NOVEL NEXT Chapter 368: 288, I'm getting promoted
In fact.
Just as Qin Deguang thought, Yang Fan never does anything meaningless.
Whether it's reviving mammoths or the Ancient Revival Plan, there is one most clear purpose—to deepen the mastery over the "Past" star formation.
When the fossil head of the mammoth grew flesh and blood and let out a howl.
He clearly sensed that his mastery over the "Past" star formation had increased somewhat.
Along with it came a series of benefits.
For instance, the life force borrowed from the past increased, as did the superpower borrowed from the past.
In short, his strength improved once again.
It was precisely through discovering a path to deeply master the "Past" star formation, that the "Ancient Revival" plan was born.
Yang Fan planned to completely master this star formation by reviving even more ancient Canglan Star creatures again and again.
At this moment.
Linjiang City, Celestial Star Agricultural Company.
Inside Farm No. 484.
Yang Fan himself, leisurely with hands behind his back, was inspecting this newly built farm.
Since he joined Celestial Star Company and cultivated several high-quality rice varieties for the company, it received strong support from the Agriculture Department, and its scale began to rapidly expand.
The number of indoor farms owned by the company skyrocketed from less than thirty to nearly five hundred.
Originally, Celestial Star Agriculture was just a small new agricultural enterprise, an underdog in Linjiang City.
Now, across the whole Hedong Province, Celestial Star Agriculture can be considered one of the top ten large-scale new agricultural companies.
Yang Fan walked through the farm, looking at the neat rows of rice seedlings, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."
This indoor farm is planted with a rice variety called Celestial Star Six.
Their rice leaves have a distinct pale white hue, different from the green leaves of other rice varieties.
In addition, the rice leaves are dotted with many dark green spots.
His female secretary, Ling Shuiling, followed behind, glancing at her boss occasionally and looking at the rice from time to time.
The farm director, Zhang Junfa, enthusiastically introduced: "Minister Yang, the traits exhibited by Celestial Star Six are truly astonishing.
"Prior to the Superpower Era, the ideal environmental temperature for ordinary rice varied at different growth stages.
"For instance, during the seedling stage, the optimal temperature for ordinary rice is between 28 to 32 degrees.
"The Celestial Star One, which you first cultivated, is currently the variety with the largest planting area in our company.
"Although this variety can withstand low temperatures as low as minus 25 degrees, the ideal growth temperature during the seedling stage is still around 15 degrees.
"But the seedlings of Celestial Star Six can grow normally even in around 5 degrees.
"The optimal flowering temperature for ordinary rice is around 30 degrees, for Celestial Star One it's around 20 degrees.
"Celestial Star Six can flower at just around 5 degrees.
"This cold resistance ability left everyone with a very deep impression."
Director Zhang went on at length, full of praise for Celestial Star Six.
Director Zhang suddenly changed his tone: "Celestial Star Six has only one downside, which is its relatively slow growth rate and low yield.
"If the ambient temperature is around 5 degrees, the growth speed is about half that of ordinary rice, and the yield is only 40% of ordinary rice.
"If the temperature drops to zero, the growth speed will correspondingly decrease to a little over a third, and the yield will further decrease to 30%.
"However, compared to the super strong cold resistance ability, this small shortcoming is not worth mentioning.
"The indoor temperature of this farm is maintained at 5 degrees, with energy consumption only one twentieth of planting ordinary rice.
"We believe that consuming one twentieth of the energy to obtain a rice variety that grows at half the speed and yields only 40% is still a very worthwhile trade."
"Because the same amount of energy can support indoor farms planting Celestial Star One, their total yield is five times that of a farm planting ordinary rice!"
The female secretary listened to the talk, occasionally glancing at her boss.
Although she had witnessed the cultivation process throughout and knew the data of Celestial Star Six by heart, her beautiful eyes still showed admiration.
Director Zhang hadn't finished: "The most notable advantage of Celestial Star Six is its rare antifreeze ability.
"Although Celestial Star One is also excellent in this regard, Celestial Star Six far surpasses Celestial Star One.
"We conducted an experiment by placing Celestial Star Six seedlings outdoors at minus thirty degrees, continuously pouring water over the plants, forming a layer of ice on the seedling surfaces.
"After the frozen state lasted for twenty-four hours, the seedlings were transferred indoors, causing the ice layer to quickly melt.
"The seedlings didn't die; they just appeared somewhat wilted but fully recovered in three or four days.
"Celestial Star One seedlings cannot endure freezing, otherwise they would quickly perish.
"This antifreeze ability is highly practical. If an accident occurs in an indoor farm, such as air conditioning failure or malicious damage.
"Under such circumstances, the indoor temperature of the farm will plummet, and the seedlings soaked in water are bound to freeze for several hours or even longer.
"Once the malfunction is fixed and the indoor temperature rises again, the seedlings will survive after thawing, without needing to be replanted."
The example given by Director Zhang was not merely conjecture but a situation that had truly occurred.
