Chapter 636 The energy-locking structure of the magic plant and the air pineapple magic plant continued to deepen
The Sith wizard looked at Locke and said: "There are wizards in the Rose Council who want to plant desert roses themselves. But even if we just plant desert roses and earn economic value, in a short period of time, if they want to surpass our two groups in cost and supply, they will be unable to do it."
"The largest water source for our Group 2 comes from a large equipment developed by the Storm Tower. However, it needs regular maintenance by the Storm Tower. However, the Rose Council did not know what method it used to make the wizards of the Storm Tower stop maintaining the equipment of our Group 2. As a result, our Group 2 has no water at all!"
"Without water, it becomes very dangerous in this desert!"
Locke asked the Sith wizard: "So, do we have no water now? But I see in the institute, many wizard apprentices are watering the magic plants. And the drip irrigation system has not stopped."
The Sith wizard said: "That is the water we stored before. We can also transport water from the outside, but the cost is very high and the amount is not enough."
"This research institute is always full of water." The amount of water required every moment is very exaggerated. Moreover, the water world of this world does not conflict with the sand and soil of this world, and it must be used through special large-scale conversion equipment. The cost is very high.”
“Don’t think that this is the end of this plane so far. That’s not the case. Deep underground in this plane, there are still a large number of low-level plant communities, which continuously produce magic tides, air elements, and wood elements for this world. If the ecology is further destroyed, even these will be gone, and this world will become even more dangerous. Terrified purgatory."
"It is expected that the temperature can reach from 100 degrees Celsius to 300 degrees Celsius. Once it reaches that point, this plane will be completely destroyed."
"So, we cannot extract too much groundwater."
Locke's thinking is very fast. "If that's the case, then we can borrow some water from other research institutes in this world."
The Sith wizard sighed. "That's what I did. But the price of collecting water in this way is still very expensive, and those guys will never miss any opportunity to ask for money."
The Mason Witch wondered: "Master Sith, we also have a weather master academy in Golden Crown Mountain, why can't we build that equipment ourselves?"
The Sith Wizard sighed. "Actually, we are researching it, and it is estimated that we will be able to build it ourselves in ten years. Yunze Wetland, the most powerful one in terms of weather science, must be the Storm Tower."
"Especially the special weather system that can still produce certain products stably in various extremely harsh environments. That is the specialty of the Storm Tower. We at Jinmian Mountain have not done too much in-depth research in this field, at least not as much as we have invested in the Storm Tower."
The Sith wizard said: "But you don't have to worry too much about this. Because this only increases the cost of my water. Using underground water, or storing water, borrowing water from other research institutes, and transporting water from the main material plane are all temporary solutions to the problem."
"I'm also arranging people to find a way to produce some water on our own without getting rid of the Storm Tower. It's not impossible, look at the banyan tree on the 27th floor over there."
Locke looked at the 27th floor and saw that the crystals inlaid on the ceiling of the 27th floor were emitting a faint sunlight. At the same time, a circle of rain clouds gathered above the banyan tree. The rain clouds were dripping sparse rainwater and fell in the magic field around the banyan tree.
The Sith wizard said: "The banyan tree has the ordinary function of accelerating the condensation of cumulonimbus clouds, so I am trying to find a way to have some banyan tree magic plants transplanted in to replenish the moisture in my base in a small area."
"Water can be found everywhere in Yunze Wetland. But in this world, it is ten thousand times more expensive than gold." That’s all. You don’t need to worry too much. I’ll still be there to hold on to the sky. The research mission of your group is the same as the overall research mission of our two groups, which is to study the drought-resistant plant factors of various plants.”
If you meet an official wizard, both parties will nod to each other to show courtesy.
The Sith wizard led them to his office and handed four pieces of information to the four people at the same time. "In our research institute, we mainly study the drought tolerance mechanism of various magic plants."
"As for the economic value... it is an additional requirement I made in order to allow our institute to have more research resources."
"This is not a request from Lord Throne, but an additional request issued by me as the leader of Group 2. Otherwise, each researcher would only rely on subsidies from the White Wizard Association's project fund, and I would only be able to support such a large base with funds from Lord Throne."
The Sith wizard said: "It's just that I didn't expect that the Desert Rose Magic Plant would eventually be greedy by the Rose Council themselves. Haha, the flower whisperers of the Rose Council are too hungry."
"We could have steadily provided them with all kinds of desert roses and made magic bouquets for them. But we have to step in."
"What if we could do it." If we don't do it, the value of the desert rose will still have to increase. After all, the flower whisperer of the Rose Council will suffer. "
"The desert rose is a common flower in the magic bouquet!"
Locke whispered: "But the flower whisperer will only suffer, not an individual."
The Sith wizard snorted coldly. "Yes. There are people who benefit themselves at the expense of others."
The Sith wizard looked at Locke and said: "So, I ask the members of Group 2 to find drought-tolerant cash crops that can replace desert roses as soon as possible." The stock is too large, so it is difficult to completely turn around at the moment."
The Sith wizard said: "Locke, do you have any good ideas?"
The three wizards, including the Mason witch, immediately looked at Locke.
Locke hesitated, "Planting pineapples?"
Mason Witch raised her forehead.
Well, this is indeed what their group has been doing all along.
The Sith wizard was stunned for a moment. "Pineapple? Eh. I knew you had done in-depth research on pineapples. But this is a topic for Group 2, not Group 6. Tillandsia... doesn't have much economic value."
"Though it is said that pineapple is indeed a magic plant native to arid areas."
"But the problem is, our two groups need crops with high economic value."
The Sith wizard smiled: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Your group can think slowly and think more. Maybe there are better choices than pineapples."
The Sith wizard waved to the door of the office. "Eros Ramsey, come here."
"Everyone, Eros Ramsey is a senior researcher in Group 2. If you don't understand anything, you can ask him."
"You can choose four office spaces in the public office on the 30th floor underground. In addition, you can apply for a magic field from me later."
"As long as you choose the research target."
"The institute has complete research facilities, including three magic mirrors and even a Queen's chessboard."
Locke suddenly raised his head and looked at the Sith wizard.
For other level one wizards, they basically don’t need the queen’s chessboard, but their own demand for the queen’s chessboard is too great.
Locke asked the Sith wizard: "Teacher Sith, how much does it cost to use the queen's chessboard in our 2 groups once?"
The Sith wizard said: "Fifty thousand magic stones."
"However, you need to pass the first-class project fund's project application first."
"I mean, you need to prove that you are working on a Zhenzhiyuan project before you can use the Queen's chessboard. In addition, we have structural comparison machines and other large and small equipment in our institute."
The Sith wizard patted Locke on the shoulder. "You can spend a week reading the information first."
"I am very optimistic about you, Locke."
The Sith wizard left, and the Eros wizard was a young wizard. He looked at Locke with some curiosity and admiration.
"If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. I will help you quickly understand the research directions of Group 2, so that you can apply for your Zhenzhiyuan first-class project fund as soon as possible."
He looked full of admiration. "I just completed the fourth level, and the third level is not there yet."
"I wonder if I can complete the third-level project fund before leaving the station."
Locke said casually. "Come on, Wizard Ramsay."
Then, the four of them began to leave the office and headed to the public office.
Under the dim lights in the public office, I sat at four connected workstations and started to read.
Then, Locke watched for half an afternoon, and his face became increasingly weird.
Because the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he should study the magic plants of the air pineapple type here.
First of all, in this research institute, the most valuable things are water and soil.
But the problem is that pineapples are basically grown without soil.
And the cultivation of pineapples is better dry than wet. Although it is impossible not to need water, at least it does not require a lot.
It is the environment in this research institute that is most suitable for cultivating a kind of magic plant.
The most important thing is that the air pineapple originally had almost no economic value, but the problem is that your own wizard shoes may require three air pineapple magic plants as raw materials.
That problem is different.
Producing my wizard shoes, Air Pineapple, here can also reduce my production costs. Locke thought: "It is too expensive to rent an acre of magic field in Jinmian Mountain." But it's different here. The cost of land here is still very low compared to Jinmian Mountain. 』
Furthermore, in this way, I can kill two birds with one stone. 』
The fund project overlaps with the horizontal project...』
『It saves me a lot of time. Human energy is limited. If I want to do everything, it will squeeze my time to do other things, such as my time to conceive a great magic!
Therefore, it is definitely the best strategy to continue researching the magic plants of the air pineapple type. 』
although it makes me look like a pineapple fairy. 』
Locke thought: "The principle of spraying water on pineapples is small and frequent. Spraying 2-3 times a week is enough, and the water consumption is not high." 』
『Of course, just to apply for the first-class project fund, you need to put some extra thought into it. 』
Different from being familiar with the road in Group 6, in Group 2, what seems to be more important here is the study of drought tolerance mechanisms.
Hence, I need to change my research policy and focus on the drought tolerance mechanism of pineapple magic plants.
This requires understanding the current research methods of the two groups, otherwise it will be easy to fail to pass the first-class project fund application in one go.
After all, the difficulty of first-class funds is not low.
The research of Group 2 is another field in which I have no foundation before.
After reading the information, Locke found that there are similarities between the research of Group 6 and the research of Group 2. For example, research on the mechanism of increasing fecundity and research on drought resistance mechanism are both treasure fields for discovering new natural magic structural components.
In addition, studying the drought resistance mechanism of magic plants makes it easier to discover new energy-locking structures of magic plant organs, some new magic plant mechanisms, magic plant microorganisms, etc...
Because the drought resistance mechanism is a response mechanism to stress, magic plants may instantaneously produce some kind of short-term structural changes in this environment, or the secretion rate of the internal natural magic structure components may change.
Hence, what can be discovered is actually very different from the research of the 6 groups.
Every year, two groups have discovered new mechanisms of how magic plants respond to drought, as well as isomers of the same natural magic structural component.
Of course, the most important discovery is the new energy-locking structure of the magic plant organ.
The energy-locking structure is a typical feature of magic plants in response to drought. It exists for a very short time and requires a specific environment, so it is difficult to detect.
The difficulty and significance of its discovery lie in the discovery of a new natural magic structural component or an isomer of this component.
Even with two groups, the previous five-year cycle could only discover the energy-locking structure of a new magic plant.
The energy-locking structure is an attempt by magic plants to utilize energy at a high rate.
It has many applications in various aspects.
The discovery of a new energy-locking structure can create many spell models, and even lead to the birth of a spell series.
Many new energy-locking structures only appear briefly in certain individual magic plants.
After all, even without an energy-locking structure, magic plants can still cope with drought by relying on some specific natural magic structure components and internal changes.
It is extremely likely that many excellent energy-locking structures will disappear due to the accidental mutation of an individual magic plant.
Hence, in the study of drought-resistant plants, if a wizard can discover a new energy-locking structure, it will definitely require great luck, and it will be the best proof of his talent.
Of course, studying the mechanism of drought resistance is more about discovering specific plant factors related to drought resistance, some common natural magic structural components, common energy-locking structures, and changes in the macro-organs and micro-organs of magic plants.
It is difficult to discover new isomers of natural magic structural components.
Loke looked up at the three Mason witches after hesitation. "Everyone, how about we continue to study pineapples in Group 2?"
Witch Freya showed an exaggerated expression. "Or pineapples? So what will happen when we go from group 6 to group 2?" Wizard Barrett said with a straight face: "Studying the drought resistance mechanism and studying the fecundity mechanism are two different directions, and the things discovered will be different."
Witch Mason smiled and said: "I agree. In this way, our group will be more familiar, which will reduce the time and energy required to adapt. Moreover, group leader, your pineapple wizard shoes can also take the opportunity to make something."
