Chapter 22: Gossip
To the apprentices of magic, cultivating crops with wood spirit magic is as ridiculous as raising pigs with wine.
This is a tyrannical thing, and it is an insult to magic!
"Who has an opinion?"
Yu Sheng'an's gaze swept over the talking magic apprentices.
The magic apprentices looked at each other, and in the end, no one dared to question it, I don't know if it was the Greenman effect, or if the person who knew the times was Junjie.
"Good!"
Yu Sheng'an nodded in satisfaction, snapped his fingers, and a huge illusory scroll emerged, with a series of numbers written on it.
"I built a group, this is the group number, add it yourself, if you have any ideas and suggestions, send them directly to me privately, write well, add points, and have rewards. ”
After speaking, Yu Shengan arranged some trivial things, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.
For crop cultivation, to be honest, he actually doesn't know much.
However, after all, people who have received nine years of compulsory education still know the concepts of "dominant genes", "recessive genes", "directional breeding", "mutations", "mutagenesis" and so on.
Don't underestimate these concepts, with these concepts, to some extent, they are enough to be hundreds or even thousands of years ahead of this world biology.
The biology of this world relies too much on magic.
Basically, magic alters and distorts the growth of plants.
Yu Sheng'an didn't believe it, mastered these concepts, and had the conditions to implement them, and he had nearly one percent of the wood spirit magicians in the Keville Empire, and with the blessing of magic, he couldn't make himself ugly?
At that time, even if the crop yield is increased by 10%, it will be a considerable amount of money to the entire empire.
This will fill the bellies of more people, reproduce more people, and free up more labor!
All of this will be directly transformed into his power!
In fact, in the half month that the empire has popularized the Internet Divine Technique, he has also been consulting relevant materials and exploring the soil qualities of various parts of the empire on the spot, and he has basically had a preliminary idea in his heart.
However, before deciding to experiment, he decided to listen to the opinions of professionals, and listen to them!
After the meeting ended, Yu Sheng'an slowly walked to the back of the hall.
Few people know that in the underground of this "Forest of Magic" hall, in the past half month, Shengsheng has used earth magic to expand an underground space the size of a football field.
This is not an easy task in the capital of the Empire.
The difficulty is not in the expansion of the basement, but in the fact that the underground space of the empire is monitored by the magic tower, and without approval, it is excavated and activated by the magic tower to defend and counterattack, and it is squeezed into a pulp, which is not to blame for others.
Walking along the spiral staircase, you can walk to the basement, and look at the huge underground space, without any decoration, and open up into a square space in four square areas.
The surrounding walls, ceilings, and floors are all condensed into crystals with earth-based magic, making them look clean and beautiful.
On the ceiling, there are staggered arrangements of solidified light magic, illuminating the entire space.
At a glance, the basement is densely packed with countless glass boxes of different sizes.
The inside of the chest is engraved with redundant magic patterns, these are gravity magic patterns, and once activated, they can simulate microgravity space.
This will be the main battlefield for Yu Sheng'an to simulate the microgravity environment, mutagenesis crop mutations, and screen suitable crops.
"You have the right to do things!"
Yu Sheng'an looked at this high-standard laboratory, and his heart was full of ambition!
Choosing to start in the Kvir Empire is so wise!
......
"Lord Dundan, is this dementia crazy? Recruit all the wood spirit magic apprentices just to cultivate crops? This... It's ridiculous!!"
Marge, a magus who is one of the members of the Willis Magic Plantation Federation, slapped the table with an angry face.
Almost all of the magic plants grown in their plantations require a large amount of wood spirit magic to maintain.
Although they employ a few mages who are skilled in wood spirit magic, these people simply cannot sustain their large estate.
In the past, there were magical apprentices who worked as temporary workers, or even free labor.
Now that these people have been siphoned off, which is equivalent to the destruction of at least a fifth of their plantations, how can they not be angry?
"Isn't it just ridiculous? It's just stupid! If they don't say whether they can succeed or not, they can succeed, and those farmers who can't read a single word can plant?"
"Haha, don't you really think that the interconnected magic spreads throughout the empire, and everyone in the empire can become magicians?"
Several big owners of the botanical garden sneered with anger on their faces.
"Who is that Ajef, who can make Lord Dundan take it so seriously?"
"I don't know, it seems to have appeared out of nowhere. I've observed him, the magic fluctuations in his body are very weak, I don't think it's a magic master, or a magic apprentice, I prefer the former, maybe he is a magician recruited by Lord Dundan from another country!"
"No matter who he is! The Wood Spirit Magic Apprentice can't be swallowed by him, everyone, why don't we join forces to meet Lord Dundaner?"
"That's exactly what I wanted!"
"This is our responsibility to establish the [Willis Magic Plantation Federation]!"
After a little discussion, a group of plantation owners decided to join forces to put pressure on the god of law, Deng Daner.
At the same time, Ajef's name also caused a sensation in Felix because of this unprecedented large-scale collaborative magic experiment!
"Cultivating a small crop, can you use such a big battle, just a few magic apprentices are enough, right?"
"Cultivating crops with magic, he can remember!"
"What's wrong with researching? Studying crops? How much copper can you earn?"
"Who is this Ajef? Haven't you heard of it?"
"I haven't heard of it either, I checked the magicians registered on the official website of the empire, and I found no such person. ”
"According to the grapevine, he is a magician recruited from abroad by Lord Dundaner!"
"No wonder you give such a high salary, this is for people to see!"
"Nonsense, I heard that he belongs to Master Dundan...... Bastard?"
"Ah——? really?"
Under the cover and spread of the Internet, the storm of public opinion swept Felix!
From magic instructors to magic apprentices, the fire of gossip is burning!
Looking at everyone's views and attitudes, almost all of them are contemptuous and ridiculed.
Not to mention that magic research crops can drop the price? Even from the perspective of profits, it is not worth it!
There are basically two types of magic plants cultivated with wood spirit magic.
The first type is to forcibly interfere with and distort a certain feature of the plant through wood spirit magic to achieve the goal.
This method requires human intervention, even if it is only to interfere with the seeds, and there is no need to interfere later, and the price is not affordable for the farmer.
The second category is the direct cultivation of new varieties.
This is tantamount to the realm of God, who can study it?
Even if it is researched, it is equivalent to a brand new plant, and the farmer can buy it at most once, and then he can keep the seed himself, and he doesn't have to buy it again, is it worth it compared to the cost of research?
It's not worth it at all!
What? Sold at a high price?
Do those untouchables have that money?
To be honest, this is something that almost anyone with a little bit of magical knowledge should know, but Lord Dundan would not know?
Now that he knows, why did he approve this experimental project?
Even take all of Felix's wood-based magic apprentices to participate in the experiment?
Everyone can't figure it out, but it doesn't hinder everyone's imagination.
For a time, there were countless versions of Ajef's identity.
From foreign mysterious magicians, to illegitimate children of law gods, to members of the royal family, everyone's imagination and rumor-mongering ability have been completely activated by the Internet.
While the rumors were rampant, Dorothy knocked on the door of the Magic Forest with trepidation.
