Chapter 111: Unscientific Racial Talents
Solar Day 79.
Early in the morning, Mark rang Rosen's doorbell, ready to invite him to witness the historic moment of his potato harvest. By the way, he also planned to treat Rosen to a potato feast to express his gratitude for Rosen's occasional invitations to dinner.
But before he stood in front of the door, he saw Rosen through the glass of the greenhouse, digging sweet potatoes with a shovel.
Mark is a botanist, and even though he had never done much farm work before, he could imagine that if Rosen dug the sweet potatoes in a wild manner, it would easily damage the potatoes and not be able to dig them cleanly.
Originally, he wanted to persuade Rosen to prove that he, a botanist, was not just a figurehead.
But when he walked into the glass greenhouse and saw the piles of sweet potatoes that had been dug out earlier, he was stunned.
Because he didn't see the situation he was worried about, that the sweet potato was broken in half by the shovel.
What's going on? How did Rosen do it? Mark was full of questions.
He stood aside and watched for a while, then saw Rosen walk to a sweet potato vine, clear the vines, and then casually stick the shovel into the soil.
The shovel immediately sank a long way into the soil, and then Rosen exerted a little force, the soil was turned over, and the sweet potatoes hidden inside emerged.
The whole process is just like playing, and the main feature is that it is relaxed and casual.
But Mark always felt something was wrong.
Why didn't Rosen hurt the sweet potatoes when he just stuck his shovel into the soil? Did he know what was going on underground?
How can this be? !
Mark was puzzled, but couldn't help wanting to try it himself, so he casually stuck a shovel into the ground like Rosen did.
With a click, the handle of the shovel did not break, but two or three pieces of sweet potatoes in the soil were eaten away by him.
"Why is that?" Mark's old face turned red, and he asked in confusion, "Why can't I do it like you?"
"Needless to say, this is Chinese land and Chinese sweet potatoes. They are shy when they see an American like you." Rosen lied.
In fact, there are many reasons why he can hit the target with every shovel.
Guigu Secret Art LV3 and Earthwork LV3 count as one, and the poisonous flower vine that has been lurking underneath of course also counts as one.
It is worth mentioning that Guiguzi’s secret technique can actually be used to observe the growth trend of sweet potatoes underground, which he just discovered.
When he was standing in the sweet potato field, he was shocked to see that the Guigu Secret Art was actually in a triggerable state.
For a moment, he even thought that under this random place he had found was a huge tomb of aliens who had come from some unknown planet to Mars and ended up here.
result……
Surprisingly, a pile of sweet potatoes were dug out.
Well, because the Guiguzi secret technique gave him a very precise point for breaking the soil, from beginning to end, the skin of a single sweet potato was not scratched, and all the sweet potatoes were dug out without any omissions.
This is good.
But Rosen was disappointed.
He really wanted to know what Guigu's ancestors were thinking at the time, to make the uses of Guigu's secret techniques so down-to-earth.
The problem is, there were no sweet potatoes at that time.
Both sweet potatoes and potatoes are alien species, and they have only been around for the past few hundred years. In Guiguzi's time, people probably had never heard of them, let alone imagined them.
No matter how much you complain, you still have to continue doing your work.
With Mark helping out, the job of digging sweet potatoes became a little easier.
"Rosen, I have a question."
"Speak." Rosen said, "I'm not blocking your mouth."
"As far as I know, although the growth cycle of sweet potatoes varies due to different planting times, they are not short. The growth cycle of spring sweet potatoes is about 160 to 200 days, while that of summer sweet potatoes is generally 110 to 120 days."
Mark said this, pointing to the sweet potatoes on the ground and said, "But why do your sweet potatoes only grow in 50 or 60 days? This is not scientific!"
Sweet potatoes grow fast, mainly because of two reasons. First, Rosen uses magic fresh water to irrigate them, which should change their growth cycle.
Secondly, there is always an Oak Sage flying around in the greenhouse, blessing the crops he grows with various states. Not only are their vitality stronger, but their growth rate is also of course faster.
"Oak Sage: LV3, HP 100, HP +40%, Cold Resistance +20%, Fire Resistance +20%, Electricity Resistance +20%, Poison Resistance +20%, Increases the growth rate of your belongings by 1, Range 30 meters, Mana consumption 15."
But he couldn't tell the truth like this. Even if he told it, Mark probably wouldn't believe it.
Of course, Rosen could make up some excuses to fool people, such as climate reasons, length of sunshine, temperature changes, soil reasons, etc.
But he felt that these were not enough to convince Mark, so he simply didn't bother to think of excuses and said, "In this kind of place where even Newton has never been, science is useless. Let me tell you, this is my racial talent, it's just so unscientific."
Mark was speechless immediately.
Soon he witnessed another unscientific fact: the corn planted by Rosen was also ripe.
The growing cycle of corn is also not short, generally 100 to 130 days. In Lawson's glass greenhouse, it can still be eaten in to days.
With the ironclad facts before him, Mark felt that it was ridiculous to talk about science anymore. At least, he felt that the ideas in his mind about the growth patterns of these two plants were not very reliable, at least on Mars.
So much so that years later, when Mark finally became a professor at the university, he would occasionally mention Rosen's miraculous racial talent.
He always had a complicated expression and said with emotion: "I have heard of many amazing racial talents, but the only one that really shocked me and almost made my jaw drop to the ground is probably my friend Rosen's farming talent. It can greatly shorten the growth cycle of plants, which is very suitable for growing crops during interstellar exploration. It's really amazing."
"By the way, what do you want to see me for?" Rosen asked casually while picking corn cobs, "You're not here to help me with the work, are you? Don't you Americans have the fine tradition of helping each other during the busy farming season?"
"I came here to ask you to witness my potato harvest." Mark remembered the business at this time. However, looking at the piles of corn and the sweet potatoes next to them, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "But seeing your yield, I suddenly feel that there is no need for you to see the potatoes I planted."
"Don't say that. After all, you are the one who gets up early and works late to plant potatoes. How can you despise me?" Rosen said with a smile, "I will help you dig potatoes after I finish my work here."
The potatoes planted by Mark do not need to be dug because the soil layer is relatively shallow and the roots are not deep, so they can be pulled out easily.
The process is simple and the rewards are pretty good.
