"What?"
Hearing Li Jiayu's words, the old dean couldn't help but stare in astonishment, and even the botanists, botanists, and agronomists in the plant department couldn't help but exclaim, looking at each other and shaking their heads secretly.
Li Jiayu's tone is really too loud!
Everyone present acknowledged that Li Jiayu was the most powerful in Yong City, and she was the incarnation of the goddess of light... But no matter how brilliant she was, she was not an omnipotent god, and how could she casually produce crops that could solve the great famine?
You must know that the plant department of Yongcheng Scientific Research Institute has been busy for three months and has gathered a large number of scholars and inheritors, but they are far from being able to cultivate ideal magic plants. Li Jiayu is a layman and has no theoretical knowledge. How could she possibly tinker with the magic seeds that completely defeated the plant department? Did she really think that the hundreds of scholars in the plant department were not eating, but eating Rexiang
"Jiayu... Can such tiny sweet potatoes and potatoes... really solve the great famine?"
Xie Wenyuan also couldn't believe it. He was holding a sweet potato in one hand and a potato in the other. He looked at Li Jiayu with a strange expression. These potatoes and sweet potatoes were only about the size of oranges, which were far inferior to the new varieties cultivated by the Yongcheng Plant Department. I know that those new varieties are as big as a cantaloupe. The only disadvantage is that they grow slowly and take one and a half months to mature...
"When did I say that we could solve the great famine? These magic seeds... can only alleviate the famine a little. They only produce two to three million kilograms of food every day, which is not necessarily enough to feed seven to eight million people. , If you want everyone to have enough to eat, you still have to hunt a lot of bugs, raise larvae, livestock, and pond fish..." Li Jiayu shrugged.
"The daily output is two to three million kilograms? Are you kidding me? The most perfect crops cultivated by our plant department take at least half a month to mature, and they are still established under sufficient light conditions... Now the clouds are gathering , there is no sunshine, only flickering thunder light, if you really want to plant it. I am afraid it will take nearly two months to produce food... Do you think that it is easy to produce two to three million kilograms a day, just like completing tasks in the game? Are gold coins so readily available?"
The head of the plant department, a third-level low-level botanist, jumped out immediately, blushed and shouted excitedly in a raised voice. He had been suppressed for too long, the burden on his shoulders was heavy, and he had repeatedly made everyone extremely miserable. disappointment. So when I heard Li Jiayu casually treating two to three million kilograms of grain as if it were nothing, I completely exploded.
"Do I need to joke?"
Li Jiayu looked around for a week, his eyes slowly sweeping across everyone's faces, and finally took the sweet potato, which was only the size of an orange, from Xie Wenyuan's hand, with brilliance blooming in the palm of his hand...
The next moment, countless green onion sprouts sprouted from the surface of the small sweet potato, like winding water snakes, growing more and more densely in a short period of time. It actually climbed all over the office desks and sang loudly, spreading in all directions...
"This, this sweet potato leaf..."
See the sweet potato vines growing like crazy. The expressions of the scientific researchers present changed one after another, and they all retreated back, away from the round office table of the meeting, and even further away from the sweet potato vines with Li Jiayu as the center...
In less than a cup of tea, the scientific researchers on the periphery saw that their eyes were about to fall to the ground, because the leaves of the sweet potato vine had covered the entire hall, and they were all forced into the corner by the extremely dense sweet potato leaves!
The hall on the top floor of the Research Institute of Nottingham University is very spacious, at least 300 square meters...
However. The 300-square-meter hall was completely submerged like a sea of green leaves. Everything you saw was green leaves!
"How can there be so many?"
"It's so lush. Is this really a leaf growing from a sweet potato seed?"
"It's impossible... Even a genetically modified sweet potato would never be able to grow such dense leaves, such intricate vines, and cover hundreds of square meters of the hall... This completely goes against biology..."
"Am I dazzled... She is the goddess of light, not the goddess of life. How could she endlessly produce so many sweet potato vine leaves... "
Many inheritors and scholars of the Scientific Research Institute opened their mouths and exclaimed in jaw-dropping wonder. Even the old dean and Xie Wenyuan had their eyes gleaming and were amazed. As for the group of people in the plant department, they were even more at a loss as if they had seen it. Their foreheads were sweating like ghosts, and their hearts were about to stop beating with excitement and nervousness. Some old scholars even took off their glasses and rubbed their eyes vigorously, thinking that they were dreaming of some great spring and autumn dream...
At this time, the light in Li Jiayu's palms subsided. He raised his head and looked at the group of scientific researchers who had already been shocked and their faces were dull. He said lightly:
"Did you see it? Nothing is impossible in this world... Lift up those sweet potato vines and see how many sweet potatoes are grown underneath... "
After hearing Li Jiayu's words, Xie Wenyuan immediately stepped forward and lifted up the dense and lush sweet potato vines, only to see countless strangely shaped bright sweet potatoes growing underneath. Each one was as big as a rice dumpling, heavy, and exuded a unique sweet potato vine. aromatic…
"This... can actually have such a good harvest..."
Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but feel shocked, because there were so many sweet potatoes under the vines, one after another, densely packed. A rough estimate, I'm afraid that there are five thousand sweet potatoes in more than 300 square meters. That’s a lot of pounds, you know. In peacetime, when genetically modified sweet potatoes are planted in the ground, the yield per acre is only six to seven thousand pounds at most. But now the hall is less than half an acre, but it is almost worth one acre of fertile land. The output has increased. This is the result of Li Jiayu not taking the magic of light seriously...
"Of course it's a good harvest. The seeds of these plants... come from Yangcheng, and they are the hard work of the Yangcheng Research Institute for more than three months." Li Jiayu said with a smile.
"Yangcheng? Yangcheng's magic plants...how did you get it? Have you ever been to Yangcheng?" the old dean said in shock.
"So what if I've been there, so what if I haven't been? Let's talk about the matter first and talk about these magical plants... Well, this is a third-level low-level insect crystal..." As Li Jiayu spoke, he took out one from his bag. The insect crystal of the Queen Jellyfish was suspended, and then crushed into pieces with the devil's hands. The powder of the insect crystal also showed a strange gray-white color.
Just when everyone couldn't figure out why Li Jiayu wasted his resources and crushed the precious insect crystals, Li Jiayu had already raised his hand and threw the insect crystal powder out, and the powder fell on the sweet potato leaves...
"call"
The leaves of the sweet potato absorbed the powerful life force in the insect crystal powder, and immediately grew crazily like chicken blood. There were more and more vines and leaves, and even the sweet potato below became plumper and bigger...
"hiss-"
Seeing this scene, the head of the plant department couldn't help but gasped, as if he was hit on the top of his head by a heavy hammer. He trembled his lips and said excitedly:
"Energy absorption? This tree vine can absorb the energy of insect crystals! How is this possible? Even us humans can only fuse insect crystals with very good qualifications. Plants have no consciousness at all, so it is impossible to absorb them. …”
"Nothing is impossible. The evolution of life is far beyond our imagination. Some plants in the abyss can even eat humans. What's the fuss about these crops absorbing the energy of insect crystals?"
Li Jiayu shrugged and said seriously:
"The magic crops cultivated by Yangcheng... have more powerful vitality and have super energy absorption effects. Light is no longer the main way to provide them with energy. As long as it is beneficial to them, they can absorb it, such as Insect crystals, insect meat, insect blood, soul flames, even the rotten flesh of zombies can be converted into their energy... Just be careful with zombie meat and ordinary insect meat, after all, it is highly poisonous. It's best to purify it first before using it as fertilizer for magic crops, otherwise the food produced may be highly toxic... "
"Can it absorb energy in many ways? This..."
Hearing Li Jiayu's words, everyone present felt like they were being shocked by electricity, their breathing accelerated, and their minds were pounding!
This is an epoch-making magical plant!
Since the end of the world, due to the lack of sunlight, many previous foods have been extremely difficult to grow, and there are endless large bugs running rampant outside. However, most of the bugs are inedible, which puts the food in an absolutely embarrassing situation. Dilemma…
But it’s different now!
Humans can hunt bugs and use their corpses as fertilizer and energy to cultivate crops that grow super fast!
Don't forget, there are still a large number of insect corpses under the city wall, some of which are rotten, but there are still a lot of fresh ones, at least hundreds of thousands... If these fresh insect corpses are used as fertilizer, I don't know how much we can produce. Food, enough to feed many people!
At the thought of this, everyone in the audience laughed with excitement and relief. This great famine, which affected a wide range of areas and left the entire scientific research institute helpless... seems to have been solved in this way!
"Hey, are you thinking too simplistically? It is indeed easy to cultivate these plants... but it is only the first few generations that are particularly easy to grow. The effects will be much worse in the following generations. Besides, you think that the plants outside the city will be grown very easily..." Is it easy to transport insect corpses in? If the insect corpses pile up all over the city, a large group of swamp dragons will definitely come out, and the city will be in chaos again... There are many restrictions, so I won't I explained it one by one. In fact, it is still what I just said. If we really plant it, our Yongcheng can only produce two to three million catties per day..." (To be continued) RQ
