Collect crowd into immortals

Chapter 83

"Since it works, shall we continue?"

"continue!"

Chen Qingzhu nodded fiercely.

Since it can be iterated, she naturally wants to find the one with the largest particles and the heaviest weight.Only in this way can the maximum effect be achieved.

Just do it!

The five brothers and sisters have a clear division of labor.

Someone cast [Grass and Tree Art] to turn the withered straw into fly ash;

Someone used the [Earth Qi Jue] to reopen the compacted soil and loosen it;
Someone used the [Imperial Object Technique] to plant the wheat seeds in the ground in an orderly manner, and took over the subsequent artificial pollination work;
Some people used the [Spring Breeze and Rain Jue] to make the wheat seeds take root and germinate and grow rapidly;
After the wheat matured, they used the [Spiritual Rice Harvesting Technique] to harvest it, and then used their spiritual sense to pick out the largest and fullest grains, and replanted them for the next round of iteration.

……

In this way, with each round of iterations, the wheat grains they obtained became larger and fuller, and when they entered the tenth round, the wheat grains produced were actually more than half the size at the beginning.

Such a feat naturally aroused the ambitions of the five brothers and sisters.

Such an achievement has been achieved after only ten rounds, then after twenty, fifty, or even a hundred rounds, will it be possible to pick out wheat that is twice, or even two or three times larger than the beginning?

By then, the mortals of the Chen family will probably no longer be short of food!

Thinking of this, the five brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled, planning to make persistent efforts and create greater glories.

But at this moment, Chen Qingshan, who was in charge of screening the good breeds, suddenly sensed something was wrong, and decisively stopped the four people who were about to continue.

"Second brother, third sister, something is wrong! Stop for a moment!"

"Something's wrong? What's wrong?"

Hearing that there was a question, the third child, Qing Zhu, hurriedly walked up to the fifth child Qingshan, and asked nervously.

It was clear that his future was bright just now, why did the fifth brother suddenly say something was wrong?

While feeling uneasy, Qingzhu also quickly comforted himself, wondering if his fifth brother had made a mistake.Or rather, just some minor issues.

However, what Qing Shan said next made her complexion change drastically.

Just listen to Qingshan say: "Third sister, look! This is our previous weight.

The first time, it was 260 catties, the second time it was 260 five catties, and until the ninth time, it was always rising.But just now, there has been a significant decline in output. "

It turned out that while the others were ripening the wheat, Chen Qingshan, who had never learned the [Spring Breeze and Rain Technique], after selecting the improved varieties, conveniently counted the total amount of grain produced in each batch.

Since the number of acres is fixed, the distance between plants and the number of seeds planted each time are also equal, so the total amount of grain calculated can be counted as the yield per mu of a unit area.

prior to.

Because the yield per mu has been rising, he didn't say much, but just now, the yield per mu actually dropped, which shocked Qingshan.

He knew the purpose of his third sister's experiment, which was to solve the food problem of the mortals in the clan, so the first time he found something abnormal, he immediately reported it!
"It really is!"

Taking the small book, Qingzhu glanced at it and found that the ninth round was the highest, reaching 290 pounds.But the tenth time, which was just the last time, I suddenly lost ten kilograms, only 280 kilograms.

You must know that the area of ​​their experimental field is about five cents.In other words, the yield per mu dropped by [-] catties at once.

This problem is not small!

Now, they are using spiritual rain to irrigate the fields, which can maximize the effect of the seeds, but this has been reduced so quickly, and if they are really handed over to mortals to plant, the reduction will be even more.It is even possible to lose fifty or sixty catties!
Thinking of the seriousness, Qingzhu's face was full of dignity!
This problem must be solved!

At this moment, Qingshan whispered again: "But it's strange to say that the particles in this tenth batch are obviously larger than those in the ninth batch. Why are they less heavy? It's really strange!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Si Qingsong's voice sounded next to him, "The particles are big, but the weight is small, which means the quantity is small!"

"The quantity is low?"

Qingshan reacted immediately, "That's right! The quantity must be small!"

"Don't rush to draw conclusions, let's count and see for ourselves!"

"That's right! Second brother is still thoughtful!"

After being reminded by the second brother Qingxuan, several people decided to count them themselves to see if it was really a matter of quantity.

The time for a stick of incense quickly passed.

With the help of their spiritual sense, they counted all the wheat in the previous ten batches.

But the result was a little different from what they had imagined, because from the third batch, the number of wheat grains began to decline, and every time after that, it would be a little less than the last time, until the tenth time, which is the last Once, the number even dropped by [-]%.

However, the particle size increased very little at this time, so the total output decreased instead.

"So that's how it is! No wonder!"

After understanding the reason, several people were a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect it to be this reason.

To be honest, if it weren't for Lao Wu Qingshan's vigilance, they might not have discovered this problem until a long time later.

At this time, the youngest Qingzhu also used his spiritual consciousness to sweep around the field.

After a while, she let out a long sigh: "It really is!"

With that said, he also personally picked a few representative ears of wheat and handed them to Qingxuan and others.

"Second brother, take a look too."

While handing things over, she sighed: "I remember that at the beginning, there were 35 and six positions on a wheat ear, but now, there are only 27 and eight left. Before, we were only busy screening the largest grains. One of them, but forgot this one! Hey!"

While she was talking, the sixth younger sister Qingyu still picked up a wheat stalk and counted them one by one.

"one two Three……"

After a while, Qingyu opened her mouth wide and exclaimed: "It's really like this! There are only 28 pits on my plant! It's a big difference!"

After finishing speaking, she asked anxiously: "Then what should we do now? Should we consider the total weight?"

Since it is not reliable to choose only from the size, it can only be selected according to the weight.

After all, this is the output!
Just being big is useless!
But if you want to calculate the weight, it seems to be difficult to do!The largest one and the one with the most results cannot represent the largest weight, which brings great trouble to the selection.

Considering this, Qingzhu frowned and thought for a moment, then decided: "Otherwise, let's do it one by one! See which one has the highest yield? The highest batch will be used for the next batch. Seed."

"This……"

Hearing this, Qing Yu's eyes suddenly widened, "Third Sister, this can't be done, right? This is too much!"

You must know that there are 10,000+ plants of wheat in the field in front of you. If they compare one by one, they will collapse sooner or later.

Even with the help of divine sense, dozens or even hundreds of plants can be compared in one breath, and it will take nearly half an hour to go through all of them.

Calculating this way, their number of iterations per day can be greatly reduced.

I can come two or three times a day, which is probably the most.

This is a far cry from the dozen or so times a day before!
Hearing Sixth Sister's complaint, Qingzhu frowned.

Also feel a little embarrassed.

In fact, she wouldn't mind if it was just her alone, but she didn't want to delay the leisure time of the rest of the people.

Just when she was frowning, the second brother Qingxuan who had been watching from the sidelines suddenly said: "Don't worry! Let's replant the ninth batch first and see the situation!"

"The ninth batch?"

Qingzhu was stunned, "Second brother, isn't the ninth batch the heaviest? Why should we plant it again? There's no need!"

In fact, not only she, but also Qingsong, Qingshan, and Qingyu beside them were also confused.

You said you were going to replant the tenth batch, but they understood that something happened to this batch, so they had to start over again just to make sure!
But for the ninth batch, this is already a thing of the past!

In response, Chen Qingxuan touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Let's give it a try. I have a guess. Is it right?"

"guess?"

"Hmm! I don't know if you just discovered it. The ninth batch and the tenth batch are different from the previous batches. There are a lot of shriveled particles, so I think there should be other problems."

"Dried particles?"

Qingzhu and the other two were stunned for a moment, and then immediately put their consciousness into the storage bag and found that it was exactly what their second brother said.

The ninth batch was okay, with only about one-tenth of the shriveled particles, but the tenth batch suddenly tripled in size, reaching three-tenths.

Logically speaking, with so many shriveled grains, the yield per mu should drop sharply, but now it has only dropped by ten catties. Several people concluded that this should be due to the continuous increase in the size of wheat grains, so they covered up this problem .

Realizing this, several people agreed with their second brother's statement.

Since the abnormality started to appear from the ninth batch, it naturally had to start from it.

Soon, the experiment begins again!
Processing straw, plowing the ground, planting, raining to ripen, artificial pollination, mature harvesting, yield statistics...

This set of procedures is exactly the same as the previous times.

But when the results came out, several people were almost shocked.Because the total weight this time is actually less than the tenth batch, only more than 180 kilograms.

"What's going on here? Why are the exact same seeds and the same process suddenly missing so much?"

Several people do not understand.

180 pounds?

Not to mention compared with the original ninth batch, it can't even compare with the original first batch.

One weighs less than 290 kilograms, and the other weighs [-] kilograms, which is almost equivalent to being cut in half.

Thinking about the first batch of 260 catties, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in the hearts of several people.

Could it be that they have been busy for a long time, and all of them have done useless work!
But after a moment, they all shook their heads and drove this terrible guess out of their minds!
It's not that I dare not admit it, but at the very beginning, the experiment has been going smoothly.As for why it became like this now, they couldn't figure it out!
After being puzzled, they looked at the thoughtful second brother Chen Qingxuan.

However, their second brother still didn't have the slightest intention to explain to them, but instead suggested: "Then let's try again!"

"Try again? Good! Then try again!"

The four Qingzhu didn't object, they agreed directly!

They also want to see what will happen next and whether production will continue to decline.

It's just that even though they had already been vaccinated in their hearts, they still couldn't believe their eyes when the output came out, because the value broke through the lower limit again, reaching 130 catties.

"130 pounds? How is it possible? How could it drop so fast?"

Regarding this result, Qingyu and the others couldn't believe it.

Obviously they didn't do any extra actions, so why are there fewer and fewer?And it dropped so fast.

This is unreasonable!
More importantly, they are still watered with spiritual rain now. If not, wouldn't they only be able to harvest seventy or eighty catties?
Wait, seven or eighty pounds?
Chen Qingzhu, who also thought of this place, suddenly had a flash of light in his mind, seven or eighty catties, and the yield per mu was more than one hundred catties. This picture is so familiar.

After a few breaths, she came to her senses and subconsciously concluded, "This is the result of not fertilizing!"

After saying that, she turned her expectant eyes to her second brother Qingxuan and asked for confirmation: "Second brother, is this true? The reason why the yield has dropped is because we did not fertilize it, right?"

"Fertilize?"

Unexpectedly, before her second brother could speak, the sixth younger sister Qingyu raised her head in doubt and asked, "Don't we have spiritual rain, and we still need to fertilize?"

Qingyu couldn't figure it out!
It is understandable that ordinary people need to fertilize the land, but haven't they already replaced it with spiritual rain? Why do they still need it?
Also, if it was really needed, why wasn't it needed before?
They have obviously tried it many times!Everything is normal!How come this time...

Regarding this, Qingxuan still said the same thing, "Then give it a try!"

Several people had no disagreement, and immediately started the next round of testing!

But it was different from before. This time, they poured all the wheat they harvested into the ground, leaving only ten kilograms of seeds for each batch.

More than [-] catties of wheat were all poured on the five-cent-sized land, and a thick layer was spread.

Like a brown carpet.

And as the [Grass and Tree Technique] operated, the carpet turned into fly ash one after another and scattered on the land.

In an instant, a layer of gray-black snow and frost formed on the ground.

The rare frost hadn't existed for long, and at the next moment, they were all buried in the soil under them and stirred evenly.

Only then did the five brothers and sisters look solemn, activated the [Object Control Technique], and started a new round of sowing.

Of course, the wheat seeds used this time are still the same as those in the ninth batch.

Digging, planting, ripening by rain, artificial pollination, mature harvesting...

But when the production statistics came out, the five brothers and sisters were stunned again.

Not because there are too few, but because there are too many.This time, the output actually rose sharply, to 420 five catties.

“420 five pounds, this is almost close to my family’s yield per mu!”

Qingzhu said so.

In her impression, the family's yield per mu is only about [-] catties, but now they can do it with only half an mu.

How can this not surprise her.

Even, ecstatic!

If this kind of wheat can be popularized, wouldn't the family's yield per mu be doubled directly?

Obviously, at this moment, she has already figured out the reason.

In fact, the breeding of wheat seeds should have produced results long ago, but due to limited fertilizers, it has not been reflected.

Now, they have decomposed more than two thousand catties of wheat into fertilizer, and the effect is naturally immediate.

After figuring this out, the brothers and sisters immediately showed happy smiles on their faces. They didn't expect to find the result so quickly.

After a moment, after calming down, the sixth sister Qingyu suddenly slapped her forehead again and reminded: "Wait a minute, isn't it enough?"

"not enough?"

"Hmm! Could it be that there is not enough fertilizer, so the potential of these seeds has not been fully developed?"

"It is possible!"

Several people thought about it.

But whether it is true or not, try again!
After thinking about it, the five brothers and sisters went to the field again, spawned several small trees the size of a fist outside, dragged them back, and disintegrated them on the ground in front of the courtyard.

According to their thinking, they are all plants anyway, and the needs of big trees and wheat are almost the same!

And the subsequent results also showed that Qingyu's guess was indeed correct!With enough fertilizer, the yield of the ninth batch of wheat seeds reached a new high, reaching 450 three kilograms.

Later, in order to prove the limit of these wheat seeds, they sacrificed dozens of small trees and conducted many experiments, but found that the yield of half an acre was always hovering around 450 jin.

In other words, the limit of this batch of wheat seeds is so much!

During the process, they even conducted experiments with the most primitive wheat seeds, and found that with enough fertilizer, its yield would increase significantly, and the limit of half an acre even reached [-] catties.

That is to say, the yield per mu is [-] catties.

In this regard, Qingzhu from the farm had to sigh, "It turns out that it's all because of the fertilizer!"

They have indeed succeeded in selecting and breeding improved seeds, but if the fertility in the soil remains the same as usual, the effect will not be obvious at all.

290 catties and 450 catties, there is a huge difference between them!
But even so, the five brothers and sisters did not stop.

The issue of soil fertility will be discussed later.

What they want to know now is, what is the maximum yield per mu of wheat when fertility is sufficient?
In other words, what is the limit of what they can do?
