Chapter 195: The Prosperous Disaster
In addition to continuing to make great achievements in the follow-up research of alienated animals, the laboratory has also slowly improved in the research of alienated plants. A very strange phenomenon was found in the samples of many wild alienated plants collected, that is, the original annual herbaceous plants are gradually evolving into perennial herbaceous plants.
For example, there is a wild rice plant, and when this alienated rice plant was first mailed, everyone thought it was just a special alienated individual with a huge size. After all, plant size is a very common phenomenon in annual herbaceous plants, and it is normal to obtain a large wild rice plant.
However, when the rice, which was used as a sample for the popularization of rice in the future, was carefully cultivated, the researchers in charge of the project found that the rice not only grew very slowly, but even during the time when it should have flowered normally, the rice was still growing leaves. By the time the other early rice varieties have been harvested, it is still growing leaves.
Faced with this strange phenomenon, the researcher sorted it out into a research report and submitted it directly to Ye Feiqiu. For this special phenomenon, Ye Feiqiu handed over a large number of herbaceous plants that had become huge to the researcher for systematic research. After several months of systematic research, the researcher's final result was the discovery of a special alienation phenomenon of the gradual transformation of annual herbaceous plants into perennial herbaceous plants.
When an annual herb is transformed into a perennial herb, the original flowering and fruiting cycle is completely changed. Many herbaceous plants have a similar flowering and fruiting cycle as woody plants, they usually bloom in the spring, and then the fruit grows over a long period of time, until the autumn before gradually maturing. However, due to the long gestation period, the number and size of the fruit they produce can be very large. There are even some special plant species that bloom while bearing fruit and ripening.
This perennial alienation phenomenon will increase the yield of individual plants, but it will also disrupt the originally mature agricultural system. After all, if high-yielding crops such as rice and wheat are to become popular and bear fruit all year round, it will cause huge problems for harvesting. After all, trying to pick up ripe rice or wheat from the field is almost a devastating thing.
In addition, a piece of land will grow different crops at different times. For example, wheat is planted in early spring, and when the wheat is ripe, rape can be planted, and when the rape is ripe, soybeans or cotton can be planted. Such a mature sowing pattern will be destroyed by this perennial phenomenon of annual plants.
Although this phenomenon is not obvious, the trend of enormous herbaceous plants and perennial alienation will definitely bring earth-shaking changes to the traditional farming civilization in the future. Maybe one day, we will harvest wheat and rice in the form of corn, or look at the corn plants that grow taller than the trees.
Nowadays, there are not only a large number of alienated animals in the fields that threaten the farmers who farm, but also the farmers' thousands of years of farming experience will also collapse because of this alienation of plants. In the future, there will be only one difficult word to describe the peasants' farming! The peasants' difficulty in farming may lead to a decrease in grain output, and a grain shortage will follow.
In any case, one day in the future, mechanized harvesting may only be a luxury, and perhaps humans will only need to grow one wheat plant to feed a family. However, in the transition period of this great change, under the situation of alienated animals in the wild, ordinary people may only be able to look at the food on the ground and not get it. Or maybe in the near future, the peasant will become synonymous with a high-martial profession.
When this researcher submitted this seemingly fanciful research report, Ye Feiqiu was also trapped in this experimental report and couldn't take his eyes off it for a long time. In the process of reviewing, Ye Feiqiu unconsciously thought of the phenomenon of plant poisoning. Plants are growing themselves step by step, and human beings are losing control of plants step by step.
However, in the face of this terrible situation, Ye Feiqiu was fortunate at this time. Because before that, the Federation launched the Fire of Life Food Preservation Campaign at her initiative. Now that this confidence is in place, and this alienation phenomenon has not yet been fully widespread, the Federation may be able to survive this era of great changes in agricultural planting technology.
However, no matter how well prepared you are, you should not take the difficulties ahead lightly. After all, the alienation that plants have exhibited so far, as well as the various alienation phenomena that have not yet been discovered by humans, may make human beings lose all the advantages that have been accumulated for tens of thousands of years, and they will no longer be suitable for living on this planet!
In the research log that day, Ye Feiqiu once again left a thought-provoking sentence:
Crocodile meat can be eaten, but it is protected by hard leather armor and sharp teeth. Eagle meat can also be eaten, but it is far away from the top of the mountain. The food crops of the future can also be eaten, but humans may have to trade their lives for them!
......
The time of penance is always short, and from summer to autumn, the Federation has been building defensive walls for more than half a year. Due to the strong integration of construction resources in the first wave of the federation, a large number of unpaid training and employment allocation for construction industry workers, the first batch of federal wall construction projects are almost completed. Cangchi Because the Qin Consortium made a lot of money again this summer, the progress of the construction of the city wall in Tianlin City was also very good, and it was completely completed in time for the cool autumn.
A few days before the completion of the city wall, Cangchi had already received a message from President Luzhou, saying that he would invite Cangchi to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Tianlin City Wall in a few days. Cangchi had just gotten up today, and there was a knock outside the door. Cangchi opened the roller shutter and saw the four presidents and vice presidents of the Tianlin Chamber of Commerce standing outside.
"Boss Cangchi, it's really gratifying! With the support of your abundant funds, the progress of building the wall can be on par with the speed of the Federation! Such a feat is really admirable to me! As a member of Tianlin City, I really feel a sense of honor!" When President Lu Zhou saw Cangchi open the door, he directly handed over a string of polite words.
"President Lu, it's only 7 o'clock, it's a little too early, right?" Cang Chi felt that the four presidents and vice presidents must have other things to report, so he asked on the side.
"Boss Cangchi Mingjian, we do have something important to discuss with you. Because I am afraid of disturbing your practice, I took advantage of this time today to come and report to you. President Lu Zhou said quite humbly.
"Everyone is their own person, so you don't have to be so polite. If you have anything to say, just say it. Cangchi saw that there was really something, so he took the lead in sitting on the chair in the lobby.
After the four presidents and vice presidents sat down, a group of people dressed as waiters walked in from outside the door, all of them carried a food box in their hands, and after placing the breakfast inside on the table in front of Cang, they left one after another.
"The chairmen and vice-presidents are polite. After Cangchi said politely, he started eating directly.
"Boss Cangchi, you've been busy with the affairs of the Deception Martial Arts Pavilion all this time, so there are some rumors that you may not be too aware of. We are here to discuss with you the truth of these rumors and to plan the next steps. President Lu Zhou still looked very polite
"Oh, let's hear it?" For these rumors, Cang Chi actually knew better than anyone else, after all, he had a great relationship with Ye Feiqiu, and he was also one of the personal participants in the phenomenon of particle alienation of the ancient gods.
The reason why Cang Chi showed an open mind to ask for advice was just to keep it secret in front of the four presidents and vice presidents. After all, the current Federation's attitude towards the ancient god particles is still semi-public. Neither affirmation nor denial. The reason for this is to strive for a longer buffer period.
"Some mutated beasts that are often reported on the news, I think Boss Cangchi should be very clear. Privately, however, many people often swear that these mutated wild animals are just the beginning of a catastrophe. And the Federation built the city wall to better defend against this catastrophe.
For such an argument, although the old man does not believe it too much. But as the saying goes, it is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. This kind of argument is old and I think it is better to face it squarely. ”
Chairman Lu Zhou said some of the rumors he had heard recently.
This kind of secret leakage is actually normal, the Federation has been cultivating the martial arts hall power for so long, even if the wall is impenetrable, it will be wiped clean by time. It is also inevitable that such rumors will come out now.
"Haven't we already built a wall in Tianlin City, what else is there to worry about?" Cang Chi deliberately diverted the topic.
"This is indeed thanks to the unpredictable prophet of the boss of Cangchi, and the citizens of Tianlin City have to thank you. However, the city wall has indeed been built, but I wonder if Boss Cangchi still wants to hear another rumor?" Vice President Sun Qihong touched his goat's whisker and opened the conversation.
"Oh, are there any other rumors?" Cang Chi asked again suspiciously, again at the level of an actor.
In addition to his superb acting skills, Cang Chi's question actually contained some real surprise in it, he didn't expect the Federation's secrecy work to be so poor. It's only been about half a year since the semi-public information was released, and rumors are already flying. This unnecessary panic seems to have come much faster than expected.
