Chapter 5: Transforming Lychees
Full of wine and food, Hong's mother and Zhou's mother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Hong's father and Zhou's father made tea on the stone table in the courtyard.
In addition to drinking a bottle of liquor, the three of them drank more than 20 bottles of beer, as authentic farmers, they would drink a few glasses after their daily work, which could not only eliminate fatigue but also be regarded as a reward for today, so the amount of alcohol in Father Hong and Father Zhou was not bad. But I didn't expect that Hong Yan, who used to have a maximum of three bottles of beer, also drank two glasses of liquor and more than a dozen bottles of beer today, the most important thing is that he didn't seem to be drunk after drinking these, it seems that the mechanical insect has transformed his alcohol consumption together.
"As the saying goes, half-drunk is the most painful, and it's true." Hong Yan muttered to himself and spit out, he even had a feeling that he wanted to have another three hundred cups.
But there was no chance today, he lay on the bed with his eyes closed, remembering the worries of his parents about the lychee harvest at the dinner table just now, and couldn't help frowning.
After studying abroad for so many years, his parents are worried about everything at home, and he is obviously too incompetent as a son. I remembered what happened two days ago, and I scrapped my arm, although in the end it was the mechanical worm that repaired my arm, but if my parents knew, I guess I would have to worry about it again.
Thinking about it, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Aren't the lychees at home afraid that they won't be able to sell? If your lychee is better than others, isn't it a problem to sell?
He wouldn't have been able to do this a few days ago, but now with the mechanical bugs, wouldn't it be easy to solve it? After all, a mechanical insect can even change the genes of his body, so there's no reason why he can't change a plant.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible, and he also got a positive answer from the mechanical bug AI.
Although the moon is now in the treetops, Hong Yan, as a man of action, still decided to go into his own lychee forest to verify his idea.
He picked up an outdoor flashlight, greeted his parents who were still chatting in the yard and the parents of the Zhou family, and went out.
After a short time, he came to the lychee forest, and randomly found a lychee tree that was already full of fruits, and stopped, although it was now full of lychees, but it was not ripe, and the peel was still green, and only a few lychees were red.
He contacted the AI and asked, "What do you do now?" ”
The robot AI replied in a cold voice, "Please touch the object you need to modify with your right hand." ”
Without hesitation, Hong Yan raised his right hand and directly grabbed the trunk of the lychee. In an instant, countless mechanical insects on the original right hand rushed towards the lychee tree, and in less than ten seconds, Hong Yan's entire right arm was gone.
Seeing the sudden disappearance of his right arm, Hong Yan was really startled, he obviously didn't estimate this situation, although it didn't bleed or hurt, it was terrifying enough.
But there was no time for him to think about it, and the mechanical insects that flowed from his right arm to the lychee tree instantly sank into the trunk. Immediately after that, he was able to display various parameters of the lychee tree in front of his eyes, and the AI used voice to summarize them.
Including variety, tree age, ripening cycle, number of fruits, weight, each fruit stage to maturity time, sweetness, moisture, various nutrients and trace elements, and even air composition, environmental humidity, soil composition, etc. are all presented in front of Hong Yan's eyes.
"Alien technology is really good." Hong Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"What's next?" Hong Yan continued to ask the AI.
"The host has already shown the basic parameters of the species in front of him, you only need to modify the percentage of the basic parameters to complete the setting, the robot will modify the DNA by itself, the time required to modify it depends on the set parameters, the higher the percentage, the longer it will take to complete."
After listening to the AI's explanation, it is not difficult to understand, for example, to increase the sweetness of lychees, Hong Yan only needs to increase the percentage of sweetness, and if you increase it by 20%, the lychees will be 20% sweeter than before the adjustment.
After thinking about it, Hong Yan increased the sweetness by 30 percent, the moisture by 15 percent, the size by 20 percent, and the ripening period by 50 percent.
This value was decided by him after three minutes of careful consideration, and it can be said that the percentage increase is not large, after all, if his lychee is too amazing than others, it will not be easy to explain, all he needs is to stand out.
AI: "After the setting, with the current number of mechanical bugs, it will take about four hours and twenty minutes to complete the modification, and the mission will begin."
When he heard that it would take more than four hours, Hong Yan couldn't help but want to complain again, one tree takes more than four hours, and he has thirty lychees at home, and it will be a few days after all the revisions are completed. Moreover, modifying Lychee's DNA takes up a mechanical bug, resulting in an empty right arm, which is not easy to explain in case it is discovered by his family.
"Is there any way to speed things up?" Hong Yan asked the AI again.
"Increase the number of mechanical bugs."
