Chapter 177 Accurate Measurement of Effects of Special Fertilizers

Time passed by like this, and the rice seedlings on both sides were also stretched to their heart's content under the urging of the spiritual rain.

Seeing that the rice seedlings were still green during the growth process, several people felt relieved. It seemed that it should have some effect.

It turned out that several people actually used magic to give birth to plants in clear water before, but it was very different from the crazy growth of plants on land. In clear water, when Lingyu just came into contact with plants, the plants would indeed grow wildly for a little bit, but the problem immediately disappeared. Appeared.

Either the leaves of the plant start to turn yellow, the new branches and new leaves are particularly small, or the roots and stems suddenly die.

And if it is replaced by the supernatant mixed with soil, then this situation will occur later, and some may even wait until the flowering and fruiting stage before problems occur.

At this time, everyone in the research team discovered that the rice seedlings on both sides of the experiment did not appear in the previous conditions, how could they be unhappy.

If all goes well, wouldn't they have found what has been bothering them all this time, replacing soil and fertilizer in some way.

It's just a pity that several people seem to be happy too early.

Not long after the experiment started, less than ten seconds later, Chen Changwu, who was in charge of [Thunder and Lightning Technique], gave a sweet shout.

"There is a situation! I have a situation here!"

Hearing this, several people were immediately distracted. While continuing the operation just now, they turned their attention to the training tank that Chen Changwu was in charge of.

At this time, in her cultivation tank, the leaves of the rice seedlings had begun to turn yellow, and the growth rate was also slowing down.

But you must know that the current rice seedlings have not reached the upper limit of growth at all, and the spiritual rain in the sky has not stopped, so their growth speed should not be slowed down, but this phenomenon has indeed occurred, so the only one The explanation is that the previous situation reappeared.

Again the rice seedlings lacked something special.

but……

Several people looked up at the top of the protective shield. The thunder and lightning there were still shining, and Chen Changge's [Wind Control Technique] continued to mix the air above into the cultivation tank below.

In this way, is the lightning technique not enough, or...

Just as they were thinking about it, an anxious voice came from Chen Changman's side: "I can't do it either!"

Chen Changge and others took a closer look and found that the rice seedlings here were indeed in the same condition as before - the leaves were yellow, the branches were thin, and they no longer grew.

Seeing this, Xu Wenhui immediately recorded the time of the problem, the height of the rice seedlings, the width of the rice seedlings and other characteristics.

"Don't relax, wait until the end withers."

After another twenty breaths, when all the rice seedlings withered and died, everyone finally released the spell.

Lightning disappears, shield opens.

The cultivation tank protected in it was exposed.

But before everyone had time to take the next step, suddenly, an unspeakable smell came from the front, Chen Changwu couldn't hold it back, and even sneezed.

"What a strange smell! It smells so bad!"

"I don't know! Anyway, my mana suddenly moved, it should be harmful to us!"

"It's mine too! I haven't noticed it if you don't tell me."

"It should be caused by the [Thunder and Lightning Technique] just now! I have never found this situation before, this time we only have one more."

"It seems to be the same! But it's not right, I have used lightning spells before, and it doesn't produce any unpleasant smell at all."

"Maybe... we used too much this time!"

"Okay! But that thing just now is obviously harmful to us. Is it really okay for these rice seedlings to absorb it?"

Chen Changwu was a little skeptical.

Plants and people are both living beings, so what is harmful to them will also have a bad impact on the rice seedlings.Maybe the rice seedlings were suffocated to death by this smell.

"Probably not! At first they grew quite well."

"Is that right?"

"I do not know either!"

Chen Changman shook his head.

She has just started researching, so how can she know this.

The two were talking, when the voice of the elder sister-in-law came from the side.

"Okay, stop nagging, come and help!"

"I'm coming!"

Soon, several people took out the weighing pan one after another, took out each rice seedling, and weighed them.

After waiting, they used spells to remove the water from the rice seedlings and weighed them again. They called the last step dry weight.

After some busy work, several people looked at the data on the paper thoughtfully:
"On average, the Changwu group began to wither and turn yellow after growing six to three breaths, and grew a total of [-] inches taller during this process...

As for Changman's group, they started to wither and turn yellow at [-]:[-] a.m., and grew a total of [-] inches in height during this process...

Before [Lightning Technique] was used, the same rice seedlings would appear at about [-] breaths and grow [-] inches in height.

After twenty breaths, the rice seedlings were completely withered and yellow. The first group continued to grow [-] inches taller, the second group grew [-] inches taller, compared with [-] inches taller before.

……

In addition, in terms of dry weight, the dry weight of the first group increased by [-] taels, and that of the second group increased by [-] taels. Before the lightning technique, it was about [-] taels. "(twenty total strains)

"Well, it seems that the effect is quite obvious!"

Xu Wenhui smiled and nodded.

When they didn't use [Lightning Technique] before, even if the plants in clear water could indeed grow a little bit, most of them were water. Once the water was removed, the dry weight growth would be almost negligible.

Now, although it is true that they have not been able to completely cultivate the plants, they have seen hope.

The dry weight is there, which proves that the plant is indeed growing.

And this also seems to prove that the [Lightning Technique] did produce some kind of substance that is beneficial to the growth of plants.

Now, all they have to do is figure out how much of this substance does a plant need?Is this the only one you need, or are there others?

In addition, is this substance also needed by other plants, not just rice seedlings?

Also, what exactly is this substance, and why can it be produced through lightning?
One more thing, can this plant cultivated through thunder and lightning be eaten?How are they different from normal plants?
In short, there are many, many problems here, and several people in the research team did not neglect, and immediately started the next round of research.

"Now, what we need to figure out is the first question. Did the rice seedlings stop growing just now because there was not enough of this substance? Or, in other words, was the density of the lightning technique too small and the substance produced was simply not enough to absorb? ?
Long song, long man, long dance, let's continue! "

"Yes, sister-in-law!"

Several people responded with high spirits.

After such a long period of research, they finally saw hope. They naturally did not neglect at all, but regrouped and started the experiment again.

Everything is business as usual, and rice seedlings are still born.

The clear water is the ordinary lake water of Xiyi Lake; the rice seedlings have just been cultivated uniformly, and their growth levels are not bad; as for the protective cover and the water tank, they are naturally exactly the same as before.

The only difference is the density of [Lightning Art].

Thanks to Dacheng Realm's further control over spells, it is natural for them to control the density of lightning with ease.

Within a certain range, it can be as big as you want, and as small as you want it to be.

Thanks to this, it didn't take long for the research team to measure the lightning density they could reach.

But at this moment, several people looked at the data on the paper but frowned.

"How could this be? It shouldn't be!"

When they first started the experiment, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the greater the density of thunder and lightning, the more lush the rice in the culture tank would grow. Not only that, as the density of lightning increased, the rice leaves began to turn yellow. The time is getting delayed further and further, and the final plant height and dry weight that can be achieved are developing towards a good place.

But the good times don't last long. When the density of the lightning technique reaches a certain stage, the growth of the plant will be as if it has been finalized, and it will no longer be affected by the lightning technique.

They even discovered that when the lightning density increases to a certain stage, the greater lightning density will actually have a counterproductive effect. That is, the greater the lightning density, the worse the rice growth will be.

This is so strange!

It's fine if you don't speed up, and it will have a counterproductive effect. How can this make everyone in the research team reconciled.

But no matter how they experimented, the results they got were actually the same.

And during the process, they tested hundreds of rice seedlings, but none of them ever grew to maturity.

Not even one headed and flowered.

How could this make a few people unhappy?

Obviously, I was about to see hope, but suddenly I was stuck again.

"It seems that there should be other factors!"

By the Xiyi Lake, Xu Wenhui looked thoughtfully at the rice seedlings that had just begun to wither and turn yellow once again.

"Sister-in-law means that there are many kinds of substances needed for rice seedlings, and we only found one of them?"

Thinking of all the previous experiments, Chen Changge also nodded thoughtfully.

Among other things, when the lightning density reached its maximum effect, the thunder and lightning in the sky did not stop. It was clear that some kind of substance was still being produced, but the rice seedlings eventually withered and turned yellow and stopped growing.

Even, when they cancel the spiritual rain that can give birth, the rice seedlings will still die soon.

This is enough to show that there should be other factors limiting the growth of rice seedlings.

And considering that the rice seedlings produced by this method will be smaller than normal, and they will not be able to take ears and bloom.This seems to be more clear - the substance produced by lightning is only one of the substances needed by rice seedlings.

Afterwards, they also verified this with the soil supernatant combined with the lightning technique.

With the cooperation of the soil supernatant, the rice seedlings can grow up, head, and even bloom and bear fruit smoothly.

It's just that it may be limited by the serious lack of other substances in the supernatant, so the chances of flowering and bearing fruit are low, and the fruiting is particularly small.

But this is enough to show that the substances produced by lightning alone are not enough to make plants mature smoothly.

At least, that's the case with rice.

In order to confirm whether this substance is required by all plants, the research team also managed to cultivate dozens of other plants.

It turned out that relying on this substance alone would indeed allow plants to grow to a certain extent, but depending on the plant species and the different growth stages, the growth degree of each plant is not normal.

For example, when it comes to the stage of flowering and fruiting, as long as only this substance is absorbed, the petals of the plant will directly wither and fall off.

The fruit that is bearing will also stop growing directly, or even fall directly to the ground.

On the contrary, if it is in the long-leaf stage, it will usually not be affected too much.At least, it's not a problem to hold on for a while.

Once, Chen Changman even poured the water mixed with the substance on the growing corn field, only to find that the leaves of the corn turned greener in just one night.

And when she ripened the corn, she discovered that the yield per mu of the corn field had increased by more than half.

You know, this is something that a carload of dung can't do, and she just poured a few basins of water into it.

As soon as it came out at this time, it immediately attracted the attention of other members of the group.

After a period of exploration and experimentation, they finally confirmed that they should have produced some kind of very special fertilizer. This fertilizer has great effects on the leaf-growing and stem-growing stages of the plant, and on the rest of the flowering and fruiting stages. , it is also very effective during the rooting and germination stage.

"However, it's not without its disadvantages!"

In the field, Chen Changge watched an earthworm struggling painfully in the soil and sighed silently.

In her perception, after the earthworm was splashed with that special water, its life breath suddenly became much smaller.Then, as time passed and as it struggled to breathe in the soil, the breath of the earthworm became weaker and weaker.

After a stick of incense, the earthworm's breath of life completely disappeared from her senses.

What made Chen Changge sigh even more was that this phenomenon was not an isolated case.

All kinds of small animals in the fields, including earthworms, cockroaches, crickets, and ants, could not escape this disaster.

Even rats and snakes with particularly strong survival abilities cannot withstand high-concentration special fertilizers.

Chen Changwu, who is very curious, even tested it himself, and found that the high concentration of special fertilizer could even burn her skin without mana protection.

And even if you don't touch it, you can even feel a dull pain in your nose and throat just by sniffing it.

This is true for her, not to mention the smaller animals.

It's good if you don't peel off a layer of skin immediately.

"Let's store it for now! When we find a solution, we can reopen it."

In view of this, there is no way, Xu Wenhui can only announce that it will be sealed.

Although this special fertilizer is indeed useful, it is so harmful that it is best not to promote it on a large scale.

More importantly, they also discovered something particularly bad.

That is, once this special fertilizer is applied to the field, the effect of these fertilizers will be greatly weakened when farmyard manure, plant ash, and plant fly ash are applied again.

As far as the current situation is concerned, due to the limitation of special fertilizers, it can only provide one or several ingredients needed by plants, and the combination of other fertilizers is absolutely indispensable, so applying it is equivalent to destroying the field.

Xu Wenhui and others, as the spiritual planters of the family, naturally cannot do such immoral things.

The family's fields were cultivated with great effort by the tribesmen. Once this special fertilizer is used, it will be destroyed forever. How can they be willing to do so.

In fact, even if they were willing, the family would definitely not agree.

Yes, the Chen family does not need so much land now, but even if it is left uncultivated, it is better than destroyed.

The spiritual planters of the family are now willing to produce food for the ordinary people, but if one day they are unwilling, will they have to reopen these farmlands.

You ruined this, what will the people eat then?
Do you drink northwest wind?
