Chapter 2210 The Rose Is Ferocious (Ⅱ)

Joan carefully checked the various attributes and special abilities of the "Magic Palace Rose Cluster", and then nodded with satisfaction.

The comprehensive strength of this group of delicate flowers even exceeds that of the Huangquan bee colony from hell. You can try it in actual combat in the future.

"Hi... good morning everyone!"

Joan tried to greet the roses telepathically.

"Good morning, Mom!"

Immediately there was a delicate response in my mind, like the laughter of a group of little girls.

"Mother"……

Joan shrugged helplessly, and was too lazy to explain to the roses that there was no such thing as a "male mother", anyway, he was used to it.

...

For the next week, Joan spent almost all day in the laboratory studying the magic rose.

Judging from the current test results, the magic rose can survive in the sun, but it lacks chlorophyll in its body and cannot carry out photosynthesis. It still needs to hunt animals to supplement nutrition in order to grow normally, pollinate and set seeds.

During this period, Joan also discovered an interesting phenomenon.

The magic palace rose is a typical "dioecious plant" and "cross-pollination", and the distribution of the sexes in the population is not balanced, showing the characteristics of more females and fewer males.

For every 100 magic palace roses, the average number of female plants is usually no less than 90, and the few remaining male plants are responsible for pollinating all the "little sisters", which is very hard.

The interesting thing is that the roses of the magic palace do not rely on wind or insects for passive pollination like ordinary plants. The rose "lady sisters" are very feminist pioneers, and they firmly hold the reproductive rights in their own hands.

When it comes to the breeding season, the female plants will leave the soil, fly into the air, surround a very small number of male plants, and actively seek pollination opportunities.

Joan even saw more than a dozen female magic roses, fighting for the priority of pollination, fighting a fierce group fight, afraid of falling behind other sisters, and when it was her turn, the male flowers could not be squeezed out How much healthy pollen...

What's even more amazing is that when the magic palace roses form a cluster and acquire the will of the brood with an intelligence of up to 6 points, they will take a more active and efficient way to strive for more and higher priority pollination opportunities for the cluster to which they belong.

So one evening, Joan was lucky enough to see six clusters of roses, divided into two camps, and engaged in a vigorous offensive and defensive battle.

The defending side focused on protecting their own male flowers, while the attacking side tried to plunder the male flowers of the opposing camp. As a result, both sides were wounded, and the ground was covered with red and broken...

After a fierce battle, Qiao An counted the battle losses. A total of more than 20 "little sisters" died on both sides. They sacrificed their young lives for this battle for reproductive rights. one casualty...

In order to avoid similar infighting from happening again, Joan had to adjust the layout of the laboratory and assign a small greenhouse to each rose cluster so as not to conflict with each other.

In fact, there is no need to snatch the male flowers of other families for the roses of the Magic Palace. The few male flowers in their own clusters are enough to pollinate all the "little sisters".

At first, Joan couldn't figure it out, why would the female roses do such a stupid thing that hurts the flowers?

Later, he discussed this phenomenon with Granny Green, but he was mercilessly ridiculed.

"Silly boy, haven't you humans been doing such stupid things?"

"Obviously having one spouse is enough to have children, but seeing someone else's beautiful daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be the same to salivate and lust? If there is a chance to hook up... huh, you understand."

"Mother-in-law... the wheel of the car has already pressed on my face, how can you be so proficient!"

In fact, the status of male flowers in the magic palace rose group is very low, and the entire value of a lifetime is mainly reflected in the short pollination season.

After pollination is complete, the exhausted male magic rose will wither and die within a month.

In contrast, female magic roses live longer.

Joan conducted a test using the "Sands of Time in Groups". The female Rose of the Magic Palace, which uses flowering as a sign of sexual maturity, can maintain an average flowering period of up to ten years, while the average lifespan of male plants is only one year.

In other words, every Miss Rose can have at least ten different spouses in her long life, and most of them are "little fresh meat" younger than herself...

In parallel to making experimental observations, Joann is also working on a thesis on supernatural plant colonies.

The currently completed draft does not satisfy him.

The main shortcoming is that he only has a sample of the magic palace rose, and the conclusions drawn from the magic palace rose may not be applicable to other supernatural plant clusters.

The types of research samples are too single, and even cross-category control experiments cannot be done, and the conclusion lacks sufficient data support. For the sake of academic reputation, Qiao An simply refused to contribute.

In the future, we still need to pay attention to searching for other supernatural plants with "cluster" attributes, so as to provide more abundant research samples for this topic.

...

During these days when Joan was immersed in research in the woods, Gaina and Hilde often visited his flower fields.

The first time the two ladies saw a rosebush growing in a greenhouse, they were fascinated by the beauty of the plant.

Gaynor tries to pick a rose to adorn her hat.

Qiao An quickly stopped the Winter Witch from committing suicide, and solemnly emphasized that the magic rose is very dangerous. Putting this kind of magic flower on her head is like hanging a sharp sword on her head. It's not a joke.

Noticing Gaina and Hilde's half-belief in their warning, Joan awakened the will of the rose cluster's brood through the "Branch of Irminsur", and ordered the "daughters" to pull out the roots from the soil, Soar through the air and practice your hunting skills.

Nearly a hundred flaming roses flew into the air in clusters, dancing like a group of beautiful butterflies. Even though it was simulating chasing prey, judging from the scene, it was more beautiful than when it was still.

Gaina and Hilde stared straight, held their breath, and were ecstatic, as if they were enjoying a magic show, and applauded afterward, making Joan dumbfounded and exhausted...

Fortunately, Clark arrived just in time, carrying a half-dead polar bear on his shoulders.

"Brother Joan, I finally caught the experimental animal you wanted, and I almost let this guy slip away!"

"Thank you, Brother Clark, just put the bear here, it will come in handy right away."

Joan instructed the frost giant to throw the white bear into the greenhouse where the rose field was located, and then signaled everyone to follow him into the next office, and observe the greenhouse through a transparent force field wall to see what would happen next.
