Chapter 246 Tinari: Punishment!
Dolly's porters helped Harold move the sweet flowers and mint to the greenhouse and planted them in the soil as Harold requested.
This batch of mint and sweet flowers totaled 6,000 plants, which could barely fill half of the land in the first greenhouse. Logically, it should be about one acre of land, so the project was not large.
The porters sent by Dolly were not good at planting, but they were free. Harold bribed them with a small bag of nectar powder without any guilt and asked them to spend half a day to complete the project for him.
As they left, each of them had a happy smile on their face, and several of them solemnly thanked Harold, praising him as the most generous employer they had ever met.
In the second week, new sweet flowers and mint arrived from Dolly. Harold did the same thing and asked the porter who delivered the goods to him to help him plant the fields as well.
In this way, in less than half a month, his greenhouse was almost full of plants, leaving only half an acre of land idle, which was the reward he promised to one of his best friends and his research partner, Tinari.
Harold also used the oil distillation equipment and oil cracking equipment donated by Ms. Alice to refine gasoline, diesel, ethylene and other products with one click, and used diesel as fuel for internal combustion engines.
His internal combustion engine was a mechanical device that was eliminated after the emergence of mineral energy. In the years when it was still in operation, it mainly used a mixture of gunpowder and some pharmaceutical agents as fuel. Its principle was similar to that of a spark ignition engine, and its thermal efficiency was very low.
Harold hired a mechanic who was good at classical mechanical engineering to improve the engine so that it could run on diesel fuel.
He briefly explained to the mechanic the principle of the diesel engine that appeared on Blue Star in the late 19th century.
The mechanic spent three months and lost countless hair, and finally developed a Teyvat version of the ignition internal combustion engine based on the original device, which increased the efficiency of this internal combustion engine to 27%.
This thermal efficiency is already very high. Harold was very satisfied with the mechanic's modification. He quickly purchased a matching air conditioner.
The air conditioner is mainly used for cooling, because Xumi has high temperature all year round, even in winter.
High temperatures would advance the flowering period of mint and sweet flowers, and also shorten the pollen period. The amount of pollen he could obtain in a year would be extremely limited, which would greatly limit his research efficiency.
His purpose of building a greenhouse is to use the greenhouse to create a constant temperature environment, allowing perennial herbs such as mint and sweet lily to bloom two or three times a year and extend their flowering period.
Soon after the greenhouse was set up, Tinari received his diploma from the House of the Decrees.
This specially recruited scholar, the favorite disciple of the sage of the Shenglun School, graduated from the Jiaolingyuan in just one year, which caused an uproar in the Jiaolingyuan.
The scholars who had already suffered a blow when Harold graduated suffered a second trauma. Scholars who liked to watch the fun dug up rumors that the two had a close relationship. Because their hair colors happened to be black and white, some scholars jokingly called them "the black and white evil spirits of Amyrido College."
Tinari, who was always well-informed, later mentioned this title to Harold, and Harold was so embarrassed that he almost dug out an entire Palace of Wisdom with his feet.
As soon as Tinari received his diploma, he quickly packed his bags and left the Ordinarial College. According to the map provided by Harold, he went to Harold's research institute to meet him.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Tinari." Harold smiled and extended his right hand to Tinari.
I was secretly thinking in my heart: If you hadn't come, my flowers would have bloomed. Fortunately, you graduated in time and caught up with the first pollen season.
Tinari took Harold's hand, shook it, and said with a smile:
"The review process of the Ministry of Education is really cumbersome. Fortunately, the teacher didn't make it difficult for me. Phew, I finally escaped. It turns out that the natural air is more refreshing."
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and looked intoxicated.
Harold smiled in agreement, and then made a "this way please" gesture:
"Welcome to settle here. Come, let me introduce you to my team members, Radu, Ilyas, Murtada,
They are all my cherished students, and in my opinion, they all have the potential to become great sages."
"Hello, I'm Tinari, a good friend of your mentor. We may have many opportunities to work together in the future."
Tinari smiled and held out his hand to the three.
Radu, Elias, and Murtada were just stunned by Harold's words "they have the talent to become great sages", and they were frightened by the name "Tinari".
Tinari is a well-known figure in the Church Order. His status as a disciple of the sage alone makes him the envy of many.
In addition, he has a good temper and is always willing to patiently answer questions for his classmates, so scholars in the Academy of Teaching always praise him. Even Radu, who always stays in the laboratory, has heard of his deeds.
The three of them never thought that they would have the chance to work with this great figure in the House of the Decrees. When Tinari greeted them, they were stunned and excited, and they stretched out their hands mechanically.
When Tinari took their hands, they just shook stiffly.
"This is my research institute and the flower farm. Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Harold asked after Tinari finished greeting his students.
Tinari walked to Harold's side, his wiggling ears indicating his good mood:
"Okay, I heard that you have cultivated a deceptive flower that can release two elemental powers. I have always wanted to see it with my own eyes."
"Please come this way." Harold chuckled and walked in front to lead the way.
Radu and others returned to the student dormitory to continue today's research work.
Tinari looked around and said, "When I first entered school, I heard the teacher and your mentor say, 'Harold is a scholar who truly inherited the will of the first generation of sages and practiced the doctrines of our school.'"
Harold nodded slightly: "Thank you for your compliment."
Tinari smiled and shook his head: "I was skeptical at first, but what I saw and heard today made me feel that what the teacher said was not an exaggeration. I was particularly surprised that you accepted three desert people as your first disciples.
Most mentors don’t want to accept desert people because of the attitude of the Great Sage... and some other reasons—”
Harold had to stop for a moment, turned around, and interrupted his narration with a complicated expression: "Radu and the others are all rainforest people."
Tinari's smile froze on his face instantly.
Rainforest people?
Are those two who are darker than Seno and one who is as dark as half Seno all rainforest people?
"The weather in Kawanyi is not as good as in the rain forest. Planting rice there will easily cause sunburn. This is the price of research."
Harold explained, "They were very happy, and they would privately compete with each other to see who had the darkest tan. They felt that they were more manly than when they were studying."
Tinari was silent for a long time, and finally uttered a word "Oh."
Then, he forced a smile and said, “The people of Xumi will remember their contributions.”
Harold nodded and said, "Here we are. This is my most important experiment, Little Eighteen.
It is a male liar with a high IQ, and is currently evolving into an ancient wood-shaped elemental plant life form.
In just three weeks, its height increased from 264.5 cm to 302.1 cm, and its new branches grew from 2.8 cm to 15.6 cm.
The branches are obviously in the immature stage, and there are no other obvious changes. I guess it is still a long way from completing the evolution.
My student Radu is testing the 'Benefit of Jia Rang'. I have described the effects of that potion to you. We are going to use it on Xiao Shi Ba.
If the expected experimental results can be achieved, we will then use Xiao Shiba as the mother plant to try hybridization with Qianqianhua, as well as hybridization with Mint, Tiantianhua and Xiao Shiba. "
The more you talk, the more torture you get.
Tinari took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then said with a smile:
"Haha, don't let the teacher know what you are researching, otherwise he will send you ten letters in a row to warn you, and this time even I might be implicated."
Harold smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated to think of the lily of the valley as a plant that can move."
"Say that again in front of the teacher or Seno." Tinari rolled his eyes.
Harold curled his lips and then showed Tinari his other experiments.
After hearing that Harold had not yet succeeded in cultivating the deception flower that could manipulate three elements, Tinari curiously flipped through the thick research notes, checked the experimental instruments in the institute, and watched Dishia's operation process.
"I think there is nothing wrong with your experiment. It should have succeeded long ago." Tinari held his chin up and said thoughtfully.
"'...after pollination, the vast majority of females exhibited the same behavioral patterns seen during ovule development...'
Have you ever considered the influence of external factors? For example, the water you use to water the pollinated flowers, the pH value of the soil, the properties of the elemental forces you infuse, etc. "
