Chapter 498 [0493] Simulation of the Growth Environment of Cassidoros Flower
Starting from Nadinson, a silent tacit understanding began to spread among the initial collection team.
Some people vaguely guessed the identity of these magicians, but they kept calm because they trusted Nadinson; some did not find anything, but just thought the hot acorns were delicious.
But no matter what, the magicians are integrating into the initial collection team little by little in their own way. Although they still keep secrets when casting spells, they are never reluctant to share the food they make with magic.
For the initial collection team, in addition to climbing mountains and crossing ridges, insufficient supplies are also a difficulty. In order to facilitate movement, they cannot carry too many supplies, so they often can only eat high-calorie dry food.
As field workers, the dry food of herbalists is specially made. This kind of wheat cake that has been soaked in animal oil and vegetable oil many times can provide enough calories, but it is really a bit disgusting to eat.
Many herbalists are old, in addition to bad joints, they often have problems with their stomachs, and a large part of the reason is that dry food stimulates the stomach.
Now with the Guardian, they were pleasantly surprised to find that although the food conditions were still not as good as at home, it was a world of difference compared to eating dry food with hot or even cold water.
With Bunoklin, who could forcefully accelerate the growth of plants, the initial collection team could still obtain fresh fruits even if the season was wrong. In addition to nuts such as acorns and pine nuts, Nadinson also instructed Bunoklin to accelerate the growth of berries such as purple berries and black bell strings, so that everyone could eat off-season fruits.
Even though the berries obtained in the end tasted far less good than acorns and pine nuts due to the wrong climate and soil conditions, and Bunoklin was completely unfamiliar with these plants, it was still enough to surprise people.
Although a little bit of nuts and some fruits were not enough to "buy" all the herbalists and make them give up their worries about the mages, as people who deal with various wild plants all year round, they knew very well what the abilities of these mages meant.
If the growth of plants could ignore the season...
This would bring earth-shaking changes to the lives of herbalists!
Even Nadinson, who had calmly followed his mother's request and followed the actions of the Guardians without prejudice, had to find Brunoclin and ask him if he could make the plants bear fruit all year round.
"No, it's impossible." Brunoclin denied Nadinson's question without hesitation. "Although I accelerated the growth of the plants, I essentially used my magic power to supplement the nutrients they need for growth. For me, it is already difficult to supply a team of first-time pickers. You said that the plants can bear fruit all year round... I can't do it even if I squeeze it dry."
Nadinson didn't understand magic, but he understood Brunoclin's words to some extent - as long as the magic power was replaced by strength, it would be understandable.
"What a pity." Nadinson shook his head first, and then seemed to think of something, "Wait, according to you, as long as you want, as long as you are given an oak tree, you can produce acorns continuously?"
"Well, specifically, after bearing excessive magic, plants will die. For example, oak trees can produce three to five extra acorns, and more will wither."
"Is that so." Nadinson finally nodded, as if relieved, "I thought you could be like those mine rats, with a mine hole, and you can keep digging!"
"How is that possible." Brunoklin laughed dumbly, "Magic is not omnipotent."
……………………
With the improvement of logistics level, the mental state of the members of the initial mining team is obviously better than in previous years-although participating in the initial mining team is not only an honor, but also means getting a subsidy from the Herbalist Guild, but for the members of the initial mining team, if possible, they don't actually want this subsidy.
The cold of winter has not yet dissipated, and we have to go to the cliff 100 meters of ice to observe the quality of plants. This is a life-threatening job.
Now that we have eaten and rested well, everyone's mood is obviously better than in previous years.
And with the convenience brought by the law controller, it really appeared on me. In this initial mining team, most members looked at the law controller with more recognition.
Then, on the third day after leaving Fosbiero, the initial mining team finally climbed a not-too-high mountain and arrived at the first exploration point.
"This is the first exploration point." On the top of the hill, Nadinson called out to Fuquelin, "These low, tightly lying on the stone are Cassidoros flowers. Its stamens have a special fragrance. It is said that it is very popular as incense. However, it has not yet recovered from the wintering state. The white wax on the stems and leaves is still very thick, but the plant is still full and strong."
"So, have you finished your work?"
"Completed." Nadinson nodded, "This is just the first exploration point."
"Very good, then, wild plant observation team, prepare for the experiment!"
Fuquelin, who was originally timid, suddenly took a deep breath at this moment, and then began to issue instructions in an unquestionable tone.
As she said this, all the lawbenders quickly gathered and surrounded her in the middle.
"Build a temporary greenhouse." Fuquelin pursed her lips and looked at the ice mage in the team, "The ceiling should be as transparent as possible, and you must maintain the stability of the ice house greenhouse throughout the process!"
"No problem." The ice mage, who had killed two ice trolls in the Freljord, smiled confidently, "Leave it to me!"
The next moment, he came to a place three steps away from the Cassidoros flower chosen by Ino, and imitated Ino's usual way of casting spells, opened his hands into palms, and slapped them heavily on the ground.
Where his palms touched, a large number of ice crystals began to spread and grow at an astonishing speed, and soon grew into an arc-shaped ice wall.
In the astonished eyes of all the herbalists, this ice wall drew a perfect arc, and finally built an ice house about the size of an elevator car, wrapping the Archon, Sislia and Nadinson in the house.
"Is the roof okay?" After completing the spell, the ice mage's face turned pale, but his expression was somewhat proud. "This light transmittance?"
"Very good, it's sunny today." Fuquelin leaned over and gently stroked the leaves of the Cassidorus flower, nodding slightly, "The sun is better now than when it's cloudy, let's hurry up!"
As she spoke, a wonderful power flowed out from her slender fingers and slowly injected into the plant of the Cassidorus flower.
And with the injection of power, the flower seemed to have received an order and began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Beside her, Nadinson and Sislia saw the release of magic for the first time. Even though they already knew Fuquelin's identity as a mage and had eaten a lot of acorns produced by Bunoklin before, this was the first time they saw a spell directly.
Subconsciously, they even held their breath and stared at the fast-growing Cassidorus flower.
Sislia only felt magical, but Nadinson looked at it and found something wrong.
Why is this Cassidoros flower different from the oaks and shrubs that were also promoted by magic, but seems to have sprouted in advance?
Moreover, why is it getting a little hot around?
Nadinson blinked in confusion, and after scanning the surroundings, his eyes fell on Braum, who had been responsible for heating the team's meals before. This guy has a very exquisite barbecue skill. Nadinson even thought that if he was willing to open a restaurant in the commercial district of Fosbyro, he would definitely visit it often.
And now, Braum opened his hands and faced them in front of his chest. From his palms, a warm heat was spreading in this ice house little by little.
This guy is not a fire mage, but a rare temperature mage!
"Brother Bloom, maintain this temperature rise and wait for my instructions!" Fuquelin controlled the growth of the Cassidoros flower and felt its growth status while arranging the work of other guardians very naturally, "Sister Anna, help control the humidity! Humidify at a constant speed!"
"It grows in the cracks of the rocks, and the ground temperature is not easy to control!" Bloom first roughly raised the temperature in the ice room, and then when he pressed his hands on the ground, he finally couldn't help frowning, "The rocks are too big, I can't control it!"
"Then try to control it and ensure the surface temperature - Uncle Nadinson, you know the Cassidoros flower, help me see its growth Is there any problem!"
"Oh, oh!"
"Water, water, sprinkle water quickly!" Less than a quarter of an hour later, as the Cassidorus flower stood up, without Nadinson saying anything, Fuquelin seemed to be in tune with it and continued to issue cultivation instructions, "Maintain the air temperature, continue to increase the air humidity, and simulate the spring rain environment!"
"Wind, blow the wind, now!"
"Let it rain again!"
"..."
"..."
Although Nadinson, who was asked to be an observer, knew that he should not be distracted when performing auxiliary observations on the growth of Cassidorus flowers, the scenes in front of him were completely beyond his cognition, and he couldn't help but think wildly.
Now, Nadinson already knows the purpose of these law guards coming here, and also knows why the Earl vowed in his spring speech that he would "soon find a suitable growth environment for plants in the north."
In the past countless years, herbalists have tried to plant or transplant these plants with seeds or plants, but because it is difficult to artificially simulate the wild environment and these plants have not been domesticated for a long time, this experiment can only end in failure. After being passed down from generation to generation, herbalists now almost never think of planting them.
Now, these magicians use their own methods to show Nadinson the importance of magic in the process of plant cultivation. Although Nadinson does not understand magic, he can see clearly that through this simulation, these magicians may find a way to artificially plant Cassidoros flowers!
As an important spice, Cassidoros flowers only grow in high mountains. Not only are they difficult to pick, but the annual output is pitifully small.
And now, if it can be planted in large quantities by Fosbyro...
At this moment, a subtle emotion mixed with excitement and worry appeared in Nadinson's heart.
Karya's small classroom·Fukuilin's field team:
As a plant expert that Karya is very optimistic about, Fukuilin, although very young, has already had her own field experiment team.
This experimental team consists of a heat mage, a water element mage, an ice element mage, a wind element mage, an earth element mage and a cultivation assistant, Brunoklin. As long as the environment is not extreme, this field experiment team can build a field laboratory anytime and anywhere to observe and simulate the growth of plants.
Among the team members, the heat mage also works part-time as a chef, the water element mage can provide drinking water, the ice element mage is very powerful, the wind element mage has good perception, the earth element mage is the one who carries the bag, Brunoklin is responsible for providing wild ingredients, and Fuquelin is the group pet, which can be regarded as work and life - if it were not for the scarcity of light element mages, this team would also have a person specifically responsible for simulating the sun.
