Chapter 997: Pea Vine
"As you can see, taking care of the pea vines here is the focus of our work."
Miss Pea walks Ronald into the garden.
When it came to the introduction of the work content, Miss Pea's attitude changed instantly and she became a very responsible cultivator.
Ronald walked through all the locations of the 22 varieties of peas, and then recounted their growth habits and the focus of the cultivators' regular watering and fertilization efforts.
Miss Pea continued with great seriousness:
"For example, if you look at this pea vine, it belongs to the long-stemmed pea, and the short-stemmed pea over there must be strictly distinguished, and their types must not be confused; There are also round grains and wrinkled grains, seed coat color, etc., and they are in the flowering stage right now, so there is no good way to confirm them. But even so, we have to make sure that we make the right distinctions, because if we get this wrong, all the work will be lost......"
Ronald follows Miss Pea as she walks through the garden.
While lamenting the rigor and complexity of this work, he couldn't help but be reminded of the memories of Miss Pea in his heart.
Just like what Ronald saw from a textbook as a child.
Peas are indeed a good experimental target for genetic validation, and the expression of various traits is very easy to identify and almost error-proof.
Instead, it is necessary to select such good varieties from a myriad of plants.
Even if you only talk about the effort in the selection process, I am afraid that it will take far more energy than ordinary people can imagine.
These scientists who have left their names in the history of mankind.
It's admirable.
……
Just follow Miss Pea all the way.
Due to the huge difference between the proportions of the body and the pea vines, when Miss Pea finished the introduction of these tasks, almost three hours passed.
And after completing the task of introducing Ronald to work, Miss Pea immediately detached herself from her previous serious state.
"Huh?!"
In the next second, Miss Pea's face turned red suddenly, and she lowered her head and ran towards the cultivator's living quarters. And when she walked a few meters away like this, she stopped quite shyly, and then turned back to greet Ronald:
"Alright, this is the end of the introduction."
"Now let's go back, and I'll tell you about the lodging of the cultivators, as well as some small details that need to be paid attention to in daily work."
Ronald smiled and nodded, and immediately chased after him.
"Wait a minute, I'll come here."
“……”
Half an hour later, the two arrived at their destination.
The cultivators of different plants in the garden live in different areas, but they are basically divided into the scope of plant cultivation under their own responsibility. Miss Pea's place was a huge frame next to the pea stand and woven from long wooden rattans.
Although the actual size of this rattan frame is only the volume of a handmade object.
But for them who are as shrunken as ants, this is definitely a palace-sized super luxurious residence!
Then Miss Pea led Ronald all the way into it.
After passing through a homely door, the first thing that catches your eye is a few backpacks hanging on the porch behind the entrance of the room.
Miss Pea's explanation followed suit:
"These backpacks are quite important tools in our work. Because pollinating insects can get the wrong species, we have to take care of the pollination of the plants – and I've been busy with this work lately! ”
Ronald curiously confirmed:
"Are these backpacks for pollen?"
"That's right!" Miss Pea nodded with a serious expression, "And you must remember that there is a small pool of water in the east direction, and every time we carry pollen on our backs to complete a pollination, we must go there first to clean our backpacks and completely remove any remaining ......."
Jingle Bell !!
Suddenly, a crisp bell sounded from the monastery ahead.
Miss Pea's expression changed instantly when she heard this.
Then, she didn't care about the importance of continuing to explain the details of the work to Ronald, but turned around and rushed into the room, took out a small satchel of her own, and then ran in a hurry in the direction of the garden.
Just before leaving, Miss Pea stopped in time and did not forget to give Ronald one last command:
"This bell is an adult calling us who are in charge of cultivating plants!"
"Ronald, I'll leave the pollination of peas to you this afternoon, remember that you can't make a mistake!"
The words landed, and Miss Pea's figure disappeared at the door of the garden mansion in an instant.
Ronald stood in place and was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.
It wasn't until a few more seconds had passed, and he carefully scanned his surroundings, that he was sure that Miss Pea had suddenly disappeared into the world.
And look into the area of several other plant species in the distance.
The cultivators who could vaguely see some traces also disappeared at this moment.
In other words-
At this moment, Ronald is the only one left in the garden of this monastery!
“……”
Faced with such a scene, Ronald stood in place and shook his head with a wry smile, and then it suddenly dawned on him:
"Original...... That's the second part of the trial......"
The situation was confirmed, and Ronald did not hesitate.
He turned around to remove a backpack from the hallway, turned around and walked towards the pea-growing area.
After all, Miss Pea had made it clear before she left.
Isn't his job here today to pollinate these pea vines?
And in all fairness, compared to the implicit choice test just now, Miss Pea left a job for herself this time is quite serious, and the difficulty is obvious.
As long as you listen carefully to every sentence in the explanation just now, and note down the distinction and precautions of different pea types, then the next work is just to repeat the work step by step and keep careful.
But if you don't listen carefully to the information given by Miss Pea.
Then the work is doomed to failure, and there is almost no possibility of completion.
After all, these 22 varieties of peas are not just 22 plants.
In each of these plants, there are actually several pea vines that require people to concentrate on pollination, which is related to the accuracy of the conclusions of the experimental data, and there must be no negligence.
Fortunately, Ronald was attentive enough.
He had memorized every detail of the handling that Miss Pea had told him on the road, and the pea vine, which was only flowering and could not see the specific details.
At the moment, it's nothing more than putting a backpack on your back and pollinating these pea vines.
And don't forget to wash your backpack at the pool to the east at the end of each pollination -
