In the study, two people gathered in front of the couch.
Wei Xiyin listened to his story with a calm expression, "So the mountain rats ate those mutated plants and nothing happened?"
"Not only is nothing wrong with them, they're even alive and kicking, full of energy." Gong Liulang drank the tea in his hand and poured himself another cup. "On the way down the mountain, I also dug up some vegetables from the fields and threw them to them to eat."
"The roots and stems of the vegetables have also shown abnormalities and are growing very fast. If the plant mutation simply increases the growth rate, it may be a good thing for us."
Wei Xiyin didn't say anything, but she agreed in her heart.
Productivity was low in ancient times. Even in a bumper year, the yield of wheat per acre was at most about 200 kilograms, and soybeans were less than 200 kilograms. This was when the land was fertile and there were no natural disasters.
Not to mention now, the soil of the newly opened fields on the mountain is insufficient in nutrients, and coupled with abnormal weather, the yield will only be lower.
If plants can grow faster and increase their yields, without even the need for fertilizer or careful soil selection, then even if the food in the granaries is eaten up in the future, people will not have to worry about food and drink.

The research on zombies and the research on plants must be separated because they are two completely different directions.
Chu Yu is already busy enough, so he can continue to be responsible for observing the zombies, while Gong Liulang will be responsible for the plants.
