What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 95 Grafting

"Why?!" Sophia cried out almost tremblingly.

"Miss Sophia."

Ke Lin turned his gaze back to the large green wheat seedlings, and said:
"If my guess is correct, your idea should be to strengthen the main root by changing the activity of the third line on the γ main chain in the germ, so as to achieve the effect of cold resistance and active absorption of the root system, right?"

"No... that's right."

Sophia woke up in an instant, opened her eyes wide and froze for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Have you also studied botany?"

"I'm not good at magical biology."

Ke Lin smiled and said: "But I can probably guess it. Let me think about it. The eggplant blue reagent plus 35% dark gray carbon solution will complete all the dissection procedures within 15 seconds after the germ is soaked, right? Hiss... this It is an improved technique based on the 'Hugh Mars Grafting Method', which requires quite skilled craftsmanship, and the success rate is less than [-]%."

"You...why do you...know." Sophia was dumbfounded.

This method of germ transformation is the core content of her graduation thesis. It took more than three months of research and discussion with her supervisor, His Excellency Stanley Bennett, to finally decide on the plan, and it took another time to really determine all the details. She's been there for almost a year.

"It's simple."

Ke Lin knelt down and pulled up a wheat seedling casually, lifted up the root system, held it in front of Sophia, and said:

"The length and length of the root fibers are so neatly interlaced, and the thickness of the upper and lower parts is almost the same, which is a common effect produced by the 'Hugh Mars grafting method'. In addition, the mixed solution of the nightshade reagent and the dark gray carbon will cause the edge of the plant leaves to produce abnormalities. The regular fine jagged shape, this is an atypical phenomenon of the 'Timaria effect', your mentor should have told you about it."

Sophia was already speechless in shock.

The design results she was very proud of, the new lord could see clearly in such a short period of time, and said it with incomparable accuracy, as if he had also participated in the research.

"Your knowledge is admirable, I didn't expect..."

Sophia immediately kept silent.

She wanted to say that she did not expect Colin Wayne to have such a high attainment in magic research.

Because in the Principality of Brighton where she "studied abroad" and even in the entire Western Continent, the academic circles almost recognized that Roman Sagan was at the top in terms of strength, but his achievements in magic research were very mediocre.

Therefore, Sophia originally thought that, as a disciple of "Guidance of the Storm", Colin Wayne was at best a powerful young magician, but she didn't expect that he was not inferior to herself in magical botany.

Colin probably guessed what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Miss Sophia, your research also surprised me."

Sophia came to her senses, stood up straight and said, "Since this is the case, you should know the meaning of these wheats, why destroy them."

Colin sighed: "Because these wheat seedlings are destined to die, and they will wither before earing."

"Impossible." Sophia froze for a moment, unable to agree.

Colin did not directly refute, but asked again: "Miss Sophia, if my guess is correct, you should take the soil here to Brighton, and then simulate the climate and environment around the fortress in the temperature control room to carry out Feasibility study, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is."

"I also know that this is the first time you have directly conducted experiments on the land of Twilight Winter, isn't it?"

"That's right..."

"Look, that's the problem."

Colin sighed: "You may have overlooked one thing, and your mentor probably didn't know exactly what you wanted to do, so he didn't take a factor into consideration for you."

"What factor?" Sophia's self-confidence has been shaken at this time.

Colin looked up at the tall and majestic mountains, and said: "The climate in the north is cold and dry because the Longji Mountains block the warm and humid monsoon from the south.

"But... Although the Longji Mountains are high in altitude, they are not very wide from north to south. Hundreds of millions of years of monsoons have blown the soil temperature of the entire mountain range higher than the surrounding area. Even if we are at the northern foot of the mountain range, we will be affected Influence.

"The effect is negligible at the shallow soil surface, but deeper soils..."

When Sophia heard this, she was already a little aware of something. Slowly, a feeling of hair bursting rose from her back until her scalp became numb.

Colin sighed: "You should know your own research best. The 'Hugh Mars grafting method' will allow the roots of the plant to penetrate one foot below the soil surface to obtain more nutrients. And the actual soil temperature there should be 0.2 tower temperature above your experimental parameters...that would be a catastrophic error."

Sophia has been completely silly in there.

Because as Colin said, she knows her own research best—after a month at the latest, when the root system of the wheat seedlings penetrates one foot below the soil, a 0.2 tower temperature error will destroy all her previous efforts. do.

She was stunned for a long time.

Finally, the whole person squatted down weakly and slowly, buried his head in his knees, and began to cry.

Colin understood her mood at this time and didn't bother, leaving her to cry alone.He walked slowly towards the field.

"Have you finished measuring?" He saw that several students had put away their measuring tools.

"Yes, my lord, it's 10.8 acres in total."

"After sorting out the data and soil samples, hand them over to Anne."

"Yes."

Colin explained a few more words, and then let them continue to work.

When I turned around, I found that Sophia had stopped crying, but silently started pulling out the wheat seedlings that she had planted herself.

"Someone will take care of this tomorrow." Colin looked at her devastated look and said, "If you are really unwilling, I can help you reserve a small piece of land."

"No, I'm pretty sure they won't make it to earing."

Sophia stopped moving, straightened her waist, and after a moment of silence, said, "My lord, you guessed wrong about something."

"Oh?" Colin was curious.

"I told my mentor, His Excellency Stanley Bennett, all my thoughts and goals. He knows exactly what I want to do." Sophia's eyes became lifeless, and it was the first time she experienced the feeling of being betrayed. on such an important matter.

"Perhaps he just ignored this issue." Colin said: "What's more, magic has no borders, but magicians have borders. From the standpoint of His Excellency Bennett, he doesn't want Tulum to be strong, and there is nothing wrong with it." wrong."

Sophia smiled wryly: "During the two years I studied in the Western Continent, I heard so much of their so-called harmonious continental concept that I often wondered if our Tulun is too sensitive..."

"It's not your fault that you want to believe in people." Colin smiled and said, "Besides, the road to growth is like magic research. It will not be smooth sailing in the first place, and it is not too late to recognize the reality."

Sophia nodded, then looked at the big green patch of her hard work, and sighed: "Unfortunately, I thought it could solve the food problem in the fortress..."

"The food problem in the fortress will be solved."

Colin also turned around and looked at this large piece of land: "Two months later, the seeds cultivated from here will be sprinkled all over the fields around Twilight City, including those mountains and hills that were not suitable for planting. Before long, neither the fortress nor Winter City will have to worry about food anymore."

Ke Lin recalled that when he was experimenting with ryegrass seeds, the wheatgrass that was too vigorous in the end took over all of the senior sister's garden, causing the senior sister to have to dig up the entire garden and rebuild it.

Sophia froze for a moment, thinking that she had heard wrong.

"what do you mean……"

"Like you, I have also done some research on germ improvement. Not only wheat, but also the seeds of several other crops."

When Colin said this, he looked at her and said, "Miss Sophia, I need someone to help me with the subsequent cultivation, sowing, plowing and other processes."

"You mean..." As Sophia asked, she also realized that the lord might have come prepared.

Germ transformation needs to be specific to the soil and environment. If Colin Wayne started research after arriving here, it is obviously impossible to produce results so quickly.

"That's right, how about it, would you like to be the 'Minister of Agriculture' of the fortress?" Colin joked.

Sophia hesitated: "You really want me to help you? But... I just messed up this matter."

"Who doesn't make mistakes."

Colin laughed and said: "Besides, a magician who can master the 'Hugh Mars Grafting Method' is a rare talent anywhere... And the most important thing is that I am not familiar with magic biology. Good at it, urgently need a professional helper like you."
