"Agricultural research is based on crops, so we must select and cultivate better seeds from excellent crops across the country and even the world."

"This process is very long. It often takes dozens or even hundreds of generations to improve a crop.

Communication and cultivation take a lot of time.”

Chen Youping looked at Song Ziyu and said: "The domestication of a crop often takes thousands of years or even longer. Moreover, this domestication relationship is mutually restrictive."

"While humans are domesticating wheat, wheat has also completed the domestication of humans."

"According to the progress of our work, when the crops are improved, I'm afraid everyone will starve to death."

Having said this, Mr. Chen looked directly at Song Ziyu and said: "For us, if we want to achieve rapid progress, there is only one way to go."

"What way?" Song Ziyu sat up straight.

Mr. Chen said slowly: "That is to find extremely superior seeds, seeds that can change the pattern of crops."

Seeing this, Mr. Chen sighed: "The teacher is lucky... His luck is that although he is engaged in biological science research, he is also a scholar with extremely profound literary skills."

"When the scientific research project encountered a dead end, he thought of the mythical texts passed down from ancient times."

"The teacher came across an allusion in the "Beihuang Jing", which records: 'The mountain in the north of Xinjiang is covered with hundreds of grass and trees. There is a tree on it, whose name is Emperor Xiu. Its leaves are like poplars, and its branches have five branches, with yellow flowers and black flowers.

Really, those who obey will not be angry.'"

"Look at this sentence... a hundred trees and a hundred plants grow together."

Chen Lao analyzed: "This is the first time records of crops appear in ancient classical books."

Song Ziyu listened attentively, feeling as if he was about to come into contact with some great secret.

Sure enough, Mr. Chen whispered: "Teacher read through many classics and found several records about the plant 'Dixiu'. Gradually, the teacher discovered a great secret!"

"What secret?"

Song Ziyu came up to Mr. Chen, looked at Mr. Chen and asked.

"The teacher discovered that the plant Dixiu often grows together with another sacred tree, and that plant called 'Dragon Blood Tree' was something that was forbidden by the gods in ancient times."

"Teacher got a glimpse of its secrets from the fragments of ancient books...Dragon blood wood is responsible for hair growth, breaking reincarnation, accessing the heavens, and asking for immortality."

"What do you mean?" Song Ziyu was stunned.

Mr. Chen simply said: "You can simply understand that if you eat the fruit of the Dragon Blood Tree, you will become immortal and live forever."

Song Ziyu smiled: "Isn't this a joke? If someone really can live forever, then what are we talking about?"

Chen Youping smiled bitterly and said: "Originally, the teacher and I didn't think this was true, but the teacher decided to go to Northern Xinjiang to find out. Then after three months of trekking, we came to the vicinity of Kongshi Mountain in Northern Xinjiang, and then

…”

At this point, Chen Youping's breathing suddenly became rapid.

He took a sip of wine and said: "We saw a strange plant on the empty corpse mountain, with an eagle and a poisonous snake fighting each other!"

"At an altitude of 5,700 meters, there are venomous snakes!"

"This in itself is an anomaly!"

"The teacher and I paid attention for a long time, and then the sky suddenly cracked with thunderbolts, and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and bombarded the ancient trees, directly turning the poisonous snakes and eagles, as well as the ancient trees, into powder."
