Chapter 2388 Super Nepenthes

After hearing Yang Fang's explanation, Shen Ning and others couldn't help but look like they suddenly understood.

When commercial orchids, including other flower plants, are cultivated, many of them adopt this method of germ laboratory cultivation. This method is efficient, controllable, and low-cost, and is widely used in these fields.

So when Yang Fang explained it like this, everyone naturally reacted.

Wu Hao, on the other hand, nodded slightly, then looked at the lush rat plant in the glass cube in front of him and said: "There is a problem. After these rat plants hunt mice, they secrete liquid like insects and accelerate The decomposition of rat corpses adds nutrients to their own plants.

However, in this process of decay, there will inevitably be the stench of decay, mosquitoes, and even diseases. How do you consider this aspect? "

Hearing Wu Hao's question, Yang Fang nodded slightly, and then replied to Wu Hao: "We did not think of the problem you mentioned at first. But we did encounter such a problem in subsequent experiments.

So later, we conducted special research on this issue and worked hard to find solutions.

Ultimately, we believe that accelerating the decomposition of small animal carcasses such as rats will help avoid long-term rancidity, mosquito breeding, and environmental pollution.

How to accelerate the decomposition of these small animal carcasses, we believe that the nectaries of these sage trap leaves must secrete a liquid that can attract these small animals. This liquid can not only emit fragrance, but also accelerate corrosion. Functions of corpses.

We have edited the plant genes related to this part of the sage plant to make the plant liquids it secretes thicker, more fragrant, and more corrosive.

In this way, as long as the mousetrap captures a mouse, the nectaries in the leaves will accelerate the secretion of this liquid, thereby gradually wrapping the entire mouse corpse.

In this way, the decay of these mouse corpses can be accelerated. On the other hand, after these thick liquids wrap the mouse corpses, they will be isolated from the outside world and prevent the rancid smell inside from emanating.

In addition, the unique fragrance of this liquid can mask the putrid smell emitted by these mouse corpses, thereby not polluting the air environment.

As for attracting mosquitoes, you don’t have to worry. This corrosive liquid itself is a good fungicide and can inhibit the production of insect eggs inside. In addition, it is relatively sticky, so when some mosquitoes and flies come over, they will be stuck as long as they are contaminated and will not fly out. Together with the mouse corpses, they will become nutrients for this mousetrap. "

After listening to Yang Fang's introduction, everyone nodded slightly and praised their fantastic ideas. As for Wu Hao, he nodded with a smile and said, "If that's the case, then Nepenthes actually seems to have some advantages."

Seeing what Wu Hao said, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yang Fang, wanting to hear her answer.

As for Yang Fang, she smiled slightly and said: "You are right, we did have the same idea at the beginning, so we also cultivated Super Nepenthes.

Everyone, please follow me! "

With that said, under the leadership of Yang Fang, Wu Hao and the others came to a glass facade, inside which was leaning on a tall pitcher plant. The height of the entire plant is even higher than the mousetrap just now, and its appearance is not as disgusting as the mousetrap. On the contrary, it grows a little cute, especially the ones hanging on it look like jars or cloths. Bag of honey pot.

Compared with the honey pots on ordinary pitcher plants, the honey pots of this super pitcher plant are very large, about sixty or seventy centimeters long. The mouth and neck of the honey pot are relatively thin, about ten centimeters thick, and the bottle The belly is relatively large, as big as thirty or forty centimeters, much like a bottle.

The top of the honey pot is not as smooth as ordinary pitcher plants, but has vertical lines on it, from the mouth to the bottom of the pot, like the skeletons of a lantern. The tank body is covered with some rough cracks, which seem to be the result of the tank body becoming woody.

Compared with ordinary pitcher plants, these honeypots are hung on trees. The branches of the honeypots of this Nepenthes are very long, so the honeypots at the bottom fell directly to the ground, stacked one on top of the other. Like some animal's nest.

Is this a pitcher plant?

Everyone looked at such a pitcher plant and couldn't help but open their mouths, exclaiming in their hearts that such a pitcher plant has been cultivated by them.

Yang Fang felt the astonished expressions of everyone, smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, this is the super pitcher plant we cultivated. Like our mousetrap, this pitcher plant is not used to hunt insects. , also used to hunt some small animals.

Everyone sees these honeypots on the ground below. They are mature honeypots. This super pitcher plant relies on these honeypots to hunt small animals, especially mice.

Thick and sweet juice is secreted in these honey pots, which attracts small animals such as mice to eat. When the pitcher plant senses an object entering the honeypot, the leaf at the top of the honeypot will close, preventing the insects inside from flying out.

However, this leaf cannot stop small animals, so we edited and modified the gene of this pitcher plant. When the pitcher plant's honeypot senses that a small animal has entered, the mouth of the honeypot will gradually shrink inside to prevent the small animals inside from escaping.

The wooden honeypot body is relatively strong, which prevents mice from struggling inside and tearing the honeypot apart to escape.

In addition, the honeypot will continuously secrete liquid, which will tightly wrap the mouse that enters, and then let it die. The mouth of the honeypot will also be closed, and liquid will be secreted continuously, corroding and absorbing the small animals. The honeypot will also complete its own mission and gradually wither.

Compared with mousetraps, a major advantage of this super pitcher plant is that it can seal up mouse corpses and dispose of them harmlessly, without causing a series of problems such as environmental pollution.

Therefore, it is very suitable to be planted in the greening of some cities and inhabited communities to deal with some rat infestations, thereby preventing the spread of related diseases carried by rats.

However, it also has a major disadvantage, that is, its plants like to grow in moist, warm and fertile environments, and are not very adaptable to drought, barrenness, and low temperatures, so they are not suitable for planting in northern grassland deserts.

Even in cities, it requires landscape management, regular watering, fertilization, and insulation in the winter when the temperature drops, or transplanting and transplanting to a greenhouse for the winter.

As for ordinary households, we actually do not recommend planting. Because the juice in the honey pot also has a certain degree of toxicity and corrosiveness, contamination may cause serious problems such as human poisoning or skin allergies, ulcers, etc. "
