Guo Chunli held the report in her hand. Ever since the report and the instrument results came out that morning, she had been guarding the spiritual plant.
The spiritual plants in the second and third foam boxes were probably obtained through hybridization of the original species, and were genetically homologous with the original species. That's why they didn't react during the first instrument test, because they were not the original species at all, but rather hybrid products of the original species. Guo Chunli was far more shocked to come to this conclusion than to guess that the spiritual plants were improved varieties purchased from the market.
The other agricultural repairmen were in the same boat. They stared at the report for a long time, unable to recover. It was Guo Chunli and Tao Ruzhi who finally realized that the report was true. Although the spiritual plants in the box were not the original species, they were even better than the original species.
Most importantly, not only did they hybridize the first generation, but they also hybridized the second generation.
"The report is true; now we'll see the video of the cultivation process."
Guo Chunli said that she was more rational, while most of the other cultivators on the field looked like their Dao hearts were broken.
"The hybrid millet, or rather, two generations, is equivalent to three cultivation cycles. Millet itself takes at least four months to mature, and about six months have passed since the millet seeds were distributed. In those six months, how could redwood possibly hybridize two generations of spiritual plants? At the very least, it would take 12 months."
The question raised by this farmer was also the question raised by all the farmers present.
"This is also what I suspect. Even if there are heavenly treasures that can accelerate the growth of spiritual plants, it is impossible for them to grow so quickly. Forcing the growth of spiritual plants is never a good idea."
"If the results are true, I have nothing to say. The top spot on the agricultural repair list can only belong to Redwood."
"I never imagined that the seemingly impossible outcome would actually be possible."
The report proved that the millet was hybridized from the original variety, meaning that the improved variety they saw was not purchased from the market, and the spiritual plant was in Jiang He's hands, with the cultivation time shortened by several months. This was the most shocking point of doubt for the farmers on the field.
Before watching the cultivation video, the judges at the farm still did not give scores.
As for the other agricultural repair shops outside the site that saw the test report, most of them couldn't sit still, clearly they had also thought of this aspect.
On the StarNet, everyone who was involved in agricultural repair crowded into the official account or live stream, staring blankly at the data.
The online discussion continued in waves, with not only agricultural cultivators but also cultivators in related fields, though few understood the meaning behind the report.
[This text is so obscure and difficult to understand. I recognize a little bit of each word, but putting them together makes it seem like reading academic literature. Can someone please explain it to me?]
The report analyzes that the plants in these three boxes are homologous. This can be calculated by comparing the similarity of base pairs in the two gene sequences. One box contains the original species, and the other two boxes contain improved species. The improved species are hybrids of the original species, but it is highly likely that they are hybrids of the same batch of original species as the plants in the first box.
I still don't quite understand. Could you explain again how hybridization occurs?
Conan: Hybrid spiritual plants refer to the selection of two spiritual plant varieties that have certain genetic differences, while their superior traits complement each other, and crossbreeding them to produce first-generation hybrids with heterosis for production. This is what hybrid spiritual plants are. One aspect involved here is heterosis, which is a common phenomenon in the biological world. Utilizing heterosis can improve the yield and quality of spiritual plants.
Xiaotian, who loves farming: Lingzhi breeding often uses conventional millet varieties with superior traits as parents and cultivates them through hybrid vigor. Its advantages include high yield and great potential for increased production; good tillering ability, requiring less seed; large ears with many grains; and strong resistance to adverse conditions.
Conan, you even know this?
I think I've seen the username "Conan" in the list of cultivators participating in the Agricultural Cultivation Ranking.
So the improved variety is a hybrid of rosewood itself? But how could it be that it hybridizes one generation and then hybridizes another generation in such a short period of time?
"It wasn't bought. Didn't the second round of instrument testing say it was the original species? How did it become an improved species? This explanation is so far-fetched. You're using a bunch of technical jargon, and it all seems contradictory to me."
The principle behind the detector is complex. When two common varieties have the same parental combination, their offspring may exhibit high similarity in traits. It's not the original species, but because of genetic similarity, the indicator light will illuminate. The issue of whether it's the original species is completely irrelevant now; that's not important at all.
Besides, it's the improved species that's truly terrifying.
Why do I say that? If it's an improved variety, then it's certain that these millet plants are hybrids of redwood. The hybridization period, which would normally be more than 12 months, has been compressed into just 4 months, and the resulting spiritual plants have excellent shapes. What's the difference between this and a perfect score on an exam? Just looking at this cycle alone, I dare say no agricultural cultivator could achieve that.
I feel that even a perfect score is an understatement. Hybridized spiritual plants and normal spiritual plant cultivation appearing in the same competition are not even on the same level. It can only be said that Redwood's talent is unmatched by any of the agricultural cultivators present, and even within the empire.
This completely shattered my understanding. What exactly is the level of redwood cultivation in agricultural cultivation? Can someone explain this to me from the perspective of a sword cultivator?
It's roughly about how you, the top sword cultivator in the cultivation world, and Heng, along with their group, participated in the same competition.
From a cultivation perspective, this can also be explained: the opponent you're facing is a mutated, top-grade single-spiritual-root cultivator. It's like you painstakingly cultivated to the Golden Core stage, only to find that in the same amount of time, your opponent has already reached the Integration stage, and can instantly cast spells, crushing you to death with a single finger.
That's a very vivid explanation. Does that mean Redwood is guaranteed to be number one in this round?
If she doesn't take first place, who will dare to?
Stop talking. We're both cultivators from the same farming background, and I'm a little heartbroken. I finally understand how ordinary disciples feel when they look down on the geniuses of the Sword Sect. I'm just so jealous.
Hahahaha, I'm one of the participants too. After seeing the report, my heart was shattered. It felt like a beggar who had painstakingly begged for food for three days, finally managing to get a bottle of nutrient solution, then tripped and fell, losing a tooth and rolling the bread into a stinking ditch. I was too exhausted to continue begging. It felt like a mother of three, after putting her children to sleep, being beaten by her husband, and then having to sit on a small stool washing clothes in cold water while pregnant with her mother-in-law who was hurling insults at her. Afterwards, she went to buy groceries, only to have her mistress show up and humiliate her. The feeling of helplessness...
This copywriting is pretty good, I'll steal it.
I haven't even watched the training video yet. Before the leaderboard is released, who the dark horse is is another matter, but your verbal expression is way too exaggerated!
It's no exaggeration. Just watch, no one can compare to the spiritual plants of Redwood. This improved variety has more advantages than any other on the market. After the sect competition, Redwood will definitely be regarded as an honored guest by all the major sects.
[I really have to pack up and go home this time. There's no way I can compete. I'll skip this year's sect competition and come back in ten years.]
