Chapter 149 Seed
After hearing what Harold said, Dixia became more and more eager to try. She was originally worried that she would damage the seeds, but now she felt that she could do it.
She held a two-finger-long long-handled knife, which was sharp enough to handle the hard flesh. Dixia neatly cut off part of the flesh, leaving a round ball the size of an orange. She held the partially processed fruit to her chest for Harold to confirm.
After getting the answer "no problem", she once again pressed the blade against the fruit flesh, knowing that the results of her several months of hard work would soon appear before her eyes. Even though she had made sufficient mental preparations, she still hesitated for a moment, but soon stabbed the knife cleanly and neatly.
After receiving the news that Harold might not be able to make it back, Dixia started to prepare everything alone. In order to deal with various emergencies, she read the experimental records left by Harold for her repeatedly until she could recite them, and watched all the photos taken by Harold.
"The seeds are usually located in the center of the fruit, with an average center diameter of 2.5 centimeters, which is one twentieth of the fruit diameter... The fruits obtained in this experiment are smaller than normal lily-of-the-valley fruits, but the ratio of the fruit to the seed diameter should be the same?"
Dixia muttered softly. Although it was a question, she firmly believed in her heart that this was the correct answer, so when she cut to 3 centimeters away from the center of the circle, she deliberately slowed down and her nerves became more and more tense.
"Very likely," Harold responded.
Through the screen, he could even see the beads of sweat on Dishia's forehead clearly. He watched the honey-skinned female mercenary hold the knife vertically in the posture of a dagger, moving her wrist smoothly and letting the tip of the knife move down little by little.
Suddenly, she stopped moving and a look of surprise appeared on her face. Her subtle change in expression did not escape Harold's eyes.
In a new experimental experience, this expression can often represent many meanings.
"Ms. Dexia?" Harold called out, "How are the seeds?"
"I can't sense any remnants of lightning elements, but the traces of fire elements are quite obvious. I don't know if this can be considered a success... You can see for yourself."
Dixia recovered and cut off half of the remaining flesh along the trace of the blade in two or three strokes. Then she picked up the other half of the fruit and aimed the cut towards the screen.
The two seeds were half buried in the flesh, and from Harold's perspective he could only see that their color was the same as that of ordinary fire-attribute Liar Flower seeds.
"Is the petri dish ready?" Harold asked.
"Of course, I have prepared three different sized glass jars, and the culture soil inside is strictly configured according to the ratio in your lab notes."
Speaking of this, Dixia was a little proud. The size of the seeds obtained was smaller than expected, although not much smaller, and far from the point where the culture dish needed to be replaced, but this showed that she had learned to consider various possibilities before the experiment.
"very good."
Haroldt had also thought of this, so he smiled and praised, and then said, "There is an elemental force display agent in the locker in the laboratory. Take some and drop it on the seeds."
"Elemental force indicator? What is that?" Dixia asked.
"A colorless and transparent potion that can react with different elemental forces and change color according to the different elemental forces. Its grasp of elemental forces is more acute than human perception. Even an elemental force as small as a grain of pollen can cause it to change color." Harold explained.
"You still have this kind of thing here?!" Di Xiawei was a little surprised.
Coming from the desert to the rainforest, she is very receptive to all kinds of new things. In her opinion, it is normal for humans to create new things to improve their lives.
She would be surprised instinctively, but she would attribute this emotion to her own narrow vision, so what surprised her at the moment was that Haroldt actually put this potion in the laboratory.
"I prepared a lot of tools and medicines, and spent a lot of money on regular maintenance and replacement. However, since these things are not usually used, I didn't explain them in detail. It's normal that you don't know."
Harold said, "If you encounter any emergency in the future, you may see some tools and materials that would not appear in a biological laboratory.
——Okay, go get the medicine. It’s on the east side of the laboratory, on the wall with many cabinets. It’s in cabinet numbered X, on the second floor. It’s in a small glass bottle with a label on it. It’s not hard to find.”
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Dixia came to the laboratory and walked to the place Haroldt said. She had always been carefree and had not paid attention to the abnormality of the wall in front of her, nor had she considered what was inside the cabinet.
Following Harold's instructions, she opened the corresponding cabinet and a glass bottle labeled "Elemental Power Display Agent" appeared in front of her.
She took the bottle out of the cabinet and glanced inside unconsciously. Bottles of various colors with long or short labels came into view. She didn't recognize many of the words on the labels.
Is it the same in other cabinets? Preparing so many medicines must take a lot of time and money, right?
When Dixia walked out of the laboratory, she looked at the cabinets on the wall again, sighed in her heart, and closed the door.
"You don't need to use a lot, just one drop is enough." Harold said when he saw Dixia walking out of the laboratory.
Dixia unscrewed the bottle cap, drew a drop of medicine with the dropper that came with the bottle, and dropped it on the seeds while it was suspended vertically in the air. Her operation was methodical and completely in line with the experimental specifications in the textbook.
"Red... a little purple!" Dixia said in surprise, "So this seed actually contains two elements?"
"Yes, there is still a little thunder element." Harold said, "Try the others? Just follow your previous operation."
