Chapter 253 A bold idea
...
"What? Is it a rumor?" Tinari opened his eyes slightly wide.
Harold, who was sitting opposite him, shrugged helplessly:
"For this reason, the disciplinary officers of the Fatwa Court arrested a group of businessmen, but they were released on bail by their families.
There is also a new fertilizer on the shelves. Although the supplier was criticized for being disrespectful to the gods after the news that the merchant spread rumors and was punished by the Magistrates' Court, their purpose has been achieved. This new fertilizer has received widespread attention from people from all walks of life.
Moreover, Dolly adjusted the mixing ratio of the ingredients in the formula, and the effect is better than the original 'Benefit of Abundance'. If you need it, I can write you a letter of introduction and ask Dolly if she can sell it to you at cost price - you seem a little disappointed?"
Tinari held his forehead and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be like this. I originally thought that the Little Auspicious Grass King showed up to solve the increasingly frequent dead zone problem, but it turns out that our Lord Grass God didn't show up at all."
Fortunately, I haven't sent the letter to my teacher yet, Tinari thought.
"The dead zone problem?" Harold repeated.
Tinari nodded and said, "There is one growing near your greenhouse. If I had gone one day later, your newly built greenhouse might have become a ruin."
Is this true? Am I so unlucky?
Haroldt had a complicated expression, or was it because the designer was Senior Kavi and he was actually the unlucky one?
Tinari chuckled and said, "Fortunately, we found it in time. It is now a landmark building in Huacheng. I see many outsiders coming here every day to see your greenhouse.
Well...if you charge admission, you should be able to make a pretty good profit."
After saying that, he sighed and said, "I originally placed my hopes on Lord Grass God, but now it seems that the frequent appearance of the dead zone may really be caused by climate change."
"Maybe. I hope things will get better after a while." Haroldt said casually.
Before he traveled through time, he heard people say that the emergence of the Dead Zone was related to forbidden knowledge. Then, could the faster expansion of the Dead Zone now be due to the worsening pollution of the World Tree?
Then he looked at the longbow that Tinari was carrying. It was emerald green in color, with a beautiful shape and a metallic sheen.
This is the truly out-of-print five-star weapon, Hunter's Path (it was not included in the mixed pool when Harold wore it). It cannot be seen in 3D, but I saw it three times.
Harold thought silently and quickly looked away: "My hybridization experiment of the cheat flower has made some progress. I need your help in a few days. Are you free next week?"
Tinari's ears twitched, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "Why, you didn't come up with the three-element trick flower so quickly, did you?"
"I feel like this time we're almost there," Harold folded his hands with a happy smile on his face.
"After pollination, the corollas of some of the mother plants gradually fell off, which is a phenomenon that has never happened before. Although we cannot be sure that they will 100% produce fruits and that the fruits produced will 100% contain seeds, at least there is progress."
"Congratulations, so what do you need me to do for you?" Tinari asked curiously.
"In fact, except for a few female plants, the other female plants still failed to successfully pollinate and suddenly stopped developing in the middle of the process.
And it has nothing to do with how much elemental power they absorb after pollination. I want to know the cause of the problem. I hope you can help me.
I will cut the receptacle after pollinating the mother plant, and you can use the grass elemental power to speed up the fruit development process. I may be able to find the answer to the question based on this process."
Tinari was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "You are really..."
Without giving Tinari a chance to refuse, Harold continued, "It may not be successful. I can't say whether the grass elemental force has the same obvious effect on the growth of elemental plant life as it does on ordinary plants."
"You'll know if you try. I'll help you. Give me a time next week. I'm always free.
I have another question. You only need one Grass-attributed God's Eye owner to assist you in your experiment, so why don't you choose to ask your roommate for help? Any of them should meet your requirements. "
Tinari asked curiously.
Good question. Kavi is busy at construction sites almost all day and drawing at night.
Alhazen... Alhazen is too expensive, and you are free.
Harold thought.
On the surface, he smiled and said, "Senior Kawi is quite busy recently, and Al Haisen is preparing for the clerk's assessment. I can only ask you for help."
"That position is vacant." Tinari sighed. He had also heard about Elhaisen's deeds. After Haroldt's words, he roughly guessed the cause and effect.
"Yes," said Harold.
So he often saw Elhaisen replacing some of his books with exam materials recently.
Well... it's a bit subtle. No matter who you are as the BKing of Xumi or the savior of Xumi in the future, you still can't escape the reviewing for the civil service exam.
After discussing this with Tinari, the two chatted casually for a while, and then Haroldt walked into the greenhouse to check on the plants.
Although he intentionally used air conditioning to lower the temperature, a small amount of mint and sweet flowers had already bloomed. Fortunately, in an environment of 20 degrees Celsius, their flowering period will last for about three months.
In half a month, I will ask Radu and his team to come and collect pollen. Harold made a plan in his mind.
...
The next week, Tinari arrived at the appointment on time. He stood beside the laboratory table and watched curiously as Haroldt gave the flower a physical anesthesia and then cut open its receptacle to expose the stigma.
"Tinari, try inputting elemental power?" Harold said.
Tinari took a few steps closer and stretched out his hand towards the capital of the Liar Flower. In the eyes of Harold, the holder of the Eye of God, a hint of green was lingering around the capital like a ribbon, wrapping it up.
Ten seconds later, Tinari shook his head and said to Harold regretfully: "It seems to have no effect."
"We cannot rule out the possibility that pollination was unsuccessful. Why don't we try another mother plant?" Harold asked Tinari for his opinion.
"no problem."
Haroldt tied another mother to the experimental table and knocked her unconscious with a brick.
"I was just thinking about something." Tinari couldn't help but ask, "Does this count as beating a pregnant woman?"
Harold thought for two seconds and replied, "Good question, but I don't have an anesthetic that can numb the flowers. This is the way to minimize their pain.
You know me well. On the basis of the smooth progress of research, I always uphold the humanitarian spirit. "
“…Haha,” Tinari laughed dryly. “I’m just using fungal toxins to develop a potion that can paralyze elemental life forms and cause them to hallucinate. Once it’s developed successfully, you can try to use it on your Liarflower.”
"'Paralyze elemental life forms'?" Haroldt's mouth curled up slightly, and I suddenly had a bold idea.
"It's still in the testing phase - you won't use it for something weird, will you?" Seeing Haroldt's unusually weird smile, Tinari rolled his eyes.
"Of course, you know me," Harold said sincerely.
Tinari curled the corner of his mouth and began to input elemental power into the Pianpianhua in front of him.
This time, under the influence of the grass element, the corolla of the flower began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But halfway through the withering process, the entire flower stopped moving. No matter how Tinari increased the concentration of the elemental force it transmitted, it did not change.
"The growth-promoting effect is limited. The influence on elemental plant life forms cannot be compared with that on ordinary plants."
Tinari withdrew his hand and looked at his palm. This experiment also helped him understand more about the peculiarities of elemental plant life forms. He felt that this information was very valuable.
Then, he followed the same method to help Harold deal with sixteen Liarflowers. When Harold put the seventeenth Liarflower onto the test bench, Tinari called a stop.
"After watching for so long, have you gained anything?" asked Tinari.
Yes, I found that with your help, I can quickly select the female plants that can be successfully pollinated. Harold thought to himself.
But on the surface, he shook his head and said in a frustrated tone: "Not yet, maybe I need to do a few more experiments."
"That's all for today," Tinari said as he stood up and said goodbye, "I still have to go patrol the area I'm responsible for. I'll come help you tomorrow."
"It seems that you have quickly integrated into the team of forest rangers." Harold sighed with a smile.
"It's also due to the fact that the dead zone has increased too quickly." Tinari said with a wry smile.
