Chapter 429 Solving Farmland Pollution
The reason why flowerless grass is called flowerless grass is mainly because this plant cannot bloom complete flowers. It can only send out a few flower buds at most, and it can only last for half a day at most before the flower buds disappear.
However, when Colin came to the experimental area, he saw several white flowers swaying in the brown flowerpot in front of Shelley. They were all plump and huge, which made him startled.
The next moment, those white flowers withered in an instant, and the green grass roots below also withered immediately.
"As you can see, when planted in polluted soil, the plant produces full, white flowers for a short period of time before wilting."
Shelley walked towards him, with some surprise on his face.
At the beginning, they also tried planting many different plants to observe the effects of farmland pollution on plants, but they never tried sedge.
The main reason was that at that time, Colin mastered the Radiant Wall and began to take the initiative to observe plants in depth. They focused their energy on this and did not continue to try to plant more different plants.
Now when I was observing the pollution of farmland consumed by different plants, I started to try to plant different plants one by one, but I discovered the unusual behavior of the flowerless grass.
"I'm afraid you have to carefully observe the specific situation." Shelley thought for a moment and said
"The previous planting experiments were still too hasty. Since the figwort can undergo such changes, then the other plants may also have completely withered and undergone special changes...but it may not be as obvious as the figwort, so we have not discovered it."
"It's possible." Colin came to the flowerpot, squatted down and pulled out the withered grass with his hands.
To the naked eye, withered figwort looks no different from other withered plants. They are all black, yellow, shriveled and lifeless.
Without checking the flowerless grass, Colin first checked the contaminated soil in the flower pot.
About five minutes later, he broke away from the state of in-depth research, took a few deep breaths, turned to Shelley, shook his head and said: "In terms of consuming pollution, the flowerless grass is not much different from the previous plants."
Shelley's face showed slight disappointment, but he quickly adjusted it: "Anyway, there must be a reason for Wuhuacao's weird behavior."
"Yes." Colin nodded, took another sage plant, planted it in a flowerpot, and then began to observe it carefully.
But this time the observation lasted for a long time.
Within an hour and a half, Shelley stood nervously aside, and beside him stood Atbold and Lillian, who had just arrived.
Their expressions were solemn, and there was no sound in the entire experimental area except for the sound of Colin's research movements.
Another half hour passed, just as Shelley was about to contact his mentor, Colin finally raised his head, exited the state of in-depth observation, and turned around.
"I think I've made a big discovery..."
Before Colin finished speaking, the feeling of powerlessness in his body and the deep exhaustion in his soul made him shake his body involuntarily and support the experimental table beside him with his hands.
"Colin!"
"Junior!"
Shelley and Lillian stepped forward quickly.
"I'm fine..." Colin shook his head and smiled, then pressed his eyebrows and said, "I just need to rest."
"But before I take a break, I have some good news for you. I seem to have found a solution to farmland pollution."
…
South of Neustadt, near the Kingdom of Kege.
Councilor Jonson of the Ishtar School was exploring the hills in front of him with his men.
"How's it going here?" Jonson asked, picking up a handful of dirt from the ground.
"It can barely be cultivated into suitable farmland before the winter wheat planting period." The wizard on the side also bent down to pick up a handful of soil and inspected it carefully. After a pause, he continued: "It's just that the soil quality here is not good, and the wheat yield may not be as good." It would be too high.”
"Yes." Jonsson nodded slightly and asked again: "So far, have you checked all the places in Neustadt that may be reclaimed for farmland?"
"Yes, Lord Jonson."
"How does the total grain production compare to the original Tiramei Plain?"
"The original Tielaimei Plain has always been known as the Golden Wheat Ears, and the boundless golden wheat sea is even more famous..."
"Exactly how much food production can be achieved in the Tiramei Plains?" Jonson interrupted the consultant wizard's words and asked.
"Perhaps it can only reach half of it... It may be less, but the total sum can reach at least a quarter." The consultant wizard said after considering.
Jonson frowned, then relaxed, comforting himself in his heart:
"It doesn't matter. Although the food is less, the magic stones earned will not be less."
The farmland in the Tieraime Plain was destroyed, and there was an extreme lack of food throughout Neustadt and even Meredith.
As long as these new farmlands can be reclaimed and winter wheat is planted, even if the food output is not as good as the original Tiramei Plain, he is sure to bring magic stone income to the family in the coming year that is not inferior to the original Tiramei Plain. .
After completing the last piece of land exploration, Jonson took the lead in submitting the specific farmland conditions to the Supreme Council.
Other members of Congress who took over the task of reclaiming new farmland also submitted tasks one after another.
After review, the Supreme Council only approved Jonson's plan.
This result did not surprise Jonson. Their family was backed by the Istad School and had been planning to get involved in the entire Neustadt grain business.
In addition to the idea of taking the Ti Laimei Plain, it has also accumulated some other advantages, such as new land suitable for reclamation into farmland.
In fact, if the farmland in the Tiramei Plain had not been suddenly destroyed, the councilor who now manages Tiramei would not be Colin, but a new councilor from their family.
Of course, it was fortunate that Colin showed up, otherwise it would have been the turn of their family's new councilor to take over the mess of Ti Laimei Plain.
…
Half a month later.
"Junior, come quickly! Sjago's dissociation technique seems to have been successful!"
In the experimental area outside Golden Wheatear City, Lilian leaned over and watched the contaminated soil in the flowerpot in front of her change from gray-black to normal brown, and said excitedly.
"Did the Sijago Dissociation Technique combined with Wu Hua Cao succeed?" Hearing this, Colin also had a happy face and strode over!
Shelley and Atbold, who were also facing a flower pot on the side, also stood up in surprise and walked over quickly.
"It should be... at least there are no traces of pollution on the outside." Lilian nodded, stepped aside, and showed the flowerpot in front of her.
Colin said nothing and entered a state of in-depth observation.
After a moment, he turned his head excitedly, looked at the three of them and said, "The soil in the flower pot is indeed no longer contaminated by the gods!"
It was great. The joy in his heart was like a cool breeze suddenly blowing in his face on a hot and sultry evening. Colin felt relaxed and happy, and all the fatigue in his body seemed to be gone.
After carefully observing Wuhuacao that day, he suddenly discovered that the divine pollution did not immediately damage Wuhuacao after entering its body, but instead caused it to bloom.
After that, the god of pollution seemed to adapt and began to pollute and destroy the flowerless grass.
And in this process, Colin saw clearly the pollution of gods for the first time - or, in other words, saw the pollution of gods in a special state.
Although he had been able to observe the divine pollution in farmland in depth before, at most he could only see that the pollution was a series of colorful gray-black turbid streams, which were very chaotic and unclear.
When the gods' pollution was in this state of colorful gray and black turbidity, they also tried countless methods, but no matter what method, these colorful turbidity were unmoved, and only plants could passively attract its invasion.
It seems like the filthy murmur, the colorful turbid current is basically not disturbed by external forces.
But when the divine pollution entered the flowerless grass, during the tiny gap between causing it to bloom and causing it to wither, Colin observed that the colorful turbidity suddenly changed into a gray-yellow substance that looked like a thorn ball.
This state will only last for an instant, but the scope of the impact is all the divine pollution in the entire flower pot.
Feeling blessed, Colin subconsciously used the power of witchcraft to try to influence this tiny gray-yellow thorn ball-like substance that was transformed from the colorful turbidity current.
Then, he was surprised to find that this tiny gray-yellow thorn ball-like substance seemed to have lost the immunity of the colorful turbidity current to various external forces and became able to shake it.
Since it will be affected by witchcraft, it naturally means that the tiny gray-yellow thorn balls can be eliminated by external force!
The tiny gray-yellow thorn balls are colorful turbid currents. Eliminating them means eliminating farmland pollution.
So after that, the four of them started trying day and night, and finally, today, half a month later, they found the first suitable method to dissolve the tiny gray-yellow thorn balls - Sjago Dissociation Technique!
"Great!" Even if it was Shelley, she couldn't help but feel a little excited after hearing Colin's affirmative answer.
"The farmland is finally saved!" Lilian even shouted happily!
Atbold stepped forward and patted Colin on the shoulder, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion:
"Although the gods' methods are mysterious, they are not difficult for you."
"There is also an element of luck." Colin smiled.
It cannot be said that there was no luck involved in discovering the loophole of divine pollution in the farmland so quickly.
However, if it were another wizard, even if he noticed the changes in the flowerless grass, he would not be able to find a solution to the farmland pollution without further observation.
So strictly speaking, this isn't really a flaw, it's just that he is too special.
Speaking of which, when he first saw the colorful turbidity turning into tiny gray-yellow thorn balls, he didn't react yet and thought he was dazzled.
Colin smiled inwardly.
All along, when he started to study the pollution of gods, he had been thinking——
What exactly is the pollution spread by gods in farmland?
This question was not answered until he was able to clearly see the pollution in farmland.
It wasn't until he saw the changes in the colorful turbidity that he had a vague idea.
The divine pollution in farmland may have two properties at the same time.
One obvious thing is that it has the same nature as dirty talk that pollutes people's hearts.
However, dirty ravings are only effective on conscious life, and obviously cannot cause harm to plants such as wheat.
Therefore, pollution in farmland also has a second property - the property of causing plants to wither.
There are many ways to make plants wither. Lack of water, lack of nutrients, lack of light... can all cause plants to wither.
But divine contamination in farmland clearly does not cause plant wilt through these means.
Until now, Colin still didn't know how the divine pollution in the farmland caused the plants to wither, because the colorful turbid currents obscured everything, preventing him from seeing the specific reasons why it happened.
But the changes in the colorful turbid current on Wuhuacao gave him a vague guess——
The pollution of farmland is like a "universal pesticide" designed by a god that can change according to different plants, and the outer layer is a packaging that has the nature of filthy nonsense...
God's methods are still beyond the scope of Colin's current understanding. Such speculation is obviously not accurate enough. At least the two properties of the colorful turbid current should be closely combined, and there is no distinction between inner and outer layers.
But in any case, this does not prevent him from using the lag of the colorful turbid current when facing Wuhuacao to solve it.
“It’s just the end of August, and there’s still some time before planting winter wheat in late September. The current Skago dissociation technique is still too complicated, and it’s okay to simply deal with the contamination of the soil in the flower pots.
But if we want to solve the farmland pollution in the entire Ti Laimei Plain... we'd better research a large-scale method to eliminate farmland pollution during this period, and strive to solve all farmland pollution at once in a short time to avoid possible risks. . "
Colin looked at the flower pot soil that had returned to normal and said again.
He didn't want to find that after half of the farmland was solved, the remaining farmland pollution had been filled up... After all, no one knew whether God had any backup plans, so it would be best to solve it all at once.
…
In the next few days, although there was still no leisure time, most of the pressure in Colin's heart had been relieved. He even had some free time to play with Naxi and Bobi, or to guide Sister Renee in their knight training.
After about a week of this, they had not yet perfected the method of clearing up farmland on a large scale, but a piece of news from the front that shocked the entire Siya continent suddenly came.
"The real clone of the Lord of Flesh and Thorns was ambushed by the wizard team of the Supreme Council and died on the spot."
Colin sat in the study, reading the newspaper sent by the parliament, and marveled.
This was apparently retaliation on the wizard's side for a previous attack on the god's farmland.
However, the true clone of a god... This is completely different from the ordinary projection or ordinary clone of a god.
It is indeed a shocking news.
But these are still some distance away from him.
After reading the newspaper, he went to the laboratory and worked with Shelley to study large-scale solutions to farmland pollution.
Lilian and Atbold on the side continued to try to see if there was any other witchcraft like Sjago's dissociation technique that could eliminate farmland pollution in the form of tiny gray-yellow thorn balls.
In this way, by late September, they had successfully developed a method to solve farmland pollution on a large scale.
