Zhao Hai looked at the seed in his hand. It was a type of seed called barley. There were many kinds of barley planted in the land of culture. As the plants in the land of culture were rarely improved, the yield of barley was very high. Therefore, most of the farmers here planted barley seeds.

Zhao Hai noticed the problem when he looked at the seed. He tried to stimulate the seed with Nature Energy, but it didn't work. The seed didn't germinate. Zhao Hai had stimulated it with Nature Energy, but it still didn't germinate. The seed was useless.

Zhao Hai put down the seed and turned to the old farmer, " "You planted these seeds yourself, right? How many years have you been using these seeds? Have you always kept your own seed?"

The old farmer immediately said, " Yes, my lord. Everything we plant here is what we keep for ourselves. I don't know how many years I've been planting it. In any case, I've been doing it since I started planting. &Quot;

"Then, has the production of barley been decreasing for the past two years?" Zhao Hai nodded.

When the old farmer heard Zhao Hai, he quickly said, " &Quot; yes, Your Excellency. The production of barley has been decreasing for the past two years. This situation has been happening since ten years ago, but the reduction was not much at that time. We thought that we did not have enough base fertilizer, but the reduction grew more and more. We also reported this matter, but the master of the Academy said that it was because we did not have enough base fertilizer. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded and turned to long Yunfei, " &Quot; I've found the problem. The problem should be with the seeds. They've degenerated and can't survive now. &Quot;

Long Yunfei looked at Zhao Hai in confusion and asked,"Sir, what do you mean?" How could the seed degenerate?"

&Quot; of course, seeds will degenerate, " Zhao Hai said in a deep voice. &Quot; plants are just like animals. Mr. Long, you've probably seen boars and domestic pigs before, right? Wild boars were very fierce. Ordinary people didn't dare to provoke them at all. Ordinary animals didn't dare to provoke them either. If ordinary people encountered wild boars in the mountains, they would avoid them. But what about domestic pigs? However, no one cared. Domestic boars were tamed from wild boars. Wild boars had long tusks, but domestic boars did not. This was because the living environment of domestic boars had changed. Wild boars needed to fight with other animals, so they had to grow tusks. However, domestic boars did not need to fight with people. They were fed every day. They would sleep when they were full and eat when they woke up. There was no danger at all, so their tusks slowly disappeared. It was the same for plants, which grew in the wild. In many cases, people's plants are much more resistant to diseases and disasters than their own plants. Most of the time, the plants planted by people have been tamed. Due to the change of environment, after being tamed for a long time, many aspects of those plants have deteriorated. As these seeds have been used for too many generations, they have deteriorated. Therefore, the yield of the barley will become low and they will not germinate at all."

Long Yunfei didn't know much about plants, but he still understood what Zhao Hai meant by the degradation of seeds. Long Yunfei looked at Zhao Hai and said, " "Sir, what should we do?"

Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, " &Quot; in soldier continent, botanists usually improve seeds and have special fields for them to look after. Many farmers, after planting their own seeds for a few years, will buy new seeds, keep a few more, and buy more seeds. This cycle will keep the seeds in the best condition. However, in civil continent, there is no such situation, so the seeds planted by the farmers are all left by themselves. Not only will the seeds not get better, but they will also slowly degenerate until they can't grow any plants. The best way to change this situation is to select new seeds and plant some original seeds, then improve them so that the seeds can regain their vitality."

Long Yunfei nodded and continued, " "That's possible, but it will take time. Many places near the green cloud Mountain have suffered from such a disaster this time. They all need to change their seeds, but where can we get so many seeds in a short time? As you said, we can improve it, but we don't have the time. Even if we start now, we don't have enough time."

Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, " we can transfer seeds from places that have not been infected. We'll let everyone plant them for a year, and then immediately organize people to improve the seeds. It's better not just here in Qingyun mountain, but the entire continent of literature. We'll eliminate a batch of old seeds and let the farmers plant new seeds as soon as possible. Only in this way can we ensure the production of food. &Quot;

Hearing Zhao Hai's words, long Yunfei let out a long sigh of relief. He nodded and said, " &Quot; okay, Thank you, sir. But please go to other places and see if there are any other problems with the land. If there are, please mention them and we can solve them together. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded and walked to the ground. Then, he took out a seed and threw it on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the seed grew into a big tree. Zhao Hai's performance surprised long Yunfei and the others.

In the literature continent, there was no such thing as mutated seeds. Botanists only treated plants. Their fighting methods were very monotonous, which was to use their own weapons to fight the enemy. Botanists were naturally at a disadvantage. However, for many years, the botanists in the literature continent had been fighting like this. It was the first time they had encountered such a thing as Zhao Hai releasing mutated seeds.

Zhao Hai communicated with the mutated baobabs and confirmed that there was no problem with the soil. He immediately turned the baobabs into seeds and kept them.

After putting away the seeds, Zhao Hai turned around and looked at long Yunfei and the others. He found that they were all staring at him blankly. He didn't care and walked along the land. From time to time, he would release the baobabs to test if the soil was normal. Finally, he came to a piece of land with plants growing on it. He also tried it and found that the soil here was good. The farmers took care of the soil very seriously. He was relieved.

&Nbsp; Zhao Hai kept the baobabs seed and turned to long Yunfei, " &Quot; Mr. Long, I've just checked. The soil here is very normal. There's nothing wrong, so you don't have to worry. It seems that the problem is with the seeds. Please solve the problem as soon as possible, but I'm afraid it's already past the time for planting barley. You'd better find some plants with a short growth cycle to plant. I'm afraid there won't be a big harvest this year. &Quot;

Long Yunfei nodded. &Quot; okay. Don't worry, Sir. I understand. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded and walked out of the field without saying anything else. Long Yunfei called for the others, then got into the carriage with Zhao Hai and headed toward Mount Qingyun.

In the carriage, long Yunfei looked at Zhao Hai and said, " "Sir, what is the plant you used before? How did he grow so big in an instant?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, " that's one of the most common means of attack used by botanists in soldier soul continent. It's called the mutant seed. This type of mutant seed is made by us botanists using the natural energy in our body to slowly refine ordinary seeds. After this type of mutant seed is released, as long as it is stimulated by our natural energy, it can grow rapidly and grow very big. It can even help us attack the enemy and help us in battle. &Quot;

Long Yunfei said in a deep voice,"Sir, are you saying that this is the most common method used by botanists in the soldier soul continent?" How powerful is it?"

"It's not that powerful. This kind of mutated plant has a weakness, and that is its movement speed is very slow. It's not very helpful to plants, and generally only low-level plants will use it. High-level botanists won't use it because its combat power is too small, and it's not very helpful to high-level botanists. However, ordinary botanists will still carry some mutated seeds with them, because when botanists rest in the wild, they can release these mutated plants to help keep watch at night. This way, the botanist can have a good rest." Zhao Hai told long Yunfei everything about the mutant seed.

Long Yunfei nodded and didn't say anything. He just looked out of the window and frowned. No one knew what he was thinking. Zhao Hai was not in the mood to figure out what long Yunfei was thinking. He sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, thinking about what had happened today.

After a while, the car stopped at the square. Zhao Hai and long Yunfei got off the car and went back to the college. Zhao Hai went back to his room to rest, while long Yunfei had a lot of things to deal with.

In fact, today's incident had affected long Yunfei a lot. He knew very well why the other professions in the Civil continent could not develop. It was the result of the suppression by the scholars. Of course, he knew that. However, today's incident made long Yunfei have another idea. He did not know if it was right for the scholars to suppress the other professions.

The reason why he had such an idea was because the botanist in the college was helpless about today's matter. Zhao Hai went, and in just a few minutes, he had already come to a conclusion. Obviously, this was not a difficult thing for Zhao Hai. It was not a difficult thing for Zhao Hai, but the botanist in the college could not even find out. The gap between the two was really too big.

There was also the solution that Zhao Hai proposed. At the same time, Zhao Hai also said that in the soldier soul continent, botanists were responsible for the improvement of plants. However, in the literature continent, botanists were only responsible for treating plants. He had never heard of a botanist who could improve plants. From this, one could tell the difference between the two.

Previously, long Yunfei didn't think much of botanist. In his opinion, botanist was just treating the disease of plants, and there was nothing great about it. However, today's incident made long Yunfei clearly understand the importance of botanist because botanist was directly related to the production of food. Any continent, any force, could not do without food. (To be continued.) &Quot; if you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
