Chapter 113 Harold: I have no money, I am so poor

He placed the cage full of mice outside the door and entered the same room again. He used the stainless steel sieve to sift out the thunder-attribute pollen of the deceitful flower and the fire-attribute pollen of the deceitful flower.

This time, he deliberately slowed down to allow Dixia to observe his movements carefully.

"Look, the process of extracting pollen is very simple, right?" Harold asked with a smile as he placed the petri dish containing pollen in front of Dixia.

Dixia nodded, and immediately understood the employer's implication: "It's really not difficult. I can complete this job by myself. If you have anything else to do, just leave it to me."

"Of course, I really have this plan," Harold nodded and reminded, "but there are a few points you need to pay special attention to. Don't take out too many anthers at one time, which will cause unnecessary waste."

He now has only four thunder-attribute Liarflowers in his hand. One is the Little Eighteen that the original group of thirty people gave him, and the other three are part of a batch of Liarflowers he bought from Dolly two months ago.

In order to find enough experimental materials for him in a short period of time, Dolly mobilized her own connections to purchase the Hypochromia at high prices from merchants from various countries who came to the port of Omos. With Dolly's help, he was able to expand the scale of the experiment in just one month and begin to study the hybridization of Hypochromia.

Although their prices far exceeded the market price, and some were even sold for four million Mora each, he was rich now. With Dolly's deliberate promotion, freeze-dried food and milk tea had become popular in the Xumi rainforest area. Except for the barriers of the desert and rainforest, and the Kawan Posthouse where the Ordinance House intentionally hired a large number of mercenaries to guard, because of the relatively harsh environment, the locals were more willing to spend money on buying rice and beans. In other rainforest areas, the sales of these snacks almost exceeded that of fruits.

His monthly income has increased from more than 40 million Moras at the beginning to more than 150 million Moras now. Spending more than 60 million Moras at once is only half of his monthly income, not to mention that he just received a project subsidy of 50 million Moras from the Ministry of Religion.

However, because of the investment in the shared tricycle project, all the dividends received in the second and third months, that is, July and August this year, were invested: part of it was used to support Kawi's customized parts molds, part of it was used as the salary of management personnel, and part of it was used for regular maintenance of the vehicles.

His plan to purchase a large number of experimental fields and dig artificial ponds had to be temporarily shelved.

Let's save up some research funds first. He learned from Dolly that there were scientists in Fontaine who were researching the difference engine. He originally wanted to invest in it. After all, referring to the technology tree of Blue Star, if they continued to research in this direction, they would eventually develop electronic computers.

There is no rush. In a few months, Dolly will definitely be able to sell freeze-dried food and milk tea to other countries, making them popular commodities in other countries as well. By then, his monthly income will be even higher.

Moreover, he just harvested the first batch of sea rice this year. After a simple screening and careful counting, he obtained a total of 479,034 rice seeds. He still has 5034 rice seeds in his hands, which can be planted together in April next year.

That would only allow him to cultivate about five mu of land, not even close to the scale of a normal agricultural student's experimental field. But this was exactly the scale he could manage alone, and he could also temporarily choose a coastal area for planting, without having to spend extra money to buy an experimental field.

Well, I've gone off topic. Let's get back to the topic of the Liar Flowers. There were thirty Liar Flowers in that batch, but only three were of thunder attribute, two were of ice attribute, and the rest were of fire attribute. Dolly bought the ice and thunder Liar Flowers from a Mond merchant and then resold them to him. In other words, they came from Mond to his laboratory.

Logically speaking, given the distance between them, there should be some differences between the Deceptive Flowers of Mond and Xumi, but Haroldt has not found anything unusual yet, so he temporarily mixed the anthers of the four Deceptive Flowers together without making any distinction.

An adult lizard will recover from its injuries very quickly if it absorbs enough elemental energy, and a broken limb can be regenerated within a day. If they undergo surgery to suture them, they can recover even faster.

It was this recovery ability that accelerated the progress of his experiments. Otherwise, he would have to worry about not being able to obtain enough Thunder-attribute pollen from the Deceptive Flower. But even so, the amount of pollen he could obtain every day was not enough to support his extravagant waste in the experiments.

Three hours a day was the amount he arrived at after many calculations. It would allow him to maximize the use of his experimental materials and also allow the assistant experimenters to maintain their best working condition.

"Okay, I'll pay attention. Just follow the amount you used just now, right?" Dixia said. She had just watched very carefully, and she counted clearly how many anthers Harold took. Of course, this was also because the reproductive organs of the liar flower were much larger than those of ordinary plants.

Harold: "Use it according to that standard. Every time you sift out the pollen, you must remember to put the anthers back into the incubator. The pollen of the lily of the valley is very special. If it is not kept in a dry environment at 20 degrees Celsius, it will become inactive in less than an hour."

"I remember." Dixia nodded, and then immediately repeated a few key points in her mind.

"Then you operate it first and I'll watch." Haroldt said and gave the experimental table to Dixia.

Dixia had to do it herself with a serious look on her face. She looked at the anthers in the drying box as if she was looking at a group of treasure robbers. She opened the door of the drying box, recalled what Haroldt had just said, and then followed the steps carefully.

Harold leaned against the laboratory table in a relaxed manner, with his hands resting on the table, but his eyes followed Dixia's movements closely. Dixia's throat tightened. She had never felt that her employer's gaze would make her feel uneasy.

When the pollen made a "bang!" sound and the glass petri dish shattered into pieces, Harold smiled and nodded, then stood up with his hands on the table.

"Just follow the steps and feelings just now. You can understand the elemental power part on your own. I feel that you have grasped it very well today. Compared with yesterday, you have made great progress. I will go feed my experimental materials. See you later."

Apart from the obvious gap between the two steps due to lack of proficiency, and the failure of the experiment due to insufficient control over the elemental force, there were no problems with Dixia's operation.

After saying that, Harold walked straight towards the door.

wait...!

Dixia opened her eyes slightly in surprise and instinctively wanted to keep him, but she just opened her mouth and swallowed what she wanted to say.

Leaving now?

What about inspection?

She had specially set aside two hours to carefully review the notes Harold had given her, confident that she could answer any questions he asked, but Harold left now? !

Why don't you test me? Dixia couldn't help but shout in her heart.

But Harold didn't look back. Dixia scratched his head in disappointment, adjusted his mood and continued the experiment.

Three hours passed quickly. Dixia broke fifty-one petri dishes today and still failed to successfully attach elemental force to the pollen. However, after the elemental force was attached, the explosion time of the pollen was delayed by a few tenths of a second.

Harold: "Yes, there is progress. I originally expected that this step would take at least a month, but judging by the situation in the past two days, we can start the next round of experiments in two weeks... no, at least a week.

If I can successfully crossbreed the Lightning Attribute Trickster and the Fire Attribute Trickster, I will also hire you to help me crossbreed the Ice Attribute Trickster and the Fire Attribute Trickster, which may be even more difficult. "

As he said this, a dusky bird standing on his shoulder used its beak to groom its feathers from time to time, but Harold, with his hands behind his back, checked the remaining anthers in the drying box as if he felt nothing.

"You can take a little more each time, Miss Dixia." Harold commented after reading it. At this time, the dusk bird on his shoulder had finished preening its feathers, folded its wings and began to take a nap.

Dishia achieved a good time of zero seconds in the Don’t Look There Challenge.

"This is my communication partner. Don't worry, it's very clean. Don't worry about it affecting the experiment." Harold said, "It's quite clingy. If I put it in a cage, it will keep barking."

"I see." Dixia nodded. She found it still difficult to take her eyes off the bird on Haroldt's shoulder.

"Okay, today's work is over. Miss Dixia, if there is no problem and you don't need to stay here, you can leave now." Haroldt said.

"I still don't understand a few concepts," Dixia took out yesterday's notes, turned to the blank back, and took out the feather pen given by Harold, "Please tell me, what is heterogamy in sexual reproduction?"

...

After answering all of Dishia's questions, Harold still lent her his pack animal so that she could stay overnight in the residential area. Then he checked the physical condition of the deceptive flowers as usual, weighed their height and weight, and extracted the deceptive nectar.

After finishing his work here, he returned to Xumi City at 7:30 in the evening, ready to carry out today's publicity work with Kavi.

This time the work location was in the commercial street, and the crowd of onlookers changed from farmers to businessmen, scholars, porters, and there were also two or three farmers living in the suburbs who deliberately spent an hour to rush to the commercial street in order to experience the joy of cycling again.

Because of the large population base, there were about a hundred people watching on both sides of Kavi and Harold. When Kavi took out the projector and phonograph and started playing the promotional video, the discussions even drowned out the sound of the phonograph.

The porters were mainly shocked, and some businessmen and scholars had gleams in their eyes after being shocked, and they looked at Kavi and Haroldt with strange eyes.

Unlike the suburban residents who quickly immersed themselves in the content of the promotional video after the first screening, they asked Kavi about the production process of the promotional video and whether the communication equipment they used could be mass-produced.
