Chapter 553 Nutritional Soil Science
Locke thought about whether he would have any plans to purchase rings of the four elements of wind, water, fire, and earth in the near future, but he denied it.
Because buying one of the rings is of no use, and buying a complete set costs 800,000 magic stones.
Although I have a deposit of 1.2 million and can still earn 160,000 magic stones every month, I have to use the three major three-ring magic weapons and mirrors at least 35 times for the second-class Zhenzhiyuan fund project.
Since this project is currently owned by me, Mason Witch and the others help me do research and use the magic mirror, and I should also pay the usage fee of 20,000 magic stones.
During the research process, he is still using the acre of magic field on the top of the Dahongshan banyan tree to synthesize and discover new action mechanism pathways and new natural magic structural components.
In other words, in the future, I will need to use the magic mirror more and more times in this project.
It will cost at least 700,000 magic stones now, and it will only cost more in the future.
Him himself should also keep 200,000 magic stones as a backup in case there is any sudden need to spend money.
Hence, for now, I definitely don’t have the money to spend 800,000 magic stones to buy a four-element ring.
I am barely rich, and there will be plenty of money to use in the future.
What about a loan?
Locke thought for a while. If he wanted to plant the seeds of the Ancient Tree of Life in the Druid Ring as soon as possible, he could go to the Goblin Family Bank in the Dragon Blood Market and get some loans.
Of course, in this white wizard society, as long as an official wizard wants to borrow money and make a loan, there will be countless ways.
Money is an item that allocates resources, so in the white wizard society, money-related industries will be extremely developed.
In this plantation, Alsace can provide many things needed for farming for free.
Locke found an ordinary first-level wizard staff member in Alsace in the plantation, and said to him: "I need first-level nutrient soil and nutrient solution, as well as fast-growing hormones."
This ordinary staff member of the First Ring said to Locke: "Hello, Augustine Breeder, the supervisor has asked me to provide you with the resources you need to backcross the Hydra Demonic Plant. I just don't know, do you need to prepare your own nutrient soil, or use the nutrient soil prepared by other breeders?"
Locke said: "Prepare the nutrient soil by yourself? Do you need to prepare the nutrient soil in Yunze Wetland yourself?"
A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of this ordinary one-ring wizard. Breeders who cooperate with the Alsace Shop Alliance rarely ask such basic questions.
But he immediately thought of something, and the arrogance that had just arisen in his heart quickly disappeared, and instead he became more respectful.
"You are just coming to our Yunze Wetland. You are really young and promising. There are very few wizards. You can just come to Yunze Wetland and your works can be cooperated with our Alsace Store Alliance for commercial development."
This first-level wizard patiently said Explained: "In Yunze Wetland, the paradise of breeders, we have perfect nutrient soil science. For example, this level of nutrient soil, other wizards must put a bunch of trace elements needed by plants into the nutrient soil, and irrigate it with excessive magical energy."
"But in Yunze Wetland, we have to do more than just that. We have a lot of basic research, and among those trivial basic research, we found that different magic plants require different trace elements, and the specific mechanisms of the growth environment are also different. So many formulas of nutrient soil have been produced."
"This can reduce the unnecessary consumption of magic resources and allow the magic plants to grow better." Locke nodded slightly. He had been here for four and a half months and updated a lot of knowledge and learned a lot of things. He had just entered the Emerald Dream and completed the project a few days ago. Time was tight, so many details were not perfected by himself.
Previously, when I planted two acres of magic fields, because I planted ordinary one-ring pineapples, or even apprentice-level pineapples, I didn’t need to use nutrient soil at all.
Furthermore, when I went to the store to buy nutrient soil, I just said, "Boss, I want nutrient soil." 』
Then, the boss threw himself a bag of nutritious soil and took away a thousand magic stones from him.
Thinking about it now, it was basically the store owner who glanced up and down at him, made an automatic judgment for himself, and threw himself a bag of universal version of nutrient soil.
Locke coughed and secretly glanced at his two students. Their two students had no expression at all, as if they had seen nothing.
Locke said: "I see. I have indeed only been in Yunze Wetland for four months, and I have just joined Golden Mian Mountain."
Locke, after hearing this, immediately became more respectful to Locke.
Although Locke does not understand these small details for the time being, it is not something that an ordinary wizard like him can touch.
A wizard who can cross the wizard land and join the wizard organization in Yunze Wetland must have excellent abilities.
Otherwise, he would not be able to break through the restrictions of the Wizarding Land and join the Wizarding Academy in the Land of Misawa.
For example, he himself, because he could not find a teaching position at the wizard college and was unwilling to leave the land of Sanze and develop in other wizard lands, so he could only join the shop alliance and become a senior employee here.
The first-level wizard whispered: "That's it. Let me briefly explain these things to you. The Augustine breeder himself will soon understand these things."
"It is my honor to explain it to an excellent breeder like you."
“There are generally eight types of nutrient soil in Yunze Wetland, which are divided into general nutrient soil—basically mixed with peat soil, perlite, and humus from green manure magic plants and wind-fixing elemental magic plants, and then mixed with the [Plant Nutrition Potion] prepared by the magicians in a ratio of 7:3.”
"Characteristics are balanced fertility, water retention and breathability."
"There are also dry magic plant nutrient soil, moist magic plant nutrient soil, nursery magic plant nutrient soil, flowering magic plant nutrient soil, woody magic plant nutrient soil, herbaceous magic plant nutrient soil, and vine magic plant nutrient soil."
This ordinary first-level wizard patiently explained: "But these eight categories are only used in the most common situations. Some special magic plants require special nutrient soil. For example, orchid-type magic plants that grow on the surface of rocks and trees cannot use these eight types of nutrient soil and need to prepare their own nutrient soil."
"There are many special magic plants that need to be planted in high-temperature environments, and they also need to prepare their own special nutrient soil."
"So, understanding these eight types of nutrient soil is just an introduction."
Locke nodded slightly. There is indeed a lot to learn in Yunze Wetland.
For example, I should quickly keep up with the nutritional soil science related to my old profession, breeder.
There are more types of magic plants in Yunze Wetland, and the level of magic plants is higher, so the corresponding nutrient soil science and nutrient solution science will naturally be more complicated.
Locke did not pretend to understand, but directly asked the Alsace staff member: "So, can vine-type nutrient soil be used for vine-type magic plants?"
An ordinary first-level wizard was stunned for a moment. "If it is a soil-grown magic vine, it can indeed be used if it has no special requirements for high or low temperatures."
"The core of making these eight categories of universal nutrient soil is actually to look at the drainage needs, acid-base needs and ventilation needs of these magic plants, as well as the magic element needs of the magic plants."
"Just look at these four needs."
"But in Yunze Wetland, theoretically, each magic plant can have its own specialized nutrient soil and nutrient solution. But this requires a lot of basic research on this magic plant, and collecting the various properties of this magic plant from many aspects, and what it needs."
"Then, you can make exclusive nutrient soil."
Locke nodded slightly, which meant that he might be able to buy Haijinsha's special nutrient soil and nutrient solution in Yunze Wetland, but he could not buy Hydra's special nutrient soil and nutrient solution.
Hydra is a brand new magic plant, while Haijinsha is a magic plant that has been around for a long time.
This ordinary first-level wizard said: "So, generally speaking, our breeders here will try to prepare their own nutrient soil and nutrient solution for magic plants, if that kind of magic plant is very meaningful to them."
「而藤本类魔植营养土，主要用40%的一环魔植的腐叶土和30%地心岩，以及20%的赤地冬青的树皮腐土，以及10%塔尔塔洛斯地穴虫的排泄物，再加上魔药师制作的【植物营养药剂】配比而成。」
「主要特点是透气、保水，支撑性强。」
The first-level wizard said: "So, we have nutrient soil breeders here, who are plant nutritionists who specially prepare nutrient soil for those breeders."
Locke nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. From the description of the first-level wizard, he already understood that the vine-like magic plant nutrient soil can be used to cultivate Hydra.
After all, the so-called professional nutrient soil for each type of magic plant is just the icing on the cake. The general vine type magic plant nutrient soil alone is actually completely sufficient.
You must know that in other wizard lands, there may be only one type of nutrient soil, but in Yunze Wetland, there are eight types of general nutrient soil.
This is impossible. It is a kind of magic plant that came from the outside world and became squeamish when it arrived at Yunze Wetland.
It is because Yunze Wetland, in the process of long-term involution and pursuit of performance and learning, the pursuit of the quality of magic plants and the pursuit of efficiency in cultivating magic plants have reached an extremely exaggerated level.
But Hydra Magic Plant is its own work, and there should be no similar competitors at present. Therefore, it is a blue ocean market, not a red ocean market.
There is no need to roll up like this.
Therefore, there is no need to follow what the ordinary first-level wizard in front of me said, find someone, or make a special version of nutrient soil for the Hydra Demonic Plant yourself.
This is just a waste of time and money.
Specialized version of nutrient soil actually does not increase efficiency much.
Especially in the blue ocean market, there is no need to get involved to such an extent.
Locke said: "Then give me 3 tons of nutrient soil for vine-like magic plants, 1 ton of nutrient solution for vine-like magic plants, and 500 kilograms of King Oxhorn Mushroom fast-growing hormone."
Ordinary fast-growing hormones are extracted from fluorescent moss. This fast-growing hormone can no longer meet the fast-growing needs of a ring of magic plants. Therefore, breeders have found the king horn mushroom, a special fungus magic plant that is as big as a house and has the ability to quickly self-repair and astonishing reproduction capabilities.
Hymph Breeders have extracted several natural magical structural ingredients that are key to its rapid self-repair and strong reproductive capacity, and mixed them into the King's Horn Mushroom Fast-growing Vitamin.
In addition, this plantation has its own dragon crystal ecological dome. It can be said that with these things, as long as you do not encounter any special insect pests and magical fungus disasters, basically, any kind of Hydra magic plant can grow.
The ordinary first-level wizard quickly brought these things with the astral ring, and Locke asked two students to pick up shovels and work in the ground. They dug out a deep pit with shovels, and then filled the deep pit with the mixed soil composed of nutrient solution, nutrient soil and fast-growing hormone prepared by Locke.
Next, Locke asked two disgraced apprentices to come out of the magic field, and then plant a Hydra plant in every acre of magic field.
Locke watched the two students working in the fields and said in his heart: "The first-class magic plant is too delicate and requires a first-class wizard apprentice to plant it for me." 』
However, I am also responsible for guiding them in the game, so each can take what he needs. 』
『Not considered a slave owner. 』
Locke said to Gregor and Williams: "You two deal with it first, I will use the rapid growth later. Hurry up. I want to hand over the first batch of Hydra magic plants within today."
Locke wants to use the seeds of the Hydra magic plants to grow whether The same Hydra magic plants are then used to crossbreed with these magic plants, and then new seeds are obtained, and then planted out. This cycle is repeated several times. By about the sixth generation, if the planted Hydra magic plants do not show trait variation or degradation, then the traits are considered to be stable.
You can sell it directly by yourself.
This is also Alsace's requirement for itself. After all, Alsace does not want to continue to sell products, and suddenly there will be problems with the products, which will lead to customer disputes.
Of course, Alsace also provided the money and resources he paid for himself.
"The Hydra Demonic Plant that needs to be used for self-breeding does not need to be a real adult." Locke thought: "Just like when I developed the Hydra Demonic Plant, we did not use a real adult, we only needed to use a fast-growing body."
It is a state of pushing back the seedlings and encouraging their growth.
But you only need to ensure that the sixth-generation Hydra Demonic Plant can become a normal adult. Then the normal adult form of the sixth-generation Hydra Demonic Plant will still have traits that are close to those of the Hydra Demonic Plant in your hand, even if the traits are stable.
You can obtain a certificate of sale issued by the Alsatian Shop Alliance.
Whether it is special nutrient soil or backcrossing, they are all special regulations of Yunze Wetland. In Yunze Wetland, a fertile soil for cultivating breeders, the sale of magic plant works seems to have become much stricter than in the southeast corner area and the land of six towers.
One day later, Gregor was so tired that he sat on the ground. In order to maintain his appearance, Williams naturally could not sit on the ground and could only stand on the spot.
Locke, as a tutor, is naturally spotless. Unfortunately, the two students were led around by Locke.
Locke took out two stools from the astral ring and gave them to sit on them. "You guys sit down."
The two students immediately looked at Locke gratefully.
Locke, on the other hand, watched with satisfaction as ten fast-growing adult seedlings of the Hydra magic plant sprouted out of his magic circle [Rapid Growth].
They are basically in a stunted state, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, they just need to have the ability to reproduce and produce seeds.
If you want to completely cultivate the six-generation Hydra Demonic Plant, even if you give yourself one million, let alone a mere 100,000 self-funded funds, it will not be enough.
To do scientific research is to learn to save money in any gaps.
That's why Locke felt just now that configuring special soil for magic plants was completely inconsistent with his needs.
What kind of status do I have now? I need to be so precise.
Thinking about it carefully, maybe the first-level wizard didn't understand the ways of Zhenzhiyuan, and many of the wizards he came into contact with were second-level wizards. After all, Alsace's biggest cooperation partners were still second-level wizards.
Hence, many of the suggestions he gave himself were the habits of second-level wizards and were not suitable for him at the moment.
Locke collected seeds from these fast-growing Hydra demonic plants, and because of the use of spawning magic, he hurt this wave of Hydra demonic plants again.
Locke said to the two of them: "You two are tired and dig out these fast-growing magic plants, being careful not to damage the roots. I only need to do some enchantment treatment on these fast-growing magic plants to make them unable to retain seeds, and then I can sell them and recover the cost."
Gregor didn't even think about refusing and immediately got up from the ground. "Okay, teacher."
Williams showed an expression that was about to cry, but she quickly corrected her attitude and said to Locke: "I know, teacher."
Williams glanced at Locke secretly, full of expectations in her heart, and Locke said, "It's getting late, let's go back and rest first." 』
Turning back, he found that Locke had taken out a pen and paper and was calculating the number of self-crossing generations. He also used the concentration monocle and the small breeder's equipment provided in the plantation, the differential magic mirror, to simply observe the characteristics of these fast-growing Hydra magic plants to see if any changes were found.
After all, just doing a backcross to stabilize the shape will definitely not be the three magic mirrors of large breeder equipment.
I would like to take it, but I guess the team leader won’t approve it.
That's a cannon to fight mosquitoes.
· Williams secretly asked Gregor, "Isn't our teacher from the southeast corner?"
· Gregor, who was carefully shoveling the soil around the roots of the magic vines, was stunned for a moment, "Yes, what's wrong?"
· Williams whispered: "Do you still have to say this to me? The two of us. He has been working for a whole day, and it is almost midnight now. "
"Teacher, how do you adapt to the rhythm of Yunze Wetland so quickly?" Williams raised her forehead. She originally thought that after she was assigned to a wizard from the outside world, she would be able to stay away from 007.
But the familiar recipe and the familiar taste are here.
Gregor glanced at Locke secretly with some fear. "Teacher, I am also working."
Locke frowned slightly when he heard them talking, and suddenly remembered that he was a ring crystal wizard, the first transcender, and his body and spirit were far beyond his apprentice.
Hence, there is a serious difference between my own perception and that of my apprentice.
Tiredness for oneself and tiredness for apprentices are two different concepts.
As a first-level wizard, I am afraid that I will be so tired that the two of them will die from exhaustion several times.
It was my own mistake not to notice this.
Locke said: "You two go back and rest."
"I still have to work here. You two go back first and come back at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
"By the way, when you go back in the evening, take a look at the information I gave you." Locke, in order to prevent The two of them relaxed and said: "I have already registered you two." , the third round is the main competition. "
"You should prepare for the first round first. If you can get a good ranking, it can help you get the title of wizard candidate seed in breeding and breeding star, as well as some special rewards from Golden Mian Mountain. If you rank well, you can even get an opportunity to enter the wizard's secret realm at the apprentice level. "
Speaking of the opportunity to enter the wizard's secret realm, the two of them were shocked again.
No one wants to enter the wizard's secret realm. Anyone who enters the wizard's secret realm will be greatly improved after coming out. Everyone can see this.
After the two left, Locke looked at his magic field and began to think deeply.
Humistically, I have tested that the self-crossing of the Hydra Demonic Plant is very successful, and there is basically no character degradation. I only need to select some of the seeds of the Demonic Plant that may have problems, and continue the experiment with the seeds of the Hydra Demonic Plant that have stably inherited the traits.
Hydra magic plant will soon be available for sale as a commodity.
If the Hydra Magic Plant can be sold, it can further alleviate the problem of lack of scientific research funds.
With a large amount of scientific research funds, I might be able to do something, perhaps beyond the expectations of Witch Ekaterina.
But now there is another problem.
"If I can turn the Hydra into a three-headed snake, I can further increase the sales rate of the product, which will be of great benefit to me."
Loke thought for a moment. "But even if you use a synthetic Rubik's Cube, combined with the grafting cultivation method or the magic co-frequency cultivation method, or the finite element cultivation method, you still need some funds to develop subspecies."
But I am really short of money. Now, with this money, it can be used to fund the second-class project of Zhenzhiyuan, which is very good.
"Scientific research is really expensive. I still have some money. Wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable for those researchers who have no extra money and can only rely on the 10,000 magic stone subsidy from Zhenzhi Institute every month to start scientific research." Locke said: "Forget it, if you can rip off Alsace's money, let's rip off Alsace's money."
"I'll directly ask the wizards here for money. As long as they don't refuse, I'll pretend not to know."
This is all to get some research funds.
If you can make a fortune, make a mistake first.
Locke already has three ideas for the three-headed snake. One is to graft the hydra with short-headed magic vines, using its specificity to suppress the multi-headed characteristics of the hydra.
One is to use magic inhibitors to suppress the side heads of the Hydra Demonic Plant so that it cannot develop.
The third one is to use the magic co-frequency cultivation method.
Of course, these can all be accelerated by using a synthetic Rubik's Cube.
At that time, a witch in the first-ring crystallization stage walked into the plantation, looked around the area, and found Locke among the formal wizards working in the plantation. "Hello, are you Locke Augustine? I am the brand operator assigned to you by Alsace."
"I am responsible for carrying out special operations for your Hydra, as well as related business. I am here this time to communicate with you."
"Please rest assured, I am a professional brand operator. My subordinates have been responsible for the operation of hundreds of magic plants and have rich operational experience. I also want to open for you, our store alliance, a special section interface within the water hyacinth system."
"You can see the future in the interface, the sales of each Hydra order, as well as related evaluations, as well as the major rankings of Alsace products."
