Chapter 240 Harold: I recommend Little 8
Harold said "Hmm", then said: "Work hard, you have the talent to become a sage."
Work hard in the next few years and publish a few more papers. When the little auspicious grass king takes back everything from her, I will immediately appoint you as a sage of the Shenglun School. Then I will have nothing to do. A bright future is beckoning to me.
Harold thought happily, and then said, "After talking so much just now, are you thirsty?"
After hearing this, Radu licked his lips subconsciously and swallowed his saliva to moisten his dry throat: "Not bad."
Harold took the glass of water and handed it to him. His unusually attentive attitude made Dixia look at him twice. Radu took the glass with both hands a little uneasily and held it in his palms nervously.
"Drink it, and listen to my thoughts while you drink it," said Harold.
Upon hearing this, Radu immediately took a sip of water, but his eyes never left Harold. Rather than the physical discomfort, he was more eager to know what kind of advice his mentor would give this time.
"There are a few points that can be improved on your experiment," Harold said slowly.
"First is the control experiment. You spray the appropriate concentration of ethyl... ahem, 'Jia Rang Zhi Hui' solvent on seedlings of different plants and observe the gender of their flowers to draw conclusions.
In fact, you can also find an antagonist of the effect of Jiarangzhihui and treat the plants with it, and use the plants treated with the antagonist as the control group.
Different experiments will make your conclusions more convincing, and the process of exploring antagonists will also give you a deeper understanding of the mechanism of action of "Jia Rang Zhi Hui".
In addition, you can also study the male flowers separately, and further subdivide the "sexual period" you defined, hmm...
For example, take wheat as an example, and extract three periods from its sexual period:
In the early stage of panicle differentiation, the late stage of branch differentiation, the stage of pistil primordium differentiation to the stage before pistil formation, and then set up a control experiment to study at which stage the use of 'Jia Rang Zhi Hui' is most effective. "
Radu listened carefully and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Yes! Why didn't I think of that?"
No matter how carefully I prepared and how carefully I recorded the experimental data, my tutor could still point out my shortcomings and give me valuable suggestions for improvement. He really deserves the title of the youngest graduate in the history of the School of Education!
Dixia was confused. She found that she could not understand the Xumi common language at all after Harold started talking. From beginning to end, she found that Harold had two unknown proper nouns in every sentence.
Why am I still staying here?! Dixia rolled her eyes up and stared at the ceiling in a trance.
"It's a big project, and I guess the best time to use 'Jia Rang Zhi Hui' varies for each plant, and you can start with common crops that have economic value,
But now, I need you to study several dioecious plants with similar properties to the Deception Flower, and make predictions before using the "Benefit of Jia Rang" on the juvenile Deception Flower to reduce research losses." Harold said.
"That's what I was planning to do, teacher." Radu said hurriedly, "I know the value of the flower, I will do my best to reduce the research cost!"
Harold nodded with satisfaction, then poured himself a glass of water and drank it slowly.
Taking advantage of this gap, Dixia said: "Hey, you guys chat first, I still have more than a hundred cheating flowers to feed today--"
Harold casually placed the half-empty cup of water on the test bench and said with a smile:
"It's almost over, Miss Dixia, don't leave in a hurry, the following is the key, which involves the part that requires your cooperation in the experiment. I hope you can listen patiently.
I will take time to give you extra lessons in the evening and ensure that you learn this part of knowledge within a week."
Dishia: “Oh, okay.”
Harold said this, and Dexia's restless heart immediately calmed down.
Radu looked at Dishiya with envy. He could actually get individual guidance from the teacher. When would such a good thing happen to him?
“Choose plants with a shorter maturity period and complete the preparation work as soon as possible. It doesn’t matter if the results are not precise. Keep in touch with me at any time so that I can adjust the arrangements according to the specific situation.”
Harold looked at Xiao Shiba, who had grown taller, and Dixia and Radu also looked over with him.
Harold: "Xiao Shiba seems to be in the evolutionary stage. See the new buds growing on both sides of its calyx? It is very likely to grow into two long vines and bloom flowers.
Those two flowers are probably reproductive organs as well as special discharge organs.
According to the adventurers' description, the two flowers will produce full (positive) stamens and empty (negative) stamens respectively, and electric current will be generated between them.
In my hometown, the two poles correspond to the two sexes of organisms, so I made a bold assumption that the two flowers that have not yet appeared will be one male flower and one female flower.
In other words, Xiao Shiba has changed from a dioecious plant to a monoecious plant. Will its newly born flowers also have a "bisexual period"?
If my assumption is correct, the emptiness and fullness correspond to yin and yang, and female and male, which means that there is no natural, pure female lightning tree in nature. It should be a monoecious plant.
Then can we use 'Jia Rang Zhi Hui' to make both of its flowers develop into female flowers? If Xiao Shiba's two discharge organs become female flowers, does it mean that it will only be able to produce 'Xuji Flower Stamens'?
Then one of Xiao Shiba's attack methods is to drop two 'Xuji Flower Stamens' at the same time. Will there be an electric current between these two Xuji Flower Stamens? It's really curious. "
Harold was in a very happy mood, and his tone gradually changed from calm to cheerful.
After his initial surprise and amazement, Radu began to seriously think about the series of questions raised by Harold. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the content here was worth digging deeper, and his desire to study Xiao Shiba became stronger and stronger.
Dixia silently recited every word Harold said in her heart and did what Harold wanted: no matter whether she could understand it or not, she had to memorize them first.
Harold: "This is a rare research opportunity. Of course, it may also be the only time. Without long-term exposure to high concentrations of lightning elemental power, the possibility of the Liarflower suddenly evolving is pitifully small."
As he said this, Harold turned to Xiao Shiba, who was shocked and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
After Harold did this, Radu immediately stared at Xiao Shiba. Dixia glanced at the two of them respectively and pretended to look over there as well.
Under the oppressive gazes of the three men, Xiao Shiba timidly took two steps back slowly with his short legs.
Harold suddenly laughed: "That's why I asked you to adjust the progress of other experiments. Although this will inevitably cause me to suffer a considerable loss, for this research, I am willing to sacrifice other experimental subjects...
The lightning tree that has two female flowers and can only produce virtual stamens is exciting to think about. If my hypothesis is correct, we can use Xiao Shiba as the female parent for hybridization experiments, and we can fertilize him with pollen from two male parents at a time.
Very good, excellent! The efficiency of the experiment has been greatly improved, as has the number of excellent hybrid offspring. It is so lucky to have caught Xiao Shiba. I will make the day we met a lucky day for our research group!"
"Okay! Will you give us a day off?" Dixia asked curiously.
"Holiday? Of course not. We will hold a team meeting on this day to report on the progress of our work.
Even if there is nothing to report, we still hold the group meeting as usual, and then we cut the cake and take photos together." Harold said.
After hearing this, Dishia curled her lips, while Radu cheered and clapped happily.
...
On Monday morning, on the streets of Xumi City, an old man and a young boy were walking along the roadside.
The older one wore thick round-framed glasses and a patterned green robe that symbolized the high-ranking status of the Faith Council. The younger one wore a scholar's uniform issued by the Faith Council, and a pair of striking long black ears swayed in the wind.
The two men had similar hairstyles and were mistaken for father and son by several residents who did not know them along the way.
Suddenly, the boy's ears moved, and he instinctively turned around to look at an inconspicuous little house. In the open space in front of the house, two children were arguing.
The older man also stopped and looked over there, but the distance was too far and he couldn't hear anything.
