Chapter 129

Su Ci took A Yan on the floating bus to the nursery, accompanied by Cen Liang and Zhuang Shisong.

As for Wei Ming, he stayed at the nursery. Cen Liang originally wanted to keep Zhuang Shisong, but after all, the mutant garlic was cultivated in his laboratory.

He had reasons to follow.

Now, no one dared to ignore Su Ci's opinion on plants. Although Wei Ming wanted to follow, the green plants in the nursery were equally important, so he had to stay reluctantly.

At this time, in the floating bus, Cen Liang also took the time to ask Su Ci. He had studied the green plants and soil in the nursery in the past two days, and also took samples from other land in the base for analysis. The results made him full of doubts.

Taking advantage of the time he finally had alone with Su Ci, he quickly asked.

"Keeper Su, I didn't detect any pollutants in the soil of the nursery. Are you clear about this?"

And not only the soil, but also the pollutant content in the air is lower than other places in the base, even close to zero!

This is the result of his preliminary test today when he simply moved the equipment to the nursery. Although more measurements are needed, this data already has a certain reference value.

This can also explain why the green plants in the nursery are so easy to survive.

After all, it is the pollutants in the soil that have always troubled plant cultivation. Once this core problem is solved, other problems will not be a problem.

What's more, there are two mutant green plants in the nursery that can promote the growth of green plants.

So now the only question is -

in addition to promoting plant growth, do these two mutant green plants also have the function of purifying pollutants in the soil?

Is it these two mutant green plants that purify the soil, or is it other unknown reasons that lead to the purification of the soil and promote the appearance of these two mutant green plants?

This still needs time to explore, but if Su Ci is willing to provide him with more clues, it will undoubtedly save a lot of time.

Facing Cen Liang's question, Su Ci glanced at him and nodded slightly.

Cen Liang was delighted and quickly asked: "Then..."

"Those two small pear trees do not have the ability to purify pollutants." Knowing what he wanted to ask, Su Ci gave a direct answer.

As for how the land of the nursery was completely purified, it was too difficult to explain. Moreover, even if it was explained, they might not be able to understand it in this Dharma Ending Age that advocates science.

Therefore, Su Ci simply kept silent.

And Cen Liang also saw his attitude,

so he was very tactful and did not ask to the end. Although what Su Ci just revealed to him made Cen Liang a little disappointed, his intuition told him that Su Ci did not lie, and the two mutant pear tree seedlings should really not have the ability to purify.

Cen Liang looked at the young man in front of him who exuded a lazy aura, and couldn't help wondering in his heart, does this young man have rare plant blood?

In addition to the beast warriors with ferocious blood, there are also some people in the interstellar space who have the ability to transform into plants. Of course, these people are even rarer than the beast warriors. Once they appear, they will be protected by all countries as if they were treasures.

Because these people are born with the ability to communicate with plants, they may not be able to play a big role on the battlefield, but in the field of agriculture, they are definitely geniuses of the king bomb level.

The interstellar population is expanding day by day, and the countries can solve the problem of feeding such a large population. These geniuses with the ability to communicate with plants have made great contributions.

An ordinary agronomist may need several years to study the characteristics of a new plant, and more than ten years of breeding to obtain improved varieties, but these geniuses can see the characteristics of plants at a glance, greatly shortening the breeding time.

And Su Ci is very likely to be of such bloodline!

After all, he is the first discoverer of mutant garlic, and gave hints when Zhuang Shisong and his team were on the wrong research direction. Now, in such a short time, he has created such a miracle on the land of the nursery...

No matter how you think about it, he fits the bill!

Moreover, it is said that the owners of plant bloodline are all gentle and have a special attraction to the blood warriors, especially the herbivorous blood warriors.

In this way, the closeness and obedience of the cubs to him can be explained.

As he continued to think and verify, Cen Liang became more and more certain of his guess. Although he didn't know why Su Ci, who possessed such a rare plant bloodline, came to Hell Star as a breeder, but... that was not important!

Cen Liang looked at Su Ci with a fiery gaze, and couldn't help asking, "Then breeder Su, what do you think of that mutant garlic? Why did it fall into a deep sleep for no reason?"

Zhuang Shisong couldn't help but prick up his ears.

He felt that Boss Cen's question was a bit dangerous for breeder Su. After all, breeder Su did not go to the cultivation garden to check after the mutant garlic incident.

Without checking the situation in detail, can you really make sense of it just by saying so?

Zhuang Shisong remained skeptical, but thinking of the green land planted by the other party and the two mutant pear saplings in excellent condition, he couldn't help but feel hopeful.

And Su Ci didn't let him down.

He said directly: "Plants fall into a deep sleep, especially spiritual... mutant plants, generally there is only one situation that can explain it."

Spiritual plants are very delicate plants. Once the growth conditions are not suitable, they will quickly wither and die. They are not as stubborn as those ordinary plants - of course there are always exceptions, and what he is talking about now is the general situation.

Therefore, when a spiritual plant gathers its vitality and falls into a dormant state, it usually means that this spiritual plant...

"It is advancing." Su Ci said.

Cen Liang and Zhuang Shisong said in unison: "Advanced?"

"Yes." Su Ci paused, and then said, "To use a more understandable word - it is evolving for the second time."

The two who already understood the concept of advancement suddenly had a more thorough understanding.

"So mutant plants can also advance?" Zhuang Shisong murmured.

There are still too few mutant plants on Hell Star, and Base 24 is so poor that there are not enough mutant plants for them to study, not to mention that there are only a handful of mutant plants that have fallen into sleep, and most of them are dead.

Therefore, no one has discovered that mutant plants can advance, that is, evolve for the second time.

Beast Warriors can also evolve twice. They are generally divided into awakening period (cub period), growth period and mature period. After entering the growth period, the bloodline will stabilize and will no longer fall into frenzy easily.

The growth period is undoubtedly a very important stage.

Those Beast Warriors with strong bloodlines can easily obtain the second superpower hidden in their bloodline at this stage, which is also called advanced superpower.

It is said that the top batch of Beast Warriors may be advanced twice or three times.

After the mature period, the ability of the Beast Warrior is basically fixed. Even if the strength increases, it can only be exerted on the original superpower, and it is difficult to obtain other new abilities.

According to the breeder Su...if we refer to the standards of human beast warriors...

"This mutated garlic has just mutated for a short time, and it has begun to advance. Doesn't it mean that it is... gifted and has strong qualifications?" Even a calm person like Zhuang Shisong was surprised.

Cen Liang couldn't help but look at him, wanting to say something but stopping.

It would be too careless to believe it without verification.

However, when he looked at Su Ci, he found that he also thought it was 80% true. After all...this is very likely a king bomb with a rare plant bloodline!

Cen Liang couldn't help but start thinking about the topic of mutant plant advancement. There are many things that can be studied in this topic, such as the conditions that promote mutant plant advancement, whether artificial intervention is possible, etc.

At this time, Zhuang Shisong, who was originally surprised, became a little worried.

"So those mutant plants that fell into a deep sleep and then gradually withered and died, did they fail to advance? The probability of mutant plants successfully evolving a second time is very low?"

As long as the blood warrior enters the growth stage, even if it does not awaken the advanced superpowers, it can basically reach the mature stage smoothly, but the strength is different.

And for mutant plants, failure to advance means death, which is too cruel!

Cen Liang also frowned and looked worried.

In this case, although the mutant garlic has high qualifications, it is also more likely to die! After all, those mature mutant plants in the past have basically failed to advance, not to mention that this one is just a garlic sprout according to the growth cycle!

The two were worried, but Su Ci yawned and closed his eyes lazily.

Seeing Su Ci sleeping with his eyes closed, he obviously didn't want to say more. Cen Liang and Zhuang Shisong were embarrassed to disturb him again, and just digested the information they just got.

Finally, the suspension bus arrived outside the cultivation garden.

Unlike the previous desertedness, there were several suspension vehicles parked at the gate of the cultivation garden, and a team of guards were standing guard at the gate. Looking at the numbers on the back of their uniforms, they were obviously from the 26th base.

On the suspended bus, Cen Liang received a message from Wu Yunqin. He knew that someone from Base 26 was visiting, so he didn't find it strange to see the guards outside the cultivation garden.

After all, the person who came was the director of Base 26. He had a high position in Base 26 and had made real achievements. His personal visit this time also showed his importance to mutant garlic.

After verifying their identities at the gate, Cen Liang took Su Ci and Zhuang Shisong into the cultivation garden.

"Keeper Su, I didn't expect the people from Base 26 to come visit suddenly. They are also here for the mutant garlic. Director Wu is receiving them now."

Cen Liang briefly explained the situation, then rubbed his hands and said, "We don't have much time to check the mutant garlic. In the future... you may need to come again."

The relationship between the two bases has always been good, and there are many things to cooperate and exchange. The two directors also have some origins. If the other party asks to check the mutant garlic, Director Wu has no reason to refuse.

However, after knowing that the mutant garlic is likely to be in an advanced state and there is a high probability of failure in advancement, Cen Liang is reluctant to let Su Ci go back.

If he comes back another day, and during this period, this mutant garlic really fails to advance and withers, who can he cry to?

Now at least let this breeder Su take a look first, so that he can feel at ease.

Su Ci didn't care. He yawned and followed Cen Liang and the others, got on the work car of the cultivation garden, and Zhuang Shisong drove them to the greenhouse where the small spiritual garlic was.

Along the way, except for the greenhouses that were dismantled and moved to the nursery, you can see that most of the greenhouses are empty.

"Aren't you going to plant in these greenhouses?" Su Ci asked.

"The plan has been temporarily stopped." Cen Liang said, "In order to supply mutant garlic, there is not enough nutrient solution and fertilizer, so we can only reduce the input of ordinary crops."

Su Ci frowned slightly. In his opinion, this is really a huge waste.

"Have you done any research on land cultivation?" he asked.

Cen Liang smiled, with a bitter look on his face, "Before coming to Hell Star, which one of us didn't come out of the ground?"

Although there are greenhouse cultivation and soilless cultivation, many agricultural stars still focus on land cultivation. Naturally, these agricultural scholars cannot leave the land.

It's just that after coming to Hell Star, they all fell in front of land pollution.

Su Ci nodded, just this sentence was enough.

He said calmly: "In this case, why not open up these unused greenhouses like the nursery and plant directly on the land."

He had thought about how to get the human race in the cultivation garden to help him transform the land, and now the time seems to be ripe.

Now, let's start with the land in the cultivation garden.

Hearing his words, Cen Liang smiled bitterly and said: "I have already tested it. The land in the cultivation garden still contains extremely high levels of pollutants and is not suitable for planting..."

"Don't you have mutant garlic now?" Su Ci said strangely.

"The mutant garlic is still dormant, and according to the characteristics it has shown before, it does not have the ability to purify pollutants." Zhuang Shisong said, "You reminded me of this before."

"Yes, the mutant garlic can secrete a substance that drives away pollutants..."

As he spoke, Cen Liang suddenly stopped, and Zhuang Shisong also realized something.

He and Zhuang Shisong looked at each other and saw the gleam in each other's eyes.

Neither of them was stupid. They had not thought of this direction before because of their inherent thinking that they had not thought of studying land cultivation.

In addition, the mutant garlic was discovered not long ago, and they already had a lot of topics to study, so they fell into a blind spot for a while, and now, Su Ci's suggestion led them to the right path.

"Yes, since mutant garlic can drive away pollutants in the air, can it also drive away pollutants in the soil?" Cen Liang slapped his thigh. Zhuang

Shisong also quickly switched the work car to automatic driving mode. He was so excited that he was shaking all over. If he drove manually again, something might go wrong.

"You can use the solution soaked in the mutant garlic roots to soak the soil." Zhuang Shisong quickly stated his thoughts, "Although the mutant garlic has a strong smell, it does not seem to be toxic to ordinary plants."

They had experimented before. At first, the plants in the same greenhouse with the mutant garlic grew better, but as the concentration of the garlic smell gradually increased, the effect began to weaken. Later, they dared not place other crops in the greenhouse.

However, this has already shown that as long as the concentration is reduced to a certain level, the smell of mutant garlic is not only harmless to ordinary plants, but can also promote growth.

So by the same token, can it be said that as long as the substances secreted by mutant garlic are controlled at a certain concentration, they can not only disperse pollutants in the soil, but also will not affect the growth of crops?

If it can be proved that this is true...then they can transform the soil of Hell Star and plant directly on Hell Star!

Their nursery will become the first place to successfully transform the soil of Hell Star, and it will no longer be a small transparent place that can be bullied by anyone!

Zhuang Shisong was overwhelmed with excitement, but Cen Liang managed to remain calm.

"It's too early to say this now. We have to make sure that the mutant garlic seedlings have successfully advanced and survived before we can start the subsequent plan."

He poured a basin of cold water on Zhuang Shisong, and his feverish mind also cooled down.

"Yes, we have to ensure that the mutant garlic can survive..."

The significance of the mutant garlic is becoming more and more important, which also makes the two breeders worried.

They arrived at the place soon.

"Let's go, breeder Su, let's go and see the mutant garlic."

Cen Liang said, "If the mutant garlic can return to normal, we will immediately pry up the floor of the greenhouse and start the soil transformation planting experiment right away!"

Su Ci nodded, followed them into the greenhouse, and saw the small garlic that was carefully cared for in the culture medium.

Compared to the last time he left, the small garlic, which had grown a lot, shrunk a few circles, and was only about ten centimeters long, with drooping leaves, and the whole plant looked a little wilted.

It was no wonder that Cen Liang and Zhuang Shisong were nervous after shrinking so much.

But in Su Ci's opinion, the shrunk garlic was much smaller and more delicate, and the aura emitted by the whole plant was no longer mixed, but became clean and refined.

Obviously, it has successfully upgraded.

Su Ci stretched out his hand and was about to touch the small garlic to wake it up from its slumber, but was stopped by a cultivator next to him.

The greenhouse of the small garlic was under constant surveillance, with dozens of growers taking turns to wait outside the greenhouse. If Cen Liang had not brought Su Ci here in person, these growers would never have agreed to let Su Ci in.

As for the green space in the nursery, only a few people in the grower knew about it, so when they saw Cen Liang bringing an apprentice grower to visit, it naturally caused dissatisfaction among others.

After entering the greenhouse, Su Ci did not follow the rules and wanted to touch the mutant garlic, which naturally attracted the obstruction and angry glares of the accompanying personnel. However ,

before this grower could say anything, Cen Liang pulled him aside to talk.

After listening to Cen Liang's words, the breeder looked at Su Ci with doubts, and whispered: "Is it true? Plant bloodline owner?"

Cen Liang smiled at Su Ci, "Career Su, you continue, you continue."

Because of the little episode just now, Su Ci's hand stopped in mid-air.

He looked at Cen Liang, and just as he opened his mouth to say something, he felt something touching his fingertips.

Su Ci retracted his gaze and looked forward, and saw that the small garlic that had just drooped, one of its leaves actually stood up at some point, and happened to touch his fingertips.

In a perspective that no one except him and A Yan could perceive, the whole garlic plant emitted a faint glow, and a wave of ecstasy burst out from it.

However, although others could not see the light, they all clearly saw the state of the garlic plant -

the mutant garlic not only took the initiative to touch the finger of the trainee breeder, but all its drooping leaves stood up afterwards!

Everyone clearly saw that the mutant garlic had awakened!

"Yiya~Yiya~"

The garlic plant happily emitted violent waves. If Su Ci hadn't stopped it, it would probably have grown wildly again to vent its joy of successfully touching the spirit of the earth!

Of course, although it can't grow wildly, it doesn't mean that it can't use other ways.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground rang out one after another. In the greenhouse, first the cultivator who had just stopped Su Ci fell, then Cen Liang, and then Zhuang Shisong...

one after another, all three of them closed their eyes and fainted.

Smelling the garlic smell that quickly spread in the greenhouse, Su Ci couldn't help but lightly tap the leaves of the small spiritual garlic. When he felt its happy response, a rather helpless expression appeared on his face.

Before, this small spiritual garlic would emit a stronger and stronger garlic smell as it became angry, but now...

it would even do so when it was happy.

Moreover...

Su Ci glanced at the grower who had just stopped him. He was fully armed, wearing an isolation suit and a gas mask, but he still could not escape.

So, the smell attack of the small spiritual garlic has increased again?

After seeing this sudden situation, the growers who were watching outside the greenhouse were shocked by the scene just now, and they did not care about the surprise of the mutated garlic awakening.

They quickly put on gas masks and rushed in to drag Cen Liang and others who had fallen to the ground out.

Before they rushed in, Su Ci temporarily blocked the smell of the small garlic sprouts. Although it was inevitable to dissipate, it was not enough to make the growers who rushed in faint.

In order to prevent the small garlic from emitting a stronger garlic smell due to excessive excitement, Su Ci followed the growers out of the greenhouse.

They sent the three fainted growers to the lounge, and as soon as they left, Wu Yunqin arrived with the people from Base 26.

Wu Yunqin was very surprised when she found that the mutant garlic had awakened.

"The mutant garlic has awakened?" Wu Yunqin asked.

"Yes, someone just fainted..."

"Did they fail to take protective measures?" Wu Yunqin frowned.

"Two..."

"I have told you many times that you must strictly follow the operating rules when entering the mutant garlic greenhouse. You are too careless and that's why you got into trouble!"

Wu Yunqin said, and put on a mask and prepared to enter the greenhouse to check in person.

The cultivator who stayed behind saw her talking to the director of the 26th base. After hesitating for a while, he swallowed his words of persuasion.

After all, the garlic breeder just now didn't faint, right? And the cultivator who entered later was also fine.

However, before Wu Yunqin and the others opened the door and entered the greenhouse, Yun Zixu, who was standing beside them to protect them, suddenly said, "Do you smell the smell of garlic?"

And... it seems to be getting stronger!

A few seconds later, with a thud, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Outside the greenhouse, a piece of garlic fell, and inside the greenhouse...

the little garlic was shaking its leaves, still humming and emitting excited emotional fluctuations, and I don't know when it will calm down.
