Chapter 343 When Lydia, a hybrid who didn't smile, went to find a proposal for war mobilization, he was squatting in the field and looking at the plants.

"What is this doing?" Lydia couldn't help but ask.

"Hybridization." Without smiling, he looked at the leaves of this row of plants with a blank expression.

Lydia was puzzled: "Hybridization? ”

Buxiao stood up, "You said that your country was also in famine. ”

Lydia sighed, "Yes, most of the thousands of years of civilization has been spent starving. She remembered the descriptions of the Great Famine in ancient historical books, and even the short but tragic record of "changing children and eating".

"I remember you mentioned that it wasn't until a god appeared and increased food production several times that the food crisis was solved."

Lydia hesitated for a moment, but corrected, "I'm sorry, that master is just a mortal. ”

"To be able to do such a thing is already beyond the gods." Bu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter what the title was, "You mentioned once that the method he uses is called hybridization. ”

Lydia blinked, "So you tried to hybridize plants too?" ”

Buxiao nodded, "This plant can produce blueberry, strawberry, and raspberry fruits at the same time, and the yield has increased by at least three times." ”

Lydia suddenly felt that this style of art was a little weird.

Bu smiled and pointed to the red-leaved plant on the side, "This plant can produce pumpkins and rape flowers at the same time, which meets the needs of vegetables and oil extraction." ”

Lydia was dizzy for a while, and hurriedly held on to a tree trunk on the side, "Your understanding of 'hybridization' seems to be a little biased......

Buxiao stood up and patted the trunk of the tree, "This plant combines the leaves of lettuce, the fruit of corn, and the roots of sweet potatoes, and it is growing quite well so far." ”

Lydia felt her jaw almost drop to the ground: "Hybridization can only be hybridized by similar species, and your method is probably more like 'hybrid'." ”

Bu Xiao's expression is indifferent, and the words "I am the truth, no questioning" seem to be written on his face.

"However, there are drawbacks to this approach." The look of not smiling is rare and a little frustrated, "It's too much water." ”

According to conventional calculations, one kilogram of wheat generally needs one ton of water. These inexplicable plants cultivated without smiling have to be watered with three or five times the water. This is somewhat embarrassing for a country built in the desert.

Although it is said that most of these water resources enter the land, they will also evaporate into the water cycle. But the climate of the Wild Sand Empire has long been destroyed by war, and there has been no rainy season for many years, except for the occasional thunderstorm.

"Maybe you can use distillation to desalinate seawater?" Lydia suddenly asked, "If we build a canal from Wanghai Cliff and purify it to irrigate our crops, we should be able to get enough water, right?" ”

In fact, the thing Lydia is talking about is very simple in theory, which is to dig a sink and cover it with a glass plate diagonally. When the seawater is evaporated by the sun, it condenses on the glass plate and finally slides down the slope to the water purification area.

Buxiao expressed great satisfaction with the idea, and asked a question in passing: "Why don't you just take the species to the sea?" ”

Lydia just thought that she could use the things that crossed over to pretend to be a force, but she didn't expect to be dismantled just after she finished speaking. This made her sigh uncontrollably, "Forget it, the image of the genius admired by everyone in the novel is really not suitable for me." I'd better continue with my secondary route. ”

Buxiao was noncommittal about this, and suddenly asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Lydia then remembered that she had come with a proposal, and hurriedly took out the proposal about conscription and looked at it without laughing.

Buxiao glanced at it cursoryly, "You don't need to ask me about these things, you are the generalissimo, you decide." ”

Lydia stopped talking.

Without smiling at her, she looked at her expressionlessly, "You want someone to help you take on the pressure of decision-making?" ”

Lydia felt as honest as if she had no clothes in front of her unsmiling face, and inadvertently twisted, "If you always say this to my heart, I will feel very shameless." ”

Not smiling and blinking, "So? ”

Lydia snatched back the proposal, "I'll take care of my own business." ”

……

The moonlight was like water, sprinkled in the barracks.

It was already late at night, and all that was quiet was the snoring of soldiers.

In one of the tents in the long rows of tents, Lydia's eyes widened in the darkness of the night, tossing and turning.

The life and death of the soldiers, the fate of the Red Pavilion, and the cruelty of the war filled her heart with concerns.

She didn't dare close her eyes.

The moment she closed her eyes, she would see pairs of expectant eyes on both sides of the mighty procession. How many white-haired old people look longingly, and how many young children stand on tiptoe and watch.

"If no one responds to the mobilization order, there will be no need to fight......" she muttered to herself.

But when I closed my eyes again, I saw the flames of war in front of me. The elite of the Wild Sand royal family came out, and wherever the iron hooves went, there was not a single grass. Everywhere there were burned houses, everywhere there were crying women and children, everywhere there were corpses, everywhere there was blood......

Lydia clenched her fists in pain, "What should I do, what should I do?" ”

In deep self-blame and endless anxiety, she fell into a groggy sleep. Until the next day, she was woken up by the noise outside the tent, as if hundreds of people were arguing outside.

Lydia peered out through the crack in the curtain with sleepy eyes. This sight startled her and she fell to the ground.

Outside the door, a crowd surrounded the recruiting platform, and Filip stood on the high platform and shouted, "Friends, we are facing a serious threat. The royal family of the Wild Sand Empire is about to attack us. ”

"Kill them!" Someone shouted, and then more people raised their fists and shouted, "Kill them!" Kill them! ”

Fili's voice became even more impassioned, "Yes, we must not sit idly by, and we must not allow our homeland to be mired in war. And this time, we're going to take the initiative and break their bones! ”

"Break their bones!" The cries of the masses came one after another. Lydia looked at the surging crowd and was dumbfounded.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, if you don't comb your hair, you won't be able to come out to meet people." The voice of black snow suddenly sounded from outside the door curtain. She walked slowly into the tent with a pot of water.

Lydia pointed to the crowd outside, and for a moment she didn't know how to describe her feelings, so she could only draw blindly for a while.

Hei Ningxue indifferently put a few pages of newspaper in the corner of the table, "Are you curious why the determination of these people was ignited overnight?" ”

Lydia had a hunch that there must be something wrong with these pages, and hurriedly picked them up and read them: I saw that the headline on the front page read, "Shocked! The Tsar royal family has been corrupted by the demons, and a crisis is coming at any time"

"This is ......" Lydia hurriedly looked at the date, which turned out to be last month's newspaper, "who is so bold as to write such a thing?" ”

She raised her eyes to look at Hei Ningxue, "Could it be you?" ”

Hei Ningxue was flattered and shouted, "The concubine is just a maid, how can she write such a thing with such literary brilliance and majestic strategy?" ”

Lydia hurriedly flipped through a few other newspapers, not surprisingly from last month. The article inside is even more shocking:

Alert! The Speculative Strategies of the Lords of the Wild Sands", "Comparison of the Military Power of the Red Pavilion and the Imperial Family", "Analysis of the Fifteen Routes of the Invasion of the Wild Sand Empire", "Escape or Fight? The victory of the common people", "Sword to the sky, plant the flag in the palace!" 》

"Is there such a powerful strategist in this city?" Lydia took a cursory look at these articles and found that these articles were not only logically solid and well-founded, but also brilliant in writing, which made people go straight to the head and read them involuntarily.

But when she looked at the authors, she found that their pen names all had only one flower symbol. In this world, the meaning of this flower symbol is: anonymous.

"Could it be that Her Royal Highness the princess is still guessing who the author is?" Hei Ningxue took a towel and wet it and handed it to Lydia, "It seems that I don't laugh at the correspondence between Lord Smir and you, not too much." ”

Lydia was startled, but quickly came to her senses.

That's right, that guy must have seen through this conspiracy a long time ago, and what could he hide from him in this desert?

Perhaps before he set out for the eighteen tribes, he had already written all the articles for a month, and threw them to the people in the book and newspaper library to distribute them according to the designated daily periodicals.

In the past month, the residents of New Oasis City have gone from initial panic to gradual understanding of the meaning of war, and finally clear about the future situation, and they have already understood what choice to make next.

"Hey, Crohn, why are you here now, you idiot!" Eggers' shrill greetings could be heard from outside the tent.

I saw Crohn carrying a little girl on his shoulder, holding a boy in his hand, and the woman behind him carrying a boy on his back, swaying over and smiling honestly, "I thought active duty soldiers didn't need to sign up." ”

Captain Bard beckoned the other comrades to come over and fill out the form, "Active duty soldiers, come here to sign up." Hear me clearly, active duty military personnel are here; Non-active military personnel on the opposite side, on the other side, big brothers, on the other side, did you hear it? ”

The little girl patted Crohn's head reluctantly, "Daddy, are you really leaving?" ”

Crohn took the girl down and pressed her face well, "yes, Daddy's going to war." ”

The little girl's eyes flickered, as if she was about to shed tears, "Daddy, can you come back safely?" ”

Crohn still smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, remember the sand dunes that Dad told you about where you can see 10,000 stars?" ”

The girl nodded earnestly.

"Dad is going to take it back, and you can take our whole family to count the stars in the future, okay?"
