The Interstellar’s Expert Plant Tamer

Chapter 90: press conference



The next morning, Xie Sen and Maine had just finished breakfast when Long Teng and Bai Jiao came to help them move. It is very convenient to have a backpack to move. All the things are put in the backpack, and the hands of the four people are still empty.

When Xie Sen thought of the scene of the university twisting his luggage to move the dormitory in the past, he felt so refreshed!

Maine contacted the landlord, checked out, and after the formalities were cleared, the four went to the new residence.

It takes more time to tidy up the house. Fortunately, Maine and Long Teng are both strong, and they can put the furniture wherever they want.

In less than two hours, the new home of Xie Sen and Maine was finished. Seeing that it was still early, Xie Sen took out the plant seeds obtained from the Yamu Continent and found tall tree seeds from them.

Long Teng asked curiously, “What is this for?”

Xie Sen said about the plan of the land next to him: “I’m going to plant the seeds of these trees first.” Thinking of the poor soil quality, he took out some watermelon seeds.

After the plants in the system grow, the soil quality can be improved so that these trees can grow up smoothly.

Hearing this, Long Teng curiously followed them outside with Bai Jiao.

Xie Sen circled the area with white lime powder. Maine dug a pit, he threw the seeds into the pit, and Maine covered the seeds with soil. The two cooperated very well.

Seeing their casual appearance, Bai Jiao couldn’t help but said, “Is this really viable? Why don’t I take the seeds to the laboratory to cultivate and germinate and then give them to you to plant?”

“No,” Xie Sen shook his head, “that’s it.”

The wood energy has been recovered, and watermelons are planted next to him. He is not worried about the growth of green plants.

The four moved very neatly, and the seeds were planted in the morning.

At noon, Xie Sen made a sumptuous lunch in the new apartment, and invited Xu Da over to thank him for helping to take care of the contracted beast. After the meal, the three Xu Da left, and Xie Sen and Main went to the Institute of Botany.

Ma Qun gave Xie Sen permission, and Xie Sen brushed the wristband all the way without obstruction. After asking the staff, he went directly to the breeding base to find Ma Qun.

Walking into the planting base, Xie Sen’s eyes lit up immediately. Not far away, there were patches of pepper trees growing very lushly. The green leaves and red fruits were particularly beautiful.

There were still quite a few people standing in the bushes, walking up and down the paths in the bushes, bending over to check from time to time, and then taking notes.

“There.” Maine pointed to the group of horses at the farthest point.

Xie Sen pulled Maine and followed the path beside the pepper tree to find the horses. He looked at the pepper tree as he walked, and the more he saw it, the more delighted he became. There are many peppers on the tree, both blue and red, almost half and half.

“President Ma.” Xie Sen approached and said hello, pointing to the pepper tree, “The red ones are ripe and ready to be picked.”

Ma Qun was bending over to test the pepper tree, and when he heard his voice, he straightened up and looked over with a smile on his face: “This half is going to be kept for seeding, so that it will continue to grow, and the other half will start picking tomorrow. ”

Xie Sen laughed: “Then I have a good time!”

Ma Qun smiled and said, “I will give you the first batch of chili peppers, and you are indispensable. The output is much more than we expected. After half a month, the green ones will grow up, and the current flowers will bear fruit at that time.”

After Ma Qun finished speaking, he waved to Xie Sen: “Follow me.”

Xie Sen pulled Maine, and the two walked behind the horses to the edge of the pepper field. When they were on the side, Xie Sen said happily: “Tomato tree! You have successfully cultivated it!”

The tomato tree is only about **** long, but it grows very vigorously, and the number is not large. At first glance, there are only about twenty or thirty trees, but as long as it can be successfully cultivated, the number is not important at all!

When these trees grow up, they will bear a lot of fruit, and they can be planted in large quantities by saving seeds.

Ma Qun nodded, looked at the tomato tree with relief for a while, and then looked at Xie Sen: “Thank you for this.”

Xie Sen waved his hand: “This has nothing to do with me. The tomato tree was brought back by researcher Li You, and it has nothing to do with me at all.”

Ma Qun said, “Even if you didn’t talk about saving him, I would like to thank you. Do you remember what I said before about the failure of tomato cultivation?”

Xie Sen nodded: “Yes, you said it.”

Ma Qun looked cautious: “When I contacted you yesterday, I said there was a new discovery.” He looked at the pepper bushes. “Since the pepper trees were transplanted to the ground, we have been very careful and will do various data tests every day.”

His eyes fell on Xie Sen’s face: “We found that as the peppers grow, the soil quality of the land where the peppers are located continues to change, becoming more and more suitable for plant growth.”

His eyes lit up: “Later we tested the land near it, and it turned out that they were also affected! We discussed many times, and in order to confirm this, we deliberately planted tomatoes in the position closest to the pepper field, and it was successful. It’s gone!”

Xie Sen immediately understood that Adan said that the soil quality can be changed after planting, but the research institute was able to find out the problem so quickly because they worked carefully and carefully, which he admired very much.

Ma Qun looked at him: “After that, we tested all the land where plants are grown. Only the peppers and potatoes you provided will change the soil quality, and the rest of the plants will still not work.”

He asked excitedly, “Where did your plants come from? Did your contract plants grow?”

Xie Sen said with a smile: “Director Ma, don’t forget, there are two kinds of plants you mentioned, how could a contracted beast plant grow two different plants? Pepper is my contracted plant, and potatoes are found in the wild. .”

Ma Qun pondered: “What did you do after you got the potatoes?”

Xie Sen shook his head, Ma Qun frowned, and said to himself: “This is very strange, why can it change the soil quality like pepper?”

Xie Sen said with a smile: “Perhaps you are fertilizing?”

Ma Qun shook his head: “No, we have been applying various fertilizers and nutrients to the land, but the nutrients in the land will be lost, and the plants will not be able to absorb them. The peppers and potatoes you give, the land where they are planted and the nearby land, nutrients can be retained. In the soil, it can also be absorbed by plants, and it grows well without fertilization.”

Xie Sen blinked: “Ah, it’s amazing!”

Ma Qun looked at his confused look and said with a smile, “You really don’t know why?”

Xie Sen said: “I don’t know if you don’t tell me!”

The horses thought for a moment: “Do you have any other plants?”

Xie Sen nodded: “Yes, I went out and found a lot of plants this time, just for you.”

Ma Qun said with joy: “Go, go to the office to talk.”

When he got to the office, Xie Sen took out the seeds and fruits brought back by Yamu Continent, the seeds of watermelon in the system, as well as rice and dragon fruit.

Ma Qun called two researchers to separate the various seeds. The researchers were excited and excited when they saw the seeds, and carefully placed the seeds.

Ma Qun recorded all the seeds: “According to the old rules or give you bonus money?”

“Old rules.” Xie Sen didn’t hesitate. For him now, plants are more attractive than money, and the way of dividends is definitely more cost-effective in the long run.

Ma Qun nodded and quickly drew up a contract, which was signed by both parties.

Xie Sen said with a smile: “Then I won’t bother you, and I will contact you if you have anything.”

“Wait,” Ma Qun raised his hand to stop him from leaving, “there is one more thing.”

Xie Sen looked at him suspiciously, and Ma Qun said: “After the pepper picking tomorrow morning, the research institute will hold a press conference at noon to announce that the pepper will be available. You are the discoverer, and it is best to show up.”

Seeing Xie Sen’s hesitation, Ma Qun said: “I thought about it, you are a public figure and you are not afraid to show your face. And you are a student of the Department of Botany, and July is the professional assessment month for fresh graduates. You can participate in the press conference and get the assessment directly. Full marks.”

Xie Sen almost forgot that he hadn’t gotten his diploma yet. He recalled the comprehensive scoring items for the graduation certificate, the exam in March, the internship from April to June, and the professional assessment in July. Only by passing the comprehensive score can he graduate in August. certificate.

July is the whole month of the test, and I don’t know how to test it. If I go to various places to identify plants, wouldn’t it take a lot of time?

Thinking of this, Xie Sen immediately agreed. Anyway, he has passed by many times in the live broadcast room, so don’t worry about being known about his appearance: “Okay, I’ll come over tomorrow.”

Ma Qun said: “The press conference will be held in the lobby on the first floor of a building. You can go there at ten o’clock tomorrow.”

Xie Sen agreed, said goodbye to Ma Qun, and left the institute with Maine.

Back at the apartment, Xie Sen went to the contract beast, and Maine went to the workshop. After Maine arrived at the workshop, he first opened the live broadcast room and projected the screen on the wall opposite him. After seeing Xie Sen, he began to design the program.

As soon as Xie Sen entered the living area, he heard the voice of the gift announcement: “…The giant crocodile is great, come to the center of the camera!”

Xie Sen raised his eyebrows, wondering what the giant crocodile had done. He glanced at it and saw the giant crocodile beast at a glance. The giant crocodile was crawling fast, and Xiao Yin was lying on its flat and broad back, being carried around by it.

Xiaoyin seemed to be very excited, and kept his shells open, like a huge moving lantern.

Xiaoyin saw Xie Sen, the shells were opened and closed, the lights flashed instantly, and the giant crocodile quickly turned around and ran to Xie Sen’s side.

Xie Sen touched the head of the giant crocodile and asked about its physical condition. The giant crocodile flicked its tail, and the thick tail hit the ground with a loud noise: “My body has recovered!”

Xie Sen glanced at the ground. Fortunately, there were no cracks. He tapped the forehead of the giant crocodile: “Doesn’t it hurt?”

The giant crocodile: “It doesn’t hurt, I don’t use force, I can force it to show you.”

“Don’t,” Xie Sen quickly stopped, “this is your residence, take good care of it!”

The giant crocodile said: “Well, the black panther told me, I will protect our territory!”

Xie Sen smiled, then reached out and touched Xiaoyin, Xiaoyin’s voice was soft, and his tone was very excited: “Asen, I’ve turned this place over and over, haha, the new friends are amazing, I can go anywhere I want. ”

Xie Sen smiled: “It’s fine if you like it.”

He went to see the giant bear beast again. The giant bear beast was learning to dance with the giant tiger beast. Xie Sen watched the two giants twisting and turning, silently supporting their foreheads.

The barrage was full of ‘hahaha’, and someone gave a gift and said specially: “Hahaha, the anchor’s expression is so funny, let them learn to dance, don’t stop it!”

Xie Sen smiled helplessly, two stopped and stretched out their claws towards him at the same time, it touched one with one hand, the giant tiger said: “Hahaha, the giant bear is very smart! It jumps like a human, it is definitely Our dance king!”

Xie Sen laughed out loud: “Where did you learn this?”

The giant bear beast covered his face with one paw, but opened his mouth and laughed boldly: “Haha, I still have to study hard, the live show I watched this morning, the dance king danced much better than me.”

The giant tiger said: “We don’t talk about modesty here! You are the king of dance, didn’t you listen to that person? He has studied for more than ten years, and you have only studied for an hour!”

The giant bear beast immediately said: “Yes, I am the dance king!”

Xie Sen: The poisoning is a bit deep… When he saw the giant bear beast like this, he didn’t ask about its physical condition. He knew it was good at a glance.

At this time, the two giant leopard beasts walked over with graceful steps. The black panther lifted the meat pad, and Xie Sen rubbed it on it: “What’s wrong?”

The black panther turned his head to look at the gate: “We want to go out. I saw it when I came. A lot of land here is fenced. Is it your territory?”

Xie Sen: “…” Why does the word “territorial” sound a little strange? He said, “Yes.”

Black Panther said: “Then can we go to your site to play?”

Xie Sen thought about it, he and Maine had built a high fence around the land, which was considered a closed place. The contracted beasts had high IQs and were very obedient, and it was not a big problem to go out.

After all, contracted beasts are used to living in the forest, staying indoors all the time, no matter how large the area is, they are not as comfortable outside.

He nodded: “Yes, but don’t go out of the fence. There are a lot of seeds planted in the ground outside, you have to be careful not to step on them.”

“No problem.” Black Panther nodded his head and tilted his head to the door, “Let’s go!”

Xie Sen walked towards the door with a smile, two giant leopard beasts followed behind him, and the other contracted beasts saw him open the door and quickly ran over from everywhere.

He laughed, it seems that they all want to go outside!

“‘Little Spot Guardian’ gave the anchor a watermelon rain, ah, ah, anchor, where are you taking them! It’s beyond the camera now!”

Xie Sen heard the words: “They want to go out for a walk. Well, they may go out often in the future. Later, I will ask someone to install cameras outside, which will not affect future live broadcasts.”

After he finished speaking, he explained the precautions to the contracted beasts, and then opened the door to the maximum to facilitate the contracted beasts to enter and exit.

When the contracted beasts saw the spacious, open-air land, they screamed excitedly and rushed straight out. Xie Sen quickly stopped them and taught them to identify the land where seeds were planted, in case they stepped on it.

The contracted beasts ran away, avoiding the ground where the seeds were planted, and running around happily.

The giant crocodile beast carried Xiaoyin on his back, ran back to Xie Sen after a while, Xiaoyin Zhang closed the shell, Xie Sen put his hand on the shell, Xiaoyin said softly: “Asen, can we build a pool outside? , I want to sunbathe in the water.”

The giant crocodile’s tail is twisted, and the tip of the tail is lightly next to Xie Sen: “I think so too!”

Xie Sen looked at the piece of land and pondered for a while. After the trees grew up, a river in the trees seemed to be more beautiful, and it was more convenient to water, and it could also meet the needs of Xiaoyin.

He nodded: “Okay, I’ll arrange it.”

He looked around and made a quick decision to extend a man-made river from the waters of the living quarters up to the diagonal top of the fence, which is the length of the maximum span.

In this way, it is convenient to water the saplings, and at the same time, Xiaoyin and water-loving animals can travel to the outside and living areas through the artificial river.

After thinking about it, he immediately contacted the construction company, and then contacted the staff who installed the lens. Both parties said that they would come to the door as soon as possible.

Twenty minutes later, Xie Sen’s wristband rang, which was the sound of the doorbell. The situation outside the door was also displayed on his wristband, and the doorbell at the door also rang.

The giant python was closest to the gate. It coiled its body in the shadow of the wall. When it heard the sound, it raised its head and leaned against the wall to look out.

“Ah…” Suddenly, several screams came.

The giant python beast Jasper blinked, retracting his head and reaching towards Xie Sen.

Xie Sen was going to remotely control the door, but when he saw it, he had to run over and tap on its head. The python whispered, “I didn’t mean to.”

Xie Sen smiled and said, “It’s fine.” He stepped forward and opened the door.

Some of the five people at the door looked frightened and some looked excited. When they saw the other contracted beasts inside the door curiously looking at them, their emotions doubled.

Xie Sen said: “Please come in, you don’t have to be afraid, as long as you are not malicious, they will not attack you.”

The five returned to their senses and entered the door. Xie Sen closed the door and first asked the person who installed the lens: “I hope the entire land can be used for the lens.”

The staff said: “The spherical global camera can do it, the price is a bit expensive, and the minimum is 200,000.”

“That’s it.” Xie Sen decided at once, and the staff responded. After the inspection, they chose the middle position and started the installation.

Xie Sen told the people in the construction company about his location plan for the man-made river, and at the same time asked: “At least three meters wide, the bottom and walls of the river are inlaid with white tiles, how long will it take to complete it?”

The construction head said: “If we rush the work, it can be completed today, but if we need to call someone, the related water diversion and outlet facilities and the river can be started at the same time, which can be much faster.”

Xie Sen looked at the contracted beasts gathered, and saw the nervous and excited look of the staff, and immediately said: “Then call it, finish it today.”

The construction head did not delay, and called ten people over. Everyone drove a tool vehicle such as an excavator and a dirt truck. The construction head neatly arranged the work content for them, and one person was responsible for one section and started at the same time.

Seeing this, Xie Sen finally understood why the construction team’s construction efficiency was so high.

The construction head glanced at the staff to check the progress of their work, and his eyes suddenly stopped: “God, what is that?”

Xie Sen looked over and saw the giant armored beast digging a hole. It was very fast, and it dug a short section at once. Xie Sen laughed: “It’s a giant beast that likes to dig holes.”

The construction head looked envious: “If only I could work in our company!”

Xie Sen smiled and walked to the giant armored beast: “If you are tired, rest.” The giant armored beast nodded, buried its head and started digging again, its tail swaying happily from side to side.

Xie Sen watched for a while, unable to stand in the sun, and told the staff and contracted beasts to go back to the apartment.

The construction head was startled: “This, how can this work, so many high-level contracted beasts are here, what if… what if something happens?”

Xie Sen reassured: “Look, they all play their own way, and nothing will happen. As long as you don’t hurt them, they won’t hurt you.”

He returned to the apartment, and when he walked into the hall, Maine was coming down from the second floor, and Xie Sen talked about Jianhe.

Maine hugged him and sat on the sofa, poured him a glass of water: “Take a break.”

At ten o’clock the next day, Xie Sen and Main arrived at the hall of the Institute of Botany on time. Xie Sen entered the venue with a wristband. When he entered, he was shocked. The hall was very large and filled with people. camera equipment.

Xie Sen lowered the brim of his hat subconsciously. When he and Maine came, they each wore a peaked cap, covering most of their faces, and they were not noticed along the way.

“Assen.” One person walked over quickly, Xie Sen looked up, saw Li You, and quickly greeted with a smile.

Li You smiled and said, “This is the reception area for reporters and spectators who draw lots. Come with me. I’ll take you to the backcourt.”

In the backcourt, Xie Sen saw Dean Ma, who was obviously dressed up, and a few familiar researchers. They greeted each other, and Ma Qun said: “Don’t be nervous, the press conference will be over within an hour, I When you say your name, go out and say hello.”

Xie Sen nodded, when the staff shouted: “President Ma, there are still two minutes for you to speak.”

Ma Qun got up and straightened his clothes, pointing to the wall in the backcourt: “You can watch the live broadcast here, you can watch it for a while, then just stand next to me when you go out.” After he finished speaking, he walked out quickly.

Li You greeted Xie Sen and Maine to sit down and watch the live broadcast together.

Xie Sen looked at the popularity in the lower left corner, more than 52 million, and it was still rising rapidly. He was surprised: “Is this the real-time number?”

Li You nodded: “The live broadcast is for the entire Brant star, and it is not open to foreigners, so the number of people is not large.”

Xie Sen was stunned, is this not too much?

The host gave a brief opening remarks, and then said: “Next, I will ask Dean Ma Qunma of the Institute of Botany to give a specific introduction.”

Ma Qun walked to the front of the stage with an elegant smile and bright eyes: “Welcome everyone, today we are going to announce a new type of vegetable – pepper. This vegetable was very popular in the past, and at the same time it is still a popular vegetable. seasoning.”

The barrage immediately praised: “President Ma is good, straight to the point, no ink at all!”

“President Ma is so handsome today!”

Ma Qun paused for a moment, then continued: “After careful data analysis, the results obtained are very gratifying. Chili is rich in vitamins and trace elements, of which vitamin E is closely related to the fertility rate. We are optimistic that it may improve. The problem with the plummeting fertility rate right now.”

Immediately, a huge voice of discussion came out from the crowd at the press conference, and everyone’s faces were very excited. Above the live broadcast room where the smart barrage had been set up, there were all barrages.

“Really? My God, sell it quickly, I want to buy it!”

“I want to eat! I can eat a hundred pounds!”

After Ma Qun waited for the scene to be quiet, he continued: “At present, there are many kinds of plants under research and planting in the research institute, and we will meet you one by one soon.”

His tone was full of passion: “I believe that the day when we can eat vegetables and fruits at any time is not far away, and one day, we will return to a normal diet, no longer need nutrient solution, and all newborns will be healthy and strong! ”

The audience at the scene responded one after another, and the barrage was also swiped by the ‘Botanical Research Institute of Botany’.

Ma Qun said: “This is the result of everyone’s hard work over the years. Many people have sacrificed their lives for this. I would like to express my deep gratitude to everyone who has contributed to the cause of plants.”

He said for a while: “Now, I will introduce the discoverer of peppers – Xie Sen, thank him.”

Immediately, there was thunderous applause.

Maine shook Xie Sen’s hand, Xie Sen’s nervous mood suddenly calmed down, tilted his head and smiled at Maine, got up and walked out.

As soon as he went out, facing many cameras, he couldn’t help feeling nervous, with a standard smile on his face: “Hello everyone.”

The discussion below came, and Xie Sen heard the words ‘live broadcast’ and ‘contract beast’, and it was no surprise that he was recognized.

Ma Qun thanked him again, and then said, “That’s it for the information about chili peppers. Next is the question-and-answer session.”

The reporters’ questions basically revolved around chili peppers. The biggest focus was on the nutrition of chili peppers. Ma Qun answered them neatly. Xie Sen basically didn’t have to worry about it, he just nodded in response, which almost became his subconscious action.

Ma Qun suddenly asked, “Asen, can you cook?”

Shane nodded.

Ma Qun said: “Okay, finally, as usual, let the chili discoverer show us how to eat it on the spot!”

Xie Sen raised his head, which he had just nodded, and was stunned, so now he is demonstrating cooking?

Ma Qun asked, “What do you want to do? What ingredients do you want to prepare?”

Xie Sen watched the staff move the kitchen equipment to the stage, and thought for a while: “The fish with more tender meat, it’s better to slice it and bring it here.”

Soon someone sent a large bowl of fish fillets. Xie Sen looked at the peppers and salt and felt deeply that there were too few condiments.

As he burned the oil, he wondered, how did the vinegar and soy sauce come about? It seems to be made of food, maybe ask a culinary student? It is also very sad to have food without seasoning!

Boiled fish with limited condiments is really good. He stir-fried chili peppers to make chili oil, put salt and water on fish fillets, and the spicy taste soon spread in the venue.

The reporters and audience at the scene neatly stretched their necks to look at the pot, their saliva was drawn out by the spicy taste, and they swallowed silently. Some people couldn’t help shouting: “It’s so delicious! President Ma, I’m applying for a trial!”

“I’m here, I’m here to try it!” The reporters and audience at the scene raised their hands, eager to try.

The camera closes up the inside of the pot. There is a layer of red chili oil floating on the white fish fillet, which looks particularly gorgeous and delicious.

The barrage exploded: “President Ma! I’m at the entrance of the institute, let me in!”

“I’m going too. Looking at the expressions of the people on the scene, I’m just too curious! What’s the smell!”

“President Ma swallowed too, I saw it!”

“Come on! When will it start selling? If I can’t get it, I’ll buy it!”
