I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 252 Different Characteristics of Plant Mutations

In the quiet yet busy days, time passed quickly and it was late September.

During this period, except for returning once in the middle, Xia Yuan devoted the rest of his time to cultivation.

Until now, he has never appeared again.

The reason he came back that time was because he received a notice from Minister Xie.

The budget is out.

The gap with the original expectations is not very large, at around 120 billion.

But that's not the entire budget.

Some experimental instruments and physical fitness testing devices have not yet been determined.

If these are included, there may be another 10 to 30 billion.

Fortunately, Shao Longcheng had prepared sufficient funds.

After the money is in place, the construction of the college will naturally begin in earnest.

Xia Yuan only showed up on the first day.

As for the specific construction matters, they were all handed over to the chief engineer, Mr. Wang.

According to Mr. Wang’s plan.

The construction of the college is divided into four phases.

Each stage lasts for half a year.

In addition to this, we have to add some other time, which adds up to two and a half years.

The final plan is to be completed before the Spring Festival of 2026 in the Earth Calendar.

Considering the college's planned area of ​​more than 10,000 acres, this is definitely an extremely fast speed.

In addition to the official start of construction of the college, the construction of the experimental base is also nearing completion.

It is estimated that it will be put into use in about a month at most.

Of course, during the period of building the experimental base, Huang Jinzhe and a group of scientists were not idle.

They are also stepping up their experiments on source crystals.

However, there was not much to gain in such a short time.

Several people are still in the stage of analyzing the source crystal.

With current technology, it is indeed not an easy task to analyze the source crystal.

Some people have devoted themselves to the research of the original tree.

Some biologists have even cultivated some plants.

They wanted to see if similar plants could be created again.

What's more, there has been some progress in plant research.

First, prove a point.

Not only that tree, but other plants can also gradually change if they are in an environment with source energy.

This is different from humans and animals.

Research has shown that neither humans nor animals can change like plants.

The plants that have undergone changes have one thing in common, which is that their vitality has increased.

However, the amount of increase in vitality varies greatly among different plants.

In addition, the speed at which other plants change is not as fast as imagined.

It can even be said to be extremely slow.

It is far from the same tree as before.

In the same two months, the vitality gained in the tree was at least ten times more than that of the plants they were cultivating now.

But the problem is, they also cultivated the same variety of trees!

The tree's transformation process is also extremely slow.

The vitality of the same tree differs by more than twenty times.

And there is no offensiveness at all.

A group of biologists were very confused about this.

But they understood that something must have caused the tree to mutate.

Perhaps the answer lies in that extraordinary person.

But they couldn't find anyone now, so they let the matter go for the time being.

In addition, a group of people discovered something interesting.

That is, some plants will randomly produce certain characteristics.

For example, there is a plant called dragon blood tree.

After being cultivated in a source energy environment for two months, the temperature around it was actually rising.

The temperature rise is not that much, only about five degrees.

If it weren't for the detailed records kept by these scientists, it would never have been discovered.

In fact, this plant is not the only one that has experienced this change.

They also noticed a plant called Rubescens rubescens, which, in contrast to the dragon blood tree, lowered the temperature around it.

There is another one called purple cloud flower. No special features have been found for it, but its vitality is much higher than that of other plants grown under the same conditions.

Compared with wintergrass, its vitality is about three times that of wintergrass.

It also has the greatest increase in vitality among the eight newly cultivated plants.

This discovery surprised everyone.

They had never expected that the plants would undergo such strange changes after absorbing source energy.

This completely overturned their understanding of biology.

Damn, it's too unscientific that plants can undergo such changes.

Ok!

They actually accepted it!

Since the emergence of source energy, what strange things have you not seen?
After all, even extraordinary people exist, so what is impossible?

After being surprised, they also began to study several other plants they cultivated.

After all, if these three plants can produce different characteristics, then maybe other plants can do the same.

really.

After continuous research, people discovered the characteristics of another plant.

There is a plant called angelica that can be used to detoxify.

This was discovered when they conducted an experiment on a mouse.

The little white mouse that was dying after drinking DDT miraculously survived after drinking the juice of the herb.

Later, they continued to experiment on the mouse using other poisons.

Until finally, it drank poison containing cyanide and could not be saved.

After being tortured by a group of people more than a dozen times, the poor little white mouse finally left this evil world.

This discovery made everyone understand that the herb can indeed be used to detoxify, and it can detoxify most poisons that are not immediately fatal.

Depending on the toxicity, some require a larger dose, while others require a smaller dose.

Based on this, they speculated that if the herb was cultivated for a longer time, the detoxification effect might be better.

After studying these four plants that produced the characteristics, everyone went back and forth to study the remaining four plants.

Especially the pine tree, they were full of expectations.

But disappointingly, nothing special was found about the tree.

Even its vitality increase is the least among the group.

They are both pine trees, why is there such a big difference?

As for the other three plants, two of them have much higher vitality, only slightly less than the purple cloud flower.

The last plant is called Junying Grass.

They did make some discoveries about it, but no one was sure if it was a coincidence.

It was because after eating this grass, the mice used in the experiment seemed to be faster.

But not many of them moved faster, so they weren't sure if it was because of the mice themselves.

Or maybe it's because vitality has been replenished.

Another reason is that this Junying grass was planted the shortest time, less than a month ago.

They plan to repeat the experiment in a month.

That's all we've found so far about plants.

Generally speaking, the greatest achievements were made in plant research during this period.

It can be said that when the east is dark, the west will be bright!
However, although many characteristics of plants have been verified, such as their strong vitality.

If these plants with powerful vitality are taken by humans, they are simply good medicines for supplementing nutrition and strengthening the body.

But they haven't used it on humans yet. One reason is that the number of plants is very small, with only a few of each type.

How many people can this amount be used for, and how much effect can it have?
Only the big willow tree can do it.

But that willow tree belongs to Xia Yuan's private property.

They can conduct research, but they cannot use public resources for personal gain.

Because of this, several people felt it was a pity that they could not cultivate similar pine trees.

The second is what Xia Yuan had specifically emphasized before.

The reason is naturally because these plants have been transformed by source energy.

If you take it rashly, there may be risks.

In fact, even if Xia Yuan didn't say it, they wouldn't use it on humans so soon.

After all, the characteristics of these plants have not been fully studied.

Especially dragon blood tree and winter rubescens, ordinary people should never take them casually.

Therefore, further experiments are needed.

Only after they have fully understood its effects will they try large-scale cultivation.

Of course, the prerequisite is that there is an active crystal.

Again, if it's just an experiment, there's no problem.

But it was obviously impossible for Xia Yuan to provide so many source crystals to help them with large-scale planting.

If the official wants to plant it, they can only use the source crystals bought from Xia Yuan.

Fortunately, at present, the source crystals consumed in cultivating these plants are not particularly large.

There are currently fifty plants being used for research at the experimental base, and only five source crystals have been consumed in two months.

But this is for Xia Yuan. For the official, it is still a bit too much.

During this period, there has been good progress in research.

The progress of everyone's cultivation was pretty good, and the most important thing was that no one was injured or killed.

The first one is Li Qingxuan.

He had officially entered the eighth level two days ago.

It took him a total of twenty-one days to break through to the sixth level last time.

Even it took him twenty-one days to temper himself 40 times, which is less than twice a day on average. You can imagine how difficult it was.

As expected, it will only get harder as time goes on.

It wouldn't be surprising if the last three stages might take two months.

And unlike at the beginning, one source crystal was not enough to support Li Qingxuan's practice for a month.

Twenty-three days have passed since the last time I started practicing independently.

It is estimated that there are nearly sixty levels of tempering left, and at least two source crystals will be consumed.

By this calculation, the number of source crystals he consumed in his cultivation at the heart stage was about five to six.

Then the consumption of the entire body-building stage is only 25 to 30 pills.

Maybe it won’t be used.

After all, if this number is converted into source points, it would be far more than what Xia Yuan had when he was promoted to the innate level.

When he was promoted to the innate level, he used at most 1.5 source points.

This group of people consumed almost twice as much as he did.

It seems a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it.

Of course, it could also be because he was using cheats to directly add points, so the utilization rate was higher.

All the answers can only be determined after they have cultivated to the innate level.

Speaking of which, during this period of cultivation, Li Qingxuan was among the group with the slowest improvement speed.

Apprentice Li Tianyi has completed 42 temperings and is just one step away from breaking through to the sixth level.

Qingyue was still the slowest. She had barely completed 30 temperings in days, but at least she had broken through to the fourth level.

As for the five people from the Extraordinary Management Bureau.

Feng Yuanshan was still far ahead. He completed a total of fifty temperings and was only five temperings away from breaking through to the sixth level.

At the same time, he has made the most progress of all.

Those who are a little slower, such as Wang Hai, also maintain the pace of completing two temperings a day, and have now completed 90 temperings.

The other two are slightly better than him, one is currently at 93 and the other is at 92 times.

The last one is Tang Ping, who can complete the tempering twice a day most of the time.

The current cultivation progress is 86 times.

In fact, except for Qingyue and Li Tianyi, all the people present are elites, and the gap is not that big.

If nothing unexpected happens, within a month at most, Li Tianyi will be completely caught up with or even surpassed by the four people from the Supernatural Management Bureau.

In addition to the eight people who started practicing at the beginning, Minister Xie also officially started practicing a week ago.

In the first five days, he only completed one tempering every day.

It was only increased to twice since yesterday.

Tempering nine times in a week is not slow for a man in his sixties.

Although there is not much difference in age between them, his physical fitness cannot be compared with Li Qingxuan!

In fact, if my body had not been taken care of during this period, and if I had not received adequate nutrition every day, my practice would probably have been slower.

If Xie Xuan is in this situation, one can imagine how difficult it would be for Shao Longcheng to embark on the path of cultivation.

When Xia Yuan said that he didn't even step over the threshold, he wasn't exaggerating.

Speaking of Shao Longcheng, neither of them has started practicing yet.

Shao Longcheng is still slowly recovering his health.

While Lin Feng was becoming familiar with the awakening method, he was slowly transferring all power to the third brother.

His secretary Xiaoqian was assigned to the new company to be responsible for fund mobilization and official contacts.

During this period, everyone is very busy.

In fact, they are not the only ones who are busy.

Hanzhou, Jiangcheng.

Qin Zhi, Xia Yuan's roommate at university, has been very busy lately.

I go to work during normal times, and go back to prepare for the wedding during holidays.

As October approaches, there are more and more things to prepare for the wedding.

On this day, after finally having some free time, several college classmates got together again.

"Brother B, what's going on with Xia Yuan? I've called him several times lately but haven't been able to get through to him."

Brother B is the nickname given to him by everyone, simply because this guy liked to show off after drinking when he was in college, so he got this nickname.

"We clearly agreed that whoever gets married will help."

"You said he wasn't working, and he didn't come back early even though he knew you were getting married on October 5th. Now he's just disappeared. He's not a human being."

During this period, they also had little rest in order to help Qin Zhi prepare for the wedding.

I called Xia Yuan but couldn't get through to him, and now that I've been drinking, I can't help but feel a little emotional.

"Okay, Liu Peiqi, stop talking."

"I"

Liu Peiqi opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

So I could only drink another glass of wine.

In fact, several people knew what Xia Yuan was thinking.

If they lost their jobs, they would probably feel embarrassed too.

And they knew Xia Yuan's character. When this guy was not doing well, he almost never took the initiative to contact them.

But usually, as soon as he gets his salary, he will treat me and others to a meal.

"We've been brothers for so many years, so what? Who would look down on him?"

"If he has any difficulties, please tell us and we can help him find a solution together."

"Xia Yuan, he really doesn't treat us as brothers."

As he was talking, he actually started snoring on the table.

Looking at Liu Peiqi who had fallen asleep, everyone fell silent.

They have all grown up and are now in their thirties.

Everything will never go back to the way life was in college!
In the end, the edges were smoothed out by reality.

"drink"

　I have a late shift today, so I stayed up late to write this chapter. Good night.
