Chapter 19 Fire Fighting(1/2)
Emperor Luo Wen's father-in-law Liang Zhen is one of the current members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
Every month, Emperor Luo Wen would come to visit him, and never bring any sensitive things, but would give him some flowers and plants.
The dan wood sold by Bai Ge to Emperor Luo Wen, he sent it here as soon as possible.
Liang Zhen loves flowers very much. When he first met Danmu, he didn't recognize what it was.
It was not until Emperor Luo Wen introduced the original text of the Mountains and Seas that he suddenly realized.
"The strange flowers in the Mountains and Seas! Are there really such beautiful and strange flowers in the world?"
Liang Zhen couldn't even move his eyes away, and he said angrily after checking it over and over again.
"Who planted it? It's just a mess! The roots of this flower are thick and long, so how can I use such a small potted plant?"
Liang Zhen ignored Emperor Luo Wen and hurriedly carried the flower pot to the yard to fuck him.
Emperor Luo Wen saw that Liang Zhen liked him so much, and did not disturb him and followed him silently.
After a while, Liang Zhen re-treated the Danmu and sat on the side to appreciate it with satisfaction.
"Xiao Luo, where did you get this flower?"
Finally asked, Emperor Luo Wen hurriedly said, "I picked it from Shennongjia myself. I saw that this flower is so strange, and I knew my dad would like it..."
"You picked it myself? I said, no wonder it was so messy." Liang Zhen curled his lips.
Emperor Luo Wen laughed, of course he didn't understand flowers.
As he said that, Liang Zhen took out a book from the room, and his eyes lit up after turning a few pages.
"The leaves are red and the stems are yellow and red and solid. Their taste is like syrup. If you eat them without hunger, you can control fire."
"It's really Danmu, as it is recorded... so beautiful."
Liang Zhen smiled and liked it very much.
But then sighed, "It's a pity that it's too precious. This flower shouldn't be kept here for me."
Emperor Luo Wen was not surprised when he heard this.
If this flower is just ordinary and beautiful, it's okay.
If Liang Zhen likes it, just raise it by himself.
But this is Danmu.
This flower is not only beautiful, but also has historical, cultural and even research value.
The added value of the various cliches is too much, and it is likely to be the only one in the world, and it is even more priceless.
Of course, such flowers should be handed over to professionals.
Emperor Luo Wen understood this meaning and took the initiative to say, "Why should we send it to the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
Liang Zhen looked at it reluctantly and nodded.
He picked up the phone and called his secretary.
Soon after, Danmu was sent to the Wuhan Botanical Garden.
Whenever you ask about the origin of the flowers, Emperor Luo Wen said that he had picked them.
In his opinion, although this flower is strange, it is cherished.
But as long as he bite the only one of the flowers to death, no one can tell his lie.
The reputation of the first person in Danmu naturally fell on him.
Emperor Luo Wen was so happy that he was often invited to various research groups in the Botanical Garden these two days.
He brags about how he discovered the danmu and how he protected it and brought it here, and decisively handed it over to the country.
The relevant leaders praised his contribution more than once.
This incident was soon reported by the media, and when a photo of Danmu was revealed, it attracted even more attention.
For a time, the flower became famous. Its gorgeous appearance and the reputation of the Shanhai Jing made a photo of it forwarded thousands of times in a short period of time!
The capital was also alarmed and an expert team was sent.
Not only that, but many scholars who study the classics of mountains and seas and ancient geographical maps also flocked to them.
Everyone wants to know about this flower, and countless related speculations are circulating everywhere on the Internet.
Especially in the records of Shanhai Jing, the fire-controlling nature of Dan Wood.
Is this true? Is Danmu really unique?
If so, is this a mythical plant? Is it another proof of the many unproven descriptions of the Shanhai Jing?
Researchers who had countless questions about this began to study Danmu.
The outside world is not aware of the research results.
But within the Chinese Academy of Sciences, an uproar has already caused!
Emperor Luo Wen, who was originally planning to return to Xiangfan City, was invited to come over again.
"Strange flowers! Strange flowers! Did you find them in Shennongjia? Where is it? Take us there quickly!" Many doctoral researchers asked Emperor Luo Wen excitedly.
Emperor Luo Wen was confused and said, "What's wrong? I can be sure that this is the only place I found."
"It's not a problem of one plant in different plants. We need to study its growth environment! Do you know what we tested for the vegetation cells we extracted?" said the researcher.
"What?"
"Heat resistance! The cell structure of the red fruit is extremely strange. The specimen can withstand high temperatures of 1,500 degrees in the laboratory! This is almost the melting point of iron!"
Hearing this, Emperor Luo Wen was stunned.
The researcher also said: "The ancients did not deceive me! Even if they used flames to roast the elixir, it would not cause any damage! No wonder the Shanhai Jing records that it can 'eat to control fire'!"
Emperor Luo Wen asked, "It's just that flowers are not afraid of fire. Can they really spit fire after eating them?"
The researcher shook his head and said, "Who told you that you must spit fire? However, the components of danmu can be fused with human cells. We guess that after absorbing the danmu fruit, a layer of high-efficiency insulating substances will appear on the surface of the human body, which can effectively 'ignite fire'!"
"The ancients often exaggerated and said that it was to control fire, but in fact it was just saying that this flower has the function of preventing fire. They may worship this flower because of this, and believe that eating it can control fire, which is not necessarily true."
To put it bluntly, the ancients lie and brag, and modern people will be extremely tolerant.
At least there is nothing out of nothing. Danmu is really not afraid of fire. Then it was reasonable for the ancients to have the fantasy of controlling fire by food. Perhaps, the meaning of controlling fire by food is to ward off fire by eating.
However, the ancients could be tolerated, but Emperor Luo Wen was in trouble.
Living environment? He doesn’t know!
If the flowers are just beautiful, have historical and cultural value, he will just say a place.
But now, the scientific value of Danmu is greater than other values, and the overall meaning is completely different!
If Emperor Luo Wen really made up his mistakes, the truth will be leaked in the future, and his responsibility will be too great.
Everyone thought that he had picked this flower, but he could not refuse now and said: Actually, it wasn’t me who picked it?
He made up lies for so long, and it was already difficult to get rid of the tiger. Even his father-in-law thought it was the danmu he discovered, so he asked him to cooperate with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to conduct a field investigation.
"When will we set off?" Emperor Luo Wen said in a suffocating manner.
"As soon as possible!"
Emperor Luo Wen nodded and thought of the actual discoverer of Danmu.
He had no other way, and now he had to find Bai Ge.
...
At night, Chen Song drove Bai Ge to the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Emperor Luo Wen stood at the door and waited. When he saw Bai Ge, he smiled.
This smile made Chen Song breathe a sigh of relief.
"Young Master Luo, I brought Bai Ge."
"Okay, okay, thanks to you, I didn't expect it to come so soon. If you have time, I'll treat you to tea. I'm sorry tonight." Emperor Luo Wen said politely.
Chen Song was immediately satisfied. What he wanted was Emperor Luo Wen's relationship, and he spent 100,000 yuan on this. At this moment, he didn't feel a loss when he heard Emperor Luo Wen's invitation to him for tea.
Emperor Luo Wen made some polite tricks and sent Chen Song away.
This is a research center, and idle people cannot enter.
Even Emperor Luo Wen was alone, and he led the way before he took Bai Ge into a lounge.
Before Emperor Luo Wen asked, Bai Ge took the initiative to say, "I have brought the photos. I don't have close-up photos, but it can tell you where it is."
"Okay!" Emperor Luo Wen didn't expect Bai Ge to be so tactful and immediately invited Bai Ge into the house.
The two sat opposite the sofa, and Bai Ge handed over the photo.
Emperor Luo Wen looked at it, opened Google Map for detailed comparison, and remembered that place.
"You actually know why I came to you?" Emperor Luo Wen asked.
