Chapter 293 New Spiritual Plant, Detailed Explanation of Golden Elixir
Next to the nursing home experimental field.
A group of people squatted by the field, without any bearing of immortal cultivators, staring intently at the small acre of tomato seedlings.
This tomato seems to have just ripened. The fruit is bright red, with water droplets hanging on the skin, shining proudly in the sun.
“It’s so beautiful…”
The old man sighed softly.
Everyone nodded.
Tomatoes are naturally beautiful.
But what makes everyone even more excited is that this is the first spiritual plant created with the help of modern technology!
Its significance does not lie in how precious this spiritual plant is, but in the endless space for imagination it gives them!
"We took the spiritual peas we cultivated before and tried protoplast fusion with various crops - only this tomato also has spiritual energy, and the offspring's traits are the most stable."
Protoplast fusion - in essence, it's just the fusing of two plant cells together.
Then, through screening, breeding and backcrossing, new crops that combine the characteristics of both plants are selected.
This technology is actually relatively mature.
For example, some salt-alkali resistant wheats are cultivated by fusing salt-alkali tolerant plants with wheat protoplasts.
Zheng Fa and his team had previously explored the cell structure of spiritual plants and discovered that the so-called spiritual plants had an additional structure similar to organelles.
Now, their idea of using protoplast fusion technology is to transfer this organelle into another plant cell.
Mr. Hou continued to explain: "Through observation, this tomato also has spiritual organelles similar to those in peas."
The old man frowned.
"So, from the perspective of spiritual plants, these two actually have the same functions?"
Elder Hou shook his head: "We still know too little about spiritual plants. The pea has a strong ability to sustain life, and we can't say whether this tomato is exactly the same."
"But in principle, it should be about the same."
Hearing this, Old Man Bai and the others couldn't help but look a little disappointed.
But Zheng Fa was still excited inside.
For nursing homes, this thing is probably useless.
But for the Nine Mountains Realm, this technology has a very promising future! There are actually quite a few spiritual plants in the Nine Mountains Realm Medicine Garden. In other words, all the thunder spiritual plants that should be in the Xuanwei Realm are in the Nine Mountains Realm Medicine Garden.
However, the types of thunder spiritual plants are relatively single, especially those suitable for low-level cultivators.
For example, there is a severe shortage of spiritual plants that are staple foods.
Firstly, Qianhe Rice lacks spiritual energy, and secondly, thunder magic also causes certain damage. Most low-level disciples cannot eat too much in a day.
The scarcity of this type of creature is actually easy to understand. After all, thunder magic is extremely violent, and even humans need to be very careful when practicing it, let alone plants.
But if this technology is also useful in the Nine Mountains Realm.
There are many ways to cultivate new spiritual plants.
For example, integrating the foreign spiritual valleys with ordinary rice seeds in the Nine Mountains Realm, absorbing the spiritual organelles of the foreign spiritual valleys and the adaptability of the rice in the realm to the Nine Mountains Realm - this was not possible before. For example, yellow sprout rice cannot grow in the Nine Mountains Realm, so even hybridization experiments could not be done.
Even the spiritual plants in the medicine garden can be used for fusion to create various cheap spiritual vegetables.
Even cultivating various economic crops - such as mulberry leaves, various woods for making instruments...
Arguably, this technology may be no more than a small step in modern times.
But it is probably a big step forward for the agricultural development of the Jiushan Realm!
…
"You guys have also produced results?"
Zheng Fa looked at Cheng Yun and asked with some surprise.
"The results..." Cheng Yun touched his head, as if a little embarrassed, "Not as good as the new spiritual plant."
Zheng Fa stood in front of Tang Lingwu's computer, looking at the research results he sent him - "Detailed Explanation of the Shenxiao Golden Elixir".
As he watched, Cheng Yun explained, "Based on the process you gave us, President Zheng, this golden elixir should contain forty-one reactions and generate six main particles."
"Because we are not sure what kind of particles the Divine Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil collected by the Divine Heavenly Golden Pill are, we cannot be sure what these six particles are specifically."
"According to calculations, the order and proportion of these six particles are as follows..."
Zheng Fa looked at the chart in the document and nodded with satisfaction.
After all, they lack the real Tiangang and Disha, so they can only analyze through the text of the exercises. Now they have done their best to achieve this step.
The reason why he wanted to study "Shenxiao Golden Pill" first was, of course, because this thing was his most important reference for forming the pill.
On the other hand, "Shenxiao Golden Pill" itself is the most superior golden pill inheritance of Jiushan Sect. It is relatively perfect and can be regarded as a complete theoretical structure for these people...
"In fact, according to calculations, to produce the same proportion of particles, you don't need so many reactions."
Hmm? Zheng Fa was stunned and looked at Cheng Yun. He saw Cheng Yun click on the screen and a new flow chart appeared behind him: "From the golden elixir process you gave, Dean Zheng, in fact, this is a simple equation problem - how to use two different particles to generate six new particles in proportion."
"As long as we calculate the number of protons and neutrons, we can find that nearly thirty of the forty-one reactions can be replaced by other reactions."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"That is to say, the same particle output can be achieved through twelve reactions."
Zheng Fa was pleasantly surprised as he listened.
Every reaction in "Shenxiao Golden Pill" actually requires a large amount of spiritual power and soul to control.
Reduced from forty-one reactions to twelve - the burden on Dan formation is much less!
Isn’t this thing just a simplified production technology in the production process?
"Of course, without actual verification, twelve is the ideal situation - but forty-one is definitely too many."
As Cheng Yun was talking, he heard Zheng Fa say happily: "Your work is very valuable!"
"Professor Tang, don't be stingy when giving them contribution points..."
Tang Mudao nodded with a smile.
"That..." Cheng Yun said hesitantly, "I..."
"Um?"
"Can I buy some more Jiushan No. 1 from the nursing home? It's out of stock on the market..."
“…”
Zheng Fa, Old Man Bai and Tang Mudao looked at Cheng Yun with pity in their eyes.
"My father..."
“…”
"No, I really have a dad!"
…
"You mean, the Divine Heavenly Golden Pill can be simplified?"
In the Nine Mountains Realm, the old man was flipping through the "Detailed Explanation of the Divine Heavenly Golden Elixir" copied and translated by Zheng Fa, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
"It's just an idea that needs to be verified. The Golden Elixir Project needs to be advanced as soon as possible."
"Of the forty-one methods, only twelve are needed?"
The old man's tone was still full of disbelief, but when he looked at the "Detailed Explanation of the Divine Xiao Golden Pill", he felt that it was vaguely consistent with his own experience when he was forming the pill.
"It may be a little more." Zheng Fa was still very conservative, "but generally speaking, it should be less than forty-one."
“…”
The old man put down the jade tube in his hand and looked at Zheng Fa with a resentful expression.
"Master?"
"I wasted a hundred years trying to form a pill...what does that mean?"
