From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 893 - 519: The Terrifying Experimental Results

Chapter 893: Chapter 519: The Terrifying Experimental Results

Anhe Plant Research Institute.

This is a research institute under the Academy of Sciences and is one of the institutes dedicated to researching the fluorescent plants of the Micro-light Star.

The samples of fluorescent plants have been distributed to several animal and plant research institutes for experimentation, and Anhe Plant Research Institute was the first to provide results.

Lu Heng wanted to verify the growth conditions of the fluorescent plants, so together with Qi Jinhui, he came to this plant research institute.

The institute’s director, Professor He Yuhong, led the two into the plant greenhouse to observe the cultivated fluorescent plants.

"The growth rate of these fluorescent plants is much faster than the plants of Blue Star. We’ve conducted over a hundred sets of planting experiments.

"We’ve already obtained some experimental data. From a scientifically rigorous standpoint, to draw accurate conclusions, a comparison with control groups is still needed.

"But since you requested the experimental data as soon as possible, I can only provide preliminary conclusions.

"First, they do not require sunlight, or rather their demand for sunlight is not high.

"From the ten control group experiments, the plants under sunlight were slightly more flourishing, but the difference was not significant.

"I hypothesize that these fluorescent plants can absorb energy from sunlight to aid in growth. More control group experiments are needed to confirm the specific conclusion.

"The fluorescent plants without exposure to sunlight also grew quite well."

Lu Heng looked at the fluorescent plants in the petri dish and said, "The world where these fluorescent plants originate has only one red dwarf star, and the dust in the planetary atmosphere forms a ring, blocking the light from the red dwarf star, so the environment lacks stellar light."

Professor He Yuhong continued walking forward to introduce the next experiment group:

"This group completely simulates the environment of Blue Star, experimenting with different soils and river waters.

"The results are not much different, indicating that these plants do not have strict requirements for soil and moisture."

Lu Heng looked at the fluorescent plants planted in the experimental containers and found that they indeed grew very well.

However, the most crucial aspect lies in the fluorescent characteristics.

"What about the fluorescent characteristics? Have there been any signs of weakening?"

He Yuhong shook his head and replied, "The time is too short. Even if there is weakening in fluorescent characteristics, it is difficult to analyze in just a few days."

"Our laboratory conducted tests on the content of fluorescent substances as you requested.

"Current test data shows that the fluorescent substance content in the cultivated fluorescent plants is not significantly different.

"Compared to the original plants, the difference in fluorescent substance content is between 1% and 2%.

"We’ve compared multiple original plants, and there is also variation in fluorescent substance content among them.

"So this 1% to 2% difference cannot serve as evidence of the weakening of fluorescent characteristics."

Lu Heng pondered for a moment and asked, "How long would it take to conclude whether the fluorescent characteristics would weaken?"

He Yuhong contemplated for a while before answering, "Based on our current experimental progress and the growth rate of fluorescent plants, it will take at least six months to reach preliminary conclusions.

"If you want a conclusion at the level of a research paper, it might take two years."

Not to mention two years, even six months is too long to wait.

Now the Star Realm Merchant has already taken the Reincarnation Source Material, but they didn’t take the Reincarnation Source Material back to their original world.

This means that the Star Realm Merchant definitely has another motive.

If the fluorescent plants can indeed grow on Blue Star, and their fluorescent characteristics do not weaken, the situation becomes serious.

If this assumption holds, it implies the Star Realm Merchant’s goal is undoubtedly to occupy Blue Star.

The Star Realm Merchant Civilization has been wandering for tens of thousands of years, and their clan is nearing extinction.

If at this time, they found a world where fluorescent plants can be cultivated to support their clan’s survival and reproduction, what would they do?

It’s hard to say what the Star Realm Merchant would do.

If humans faced the same crisis as the Star Realm Merchant, Lu Heng would choose to occupy the target world to strive for the hope of continuing human civilization.

Therefore, to know the Star Realm Merchant’s goal, it’s necessary to clarify whether Blue Star is suitable for the growth of fluorescent plants.

...

Regarding whether fluorescent plants can grow on Blue Star, the Star Realm Merchant must have already conducted experiments.

This is beyond doubt.

Because the Star Realm Merchant established the Creator Organization in the human world, and this organization should be responsible for conducting experiments for the Star Realm Merchant.

The first appearance of the Creator Organization was already two and a half years ago.

Two and a half years is enough for the Star Realm Merchant to obtain accurate experimental conclusions.

This means that the Star Realm Merchant clearly knows the answer.

Back in the Ecological Ball, the fluorescent shadow left by Jalama once said: the human world is not suitable for the growth of fluorescent plants.

At that time, Lu Heng didn’t think deeply about it. Now, looking back, the information described by Jalama’s hologram might be false.

Lu Heng had a flash of insight and then remembered something.

About half a year ago, the first time he saw the Star Realm Merchant in person was in the 013 Black Crow cultivation room.

At that time, before leaving, the Star Realm Merchant set a fire that burned the 013 Black Crow cultivation room to ashes.

Looking back now, the purpose behind burning down the cultivation room might not be so simple.

Realizing this, Lu Heng bid farewell to Anhe Plant Research Institute and went to Mitchell State in the White Eagle Federation to once again find the 013 Black Crow cultivation room, which was burned to ruins.

This cultivation room was built in the Uninhabited Zone, and after being burned by the flames, another half year of weathering has completely turned it into ruins.
