#536 - Chapter 536: Suppress
Inside the planting center.
Yuan Mu led Qin Jin quickly towards the area where he had been working before.
After a short while, they arrived at a corner inside and saw a figure bending over.
Qin Jin glanced at the man who appeared. If he remembered correctly, his name was Wu Qinuo. Yuan Mu had even praised him in front of him before.
"President Qin, that special cassava was discovered by Qinuo in Hai Island Province! And since he came back, he has been personally responsible for splitting and cultivating it. Currently, only he and I know about this."
Hearing Yuan Mu's words, Qin Jin walked a few steps forward. The man who was originally squatting on the ground also heard the sound and turned around to find the two people behind him.
"Can you tell me about the cassava?"
Qin Jin directly asked what he wanted to know.
Wu Qinuo looked at the leader of Green Source with slight surprise, and then saw Yuan Mu winking at him from behind. Only then did he open his mouth and say:
"Yes... Yes, it's like this. After I brought this cassava back from the acidic soil in Hai Island Province, I found it a bit strange, so I used the characteristics of cassava to divide and cultivate it. I didn't expect all the separated stems to survive!"
At first, Wu Qinuo was a little nervous, but after speaking for a while, he became more and more fluent. Later, he was able to stand in front of the leader and continue fluently.
"I found that this cassava is very adaptable to the outside soil environment! I used many methods to test it and couldn't kill it. Moreover, it also has excellent characteristics of being resistant to high and low temperatures and drought!"
Not only can it grow in the soil outside, but it also has the characteristics of being resistant to high temperature, low temperature, and drought!?
Isn't that a plant chosen by heaven?
"Is there a way to expand the quantity of this cassava and plant it on a large scale?!"
Qin Jin immediately grasped the core.
After saying so much, what he was most concerned about was that this cassava could adapt to the external environment and could be planted and eaten on a large scale outside!
If it really succeeds, that would be even more shocking news than finding super rice!
If this cassava can be promoted on a large scale, then human hunger may be eliminated!
At the very least, not so many people will starve to death!
Of course, there are still many things to be dealt with in advance, and we must not fatten the enemy and harm our own interests.
He will not release this crop for others to obtain and plant on their own!
"Uh..."
"President Qin, this may not be possible for the time being..."
"I have done a lot of tests. Although this cassava can grow in the soil outside, its own result-to-powder rate is relatively low. It is basically composed of inedible fiber. A very large quantity is needed to centrally obtain enough starch to eat."
"Teacher Yuan and I are currently discussing how to make it produce more starch, that is, to strengthen the rhizomes, otherwise the grown parts will be a bit of a waste even if they can be used as food."
"Moreover, the normal growth cycle of cassava is 8-12 months, which is basically one harvest a year, so it is not easy to get a big harvest..."
Hearing this, Qin Jin's originally excited mood was calmed down by more than half, like being rained on.
Sure enough.
Every time I think I can get there in one step, there is always a kind of premonition that it won't be so smooth.
But he was not completely discouraged.
He reached out and patted Wu Qinuo on the shoulder, and said to him solemnly:
"I will promote this matter to the highest level of the planting department! Yuan Mu will cooperate with you in the future. You can bring up any materials or manpower you need! I want you to meet these requirements for this cassava."
"Cultivate this cassava to the point where it can be used as food!"
"That is, make it edible for humans after it grows to maturity!"
"Let it maintain its normal growth in the kind of soil outside, and at the same time, you must not discard the cold, heat, and drought resistance characteristics you mentioned before!"
"Also, shorten its maturation cycle as much as possible! It is best to achieve two or even three harvests a year!"
"And the most important thing is to find a way to make it so that only we can plant it, and it will be useless even if others get it!"
Hearing President Qin's request, Wu Qinuo secretly swallowed.
Leader Qin... his aura is so terrifying...
"Also, Captain Yuan! You also need to pay more attention to this matter. You will also participate in the cultivation of this cassava in the future, and you must report any new progress to me!"
Yuan Mu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, indicating that he understood.
Of course, he knew the importance of this crop. If it could really be cultivated to be edible and adapt to the harsh environment outside, it would be a super treasure that would change the entire world!
"The security level of the planting department has been raised to the highest level since the super rice came out, but this cassava must be placed above the super rice!"
"Later, I will arrange to rebuild this place again to isolate it. In the future, if it is not necessary, try not to let a fourth person know about this matter before the results come out! Understand?!"
Standing in front of Yuan Mu and Wu Qinuo, Qin Jin awakened them in a very rare and serious tone.
This thing is more critical than super rice, and it is almost as important as Miss Lin, who he is holding in the base!
At this moment, Qin Jin felt a sense of insecurity coming over his originally settled heart again!
The mentality of enjoying life at home just now disappeared.
The Green Source Base is not strong enough!
There are too many good things hidden here!
There is the mysterious D protein in Miss Lin's body that can promote human evolution.
A large amount of grain is stored in the base's constant temperature and humidity warehouse.
It has various production lines and huge amounts of weapons, ammunition, and various equipment for building its own weapons.
And recently, super rice, which was recently found and is being prepared for planting, can alleviate the food problem for a long time.
Now there is another magical cassava that may affect the entire world pattern!
Damn!
The Green Source Base is almost becoming One Piece!
If a mountain bandit king appears, he should be the final Boss waiting in the final level, right?
After defeating him, you can explode a treasure chest of shocking value.
Hiss——
Qin Jin's heart, which had just felt stable, was once again enveloped by a new sense of unease!
Could it be that a hero will appear somewhere in the world in the future, and then grow up with dog shit luck and kill him to seize the results he has worked so hard to obtain!?
Bah!
I've been watching too much TV these past two days.
Qin Jin shook his head to get rid of his wild thoughts.
He re-discussed some key points related to this cassava with the two planting department personnel, and only left after half an hour to make arrangements.
There is no need to rush for the time being. Yuan Mu and Wu Qinuo need to continue to work hard.
When he finally left, he wondered if he should raise Wu Qinuo's personnel level?
He is currently a level 3 personnel.
He gained a lot of points from his last mission to Hai Island Province, but he has not yet reached the boundary for upgrading to level 4. Now that he has discovered this super cassava, he should be given a huge points reward.
"Not yet! If he is suddenly upgraded, it will definitely attract the scrutiny of many people! Others will ask him why he got promoted!"
"It seems that before the cassava can be released, it must be kept secret for the time being, and his level cannot be changed."
"Well, let's suppress him for now."
