The World Environmental Exchange Conference was held at the World Sports Arena in the heart of Magic City. A huge crowd had gathered there that day.
Environmental departments from many countries were in attendance, along with reporters from around the world.
There were even more reporters this time than at the previous press conference about Immune System Fish and HIV treatment.
After all, this conference involved trading plants cultivated by Fals Laboratory for Immune System Fish. The attendees included not only reporters who had covered the HIV treatment press conference, but also many environmental journalists.
The plants cultivated by Fals Laboratory had also been made public. They were called Xie Grass, a plant that was extremely drought-resistant and had a remarkable ability to survive.
Xie Grass was inedible and had no other uses.
But its ability to combat desertification was more than enough to make it useful. Tests by Fals Laboratory had shown that Xie Grass had a survival rate of nearly 40 percent in the desert.
That was an exceptionally high survival rate. For desert control, it was already good enough to be put to use on a large scale.
Of course, there were many desert-control technologies around these days, and every lab seemed to boast that its own was the best.
Fals Laboratory, however, had nothing but disdain for them.
Take, for example, a technology involving desert-binding agents.
Its proponents claimed that adding the agent to the desert would turn the sand into ordinary soil suitable for planting.
It was certainly an impressive technology by current standards.
Unfortunately, the agent had too many limitations. It could only be used in deserts near mountain ranges, where there were underground water sources or abundant nearby snowmelt.
In truth, the claims were exaggerated. If a desert had underground water or abundant
