Chapter 85: A Not-So-Successful Farming Plan
Life in the small dimensional world is stable, but it seems very boring. Fortunately, the computers brought back this time contain a large amount of information. When you are free, you can pass the time by studying.
Several large hard drives store up to 35TB of various graphics, texts and even video materials. No matter how strong your learning ability is, you can't even hope to learn all the information in just a few decades.
I did intensive exercise in the morning, learned various basic knowledge in the morning, and continued to improve my living conditions in the afternoon. I even brought a flush toilet with me when I came back this time, and it also came with a smart toilet seat.
The main reason is that every time I solved the three urgent problems in the past, I always had to go to the woods to add fertilizer to the flowers, plants and trees, which was really uncomfortable.
Of course, due to limited storage space, I definitely can’t bring back a lot of underground drainage pipes, so I can only try to use clay to burn some ceramic pipes to create an underground drainage system. Of course, I have to dig a big pit to treat the sewage...
What I brought back was only a bundle of aluminum-plastic pipes and a few joints. Most of the other things had to be made by myself. This was indeed a huge project. But the most important thing now is time, so take your time.
But there's no need to rush.
As for evening, of course, I will continue to do some scientific experiments. For example, a few days ago, I was trying to synthesize an improved and perfect regenerative serum.
This matter is progressing quite smoothly. However, after synthesizing more than twenty regenerative serums, there are currently no animals to test on. Of course, it is possible to test on one's own body, so the synthesis is temporarily stopped to avoid wasting raw materials.
In recent days, we have begun to experiment with the possibility of using blood orchid extracts to directly synthesize regenerative serum. This is because blood orchid cultivation is very smooth, and there are complete blood orchid cultivation techniques in the database. As long as you work hard,
There is no shortage of this raw material at all.
In essence, regenerative serum is actually derived from blood orchid extract. However, pure blood orchid extract is too toxic. If used directly on the human body, the human body cannot bear the toxicity and will undoubtedly die.
After the blood orchid extract is swallowed, absorbed and transformed by pythons, the toxicity of the blood orchid extract can be greatly reduced. Then, substances that appear in the form of regenerative enzymes are extracted from the python blood, and some other chemical ingredients are added.
The regenerative serum can then be synthesized.
Although there is currently technology to extract regenerative enzymes from the blood of pythons, it should be possible to feed the pythons and then extract them from the pythons, but there are currently no pythons available for testing.
In fact, even if there are giant pythons, they are not willing to do this, because if they are accidentally fed to the giant pythons, uncontrollable mutated monsters will be produced, so now they simply try to use microorganisms to remove the toxicity and then directly synthesize the possibility of regenerating serum.
It's just that the specific operation is really troublesome, but again, I have a lot of time now, so I can try various things slowly without being too anxious.
Late at night before going to bed, I never stopped practicing the breathing guidance technique. Although no other effects were visible, my ability to perceive my consciousness was increasing little by little.
…
Time is always fully arranged, and as day after day passes in the busyness, more than half a month has passed since I returned to the small world unknowingly, and the rather large bathroom project has finally been completed.
Even the floor of the bathroom was successfully covered with thick hand-fired clay tiles. Although it looked a bit crude, it did not affect its use.
The plan to artificially remove the toxicity of blood orchid extract was not very smooth, and in fact the field plan was not very smooth either.
I don’t know why, but the germination rate of the seeds I brought back was a bit scary.
Seven kilograms of potatoes were cut into more than 700 pieces of sprouted seeds, but only 120 of them successfully sprouted. Two kilograms of corn seeds, only 175 of them successfully germinated, and two kilograms of wheat, only 300 of them sprouted.
Many wheat seedlings.
There were also two kilograms of soybean seeds, but only 155 of them successfully germinated. The most outrageous thing was the two kilograms of rice seeds, all of which were wiped out.
It stands to reason that the temperature conditions, water and soil, etc. in this small world of this dimension are very good. Why the seed germination rate is so low is really mysterious.
The survival rate of the fruit seedlings brought back was quite good. All 30 giant peach seedlings were alive. There were also 30 breadfruit seedlings that could be used as food, but only two of them died.
However, the germination rate of seeds brought back in the form of seeds, fruits, vegetables, precious medicinal materials, etc. is still very low. Maybe if you want to bring back new varieties in the future, it is better to bring seedlings directly.
In addition, some of the fish eggs that were thrown into a distant pond successfully hatched into small fry, and several lotus seeds also successfully sprouted.
Because the blood orchid was brought back with its soil roots, I tried to plant some of them, but the survival rate was still very good. 97 of the 100 plants planted survived.
The dozen or so wild American ginseng plants that were about two to three hundred years old also successfully survived.
What surprised Li Xiao the most was that from a batch of half-hatched eggs, 9 chicks hatched successfully. It was a pity that some other eggs failed to hatch.
However, with the presence of 9 noisy chickens, this terrifyingly quiet little world has become a lot more lively, especially when these chickens will actively surround themselves every time they eat, chirping and begging for food.
, that feeling is still very good.
——
Another early morning, after an hour-long intensive exercise, I went to wander around the countryside as a habit. The seedlings that had sprouted and survived grew quite fast, even much faster than in the normal world.
For example, the 28 breadfruit trees have grown to be as tall as a person in just over half a month, and the 30 flat peach trees have also grown to over 1.5 meters. The same is true for grain and vegetable seeds. As long as they germinate successfully,
They all grow up very quickly.
Of course, Li Xiao is not very concerned about these things. What worries Li Xiao most is that the growth of the living fruit tree is not as fast as other fruit trees. It is still only one meter high. It may take a long time to bloom and bear fruit.
It will take many years.
After visiting the farmland, I returned to the cabin, took out a piece of food, and ate weeds, wildflowers, and chickens on the grass outside. When I found Li Xiao eating, I immediately surrounded him and started chirping non-stop.
Li Xiao also gave out a small half of the rice for these noisy little guys to enjoy. Watching the chickens competing for food, his slightly dull mood seemed much more relaxed.
After breakfast, I immediately took out my laptop and continued the efficient learning mode. What I am currently learning is some knowledge related to agriculture.
