Chapter 36 Chapter 36 A pure human in Xisha District, find her...
When the first drizzle fell, it evaporated into water vapor the moment it touched the yellow sand.
But soon after, the rain began to gradually increase. The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, as if a hole was torn open, and heavy rain poured down.
Dense raindrops continued to fall, sweeping away the original stuffiness in the air, the temperature dropped rapidly, and the Xisha area was shrouded in mist.
When Ye Ning suddenly felt the raindrops, she hadn't reacted yet.
But the raindrops fell on her protective suit, and the next second, they left several gray marks.
Mu Yan immediately opened his umbrella and held it over her, "It's raining."
Ye Ning looked at the gray marks on her body and tried to wipe them with her hands, and they were quickly wiped clean.
Mu Yan: "This is the dust and particulate matter in the air."
Ye Ning nodded. There is no vegetation on the Sea Dust Planet, and even the atmosphere is a turbid yellow-gray color. If the rain can bring down the dust particles, the air should be much cleaner.
She called up the Dust Star model in the system and took a look. At this time, in the area where the Xisha District was located, thick clouds were rolling, colliding, and interweaving like waves, and there were terrifying scenes of lightning and thunder everywhere.
Ye Ning quickly quickened her movements.
Seeing her pouring the nutrient solution, Mu Yan couldn't help but say, "It's been so long, and it seems like nothing has changed."
Ye Ning nodded. Mu Yan's observation skills were still very good.
Three days have passed, and the Welwitschia still looks like it has just sprouted. The originally curled cotyledons show no signs of opening, and the edges of the leaves are even slightly yellow.
But she hadn't used any of her powers or the Green Singing Stone. The fact that it hadn't died in this environment was already quite impressive. She wouldn't use her powers unless it was absolutely necessary.
She also thought about it yesterday, what are the system's criteria for judging successful planting.
After discussing with Little Mushroom, I found that the standard should be whether those plants have the ability to continue to grow on their own.
If it has the ability to grow on its own, it is considered a successful planting.
But the Welwitschia's current situation is not optimistic. It is only relying on various auxiliary measures and means to barely survive outdoors. After a few days, there is no sign of growth in the roots.
Therefore, if the system announces that she has completed the mission, it means that Welwitschia has the ability to survive outside.
The rain pounded fiercely on the umbrella and the planter box, making a crackling sound. The raindrops that fell on the sand nearby also made a dense array of small pits.
"Okay, okay, let's go back." Ye Ning quickly stood up and motioned Mu Yan to go back.
Mu Yan picked her up and was about to go back when he glanced hesitantly at the planter box. "Shouldn't we take this plant back first?"
"Although the temperature difference will be smaller during the rainy season, the constant rain also means that sunlight will become extremely scarce."
Furthermore, the air outside can become very humid, and this type of planting box does not have any system for regulating humidity.
This plant has been outside for three days, which is enough to prove how strong its vitality is. It would be a pity if it died outside like this.
Ye Ning shook her head. "With the planter box, it should be fine for now."
Marine cultivation indoors.
Compared to the violent storms and sandstorms outside, it is peaceful and tranquil in here.
After 24 hours, the giant kelp, which had grown to 100 centimeters, was floating on the water like a green ribbon, swaying its leaves.
Its leaves appear broad and thick, with a very tough and elastic texture. The thick stems connect the broad leaves in series, almost occupying the entire water tank.
When Ye Ning and Mu Yan entered, they saw more than a dozen researchers, almost all of whom were there.
Researchers who were originally busy with other things immediately put down their work and came here to see the beauty of marine plants after learning about the magnificent growth of giant kelp.
Even Hou Sen, who had been extremely busy recently, took time out to rush back. He was also shocked to see such a thriving giant kelp.
When Ye Ning saw Hou Sen, she immediately ran over happily, "Teacher!"
Hou Sen hadn't seen her for a few days, and his expression, which had softened, had hardened again. But when he saw her, he softened again.
He couldn't help but reach out and wanted to rub Ye Ning's head, but just as he raised his hand, he felt that this was not respectful enough to her, so he patted Ye Ning's back gently instead, "The marine plants you planted are growing very fast."
Ye Ning nodded. "Giant kelp grows very fast. Plus, the environment here is good and there are a lot of green stones, so it grew up very quickly."
"Is this really the size a plant can grow to in one night?" A researcher used tools to measure and measure again, and was really amazed at its size. It was only one day.
"I recorded the whole process on video. You can watch it later." The researcher who had been staying here said excitedly, "I've been observing it since yesterday. It really is growing that fast! Even though Master Ye Ning isn't here, it's still growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!"
"If you want to harvest the same volume of terrestrial plants, it will take at least 3-5 days." Another researcher said after quickly obtaining comparative data.
"The data says that mature giant kelp can grow to nearly a hundred meters long, dozens of meters tall, and weigh hundreds of kilograms," the person said, his voice trembling. "If we plant it, wouldn't we be able to harvest a lot of plants very quickly?"
"Yeah! In comparison, the growth rate of land plants is too slow!"
This water tank is quite large, but after just one night, it was clearly full. If it were planted for a while longer, I'm afraid it would grow hundreds of kilograms!
Plants, hundreds of kilograms?! He actually connected these two things in his mind one day!
Speaking of growth rate, Ye Ning thought of what she was going to talk to the researchers about today.
She tugged at Hou Sen's sleeve and said, "Teacher, I've been reading these past few days and found that among land plants, bamboo also grows very fast."
"Under suitable conditions and environments, bamboo can grow 150 to 200 centimeters overnight. This is the speed of natural growth. If it is grown in a laboratory, it should be even faster."
150cm-200cm in one night?!
But bamboo is—
Researchers immediately started searching.
The information about bamboo was quickly projected onto the screen in front of everyone.
Bamboo is a perennial evergreen herb that prefers warmth and humidity. It grows very quickly during the rainy season and has strong adaptability to soil. Under suitable conditions, it can quickly form a forest...
She didn't know if there were any panda orcs, as pandas loved eating bamboo. She had only seen pictures of pandas, and wondered if panda orcs would be as cute when they transformed back into their animal form.
Ye Ning was thinking about the cute giant pandas. The researchers looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the information, and there was silence.
Narrow-minded, they are too narrow-minded.
They had never thought of asking Lord Ye Ning to grow such a fast-growing plant!
But we can’t really blame them.
The disappearance of plants began with the large plants, first the trees, then the medium-sized shrubs and herbs that lost the protection of the large trees, and then the small herbs and mosses that seemed insignificant but were extremely tenacious.
Although bamboo grows fast, as a large herb, it is the first to disappear.
After thinking about the cute giant panda, Ye Ning continued to say to Hou Sen: "Teacher, I heard that Gaojiang District has already grown S-level plants."
Hou Sen nodded quickly, "The seeds you produced are very good. Even if their talent is average, they can be planted easily."
The Internet is now flooded with news about this incident. If his communication had not been shut down, he would have been bombarded by those people.
Everyone was wondering what new technology they had developed to grow S-level plants. Little did they know that all this was thanks to Ye Ning.
"Have those synthetic seeds been grown?" This was the question that Ye Ning was quite curious about.
She really wanted to know what the difference was between the seeds they synthesized and the seeds given by the system, given that they had the same genes.
Hou Sen shook his head. "Those haven't sprouted yet, but they look good. If they do, they should be better than before."
It seems that I still have to use the system seed.
Ye Ning laughed, "Didn't you say that the planting area over there is very large? Why not send some marine plants over there as well?"
Marine plants grow quickly and absorb pollution at a faster rate. Her planting room is still a little small.
"Can these marine plants also be sent to Gaojiang District?!" a researcher asked excitedly.
Even if they could reach one-tenth of Ye Ning's plant cultivation speed, that would still be a terrifying speed!
Ye Ning nodded, "Of course, we are all from Gaojiang District, and I also hope that Gaojiang District will get better and better."
After they came here, except for Hou Sen and Hou Lin, the others never went out. She also heard that they were not allowed to contact their families or other people.
I don’t know how long this lockdown will last, but there must be many reasons why everyone is willing to stay here.
It may be for research, for themselves, or for their families. But no matter what the reason, they have invested a lot of time and energy here.
If they can make Gaojiang District better and better, they will be more motivated.
"Actually, if you have extra seeds, you can sell some to others."
"They may not be able to make the plants produce seeds, but if we want to continue selling them later, it should be possible."
Ye Ning has never seen other pure humans so far, and she has no idea to what extent others can grow.
If they can get the plants to bloom and produce seeds, that would be great, but if not, it would be nice if they could help her plant more plants.
Hou Sen's expression softened. "Many plant therapists have already contacted Gaojiang District. We will gradually release the seeds and information."
A tall tree attracts the wind, and they are also on guard against the rebels attacking the pure humans in Gaojiang District.
The pure humans in Gaojiang District were able to grow it because of Ye Ning's seeds. Even if others obtained the genetic data, they might not be able to grow it. Even if they did, the speed and quality of the growth could not compare to Ye Ning's.
Moreover, the amount of pollutants is constantly increasing, and growing plants is a matter of great importance to the lives of orcs around the world.
They are already far ahead in this field, so there is no need to hide it and put themselves in danger.
*
No one expected that on the third day, after everyone had been frantically speculating and trying to find out information day and night, there was still no result.
Gaojiang District actually released ten detailed seed gene sequences on its official website at once!
@高江区:
"The gene sequence released this time is the highest-quality S-grade seed gene discovered by the Gaojiang District research team after long-term, meticulous, and in-depth research. This gene sequence can significantly improve the growth rate and quality of this type of plant. Gaojiang District firmly believes that the release of these gene sequences will make a positive contribution to increasing global plant yields, cultivating high-quality plants, and saving the orcs..."
@CaribbeanSeaBelt: Am I dreaming?! Gaojiang District just published the seed genes they researched?!
@怪鸟哪飞: Damn, is there any expert who can confirm whether these posted by Gaojiang District are true?
@千毛猫虫: It's true, I'm also a researcher. The seeds that everyone uses now are mostly produced in Gaojiang District, but their seeds have not been updated for decades.
The fact that the plant therapists in Gaojiang District were able to grow S-rank plants is likely due to these seeds. However, after spending so much time and energy researching the genetic sequence, Gaojiang District unexpectedly just released it. This must be the result of countless years of hard work. I have mixed feelings right now.
@脑小随我爸爸: I'm so sad! They actually chose to release something so confidential, something they could have made a lot of money on. I declare that I will never cyberbully monkeys again. They truly share the same ancestors as pure humans: orcs with brilliant brains!
…
Gaojiang District then posted the seed purchase link at the top of the page.
The online discussion was in full swing, and Gaojiang District, which was originally at the center of the storm, once again reversed its reputation and was given an image of selflessness, greatness and glory.
The communications in Gaojiang District, which were about to be blown up, finally quieted down.
Research institutes in various districts, including Dongxing District, also quickly used the data to conduct research at the first opportunity.
The more they studied, the more shocked and amazed they were. The gene sequence determines key traits of seeds, such as growth rate and stress resistance. The newly researched gene sequence in Gaojiang District has extremely significant optimization in all key traits.
It can be said that this is a comprehensive upgrade based on the original foundation. They can even think that this is an achievement that can bring about revolutionary changes in plant cultivation!
The seeds Ye Ning gave were also privately distributed to some plant therapists in Gaojiang District...

After heavy rain fell for several days in a row, the air became humid.
But as long as they stay at home, they won't feel any impact.
The Welwitschia plant was still in a half-dead state. Everyone speculated every day when it would die, but it persisted day by day.
The researchers also came up with some solutions for Ye Ning, but they were of little use.
However, there has been a significant breakthrough in bamboo cultivation.
After careful analysis and research, they finally synthesized the seeds of bamboo.
Bamboo also has seeds, which are called bamboo rice, and are produced after the bamboo blooms. However, bamboo only blooms once in its lifetime, so flowering means the end of its life.
The most common bamboo shoots are the young shoots of bamboo. The underground stems of bamboo grow horizontally in the soil and produce buds on them. These buds are the prototypes of bamboo shoots.
However, Ye Ning was a little curious about whether bamboo shoots had a greater purifying effect or bamboo had a greater purifying effect.
After all, the shapes of the two are very different, and the main part of the bamboo cannot be eaten.
It’s not that they can’t eat it, pandas love to eat it.
Ye Ning easily made the bamboo rice sprout and buried it in the soil.
After planting, Ye Ning happily went to see her strawberries.
Because today, her strawberries are perfectly ripe and ready to eat!
Bright red strawberries lay neatly scattered across the fields, their vibrant beauty against the backdrop of surrounding green foliage. The fully ripe strawberries, in particular, had an alluring sheen. If you got closer, you could even smell their captivating sweet aroma.
It’s really sweet, so sweet that it makes people dizzy.
Ye Ning stood nearby and couldn't help but want to smell it.
She is like this, let alone other orcs whose sense of smell is dozens or hundreds of times more sensitive than hers.
The sweet aroma constantly stimulated them. A few days ago, when the flowers were still green, researchers had to cover their noses when passing by, fearing they would rush in and take a bite.
Feng Qi was also sniffing the strawberries beside him, "Sister, these strawberries smell really good!"
“It tastes delicious, too.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Qi couldn't help swallowing, "Will it taste better than watermelon?"
She could never forget the watermelon she had eaten last time.
Ye Ning harvested another one and shared it with everyone. Feng Qi thought it was very delicious, but he didn't dare to eat more.
Ye Ning squatted down, picked a big, red one, and handed it to Feng Qi's mouth, "Try it."
As the sweet smell approached, Feng Qi's mouth watered even more. She quickly shook her head and pushed Ye Ning's hand back, "Sister, you eat first. Don't give it to me first."
She is the older sister, and not only does she eat the fruits grown by her younger sister, but her younger sister always lets her eat them first. Feng Qi feels so guilty just thinking about it.
Ye Ning bent down again and picked another big red strawberry, "Let's eat it together."
"There's still a lot here. And I like you, so I want to share it with you. Seeing you enjoy eating it makes me happy too."
Feng Qi looked at Ye Ning with sparkling eyes and hugged her, "Sister, I like you too!"
Ye Ning took the opportunity to pass the strawberry to her mouth and took a light bite of the tip of the strawberry.
The unique sweet aroma of strawberries instantly filled their nostrils. Strawberry juice also filled their mouths, the fresh and sweet fruity aroma with a slight sourness, just the right balance for their taste buds.
Feng Qi's eyes lit up again and again. She held the big strawberry in both hands and ate it very seriously, one bite after another.
The sweet scent floats in the air, stimulating the saliva of people around.
The two of them slowly finished eating a big strawberry.
Feng Qi finished her meal, still wanting more. When Ye Ning wanted to give her another one, Feng Qi seriously refused.
She rubbed her cheek against Ye Ning and said, "Sister, it's good enough for me to eat one by myself."
In such a rainy season, being able to eat sweet strawberries in a cool room really makes people feel happy!
Ye Ning knew Feng Qi was a very responsible child, so she would feel that since she hadn't killed any pollutants, she shouldn't eat such a precious plant fruit. If she were asked to eat it again, she might eat it, but she would definitely feel guilty.
Or maybe it’s because there are too few plants grown.
Ye Ning didn't give it to her anymore. After taking some of the rest, Ye Ning distributed it to everyone.
This time, the researchers were still reluctant to eat more, so they divided a strawberry into ten small pieces and each of them tasted it.
After hearing Ye Ning say that the grains on the surface of the strawberry were seeds, they carefully removed the seeds one by one before eating them.
"This strawberry tastes even better than it smells."
"That's right, if this were made into a nutrient solution flavor, it would definitely be a big hit."
"Yes, yes. Many children don't like the mint flavor. If you change it to strawberry, they will definitely accept it."

In the deep sea.
Yaerlin brought the first batch of planted marine plants and rushed back to the underwater palace as quickly as possible.
When he arrived, several ministers were discussing important matters. When they heard him say he had brought several boxes of marine plants, they all found it a little surprising.
Although they had used threats and inducements to force the Xisha area to speed up the progress of marine plants a few days ago, they had never thought it would be so fast.
Yaerlin's brows were filled with smiles. "Gaojiang District said that marine plants grow very fast. They will build more planting rooms specifically for growing marine plants in the future."
This is definitely great news for them.
They hadn't seen marine plants for many years, and now not only have they been planted, they have also promised to plant more!
When Yalin placed several one-meter-long giant kelp, kelp, seaweed, and even ava algae in front of everyone, everyone was shocked and stunned.
"Is this what was grown from the seeds that were sent over?" The elderly minister even reached out and touched it, and a refreshing feeling unique to marine plants instantly penetrated into his body.
He quickly took a few steps back and asked Yarlin to close the lid.
"Yes! Yes! I feel it, this is the ocean plant!"
This was not the feeling he had at all when he came into contact with land plants!
That smooth, rich feel, that cleansing effect with the fresh scent of the ocean...
He said with tears in his eyes, "Quick, quick, send these plants to His Majesty immediately!"
"yes."
When the plants were brought to Xilos, a hint of surprise appeared on his usually casual and indifferent expression.
"Your Majesty, please try it."
The ministers looked at him with worry and expectation.
Silos nodded slightly.
Everyone quickly moved the new equipment from Gaojiang District over.
Countless S-level source stones and green singing stones were thrown into it, and those huge kelp leaves were also placed in it.
Soon, the plants were decomposed, and a steady stream of plant elements entered Xilos' body.
Almost instantly, he felt his body being slowly purified.
The powerful force that was originally tearing and devouring him crazily seemed to have encountered its strongest opponent, and it quickly threw away its weapons and retreated step by step.
The ministers did not dare to make any sound and all watched Xilos's situation quietly.
Silos didn't open his eyes until all the boxes of plants that were delivered were used up.
The ministers hurried forward and asked, "Your Majesty, how do you feel?"
It looks like it should be much better now!
Even after using so many marine plants, the pollution in his body was still not completely purified.
Xiluos slowly raised his head, his dark blue hair drifting behind him. His star-like blue eyes finally regained a hint of luster. "Pure humans in the Xisha area, find her."
