Chapter 439 Mass Planting
When Mengke landed with Xiaohong, Dabai arrived almost at the same time.
Meng Ke raised an eyebrow, she didn't expect that the speed of her own mutant mushrooms would be so fast.
Dabai followed Xiaohong behind Mengke. Mengke followed the prompts of the ecological park system to find the location where ginseng was planted before, but unfortunately, there was nothing there.
Meng didn't give up. He searched all the seedlings around and finally found a living one in the corner!
Meng Ke was ecstatic and squatted on the ground, watching in fascination.
Great! It worked! Plus, with the little green one turning into a spirit just like the mutant mushroom, Meng Ke wants to scream to the heavens, hahahaha! She's a lucky kid too!
After squatting beside the ginseng seedling and laughing for a long time, Meng Ke came back to her senses and wanted to see the growth history of this ginseng seedling. For this, she had to check the planting records of the ecological park.
Then she discovered something surprising. This ginseng seedling was not grown by herself, but was grown from the ginseng seed she gave to Dabai to play with.
Meng Ke had a guess. Since the big white ginseng seeds survived, there was no reason why the small red ones wouldn't work.
Sure enough, after reading the planting records, Meng Ke sighed and said, people are not as good as mushrooms!
The ginseng seeds planted by Xiaohong became a spirit, which is now Xiaolu who can run and jump. Xiaohong probably thinks that the seedlings she planted are her own cubs, so she takes good care of Xiaolu and even gives him a name.
But Xiaohong and Dabai helped her plant ginseng seedlings, but none of them survived.
Therefore, children must be cultivated from the seeds.
Thinking of this, Meng Ke handed all the ginseng seeds in the optical brain folding warehouse to Xiao Hong: "Take these and play with them. If you don't have enough, tell me."
Xiaohong waved his mycelium hands and said that having too many cubs would waste energy stones, so he didn't want to raise them anymore.
Meng Ke didn't know what Xiaohong was thinking, so he tried to persuade her in a gentle manner. Finally, after Meng Ke promised her a huge profit, Xiaohong reluctantly agreed.
He is not greedy for the energy stone, he just thinks his sister is right. Xiaolu looks different from their mushroom family. In order to give Xiaolu a sense of security, he has to have more friends.
Alas! Xiaohong sighed. As the head of the clan, he had to bear too much!
Xiaohong distributed the seeds in the mycelium net bag to the younger brothers who came over later, one mushroom at a time. She gestured to them and asked them to find a place to plant them themselves.
Meng Ke originally wanted to stop them, as she was worried that only Xiaohong and Dabai could grow the ginseng seeds. But then she thought, it would be a good opportunity to do an experiment. After all, she could contact Gulan Star to have the ginseng seeds sent over.
Thinking of the ancient blue star, Meng Ke couldn't help but sigh. Because of the contract signed between the alliance and the United Nations of the ancient blue star, any high-tech must go through layers of review before it can be transported in. This time, she finally sent in ten embryo egg chambers in the name of transporting thousand-year-old antiques, but she didn't expect her fellow villager to be so honest and returned them all to her.
All right! She should have guessed the serious style of the Flower Planting Family. They treated their enemies with such ruthlessness that they could not wait to bite off a piece of flesh, but they were absolutely the most reliable when it came to their allies. It was a good thing that she was classified as one of their own by her fellow villagers.
Meng Ke didn't worry about it. She wanted to provide convenience to her fellow flower growers, as there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Thinking of this, she contacted Lu Jianjun again: "General Lu, I still need some ginseng seeds. Can you help me send them over?"
The experiment can be said to have been successful. Meng Ke did not mention that the cost would be borne by herself, because at this time, she would repay any efforts made by the Flower-Growing Country with interstellar ginseng. She believed that this was what the Flower-Growing Country really needed now.
Lu Jianjun was always decisive in his work, so he didn't waste any time talking. He just asked, "How much do you want?"
Meng Ke chuckled, rolled her eyes, and joked, "The more the better!"
Lu Jianjun frowned in the command room of Gulan Star. He knew that interstellar planting was done on an interstellar basis. Unlike Gulan Star, each country had a piece of land, but the more the better. He really couldn't be sure. After all, with the strength of the flower-growing family, the number of ginseng seeds that could be harvested was not a small number.
Meng Ke waited for a while and when he saw that the other party didn't say anything, he sent a question mark.
Could it be that I asked for too much and caused people to dislike me?
Before Meng Ke could think about it, the other party quickly replied: "Please wait, we are calculating the quantity we can provide for you. If you need it urgently, we can provide one ton first."
Meng Ke's eyes lit up. A ton of ginseng seeds, that's a lot.
She immediately replied, "Okay! Send this ton over first, and continue collecting the rest. But don't disrupt your existing planting balance."
Meng wants to plant more ginseng, but that doesn't mean he has to clean out his hometown.
Lu Jianjun certainly knew that one ton of ginseng seeds was only transferred from a large base in the country. Not to mention that there were seeds in other bases, just this large base would produce seeds in the fields one after another, which would not reach the point of destroying the planting balance.
At this time, the old general came over, saw the chat log, and patted Lu Jianjun on the shoulder: "Ask if there is any progress on the interstellar ginseng cultivation."
Lu Jianjun quickly organized the words and sent them over, and Meng Ke gave a positive reply.
The old general was filled with excitement. "The old guys at the Research Institute have imagined that if ginseng could be grown in interstellar space, its longevity-promoting effects would surely see a qualitative breakthrough. By then, average life expectancy would increase, and our plan to connect with interstellar space would take a major step forward."
Only a small number of people who stayed on the ancient blue planet were homesick and unwilling to leave. Most people were limited by their physical fitness and were frightened by the harsh interstellar environment. In fact, as long as they thought about the next generation and the next generation being able to be reborn in the cruel environment of the interstellar, their lifespan could be increased from two hundred years on the ancient blue planet to five hundred years, or even one thousand years. Why would they be reluctant to leave?
Everything is for future generations, everything for future generations. Even if some people are trapped on the ancient blue planet for generations due to their physical fitness, he hopes that their lifespan can be longer and longer. Perhaps after years of hard training, they will eventually be able to walk out of the interstellar space.
"Arrange it! Hurry up and get someone to arrange it. Find a few more bases and send the seeds over as soon as possible."
The old general couldn't wait a moment, so he turned around and went out to make arrangements personally.
Meng Ke didn't expect that the things sent from Gulan Star would be transmitted so quickly. Almost as soon as she finished talking to Yun He, she received news from Alliance Star No. 2 that there was a package from Gulan Star.
Things sent from Alliance II require queuing for inspection, which is too inefficient. Meng Ke directly arranged two guards to retrieve them.
After dinner, Ouyang Kong was taking a walk with his wife when the package arrived.
"I'm going to arrange something."
Ouyang Kong looked at the hand that was pushed away, squinted his eyes and thought deeply. This was the first time he was pushed away while strolling leisurely. He wanted to know what was more important than their walk as a couple.
After following Meng Ke into the ecological park and seeing the hidden figure behind the mushrooms, Ouyang Kong was stunned. He remembered that there were no such little creatures in the ecological park before?
Meng Ke sensed something was wrong with the man next to her and explained, "His name is Xiaolu. He was conceived by Xiaohong and was named by Xiaohong."
Ouyang Kong narrowed his eyes, feeling that the small figure was not simple. He was even more shocked when he scanned it with his optical brain.
"He's ginseng?!"
The optical computer clearly showed that ginseng had never been successfully grown in the interstellar space, but the ginseng plants not far away could obviously run and jump, and their intelligence was not low. If he said that there was no mutation, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
Meng Ke instructed the robot to open the package and replied to Ouyang Kong, "Yes! Little Green is ginseng. I planted it in the ecological park before, but it didn't survive. Little Red and Big White both survived."
Ouyang Kong couldn't believe it. "That is to say, we humans tried every possible way to grow ginseng but failed. But these two mutant mushrooms managed to make it grow."
Meng Ke nodded: "Strictly speaking, it's about living in the interstellar space. Ancient Blue Star doesn't have such a technical barrier."
Ouyang Kong looked at the little green-eyed creature hiding beside the legs of a mutant mushroom, his eyes darkening as he asked, "Can I cut off a few slices of tissue for research?"
Xiaohong is bargaining with Mengke. Shouldn't she give him some benefits if she increases his workload?
When he heard this, he exploded. What did that mean?! He wanted to cut his son, but he couldn’t even think about it!
The mycelium hand went straight for the bad guy's face, but was stopped by a mental barrier.
Meng Ke patted her chest. Fortunately, she took precautions as soon as she heard this. Otherwise, if she really offended Ouyang Kong, she couldn't guarantee that Xiaohong would still be intact tomorrow.
Ouyang Kong wasn't hit, but he narrowed his eyes dangerously, his thin lips curled slightly, and the words he said made Mushroom tremble: "Do you want to die?"
Perhaps it was because Ouyang Kong's aura was too strong, or perhaps it was because his mental pressure was too heavy, Xiaohong leaned against Meng Ke's feet in fear.
Meng Ke knew that it was wrong for Xiaohong to hit others, but in the final analysis, wasn't it Ouyang Kong who wanted to touch someone else's child?
So she tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright! Xiaohong is just concerned about her own child, and her intentions are good. Kongkong, don't be angry!"
Meng Ke gently raised her foot and kicked Xiaohong aside, then quickly stood up and came to coax her husband.
Perhaps Ouyang Kong was satisfied with Meng Ke's preference. He withdrew his gaze from Xiao Hong and turned to discuss the terms with Meng Ke: "I was frightened. How is my wife going to compensate me?"
Meng Ke rolled her eyes inwardly. She was well aware of this man's routine. Every time he asked for compensation, he was thinking about that kind of thing. If she didn't agree, he would always find a way to trick her into agreeing.
The result was the same anyway, so Meng Ke didn't struggle. She gave him a look that said you understand and nodded.
Ouyang Kong's smile widened instantly. He hugged the person and was about to kiss her, but was pushed away by Meng Ke.
"I need to talk to Xiaohong about planting all these ginseng seeds."
Ouyang Kong didn't just think about that matter. He was more thorough than Meng Ke in his seriousness.
"Let's expand the space and set aside a piece of land specifically for growing ginseng."
Meng Ke nodded: "That makes sense! I have quite a lot of seeds this time. I planted them all in the pear tree field. It will be inconvenient for Xiaohong and the others to play."
After negotiation and giving Xiaohong a large sum of energy stones as payment, Meng Ke pulled Ouyang Kong aside and pointed to the ginseng seedlings on the ground. She said, "If you want to find someone to do research, you can take some from here. This one was planted by Dabai. It's not mutated and has no intelligence. Xiaohong and Dabai don't care. As long as you don't harm the ginseng's life, taking some leaves and rhizomes should be fine."
A dark light flashed in Ouyang Kong's eyes.
"If I say I want to take this whole plant away for research, will my wife agree?"
Meng Ke waved her hand and said, "Why wouldn't I be reluctant? If Xiao Hong and the others can grow one, they can grow countless. If you want this one, just take it. Wait, I'll dig it up for you right now."
Ouyang Kong heard the answer he wanted, and his heart was filled with joy. He reached out and hugged her in his arms: "It's good that my wife has this intention. There's no rush for research. Let's wait until Xiaohong and the others plant more."
