Chapter 189 Inspection
The verification of the seed sterilization experiment of the Elf Rice was not easy. It took nearly a month to finally make the Elf Rice grow to the time it takes to bear ears.
During this period, Jiayi and the others were not idle, and continued to find a more effective and safe way to remove bacteria.
Previous sterilization methods can only be used externally, and are harmful to animals, especially to humans. Both Kaichi and Weile Onder hope to find a safe and effective method that can be sterilized.
Ole came in from outside the door and frowned as soon as he entered the door. He looked at the pile of fruits and fruits piled up in the corner of the wall and frowned and said, "Jiayi, all your fruits are broken. Why are you cut them open and put them here? You can't waste them at will just because you are on the Elf Island."
Jiayi stopped and walked over from the test bench: "Don't touch these fruits and vegetables, this is the experiment I'm doing."
As he said that, he drove Outlet away from the pile of fruits and fruits.
There is a shelf in the corner of the laboratory, with many fruits and fruits on it. Some of these fruits and fruits are intact, some have been cut and placed on the shelf. They have fermented out the smell of wine, and rotten drippings. The taste is mixed together and cannot be described.
The most conspicuous of these fruits and melons are several, which gather together and occupy a large area.
"You are wasting fruits." Ole shook his head, "You guys clean up and go with me. Today is the time to verify the effect of the seeds you have processed. It seems that Louis Pasteur and others will come together, so we should pay attention."
"Ha, I'm willing to let us meet. Are you afraid that we will fight?"
Maybe the elves think they can control the situation.
Jiayi cleaned up and went to the experimental field outside the closed area with Weiler Onder and Outer, where he planted seeds that had been processed through various methods, not only elves rice, but also seeds of wheat and other plants that were also infected.
After arriving at the experimental field, Kaichi finally understood why the elves dared to let them meet with the people from the Holy See. Standing in the middle was the Great Druid Snaby, a legendary spellcaster.
"Your Excellency." x3
Jiayi and the others quickly said hello to Snaypy.
When opening the experimental field, Snaby came over to help build the four-season magic circle to change the climate in the experimental field and accelerate the growth of plants. However, after the construction of the four-season magic circle was completed, Snaby left, but he didn't expect to come back now.
Snaypy is not an elf, but a human. He only admires the druid and eventually becomes a druid, and step by step, becoming one of the only two great druids.
On the other side of Snaypy, a group of priests in black sacrificial robes stood beside them, and the priest robe in the middle was Louis Pasteur.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's start harvesting the rice in the experimental field." Snabbie waved his hand and said.
Kaichi's eyes gently glanced over Louis Pasteur, and the other party also looked over. The two of them dissipated without saying anything, and silently followed Snaypy.
Both sides are the first time seeing each other. Louis Pasteur looks young, has clear eyes, and looks gentle. There are many people coming to the Holy See, 7 or 8. In comparison, Jiayi and the others look much thinner.
Like Jiayi, Louis Pasteur was also very curious about them. The number of mages in East China is extremely rare, and all of them are part-time priests. Wild mages are simply rare. Louis Pasteur has been devoted to his practice. This is his first time to leave East China. Jiayi and the others are also the first mage who can get in such close contact with each other.
The rice was harvested by the elves and placed in different categories. There was also a portion of unthreshed rice in front of each rice.
Snabbie looked at the rice in front of her and carefully glanced over, saying: "At present, outside the closed area, all infected seeds grow well after treatment, and the bactericidal effect is very obvious. However, in the infected area, these treated rice have been reinfected to varying degrees. The probability of infection is lower than that of ordinary seeds, but it looks similar to the ordinary seeds after treatment. The effect is not as good as imagined."
Among these treatment methods, the ultraviolet treatment effect of seeds outside the infected area is better. The ultraviolet treatment seeds not only do not occur, but also have a higher germination rate; however, in the infected area, the ultraviolet treatment seeds are more likely to recur and become sick, and their resistance to the disease is not greatly enhanced.
At this time, the agent prepared by copper sulfate and cannibal flower saliva is the best, but neither solution can soak the seeds for a long time, otherwise the seeds will be necrotic and the germination rate will be lower.
The holy light effect on the Holy See is similar to that of UV rays, but it does not stimulate the seeds to increase the germination rate.
But most importantly, these methods can make the seeds sterile, but cannot guarantee that they will not be infected in the future. All seeds planted in the infected area, no matter which sterilization method is used, will be more or less reinfected. The best prevention and treatment effect is the agents equipped with the saliva of the man-eating flower, which still cannot prevent the elves from being infected, and the yield drops by more than half.
After the Elf Rice gets sick again, these methods now have limited effect on killing bacteria. The sterilization of these methods can only be on the surface, and they are still powerless to do anything about bacteria that have been infected inside.
"Now, do you have any ideas to increase the ability of the Elf Rice to resist white leaf blight? The current sterilization effect is very good, but it cannot avoid reinfection." Snaby asked the people on both sides.
Louis Pasteur shook his head and said helplessly: "It would be great if these rice could have the same resistance as wheat."
This experiment also conducted some wheat planting experiments, and wheat would also be infected. However, after the wheat seeds were treated, the probability of re-infection was greatly reduced. Although there were occasional occurrences, the probability was greatly reduced and the infectivity was greatly reduced.
Jiayi suggested to Snayby: "I think we should also select and breed rice seeds with strong pest resistance, and then cooperate with these treatment methods. The land planted also needs to be thoroughly disinfected and sterilized, so as to ensure that the white leaf blight will not spread. A single method is not safe enough."
He finally looked at Keller and added: "The most important thing is to consider safety issues in any experiment in the future. If the isolation is done well, the bacterial infection will not have a chance to spread outside. Even if a simple plant is not restricted by natural enemies, the spread of the ecology will be very serious. Your Excellency the Great Druid must have a good understanding of this."
Snaby nodded silently. Although there were not many biological invasions, he had encountered them several times, understanding the dangers of biological invasions.
Keller was embarrassed to be said: "I did something wrong this time, I was too careless."
As he said that, he saluted Kaichi and Louis Pasteur and others: "I would like to thank you for your assistance this time."
His solemnity made Jiayi feel a little embarrassed, and he quickly turned his back and gave in half a step: "I think you can try hybridization. Different varieties of hybridization can easily gain the advantages of their own parents, making the next generation more competitive. Through hybridization, we can obtain a more pest-resistant elf rice, and can also increase the yield."
"Hybrid, is hybrid advantage? This is indeed a good idea." Snaypy has observed this phenomenon, but he has never thought about applying this to rice.
Hybrid rice generally tastes not very good. Before Jiayi crosses, the planting area was almost half, but few people eat hybrid rice, and most of them are used for deep processing or feed production.
But for Elf Rice, what is important is the effect, the taste is only secondary, and the taste problem does not have a particularly big impact.
