Chapter 305: Inducing

Birth Yun Shuhuai said, "Of course it's possible, but is there any unused vacant land? This location doesn't seem to be suitable."

There were wheat fields all around, and Yun Shuhuai was going to demonstrate in a while, so he couldn't destroy the wheat.

"Yes, please follow me." Gu Zhucheng led everyone to a small experimental field, which was set aside for experimental cultivation. There was no experiment to be done now, so it was just convenient for Yun Shuhuai to use.

After arriving at the place, Yun Shuhuai first checked the situation of the plot, and then said, "Please stand a little further away, Xiaoxu, it's your turn."

"Okay!"

Ye Zixu put the potted plant on the ground, and then used dodder to circle a fence to separate everyone from the outside.

He walked forward and casually broke off a branch from the small orange tree, which made everyone feel painful.

Ye Zixu took the branch with the orange still hanging on it, and then began to release energy into it. Everyone saw that roots quickly grew out from the bottom of the branch.

When the roots were almost grown, Ye Zixu placed the branch directly in the middle of the fence and continued to stimulate growth.

The roots seemed to be alive, inserting themselves into the ground and spreading underground, and then the branch stood up and grew slowly.

Everyone held their breath and watched the growth of the small branch carefully.

Ye Zixu stimulated growth very slowly, unlike the usual way of letting the plant grow wildly.

Because this is a fruit tree, the essence is to make it bear edible fruits, so it needs to be stimulated carefully.

Fruits need a lot of nutrients. If they are allowed to grow excessively, there will not be enough nutrients to make them bloom and bear fruit.

Moreover, in the end times, the fundamental reason for the mutation of crops needed by humans is land pollution.

Since the red particles that cause the end of the world can cause animals and plants to mutate, they will naturally remain in the soil, air and water systems.

After the end of the world, the ecology of the whole world has changed.

Yun Shuhuai called the red particles doomsday particles.

This is also the reason for the mutation of crops, because the composition of the soil has changed, and those doomsday particles also exist in the irrigation water, which will accelerate the mutation of crops.

In fact, many plants will be affected by doomsday particles, but like humans, only a small number of them will mutate, and many plants will still grow normally as before.

But Yun Shuhuai found that the newest plants were more likely to mutate, especially those domesticated by humans. This

was because these plants did not grow in the form commonly seen by humans in nature. Humans domesticated them for taste and flavor so that they could be eaten as food.

If not managed for a long time, these crops would become wild and suitable for natural growth.

And those plants that seem to be normal growing in the wild might have changed in some way. Those plants had never been tried by humans before, or they had been tried but found to be unsuitable for human consumption, so they were abandoned.

Yun Shuhuai suddenly had an idea.

If these crops gradually became inedible after the end of the world, would there be things that were originally inedible that became edible? !

Yun Shuhuai took a deep breath. She had never thought of this idea before. Even before the apocalypse, no one had proposed it because everyone preconceived that the edible things were still the ones that were commonly eaten before the apocalypse. Even if the taste of those crops became very bad, the base would work hard to cultivate the results that were edible.

Yun Shuhuai did not think that these mutations were all bad. Even if this world was dangerous, humans and animals could mutate to survive in this world.

But humans could not always survive on the remaining food in the world before the apocalypse. As time went by, there would always be a day when it would be eaten up or spoiled. What would we do then? We couldn't starve to death.

Eating those crops that tasted terrible would definitely shorten our lifespan.

Yun Shuhuai guessed that since the ecology has changed, there must be new things that are suitable for the survival of psychics.

How can we discover them? Yun Shuhuai was eager to try, and she suddenly felt that this world was not so boring.

Next time she goes out, she can observe carefully.

But now they still have to complete the tasks assigned to them by the base and earn the crystal cores first.

Ye Zixu continued to promote the growth of the small orange tree, and now it has grown to the same size as the original potted plant.

Because there are many doomsday particles in the soil, Ye Zixu needs to reduce the absorption of doomsday particles as much as possible when promoting the growth of plants. This is something that only high-level wood-type psychics can do.

The soil in Yun Shuhuai's flowerpot was dug from space. There were very few doomsday particles in it, all of which were contaminated from the air,

so it was relatively easy to stimulate growth. Now that the plants are planted directly in the soil, Ye Zixu needs to concentrate very much, otherwise the oranges that grow out will not taste good.

Growing the fruit tree to this size has already covered his forehead with a thin layer of sweat, and Ye Ziwan thoughtfully took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him.

This is more tiring than stimulating the growth of a large wisteria.

Seeing that it was almost grown, Ye Zixu leaned back and sat on the chair he made with dodder.

"Is that... all?" Gu Zhucheng asked in confusion. It's too small.

He looked at the many tender yellow dodders crawling around him and felt that the kid was acting. They were all plants that were induced to grow, but the difference was too great.

Ye Zixu took a sip of water from his water cup and said, "It's very tiring because the land is polluted. If you want it to grow well, you have to absorb less pollutants."

"Pollutants? What do you mean?" General Lu asked.

Yun Shuhuai said, "Let me explain. After the end of the world, the whole world can be said to be polluted, and the soil is naturally polluted as well. This is also the reason why crops mutate and their taste deteriorates. Xiaoxu can identify pollutants and allow plants to eliminate pollutants so that they can grow closer to their original state. The same is true for inducing seeds to grow in advance."

Gu Zhucheng suddenly realized, "So that's why, no wonder those crops taste so bad."

Ye Zixu also nodded, "That's right, if I let it grow without caring about anything, I can make it grow taller than a house in an instant!"

"Yes, because wood-type mutants manipulate plants mostly for defense and combat, and don't consider other functions at all. It takes a lot of energy to make plants bloom and bear fruit, and it takes a lot of energy to produce edible fruit."

Yun Shuhuai smiled, "This is how we grow fruit."

Gu Zhucheng smiled bitterly, "Hiss, even though you've told us, I still think it's very difficult, and there's a long way to go."

"Of course, because the whole world is polluted, it must be difficult to cultivate crops that taste good, but you know the reason, don't you? There will always be a way. Xiaoxu just gave birth to this potted plant completely according to the standards. If he wasn't so careful, the things that grew would still be edible, but the taste wouldn't be so good."
