Chapter 939: The Replaced Green Light Beans
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Qing took a stack of printed documents from the Ninth Planting Center to the No. 7 Territory to find Zhang San. The nominal reason was to discuss the addition of greenhouses and greenhouses to the Ninth Center, but in fact, it was an opportunity to kill the weeds.

The leaves of the weeds are very small, colorless and transparent. Xia Qing just put them in his pocket and passed through the security gate of Territory No. 7. After being searched by the female members of Ji Li's team, he followed Ji Li to Zhang San's office.

All the procedures were the same as before, but Xia Qing was still keenly aware that something was wrong with Ji Li. This was not reflected on his serious face, but in his mentality. Ji Li gave Xia Qing a sense of heaviness, and his steps seemed heavier than before, as if there was an invisible burden pressing on his heart and shoulders.

Xia Qing asked, "Do the cat princesses like the green bamboo rats that Brother Ji brought back this morning?"

The tabby cat in Zhang San's territory gave birth to two kittens last year. Hu Zifeng took one away, so there was one left. This year, the cat princess did not give birth, so there are still two cats.

Ji Li nodded and answered seriously, "It's OK."

When talking about cats, Ji Li's tone was not much more relaxed. It seemed that something really happened. Xia Qing did not speak again, and followed him to the door of the two-story snow-white building in Zhang San's office area. After being checked again by the security personnel wearing the armband of the Zheng Chen team on their arms, they were allowed to enter.

Ji Li stopped in front of the building door, and Xia Qing followed the members of Zheng Chen's team to the door of Zhang San's office. After she entered the office and closed the door, she handed over the printed document, "Brother San, the greenhouse construction speed of our center is very fast. We can build 50 greenhouses next month. I want to build 10 more brick wall greenhouses..."

Zhang San lowered his head and stared at the screen of his mobile phone. After seeing the guard walk out of the small building, he leaned back on the soft chair and asked, "How many kilograms of edamame did you pick?"

Xia Qing replied, "Two kilograms."

Zhang San sighed, "The weight is the same, but each bean is a normal soybean."

Xia Qing's heart sank. "I picked the edamame from twenty soybean plants, three of which were problematic. Have the soybeans planted in your territory been picked?"

Of the green light soybean seeds that Liehuo gave as compensation, Zhang San kept two kilograms to plant in his own territory and gave three kilograms to Xia Qing.

Zhang San shook his head slowly. "According to the test results of the bean pods, some of these soybeans come from your territory, and some come from other territories."

Xia Qing guessed, "It's probably Territory No. 14. I will find out as soon as possible whether Territory No. 14 is planting soybeans."

Zhang San nodded, "Don't be too hasty, be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll use Xin Yu's scout bird to scout from high altitude, they won't be able to find me."

Xia Qing continued to analyze the current situation. "The beans in your territory are planted in standardized greenhouses and are not exposed to excessive amounts of harmful elements, so there will be no aggressive evolution. As long as you don't test the quality of the beans, you won't find any problems. As long as the problematic beans in my territory are picked away, it is possible to conceal the fact that Liehuo is researching biological weapons soybeans. Third brother, how do you think Ji Li accurately distinguishes the quality of beans? Does he have a tool that can identify the quality of beans, or is he also a high-level magnetic evolutionist?"

It was not difficult for Ji Li, an advanced speed evolver, to get beans from other territories. The difficulty lay in how he could quickly pick out the problematic beans from Territory No. 3 and replace them all with ordinary green yellow beans.

This is what Zhang San wants to understand. "It should have nothing to do with the ability to evolve magnetic perception. After the edamame pods are separated from the plants, there is no transpiration flow and translocation flow inside, and weak electromagnetic fields cannot be generated."

It's not magnetic sense... Xia Qing took out his phone and showed his idol the work video of Xiao Feimao, the No. 001 employee of Territory No. . "Look, Brother San, the red squirrel you saved can accurately identify the quality of seeds and select the cultivable and optimized seeds from a large amount of seeds. What kind of ability do you think this is?"

Zhang San sat up straight, took Xia Qing's phone, enlarged the video and watched it carefully several times, and came to a preliminary conclusion, "Its nose wings were trembling slightly when it was looking for seeds. It should be using its highly evolved sense of smell to explore the subtle differences in the smell of seeds with different levels of chloramine. If we want to confirm this, we have to conduct detailed tests."

Xia Qing's eyes lit up, "It turns out that Xiao Feimao is a high-level olfactory evolver! You are really amazing. You can grasp the key points after just a few glances!"

Zhang San rolled his eyes at Xia Qing and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Xia Qing immediately got back to the point, "Third brother, the smell ability of the advanced olfactory evolved squirrel should be stronger than that of the advanced olfactory evolved humans, right?"

Zhang San rolled his eyes at Xia Qing again, expressing his disdain for the question Xia Qing asked, but still gave an answer, "There are two key indicators of smell, namely the breadth and sensitivity of smell. The former is to distinguish the types of smells, and the latter is the detection limit of a certain smell. Different animals vary greatly in these two indicators. When dividing the level of olfactory evolution, cross-species comparisons are not made. The olfactory evolvers among humans refer to those who have a wider breadth and sensitivity of smell than ordinary 'people'."

"Since humans have highly developed vision and other abilities, their reliance on smell has been decreasing during the evolution process, causing more than half of the olfactory receptor genes to lose their normal functions and become pseudogenes. During the great evolution of Blue Planet, some of humans' pseudogenes recovered their normal functions and became functional genes..."

Xia Qing, a die-hard fan, understood what he heard and immediately asked humbly, "Third brother, is it true that the more pseudogenes are transformed into normal genes, the higher the level of olfactory evolution will be?"

How can it be that simple?!
Zhang San was a little impatient. "Humans have 821 olfactory receptor genes, and there are still 45 pseudogenes left in Yanlong's olfactory receptor genes."

Xia Qing took out a pack of Green Lantern Original Bamboo Shoots, tore it open and handed it to her idol, and continued to ask, "If all of Sister Yan's 45 pseudogenes are transformed into functional genes, can she become a top olfactory evolver?"

With the green light food, Zhang San felt much better and continued to explain, "In addition to the number of olfactory receptor genes, the monoallelic expression of olfactory receptor neurons, that is, the ability to activate the expression of a single olfactory receptor gene, also depends on the influence of many factors such as the spatial interaction of two different chromosome sites and enhancers. According to my genetic test on Yanlong, the probability of her becoming a top olfactory evolver is not high."

Xia Qing, who was already confused, did not dare to ask more profound questions and only asked questions related to the problem to be solved today, "Third brother, how many olfactory receptor genes do red squirrels have?"

Zhang San replied, "The red squirrel of your species should be between 1500 and 1800."

Xia Qing...just one more digit...

Zhang San rolled his eyes at Xia Qing with disdain again, "The number of genes can only determine the breadth, not the sensitivity!"

Hmm... Xia Qing bravely asked, "Third brother, is the sensitivity of human advanced olfactory evolutionists in distinguishing odors stronger than that of red squirrels?"

"There are trillions of smells. Humans are more sensitive than red squirrels in distinguishing complex, pleasing smells. As for your red squirrel, it should be better at perceiving the smells of toxic or nutritious elements..." Zhang San said this and stopped moving, holding the bamboo shoots in his mouth.
