Chapter 301: Sprouting
"Jiayi, the elf rice has sprouted. As soon as Jia Yi entered the laboratory, he heard March say to him excitedly.
"Really. Jiayi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly came to the front of the workbench.
He came to the laboratory late today, because he was pulled by Gwen early in the morning to discuss some ideas and standards for plant classification, although Jia Yi had told Gwen about his botanical knowledge without reservation, but she was still a little uneasy, so she still brought Jia Yi to discuss together.
And after coming out of Gwen's office, before he had time to leave, he was pulled by Orlando again, and Orlando also had a preliminary idea for the modularization of the magic circle proposed by Jiayi, and wanted to discuss the plan with Jiayi.
Kaichi had to sigh that Orlando was really efficient, and it was only two days before he fully understood the key points of modular design and began to enter the preliminary design stage.
He originally thought that he had told the professor and his teacher about these things, and he would have nothing to do with himself, and he could cultivate his own elf rice with peace of mind, and touch the fish by the way, but he was indeed too busy for a while recently, so that Jia Yi couldn't believe that this was still the lazy self.
It's just that he didn't expect that after he told the two of them these thoughts, he became busier, it turned out that he was putting pressure on himself, and now his teachers are rushing him, and he is not idle.
He came to the front of the workbench, and the rice seeds in the two petri dishes had begun to germinate, the old one had a tooth of about a centimeter, and the new one was slower, but it had also begun to germinate, but it was not too long.
"Thankfully, it finally sprouted. ”
Kaichi let out a long sigh of relief, it had finally sprouted, how scared he was that the rice seeds had not germinated until they were soaked, and if so, he didn't know if he had the courage to continue.
There are too few seeds, there are not a few opportunities to make mistakes at all, and there is no chance to fail a few times.
"Didn't you think you were always sure. Li Weier teased Jia Yiyi, but there was a little gasp in her tone.
In fact, after they saw the rice seeds germinating in the morning, they were not as good as Jiayi, and Erin screamed even more, almost breaking the test tube, even now, when talking about rice seeds, her mood still fluctuates.
"No matter how perfect the theory is, before seeing the results, it is still just a prediction, and no one has ever succeeded in cultivating elven rice, how dare I say that I am sure. ”
Of course, germination now cannot be considered a success, after all, it will take a long time to grow, and it is still a matter of uncertainty whether there will be a harvest, but this is a good start.
March said, "I didn't expect Professor Gwen's Plant Vitality Potion to work so well, and after only two drops, the seeds germinated. ”
"Yes, it's just what if the potion runs out, although we don't have many seeds now, but if we really plant successfully, there will be more and more seeds. ”
Erin was a little worried, worried that without the potion, the rice seeds would not be able to germinate.
Chester scoffed at Irene's concern: "What do you do with so much, it's just sprouting now, I don't know if it can grow yet, what's the use of thinking too much." ”
Erin said that people who have no foresight must have near-term worries - although there is no such proverb in the other world, but the translation is almost the same meaning - of course, you must be prepared in advance, so as not to be at a loss when the time comes, and she despises Chester's unforesighted argument.
Li Wei'er asked, "Jiayi, does the record on the codex say what potion needs to be used, or what spell is used? ”
Jia Yi thought about it carefully for a while, and said with certainty: "No, I haven't seen it at all, at the beginning, he released a spell on the shelled elf rice, but then there was no record of this at all." At most, it is to use spells to deworm and weed the elf rice or something, and before sowing, it is not treated at all. ”
Li Weier guessed: "Then our rice seeds are not able to germinate normally because they have been stored for too long, and if they are relatively fresh, there is no such problem." Professor Gwen gave us a bottle of plant vitality potion, did he expect it a long time ago, otherwise what would such a small bottle of potion do? ”
Her guess was not true, but it was not far off.
The seeds of the elven rice are actually dormant and have passed.
Because these rice seeds have not been given the right germination conditions, so in order to ensure their vitality, the seeds are in a dormant state, but they have been dormant for a long time, and now they can't react when they are in a suitable state, and they can't germinate normally, and something needs to stimulate them to rejuvenate them.
It's like a lotus seed, because the skin is too thick, it is easy to preserve, even after thousands of years, if it is preserved completely, it can still germinate, but the seed coat must be broken.
The plant vitality elixir plays a role in stimulating the seeds and awakening their vitality, just like separating the outer skin of the lotus seeds.
Gwen had expected this for a long time, but she didn't really get started, but she couldn't be sure, so she gave Jia Yi and them a bottle of potion just in case, but I didn't expect it to be used now.
In fact, the awakening seed is not only a vitality potion, but this is indeed the most convenient, and Jiayi and they are also lucky.
Now that the seeds have germinated, Kaichi replaced the rice seeds with a petri dish, added a nutrient solution to it, and put it in a place where the sunlight could shine through the window.
Seeing that Jia Yi had finished dealing with the rice seeds, Li Wei'er suddenly remembered something and asked Jia Yi and them, "The semester is about to end, are you ready for the exam?"
"What about exams?" Chester suddenly exclaimed, for the first time he knew that there were still exams at the end of the semester, "no one told us, what to take, what if we can't pass the exam?"
Jiayi had this expectation, after all, it was a school, and exams were a very normal thing, but Chester and them, before entering the academy, followed their own teachers for magical enlightenment, but it was the first time they heard about the final exam.
Erin laughed on the side: "You don't even know about the exam, can you still pass it?" but the exam is still relatively simple, in fact, the exam is more important in the previous years, if you can't pass the exam, you can't advance to the previous age." ”
The number of years of the college is fixed, although you cannot advance to the first grade, but the total number of years will not change, which means that if you do not study well, some people may graduate in the sixth year, and some people may study in the sixth year.
"It looks like we're going to have a good revision for the rest of the month, and I don't want to be in the same class as the new students next year. ”
In fact, the final exam of the college is relatively simple, after all, there are few people who repeat the grade, especially the first-year students, because they are new students in the first year, so it is extraordinarily simple, plus the college's entrance examination screening, in the first year to repeat the grade, I am afraid there may not be one for several years.
At this time, the students in the college are starting to get busy, in addition to the reviewers, there are also teams, the semester is about to end, after the holiday, many students have plans to go out for adventures, at this time are looking for familiar and strong students to form a team, discuss where to go, plan the route of action.
At this time, the business of the various equipment stores in the academy has also begun to improve, such as some scrolls and potions, which are in short supply at this time, and the experienced seniors begin to prepare the corresponding equipment in the middle of the semester.
Coming out of the laboratory, Jia Yi and Ma Qi went back to Jia Yi's residence, they were going to go to Yangxi and ask them to see if the teachers of the college had drawn any key points, Jia Yi had more experience in exams, and the targeted preparation effect was better.
Fortunately, although Jiayi and they have been busy experimenting, most of the time they use their spare time, and they don't skip class much, and it is only recently that they have skipped class for several days because of the critical moment.
