Chapter 53 More Information Chen Lin looked through the various introductions in the illustrated book and noticed that in just two weeks, the illustrated book had completed the identification of 147 types of trees, and there were more than 150 other types of vegetation.
Among vegetation, trees are classified in the most detail, followed by grasses, shrubs, vines, etc.
The reason why trees are so valued is because they are widely used in various buildings. When the outpost was first established, countless trees were cut down in the cleared area.
Later, the first thing Chen Lin learned was that these cut trees were used as external walls.
However, as the planning of the outpost gradually expanded, especially after the construction of the 1000-square-kilometer plan, these initial walls gradually lost their original role.
Logs initially accounted for more than [-]% of the raw materials transported by train to the Hongshan base every day.
Later, after the mining began, part of the transported logs was replaced by minerals.
Those that can be transported back still maintain about [-]%.
There is no way, at this stage in the country, the logging of natural forests has completely stopped, but the rigid demand for wood is still growing, which leads to a problem - there is simply not enough wood!
After the portal was initially opened and the exploration team determined that the opposite side was a primeval forest environment, many people in the Hongshan Base did not realize what a huge wealth this was.
These trees from another world have natural advantages. They are extremely numerous, and there is no need to consider the various restrictions on tree felling at home and abroad! In addition, the quality of the trees themselves is really excellent, far exceeding most of the fir trees that are currently used in large quantities... It would be a naked waste not to seize this opportunity that God has given us! Therefore, after the railway was officially built, a large number of felled logs began to be continuously transported back to the Hongshan Base, and then transferred to all parts of the country by the base and the association.
The association and the base also relied on the log resources that were continuously shipped out to obtain a small part of the return funds.
This part of the return capital was discovered earlier than the mineral resources, which can be said to be the real first pot of gold.
After all, although the association is wealthy and has invested billions to tens of billions, it seems that the money will never be spent, but the money is actually taxes collected from various places.
Always investing in a certain project like a bottomless pit, and not seeing any returns will always undermine its subsequent confidence.
Even the portal to another world is the same.
Scientific research projects have been ongoing, but most of these projects are long-term goals. It may take as little as a few months and half a year, as many as a few years or even more than ten years to see actual results... In comparison, simple and crude projects The sale of mineral resources or timber resources is always more enjoyable.
After all, apart from the cost of mining, these things have almost no additional costs. It can be called a blessing of nature.
Chen Lin came to his senses and continued to look at the bottom of the illustrated book.
He quickly found the content that he was more interested in - the introduction to the classification of alien fruits.
The illustrated book separately listed the relevant categories of fruits. After Chen Lin clicked on it, his attention was immediately attracted by all kinds of strange-shaped fruits.
The fruit still has no name, only code names and the like.
There are long strip-shaped fruits on the top, and fruits similar to thorn melons are beginning to appear below. Fruits that explode like alien tentacles, and the outer skin looks like dragon scales...
Pure purple, pure blue, pure green and other solid-colored fruits also appeared, and Chen Lin was really dazzled by the sight.
Most of these fruits have not been tested to see if they are edible. It can be seen that researchers in the other world are rushing to test them at this time.
Chen Lin scrolled down the web page and noticed that there were five more fruit analysis reports in the updated illustrated book.
He clicked it and took a look and found that researchers had tested whether five fruits were edible today.
Except for one of the silver-white fruits that looks like a water drop, the remaining four code-named fruits are all edible, and the researchers also gave comments on taste.
It can be seen that some warrior must have tasted it himself.
Chen Lin couldn't help but admire this warrior. Although there are various scientific equipment that can detect whether the fruit is poisonous and whether the relevant elements in the fruit are harmful to humans... But for these unknown fruits from other worlds, Chen Lin can see You should be more cautious here.
After all, this thing is imported and needs special he just thought about it. Regarding the research on these alien fruits, those researchers must be much more professional than himself.
Something that can be imported at least means that this thing must be fine!
Chen Lin sat up from the sofa and followed the link to click on the list of edible fruits.
"so much!"
He was immediately surprised by the various pictures that popped up. There were more than 60 kinds of edible fruits! Some of them have even been determined to be suitable for large-scale planting. Chen Lin noticed that most of them are similar to small watermelons, but they have different colors and have nothing in common with fruits on the earth. They look quite strange. eccentric.
"I have to find a chance to try it next time..."
However, Chen Lin has always been very fond of fruits with particularly bright colors.
Especially looking at the reviews below, some researchers described its texture as being similar to gummy candies, sweet and sour, and Chen Lin couldn't wait to try it.
Just as he was about to continue reading, Chen Lin suddenly remembered something.
When he came back from the other side in the morning, Lin Feng met him and told him that he allowed Lin Yun to enter the other world.
However, Chen Lin took a breath and gave up the plan of meeting Lin Yun directly without any hesitation.
This woman is too dangerous for Chen Lin.
However, when Chen Lin and Lin Yun met before, both parties left each other's phone numbers, so he simply took out his mobile phone.
After thinking about what to say, Chen Lin dialed Lin Yun's phone number.
"Is there any news from my father?"
Lin Yun's first words after he answered the phone stunned Chen Lin.
He was silent for several seconds before asking: "Did someone tell you?"
"I just guessed it myself. I didn't expect you to be so unscrupulous and tell me directly."
Chen Lin smiled bitterly. This woman was really not a mortal, and she was somewhat of a dimension-reduction strike against someone like him.
But he didn't plan to say anything more to Lin Yun.
Chen Lin hummed casually: "He allowed you to go there, and asked me to remind you not to violate the rules set before."
Lin Yun snorted softly on the phone. He didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with Chen Lin's words or with his father.
"Are you busy lately? Why don't I see you coming to the weapons testing site?"
Chen Lin was about to find a reason to hang up the phone, but he heard Lin Yun say this on the phone: "Professor Yu has already criticized me, and I have realized my mistakes..."
"Why do you seem to be still avoiding me?"
Chen Lin sighed, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
If you really want to talk about it, the reasons are really complicated...
