Chapter 75: Wild Rice
Lu Feng makes his way to an artificial convoy that appears to be an abandoned artificial convoy on the surface, but is actually a secret hop point they have built.
Like other abandoned planets, the satellite was full of non-degradable garbage, and Chen Su watched as the garbage pile split into two halves, revealing a clean, high-tech passage in the middle.
By using Hops to travel through time, they can reach the Flora and Fauna Laboratory at the Imperial Interstellar Academy in less than thirty minutes.
This is the first time that Chen Su and Shen An have seen the transition point in its complete form, the moon star technology in 3935 has not yet developed to this extent, and the transition point a thousand years ago is just a theory.
"Lu Feng originally had a shortcut you built here, but this transition cost a lot of star coins, right?"
"The purpose of building a hop is to save time on the one hand, and to hide people's eyes and ears on the other hand, and the number of star coins is secondary."
Listening to this answer, it is obvious that the construction of this hop point is very expensive, and sure enough, there are still star coins to have confidence, Chen Su thought that she would calculate the recent accounts when she went back, maybe she was also a little rich woman now.
Chen Su followed behind Lu Feng and arrived at the core of the Zoological and Zoological Research Laboratory after passing through checkpoints, and Xu Tianhe led a group of researchers who were already waiting at the door of the research room.
"Hello Chen Su, formally introduce me. I am Xu Tianhe, the section chief of the Future Animal and Plant Research Laboratory, this is Li Ming, the deputy section chief, please give me more advice in the future. ”
"Hello, don't dare to advise, discuss with each other."
"I'll take you on a tour of the lab first, and you'll see what needs to be improved."
Shen He was not interested in visiting the animal and plant research laboratory, but followed Zuo Chong, who was waiting here, to other secret bases to see the research and development team of star energy weapons and mechas.
After walking around the whole circle, Chen Su originally thought that the Hop Point was heroic enough, but he didn't expect that this animal and plant research room, which was simple and unpretentious in appearance and had high value equipment inside, was the real low-key luxury and connotation, and they really reproduced the research equipment made by his grandfather one by one.
Chen Su now completely understands what his grandfather means when he says that Lu Feng is the most reliable partner.
Traveling to the moon star a thousand years later, without a powerful and rich local aborigines as a backer, it will be difficult to keep the 199999 satellite, let alone reproduce the research equipment in a short period of time, popularize ancient cooking techniques on a large scale, and produce and sell various kitchen facilities.
Lu Feng is the best candidate both from the long-cherished wish to protect the ecology of the moon star, as well as from his power and money.
"Are these outermost batches of rice those that have tried to be cultivated in the moon star environment, but the growth is not good and they are facing wilting?"
"Yes, I'll take you to see wild rice, the difference between the two is not big in appearance, there are genetically homologous places, but there are also large variations."
Along the way, Chen Su saw all kinds of strange plants, and he really fought hard to live, with beautiful appearance, charming aroma, and beautiful colors, which are all vain for mutated plants.
For example, snow lotus, short-lived chrysanthemum, cactus, edelweiss, plum blossom, wolf poison flower, daisy and other plants that were originally adapted to grow in extremely harsh environments, in order to better adapt to the ecology of the moon star, mutated into a super chloroplast that can purify the polluted air, at the cost of a little touching taste, fragrant and smelly.
Chen Su saw the native Yuexing rice for the first time through the glass of the cultivation cabin, this is what Xu Tianhe said There is not much difference in appearance?
The stem length of this rice has to fight with the big corn, the head of a grain of rice has half a palm, a rice leaf can wrap zongzi, the color is also extraordinarily bright, green is green, yellow is yellow, according to the old saying that the more vivid the more poisonous, this rice should still be poisonous?
"That's what you say makes a big difference? This isn't poisonous, is it? ”
"I have done a toxicity test and it shows that it is non-toxic. Its bright colors are mainly used to protect against a local insect called the sand locust, and patches of bright colors can interfere with their vision. There is also their hard shell, which is also designed to resist the gnawing of sand locusts. ”
Chen Su took the rice handed over by Xu Tianhe, this shell is the same as a hard walnut, it will clatter when knocked on the table, it is particularly suitable for smashing the brain, and if you dare to eat rice later, you have to match it with auxiliary tools, first smash it, then wash it and then steam it.
"How long do they take to steam?"
"The speed of normal rice, after all, the Star Energy Pressure Cooker is not in vain."
Chen Su weighed the rice in his hand, this amount of rice really has to be counted according to the grain, steamed is a small white flour steamed bun, and then add some corn kernel juice, that is a small corn steamed bun.
She took out the sledgehammer from the storage and put the rice on the floor, not on the table, mainly for fear of losing money by smashing the table.
biu
biu
Good guy, with a hammer head, the rice bounces and launches, flying directly to the head of the land breeze.
"Be careful."
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and caught the rice that flew directly over steadily, Lu Feng handed the rice back to Chen Su and asked her, "I'm coming?" ”
"No, you don't."
Then she took the rice handed over by Lu Feng, she wrapped the rice in her palm, clenched it into a fist, and opened it again, and the rice husk in her palm had been broken into slag.
Facing the surprised eyes around him, Chen Su calmly spoke: "Oh, my brain was pumping just now, and I forgot to use my hands." ”
She felt that the hardness of the rice in her hand was no different from that of ordinary rice, there was no peculiar smell, and the color was dull white.
"Doesn't it have mutated in its chloroplasts? There is no change in taste. ”
"The chloroplasts of mutated rice are different from those of other plants, and its main focus is to get bigger."
!!!
Chen Su looked at the rice cell slice shown by Xu Tianhe, the cross-section was the size of a baby's fist, chloroplasts accounted for half of it, the other half was mitochondria, and the rest of the material was tightly attached to the cell wall, struggling to survive in the horns.
It's no wonder that the rice stalk is so thick that it can't accommodate these cell activities if it doesn't grow a little.
"Isn't it full of cells?"
"The cells in its body are also counted individually, neatly arranged in two columns."
Chen Su saw the photo of the section of the rice stalk, it was really two columns arranged like teeth, connected from end to end, left and right, and sure enough, these plants that could survive had unique abilities.
"I'm curious now, how did they survive undiscovered, waiting for you to find out?"
"It's a natural satellite in a no-signal zone, and the whole satellite is covered with sand, locusts, ravines, and deep valleys. The treasure hunting force under the Shadow Department stayed there for two whole months, and it was difficult to walk through a quarter of the satellite guards to find these rice plants. ”
"Off the beaten track, struggling to survive, resilient. I'm looking forward to the taste now, and whether it's just as tough. ”
"When you cook a meal here at noon, you can just get a taste of the taste of rice."
"Don't wait for noon, do it now, I can't wait to see it."
