As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 74 Better Seeds

"Among these seeds, I feel that these few are of better quality, especially this one. I can feel the vitality gushing out of it."

For this reason, all the security guards of the Agricultural Research Institute were replaced with more professional security personnel, and Hua Guo also prepared a brand new resume for his new identity.

Jiang Yan came to the Agricultural Research Institute and brought a team of six people. The other five people had their own secret identities. On the surface, they were researchers of Jiang Yan's team, and they secretly served Jiang Yan.

Not only makeup, but also blood tests, feedback of Jiang Yan's latest feelings, etc. to the Bureau of Abnormality Investigation.

After the appearance of Magic Coin, especially after the artificial magic brain was confirmed, Huaguo established a special investigation bureau for abnormal things, which is fully responsible for magic-related matters.

(Don’t care about the name of this organization, it’s chosen randomly, I think it’s pleasing to the ear, so I chose this name~)

"Are you sure?" Dong Wenxu, a researcher in charge of batch gene mutation of soybean seeds, was full of doubts.

This new researcher is too crazy. He picked up the seeds and took a look to confirm that the quality of these seeds is better?
This batch of seeds was processed in batches by Dong Wenxu through a combination of X-rays and chemical mutagenesis reagents to induce mutations.

It is not like the most popular operation method in the agricultural research community, which is to make a fuss about the gene fragments where these mutants are located for some known mutants.

Radioactive probes are used to determine the gene fragments associated with mutants with known functions. After the gene fragments are located, targeted mutagenesis or hybridization is used to cause the gene fragments to change again.

Since the functional modules associated with this gene fragment are known, the control experiment only needs a targeted design.

But when the new researcher Jiang Yan came, Dong Wenxu was directly transferred to Jiang Yan's team, and he himself was reluctant.

Because Jiang Yan came from a famous school all the way, but the articles he posted were all blank. As a research dog, the team leader didn't post any articles. Isn't this pure deceit?

The statement in the institute is that Jiang Yan has been engaged in secret scientific research work before, and was recently transferred to their scientific research institute because of his age, so he has not published a paper.

What made Dong Wenxu even more unbearable was that Jiang Yan asked him to use the traditional radiation method to process large quantities of seeds of major crops such as wheat, rice, barley, and soybeans.

After Dong Wenxu finished processing, Jiang Yan picked it up and looked at it for a long time, then closed his eyes from time to time, and then told him which seeds to plant.

From the very beginning, he knew it was unreliable, but Dong Wenxu didn't expect it to be so unreliable. Picking seeds was like drawing lots.

Every day is the induced seed, Jiang Yan picked it out, and then he planted it in the soil of the Agricultural Science Institute with several other researchers.

Dong Wenxu didn't know when he was going to be a leader for a while, and it was hopeless to post papers under the person in charge. Let alone a teaching position in 211, he didn't know if he could find a teaching position in general.

Originally, I came to the Chinese Academy of Sciences as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Agriculture to publish more papers, so I tried to go to 211 to start as an associate professor. "It seems that my life is gloomy." Dong Wenxu thought to himself.

"Mr. Jiang, isn't our method a little too random?" Dong Wenxu couldn't help it, and he reminded the other party very tactfully.

Jiang Yan didn't care. As a person who has lived between life and death, Shennong, who is in the Xu Kingdom, has long been unable or difficult to explain to him.

Could it be that I have a magic brain and can perceive which seed has more vigorous vitality?
Jiang Yan had no choice but to say: "Please trust me, and you can only trust me. If these seeds do not show some superior characteristics, I will allow you to be transferred to other groups."

Dong Wenxu was also carefully selected. He was calm in his work, not good at speaking, and had no experience of studying abroad. Three generations of his ancestors had to undergo political review before they could join Jiang Yan's group.

It's just that Dong Wenxu didn't know how lucky he was to be in this group.

Hearing what Jiang Yan said, Dong Wenxu could only answer yes.

After Dong Wenxu went out, Jiang Yan continued to study, because it was a change of direction, and now it has expanded to all major crops, and he still needs to make up a lot of lessons.

After Jiang Yan injected the standard devil's brain, he was surprised to find that he could perceive the quality of creatures. It was just a feeling, and he could feel which seed was better for the same seed.

After discovering and confirming that Jiang Yan did have this ability, he was transferred to the Agricultural Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"I hope that you will continue to make outstanding contributions to China's agricultural independence and major crop security. We can leave more profits to our fellow farmers without relying on overseas countries."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

The location has changed and the content of the work has changed, but what remains unchanged is the original intention, the determination and belief to make a small contribution to Huaguo's agriculture.

Huaguo is a country with a large population and has a huge demand for food, but it relies heavily on imports for seeds.

Huaguo feeds 7% of the world's population with 20% of the world's farmland.To accomplish this feat, Huaguo's use of chemical fertilizers has tripled in the past 30 years, with an average efficiency of 3%, compared to the world average of 32%.

而大豆的进口量80.00%依赖于进口，进口量从1995年的30万吨增加到2017年的9500万吨，占据世界大豆交易市场的三分之二。

(The above data comes from the "Huaguo Agricultural Yearbook" 1982-2017 published by the Ministry of Agriculture of Huaguo)

However, Huaguo relies heavily on imports of seeds. In 2018, Huaguo imported more than 7200 million kilograms of crop seeds, and the import value was as high as 4.75 million yuan.

It is precisely because of this environment that Jiang Yan can come to the Agricultural Institute without being in the secret base.

After finishing the day's work, Jiang Yan got up and called up the page of the magic forum. There was still only one post of Meilin hanging on it.

He was full of questions and wanted to ask Merlin, what exactly is the devil brain?Why would the magic brain allow him to have this ability after being injected.

Is this ability technological or magical?

In addition, can this ability evolve, and can it detect more accurately which aspects of good seeds are good?
These problems are like a cat scratching an itch to him, they will always hang in his mind if they cannot be solved.

I can only force myself not to think about it when I am working.

　Thanks to Xuewu Feiyu, akwep!!! for the reward~
