Chapter 942: Chapter 935: Really? Chapter 942: Chapter 935: Really? Xu Yang was followed by an old village chief, who stood there and loudly exclaimed!

“Where’s the new species you promised, why have you stopped now?”

“We’ve done what needed to be done, now we’re just waiting for all that special nutrient solution to be poured out!”

“It’s gone?”

Chief Ma was immediately dumbfounded!

Xu Yang nodded, “Mhm!”

At that, Chief Ma was at a loss for words. In fact, everything that Xu Yang had set out was very ordinary!

Besides, they knew how to use nutrient solutions too!

Many people started to whisper among themselves again!

“Is it real?”

“If it succeeds, that’s great. Honestly, the nutrient solution this kid mixed is better than the ones I’ve made!”

“Are you kidding?”

“I think we should leave here first, there’s nothing exciting left to see!”

Although some suggested leaving, no one really left!

Everyone was curious whether Xu Yang could cultivate all these plants within an hour.

As time went by, the hour finally arrived!

These poplar trees that had been soaked in water showed no change on the surface!

“Director Liu, we need to hurry up. You have to send someone to transport the saplings to the desert, and then plant them immediately!”

Director Liu was startled, “They’re grown already?”

“Mhm!”

“But, Dr. Xu Yang, we should choose to plant them under the afternoon sun rather than the scorching midday sun, that way the survival rate of the trees would be higher!”

Chief Liu painstakingly explained to Xu Yang, who clearly had no idea what was going on!

“Director Liu, these are just ordinary poplar saplings, but what I have here is a super-resilient strain. It doesn’t need to grow for long, just water it and that’s enough!”

Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn’t help but laugh. This greenhorn Xu Yang didn’t even understand the most basic principles!

Watering and fertilizing for survival? That’s too exaggerated!

Logically, in this kind of weather, not to mention one pot, even ten pots wouldn’t survive!

You must know that the temperature outside is forty-one degrees, but it’s over fifty degrees here!

Under such high temperatures, the roots of the poplars would be literally scorched to death!

There was no chance of survival!

Li Gensheng had something to say to Xu Yang, but in the end, he didn’t say it!

After all, Xu Yang was a professional dispatched by the head of state himself; Li Gensheng had to listen to him!

The worst outcome would simply be a failed experiment!

Then, he gathered some strong people, and as Xu Yang had said, they put the young saplings into the pockets of the van! They even took more than ten buckets of water!

Thus, Xu Yang led Li Gensheng to the desert!

The sandy land was not far away, and everyone followed and walked forward.

Indeed, Xu Yang took a group of people to dig holes, plant trees, and water them!

Eighteen poplar saplings had been planted!

In the blazing sun, the few people planting were dripping with sweat!

Xu Yang and Li Gensheng stood by the side. Although they did nothing, both of them were soaked in sweat!

On the desert, waves of heat made it rather uncomfortable!

Many people wore baseball caps, but their skin had already turned very dark!

In just under thirty minutes, Xu Yang felt like his skin might melt away!

The desert was scorching!

But these villagers seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life, and many were chatting and laughing in the sunlight.

They didn’t seem uncomfortable at all!

At that moment, Chief Ma also wore a face full of confusion and came over, whispering in Li Gensheng’s ear!

“Team leader, this kid took an hour to cultivate these seedlings, can they really make it?”

“How could I know you, I’ve never even heard of it!”

Liu Gensheng said this, but in his heart, he was very clear that this poplar tree definitely wouldn’t make it!

Mayor Ma quickly returned, and many people gathered around, bombarding him with questions.

“What did Old Gen say?”

“Isn’t that for the higher-ups to say, how could such a young expert possibly cultivate those super-strong poplar trees!”

“I knew it, this guy must be a fraud.”

“To come all this way just to see what he planted!”

“Yeah, half an hour has passed and there’s still no sign of anything!”

On the contrary, under the sunlight, the leaves of these saplings were all slightly bending!

Time passed in a flash!

The newly planted poplar tree hadn’t changed at all!

And it was through the subtle reactions of the poplar saplings that Xu Yang figured this out!

All of the poplar trees survived!

Xu Yang knew this was a big tree, but what about the others, what was going on with them!

When everything was settled, it was almost noon, and the sunlight over the northwestern desert grew even hotter, stinging the face!

Under the scorching sun, some people couldn’t bear it anymore!

As he spoke, Xu Yang walked towards Liu Gensheng!

“Director Liu, all of our poplar tree seeds have been planted, they won’t have any problems!”

Liu Gensheng frowned, looked up at the scorching sun, then glanced at the newly planted poplar tree and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Dr. Xu Yang, can you guarantee those poplar trees won’t die?”

“Yes!”

Xu Yang nodded earnestly.

Seeing that the people were uncomfortable, Liu Gensheng didn’t say anything more to Xu Yang!

Then, he walked over to the old village chief!

“Mayor Ma, in this hot summer, quickly call the villagers back.”

Mayor Ma, holding a white towel, wiped the sweat from his face, and this time, he really broke out in a cold sweat!

“But, Director Old Gen, that young man’s saplings…”

Liu Gensheng stared at the poplar tree with its leaves slightly bent and slowly said,
“Whether they can survive, we’ll see by early tomorrow morning, we can’t have everyone waiting here, can we!”

“Alright!” Mayor Ma took a glance and agreed.

After speaking, he bellowed at the surrounding villagers!

“Don’t wait any longer, hurry home, if we don’t go now, we’ll all be cooked to death by the heat!”

Some villagers asked reluctantly.

“Old Mayor, why are you in such a hurry? I reckon in another thirty minutes, all those poplars will be dead!”

“Thirty minutes? Forget the saplings, even you would turn into a dried-up corpse!”

Mayor Ma joked.

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd!

After some persuasion from Liu Gensheng and the mayor, everyone obediently went home!

On the way, many couldn’t help but look back, curious about what would grow in just over an hour.

As they walked, there was a buzz of quiet conversation among the villages.

“What do you think the saplings planted by that young master will turn out like?”

“What can they do, with the sun so strong, and the sand here must be at least fifty degrees, these seedlings will definitely get scorched!”

“Yeah, I’ve lived near this desert for nearly fifty years and this is the first time I’ve seen someone plant saplings in broad daylight; this is just seeking death.”

“Director Old Gen said we would find out tomorrow. From what I see, these saplings won’t last even thirty minutes!”

“…”
