Raising spiritual plants in the interstellar after crossing

Chapter 443 443. Hybridization
So up to now, even the process of purifying the seeds is done by themselves, which means that there are fewer things for Su Luo to do, and it is easier for her.

But maybe some unspeakable existence just couldn't bear her to settle down, so just when Su Luo once again thought that she could be free, something else came to her.

Unlike before, Su Luo had expected this matter.

Because this is what Tao Meng told her back then, about the military department wanting to find a suitable spiritual planter, and then establish a bridge of communication with the alien beast... this matter.

But it seems that they should have failed, otherwise they would not have looked for Su Luo as a 'spare tire'.

But before they approached Su Luo, Su Luo received another message from Tao Meng. This time, the content was that she was also taken by the military to spend half a day with the alien beast.

Su Luo knew that she could understand the speech of the alien beast, and the alien beast should also understand her speech. The little black bear Heimi was the best proof.

But since Tao Meng didn't have the military department as a 'bridge' to communicate, either she deliberately pretended not to understand the language of the alien beast, or the military department felt that she was not good enough, so they didn't choose her.

... There is another unlikely possibility, that is, although Tao Meng can understand Heimi's words, she cannot understand the words of other alien beasts.

Regarding this point, Su Luo was not very clear.

Because she didn't deliberately let Tao Meng communicate with other alien beasts, and Tao Meng didn't say why she wasn't selected by the military.

She didn't take the initiative to say it, probably because she didn't want to say it, Su Luo felt that she didn't need to ask.

But having said that, the people in the military department were quite straightforward and didn't make any twists and turns. After saying hello, they asked Su Luo if she was free, and wanted her to help communicate with the alien beast.

As for the specific content of the communication, I didn't say anything, I guess we have to wait for her to agree.

Su Luo's first reaction was to refuse. After all, the other party didn't say anything to communicate. If they couldn't fulfill their request, wouldn't it be a waste of time to agree?
But the other party also seemed to understand that this time it was Su Luo's concern about not agreeing, so they added a sentence later, saying that even if Su Luo agreed, he could go back on his word at any time.

Even so, Su Luo didn't particularly want to help.

Because she knew that many things could be regretted if she didn't want to, and they kept hiding and unwilling to say it, which meant that this matter was not simple, how could it be as easy as they said?
Anyway, Su Luo definitely didn't believe it.

After receiving Su Luo's rejection reply again, the other party fell into a long silence.

After waiting for a while without a reply, Su Luo simply assumed that they had given up, put his mind to rest, rolled up his sleeves and continued to prepare for farming.

Now that Su Luo's farming is not just ordinary farming, she began to use various seeds to try to hybridize.

Interstellar improved seeds are mostly used in scientific and technological means, such as adding certain ingredients to certain seeds, or modifying the ancient subsequences (similar to genes) inside the seeds through certain instruments.

Although there were genetically modified seeds in the past, they still used the oldest method-hybridization.

Hybridization has produced countless myths, whether it is a person or a seed.

Although Su Luo knew that she was definitely not as powerful as those gods, but after studying and with the help of wood-type abilities, she felt that she could give it a try.

The most important thing is that Interstellar does not seem to have any record of crossbreeding... I don't know whether it is because the history is too long, she can't find it, or because the method of hybridization is too 'backward', it was eliminated by Interstellar.

But no matter what the reason was, it didn't affect Su Luo's attempt to hybridize.

She tried many seeds to cross each other, and found a very strange thing - after the seeds were crossed, the activity of the seeds increased greatly.

In an easy-to-understand way, if the survival rate of seeds before hybridization under normal conditions is [-]%, then the survival rate of seeds after hybridization under normal conditions is [-]%, which is infinitely close to the full value.

After some experiments, Su Luo vaguely discovered some patterns, and also discovered a surprise.

If the seeds of each plant seem to have their own characteristics, when the characteristics are the same or suitable, the growth cycle of the hybrid seeds will be shortened, the conditions for planting will also be reduced, and the yield will also increase slightly.

As for the 'characteristics' here, Su Luo felt that it was somewhat similar to the traditional five elements (gold, wood, water, fire, and earth) before.

The so-called same characteristics are like gold and gold, wood and wood (the attributes are the same), and the suitable characteristics are like water and wood (water produces wood), fire and earth (fire produces earth).

Because this kind of characteristic was felt by Su Luo with her own wood-type ability, it was not a physical substance, so it was hard for her to define what it was, so she could only record what she learned first.

After recording this batch of seeds used for experimental hybridization, Su Luo began to think about a question - since there are similarities and similarities, is there any mutual restraint?

Just like water and fire (water overcomes fire), gold and wood (jin overcomes wood)...

And besides the sameness, compatibility and restraint, there are also characteristics that are irrelevant to each other, such as water and gold, they are not the same, but they are neither compatible nor restrained...

With so many combinations, it took Su Luo a whole week of tossing around to get some of them, and it was still a very small part.

Because not only economic crops that are valuable to humans have their own characteristics, but all plants have their own characteristics, and there are so many plants in a world... This workload Su Luo feels that he can't finish it even in a lifetime!

Even so, she took out all the plant seeds she had collected.

During this period of time, the seed hybrids she has tried include but are not limited to: hybridization of thorn vine and tomato seeds, hybridization of rotten fruit and durian seeds, hybridization of explosive fruit and corn (not trying to make corn cannons), etc...

I thought that such a mess would not produce any results, but I didn't expect that she would actually crossbreed something that is not new, but the value should not be low-velvet wheat.

The name 'Velvet Wheat' seems very strange, but in fact it is a casual... because it is the result of hybridization of Velvet Grass seeds and wheat seeds.

The velvet wheat produced by crossing cashmere grass and wheat is indistinguishable from ordinary wheat only in terms of appearance.

The biggest difference between velvet wheat and ordinary wheat is that the nutrient content contained in the straw of velvet wheat is basically the same as that of cashmere grass, and the nutritional content is only 8% lower than that of cashmere grass.
