"Who is this?" In the Academy of Sciences in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao asked curiously as he looked at a corpse surrounded by researchers from the Academy of Sciences.
"See you, Your Highness!" Everyone saw Zhu Biao arriving and saluted hurriedly.
At the same time, Zhang Changsheng explained: "Your Highness, this is Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty."
"Just shipped from another world in the late Qing Dynasty!"
"According to our research, he is in the process of becoming a zombie, but it has not yet completely completed it. This is the first zombie we have caught. It is extremely precious and will be of great help to us in studying the characteristics of ghosts and gods."
When Zhang Chenggang was reporting to Zhu Biao, Emperor Xianfeng, who was lying on the bed like a dead body, suddenly opened his eyes. He roared like a wild beast, and broke his body with three consecutive sounds of boom, boom, boom. He tied up the iron chain and rushed towards a female researcher next to him.
Zhu Biao's ears and eyes were sharp, and he had already moved the moment Xianfeng stood up. After realizing its intention, Zhu Biao stood directly in front of the female researcher, and grabbed Emperor Xianfeng's neck with his big hands like iron claws. .
"Roar...!" Xianfeng shouted angrily again, and the nails on his hands suddenly clawed at Zhu Biao's face.
"Your Highness, be careful of corpse poison!" Zhang Changshang was so frightened that he felt like he was dying.
"Bang!" Of course Zhu Biao knew that this thing's nails were poisonous. He didn't give the other party any time to react. He directly lifted him up and dropped him to the ground with a bang.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Four of Zhu Biao's personal guards suddenly appeared from the darkness. Two of them pressed their hands, two of them pressed their feet, and finally the guy was restrained.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Zhang Changshang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked.
"fine!"
Zhu Biao shook his head and frowned: "You are too careless. This thing is extraordinary no matter what. If I hadn't happened to come over, it would have killed all of you within a minute!"
"We thought it was the same kind as the living dead guards under the Holy Aunt, and even if it was bigger, its power would be limited. We didn't expect that this thing would be so much more powerful than those living dead guards!" Zhang Changshang couldn't help but be secretly afraid.
If Zhu Biao hadn't happened to come to the Academy of Sciences for an inspection today, they would have really suffered.
Hearing what Zhang Chenggong said, Zhu Biao couldn't help but stare.
Zheng Yisao's living dead bodyguards are actually zombies. Zhu Biao has personally tested them, and they are indeed much weaker than the guy in front of him.
Perhaps it was because the Manchus had some unique sacrificial methods.
Zhu Biao turned his head and looked at Emperor Xianfeng, who was barely suppressed by four ninth-grade warriors taking action at the same time, and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
In terms of strength alone, this guy is already comparable to a master on the sixteenth floor of Wusheng Tower.
"Your Highness, its defensive capabilities are also very strong!"
"Almost invulnerable!" a guard said.
He wanted to use a knife just now, but when the knife hit this guy, it was like cutting on a steel plate. They had no choice but to use force to suppress him.
"Let it go and I'll try again!" Zhu Biao said.
He knew that Qianlong was very likely to be an old rice dumpling. If the Ming Dynasty wanted to take over the Northeast, they would most likely encounter this thing. It would definitely be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty to figure out its weaknesses now.
"Roar...!" The moment Emperor Xianfeng was let go, he roared again and rushed towards Zhu Biao.
"The speed is only a little faster than ordinary people, and the limbs are stiff."
"Response is very slow!"
"IQ is basically zero!"
"But according to the previous description by the holy aunt Zheng Yisao, the Qing emperor used ghosts and gods to integrate into himself in order to lock the soul in the body to extend his life. Now this is obviously not qualified."
"Perhaps Emperor Xianfeng's soul was not locked due to some change!" Zhu Biao thought secretly while struggling with it.
"Bang!" Zhu Biao finally kicked it away.
"alright!"
"Control him!"
After hearing Zhu Biao's order, four ninth-grade warriors immediately surrounded him again with chains in hand.
This time the chains were made of fine steel and twice as thick as before. There was absolutely no chance of this guy escaping again.
"Master Zhang, tell me what substantial progress you have made in your research on ghosts and gods?" Zhu Biao ignored the zombie and asked about the research on ghosts and gods that Zhang Changshang was responsible for.
"Your Highness, the best results now are in breeding!"
"After our repeated experiments, we found that the more ghosts and gods are in a rich aura environment, the less they will have a stimulating effect on plants. If the aura is strong enough, those ghosts and gods will even enter a state of self-protection and become silent, losing any biological characteristics. .”
"So we speculate based on this, maybe there is not only aura that can bring extraordinary upgrade to creatures, but this kind of ghosts and gods are extraordinary creatures born in another extraordinary environment, and they happen to be in conflict with aura."
"interesting!"
"Keep talking!" Zhu Biao showed a look of interest on his face.
"Let's assume that the other gas is magic gas!"
"The environment created by this kind of demonic energy should be an extremely domineering and extraordinary environment. In the environment of demonic energy, all things compete and evolve freely, and it is hundreds of times more tragic than in ordinary environments."
"It's really hard to imagine what life would look like in such an environment."
"What would happen if humans were in such an environment?"
Zhang Changsheng was talking and suddenly realized that he was off topic. He coughed quickly and brought the topic back to continue: "Of course, these are just our speculations and cannot be confirmed for the time being, and these things are not within the scope of our research. Inside."
"What I want to say is that for more than ten years, we have used the spirit gathering array to change the intensity of the spiritual energy, and set up more than two hundred different spiritual energy environments to allow ghosts and gods to blend into the rice in such environments."
"In the end, we found an aura environment that allowed the rice with ghosts and gods to grow faster and even undergo various small-scale mutations, but it would not die in a very short period of time."
"This gives rice a lot of room to adapt."
"After that, we spent a lot of time screening and finally selected three improved varieties with good stability and promotion value among tens of thousands of mutant rice varieties."
"We have planted these three types of rice seeds for three or four generations without any signs of degradation. They can be bred and planted in large quantities."
"Tell me more about these three kinds of rice seeds!" Zhu Biao said expectantly.
"This first type is spiritual rice. It has a growth period of two years. The ears of grain it produces are very small, but they are all spiritual rice. This kind of spiritual rice is a treasure for warriors. It can greatly increase the speed of warriors' cultivation. Even for Those who are strong in the Xiantian realm can also improve their cultivation!"
"However, this kind of spiritual rice has extremely high requirements on the spiritual energy environment. It cannot be planted in the current spiritual energy environment. It can only be done by building a large spirit gathering array."
"The second type we named it ghost rice. The characteristic of this kind of ghost rice is its high yield. We have tested that one acre of good quality land can produce seven to eight stones of grain if there is sufficient fertilizer. This yield is higher than today's Today’s rice production has almost tripled or quadrupled.”
"One stone is one hundred and fifty kilograms, and eight stones of grain is one thousand two hundred kilograms. This yield is even equal to that of modern rice."
Zhu Biao was secretly surprised.
"Of course, this kind of rice tastes bad and astringent, and if you want to have such a harvest, the fertility of the land must keep up, otherwise it will not be able to achieve such a yield in the first year."
Zhang Changsheng continued to introduce: "The third type is ordinary rice. Of course, the yield has also increased. Now the ordinary rice outside can only produce two stones per mu, but if we use our seeds, it can be increased to three stones. If there is sufficient fertilizer, even It can reach four stones.”
"very nice!"
"Except for the first spiritual rice, I will hand over the remaining two improved rice varieties to the Ministry of Revenue for them to promote as appropriate!"
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction.
After studying it for so long, we finally see hope of solving the food problem.
In this way, even if the spiritual energy recovers again, there is no need to worry about famine caused by reduced food production.
"You can't just focus on rice!"
"Sweet potatoes, corn, wheat, soybeans, these all need to be cultivated and improved!"
“And the same goes for all types of vegetables!”
"In the past few years, I have traveled almost all over the world and found many new varieties of vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, etc., and we can try to improve their varieties."
"By the way, not just plants, but animals too!"
"Just like horses, there is no progress in research on zombie horses. You can try to change the direction!"
"If we breed a Pegasus with wings, wouldn't we have an air force in the future?" Zhu Biao said with a smile.
"Okay, Your Highness!"
"We will continue to work hard and strive to cultivate more improved varieties." Zhang Changshang was a little embarrassed. He had to lament the prince's unparalleled imagination.
"Please give me a list of researchers who have developed improved rice varieties this time!"
"Of course, there is Zhang Tianshi. I have reported it to the emperor, and the emperor has agreed to restore your position as a Tianshi of Longhu Mountain. Now you are a second-grade Celestial Master awarded by the imperial court."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhang Changsheng said excitedly.
"Haha, no need to say thank you."
"No matter who works hard, the court will not treat him badly." Zhu Biao smiled and patted Zhang Normal's shoulder.
In fact, this time it was not just Zhang Chenggong, Si Yongyi and Ping An also restored their status as Taoist priests. If they wanted, they could leave the Academy of Sciences and return to Sanshan Taoist Gate at any time.
Anyway, the current Academy of Sciences personnel are sufficient.
The talents cultivated by the imperial court over the years have gradually come to the forefront and are ready to take on major responsibilities.
These three masters of Sanshan Dao Sect have lost their original value, so it is no big deal to let them go back.
Of course, even if they go back, it will be impossible for them to recruit disciples as unscrupulously as before.
Sanshan Daomen must accept the jurisdiction of the Dragon Protection Division, and the issuance of Daomen's ultimatums will also be strictly restricted!
