#993 - Fanzhen Lingxian, the potential of hybrid breeding technology

After the barrier expanded, the already busy residents had even more burdens piled upon their shoulders.

To cope with the ever-changing ecological environment, people had to stand at the forefront of change and actively adapt to it.

Especially the Central Plains, which concerned food production, was the top priority for the entire island.

To ensure a safe harvest this time, the island even invested the military force that was still in training.

Well-trained soldiers, transported by train, gathered in the Central Plains within a day.

Their timely addition immediately became a very important source of manpower.

With close cooperation between the military and farmers, the vast fields were effectively monitored and controlled.

For the one and a half months before the rice matured, everyone was divided into three groups, working in eight-hour shifts, patrolling day and night.

Finally, with the united efforts of everyone, they successfully passed the mutation period and smoothly entered the overall stable period.

And when all the changing areas stabilized, the rice's maturity period arrived as scheduled.

On that day, the thousands of contributors who had shed countless sweat on this land witnessed the beautiful scene of fragrant rice and golden waves.

The successfully evolved rice, every grain was so full.

The crystal-clear grains of rice, even chewing them raw could make one's mouth water and increase strength.

For Soul Masters, it could even have the powerful effect of slightly increasing the speed of Soul Power recovery.

This kind of spiritual rice, which surpassed satisfying hunger and even had some tonic or medicinal effects, was a high-quality rice that everyone had never seen before.

And what was even more amazing was that such rice was not an isolated case, but all the rice fields on the entire farmland had cultivated rice of such quality.

When the machinery entered the farmland, harvesting the rice in large quantities, the rice yield, which was richer in energy and more filling, actually exceeded the historical record by a full倍.

When the statistical data came out that day, the newspaper extensively reported on the harvest of this quarter.

The entire island, upon hearing this news, was immersed in a festive atmosphere.

The high-level personnel, led by Quan Yue, immediately launched a harvest celebration, allowing all residents to jointly enjoy how much the food cultivated after the island's evolution had changed.

The freshly harvested ingredients were directly cooked into exquisite delicacies.

Color, aroma, and taste, on top of this foundation, also added the effect of nourishment.

The evolution of the environment alone was not enough; people still had to ingest the food cultivated by the environment to truly accompany the environment and complete the evolution.

In this one and a half months, the popularization of Xuan Tian Gong's internal force cultivation was also carried out in an orderly manner.

From childhood to old age, the education system responsible for each age group was operating at overload.

It was because the island had built an education system covering all residents in advance that the popularization of Xuan Tian Gong was faster than expected.

And this just maximized the benefits brought by the expansion of the barrier and the evolution of the island.

In this one and a half months, the number of people who successfully condensed internal force among the non-Soul Master population of the right age exceeded ten thousand.

While the island residents were celebrating the harvest festival, on the sparsely populated western plateau, Quan Yi was leading a group of pioneer researchers to cultivate and select more excellent hybrid rice.

More than forty days of research on Jinshu are equivalent to more than ten years outside.

During this time, Quan Yi led the team to successfully select the three special types of rice: sterile line, maintainer line, and restorer line, and improved the three-line hybrid rice.

On this basis, they successfully cultivated super spiritual rice that could perfectly adapt to the current island environment, and whose yield and nutritional content were higher than the rice harvested this year.

This kind of spiritual rice is already close to the critical point of transforming into a plant-type Soul Beast.

The rice it cultivates contains trace amounts of heaven and earth energy that can be directly absorbed by the human body.

This heaven and earth energy has been digested and transformed by the spiritual rice itself, completely eliminating the harmfulness to the human body.

Long-term intake of such spiritual rice can enable ordinary people to prolong their lives.

Soul Masters can even slowly improve their own qualifications and improve their talent and cultivation.

This kind of spiritual rice is completely a staple food exclusive to Soul Masters.

At the same time, considering that the island is still growing all kinds of crops, while taking spiritual rice as the core research topic, Quan Yi divided a small area of land and assigned research on the hybridization of other crops to the researchers.

After all, people cannot only eat rice; ingesting different foods can make nutrition more balanced and people healthier.

Therefore, in this one and a half months, with the assistance of researchers, other crops also obtained high-quality hybrid varieties.

Even if they do not reach the level of super spiritual rice, they have surpassed the realm of ordinary products and entered the realm of spiritual products.

Ordinary, Precious, Spiritual.

These are the three levels that Quan Yi has divided for crops.

Ordinary products are crops that can provide satiety and maintain the normal life needs of the human body.

Precious products are, on the basis of ordinary products, to provide auxiliary effects on the cultivation of internal force and Soul Power for mortals and low-level Soul Masters.

The crops harvested this time are at this level.

Spiritual products are, on this basis, to select the excellent characteristics of crops, and integrate the advantages through hybridization technology to form higher-quality crops.

Such crops, on the basis of greatly enhancing all the advantages of precious-grade crops, will also awaken unique characteristics, or the talent of the race.

Taking super spiritual rice as an example, its talent is to convert the energy of heaven and earth into spiritual power that can be absorbed by the human body and stored in the spiritual rice.

Taking cotton as another example, Quan Yi and their research team discovered, during the hybridization process, a spiritual cotton that can absorb the surrounding fire element energy during the combustion process to increase the power and speed of the flame.

This quality of cotton can be directly used as guncotton for bullets.

More importantly, this guncotton, when infused with fire-attribute Soul Power before being ignited, can increase the highest temperature and speed of combustion to a higher level.

And this, in another sense, represents a higher initial bullet velocity, effective flight distance, and lethality.

If, on this basis, the cotton is further processed at the physical and chemical level, this is no longer a crop within Quan Yi's common sense range.

In this world, hybridization technology is no longer just a concept of increasing yield; the upper limit and potential of this technology are immeasurable.

In addition to these three grades, above the spiritual grade is the immortal grade.

The so-called immortal products, the herbs planted in the western wet soil are all immortal products, and the effects of these immortal products do not need to be elaborated.
