An hour later, Renault saw the results of Alex''s cultivation.


    "Under the crown, you can see that after 10 rounds of breeding, the height of the wheat plant has increased by nearly 20%, and the grain size has also increased a lot, but the number of grains on the wheat ear has slightly decreased. We have specially compared that, the yield of wheat per plant has increased by about 80%."


    While talking, Alex handed a handful of wheat to Renault.


    "In addition, the area occupied by the magic transformation wheat is larger than before, about 30% more than before. Therefore, in general, the yield is only increased by 40%..."


    Renault picked up two grains of wheat and observed them carefully.


    The original wheat grain is roughly the same size as the soybean on the earth, but after the transformation, it appears fuller and rounder, and its volume is more than doubled.


    Renault pondered for a moment and asked a question:


    "Alex, if you take this modified wheat seed and plant it for farmers, will the mature wheat grain be so big?"


    This is the most critical problem. If the genetic characters of modified wheat can not be preserved in the natural state, it will be meaningless to use extraordinary force to promote.


    "According to my experience, without the help of extraordinary power, the grain of wheat would only be a little bigger than that of ordinary wheat. It can''t be that big." Alex shook his head.


    Renault laughed with satisfaction.


    This shows that some genetic traits can be retained, which also means that this breeding method is effective!


    Before we master the gene editing technology, that is, the so-called transgenic technology, all breeding methods are actually the process of manual selection.


    The excellent individuals will be picked out, and the unqualified individuals will be eliminated. Through generations of artificial intervention, plants will evolve in the direction of human selection.


    To a certain extent, the extraordinary power of the way of birth, greatly accelerated the breeding process.


    According to the traditional way, wheat can be harvested twice a year at most. In high altitude areas, due to the lack of light, it can only be harvested once a year, and it takes at least 10 years to breed 20 generations.


    But with the help of Alex, it took only an hour to breed the same number of times, which is rocket like speed.


    In addition, Renault highly suspects that supernatural power can induce gene mutation. In other words, when using supernatural power to cultivate crops, the probability of offspring mutation will be greatly increased.


    Although the vast majority of mutations are "bad" mutations, which are relatively weak in adaptability to nature, or useless to human beings, the rest of the mutant offspring are enough to obtain some surprising discoveries.


    Such as cold tolerance, cold tolerance, carrying diseases and insect pests and so on a series of traits that play a great role in agricultural production.


    Renault returned the wheat to Alex, and suddenly Su Rong asked:


    "Alex, are you willing to play for me? I plan to set up a professional agricultural research institute in haichaoling, which is very important to me. I hope you can take charge of it. "


    Alex immediately hesitated.


    To be fair, he doesn''t want to work for Renault. After all, in the case of the outbreak of an all-round war between human beings and the black orcs, even if he is an extraordinary person, he has no confidence to protect himself. If he can rely on a powerful upanist, it will undoubtedly greatly improve his chances of survival.


    But the problem is that the demands of the crown really make him feel a little humiliated. The name of "Agricultural Research Institute" sounds good, but it''s plain. Isn''t it just doing farm work all day long? What''s the difference between this and the mean mud leg?


    In addition, from a high Duke to the head of the Knights'' order, he suddenly became a farmer. This abrupt change was really hard for him to accept.


    Renault said a long string of heartwarming conditions.


    "Alex, if you are the director of the Agricultural Research Institute, with your annual salary and various subsidies, your annual income will exceed 800 jinnals. If the Institute can cultivate excellent seeds, you will also get a one-time rich bonus, at least 100 jinnals."


    "In addition, in view of your extraordinary status, I will give you a special subsidy of at least two magic stones every year."


    Alex is on the move.


    As the head of the knight order, the Duke of Byron paid him only 500 jinnals.


    This is a good winner. He has 800 gold coins, and his salary has been raised by 60%. This kind of big money makes people look down on him.


    What makes him more excited is two magic crystals.


    This is an absolutely good thing. Even if the quality is a little poor, the value of one is more than 500 jinnals, and two is more than the annual salary.


    Renault is so rich!


    At this time, mousse added a meaningful sentence:


    "Mr. Alex, I think you can see that the ambition under the crown is very great..."


    Alex suddenly woke up.


    The power of this crown is unimaginable. He has a sea tide chamber of Commerce, which has made great progress. His wealth is far more than that of a king. He also has a powerful army and a large number of powerful weapons.So, why should such a great man establish this inexplicable "Agricultural Research Institute"? And the crown also specially stressed that "it is very important.".


    A "ambitious" under the crown, do so must have his deep meaning, I don''t understand, it doesn''t matter, but as soon as possible to hold each other''s thigh, absolutely can''t be wrong.


    At this point, Alex bowed to him:


    "it''s the honor of my life to serve you. Your will is my will!"


    As for Alex''s former employer, Duke Byron, at this moment, both sides tacitly agreed not to mention him, nor need to mention him.


    The Duke is now almost a vassal of Renault. In order to strengthen the relationship with Renault, he even sent out his granddaughter. What is the head of his own Knight''s order? As long as Renault says hello, the Duke will send Alex to us.


    It''s a rainy night.


    Nassau wetland, crocodile tooth fortress.


    The continuous rain in the rainy season makes the area of the wetland soar, and the military fortress originally built 2 kilometers away from the wetland becomes a fortress close to the wetland. In some low-lying areas, the river has even touched the city wall.


    In the eyes of the soldiers stationed at the crocodile tooth fortress, this is the safest time for the fortress. Although the width of this section of wetland is only 7 km, which is the narrowest section of Nassau wetland, no one believes that the black orcs can cross it.


    Because of the extremely bad weather, the soldiers who are in charge of patrol at night are honestly trapped in the watchtower. No one is willing to go out of the watchtower and patrol on the city wall, because it means they will be drowned.


    Jenkins curled up, shivering in the corner of the tower, and muttered a curse.


    The rain was too heavy and the area of the tower was too small. Unfortunately, Jenkins was squeezed out. The splashing rain completely wet his shoes, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.


    At this moment, he missed the warm bed.


    "Bang..."


    There was a strange dull noise outside the city wall. It seemed that something had hit the city wall. It was mixed with the sound of heavy rain, which was not obvious. But Jenkins noticed it with his sharper hearing than ordinary people.


    He can''t help but turn his head and look out at the tower. Although the fire in the brazier is very bright, the heavy rain curtain only allows him to see the scenery more than ten meters away. Farther away, it is a blur, just like the memory of a long time.


    Jenkins hesitated to walk out of the city wall in the heavy rain and looked down. But when he saw that his companions were all lying in the corner like corpses, even the team leader was no exception, he gave up the idea.


    Forget it


    Anyway, the rain is so heavy that black bastards can''t get by


    He thought to himself, and closed his eyes, intending to squint. Simultaneous interpreting


    ''s shadow in the water outside the city walls, the dense shadows are tightly sticking to the walls. The number of them is no less than 1000. They quietly hide under the water, like the legendary fierce water ghosts.
