Another advantage of fungi is that they grow much faster than ordinary plants. There is no need to wait for half a year for the growth cycle. With Smith's cooperation, the experiment will soon have results.
The answer is yes, but it still needs further improvement. At that time, Pamela put in ordinary strains, which are the mushrooms that people often eat. Schiller mainly considered that this kind of mushroom is more friendly to the people, in case it has any shape.
The variation won't be too ugly.
But he obviously underestimated the range of mushroom mutation, and the mushrooms that grew out of it were thought to be grenades.
The whole shiitake mushroom is no longer a flat circle, but a towering oval with countless terrifying black and purple protrusions on it. Even if the Chinese come, they will not first consider whether this thing is edible.
Appearance is indeed a big problem. If it is too ugly, even if it is a medicinal herb that is said to prolong life, it may arouse public doubts, and it will be difficult to conduct clinical trials.
After Smith's repeated experiments, he discovered that what the mushrooms will mutate into mainly depends on the base used for cultivation, which means that the corpses of monsters and ghosts will grow into what they are.
Wugui Empress is a purple-haired zombie, and the mushrooms that grow out are naturally black and purple, which look very scary. Then they found the corpse of an animal spirit, and the mushrooms that grow out are golden, and they look much better.
Schiller pondered that Chi You was also a tribal leader. According to Ying Long's description, he was not too ugly. Although he had horns on his head and looked different from modern humans, the aesthetics of mushrooms were different from humans.
Just don't arouse people's appetite.
After discovering that this could work, the Divine Spear Bureau found more samples for Smith to experiment on. In the end, they found that the mushrooms grown by ordinary humanoid and animal spirits were relatively ordinary. Schiller and the others were unlucky, and they picked the same mushrooms at the first pick.
A thousand-year-old zombie, no matter how you plant the corpse of this kind of monster, you won't be able to grow anything that looks edible.
As for the efficacy of mushrooms, it has something to do with the base. If the corpse is flesh and blood, and some energy is poured into it, the mushrooms can inherit and preserve this energy well, which can improve human beings' magical affinity. Taking it orally can slightly improve immunity.
However, external application is more effective, and the most effective one is scar removal. No matter what kind of scar it is, it can basically be restored to its original state.
If the corpse itself is an energy entity condensed by spirits, similar to a compressed version of the devil, the cultivation and growth of mushrooms is very laborious, and the survival rate is also very low, but the effect is the best and can truly achieve the purpose of extending human life.
As for those zombies, the mushrooms grown are poisonous, ranging from twitching limbs to unconsciousness. It is visible to the naked eye. As long as the quantity is large enough, it can be used as poison.
However, there are also some poisonous mushrooms that are useful. For example, they can relieve pain, induce sleep, and even keep people in a dormant state with the lowest power consumption without damaging the human body. They are completely non-addictive and can replace many sedative drugs.
These mushrooms can more or less change humans' magic affinity, but it does not mean that improving magic affinity will lead to immediate learning of magic. The magic talent of the subject has not changed, and active use still won't work. It only improves the ability to accept magic as an object.
At least you won't get dizzy when riding through the portal.
After so many experiments, the Divine Spear Bureau has probably figured it out, but after all, Chi You is not on the same level as these low-level monsters and monsters, so in the end, we have to rely on the facts to speak for themselves.
Then there is the last problem that needs to be solved, that is, where to put Chi You after he moves it out. It is definitely not possible to place it in the open air. The Shenzhao Bureau envisages that although it will no longer be buried so deep, it will still be placed in the mountain, and multiple shelters will be set up.
barriers to ensure safety.
Strange thought this method was very good, but he was still hesitant when facing Zheng Xian. Zheng Xian asked a few questions before he realized that the drawings were very good and could not be built.
After so many days of planning and designing in the village, Strange realized how troublesome this was.
First of all, we need to build a road, and we need to build a road that connects the three villages. It is indeed a magical heavenly road, and the wizards can't build it anyway.
It's not that they don't have the ability. The key is that it's too troublesome. In some places, you can walk past the house instantly as long as you push it, but the villagers are unwilling, so how can you force it?
Not only is it impossible to pass through the house, but people are not willing to go past the house. Not only is it not possible to pass by the house, it is also impossible to pass by the field, or even by a certain tree. It is an ancestral tradition. If you go like this, it will destroy the feng shui.
.
There are also some people who think that building roads is a good thing, but they have to make sure that the road goes past their home, otherwise they will not be allowed to build it.
I reluctantly finished the route planning map. Regardless of materials and labor, it can be built. However, it is not just a road that needs to be built. It needs to build a laboratory, a greenhouse, and a factory. It cannot be done every time.
All this regardless of the cost.
Wang often went to the village chief to coordinate, but the village chief was also very distressed. The people living in these villages were ordinary people, not saints.
With many generations lacking education and living patterns that remain unchanged, most people think that if you want us to become rich, wouldn't it be enough to just give us money? Wouldn't it be enough to just give us whatever we need? Why are we going to such a big deal?
In the end, it became that everyone was unanimously opposed, but they were reluctant to part with the materials provided by the mages. They wanted this today and that tomorrow.
These three villages are not large in area, have a small population, are quite far apart, and have large height differences. The construction is already very difficult. If one person makes one request, the work will be impossible.
Strange has been talking a lot in the past few days, but basically there has been no progress. The mages are not very good at this kind of thing, so they have done nothing except reluctantly building a way out.
Although Strange was also a little impatient, after all, these three villages were his teacher's hometown. He still reminded Zheng Xian not to be too tough and to show some consideration to the villagers when starting work.
??????55.??????
Zheng Xian thought he was hesitating because there was something big going on, but he didn't expect it to be just this. He waved his hand and said nothing, leaving Strange confused as to how he was going to solve this problem.
Unexpectedly, in less than a week, all the villagers' work was completed, and everyone applauded to welcome the engineering team to settle in.
Moreover, there are no powerful mutants or mages among this engineering team. They are basically ordinary people, and they all use ordinary machinery. They don't look high-tech at all, but they use a strange and difficult-to-find method.
The speed of imagination almost hollowed out the entire mountain.
This made the mages on the side look dumbfounded. Speed pass, right? Are you the mage or am I the mage?
I have to admit that the whole process has a sense of order and beauty that mages do not possess. For example, if mages want to destroy a mountain, they can use magic to explode it, but after the explosion, they have no control over where the gravel collapses.
Of course, you can also use space magic to cut, which is clean and neat enough, but basically no one except the archmage can cut it very accurately. If you give them a drawing that is accurate to microns, then most archmages can't do it either.
So precise.
But these ordinary workers are not as powerful as the mages. They can't even lift a big stone by themselves. However, they first set up scaffolding, installed directional blasting explosives, and perfectly collected every piece of broken stone and transported it out.
Another group of people will be replaced to conduct soil quality inspection and continue to build scaffolding.
After cleaning the surface, go to the large machinery. Some people are responsible for observation, some are responsible for inspection, some are responsible for starting, and some are responsible for finishing. Everyone knows what they want to do, is very clear about the purpose of their actions, what consequences they can lead to, and can
We are collectively responsible for this outcome.
Observing similar working processes is an ultimate enjoyment of order and beauty, because it is like seeing how the people on this land built such a glorious civilization over millions of years.
In the beginning, it was just some younger mages who were idle and watching. Later, the great mages also came. They had been practicing for a longer time and were further away from human society, so they were more susceptible to shock.
In the end, Gu Yi also came back. She was just like hundreds of years ago, standing on the cold and windy mountain ridge in the distance, watching one after another ordinary people who were as small as ants in her field of vision, carrying each other on their shoulders.
, shouting and drinking, in a time that seems to have stagnated, using the gravel held in everyone's hands and the footprints made under their feet to build a great civilization that is beyond the reach of the power of the gods.
Strange looked at his teacher and saw a different kind of light shining in Gu Yi's eyes. Through this light, he seemed to have seen how the national teacher in Chinese uniforms stood in the misty rain hundreds of years ago.
Watch the rise and end of a glorious dynasty from the high tower.
At that time, there were hundreds of civil and military officials standing behind her, and in front of her was a huge dragon. The dark clouds were thick, and her breath was filled with the cold moisture of wood.
The inscription was placed on the altar, with ancient characters that people could not understand written on it. Then it rained heavily, indicating another year of good harvest.
"I am the only god, there is no me and no god..." Gu Yi sighed softly.
A deep voice responded to her, "You are the first person who dares to threaten me in words, and you are also the last one."
"People have almost forgotten you." Gu Yi said calmly, as if she was stating a fact, "But they will never forget that they want a rain."
"Most people always want only rain and good harvests, not war." Yinglong said: "So now we are still here, and Chi You can only lie there."
"It is the majority of people who determine the return path of the gods." Gu Yi said: "History proves that I am right. Only what people believe in is a god, and only what people want is a miracle. Apart from that, nothing else
Nothing else.”
Strange couldn't understand Chinese, but he seemed to be able to understand what the two of them were talking about, because whenever his teacher spoke her mother tongue in this tone, she was sighing about the long river of history.
A person or god who sinks.
"They are so small, but they are good at creating greatness." Gu Yi said: "Create civilization with their own hands, cultivate gods with their own hands, spread all over the world, and stretch endlessly, as if this world was born for them."
"But that's not why you threatened me in words."
"But didn't it rain on you in the end?"
"That wasn't done for you."
"There is no rain in this world that does not fall for me or all living beings. If so, then change to another rain god."
"Do you think you can represent all sentient beings?"
"I'm living for this."
"Arrogance."
Ying Long snorted, but stopped talking. After a while, he said: "What do you think Chi You would think if he knew someone was growing mushrooms on him?"
"I only know that if it is the Shennong family of the Xuanyuan family, they will be very happy, because they were once a member of all peoples and lived for all living beings. They know what they want most."
"But that's not the case with Chi You. Chi You only wanted to win." Yinglong sighed and said, "Those who go against nature in the past and present are nothing more than this."
"Did they say what to do with the mushrooms grown from Chi You?" Gu Yi suddenly turned around and asked Strange.
Strange shook his head and said: "They didn't say the specifics, but I heard that they might want to make a vaccine."
“I heard mushrooms are more likely to grow in humid places?”
As Gu Yi spoke, he shifted his gaze to Ying Long. Ying Long stared at her and said, "What are you looking at me for?"
"What do you think of my essay?"
"You want to threaten me again?!"
The clown actor in the audio drama of this book is really amazing and has a special flavor. You can listen to it.
