Chapter 445 (1/2)
After briefly explaining to grantia the theory of selective seed retention, cross breeding and rapid iteration to achieve the goal, grantia realized that Donne was not talking about dirty jokes.
”Is this method feasible?”
The fairy girl was very skeptical about this: ”can the yield of crops be increased only by selecting the best seeds and breeding hybrid seedlings? If it is so simple, it can increase production, and human beings will starve to death?”
”It's not easy.”
Donne patiently explained: ”because the maturity period of crops is very long, it is difficult to see effective results in a limited time of a generation of mankind, so no one will think of this method, but the elves are different.”
”Because we live a long life?”
”This is only one aspect.”
After a pause, Donne pointed to Grandia and said, ”your Druid identity is the most important.”
Grantia thought for a moment and said, ”because I can ripen plants quickly?”
”Yes, your power makes it possible for the rapid iteration of plant genetic variation, so you can choose this method to increase production.”
Donne was greedy for grantia's power a long time ago. Although he could not carry out genetic transformation engineering, although manual screening is a stupid method, it can also effectively achieve the goal of increasing production.
”Fast... Iteration?”
”You can understand it as increasing the effective number of plant benign variation genes.”
”Benign variation... Genetic...”
Grantia was stunned by some unknowingly harsh words.
Seeing that she didn't understand, Donne simply said, ”in a word, you need to open up a small field alone, and then cultivate and cross pollinate those plants with high yield, insect resistance, drought resistance and flood resistance... And then ripen them quickly, keep the better batch of this generation, and then continue.”
”Through multiple ripening iterations of effective genes, and then a large number of breeding, I hope to use new high-yield seeds when ploughing this spring.”
Donne patted grantia on the shoulder and said earnestly, ”in order to prevent people from being hungry and maintain world peace, this important task is up to you, miss grantia, the great Druid.”
The fairy girl immediately got goose bumps all over her body, held her chest in her hands and looked at Donne with a creepy face: ”you don't think of me! My heart belongs to egwin!”
”How hungry and thirsty I look!”
”Stay away from me, one meter... No, three meters away!”
Grantia took several steps back, then said with relief: ”I know! Although I don't understand what you're talking about, just do what you say? Before spring ploughing, right? Then you need to prepare enough land for me. The vitality of the same land can't support my plants many times.”
”No problem, leave it to me.”
Donne smiled with satisfaction. Ellington had nothing else but enough land.
Then again, does the vitality in grantia's mouth mean the fertility of the land? That is, a variety of trace elements?
If the so-called vitality refers to these things, I always feel that the mystery of natural magic has dropped a lot
After he separated from Grandia, Donne went to the magic Energy Engineering Research Institute while thinking about arranging the land. He planned to give Brian the magic energy pistol for them to study. He could handle the industrial magic tools, and the magic array could be studied by the rune dwarf groka.
If groka can't, you can call some elf scholars. Those elf scholars who are obsessed with studying magic will be very interested in this reconstructed magic array, and their rich magic knowledge can become the best researchers.
”Big brother! Father Alberton is looking for you!”
Halfway through, Donne met Elia in high spirits. Beside her was Alberton, who had not seen each other for a long time.
Before the little girl came home, she met Alberton who came back from the forest. When she heard that he was looking for Donne, she brought him with her. She was very happy to help her father.
Donne smiled. ”Uncle Alberton.”
”Lord.”
Alberton made a hasty salute, then came close to him and asked in a low voice, ”have you got the magic stone?”
Donne noticed that Alberton's face was very ugly and immediately became nervous: ”I got it. It's urgent now? The situation is very bad?”
Alberton looked at Donne in surprise, then nodded: ”it seems that you have guessed something... I'm not afraid to tell you that the situation is the worst in history. I have to come back to you. If you don't get the magic stone, I'm afraid you'll be in big trouble.”
Donne took out the magic stone and gave it to Alberton. Then he said very seriously, ”if you can, can you tell me the trouble in detail? I'm strong and not afraid of trouble, really.”
After thinking silently for a moment, Alberton said helplessly, ”Lord, I believe in your strength, but... This is not the trouble you think. Do you know Ms. disaster?”
”Ms. disaster? It has something to do with her?”
