Chapter 131 Shock

Hearing that Luo Qing and her teacher were coming, Yu Mu sped up his farming. However, the little Lingling next to him was extremely serious and planted corn in a methodical manner. She was afraid that her planting was not in accordance with the rules and the corn would not grow. So she dug a hole and went to ask Yu Mu, threw corn kernels into the hole, and after filling the hole with soil, she asked Yu Mu if the soil was correct.

She would only take the next step after Mu's approval, and she was very careful.

Yu Mu couldn't help laughing at her and said, "Your corn will definitely grow."

"Yeah?"

Like a primary school student who had received encouragement, Lingling worked even harder after listening to her words.

Rumble, the airship came over at this time.

Yu Mu looked up and saw that the airship had stopped not far away. Three people came out of it. One was a man in his fifties or sixties, who should be Luo Qing's teacher. Another man was about the same age as Luo Qing, and judging from his face, he should also be a student. Luo Qing was the last one to come down. He was the tallest. After closing the door of the airship, he walked towards Yu Mu with a smile.

"Hello, hello, hello."

Yu Mu hurried over to greet them. She was very respectful to Luo Qing's teachers and classmates.

"Hello, you are Yu Mu, right?"

Li Yao greeted Yu Mu with a smile, his face full of amiability and his eyes full of surprise.

"Hello, teacher, I'm Yu Mu."

Yu Mu saw that Li Yao was as nervous as an honest child seeing his parents, which reminded her of the time when she was with her teacher at school. For a moment, she felt happy. No matter what method was used, as long as she could think of the earth, it was a happy thing!

“Is this where you grow your food?”

With a glance, Li Yao saw the land that Yu Mu had just been cleaning up. There were green plants on the land. The plants were small and attached to the soil. From a distance, they looked like mosses. Next to the land, there was a group of fresh seedlings, and each seedling looked like it had just grown out.

"right!"

Yu Mu nodded.

"Great, can I take a look?"

Li Yao immediately became interested. Can crops be grown in the wasteland?

It is definitely impossible, because over the years, not only the academy, but also scientists from all walks of life in society have been studying this. Once the food problem is solved, other difficulties on Tianlan Star will be alleviated a lot, and the rest will be easy. However, no matter who it is, no one has been able to succeed in the research in the past hundred years.

The wasteland is the wasteland.

It is no longer possible to grow anything. This is the consensus of everyone after research. Many people have stopped studying planting and turned to studying how to remove pollution. They think that as long as the pollution is removed and the smelly soil conditions are improved, then food can naturally be grown.

Unexpectedly, this little girl has made some progress in planting.

Li Yao was very interested and immediately walked to the nearest piece of green moss to look at it. At this time, Lingling was standing there awkwardly with a small shovel in her hand, nervous about the arrival of these strangers.

Yu Mu smiled and said, "This is Professor Li and his students, right? You can call him Grandpa Li, and this is my brother."

She didn't recognize the other man either, so she couldn't help but look at Luo Qing. Luo Qing quickly introduced him, "This is my classmate, and also your student. His name is Zhao Yu, and he's Zhao Xue's brother."

Lingling immediately said cleverly, "Hello, Grandpa Li, hello, brother."

"Yeah, good boy."

Li Yao's eyes were already fixed on the green moss. He smiled at Lingling and squatted down to examine the moss.

Zhao Yu smiled and said to Mu: "Last time, my sister went back and admired you very much. She said that you saved her. If it weren't for you, she would probably be gone now. I want to thank you on my sister's behalf!"

"I don't dare to take responsibility, I should do it."

Yu Mu felt embarrassed by the praise. In her eyes, no matter whether it was Zhao Xue, Luo Qing, or even Zhao Yu now, they were all powerful figures. How could she be admired by them? This should be impossible, right?

"Girl doll."

At this moment, Li Yao picked up a strand of green moss and asked Yu Mu in confusion, "What do you use this green moss for? Why does it look like it has an extremely strong wood attribute, stronger than anything I've ever seen? What's the point of planting it in the wasteland?"

"Teacher, this is used to activate the soil."

Yu Mu immediately began to explain in detail how the wasteland had lost its vitality and was no longer suitable for growing plants, and how green moss could activate the soil. Finally, he said, "Look, the soil here has been activated and can be used to grow plants."

"Is this true?"

After hearing her words, Li Yao became a little excited and couldn't help asking, his voice seemed to tremble.

Waste soil is contaminated soil, which contains a large number of pollutants. These pollutants are of various types, including chemical, biological, radioactive, etc. Because there are too many types and it is difficult to remove them, the soil loses its ability to grow crops. People began to think about purifying the pollutants in the soil before planting things, but the previous purification methods were all elimination methods. After the pollution was purified, the soil became dry and hard like stones, and it could not be restored to its original state even if it was moistened with water.

At this time, Yu Mu was obviously purifying the soil in another way.

And it sounds very useful.

Maybe she can really grow plants out of wasteland!

At this moment, the excited Li Yao couldn't help but cast his eyes on the piece of land with green sprouts.

When he came here just now, he noticed that piece of land, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He thought that those small green sprouts were grown by Yu Mu using energy soil. After all, there were many such plants in the botanical garden of the college, and he was not surprised. When he heard Yu Mu say that those small sprouts were also grown with waste soil, he couldn't help it.

"Let's go there and take a look."

As he spoke, he strode forward and Yu Mu hurriedly followed.

After walking across a ridge, the two came to the peanut seedlings. Li Yao squatted down and looked at the seedlings in front of him. He saw that they were growing well and could faintly smell the fragrance of the soil. Unlike the purified waste soil in the laboratory, the waste soil here had a natural earthy smell.

It smells nice, not like those stinky dirt ones!

"Are these really grown in the wasteland?"

After seeing it clearly, Li Yao asked with some disbelief. In his opinion, the soil here was too much like energy soil, and wasteland could not be what it is now.

"Yes, but the research is still ongoing, and we don't know if these soils can make peanuts bear fruit. If they can bear fruit normally, we can plant them on a large scale."

"Uh-huh."

Li Yao nodded repeatedly, while Zhao Yu, standing beside him, watched with wide eyes. He squatted beside Li Yao, looking at the vibrant peanut seedlings, and asked Yu Mu in disbelief, "You said these were all grown in wasteland? Then why are there no pollutants in the wasteland? How do you purify the wasteland?"
