Before Shu Miao could be happy for long, the more he dug, the more he felt something was wrong.

Because as a control group, only the other half of the mushroom nest was covered with soil in the space, and only a few hemp seeds that were smaller than her thumb were dug out here and there.

Look at the pile of fat white hemp seeds weighing four or five pounds, and then look at this pile of sparse thin hemp seeds weighing less than half a pound.

For the first time, Shu Miao began to doubt the universal planting capabilities of space.

Fortunately, this doubt only lasted for a short while, and she stopped thinking about it.

After all, space is a very mysterious thing, and she only understands some of its basic uses.

Since she knew that space was not omnipotent, she would try her best to make up for it in other aspects.

You can't rely entirely on space, right?

She didn't know how the space came about, nor did she know whether the space would disappear silently one day in the future.

If given a choice, she feels it is necessary to reduce her dependence on space and focus on improving herself.

Shu Miao adjusted his mindset, sat cross-legged on the ground, took out his notebook, and recorded the two sets of experimental data in detail.

Because she was not sure whether these powdered seeds were still alive, she only made a preliminary record of how to use Gastrodia seeds for planting.

It is already a big surprise to confirm that powdered seeds can survive and produce seeds. As for more, it is better not to have too many fantasies.

According to the results of the two groups of experiments, it is highly likely that there is a kind of fungus in the humus soil outside that is not well known to everyone, which provides the Gastrodia elata seeds with substances that can germinate.

I just wonder if this set of experiments of hers can be considered as solving this difficult problem in advance?

After all, the difficulty in growing Gastrodia elata as noted in Doctor Wang’s illustrated book is stuck in the seed germination stage.

Fortunately, as soon as this ridiculous idea came up, she immediately rejected it.

After all, these seeds are grown in space, and the environment in space is very different from the outside world, so they have no reference value at all.

Now she needs to figure out what substance induces the seeds to germinate. Only after she figures it out can she bring it to the outside world.

Not only that, a complete set of unquestionable solutions must be developed from the outside world before the seed germination technology can be used smoothly.

It is even possible that before she figured it out, the country had already developed the germination technology for Gastrodia elata seeds.

As his thoughts turned, Shu Miao quickly suppressed these unrealistic thoughts.

Because she didn't have any seeds left.

To make matters worse, it takes three years from planting hemp seeds to harvesting them, and the flowering time will be even further away.

Even if the Gastrodia elata matures and blooms the following year, it will take at most four years before the powdered seeds can be harvested and the next round of experiments can be conducted.

Now, all she has to do is plant all these hemp seeds and wait for a big harvest in three years!

But right now she has an important thing to verify, which is to check the mushroom nest of another species of Gastrodia elata!

After planning what he had to do, Shu Miao immediately stood up and walked to the mushroom nest that was higher than the field.

According to the location where you remember to place the Gastrodia elata seeds, dig a hole from the edge and dig gently downwards.

As the soil was dug up, some brown roots appeared. Shu Miao was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that these should be mycelium.

Seeing the mycelium growing so vigorously, she suddenly had a premonition.

When a Gastrodia elata that had grown twice as large as before it was planted appeared, Shu Miaorao was mentally prepared, but he couldn't help but be surprised.

The movements of his hands became lighter and lighter. He carefully tore off the mycelium wrapped around the Gastrodia elata until he got the whole Gastrodia elata in his hand.

I subconsciously estimated the size of this Gastrodia elata, which is about five centimeters long and three centimeters wide, an oval, flat strip, like a pebble.

Not to mention, it's just perfect to hold in your hand and play with.

At the same time, a doubt became increasingly apparent.

Judging from the current growth of Gastrodia elata, it is estimated that by next winter, it will definitely grow to more than ten centimeters in size!

She had learned about this variety of Gastrodia elata from Doctor Wang, and knew that any one over ten centimeters in size was considered top quality.

If the Gastrodia elata produced in the space are all of such exaggerated size, does it really take three years to dig them?

Or, could she try to dig some out and sell them next year?

Or should we send it directly to Doctor Wang under the banner of wild Gastrodia elata and ask him to identify its medicinal value?

Whether it will work or not, we’ll know when we give it a try, right?

After figuring out the key factors, Shu Miao carefully buried the Gastrodia elata he was playing with back in his hand.

After remembering this position firmly, cover it with soil and dead leaves again.

Since her guess had been verified, she didn't bother with the mushroom nest any more.

He turned around and went back to the mushroom nest that he had dug into pieces.

Looking at the pile of wood blocks covered with mycelium, Shu Miao wanted to experiment. If she didn't put the wood blocks with mycelium into the pit this time, could the Gastrodia elata seeds grow again relying only on the remaining mycelium in the pit?

But then I thought about how many seeds I only have. If the experiment fails, how many seeds will be wasted?

It makes me sad just thinking about it.

Anyway, there are enough wood pieces with mycelium, so I'd better not bother with it.

At least we have to wait until the seeds are replenished before conducting the experiment.

So he immediately started another experiment.

According to the requirement that one two-square-meter pit can hold about one pound of hemp seeds, he dug four holes with great effort.

Reserve two pits as a control group.

One pit is used to hold a thick piece of wood (15 cm in diameter), and the other pit is used to hold a thin piece of wood as thick as your arm (5 cm in diameter).
