silent farm

Chapter 215 Weird Xiangxi, a research project that changes color after smelling it
After revisiting the delicious frog meat again, Li Sheng made another video call with Tia.Early the next morning, after breakfast, he called Zhang Feng and the others to ask if there was anything he needed to deal with.The answer was always: "No."

So he entered the space again.It would be morning, and he was still over the creek.

Although the frogs could hardly be seen, he sensed for a while that there were actually quite a few of them hiding under the pebbles.Their skin is the color of the stone, huddled under the stone, and at first glance you think it is a pebble.On some pebbles near the surface of the water he found what appeared to be eggs clinging to them.This should be the baby that was born last night.

He didn't intend to stay here any longer, the air surrounded him, and he also began to slowly rise into the air.

However, he had only risen to less than half a meter before he stopped immediately, and then drifted past the forest upstream.

When he came to the edge of the forest, there was no soil here, only a piece of flowers with an area of ​​more than 200 meters was just about to bloom.

What caught Li Sheng's attention was that these flower buds looked a lot like roses. In the same flower, different buds were blooming, but the edges of the petals were of various colors.Black, blue, red, yellow, purple, green, pink, orange, and there is a kind of bud that has all colors except black.

One flower has eight colors of flowers?
He kind of didn't want to leave.If the petals of this kind of flower are bright and pure enough, and the flowers are big enough, he can take them out and cultivate them as flowers.

Not to mention other colors, black, blue, green and colorful, these four kinds of flowers will definitely sell for a lot of money.However, he was also a little worried. If the flower could be propagated by cuttings, it would be useless for him to cultivate it. It would take less than a year for someone to plant it.Because it's totally natural.

He hesitated, and finally seemed to wait for the flower to bloom at least halfway before leaving.So he continued to look around to see if he could find anything else that would interest him.

When he waited until noon, the sun was shining directly overhead, and the wild roses were still only a little more in bloom.But Li Sheng smelled a fragrance like orchid and musk.This fragrance permeates the entire "river valley" formed by the forests on both sides.

He was startled, where did the aroma come from?Is it poisonous?He knew nothing and dared not be careless.He hurriedly flew up to a high place, and didn't stop until the fragrance faded a lot.

He hesitated for a while, and went to the forests on both sides of the "river valley" to investigate, and found that there was no such fragrance in the forest.There are not many flowers by the stream, so it cannot be the fragrance of flowers.

He sniffed the fragrance carefully for a while, and didn't feel any discomfort, on the contrary, he felt his mind was clear.Slowly, he found that the closer to the ground, the stronger the fragrance.At last he found some clay among some pebbles, and the clay was warm and exuding a rich fragrance.This scent is more natural than any perfume.

Could it be that there are some microorganisms that can emit fragrance in these soils?The water temperature dropped slowly, and the aroma slowly dissipated.Is it because of the sun?

Li Sheng thought about it for a while, and felt that it should be related to the temperature.He decided to take it back and test it to see if there was any bacteria that could give off that scent.If you can cultivate that kind of bacteria artificially, maybe you can make a kind of perfume.

He moved the pebbles and found some of the same clay.But didn't manage to find a lot, only a few kilos or so.Carefully knock the clay into a box, put some water in it, and put it in the storage space.He saw that the flowers hadn't bloomed yet, and he didn't intend to wait any longer.

This creek made Li Sheng very curious.There were so many of those frogs, and there was a field of roses in many colors, and there was a scented clay. .

He thought for a while and decided to fly upstream first.

As a result, he flew more than ten kilometers and found more than ten pieces of that kind of flower.He finally saw the blooming flowers.The color of the petals is very positive and bright.The flowers are the same shape and about the same size as ordinary roses.This is indeed a rose.

This kind of rose should be used as a special economic crop.Whether it can become unique to the farm is another matter.

He just cut off some branches with flowers, and then continued to fly upstream.

At last he came to the edge of a cliff.This is a cliff tens of meters high. He knows that this should be the boundary between the lakeside plain and the plateau, but the rest is a huge slope. He has never noticed that there is a cliff here before.

There is a cave with a diameter of about three meters at the bottom of the cliff, and the creek is set out from it.

Li Sheng was very curious about this cave.Where does this water come from?
Although the cave was dark, he wasn't worried that there would be danger inside.He rummaged through the storage space, found a flashlight, and flew into it.The cave is definitely formed naturally, and the size of the interior and the entrance of the cave is not much different.The strangest thing is that after two or 300 meters into the cave, the temperature began to rise slowly.

Li Sheng didn't know how high the temperature inside was, but it didn't seem stuffy inside, which meant there must be vents inside.

After going a few tens of meters deeper, he found some vine-like plants on the cave wall.All black leaves.The more you go inside, the more these vines grow. The vines hang down from the top of the cave to the stream at the bottom of the cave, and the cave grows bigger and bigger.

A plant that doesn't need photosynthesis to survive?This space is really full of wonders.Li Sheng stopped his figure, thought for a while, and then decided to continue flying forward.But he couldn't fly too fast, because there were a lot of vines hanging from the roof of the cave, and he had to push them aside while flying.

The cave is deep, but it is not considered complicated, there are no forks, and it is not particularly curved.

He didn't know how long he had been flying.When he pushed aside the last strand of vines, a circular cave hall with a height of 100 meters and a width of several hundred meters suddenly appeared.There are a large number of huge cracks around the cave hall.

The water flow can no longer be seen here, but the water seeps out of the cave under the gravel at the bottom of the cave.Li Sheng felt that the problem here suddenly decreased a lot, at least a little lower than before.

Moreover, Li Sheng smelled a very peculiar fragrance here, very strong, but not uncomfortable.In the light of the flashlight, he saw countless flying insects.He flew to the cave wall and found a layer of strange large colonies on the cave wall.It looks like Ganoderma lucidum, but the whole body is white, and some sticky white emulsion is secreted on the mushroom cap.And some white hufengs are collecting those lotions.

After careful observation for a while, he discovered that the mucus was not actively secreted by the white Ganoderma lucidum, but was secreted by the bees after piercing the surface of the Ganoderma lucidum with their tail needles.

It took him hundreds of millions of days to figure out the situation of this cave hall.Those Hu Feng build their nests in the cracks or on the top of the cave hall, and feed on honey made from the white ganoderma secretion densely packed on the cave wall.

And those white Ganoderma lucidum has a viscous translucent liquid inside, and the smell is the same as Ganoderma lucidum, but more intense.

Here's a simple ecosystem with a one-liner.

The bottom of the cave hall is relatively flat, and there is a deep water pool about ten meters square in the center. There is a spring in the middle of the pool. I think this is the source of the stream.

And let Li Sheng understand how this cave hall was formed, the red crystals wrapped in stones full of honeycomb holes on the ground.If he read it correctly, it should be a rough ruby.

Rubies are formed by volcanoes.If he guessed correctly, this place should have been a volcanic lair.And that cave should be a lava channel.

Later, when he returned to that channel, he found quite a few red crystals on the ground.Only a few tens of meters near the entrance of the cave were not found.It should be that the volcanic lava did not break through the cave and slowly turned into an extinct volcano.It's just that it sounds like a bit of fantasy.Could it be that the lakeside plain outside the cave suddenly collapsed due to a fault?Otherwise, how could these tens of meters block the strong pressure of the volcano?

He couldn't figure out how this volcanic lava nest became like this, but thinking why this space exists is still a mystery, he no longer entangled with this problem.

What he is considering now is whether to transplant the bees and the white ganoderma inside to the farm.If you want to transplant, the cost is relatively high.Because they must survive in a dark, humid and constant temperature environment.

It is not difficult for farms to create such an environment, the main problem is cost.He decided to go back and think about it first.At least take a look at the test results of the white Ganoderma lucidum and the honey.

Li Sheng wandered around in the space for seven or eight days, and found more than ten kinds of things that might reach the farm.Some things were sent to outside testing agencies for testing.There are some he is experimenting with himself.

But there are some he is also considering whether to transplant.

Feng Xiaoting finally came back from Huaxia after leaving for half a month.Li Sheng received a special call from Huang Lei.Huang Lei pointed out one thing, that is, Feng Xiaoting is a very important person, and I hope he can protect it well.

Although Li Sheng didn't understand why Huang Lei specifically mentioned this matter.However, he specially arranged for Zhang Dingbian to bring a few people to Brasilia to pick them up on the E195 that he had not yet taken.

After Feng Xiaoting returned to the farm, he approached Li Sheng immediately and explained what happened during his stay in Huaxia: "Mr. Li, Huaxia will send four researchers and twelve experimental assistants over. Their idea is to unite Research. What do you think?"

Li Sheng was a little strange: "That research of yours is so important? Do you need so many assistants?"

Feng Xiaoting shook his head and said, "I really want to find an assistant. But they don't want to be my assistant."

"What do you mean?" Li Sheng asked with a frown. "This is different from what we said before."

Feng Xiaoting was a little dumbfounded, and said: "They have taken a fancy to my research. They hope to share the research results, so they hope it is joint research, not helping me find a suitable assistant."

Li Sheng looked at him and said, "Joint research, what conditions are there?"

"They can bear part of the research cost and part of the experimental work. Originally they wanted to share the data and conduct research separately. But I said that the research resources are only available on our farm, and the farm's equipment is also the best. So they agreed to send people come over."

Li Sheng asked with a smile: "That's so important over there, what is the prospect of your experiment?"

The corners of Feng Xiaoting's eyes twitched lightly, and he said something that made Li Sheng's face change: "If we can find the method of the core gene segment, we can find the prerequisites for the cells and viruses we need to deal with. For example, if we can know the nature of cancer cells The characteristics of the core gene segment, we can find a way to change its gene, so that cancer cells can be inactivated, but normal cells will not be harmed. In that way, we may completely solve viral diseases such as hepatitis B and all tumors and cancer."
