Chapter 362 The Advantages and Disadvantages of Mutant Fruits

What methods are needed to change the molecular structure of a substance?

"For conventional substances, we need to have a deep understanding of the structural orientation of the molecule and use external force to destroy the structure. Usually, we use a chemical agent that can react with the substances in it. This method is the easiest and relatively stable."

"If you don't know what substances in these substances will react with, you can also use physical intrusion methods. The most common methods used in the past were high-speed rotation separation or high-voltage electrolysis, and of course there are some other methods..."

Lin Ruo looked at the message from the researcher in City B on the terminal and sighed inwardly. She didn't know which drug would react with the substances in the seawater. If she did, she wouldn't have gone to so much trouble.

Some of the supplies were combined in such a way that she didn't even know what they were called, so she naturally had no way of asking the researchers there for instructions.

She also couldn't provide the researchers there with pre-apocalyptic seawater. Wouldn't that be an admission that she had something valuable?

In the end, she was back to square one. She had wanted to concoct some potions herself to solve the problem once and for all, but in reality, she wasn't that professional and couldn't do it.

Lin Ruo could certainly do the physical method mentioned earlier. She had strong mental power and could manipulate spatial domains, so she could accurately reverse those altered molecular structures. However, it was too mentally taxing, which was why she initially abandoned this method – it was too troublesome.

In retrospect, this simplest method was the most effective one for her.

Lin Ruo struggled for several days, trying various methods, but in the end, she chose to use her mental energy to once again penetrate the seawater on the table and carefully compare the different molecular structures.

After confirming again, Lin Ruo breathed a slight sigh of relief. Not all the molecules in the seawater had changed; only the molecular structures of a few substances had changed. Relatively speaking, the difficulty of manipulating them using the spatial domain would be much lower.

After destroying these molecular structures, she can use spatial energy to reshape the molecular structures in these seawaters. Although this may be troublesome and slow, she is not afraid of the trouble as long as it can solve the problem. After all, some lake water can be added to the seawater pool regularly. With the combination of the two, the water volume of the seawater pool will definitely continue to rise.

However, such a meticulous operation is more economical in terms of supernatural power and mental energy when performed in the space. Lin Ruo sank his mental energy into the space and took a large ball of mutated seawater from the new seawater pool.

Manipulating spatial energy to alter the molecular structure of these mutated seawaters—these molecular structures are extremely intricate and require a great deal of mental energy to manipulate.

After processing nearly a ton of mutated seawater, Lin Ruo had exhausted most of his mental energy, and this was all done within the life space.

She shook her slightly dizzy head, and her mental energy once again entered the space. She made a large container with black jade crystal, put the mutated seawater into the container, and then scooped a sea fish from the previous normal seawater pool and put it into the altered seawater.

The fact that the fish did not fall into a coma after entering the water is a good sign for Lin Ruo, but it cannot be completely confirmed yet and will need to be determined after some time.

Lin Ruo placed the container in the life space and then withdrew her spiritual body from the space.

Having used so much mental energy so quickly, Lin Ruo felt a little dizzy, but she felt much better now. She turned around and took out a crystal core from her spatial storage to begin recovering her mental energy.

While Lin Ruo was focused on studying the changes in the seawater inside the fortress, time flew by. In just over a month, the outside world was in an uproar because of the fruit Lin Ruo had given him.

The reason is that the wood-type ability users at the B City base successfully cultivated that mutated plant using the fruit's seeds, and the results were unexpectedly good.

This is a mutated peach tree. Each time a wood-type ability user uses their ability to induce the growth of mutated fruit, each mutated plant can produce hundreds of mutated fruits.

For these wood-type ability users, the amount of ability required to bring these fruits to fruition is much less than the amount of ability required to bring ordinary crops to life.

However, since these are mutated plants, they are prone to mutations during the planting process. Therefore, apart from the seeds produced from the 20 fruits given by Lin Ruo, only 40% of the other fruit seeds can be successfully planted.

Even so, the appearance of these fruits greatly alleviated the food problem at the B City base. After testing the newly planted mutated fruits and finding no problems, the B City base immediately added the fruit pulp to the exchange hall.

The pulp of the mutated fruit is removed, while the seeds are left for secondary planting.

In just over a month, a large orchard has been planted at the B City base. A heavy defense system has been set up around the orchard, and dozens of superhumans take turns guarding it.

This situation naturally attracted the attention of other bases, but no matter how much they requested, the B City base only shared the pulp of this plant, without providing any seeds.

The B City base wasn't being stingy; they also had their own concerns. If too many of these mutated plants were planted, and the ability users couldn't control them, it would definitely cause a backlash. This was one of the reasons why the orchard was so heavily guarded.

These mutant plants are somewhat dangerous; they have their own thoughts, and planting too many could cause a disaster.

Especially for those small bases, after this period of testing, these mutated plants have different personalities, and a large part of them are not very friendly. So far, they have only planted a few hundred of these mutated peach trees.

The advantages and disadvantages of this seed are balanced, and so far the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, they have been researching ways to make these mutated plants obedient, but with little success so far.

Once this method is found, the B City base will definitely add these seeds to the exchange list; they want humanity to become better.

Because of the danger of these seeds, the B City base only made a deal with the C City base. The reason was that they wanted Xu Chenfeng to come up with a solution, since no one could deny his expertise in medicine.

The idea of ​​the B City base was good, but the other bases thought that the B City base was selfish and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to monopolize the seeds and gain more profits. Various opinions followed one after another.

The B City base immediately became the target of public criticism.

At this time, some clever people guessed the origin of this thing. After all, the timeline was too coincidental. Lin Ruo had not been at the B City base for long when this fruit appeared. If you said that this thing had nothing to do with Lin Ruo, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Moreover, there are so many mutated plants on Linruo Mountain Peak, no one knows if there are any such mutated plants here.

So after encountering setbacks at the B City base multiple times, some people gradually turned their attention to Lin Ruo's mountain peak.

They couldn't afford to offend Lin Ruo and his group, but there was still hope that they could sneak into the mountains under the cover of night and steal a few fruits.
