"This is the headquarters of the Necromancy, and I'm not interested in how to grow peas more efficiently."
Rockfield said this, took the paper, and then instructed his assistant.
"You go and get me all the papers on pea research, oh, except for the cooking ones."
The assistant was a little confused, but seeing that his teacher's appearance didn't look like a joke, he immediately took his leave and rushed to the archives.
Rockfield found a clean bench and placed the paper on the table.
"Hybridization Experiments on Peas, and Some Explanations and Hypothesis Tests of Experimental Results".
The title of this paper, which seems to be more like an agricultural paper, is easy to ignore, and the research related to planting and animal husbandry is also classified under the necromantic system, but there is a lack of specific theories, most of them only rely on actual planting and cultivation, and there are more measurements and definitions of new varieties found in the wild.
But since it can be presented to Rockfield, this paper will certainly not be a simple breeding paper.
Turning the page, Rockfield was first pleasing to the eye by Reiner's standard format, because the necromancer studied something closer to ancient magic, so the theoretical aspect was not complete, and the format of the paper was mixed, the derivation process and the experiment were intertwined, and there were many useless repetitions, which made Rockfield very dissatisfied.
"Maybe we can implement this essay format in the Immortal Throne and force those guys to be serious!"
Rockfield was a fast reader, and he was naturally aware of some of the properties of peas, and he quickly understood why Reiner was experimenting with this plant, and he keenly noticed the concept of blood factor mentioned by Reiner, and slowed down his reading speed slightly.
"Bloodline factor? This is an interesting hypothesis, and it seems that everything after this paper is based on this hypothesis. ”
If you only look at this, then Rockfield's conclusion to this paper may be "a paper with innovative thinking".
But soon, Rockfield remembered a paper by his colleague that had been published three months earlier in the academic journal Scalpel, published by the Immortal Throne.
In that paper, the author tried to study the internal structure of the cell, and he used a special dye to stain a part of the cell without affecting the others.
The authors refer to this substance collectively as chromosomes, which are tissues that can be stained.
Next, the authors of the paper took other species for study, and found that chromosomes are found in large numbers in a variety of different species, from humans to magical creatures to animals and plants.
The paper speculates about these substances as the basic building blocks of cells, and as for their effects, it is impossible to know.
The reason why Rockfield thought of this paper was because he suddenly felt that this substance of unknown effect seemed to be somewhat similar to the blood factor that Reiner said.
"Let's take a look at the follow-up of the paper first."
Putting this thought away, Rockfield continued to read the paper.
On the premise of accepting the existence of the bloodline factor, Reiner's experiment was easy to understand, and whenever Rockfield had doubts, the next paragraph of the paper would immediately answer those doubts, as if he were talking to the author directly, so that the high-ranking mage had a very comfortable reading experience.
"Is the law of separation and the law of free combination...... Judging from the experimental phenomena of the paper, there is indeed nothing wrong with these two laws. ”
Rockfield bowed slightly, the experiment itself was quite basic, and he believed that many people could encounter similar situations in the process of growing peas, but it was admirable to be able to sort it out, and finally summarize the theory for designing experiments.
This requires careful observation, serious thinking, and more importantly, a pioneering spirit.
And, at the end of the paper, Reiner also called for similar experiments on various organisms to find the universality of these genetic laws, which is even more valuable.
"Interesting."
Rockfield read the paper again and breathed a sigh of relief.
"If this paper is read by the pure-bloods, there is no point in what will happen."
If the existence of bloodline factors can be proven, then the thousand-year-old inheritance of the pure-blood faction may actually be just the inheritance of a few bloodline factors, which can be transplanted through methods that are now less secretive, in other words, it is easy to obtain the abilities of these bloodline mages.
You must know that the fusion of bloodlines in the past was not so simple, it was necessary to constantly fuse blood, temper the body with magical power, and spend a long time to get the pure-blood family it is today.
The pure-blood faction is also proud of its long history and pure bloodline, and to be honest, the advantage that a pure-blood family member can quickly advance as long as they can awaken their abilities is indeed a dream for many people.
But Rockfield, as a high-level mage of the necromantic system, naturally knew that in the past three hundred years, due to the prohibition of using ordinary people to conduct human bloodline fusion experiments, the pure-blood family has lost most of the means to improve its own bloodline, which can be clearly seen from the mage rank of the pure-blood family.
During the period of the Ancient Magic Empire, there was still no shortage of high-level powerhouses in order to compete with the ancient mages, but with the passage of time, the strength of the bloodline mages became weaker and weaker, which was irreversible by intermarriage.
In the past three hundred years, the twenty-seven pure-blood families have not even had a single high-level mage, and if it weren't for the help of Lord Braggs during the Magic Revolution, these families would have been eaten up by other forces.
"Two papers shattered the theoretical foundations of the alchemy school. Is Ian Grey going to do it to pure-blood mages again? ”
Rockfield sighed that if the mystery of heredity is solved, it will not only be the pure-bloods who will be impacted.
For thousands of years, the mage has been committed to the exploration of two directions, one is the outside world, hundreds of half-planes, and now the brilliant magic theory that describes the world is the result of exploration of the outside world.
On the other hand, it is the exploration of oneself.
Compared with the exploration of the world, the mages have too little exploration of themselves, not to mention the essence of magic and the feedback of the world, and even the mysteries inside the human body, how such a sophisticated body works, there is no way to explain clearly.
If the bloodline factor in Reiner's paper is found and confirmed, the impact on the necromancy system will be no less than that of the modern magic revolution.
"Looks like I'm going to have to write a letter...... No, I'd better go there myself. ”
Rockfield pondered for a long time before muttering to himself.
