Chapter 444 The Mystery of the Dead Fir Tree

After being teased by the two, Zhang Nan also felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Then what about this golden river now, why is it gone?"
Zhang Jun said: "No matter what kind of resource development, while bringing wealth to human beings, it will inevitably cause irreparable damage to nature. For hundreds of years, the gold deposits of the Morgas River have attracted countless people. Adventurers came to pan for gold. At its peak, tens of thousands of people gathered here.

Not only the river bed that stretches for more than ten miles is full of gold diggers, but even the hills along the banks of the Morgas River have been excavated frantically, leaving only bare rock layers.

Severe soil erosion has made it difficult for surface plants to grow. As early as a few decades ago, the Morgas River had dried up and turned into the rocky beach we saw before. "

Ling Zikai looked around, and saw that the rocky beach was like a belt running across it.
It stretches across the land, hundreds of meters wide, and stretches without end.

However, there are some trees growing on the low hills on both sides. Although they are not so lush, they also bring some vitality.

"The hills on both sides of this rocky beach are the woodland contracted by Ruxue."

At this time, Zhang Jun became a guide and explained: "Before this, the county and the town carried out a tree planting activity every year in order to improve the environment of the Morgas River Basin. However, due to the serious soil erosion here, the water source was exhausted. , A lot of saplings were planted, but the survival rate was very low and there was no effect.

After hearing that Ruxue was willing to contract this area, the township and county generously expressed that they could hand over these barren hills in the entire Morgas River Basin to her for management.It also waives ten-year contract fees.

Originally, Ruxue only wanted to contract an area of ​​more than 1000 mu, but now it has expanded its scale dozens of times, and has become the largest forestry operator in Moluo County! "

Ling Zikai nodded and said: "Even our expanded Yunhai Forest Farm is not as large as the Morgas River Basin. If we want to completely renovate and develop it, the initial capital investment is an astronomical figure. Personal capital alone is not enough. It would be impossible. If there was no investment from Tianlong Group, I would not have been able to win the Yunhai Forest Farm."

Zhang Nan echoed: "Tianlong Group's investment is several billion! And the resources and environment here are very different from Yunhai Forest Farm. In my opinion, the local government is not so generous. It is clearly throwing away the burden. After this watershed is handed over to private management, they don't need to worry about it anymore!"

"At the beginning, I also joked with Big Brother Buyi, you have taken a fancy to this area, have you discovered that there is an undiscovered gold mine hidden here!
Brother Buyi said that even if there is a hidden gold mine, it still belongs to the country, and they have nothing to do with it.

The decision to contract the Morgas River Basin was actually made by Brother Buyi.Because he is a descendant of the Gabel tribe, his ancestors have lived on this land for generations, and the Morgas River is their mother river, but now it no longer exists, and he feels very uncomfortable.

So he wants to change the environment here through his own efforts, and reproduce the natural scenery of roaring forests and rippling rivers.

According to him, as a descendant of the Gabel tribe, he has the responsibility and obligation to protect the land that his ancestors depended on for survival, which is their homeland! "

Listening to Zhang Jun's narration, Ling Zikai felt a tremor in his heart for no reason.

Guard your own homeland!
This sentence is too familiar.

Didn't Sister Dujuan burden the forest farm with a huge debt just to fulfill the promise made by the ancestors of the Kamol tribe?
In the same way, isn't the natural balance system of the ecological environment that Lin Xing'an has been working hard to study for the sake of better protecting the homeland of the entire human existence!
As the successor of the ancestral god, I have been endowed with a magical inheritance ability, and I should shoulder this sacred mission. What I am doing now is not even a start, and there is still a long, long way to go in the future.

Brother Buyi, although you have already left, please rest assured that I will do my best to help Ru Xue fulfill your last wish and restore this land to its former glory.

Ling Zikai silently prayed to Buyi's spirit in heaven in his heart.

If at the beginning, he only helped Ru Xue out of sympathy and revenge for the Musen Company, then this kind of help has become a responsibility and obligation that he must fulfill now!

Walking through the rocky beach, I came to a small hill opposite.

Different from other common artificially planted economic forests, there are many varieties of trees planted on the hillside in front of you.There are not only common trees such as larch, white birch, elm, and aspen, but also precious species such as sylvestris pine, Korean pine, sycamore, and linden.

However, the growth of these trees is not very good. Some of them seem to be more than ten years old, but the plant height and trunk are obviously short.Moreover, the trunk is distorted, the branches and leaves are yellow, and the nutrition is poor.

The only exceptions are some fir trees, which are much thicker and taller than all the trees.But for some unknown reason, these fir trees that were growing well are now dead.

"These fir trees should be seedlings purchased from Musen Company! Nannan, do you see anything special about these trees?" Ling Zikai said.

Zhang Nan walked to a nearby fir tree, inspected it carefully, and explained: "The fir tree has strong tolerance to shade, and is suitable for cool and cold climates. The soil is mainly mountainous brown soil and dark brown soil. It can form pure forest growth in the shady slopes, semi-shady slopes and valleys of subalpine to alpine regions from high latitudes to low latitudes, and can also grow with cold and humid spruce, larch, hemlock and some pine trees and Broad-leaved trees form coniferous mixed forests or mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests.

Strictly speaking, the soil environment and climatic conditions here are not very suitable for large-scale planting of firs.Moreover, the growth of fir trees is relatively slow during the young seedling period, and more original soil should be brought with them when transplanting. The early tending management requirements after transplanting are relatively high, and the growth speed will accelerate after reaching four or five years.

Moreover, these fir trees seem to be no more than four years old. Why they grow much better than other tree species is a bit puzzling! "

"Can you see what caused the death?"

Zhang Nan shook his head and said: "There are only a few reasons that cause trees to die. Either they have reached the age limit of the tree species itself and die naturally; or they wither due to lack of water and nutrients; The water makes the roots rot and cannot absorb nutrients; there are also diseases and insect pests. The specific reasons need to be tested to analyze."

Ling Zikai thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Do you think the death is caused by the defect of the tree species?"

Zhang Nan glanced at Ling Zikai, and asked in confusion: "The defect of the tree species itself? What do you mean by that?"
