Chapter 3209: New Variety of Bloodline Transformation
Really Capella Agricultural Research Base?
A glimmer of understanding flashed across Xia Duo's eyes. When he had just visited those localized experimental blocks, he had indeed not noticed that there was a hidden space here. But when he entered this black stone building, he noticed a hint of abnormality in the space.

It was not until Philipfa publicly admitted it that he connected the spatial anomalies together and realized the subtlety of this so-called climate maze.

But now is not the time to study or sigh, Philippa is still waiting for him!

Then Xia Duo also walked out of the black stone building. The environment outside had indeed changed. Although the farmland looked the same as the one he had seen outside before, the size had not changed.

Other scenes near the small town of Capella can still be seen in the distance, but the crops planted on the fields are not the regular crops seen outside, but -

A crop that Xia Duo always felt was a little strange. Although it looked similar to regular crops in many ways, if Philippa hadn't brought him here specifically, he would have thought it was a regular crop the first time he saw it.

But where did that weird feeling come from?
Before Xia Duo could trace back his memory and study the subconscious source of his thinking, Philippa had already explained his confusion to him: "As you can see, Consultant Xia Duo, this is Yeerlan's most important investment in Elan, a research base for improving crops from the perspective of bloodline!"

"Bloodline domain?!"

Xia Duo suddenly felt the fog hovering above his head dissipate, and the strange feeling he just felt also had its source. Looking at the fields outside, he saw that the familiar crops nearby were growing seeds or fruits that far exceeded the specifications of conventional crops.

Compared with normal fruits, some fruits have not only changed in size, but even their color and shape have changed in a way that can be seen with just a little observation.

It was just that Xia Duo had not thought about the bloodline research at all just now, so he thought those crops were a little strange. Now when he heard Philipfa mention the bloodline field, he immediately reacted.

I didn’t expect that Ye Erlan was also researching the field of blood, and in the field of agriculture!
At this point, Xia Duo also thought about why Philipa had just said that he might be able to reach a new cooperation after the visit. In fact, Philipa wanted to cooperate with him because he was attracted by his relationship with Karinshan.

Just like when Kiran Gaota suddenly pulled him into the blood sequencing program, he was also attracted by his relationship with Karinshan.

In today's main plane, if you ask which country is the best in the field of bloodline, it is undoubtedly Calimshan. Of course, after the arrival of the golden dragon Prytatis, Netheril may also become a powerful country in the field of bloodline.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the Seventon Council can obtain enough knowledge, experience and skills from Plitatis.

……

After understanding Philippa's intention, Shado's expectations for this cooperation were immediately extinguished. At present, the Seventon Council cannot force Plitatis to hand over the blood technology that the other party possessed.

As for Karinshan, he did have some connections, but so what? As long as he didn't master the key skills, Yeerlan and Karinshan could kick him out at any time.

Of course, if cooperation can be achieved, it is better than nothing.

When Shato's enthusiasm cooled down a little, Philippa had already started his new round of introduction. He pointed to a wheat field with scaffolds and said:
"Counselor Xia Duo, please take a look. This is the multi-ear wheat developed by Agricultural Mage Yeerlan. The number of ears on a single plant is more than twice that of a regular plant, but its shortcomings are also obvious.

“This type of wheat plant consumes more soil energy and is also very fragile. It may die if there is even a little neglect during its growth.

"The most troublesome thing is that when the wheat ears grow to a certain size, a support must be set up for the plants, otherwise the wheat ears will hang down to the ground and will soon die.

"The yield in the current experimental stage is only comparable to that of conventional wheat varieties grown outside. If it is planted outside, the yield may be lower and the cost higher."

"I see!"

Xia Duo nodded silently. On the one hand, he affirmed Yeerlan's research results, and on the other hand, he lamented that research was not easy. The new variety of wheat plants could not support wheat ears, but they could make the wheat plants stronger. He had thought of it. Couldn't Yeerlan's agricultural wizard think of it?
It seems that this kind of research starting from the bloodline field cannot accurately control the growth trend of experimental samples. It is very likely that Ye Erlan's research is still in a state of gamble.

No wonder he wanted to borrow strength from Karinshan!

……

Then, Philippa took Chateau to visit several new varieties that had certain outstanding features compared to conventional varieties, but without exception, these new varieties had various defects.

Either the planting cost is high, or the yield is low, or the taste is too special for the elves to accept.

In short, low cost, high yield and good taste are like an impossible triangle that always troubles agricultural masters who study new crops through bloodline methods.

In addition, the uncontrollable nature of bloodline research is also a major problem in this regard. Although Philipa did not reveal how Yeerlan created new species through bloodline, he also showed Shado some completely failed works.

That is to say, the impossible triangle of low cost, high yield and good taste is reversed, and all elements are possessed. Many plants were originally common crops in the outside world, but after bloodline transformation, they become completely unrelated to food.

Compared with those varieties that have defects but also have their outstanding features, those new varieties that are complete failures and have no redeeming features at all account for the majority of research results in this area.

"Having said so much, I'm sure Consultant Xia Duo has guessed what I want to talk about cooperation. Yes, I just want to use Consultant Xia Duo's connections in Calinshan to obtain more advanced bloodline research support and achieve a win-win cooperation for all three parties."

Philippa told him his real purpose. Although Xia Duo's expectations for this cooperation were somewhat lowered, he did not refuse it. After thinking carefully for a moment, he also agreed with Philippa's proposal, but there was one thing he had to ask in advance:

"Can Lord Philippa really make the decision on the research of new crops through bloodline transformation?"

"I can't give a 100% commitment right now, but just like the cooperation with the demiplane ecological farm just now, even if I can't convince the Crown King and the Parliament to support it, I will personally try my best to work for this cooperation and find relevant resources."

Considering that such a statement might not satisfy Xia Duo, Philip added one more point, "Although this agricultural research base was established in the name of the Gaoshu Elders Council, the actual investor and even manager of this base is not the council, but a family I am familiar with. For this cooperation alone, I am sure that even if I cannot get the support of the Crown King and the Council, I can convince the family behind this base to cooperate with you. Consultant Xia Duo, please be very relaxed."

In fact, Philipa did not think that the Crown King and the Parliament opposed this cooperation. Yerlan had just built a large number of elemental towers, and it would take a long time before the real harvest. It would not be a bad thing to strengthen contact with Karinshan at this time.

Even with the additional factor of Xia Duo, did Yeerlan really not seek cooperation from Kalinshan on bloodline transformation of new crops? If Xia Duo could really make this happen, what would happen if he joined in?
This new technology must be based on a solid agricultural foundation. In this respect, Yerlan is far superior to Netheril. If Yerlan cannot compete under the same conditions with a foundation like this, then it might as well close the country. How can it have the face to stay in the alliance!

This is Philipfa’s greatest confidence!
