs to be studied?"

"Anyway, when the anchor gets there, we'll know what's going on."

"After all, the place where the trees are planted is so far away from us, and not everyone has the time to go to the Northwest Gobi in person. It's a good coincidence for the anchor to do so."

During the discussion in the live broadcast room, the planting team had already arrived at the "forest" and was about to start planting trees.

Looking at the scale of the "forest" in front of him, Li Xiao exclaimed unexpectedly.

"You call this place a forest?"

In front of Li Xiao was a square-looking sign that said "Ant Forest No. 227".

It is also clearly written on the plaque that this "forest" has an area of ​​more than 3000 mu of land, and there are 15 Haloxylon trees in it.

Aim the camera at the explanatory sign above, and shoot on the endless Gobi Desert in front of you. Li Xiao's doubtful voice rang out in the live broadcast room.

Below this sign is faintly surrounded by dry weeds, and it looks like it has lost all life.

"So where's my Haloxylon tree?"

"My Haloxylon tree doesn't grow underground, does it?"

The uncle looked calm, presumably it was not the first time he saw Li Xiao's puzzled expression.

"This is a Haloxylon tree planted according to the standard. Now this season doesn't look so obvious. After all, the environment in this place is harsh, and the growth cycle will be longer."

The audience in the live broadcast room were not willing to buy what the uncle said, and they all started arguing in the live broadcast room.

"So the Haloxylon tree I planted is in the Gobi ahead?"

"So the Haloxylon tree I planted is the withered grass in front of me?"

"woc? Is the tree you planted with all your energy collected so much energy air?"

"Reported and reported, this is a scam!"

"Can this be tolerated? It's a scam under the banner of public welfare, right? How much traffic did Alipay use these activities to attract? The truth is this? It's because we are so easy to fool, right?"

The live broadcast room was full of enthusiasm, but Li Xiao outside the live broadcast room still had some reason. After all, the carloads of saplings he saw just now couldn't possibly be fake.

"Don't worry, I'll go with Uncle's team to see how the event works."

The uncle's tree planting area is in the front, and Li Xiao can't be alone here for too long, so he continues to keep up with the pace of the team.

Walking to a grassland that didn't look so desolate, Li Xiao was stopped by the uncle when he wanted to follow the team.

"Wait, don't step on the tree."

"what?"

Li Xiao suspected that he had heard wrong.

Around my feet are clumps of poorly grown leeks, which are as high as knees at most, and are called trees by the uncle?
Did any of them have any misconceptions about trees?

At this time, other people in the team took out the saplings on the car with their hands and feet, and Li Xiao saw that the saplings in their hands were almost the same as the "weeds" at his feet-except that they looked more colorful. Greener.

As far as Li Xiao knows, the Haloxylon tree is 1-9 meters high, and the "grass" at the feet is not even one meter high.

"Is this a joke?"

"It's not bad for this tree to grow like this in our Gobi. If it had been earlier, the wind and sand here would have been so severe that if you went out for a day without washing your clothes, you wouldn't be able to wear them the next day. They were all sand." Uncle He directed the people in the team to plant the saplings according to the plan, and explained to Li Xiao.

"This?" Li Xiao was puzzled, if he really wanted to say that, then the Haloxylon tree might as well be renamed Haloxylon grass.

He has learned before that Haloxylon tree is a common terrain plant in the desert. It is drought-resistant, drought-resistant, likes a dry environment, and has strong wind-proof and sand-fixing capabilities. It is planted in many arid places in the Han Kingdom.

But how to say, the appearance of this tree is really too shabby.

The tone said it was a tree, but Li Xiao would rather call it grass.

The speed of the planting team was very fast. Li Xiao spent about half an hour shooting around, and this time the tree planting came to an end.

"We have pre-processed and dug the potholes before, and this time we came here to plant the saplings, so it doesn't seem too complicated." The uncle opened his mouth to explain.

"Even if this is the case, no matter how you say it, this Haloxylon tree is not as good as it is?" Li Xiao followed behind the big army, and couldn't help raising his own objections to the uncle.

The uncle smiled, "You don't know why this kind of tree looks so small, but it is promoted by the country?"

"Although it is only less than your knee height on the ground, it can extend almost ten square meters underground. That is to say, planting a Haloxylon tree can protect ten square meters of land from wind and sand. Doesn't it look much stronger this way?"

"It sounds like this, I probably understand it." Li Xiao nodded, and she still made up her mind to go deep into the "forest farm" just now to see if there were any trees planted there.

After bidding farewell to the team, Li Xiao held up the camera and walked all the way to watch, and even called the audience to look for it together.

After walking in this barren forest farm for about ten minutes, Li Xiao found that most of the place was empty sand except for some scattered "Haloxylon trees" that grew like withered grass.

"This is completely different from the ant forest I expected."

"Although the uncle said just now that the growth cycle is long, it's too shameful that there are no saplings on the ground."

This is, a lot of bullet screens floated in the live broadcast room and began to popularize science.

"Don't worry, maybe it hasn't grown yet. If the anchor lowers his body and looks carefully, he can still see some small seedlings."

"Anchor be careful, don't step on my Haloxylon tree! (dog head)"

"This season the Haloxylon tree is almost in a growth stagnation period, so it's normal to find it."

Several barrages caught Li Xiao's attention.

In order to see what the Haloxylon tree here looks like with his own eyes, Li Xiao squatted down according to his words.

What appeared in front of him was a "little grass" the size of a palm.

If you compare it carefully, you can still see its recognizable "skinny" branches, off-white skin and brittle and hard twigs that look fragile.

"I may know why the ant forest is called the ant forest."

"From the perspective of ants, isn't such a big tree a forest!"

Li Xiao said half-jokingly.

"Look carefully, in fact, there are still some Haloxylon trees in this forest that are not so grown."

"According to what was written on the sign I saw just now, there may be some gaps between the actual number of Haloxylon trees planted."

"There is also a possibility that saplings have indeed been planted in this ant forest, but they are managed and not raised, so the free growth will become what we see now."

"Of course, these are just my guesses. Whether we can achieve practical results depends on whether the environment of the locals on our side has changed in recent years."

"This is what we should, and the most essential thing we should pay attention to."

Studio:
"I am a local, and I feel that the sandstorm situation has improved a lot in recent years."

"I'm a geography student. There was a news report that I saw a lot of green in the northwest of the Han Kingdom from the satellite. It should be said that the effect is great!"

"But it can't be said that all the credit is due to Ant Forest! After all, when has the country not paid attention to the greening of the northwest over the years?"

"I am a local herdsman. The cost of planting an acre of Haloxylon tree here is about 100 yuan, but the government will subsidize 200 yuan. In addition, the Haloxylon tree itself is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. The economic benefits we get from it are counted as OK."

"I go to school here, and the school organizes two tree planting activities every semester. It can be said that we attach great importance to environmental protection!"

"The above is the correct way for the local people to open it!"

Li Xiao has no way to interfere with the positive or negative attitude towards Ant Forest in the live broadcast room. After all, he is live broadcasting and filming truthfully. Focus on things now.

"To be honest, when I first saw this "grassland", I felt deceived at first, but the staff who planted trees just now were very enthusiastic about protecting the environment. As for the situation of this land, see Let's see what kind of reply the Ant Forest will have."

"After that, I may not be able to pay too much attention to this side, after all, I still have my plan."

"I hope that if you have the opportunity, you can take a walk here in person and see what it is like more intuitively."

"Today's trip to the Ant Forest is almost over here," Li Xiao looked at the time, he spent almost three hours here, the dumpling he left in the service area must have woken up and started to cry hungry ? "The next stop is Zhangye, see you there."

Hurrying back to the service area, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the black and white dumpling still sleeping soundly in the box when he got in the car.

When there is no accommodation on the way, he has to worry about Jiujiu's situation almost every time. He should think of a way to take care of Jiujiu and keep a low profile.

Starting again, Li Xiao drove onto the longest road in the legendary Han Kingdom.

G30 line.

On the endless green pastures are groups of cattle and sheep, leisurely gnawing on the green grass under their feet. Occasionally, there are sika deer with "thick eyebrows and big eyes" jumping lightly in it, which complements the thick and thin clouds in the distance.

Going forward, zigzags along the foothills of the pan, golden rapeseed flowers are blooming in large tracts by the roadside, and Li Xiao can even hear the sound of bee wings flapping in his ears - it stands to reason that rapeseed shouldn't be It is at this time that it blooms, but perhaps because of the high altitude, the flowering period is extremely late.

The overlapping peaks recede one by one beside Li Xiao, and the reservoir in the distance is like a flat canvas reflecting the scene of heaven and earth...

After two hours of formal travel, the site of the trip appeared in front of Li Xiao.

Zhangye.
