Zhao Hai looked at the seed in the farmer's hand, it was a seed called Sweet Rice. This kind of Sweet Rice was planted in the Wenji Continent. This was because the plants in the Wenji Continent were rarely improved. Because of the high yield of Sweet Rice, most of the farmers here planted Sweet Rice seeds.
Zhao Hai looked at the rice seed and discovered the problem. In the end, he stimulated the seed with his natural energy. Sure enough, it didn't have any effect, the seed didn't germinate. One must know that Zhao Hai stimulated it with his natural energy. If it didn't germinate, then it could be said that the seed was wasted.
Zhao Hai put down the Sweet Rice seed, then he turned to the old farmer and said, "Are these seeds your own? How many years have you been using these seeds? Have you always been keeping your own seed? "
The old farmer immediately replied, "Yes, Sir. Everything that we plant here are our own seeds. I don't know how many years I've been planting them. In any case, I've been doing this ever since I started farming."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Then has the production of Sweet Rice been decreasing in the past two years?"
When the old farmer heard Zhao Hai, he quickly replied, "Replying to Sir, yes, the production of Sweet Rice has been decreasing in the past two years. This situation started ten years ago, but at that time, the decrease wasn't a lot. We thought that it was because we didn't have enough fertilizer. But later on, it decreased more and more. We also reported this matter to the Academy. However, the Academy said that it was because we didn't have enough fertilizer."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned to Long Yunfei and said, "The problem has been found. The problem should be with the seeds. These seeds have degenerated and can no longer survive."
Long Yunfei looked at Zhao Hai and asked, "What does Mister mean? How can seeds degenerate? "
Zhao Hai replied, "Of course seeds will degenerate. Plants are just like animals. Mister Long should have seen wild boars and domestic pigs, right? Wild boars are very fierce. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to provoke them, and ordinary animals wouldn't dare to do the same. In the mountains, if people encounter wild boars, they would take a detour. But what about domestic pigs? Wild boars have long tusks, but domestic pigs don't. This is because the living environment of domestic pigs has changed. Wild boars need to fight with other animals, so they need to grow tusks. On the other hand, domestic pigs don't need to fight with people. Every day, there will be people feeding them. When they are full, they will sleep, and when they wake up, they will eat again. There is no danger at all, so their tusks will slowly disappear. The same goes for plants. Plants that grow in the wild are more resistant to disease than plants that grow in the wild. Most of the time, plants that grow in the wild have been tamed. Because of the changes in the environment, after a long time of taming, many aspects of those plants have been degraded. The seeds have been used for too many generations, so they have been degraded. Therefore, the yield of rice will decrease, and in the end, the rice seeds won't germinate at all. "
Long Yunfei didn't know much about plants, but he still understood what Zhao Hai meant. Long Yunfei looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, what should we do?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "What should we do?"
Zhao Hai replied, "In the Soldier Spirit Continent, Plant Masters would generally improve seeds. At the same time, there would also be fields that Plant Masters would take care of. These fields are specially set aside for seeds. After a few years of planting their own seeds, farmers would buy new seeds and then buy new ones. This cycle would keep the seeds in their best condition. But in the Wen Ji Continent, there's no such thing. Because of this, the seeds that the farmers planted wouldn't only not get better, they would also slowly degenerate. In order to change this situation, the best way is to choose new seeds and then improve them. This way, the seeds would be able to recover their vitality."
Long Yunfei nodded and said, "That's possible, but it will take time. This time, there are a lot of places near Mount Emerald Cloud that have suffered the same disaster. They need to change their seeds, but where are we going to get so many seeds in such a short time? As Mister said, we can improve them, but we don't have the time. Even if we start now, we won't have enough time. "
Zhao Hai said, "We can transfer seeds from places that didn't suffer. Let people plant them for a year. Then we can immediately organize people to improve the seeds. Not only Greencloud Mountain, but also the entire Wenji Continent. Eliminate the old seeds and let the farmers plant new seeds as soon as possible. This way, we can guarantee the grain yield."
When Long Yunfei heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but let out a long breath. He quickly nodded and said, "Alright, thank you Mister. But I would like to ask Mister to go to other places and see if there are any problems. If there are, then I would like to ask Mister to tell us so that we can solve them together."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he went to the soil. Then he took out a seed and threw it on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the seed grew into a big tree. Zhao Hai's performance surprised Long Yunfei and the others.
In the Wenji Continent, there was no such thing as a mutated seed. Plant Masters only treated plants. Their fighting methods were very simple, they used their life source weapons to fight. Naturally, Plant Masters would suffer a lot. But for many years, Plant Masters in the Wenji Continent had always been fighting like this. Something like Zhao Hai releasing a mutated seed was something that Long Yunfei and the others had never seen before.
Zhao Hai communicated with the Baobab Tree. After confirming that there were no problems in the soil, he immediately turned the Baobab Tree into a seed and stored it away.
After Zhao Hai stored the seed, he turned his head to look at Long Yunfei and the others. He discovered that Long Yunfei and the others were looking at him blankly. However, Zhao Hai didn't care as he continued to walk along the soil. From time to time, he would release the Baobab Tree to test if the soil was normal. Finally, he came to a place where plants were still growing. After testing the soil, he discovered that the soil was very good. The farmers here were very serious in taking care of the soil.
Zhao put away the baobab seeds, then he turned to Long Yunfei and said, "Mister Long, I've just checked, the soil is very normal. You don't have to worry, it seems like the problem lies in the seeds. I hope you can solve the problem as soon as possible. But I'm afraid that it's already past the time to plant the baobab seeds. You'd better find some plants with short growth cycles to plant. I'm afraid that this year's harvest won't be too big."
Long Yunfei nodded and said, "Alright, Mister can rest assured. I understand."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he walked out of the field and didn't say anything. Long Yunfei greeted the others before he and Zhao Hai sat on the carriage and headed towards Greencloud Mountain.
Sitting in the carriage, Long Yunfei looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, what kind of plant did you use before? How can it grow so big in an instant? "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's one of the most common offensive methods used by Plant Masters in the Weapon Spirit Continent. It's called a variant seed. This variant seed is made by Plant Masters using the natural energy in our bodies to slowly refine ordinary seeds. After this variant seed is released, as long as it's stimulated by our natural energy, it can grow very fast. Moreover, it can grow very big. It can even help us attack our enemies and help us in battle."
Long Yunfei said, "Mister, you're saying that this is the most common method used by Plant Masters in the Weapon Spirit Continent? How powerful is it? "
"Its power is average. This variant plant has a weakness, its movement speed is very slow. Generally, only low-level plants would use it. High-level Plant Masters wouldn't use it because its fighting strength is too weak. However, ordinary Plant Masters would still carry some variant seeds with them. This is because when Plant Masters rest in the wild, they can release these variant plants to help them stay up late." Zhao Hai didn't hide anything from Long Yunfei and told him about the variant seeds.
Long Yunfei nodded and didn't say anything. Instead, he looked outside the window and frowned. Nobody knew what he was thinking about. Zhao Hai naturally wasn't in the mood to study Long Yunfei's thoughts. He just sat in the carriage and closed his eyes. At the same time, he was also thinking about today's matter.
Before long, the carriage stopped at the square. Zhao Hai and Long Yunfei got off the carriage and returned to the academy. Zhao Hai went directly to his room to rest while Long Yunfei still had a lot of things to deal with.
In fact, today's matter had stimulated Long Yunfei. Long Yunfei was very clear about why the other professions in the Weapon Spirit Continent couldn't develop. This was the result of the suppression of the scholars. But today's matter made Long Yunfei have another idea. He didn't know if the scholars were right to suppress the other professions.
The reason why Long Yunfei had this idea was because the Plant Masters of the academy were powerless. However, Zhao Hai only took a few minutes to come to a conclusion. Obviously, this wasn't a difficult matter for Zhao Hai. But for Zhao Hai, the Plant Masters of the academy couldn't even find out. The gap between them was too big.
There was also the solution that Zhao Hai proposed. At the same time, Zhao Hai also said that in the Weapon Spirit Continent, Plant Masters were responsible for improving plants. However, in the Weapon Spirit Continent, Plant Masters were only responsible for treating plants. Long Yunfei had never heard of Plant Masters improving plants. From this point, one could see the gap between the two sides.
In the past, Long Yunfei didn't care much about Plant Masters. In his opinion, Plant Masters were only responsible for treating plants. There was nothing special about them. However, today's matter made Long Yunfei understand that Plant Masters were very important. This was because Plant Masters were directly related to the amount of food produced. And in any continent, any influence couldn't do without food.
