Chapter 200 Gene Bank
Locke said to Witch Sophia: "Teacher, then I will go to the gene bank."
Witch Sophia was slightly surprised. "Gene bank? Oh, where are you going to buy seeds? The public gene bank in Lilith's cabin is really good and very good."
"There are a large number of experimental seeds saved there." Witch Sophia said: "I still have several exchange rights for the gene bank. Limited, I will give you a second-level seed exchange permission and a third-level seed exchange permission. "
"These permissions are of no use in my hands. You can use these permissions to exchange for some magic planting seeds for free, and use those seeds to do some experiments."
Witch Sophia took out two application forms from the drawer of her office, both of which had the seal of Lilith Cottage Academy stamped on them.
Locke was slightly surprised.
Have he heard that the germplasm bank is a germplasm storage bank shared by all breeders in Lilith Cabin, and its redemption rights must be redeemed with contribution points.
Just the third-level seed redemption permission is very expensive.
Not to mention, the second-level seed exchange authority.
It seems that in addition to using contribution points to redeem, you can only complete some special academy tasks, or get special academy title rewards, which will bring you the authority to redeem some germplasm resources for free.
Hence, the free exchange rights for the germplasm bank in Lilith's cabin is definitely worth getting.
General wizard tutors have many students. Even if they provide some benefits to the students, it is impossible for one student to be allocated too many such exchange rights.
But because Witch Sophia currently has only herself as a first-class wizard apprentice student, and she is about to leave, so she is more generous than before.
After Locke thanked Witch Sophia, he took two stamped application forms, rode Engel's Whirlwind Snail, and headed to the location of the germplasm bank in the port city.
The germplasm bank of Lilith's hut is located five hundred meters underground.
Here we invited the [Constructor] from the earth magic sub-direction of the Shaping School to use earth element magic to build an underground palace building underground to store a large number of seeds from the breeders.
There are many alchemy cabins inside the underground palace building.
The entrance is guarded by specialized second-class wizard apprentices or even first-class wizard apprentices.
After all, gene banks are very important.
Many standard models of magic plants still need to be preserved in a germplasm bank.
Once a large number of magic fields in Lilith's cabin are destroyed and a large number of magic plants are destroyed, a germplasm bank may be needed to restore these destroyed magic plants.
Locke walked to the entrance, and after passing the review, he stepped onto a mine ladder made of steel and wood.
After the "bang" sound, the steel rope on the mine ladder began to gradually rotate, lowering the mine ladder platform.
Accompanying Locke is a female wood elf second-class wizard apprentice. She has green hair and a pair of bright eyes under her flowing hairstyle.
At this time, the wood elf apprentice named Ruby was looking at Locke with admiration, as well as the outstanding apprentice badge and official breeder badge worn on Locke's chest.
For the wood elves who admire nature, becoming a breeder is simply their lifelong dream.
Ruby said to Locke in a respectful tone: "Senior Augustine, welcome to our germplasm bank."
"There are many seeds of magic plants stored in the gene bank. Some magic plants no longer exist outside due to environmental changes. "
"The temperature and air humidity in the seed bank have maintained a certain value. The most important thing for preserving magic plant seeds is the temperature and air humidity of the air."
"Different magic plant seeds must maintain specific temperatures and humidity, so There is a large weather controller underneath, which is used to maintain the temperature of the gene bank and the special temperatures of each room. Ruby obviously wanted to show Locke her professional knowledge, so she kept talking.
Ruby said with reverence: "So I will ask you to go to the drying room later to dry your clothes to prevent the moisture you carry from causing changes in the humidity in the air."
I really want to become a breeder like you. I have failed the breeder's assistant exam three times, and every time I took the theoretical test, my performance was very poor. I really want to become a breeder like you. I have failed three times.
Locke frowned slightly when he heard this. He originally didn't want to say too much and get involved in her life, but when he heard that she had failed the exam three times, he finally couldn't help but said: "There are too many loopholes in your basic theory."
"It is very normal that you cannot pass the theory test of the breeder's assistant. I want to correct you on two points. First, the constant temperature and constant humidity in the germplasm room are indeed very important, but more importantly, the constant magic tidal gradient." It must be within a certain range. If the humidity is high, the seeds will germinate. If the humidity is low, the water inside the seeds will continue to dehydrate, destroying the structural water inside the seeds and causing the seeds to die. "
"But the main reason why I go to the drying room is to make the temperature on my body consistent with the temperature inside the germplasm room, because a temperature change of more than 2 degrees Celsius will shorten the life of the seeds by at least 50%."
"So, everyone who enters the germplasm room needs to enter the drying room once, for the purpose of balancing temperature and moisture." Ruby blushed. She didn't expect that she just wanted to show off her professionalism in front of the official breeder, but she just said a few words, but actually made so many mistakes.
Locke’s commanding guidance, in just a few words, wiped away all the errors within the knowledge system she had mentioned before, making her more clear and understanding of her work in the gene bank.
Ruby gratefully said to Locke: "Thank you, Augustine Breeder. You are right. From this point of view, there are indeed too many loopholes in my theoretical system."
"Instead of the theoretical part of the Breeder's Assistant Examination which is very difficult, I will work harder in this aspect."
"Thank you for reminding me, your words today are very helpful to me."
At this time, the mine ladder shaft made a huge "bang" sound, and it was obvious that they were already five hundred meters underground.
All the rocks in this underground seem to have been blessed by earth magic and are very hard, and there should be a lot of special magic materials researched by alchemists used on them to reinforce the underground building again.
I am afraid that ordinary wizard wars cannot threaten this impregnable germplasm bank.
Locke walked out of the mine ladder and saw that there were many rooms and tunnels in this underground space. Each room was sealed with magic alloy doors and magic locks from the School of Protection.
The passage is illuminated by a magic miner's lamp.
Locke also looked down and saw that about a hundred meters below the hollow iron platform under his feet, there was a huge super-large weather control device that had been activated.
This weather controller is controlling the temperature and humidity in the gene bank, and even the gradient of the magic energy tide.
Hence, the storage of agricultural products is extremely troublesome and the cost is very high.
Locke suddenly thought about it. Zach wanted to keep a hundred acres of the magic field of the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus without an order.
This is simply nonsense.
Loke walked out of the mine shaft, and he saw that in some rooms without doors in the underground building, there were some second-class wizard apprentices, sifting and processing seeds.
There are also some more common seeds, which are placed on iron shelves in public rooms.
Those shelves are filled with boxes and translucent petri dishes. In the petri dishes, there are particles of different sizes and colors, but they are all very beautiful in appearance, like magic seeds of various colored gems.
Locke asked: "Where is the redemption seed area for the second-level and third-level permissions? Take me there."
"I need to exchange."
