I'm collecting golden fingers from all over the world

Avril heard that Wu Siyuan was going to set up a magic academy, so she came over and asked Wu Siyuan to help. Although her attainments in magic were only average and could not be compared to Wu Siyuan, magicians were cutting-edge talents after all, just like any other. The doctor of water is also a doctor, so Wu Siyuan gave Avril, the mermaid, the position of water magic tutor with a wave of his hand.

Avril was smugly proud in front of Helen, a little vixen.

The little fox's mouth turned into a moon bud. He went to Wu Siyuan with grievance and told him that he also wanted to contribute his own strength. Wu Siyuan thought about it and with a stroke of his pen, there were many more people in the magic academy that had not yet been established. Created a series - the Behemoth War Song series.

Although most altar sacrifices pass [Psychic War Song], they inherit knowledge from their mentors and thus embark on the path of sacrifice.

But this does not mean that altar sacrifices can only rely on [Psychic War Song] to be passed down.

Using traditional education methods, there is a certain probability that one can understand the essence of [War Song] and embark on the path of altar sacrifice.

But it's a tough road.

There are many words in [War Song] that come from dragon language and elven language. They are very obscure and have complicated pronunciation. To master them, you need to put in a lot of hard work, and you may not be successful.

When Wu Siyuan asked Helen to open a [War Song Department], Helen was also very unsure, but Wu Siyuan encouraged her, saying that you may not succeed if you try, but if you don't try, you will definitely not succeed.

Then Wu Siyuan said a lot of encouraging words, and Helen was greatly encouraged and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the inheritance of War Hymn.

The Behemoth beauty Ningyu from the East took a look and became interested. Her racial ability [Detection and Pearl Retrieval] cannot be taught, but [Illusion] is very difficult to learn - she has learned from her race for many years. It can be seen that only one illusionist can be produced, and this is the case when the Ningyu race has a racial bonus in illusion.

Of course, Ningyu is more for fun.

There is also Ferguson Xu, Wu Siyuan’s prisoner. Although he is an old yinbi, he has no bottom line, but he has to admit that this guy is very talented in [Alchemy] and [Qimen Dunjia]. .

In the original work, it was he who developed the [Anerle Array], also known as the [Insulation Array], which combines the earth-avoiding barrier and the water-condensing barrier. It can not only keep the moisture in the air, but also Avoiding the dust allows the sea people to set foot on land and launch another land and sea war.

Of course, in this time and space, Old Man Xu was captured by Wu Siyuan before he could show his value to the Hai Clan.

By the way, the Mermaid King of the West Asia royal family also became his blood contract slave. If nothing else happens, there will be no chance for the sea and land war in the original book to start.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………

Helen and her group discussed (quarreled) for a long time and finally decided on a name for the academy to be established, called [Feleng Cui Magic and War Song Academy].

Wu Siyuan never paid attention to these trivial things.

Ever since he obtained [Yougua] and [Measure of Gold], Wu Siyuan's attention has long been no longer on magic.

He Youman has proven that after simple purification, the juice in [yougua] is very similar to gasoline in properties, has a low flash point, and burns fully. The quality is no worse than the so-called 95 gasoline, and is even much better. It is a high-quality oil. .

If it can be grown on a large scale, these [oil melons] will become natural oil fields.

The cultivation of [oil melon] does not have many requirements on the environment. As long as the soil is fertile enough, it is fine. However, the yield is low. Generally, one [oil melon] can only grow one or two [oil melon]. Any more. No more.

And a [oil melon], if cut open, contains only four or five seeds.

This is also one of the reasons why in the novel, even though Liu Zhenzhen had the [Fountain of Life], his number of [Gourds] was never large.

Of course, Liu Zhenzhen's battles one after another also consumed a large amount of his [Yougua] quantity.

In this situation, it was not until Liu Zhenshao obtained the help of the [Eternal Moon Well] and the Hulk tribe from the Elf tribe that he increased the number of [Yougua].

But Wu Siyuan doesn't like this method of relying on external objects.

The main reason is that Wu Siyuan wants to bring [oil melon] back to the real world for planting.

It's just that [Yougua] can be covered up with scientific research results, but how to explain [Eternal Moon Well]? Moreover, [Eternal Moon Well] is not a mass product.

In addition, the [Eternal Moon Well] is not enough. The Hulk family's plant spells are also needed to make [Gourd] burst into production.

Hulk!

Does Wu Siyuan want to explain to people all over the world that these Hulks have become like this because they have experienced gamma rays? Should everyone believe in science?

In this way, Wu Siyuan will indeed gain unparalleled influence, but if nothing else, the [Super Group] he established will definitely be swallowed up by others, and even he will have his freedom restricted.

Wu Siyuan would not even think about this method and would definitely not adopt it.

Therefore, we still need to use biological breeding methods to solve the problem of [oil melon] yield.

Generally speaking, there are two methods of biological breeding, one is conventional breeding.

Conventional crop breeding involves screening a large area or a large number of plants. After discovering plants with excellent traits, they are then cultivated and screened year by year until a new variety with excellent quality and stable traits is obtained. This generally requires more than 3 to 4 generations. time.

For example, in the real world, the Illinois Agricultural Experimental Site in the United States researched and bred a type of corn that increased the average population protein content from 10.95% to 26.60%. It took 70 years!

Therefore, it is not easy for an agricultural expert to cultivate a superior variety in his lifetime.

Conventional breeding exploits naturally occurring mutations, called spontaneous mutations, which take a long time to occur.

Artificial use of physical, chemical and other factors can also cause genetic mutations, which is called induced mutation. This kind of mutation may occur in a short period of time. The use of induced mutations to develop improved varieties is called mutation breeding.

This is the second selection method.

Mutation breeding includes chemical mutagenesis, nuclear radiation mutagenesis, photomutation, etc. Laser breeding is a new branch of photomutation.

The simplest laser mutagenesis is suitable for granular seeds, such as wheat, rice, cereals, seed-sown vegetables, etc. The method is to select the appropriate wavelength, power and time to directly irradiate the seeds, then sow them into the soil and cultivate them according to conventional methods, and select plants with abnormal characteristics to obtain the required new varieties.

More complex laser mutagenesis breeding is more troublesome.

Take the sweet oranges cultivated by Southwest Normal University as an example. The university started mutagenesis breeding of golden oranges in 1975 using lasers such as helium-neon, Ru glass, and helium-cadmium. They grafted 3,200 young buds irradiated by laser onto the outer oblique layer of the crown of a 20-year-old golden orange tree, and cut short the 4 to 5 buds at the base of the primary branches that grew out.

Because most mutations are usually limited to 5 to 10 buds at the base of primary branches, after the results of the high-grafted inflorescences in 1978, fruit quality analysis and identification were carried out, and eight inflorescences with large variations were screened out.

In 1979, buds were taken from these eight branches and grafted again to the outside of the canopy of an 18-year-old adult fruit-bearing orange tree to obtain the second generation of laser irradiation.

The results were obtained year by year from 1982 to 1985, showing genetic stability. After passing the appraisal in 1986, a new sweet orange variety with early maturity, high sugar content and few seeds was finally bred.

Laser uses biogenetic engineering technology in cultivating new animal species. When two different types of biological cells are fused together to form another new cell, another new organism is created.

For example, a laser microbeam is used to punch holes in silkworm egg cells called dragon horns, and then a certain chromatin solution called black silkworm silkworm is injected into it. After incubation and cultivation, a new variety of silkworms with special properties is obtained.

But this is another situation.

Whether it is conventional breeding or mutation breeding, the most critical factor is time.

And [Fountain of Life] can help Wu Siyuan greatly shorten the breeding time.

[Shennongjiao Space] can detect the attributes of planted plants, and can also help him select experimental crops with excellent traits as quickly as possible.

He Youman had another research task, so Wu Siyuan did the breeding of [oil melon] himself.

Drop by drop of the diluted [Fountain of Life] dripped down, and each [oil melon] plant grew vigorously.

Among them, the [oil melon] seeds that produce the largest number of melons and have the richest juice are selected for a new round of planting and then screening.

The fine variety [oil melon] that originally took decades or hundreds of years to cultivate was produced by Wu Siyuan in a very short period of time.

On a single [oil melon] plant, there will be at least five [oil melons], six, and seven are not uncommon.

On average, for every kilogram of [oil melon], 0.65 kilograms of biogasoline can be obtained.

An average [oil melon] weighs 5 kilograms, and if it is large, it can reach 7 or 8 kilograms.

Calculated based on the results of 5 [oil melon] plants, 8.125 kilograms of biogasoline can be obtained, which is about 10 liters of gasoline.

According to the price of 95 gasoline in 2016, one liter is 6.46 yuan, and 10 liters is 64.6 yuan.

One acre of [oil melon] weighs about 2,000-3,000 kilograms. In other words, the profit can be at least 5,248 yuan, or even 8,000 yuan.

The planting cycle of [oil melon] was originally two harvests a year, but under Wu Siyuan's selection and breeding, it became three harvests a year.

One acre of [oil melon] can earn a minimum of 15,000 yuan.

Of course, since then, [oil melon]’s demand for fertilizer has also become much higher, but it is completely worth it.

He Youman estimated that after deducting various costs, one acre of [oil melon] can still earn 10,000-12,000 yuan.

Ten acres of [oil melon] can earn hundreds of thousands a year.

On average, I can earn about 10,000 yuan a month.

This number may not seem like a lot, but in 2016, how many people can actually get 10,000 yuan a month?

The circle of friends seems to be very glamorous, and it feels like it is easy for people around you to make money, but in fact, there are more people disappearing from the circle of friends.

But these silent majority are ignored.

Back to [Gourd].

Wu Siyuan knew that a killer weapon like [Yougua] would definitely attract covetous attention when it was put into the real world.

Therefore, in order to protect his own interests and ensure his influence, Wu Siyuan adopted a variety of protective measures against him.

For example, consider the principles of growing seedless watermelons.

Seedless watermelon is grown from seeds, but these seeds are not the seeds of seedless watermelon, but the seeds of tetraploid watermelon formed by crossing the natural diploid watermelon with the tetraploid produced by mutation.

Use the method of artificially inducing polyploidy. For example, colchicine (a plant alkaloid) is used to treat diploid watermelon seeds or seedlings to prevent the formation of spindle fibers and primary walls during the mid-stage of cell division, so that the replicated chromosomes cannot be divided into two poles, and the A secondary wall forms in the middle. The result is a cell with a doubled chromosome set, which doubles the chromosome set of a common diploid watermelon to give a tetraploid watermelon plant. Then it is crossed with a diploid watermelon plant (as the male parent) to obtain triploid seeds. The triploid plants developed from the triploid seeds cannot form due to the disordered association of homologous chromosomes during the reduction process. Normal germ cells. The mature diploid pollen of ordinary watermelon is then used to stimulate the ovary of the flower of the triploid plant to become a triploid fruit. Because the ovules cannot develop into seeds, it is called triploid seedless watermelon.

In this way, Wu Siyuan turned [oil melon] into seedless [oil melon].

The seedless [oil melon] will wither after one year of planting. If you want to continue planting, you can only get the seeds from Wu Siyuan.

This ensures that the big killer weapon [Yougua] is firmly in Wu Siyuan's hands.

Wu Siyuan also plans to deal with another magical plant - [Midland Mulberry] in the same way.

It would be nice to keep such good things in China.

Of course, [Dianjin Mulberry] also needs to be selected and re-cultivated.

Because the output of one [Golden Mulberry] tree is only about fifty pounds of [Golden Solid] every year.

One pound is 0.9 pounds, and fifty pounds is 45 pounds.

In other words, it takes a single [Pink of Gold] tree one year to condense 45 kilograms of alloy from underground veins.

One hundred [Golden Mulberry] trees can only produce 4,500 kilograms a year.

This output was so low that it was difficult for Wu Siyuan to look directly at it.

Therefore, Wu Siyuan focused on the yield, using [Fountain of Life] to accelerate the growth rate of [Dianjin Mulberry], screening out [Dianjin Mulberry] that produced more results, and breeding it from generation to generation.

This work is much more time-consuming than cultivating [oil melon].

I don’t know how many generations of [Dianjin Mulberry] have been selected and how much [Fountain of Life] has been used. Wu Siyuan finally bred a [Dianjin Mulberry] whose fruit is completely metalized, and saw the dawn of hope. .
