Charlie is not sure about this bet, what he can rely on is the biological knowledge stored in the chip, as well as decades of academic career and scientific research experience.

If he loses, he loses a magical equipment worth 2,000 gold, and if he wins, he will be temporarily free from Griffin's possible revenge and persecution by the Pavel family's mastermind, and he will be one step closer to magic.

Comparing the risks and benefits, this bet is worth a try.

Charlie began to look at the interior of the room, the top of which was inlaid with a glowing crystal, under which a huge parasol was placed, erected, which could be used to control the time of day.

Under the parasol is a wooden table, on which are placed several clay pots, soil, fertilizer, water, all one by one, and more than a dozen pots of weeping grass seedlings.

The basic conditions of the two are the same, the difference is that maca planting experience, familiar with the life cycle of weeping grass, and has a set of mature cultivation methods, while Charlie needs to find the law of weeping grass within at least two days and formulate a better cultivation plan, so that it is possible to catch up with the backward momentum in the next few days.

It's a pity that there is no professional genetic analysis instrument, otherwise, as long as you get the genetic analysis data, the habits of weeping grass are clear at a glance.

Charlie took a deep breath, sat down, let go of all the distractions in his mind, and went into a state of concentration.

Charlie picked up a pot of weeping grass seedlings and carefully inspected them under the light, each seedling was planted in a small clay pot the size of a fist, and with the help of the chip, the appearance data of the seedlings was clear at a glance.

The gray-white buds, translucent, contain two undeveloped buds and curved stems, about 3.12 cm high, curved as a whole, the tips of the buds are shrunk in the innermost, facing downward, next to the soil, like a shy doll, pouting its buttocks and burying its head in the dirt.

Charlie noticed a very subtle phenomenon, when it moved the seedling into the bright light, the bud shrunk tighter, and when the seedling was put back into the shadow, it could be clearly felt that it was "relaxed", these reactions were extremely subtle, and only the micron-level changes could be detected by the micro-level vision and super memory function under the enhanced effect of the chip.

Charlie needs to verify his opponent's words for his own, and the current situation shows that the weeping grass will respond to light stimuli, but it does not mean that it likes yin or yang, and it needs to be observed for a longer time.

The reason why Charlie criticized the cultivation method of the botanical garden is that they focus too little and pay too little attention to the granularity.

For example, they will pay attention to the degree of fertility of the soil, and Master Ron rented Fort William because of the soil in the castle: loose, fertile, and permeable.

However, on Earth, botanists will pay attention to the composition of the soil itself, acidity and alkalinity, the proportion of trace elements, the content of organic matter, the number of microorganisms, etc., and these data will be quantified to find the most suitable ratio.

For example, will they pay attention to whether the plant likes shade or yang?

Earth's botanists will accurately calculate the plant's acceptance of sunlight, light intensity and time, and the optimal ratio of photosynthesis and respiration.

For example, they will focus on watering the plants.

And botanists will study the state of water that the plant prefers, the acidity and alkalinity, the trace element content, and so on.

In addition to these factors, there are also air temperatures, air humidity, air quality, wind intensity, pollination, insect control, associated weed control, and so on.

Charlie believes that the Earth is far ahead of the continent in this regard.

With all these factors in mind, Charlie began experimenting to find the best environment for crying grass to grow.

Before starting the experiment, Charlie needs to prepare a secret weapon - homemade organic fertilizer, which is a great weapon for him to deal with Maca.

Charlie pressed the alarm bell, and unsurprisingly, Martin did not leave, and Brian, worried about Charlie's safety, did not leave.

Martin saw the room as it was, and smiled, "What? Does Ethan have any requests?"

Charlie asked, "I need something, but I don't know if it's allowed?"

Martin smiled proudly, "As long as you don't bring in the finished weeping grass, that's fine." ”

"Good. Charlie smiled slightly, handed him the written list in his hand, and said, "Please help me transfer it to my uncle, this is what I want, please help him prepare it for me, the sooner the better." ”

Martin frowned slightly, and involuntarily looked at the paper in his hand.

Light gauze, rotting leaves, fruit peels, bird droppings, straw, kitchen waste......

What is this?

Martin looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see the reason inside, could it be that this was a home remedy from their hometown?

Martin looked at Charlie with suspicion, he faintly felt that something was not quite right, but the words had been thrown out, it was not easy to change his words, and Martin chose Crying Grass as the exam question, and actually buried a pit here, Crying Grass has a necessary process before it grows into an adult plant, if it is not done, the quality of Crying Grass will drop by at least 60%, and this process is only known to the caregivers who work on the front line, he doesn't believe that Brian knows this detail, let alone his nephew knows this detail.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if he knows this detail, Maca is a three-shouldered blue-collar gardener, who has been immersed in plant cultivation for more than ten years, and ranks in the top five in Master Ron Botanical Garden, how could he lose to a rookie who doesn't even have hair?!

Martin found a bunch of reasons in his mind and handed the paper to Brian, who was also in a state of confusion when he saw the things on the paper, and his reaction made Martin feel a little comforted.

......

Time passed minute by minute, and in Charlie's precise vision, the weeping grass grew rapidly in a way that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and it was indeed a plant that could become a plant in seven days, and the growth momentum was much faster than that of ordinary plants, which gave Charlie a sense of urgency, the faster the weeping weed grew, the less time was left for him to study.

Brian also knew how much Charlie attached importance to this competition, so he did the best he could, and the things on the list were collected in categories and packed in bags, neatly and in large quantities.

Ten minutes passed, and Brian rushed back, bringing all his belongings, which had been reviewed by the overseers and handed over to Charlie.

Next, Charlie sets out to make his secret weapon.

Charlie prepared a large clay pot, sprinkled a layer of soil at the bottom of the clay pot, moistened it with water, minced the rotten leaves, rotten leaves, peels, straws, and kitchen garbage, mixed it with bird droppings, and mixed it with the soil according to the scientific ratio of homemade fertilizer in the chip, and sprinkled it layer after layer, and each layer was sprinkled with water, until the clay pot was full, and a pot of black debris was stuffed.

Charlie covered the mouth of the pot with a bag, sealed it, placed it in a corner of the room, took out a magic staff, and cast a variant of the "Flame Hand" to keep the temperature around the pot at about 40 degrees.

Fermentation is a necessary step in the manufacture of organic fertilizer, the general fermentation cycle is relatively long, and it needs to be prepared a period of time in advance, Charlie has no time, so he can only artificially increase the temperature to speed up the efficiency of fermentation.

"This thing probably has a 1-20% chance of winning for me!" Charlie thought silently.

Then, Charlie began experimenting with the seedlings, the first round of light response.

Charlie wrote a line on the paper:

A group of experimental subjects, two weeping grass seedlings, strong light environment, moist water, no fertilization, temperature 21 degrees.

The two groups of experimental subjects, two seedlings of weeping weeping grass, low-light environment, moist water, no fertilization, and a temperature of 21 degrees.

Three groups of subjects, two weeping grass seedlings, no light environment......

In order to highlight the experimental effect, other factors must be excluded, so the rest of the conditions are exactly the same except for the different lighting effects, and each test subject contains two seedlings, which can avoid some unpredictable special conditions from interfering with the experimental results.

What followed was a long and boring waiting time, and Charlie had to tell the growth and development of the six seedlings with the naked eye.

......

Three hours passed, and Charlie began to observe the results of the experiment.

Subject 1, both seedlings shrank to a certain extent, and the growth was slightly inhibited, and Subjects 2 and 3, with a height of 321 microns, grew normally, but the contrast between the two was not obvious, and the expected results were about the same.

The conclusion of the first round of experiments was that the strong light environment would inhibit the growth of weeping grass seedlings.

The light experiment is a small step in accumulation, and although the effect is not particularly ideal, at least one factor has been ruled out.

The second round of temperature reaction.

The temperature was divided into three grades: 10 degrees, 20 degrees, and 30 degrees, and placed in a low-light and non-light environment, respectively, and this time there were six groups of test subjects.

The duration of this round of experiments was set at six hours, and the longer the time, the greater the difference and the more the effects of different conditions could be distinguished.

Looking out of the window, the people outside were almost gone, Brian still had his own business, and Martin couldn't stand the boredom of the game and left the scene, leaving only two supervisors to monitor the experimental site.

Another long wait......

Until sunset and darkness outside the window, Charlie's biological clock woke him up, and he looked at the door lock, intact.

Charlie then began to review the results of the second round of experiments.

Charlie had a long-lost smile on his face, something unexpected happened, but it was a surprise, and the odds of winning were two percent more.

Generally speaking, the seedlings in the low-light environment grew more rapidly, and the buds and leaves of all subjects were already unfolded, while the seedlings in the low-light environment showed an inhibitory response.

At the same time, the three groups of experimental subjects in the low-light environment, there are some differences, the seedlings under 10 degrees grow the most rapidly, but also the healthiest, the buds and leaves are not only all expanded, the leaves are larger, and the gray-white reveals a hint of light purple, which is different from other individuals, and the growth is the best.

Charlie wrote down the conclusion of the second round of experiments with a brisk mood: maintaining low temperatures in a low-light environment is the best environment for the development of weeping grass seedlings.

In this way, Charlie found two favorable factors and accumulated a little bit of advantage.

At this time, there was a knock at the door, and when it was time for dinner, Charlie blocked the layout of the room, opened the door, took the food, and locked the door.

In the evening, the experiment continues, while the third round will be a humidity experiment.
