Chapter 410: High Yield Crops
Besides, Ye Zan left Tongtian Tower and went directly to the Steel Fortress. At this time, the contest organized by Yuqing Taoist Palace to select outstanding disciples had already ended. Regardless of whether they were unsuccessful or simply came to watch the excitement, they had already dispersed. Only those outstanding disciples who were selected remained in the Steel Fortress, undergoing some final tests.
This time, Ye Zan wanted to select some outstanding disciples for Yu Qingzong, and outstanding disciples not only had to have excellent aptitude, but also had to be inspected from aspiration to character. Although, those who are brought out from this small world must be recorded in the military register, which is equivalent to an extra layer of loyalty guarantee, but it does not mean that there is really no need to worry about anything.
For example, there is such a kind of person who has high aptitude and usually performs extremely well, but when he encounters any major incidents, such as facing the threat of a powerful enemy, he will suddenly be discouraged for no reason. Can't even play one percent. Although this kind of person is not very common, it is by no means a special case. The main problem is that the psychological endurance is too poor, and they panic when encountering little things.
Of course, this kind of person is not hopeless, as long as he can find a way to break through that layer of mental barriers, he can still become a useful talent. It's just that Ye Zan is impatient to do this psychological adjustment, anyway, it's not like he can't choose other people. Moreover, those who have problems with their mind and character can also stay in Yuqing Taoist Palace to slowly reform, and it will not be too late to get rid of their problems at any time, and then take them out to join Yuqingzong.
In addition to qualifications, tests and trials in other aspects need to be done through technological means. For example, psychological tests. Although this world also talks about xinxing issues, they often rely on the so-called experience of knowing people, or they can only wait for the weakness of the other party's xinxing to be exposed. However, through the technological world, it is possible to accurately expose the psychological problems of the subjects.
Ye Zan came to the Iron Fortress, and first met the two ancestors of Yuanying who stayed behind in Yuqing Taoist Palace. These two Yuanying patriarchs, one named Li Tianying and the other named Wang Mingyang, are the principals of Yuqing Taoist Palace today.
"I've met Elder Ye!" Li Tianying and Wang Mingyang greeted Ye Zan very respectfully after seeing Ye Zan.
"Oh, I have met the two elders, thank you, the two elders have been waiting for a long time!" Ye Zan replied with a smile.
After the ceremony, Li Tianying and Wang Mingyang sized up Ye Zan, then cupped their hands and said, "Congratulations to Elder Ye, you have been promoted to the Nascent Soul realm!"
In fact, since Li Tianying and Wang Mingyang knew that Ye Zan was going to take someone away this time, they could naturally guess that Ye Zan's cultivation had improved. However, seeing Ye Zan at this time and feeling the mana fluctuations on Ye Zan, the two of them were quite surprised. In their minds, Ye Zan had just stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm, so his cultivation was naturally at the beginning of the Nascent Soul. Unexpectedly, looking at it now, the other party seems to be stronger than the two of them in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
"Hehe, thank you very much." Ye Zan said politely.
"Elder Ye, we have already completed the selection of outstanding disciples that you ordered before. Now, eight disciples of the Golden Core Realm and seventeen disciples of the Foundation Establishment Realm have been selected. A total of 25 people are accepting The final test." Li Tianying reported to Ye Zanhui.
"Well, I'm sorry for the trouble of the two elders. Because I, Yu Qingzong, have just joined ten Yuanyingjing elders, in order not to cause tension in other sects, I will wrong the two other elders of the Taoist Palace in a short time. I also ask the two elders to be considerate." Ye Zan explained to Li Tianying and Wang Mingyang the reason why he didn't take Yuanying Patriarch out this time.
"What did Elder Ye say? We are not yet perfect in cultivation, so we can practice in the same way wherever we are. Moreover, as long as the sect needs it, I will serve the sect wherever we are. How can I feel wronged by it?" Li Tianying and Wang Mingyang quickly responded.
"Well, don't worry, the two elders, the sect will firmly remember your contributions to the sect, and will definitely not treat you badly in the future." Ye Zan also assured Li Tianying and Wang Mingyang.
"I will definitely do my best for the sect!" Li Tianying and Wang Mingyang couldn't say they were overjoyed, but at least they had Ye Zan's promise, so they didn't have any worries. After all, this time Ye Zan did not choose to take their Yuanying Patriarch away. No matter how they understand it rationally, they will inevitably still have some lumps in their hearts.
At this time, the door of the conference hall opened, Ye Yi and others who were in charge of testing the disciples walked in, and reported the test results to Ye Zan.
Originally, twenty-five outstanding disciples were selected, but after going through those technological test items, the final number was set at twenty. Of the twenty disciples, there are five in the Golden Core Realm and fifteen in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the pass rate is quite high. As for the five people who did not pass the test, they can't be regarded as being eliminated. The five people will also become key disciples in the Yuqing Taoist Palace. Moreover, Steel Fortress will also formulate some special training plans for their problems in the test.
Ye Zan is quite satisfied with the result of being able to select so many outstanding talents worth cultivating from such a small world.
Next, Ye Zan took another look at the things about spiritual rice planting in the small world. Through the monitoring of Skynet, even a bug crawling on the ground in the spiritual rice planting bases in the small world could not escape his eyes.
This spiritual rice is of great significance to ascetics, so in terms of spiritual rice cultivation, Yuqing Taoist Palace dare not be negligent in the slightest. Therefore, in the various planting bases of the entire small world, the growth of the spiritual rice is quite good, and it won't be long before there will be another bumper harvest.
"Two elders, I have one more thing to do this time, and I need the help of everyone in the Taoist Palace." Ye Zan said to Li Tianying and Wang Mingyang after seeing the planting of Lingdao.
"Elder Ye, if you have anything to do, please just tell me!" Li Tianying and Wang Mingyang quickly said very respectfully.
"I have a batch of seeds here, but they are not spiritual rice seeds, but some high-yielding common crops." Ye Zan took out a few things from the Qiankun Ring and put them on the table in the conference hall. If you are a person in the world of science and technology, you will recognize these few things immediately. There are also crops that are very famous in the earth age, such as corn, potatoes and so on.
These crops were all found by Ye Zan from the plant gene bank he brought, and they are among the top high-yielding crops in the technological world. Moreover, these crops have also been genetically adjusted, and it can be said that they have more advantages than the original plants. In addition to high yield, things like insect resistance and drought resistance, as well as taste, have been adjusted and optimized. For example, potatoes, we all know that after sprouting, toxins will be produced, which can be serious or even fatal. However, the genetically adjusted potatoes have basically lost the ability to produce toxins, and their shelf life has been extended a lot.
The main purpose of Ye Zan taking out these high-yield crops is naturally for merit. After all, the current promotion of Lingdao has not really reached the point of broadcasting to the world, and he has also advanced the merits of this piece, and the subsequent merits will not be too much. As for the rail transit, although construction has already begun in the Tang Dynasty, it will be a long-term and long-term project, which will not allow him to gain a lot of merit quickly.
Therefore, if Ye Zan wants to get a lot of merit as soon as possible, he still needs to think of some other ways.
Therefore, Ye Zan thought of this kind of thing that has a great impact on human beings in terms of people's livelihood, high-yield crops. You know, in the earth age of the technological world, when the technology was not so developed, the appearance of these high-yielding crops saved countless lives.
In this world, the crops that mortals have been planting all the time, no matter in terms of the types of crops or the way of planting, can be said to be quite primitive. For many farmers at the lowest level, the harvest from the ground all year round may barely be enough to starve to death. Therefore, if there is a calamity year, it is not uncommon to see starvation everywhere, and it is not uncommon for people to change their sons to eat.
In terms of planting methods, unless some technology is added, Ye Zan can't make much changes. After all, in terms of planting, people in this world have also gone through tens of thousands of years of development, and it can be said that the original planting method has been developed to the extreme. And if some technological things are added, such as machinery such as harvesters and planters, it is obviously unrealistic.
Therefore, Ye Zan still decided to start with crops. With high-yield grain, at least people will not starve to death, which is already considered a considerable merit.
In fact, after several generations of planting, spiritual rice can be regarded as a high-yield crop after it loses the ability to convert spiritual energy. However, it is also certain that even if it becomes an ordinary high-yielding crop, spiritual rice will not be planted on a large scale in the secular world. After all, in terms of planting conditions, spiritual rice planting requirements are still quite high, and they are more picky about the planting environment such as soil.
It is conceivable that when spiritual rice is introduced into the secular world, it will only become the table food of the rich and powerful, and it is unlikely to become the food of choice for the low-level people to save their lives and overcome disasters.
Of course, before preparing to launch these high-yielding crops, just like rail transit, it is still necessary to conduct social adaptability experiments in a small world. After all, the emergence of such high-yielding crops will definitely have an impact on the entire society, such as the impact on food prices, and the various impacts of changes in food prices.
However, after preliminary calculations, Ye Zan can be sure that the impact will not be too great, and it will not directly cause some people to lose their jobs like the rail transit. After all, food is a thing that cannot be sold for a price, and it is a necessity for human survival anyway. If you have this thing, you will not starve to death. And for many low-level people who are struggling with food and clothing, it may be their biggest pursuit not to starve to death.
Therefore, Ye Zan asked Yuqing Taoist Palace to promote these high-yielding crops in this small world. In addition to conducting certain social adaptability experiments, it is more important to cultivate more seeds. The seeds Ye Zan brought from the world of science and technology were only used as laboratory samples after all, and the quantity was naturally very limited. The seeds that he can take out now to promote Yuqing Taoist Palace are cultivated through the accelerated time of Yuqiu space. However, it is impossible for him to keep using the time acceleration of the jade ball space to cultivate more seeds, that would be too expensive, and the speed is actually not fast.
Therefore, the best way is to allow the small world to plant on a large scale for several generations, then there will be enough seeds for the large-scale promotion and planting in the Shenhua domain.
After hearing Ye Zan's introduction to several crops, although Li Tianying and Wang Mingyang looked strange, they still stood up and saluted Ye Zan solemnly, saying, "Let's wait, thank you Elder Ye on behalf of all living beings in this world!"
"Hey, the two elders don't have to be like this. I just took out these crops. The specific promotion of planting depends on the efforts of the two elders and everyone from the Taoist Palace." Ye Zan waved his hand and said, too lazy to say goodbye Explain things in terms of merit.
"Elder Ye, don't worry, leave this matter to me, and we will make these crops spread all over this world as soon as possible!" Li Tianying and Wang Mingyang assured Ye Zan.
"Well, I'll thank you two elders." Ye Zan nodded, and then took out treasure bags one after another from the Qiankun ring, which naturally contained those high-yielding crop seeds.
And Li Tianying and Wang Mingyang also hurried over to put away those treasure bags. Now the Yuanying elders of Yuqing Taoist Palace have all been equipped with Qiankun rings. Although the storage space is not very large, it is enough for ordinary things. After all, for ordinary people, they don't need to carry too many things with them. The most important thing is convenience, and they don't have to carry big bags everywhere.
After explaining about the high-yield crops, Ye Zan and the two elders, led by Ye Yi and others, met the outstanding disciples selected this time. These outstanding disciples already knew the reason why they were selected, so each of them was somewhat excited.
"Greetings to Elder Ye, Greetings to Elder Li, and Greetings to Elder Wang!" After seeing Ye Zan and the two elders, the twenty selected outstanding disciples immediately bowed down to them.
"Well, let's all get up." Ye Zan said while raising his hand to help everyone.
Following Ye Zan's words, the twenty outstanding disciples stood up from the ground one after another, standing there with their heads held high, like soldiers waiting for inspection.
Ye Zan walked past the crowd and glanced at them with the way of insight. This could be regarded as the last test. Through the way of insight, he can clearly see the whole situation of each person from the inside to the outside, and can even detail the vitality of cells, the subtle characteristics of true essence and so on. Although these twenty people cannot be compared with Qi Qianjun, their qualifications are still quite good, and they can almost be compared with the elite disciples of various sects in Tiandao Mountain back then.
