94. New Strong Fragrance
The rose plant in the pot is only four or five centimeters tall and is still in the bud stage.
After spraying the ripening agent, it's like a movie camera pressing the fast-forward button. The tender branches quickly stretch and grow, and the weak leaves also enlarge in a short period of time, blooming together with the flower buds.
In less than an hour, the rose was more than one meter tall, with lush and dense leaves, and the tiny buds were also working hard to absorb nutrients and bloom as quickly as possible.
Daniel stared at the rose, swallowing nervously.
Su Liu was also watching, but he was much calmer than Daniel.
Even if we fail this time, we can learn from the lessons and continue researching.
Another half an hour later, all the buds were in full bloom, and at the same time, a fragrance that Daniel had never smelled before filled the glass greenhouse.
He twitched his nose, sniffing greedily for a long time, and asked Su Liu in an uncertain tone: "Is this a fragrance?"
Su Liu was very curious about what the scent of roses would be like to someone who had never smelled the scent of roses.
"Do you think this smells good?"
Daniel didn't know how to describe it. It seemed as if his brain couldn't process this special, unprecedented "fragrance", so for a moment he could only instinctively seek the scent in the air.
"It's rich, or rather, sticky." He closed his eyes and took in the scent with his whole being. "Is it a sweet aroma? Or warm and rich? It's like a captivating, peerless beauty dancing gracefully, leaving one with an unforgettable memory."
Su Liu: “…” It’s so abstract, I don’t understand.
After more than half an hour, the rose withered, the plant died, and the unique and refreshing fragrance gradually dissipated.
Daniel was still not satisfied, and his heart was even more excited.
He did it.
Together with Su Liu, they improved and cultivated the Jamil rose within a few days and developed a new fragrant variety.
This is a groundbreaking feat for the entire academic community.
For this reason, Daniel looked at Su Liu with anticipation, hoping that Su Liu would sign his name in the subsequent papers, so that he and the Jamil Rose would live forever.
However, Su Liu could not understand Daniel's burning expectation, and therefore ignored his earnest and excited eyes.
"The rose scent in the air is already fading. Logically, the scent of a rose shouldn't last this long." She pondered for a moment, then muttered to herself, "But this is a plant, not perfume. There's no need to be so picky, right?"
She really liked the scent of the Jamil rose, which was very similar to the strong-scented roses of Earth's time. However, in terms of fragrance texture and persistence, it still couldn't compare to the original natural rose family members.
This month's KPI has been completed, and Su Liu returned to the office to write a work log.
"After mass cultivation of the Jamil rose, it might be used as a perfume ingredient. It could also be used as a food ingredient, provided pesticides are controlled. Write a detailed report and submit it to the association. The chairman will handle the rest."
She didn't mention the thesis at all, which made Daniel's heart, which had been shining with joy, gradually cool to the bottom.
Could it be that you are not even willing to sign a small name at the end of the paper?
But, he clearly put in all his energy, so wasn't it even of some use?
Daniel's eyes were moist, but he also understood that in this research, Su Liu was the one who took the lead and could take all the credit.
He was lucky that she was willing to give him a little sweetness.
Even if he didn't want to, he couldn't even show the slightest dissatisfaction.
But, how unwilling I am.
Daniel walked out in a daze, and his colleagues came to greet him, asking him questions in a flurry.
"I just smelled a particularly strong scent. Should I say fragrance? But I've never smelled that kind of fragrance before. What on earth did you do in that glass greenhouse?"
"I just found out that the plant in the pot has died. Did you really cultivate a fragrant Jamil rose?"
"It's only been a few days. You can't possibly have accomplished something like this, right? Tell us quickly, what's going on?"
…
Facing the anxious faces, Daniel wiped away his tears, smiled bitterly and said, "The roses really don't stink anymore."
All the planters showed expressions of astonishment.
Daniel added, “The fragrance you smell is the aroma of the rose of Jamil.”
"hiss……"
Everyone took a deep breath and exclaimed in surprise one after another.
After their surprise wore off, they immediately started asking more questions, eager to know more.
Daniel was in no mood to reply, his heart consumed by the sorrow of not being able to sign his name.
But, on second thought, is it really that important whether one can leave a lasting legacy?
In a corner that no one cares about, he should be satisfied that he has made a small contribution to the development of new varieties.
Daniel tried hard to appear less lost. He was about to leave his colleagues and go write a report when Su Liu suddenly opened the door and stuck his head out.
"By the way, when you have time, why not write the paper together? If you want to sign it, just write your own name. It doesn't matter if my name is included or not."
When Daniel heard this, his mind buzzed and he could hardly believe his ears.
What did she say?
He came to write the paper?
Sign his name?
What kind of international joke is she playing?
But before he could ask more questions, Su Liu slammed the door and went on to look for his next target.
Daniel spent a long time calming himself down, and the passion in his blood that had been frozen for so long finally began to boil again.
Soon, the entire Purifier Association knew that the fragrant Jamil Rose was "born".
Among the more than ten kinds of roses in the interstellar world today, only two or three have fragrance. The others are either odorless or have a slightly foul smell like Jamil.
Scented roses are far less gorgeous than jasmine roses in terms of shape and color, but their unique fragrance makes them popular among the public.
Among all ornamental flowers, fragrant roses are considered expensive, but are in short supply.
The association's purifiers could not imagine how enthusiastically the fragrance-filled, stunning Jamil rose would be sought after by flower lovers across the galaxy.
Before leaving get off work in the evening, Su Liu was called by Shu Delai.
On Shudelai's table was the potted plant that Daniel had sent earlier, which contained newly ripened Jamil roses.
The unique, refreshing floral fragrance permeated the entire room and could even be smelled in the corridors. A large group of staff, purifiers, plant growers, and others all found excuses to come and experience its beauty.
Shudelai gently touched the petals of the Jamil rose, and the velvety soft texture was incomparable to any other rose.
"Daniel said, you asked him to write the paper? Are you planning to plagiarize it after he finishes it?"
"Your thoughts are too vicious, Chairman," Su Liu said. "I'm just too lazy to write. Anyway, he's involved and has made considerable contributions, so let him do it."
Shudelai didn't comment on her decision, but simply said, "Compared to a Purifier like you, this may indeed be Daniel's only chance to excel. But Suliu, don't let yourself become a pushover."
