Chapter 163

Early the next morning, in the greenhouse plantation in the west suburb of the school, several students were yawning and standing lazily.

Lena was dressed in very ordinary coarse cloth clothes and boots, which were suitable for working in the fields. Claire stood behind Lena with a stack of papers.

There were three students present. Naturally, Dana did not have to say that fina also stayed in the school after the magic test. When the new semester comes, she will officially become an assistant teacher of crescent college.

The third is Charlotte, who was going to go home in the summer vacation, but later decided to stay in school and continue to complete the master card drawing. At the same time, she can also use the school equipment to continue the experiment.

Lena didn't ask other teachers to come. Originally, Susan Michel, who teaches the Department of Necromancy, should have been able to help, but she went back to her hometown to visit her relatives. Now she's not at school, so Lena doesn't disturb the other teachers.

"I didn't expect that these peas have grown like this. It seems that the effect of this greenhouse is excellent."

Lena looks into several fields. The seeds he sowed yesterday have sprouted green shoots. According to the user's manual, Lena adjusts the environment here to the most suitable type for pea growth, which can improve the efficiency about 15 times.

The growth cycle of ordinary peas is about 60 to 90 days. In this greenhouse, it only takes one week to harvest and mature.

Carefully planning the growth cycle, Lena can at least get four to five mature peas in these 20 days.

"But why peas?"

Dana asked. To tell you the truth, she doesn't like peas and is not interested in growing peas. She came here because of Lena's invitation.

Previously, Lena had explained to these students about blood mage and alimia. For them, alimia's situation was unimaginable, but it did not prevent them from acting for this classmate.

"First of all, peas have many distinct characteristics."

Lena said, spreading out information about peas on a table beside him.

"High stem and low stem, white flower and red flower, smooth or wrinkled pea seeds are very obvious and easy to distinguish. Moreover, due to the previous planting needs of different regions, pea seeds with these characteristics have been screened and are ready-made."

The data described various forms of pea plants, and the differences were obvious. For these students, they only knew pea was a vegetable, but they didn't know so many differences.

"The second point is that pea itself is a special plant. In the flowering period of other plants, most of them rely on bees, butterflies or natural wind for pollination. It is difficult to control the source of their pollen, but pea is different. Pea is a self pollinating plant."

Self pollination is simply to say that the pistil and stamen of the same pea plant are pollinated. The pea has completed the pollination process before flowering, and then it will not be affected by other pollens. Therefore, each pea plant can ensure that it is left by the combination of the previous pea plant.

"Eh, isn't it similar to pure blood pie?"

After listening to Lena's explanation, Charlotte said something like a sudden realization.

In order to ensure the purity of blood lineage, the pure blood group also strictly carried out intermarriage, which was really a bit like peas.

"Although the principle may be different, this view is quite novel."

Lena praised Charlotte, but it made the other two girls feel lost somehow. He didn't pay attention to these, and then concluded.

"These characteristics of pea enable us to control the source of its offspring, which is convenient for experiment."

Through a variety of means, peas can be hybridized, and their appearance characteristics can be observed, so as to judge the action process of blood factors that Lerner conjectured.

Lena assigned two fields to each student to observe the pea growth and record specific characteristics.

This is the first time for these girls to work in the field. Although they didn't really wave their hoes, they also learned a lot of things that they didn't know or misunderstood in the past.

Dana, for example, had always thought that peas grew one by one in the middle of the leaves. Until now, she didn't know that there were pods.

After a morning's observation, several people left the greenhouse. Only some of the peas cultivated in the first stage need to be pollinated manually, so it doesn't need to spend too much energy. Just come to check the growth status regularly.

In the past few days, Lena was not idle. He first looked through some information about pure blood mages to find out whether other people had noticed the similar phenomenon, but he got nothing.

Pure blood mages are very secretive and xenophobic. They also have a lot of confidence in their inheritance. Naturally, it is impossible for outsiders to study them. Their development of blood is a bit more special. Even if there is a similar situation, they will be treated as adultery or other reasons like this one.

Next, Lena looked at the Necromancer's research on magical creatures. You should know that the demand for purebred is very high in both agriculture and breeding. For example, this time the pea seed is a product of unconscious experience. He tried to find out the experience of the mages in cultivating magical creatures with specified characteristics.But soon, Lena found that the application of modern magic theory in the necromancer system was too few, so the mages used the same method of continuous hybridization and screening as cultivating pea seeds to cultivate these species, and there was little theoretical research.

Finally, Lena carefully looked up the family tree of albioles in the past three hundred years, subdivided and counted the appearance features, and made a table for emergency.

Four days later, the first batch of peas officially matured, and Lena and the students came to the greenhouse again to check their growth.

"Field No. 1, 100% tall plants, field No. 2, 100% dwarf plants..."

Claire made statistics according to their observation. At this time, Dana was puzzled.

"Why, strange, are the fields No. 10 and No. 11 planted with tall peas?"

She asked Claire, looking at the field full of tall peas.

"No, these two fields were crossed. In field 10, the stamens of high stem peas were pollinated to the pistils of low stem peas. In field 11, the stamens of low stem peas were pollinated to the pistils of high stem peas."

Lena explained aloud that the experimental phenomenon in front of him was the same as that in his memory, which made him show a faint smile.
