He proposes a workable solution to the greatest weakness of the "Wall of Rose Thorns", which is at least simpler and easier than researching a large labyrinth enchantment dedicated to the elements of ice and fire magic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hybridization!

Zhou Dong's knowledge and solution is to cross-improve the rose variety so that it has good fire resistance or cold resistance, so that the weakness is no longer a weakness.

This is quite feasible, because on the continent of Faerun, there are many exotic flowers and plants, and there are many plants that grow near lava and volcanoes, not to mention ice and snow.

In Zhou Dong's vision, because the elven druids have the ability to accelerate the growth of plants, it is quite good to use this ability to carry out hybrid experiments, and it is also very critical, and there is no need to establish an experimental degree that requires various high-precision instruments, as long as the data and information management is done well, some results can be made.

As for the elves, it's not that they haven't considered other methods, so why do they pin their hopes on Zhou Dong, who only has a theory?

The reason is still that the "Lost Lock Enchantment", an elven high magic, is difficult to cast and its incalculable and terrible consequences.

The Mystery Barrier is a long-lasting magical effect created by a group of spellcasters that can cover a large area, and its power can fundamentally change the magic rules of the area by distorting the magic net of the local area, and the effect is very domineering.

The more powerful power of the Lost Locks, the defensive abilities that represent the pinnacle of the elves' higher magical powers, are rarely summoned, but they were widely used in the days when the ancient elves dominated Toriel, and even quite a few ancient and powerful Lost Chains can be found around the world, the most famous of which is the Lost Chains of Lost City.

Most of the Chains that still exist today have been decayed, but they still stubbornly resist various dispel effects, and still create various strange effects themselves, including the frenzied magic area, where the magic web has been distorted and the magic rules have been fundamentally changed, resulting in many strange phenomena here.

Each Lock's mutation has a different effect.

Each Mystery Lock is created through a high magic ritual of the Elves, and the magic areas created by the Locks regulate different states within their control.

Some Chains protect forests by suppressing fire and blasting magic; Others increase the power of elven gods or scrolls, while decreasing the power of non-elven magic.

Another example is the city of Shanachi, which was once the seat of the evil Shane Empire, and the ruins of this city called Shanaci are to Tesser, what the dungeon below is to Waterdeep.

The ruins are filled with magical effects left over from ancient wars, and Shanacchi is guarded by a magic similar to a Mystery Lock, which prevents the undead from escaping, maximizes fire magic, minimizes the effects of cold magic, makes the magic fired slow as if crawling, and cancels the effects of necromancy.

The Elven Chanter is a gifted spellcaster, but he has no longer mastered the spellcasting ability of the Lost Lock Enchantment, nor does he have enough power to support the powerful energy required to cast the Lost Lock Enchantment.

"By the way, there's one more thing, McGurgly, you bring a patrol, some animals report to me, and in the valley outside the forest, there seems to be some evil aura watching us."

The Elven Chanter mentions another thing.

"We don't seem to have any major conflicts with any forces over the years, and there are no artifacts and treasures in the forest, how can we be targeted." McGill didn't quite understand.

"So I need you to investigate, and if you can try to catch a few alive and come back for interrogation." The elven singer said that as a manager, he naturally had to be thick-hearted, and he couldn't think as carefree and naïve as ordinary elves.

"I see." Elder McGall is the strongest elven ranger known on the surface of the Surdash tribe, except for the elven chanter, who is very good at using bows and dual swords, and is also Calder's teacher.

……

The tribes of the forest are full of giant trees dozens of feet high, and there are many tree houses made of kudzu vines wrapped around the branches, which is the main residence of the elves.

However, there are also some special elves in the Wildas Forest who like to live on the ground, so in a treehouse, you can also see a group of wooden houses on the ground, which is usually used by guests of other races.

However, today, in the open space next to the wooden house group, a greenhouse-like place has been set up according to Zhou Dong's instructions to experiment with hybrid roses.

The plan had started the night before, and thanks to the druids' natural magic, the growth rate of the plants had been accelerated, but it wasn't a panacea.

If you want to breed new varieties with stable genetic traits, you need a lot of experimental screening, and now a group of dozens of druids, under the leadership of Zhou Dong, are conducting the first batch of research.

Due to the direct fusion of ice and fire resistant plants, it will definitely be more difficult, and Zhou Dong is now a scientific researcher in another world, and he also has other thoughts.

In order to make the elven singer here believe in himself more and invest more manpower and material resources, he knows very well that he needs to make some visible results.

So, Zhou Dong chose to choose a poison ivy with strong paralyzing ability, which also has a body of thorns.

And now the first round of work in this hybrid cultivation greenhouse is to let ordinary roses of all colors be transplanted and crossed with it, to observe which way, what proportion, which part will get the best effect, and also to test whether their traits are stable, and whether they have the ability to be stably inherited.

You must know that the mules born to horses and donkeys are infertile, which is a typical phenomenon and one of the key items that must be focused on in cross-breeding.

Zhou Dong was pointing at the scene, and Liya, who was unwilling to stay with his other clansmen and accept the fingering, also chose to come and spend time with him.

In order to see if this elf girl has the value of cultivation, Zhou Dong specially gave her a notebook and a pen, and asked her to serve as her own recording assistant to see her thinking mode.

As for Calder, he had been away from this place for less than a month, and now he had driven here again, and after the initial embarrassment, he was happy to play with his friends who had been here before.

In addition to a large row of planting soil in the greenhouse, there are several wooden houses at the end, one of which is a special sample laboratory for Zhou Dong, and the others have seed material warehouses......

"The second generation of the eighteenth had a mild rejection two hours ago, and after performing the miracle, it recovered to a slight rejection, and has been included in the list of key observation subjects...... The second generation of No. 66 is in ......"

Liya is dutifully reporting to Zhou Dong the information she has collected and recorded, this kind of thing is also new and interesting for her, and she has done it well in a short period of time.

Zhou Dong is using a self-made weak microscope, observing the cell integration state of two different plants, the principle of the microscope does not involve electrons, after all, the microscope is not only an electron microscope, the original invention is an optical microscope, only need to manufacture a lens arm, converter, condenser, stage, mirror base, etc. plus other spherical transparent lenses, can form an optical microscope that can also be fully restored in this world.

It was the appearance of this kind of thing that surprised the Elven Chanter and the other elves, thus deepening the credibility of the feasibility of Zhou Dong's proposed plan.

However, while the two were working leisurely, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in."

The master said without looking back, the door opened, and then Lia was a little surprised.

"Winness, why are you here?"

"Miss, your friend has woken up."

The person who came was the elven woman Jane had seen when she first woke up, and Vinnice and Leah, like Leah, had a white and bluish moon elf complexion, which would always stand out in the elven tribe of the Veldas Forest of wood elves and wild elves.

However, Winness's face and temperament are like beautiful women in her thirties, and Leah is a young and energetic elf girl in her twenties.

"Leah, you go and inform Calder first, I'll clean up this place, and I'll go over."

Zhou Dong said lightly, and didn't look back at them, compared to mixing these things, the experiments at hand now are more attractive to him.

He waited until he had temporarily marked some samples and put them in order, and then left the place.

……

But before Jane could recuperate in the treehouse, an attendant of the tribal brigade commander came to lead the way.

When it was time for lunch, Jane was here, but only a few words of conversation, because the elven chanter was also here, and his aura was not small.

During the meal, there is no conversation, and it is not until dessert time after the main meal that everyone begins to talk casually.

However, this time it was not so casual, because the elf singer rarely took the initiative to talk to Zhou Dong, and the others lowered the volume of communication with the people around them or simply stopped.

"Erik, what do you think of Leah?"

To everyone's surprise, the elven singer actually hit a straight ball directly, and many of the people present had strange faces.

At this table, there is a family of elven singers, and there are guests of relatively distinguished status, about nearly twenty people in total.

Zhou Dong was also a little surprised, because he didn't anticipate the possibility of this, so he didn't collect relevant information, and if he didn't have enough information, he couldn't judge casually, so he could only answer at the right time: "Liya...... In my opinion, he is a very good adventurer, and he is also very humble and eager to learn. ”

But what is surprising is that after hearing this, the elf singer just smiled slightly, and stopped continuing the topic, as if he had just asked casually, but his identity was Leah's father, and the object of the question was the young Eric, which naturally made some people think crookedly.

After lunch, the wife of the current tribal patriarch also beckoned Ria to leave first, apparently having something to talk about.

Calder was also ordered to follow Elder McGill and join the patrol to patrol the neighborhood, which could be said to be a punishment for him sneaking out to find his sister and become an adventurer, or it could be said to be a kind of grind.

Zhou Dong and Jane, as guests, naturally found an opportunity to leave.

The two of them walked in the warm afternoon sun, the Vildas Forest at this time was very beautiful, the sun wanted to pass through the forest at noon in early May, but the dense leaves of the tall giant trees divided them into fragmented light and shadow paintings, the cicadas and birds chirped and sang softly, and the slightly warm afternoon wind blew on the two people walking in the shade, and only made them feel comfortable, especially Jane after the coma first woke up.

"Eric, what's going on?"

Faced with questions, Zhou Dong was like a smart recorder, briefly recounting the experiences of the group since she fell into a coma.

went to the Wildas Forest, and then Zhou Dong also taught a few elves who were not long-eyed, made a misunderstanding and solved it, faced the elf king, and then got Leah's true identity, he was not surprised, but Leah and Calder were a little embarrassed, after all, they concealed their identities.

Then he learned about the project plan of "Wall of Rose Thorns", and Zhou Dong took advantage of the plan to offer advice to the elf singer and further break into the inner circle of this elf tribe, which naturally had the intention of eroding the force.

If you want to build a territory on the human side, you must first become a knight noble, and you must do something that can be regarded as a meritorious achievement, so that you can have a chance to obtain a fief given by the lord, and this fief can be taken back by other lords at any time, and you have to pay taxes every month.

Zhou Dong, who was born in human society, chose between elves and humans, and of course he preferred to get a piece of territory first on the elf society.

With his means, as long as there is a territory for him to operate, some people with enough intelligence, with these two foundations, he can develop rapidly.

"Oh...... It seems that you are highly regarded by the elven singers. After hearing this, Jane said with a little meaning.

Zhou Dong frowned, he wasn't sure if Jane liked him, if so, then if there was a chance, he would let the other party dispel this idea.

Feelings are not such a thing that is easy to manipulate, the more you understand the knowledge of the mind, just like a circle theory, the bigger the circle of knowledge you have, the more you feel that there are more mysteries that you don't know outside, and the more you feel small.

Zhou Dong too, except for the beginning, for a long time, he thought that he knew the human mind very well, and he could also easily control other intelligent beings based on his understanding of human beings.

However, in the eighteen years since he recently obtained the knowledge of this world of Faerun, which is completely different from the scientific and technological world he knew before, Zhou Dong has secretly let his men capture and capture many otherworldly creatures in the first layer of Heavenly Mountain, opening a broader door to spiritual knowledge, and thus beginning to become very modest.

Humans are simple and complex, just like Go.

In the original world, there is an interesting saying that Go is known for its complex variations. According to the calculation that there may be black, white, and empty at each point of the 361 intersections of the chessboard, the number of possible positions on the chessboard reaches 361 to the power of 3, which is an astronomical number, in fact, taking into account the changes such as robbery and grape, the number of changes is much larger, and after each fall, there are about 200 possible moves.

Thus, for Go, all the possibilities add up to more than the number of atoms in the universe.

Before he began to understand the mind of Fei Lun's intelligent beings, Zhou Dong was in a very rudimentary state.

The knowledge he has of the human mind is like a novice who is just learning Go, and he has only learned the simplest principle, that is, four of our players can raise/eat the enemy, and when all the pieces on both sides are finished, the one who eats the enemy the most is the winner.

In the past, Zhou Dong's understanding was so superficial, thinking that as long as he grasped the fundamental desires of human beings, such as greed and lust, he could do whatever he wanted.

But now, Zhou Dong knows that there are other concepts such as robbery, grapes, hanging corners, and making games, which is equivalent to a two-dimensional creature suddenly understanding that there are many other dimensions.
