Chapter 079 Yew
Ergou said that wild boars in the mountains are very aggressive, especially when food is lacking in winter, wild boars are more irritable and sometimes they even form teams to go down the mountain to find food. During this period, there are often injuries, and even wild boars hurt people and die.∷
This thing is thick and thick in skin, and ordinary farmers have no weapons to hurt it. It is said that some villagers once used their kitchen knife to chop the adult wild boar's neck. Not only did the wild boar be fine, they also turned their heads and bit off the villagers' calves.
Seeing the wild boar rushing towards him without saying anything, Chen Wenhao's eyes tightly locked the wild boar. Although the wild boar was very fast, in Chen Wenhao's opinion, it was not as fast as it was.
The wild boar rushed forward like a crazy person, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to Chen Wenhao's calves with his fangs. With his body weighing two or three hundred pounds, if it was pressed against an ordinary person's legs, it would probably be possible to break the other person's legs in a moment.
At the critical moment when the wild boar rushed up, Chen Wenhao suddenly turned sideways. While dodging the wild boar, he also turned sideways for 90 degrees. The wild boar was only concerned about charging. He never expected that Chen Wenhao's reaction was so fast that he quickly jumped from the front of him to his side.
At this moment, Chen Wenhao suddenly raised his legs, used all the strength in his body, and kicked the wild boar in the side abdomen.
With a bang, the kinetic energy of the wild boar sprinting forward collapsed instantly and was kicked away by Chen Wenhao, and accompanied by a tragic howl.
Chen Wenhao himself didn't know how powerful he had with all his strength. Seeing that the wild boar seemed to be a football driven by the goalkeeper's big foot, it flew more than two meters high, and then a parabola hit the grass hard, rolling three or four meters in the grass until it hit a tree trunk with a diameter of thirty or forty centimeters, then it stopped.
Chen Wenhao was secretly surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to check it out. He saw the wild boar lying on the ground and twitching constantly, and even the wailing sound became much smaller. It seemed that he had no strength. After a little while, the wild boar no longer had any movement. After a closer look, he was dead...
Chen Wenhao was frightened by himself by kicking the wild boar that had two or three hundred pounds to death. He looked down at his right leg and was amazed in his heart that the power of life has really brought about earth-shaking changes to himself. If it upgrades to another level, its strength will probably become a monster level.
If this wild boar weighing two or three hundred kilograms is brought back, it will be enough for a winter. However, Chen Wenhao didn't want to bring such a big guy in the mountains, so he left it in place.
With the experience of kicking the wild boar to death, Chen Wenhao's confidence in the mountains and forests has become stronger. Judging from the wild animal species in Huangshan, except for the black bear, the others are real battles for Chen Wenhao.
Bypassing the mountain from the middle of the mountain, Chen Wenhao used the tools to move safely and quickly to the bottom of the valley. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Wenhao finally saw the thousand-year-old yew that was dozens of meters tall.
The height of this yew tree is more than 30 meters, and the tree's life is still vigorous. Yew is an evergreen tree, so it looks like a lush and lush area, which gives people a feeling of vitality even in winter.
Although yew seedlings can be bought for money, there are great differences in quality of these artificially cultivated saplings. There are many scientific research reports on extracting paclitaxel from yew around the world. However, in general, many reports and papers reflect one point: the older the yew, the higher the purity and weight of the paclitaxel extracted per unit weight. This is why a yew with a height of more than 100 years old is often sold several times or even more than ten times the price of yew.
The main reason why Chen Wenhao was attracted by this yew is that its variety is pure. It has been over a thousand years old. His mother yew may have been pushed to the Tang Dynasty or even longer. In addition, it lives in such a hidden valley, and its genes and variety purity are absolutely not artificially disturbed. Using its branches and the power of life, it is believed that it can cultivate the yew with the highest paclitaxel content.
The plant yew basically contains paclitaxel from leaves to bark to rhizomes. However, different varieties, different tree ages and different growth environments have led to a huge gap in the paclitaxel content of yew. It is said that the content of paclitaxel in Mandiya yew can reach 30,000 parts of the branches and leaves, and the content of rhizomes is higher.
However, although there are many yew seedling companies in China, their tree species have extremely low paclitaxel content. Farmers spend a lot of money to try planting. When they are preparing to sell it three to five years later, they find that due to the poor quality, they can basically not sell it or even sell it back.
Chen Wenhao felt that since his life power can greatly increase the content of trace elements in vegetables, he could naturally greatly increase the content of paclitaxel in yew. When high-quality seedlings are bred, his life power will also be significantly improved. Even when the scale of his planting base can be expanded again, large-scale planting can be carried out.
Chen Wenhao even believes that he can invest in a production line that extracts paclitaxel by himself to produce the best natural paclitaxel in the world. After all, this kind of product has a huge profit margin and it is quite easy to recover the cost.
The world's annual output of real natural paclitaxel is no more than 500 kilograms, and the rest are all semi-synthetic second-class products. At present, the international price of paclitaxel is about 200,000 US dollars per kilogram. This price is also formulated for semi-synthetic products. The price of real natural paclitaxel is at least doubled.
Compared with large-scale cultivation of super vegetables, the difficulty coefficient is much greater, and even the demand for the power of life will increase significantly. In Chen Wenhao's mind, the positioning of yew is not a cash crop that is about to start operating now, but is planning for the future.
Chen Wenhao climbed to the top of the middle of the yew tree, cut off more than a hundred of the tenderest and healthiest branches with scissors, and then tied them into a bundle with ropes on his shoulders. In order not to cause any damage to these branches on the way back, Chen Wenhao did not forget to pour the power of life into it. Then, he began to return along the way he came.
Because he had already become familiar with this road when he came, Chen Wenhao's return journey was much smoother than when he came. When he arrived, it took him almost eight hours to reach the valley, and he only took him six hours to go back.
When he came out of the mountain, it was only around 8 o'clock in the evening. However, since Chen Wenhao's planting base was at the innermost part of Linshan Village and the closest to the mountain, he did not meet a single villager from the time he came out of the mountain and then when he returned to the factory.
Back at his factory, Chen Wenhao immediately brought more than a hundred tender branches to his hydroponics center, chose an empty hydroponics box, and put all the more than a hundred branches into it.
The upper layer of the hydroponic box is planted using a special foam board. The bottom of the branches is soaked in the hydroponic solution at a length of only about eight centimeters. The hydroponic solution used by Chen Wenhao is derived from the pipeline of the water storage tower. The water stored there contains a certain degree of life force, but it is far from saturation.
Immediately, Chen Wenhao continuously inputted the life force into this hydroponic box, so that the life force of the hydroponic liquid reached a complete saturation state.
After doing all this, Chen Wenhao put it aside and took a shower by himself, then returned to the hydroponics center, preparing to significantly transform these yew branches by cultivating their own unique fragrance.
When cultivating super vegetables, Chen Wenhao has a certain degree of astringency, because vegetables are necessities in daily life, and reference standards are deeply rooted in everyone's mind. However, most people in the world do not understand the species of yew, and there is no reference standards in their hearts. What's more, the purpose of his cultivation of yew is not to sell it to others to extract paclitaxel, but to decide to keep it for self-extracting and use in the future. Therefore, his yew will not flow into the market.
In this case, we must naturally try our best to improve its quality in order to provide the greatest help in the future.
With the power of life in it, Chen Wenhao could clearly feel that everything contained in these branches, chlorophyll, cellulose, cells, glucose, etc., were completely exposed to Chen Wenhao's control.
The weight of these branches is not ten kilograms in total, and the highest content of paclitaxel cannot exceed 30,000. However, even though the content is minimal, paclitaxel is still keenly captured by Chen Wenhao.
Immediately, all Chen Wenhao's life force seemed to boil, locking these branches firmly in it. What Chen Wenhao wanted to improve the first step was not the paclitaxel content in yew, but the growth rate of this species!
