【Chapter 250】 Luna One, Enchanted Crystal
Collecting the buzzer of the Scythe-Blade Worm didn't have much trouble. Those long-decaying insect shells are shriveled and brittle, and they can be dismantled with bare hands without even tools. In the same position as the Scythe-Blade Worm Sub-Juggernaut, at the junction of the head and thorax, the crystallized buzzer still sparkles like a jewel after years.
The buzzer is about a palm long, the surface is smooth, the whole is a smooth spindle-shaped, and the surface is also neatly lined with small scales that can be pressed, like a pocket version of the resonance crystal.
No matter the size or feel, it is very suitable for holding and easy to carry. For the purpose of the initial experiment, a total of eight buzzers were collected, and if it was the same as Qin Song guessed, the call effect could be achieved through the resonance crystal, and the buzzer would become an otherworldly version of the mobile phone.
"Wheat blessed by divine power?"
Qin Song, who had just returned to the camp, learned the news of the mutated wheat from the elated Luna.
Without a doubt, this is absolutely good news.
As Luna explains, the yield of one mutant wheat plant is equivalent to seven or eight ordinary wheat plants. In other words, the yield of the same piece of farmland can be increased by six or seven times.
It is an eternal truth that the people regard food as the sky. Even the Industrial Revolution was built on the basis of the Agricultural Revolution. When people no longer worry about eating, they have the energy and enthusiasm to engage in other work.
In fact, Luna's voluminous elves have a wonderful pattern. That is, in the case of detachment from the soil, it is completely dependent on divine power to produce, and the yield is very limited. But when planted in the soil, the magic of the rich fairy not only promotes growth, but also encourages the plant to spontaneously absorb the nutrients needed for growth from the land.
This is the main reason why Qin Song built a special test field for Luna, to improve the efficiency of the Fengmao Fairy as much as possible. Of course, this is not a one-and-done solution, and the biggest limitation is the fertility of the land.
Under normal circumstances, after three consecutive harvests, the fertility of the land will be greatly reduced, resulting in a slippery decline in yields.
As a result, the crops that Luna grows are currently producing can only feed the daily lives of a few of them.
But now, the emergence of mutant wheat has given the entire Blackstone Collar great hope. If this wheat, without Luna's divine powers, can grow naturally and ripen and fall fruit.
Then, when next spring comes, it can be used as the seed of a new type of wheat and be widely promoted throughout the Black Stone Collar. With a six- or seven-fold increase in yield, the problem of hunger will no longer exist!
No, maybe not wait until winter. Wheat is generally divided into two types, namely winter wheat and spring wheat, although both are wheat, but the 'temperament' is different. Winter wheat is sown in the spring, then throughout the summer it will only tiller and not a single ear of wheat will be produced. In the same way, if spring wheat is sown in winter, it will freeze to death in winter.
As far as Qin Song knew, most of the wheat in the Tia Kingdom was spring wheat and was not cold-tolerant, which made it impossible to carry out autumn ploughing.
Perhaps, the mutated wheat will not only increase the yield, but also its various resistances will be fully evolved.
"Luna. Qin Song rubbed the plump ears of wheat in his hand, looked at Luna's little face with small dimples, and his tone was a little excited: "How many such wheat?"
"Tim?
Luna pulled Tim out from behind, and in front of Qin Song, Tim looked very restrained, and even rubbed his hands a little scared, stammering: "Return, return to Your Excellency the Wise Man." That ......"
"Don't be nervous, Tim. Qin Song's tone was kind.
"You idiot. Luna patted Tim's sleeve with a look of hatred on his face, which was a special opportunity for him to perform: "Show you the courage to twitter in front of me." ”
"Oh. Tim's face was hot, and he swallowed and spit: "I found seventeen of these wheat trees in the field. ”
"Seventeen. Qin Song nodded slightly, his gaze fell on Luna's body, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "Luna, it seems that you need a new test field." These seventeen wheat plants will become seeds, and if their offspring can still maintain this wonderful mutation. Then, perhaps, we can promote planting throughout the Blackstone Collar, and you will benefit the entire Blackstone Collar, and people may never worry about eating. ”
"That's true!" Alice also realized the great potential of this wheat, and gave Luna a big hug, "Luna, I believe in you!
Elena, who was on the side, curiously fiddling with the huge ears of wheat, suddenly blinked: "Luna, don't you like names? Perhaps, we can give this wheat a loud name." In this way, when the farmer grows the wheat and eats it, he will always remember it. ”
"Why don't you call it Luna Wheat!" Alice's cheeks flushed with excitement, "I seem to see the black stone collar of the coming year, the endless fields, the golden waves of Luna wheat shining everywhere, and every farmer's face is blooming with a warm smile, in the field, singing the praises of Luna's natural gifts." ”
"Really...... Is it really possible?" Luna's eyes sparkled brightly, and it would be a sight for everyone to remember her name and sing the praises of her gifts.
"Of course you can!" Qin Song nodded heavily, in his eyes, Luna was simply an otherworldly version of the agricultural god - Yuan Lao, who would definitely set off a grand agricultural revolution.
"Maybe we can change it to Luna No. 1 Wheat. I believe that the divine powers of nature that the gods have given you have have the potential to go far beyond that. In the future, there will probably be Luna Two Wheat Corn, Luna One Corn, Luna Two Corn and so on. One day, when people enjoy a sumptuous meal at the table, they will not forget who brought them a gift!"
"Okay!" Luna clenched her fists excitedly, "Qin, let's call it Luna One!"
Qin Song looked at Luna with trust, and his tone was firm: "Trust me, Luna, you will rewrite history!"
Alice smiled sweetly, "To celebrate the birth of Luna One, it seems that our dinner is going to be a little richer." ”
The dinner was indeed sumptuous, cooked by Qin Song himself, with pan-fried eel, stewed rabbit, pea soup, fried chicken nuggets with onions, and boiled wild lamb, and the staple food was Luna's wisdom cake.
Tim, who had eaten at the same table with Qin Song for the first time, was a little reserved at first, but soon, his taste system was overwhelmed by the delicious food that filled the table, compared to the salted meat, fish porridge, and unpalatable black bread, these delicacies seemed to be shining, and they were simply delicacies that only gods could enjoy.
Then, he made the most important decision - to stay here.
......
"Qin, is there anything special about these crystals?"
Under the flickering candlelight, those few buzzing crystals flickered with a faint amber halo, and Qin Song was carefully observing the arrangement of the scales and the sound of pressing them.
The lower width and the upper narrow spindle structure, the scales are in three layers, and the distribution is very regular, the first circle has three scales in the upper circle, the lower circle has six scales, and the last circle narrows to three scales, a total of 12 scales. And the sound of each scale is different.
Alice and Elena, who were on the side, also held their own buzzing crystals, pressed the scales curiously, and listened to the sound.
"Alice, this thing is the buzzer of the insect. Qin Song pointed to the scales on it and explained, "The giant insect I saw in the cave should be the leader of the swarm. And its huge buzzer is the sound tool that commands the swarm. And these little beep crystals, will respond. ”
"Do insects also communicate through sound?" Elena with a buzzer in her hand felt the most special, and there seemed to be a power quietly sprouting in her body.
"Yes. Even bugs have a unique way of communicating. Some bugs use sounds, others use smells, and they vary. Qin Song nodded, glanced at Elena, and prayed in his heart that she would be able to discover her divine power and activate these buzzers.
"These buzzers are so quiet. Alice pressed the scales against her ear, and only a subtle 'squeak' could be heard.
"During last night's meditation, I received a hazy revelation. These insect crystals seem to hide some kind of wonderful knowledge, which has not yet been discovered by us. ”
"Qin, Alice, do you have any strange feelings?" Elena frowned slightly, the smooth crystal gave her more and more strange feelings, especially when she pressed those scales, a strange melody would echo in her mind.
"Strange feeling?" Qin Song felt a hint of surprise in his heart, it seemed that Elena was about to find something.
"Yes. Alice said just now that the voice was very small. But...... I felt that the sound was small, but it seemed to have an aftersound, like an echo in a cave, that would last for a long time. ”
"Echo?" Alice picked up the buzzer, pressed it several times but only heard a short sound, and couldn't help but shake her head and said, "No, I can't hear it." Qin, what about you?"
"I can't hear it either. Qin Song shook his head and looked at Elena intently.
"Can't you hear me?" Elena was a little surprised, fiddling with the buzzing crystal in her hand: "Isn't this one in my hand different from yours?"
As she spoke, she picked up a new one from the table and pressed it a few times. Suddenly, the wonderful power in her body was aroused, and through her fingertips, it merged into the buzzer.
Then, under the surprised gaze of Alice and Qin Song, the inside of the crystal flickered as if breathing, and then the scales spontaneously emitted a wonderful rhythm.
Squeak, ding, rustle, chirp, drip......
Elena was stunned, then her eyebrows furrowed, and she smiled in surprise: "I sensed a new power......"
Almost at the same time, something even more amazing happened, the resonant crystal that lay across the table, along with Elena's words, the scales vibrated rhythmically, emitting a clear and perfectly synchronized sound, and even the tone was exactly the same: "I feel a new power." ”
