325: Oh no, I hope this neighborhood doesn't turn into a biohazard zone!

“So this is the super-yield seed that produces more than ordinary seeds? It doesn't look any different from other seeds.”

“Don't just look, if it looks the same, why not try it and find out?”

“Exactly, exactly! Brother Su has a growth acceleration shed now, so quickly ripening watermelons should be a piece of cake, right?”

“I seriously suspect Brother Su had this all planned out. He developed the growth acceleration shed first, so if he needs to conduct other experiments in the agricultural field later, the acceleration shed will come in handy!”

“China people are indeed cunning and sly!! Impressed, impressed!”

“Hey, that Indian brother upstairs, don't talk nonsense. If you can't use idioms, don't misuse them! What the Streamer is doing is called ‘preparing for a rainy day,’ what does it have to do with being cunning and sly?”

Su Yu glanced at the bullet screen, and though his eyes were tired, he couldn't help but find it both funny and frustrating.

Indeed, global streaming and domestic streaming were quite different. Viewers from different countries were exposed to vastly different cultures. Interacting and communicating in the livestream now brought even more interesting memes.

He wrapped the super-yield watermelon seed from the tweezers in a clean tissue and put it in his pocket.

That's right.

Looking at the final appearance of the seed, he also thought it seemed no different from an ordinary seed.

Whether it could increase yield according to his initial idea still required experimentation to know the result.

Thinking of this, he went to the experimental table, refilled the portable growth acceleration shed with the unused super-speed soil, and then carried the small black box to his small yard.

His yard had a small garden enclosed by stone bricks.

However, Su Yu usually had no time to tend to the ornamental plants in the garden, so he let them grow freely. Some were lush, while others had withered due to lack of nutrition, becoming faded flowers and fallen leaves.

Su Yu found an empty spot and squatted down.

This spot was originally where the previous landlord had planted a persimmon tree. However, because Su Yu never tended to it, the persimmon tree withered and died while still a sapling.

The small plot of land, less than a square meter, was now empty and perfect for today's experiment.

Seeing Su Yu about to start the experiment, the viewers in the livestream all perked up, their eyes wide with anticipation.

Everyone had already endured twelve hours of waiting.

Before this, everyone only knew that streaming was hard work; no one expected watching a livestream to be such hard work too.

At this moment, the number of online viewers, which had previously dropped to less than 100 million, began to gradually rise again. Those viewers who couldn't hold on any longer were woken up by their alarms and, with red eyes, clicked on the livestream.

There was only a little bit of livestream time left today; once missed, no one knew when the Streamer would broadcast again.

A livestream lasting more than twelve hours, even a workaholic couldn't stream like that every day.

Su Yu watched the rapidly recovering number of online viewers and simply waited patiently for a while longer. Only when the rate of increase in viewers slowed down did he finally begin the last experiment.

He placed the small black box in the not-so-spacious, neat patch of soil.

The growth acceleration shed began to set up automatically.

Meanwhile, Su Yu took out a pre-prepared small shovel and dug a small hole in the ground, dropping the seed into it.

As soon as the growth acceleration shed was set up, he also covered the seed entirely with the super-speed soil.

Next, everything would be left to time for verification.

To be honest, Su Yu wasn't nervous. Although he couldn't judge whether the seed research was successful or the genetic technology was perfect through system tasks, he felt that there was a high probability there would be no problems.

The tense atmosphere didn't last long; just ten seconds later, green sprouts made everyone's eyes light up!

Growth had begun!

The tender green sprouts began to grow robustly, lengthening by an inch in the blink of an eye!

In another blink, new leaves sprouted from the vines!

watermelon naturally belongs to the gourd family, a perennial creeping vine plant.

Like winter melon, pumpkin, and cucumber, its growth relies on vine extension, not vertical growth to become a tree sapling.

Therefore, generally speaking, watermelon cultivation actually has specific requirements for the site.

The wider the place, the more suitable it is for planting watermelons.

Moreover, the construction of the vines also has a specific method. In the eyes of professional watermelon growers, it is necessary to set up a trellis for the watermelon vines in advance to facilitate guiding their growth trajectory, allowing them to grow towards the pre-prepared areas.

But Su Yu, for convenience and to save trouble, did not carry out these preliminary preparations.

It was just an experiment, and the viewers in the livestream were also getting impatient. He just wanted to quickly finish the test. As long as he could roughly see that the watermelon's yield exceeded ordinary levels, that would be enough.

However, what Su Yu didn't expect was that the improved super-yield seed, under the ripening of the growth acceleration shed, began to rapidly branch out and spread its leaves. The vines even seemed to have their own ideas and plans, spreading and climbing in all directions.

In less than a minute, the watermelon vines had completely covered the corner of the wall, and some vines were even continuing to climb out of the yard.

The growth speed was astonishingly fast!

Su Yu's pupils contracted. For some reason, he had a vague premonition of something bad.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the watermelon vines climbing vertically up the wall, involuntarily taking a sharp breath.

Goodness, these genetically modified watermelon vines were really different! Normally, even the thickest part of a watermelon vine would at most be the thickness of a finger.

But now, in just one minute, Su Yu found that the thickest part of the watermelon vine had already exceeded the thickness of a wrist!

Moreover, it was still growing wildly at a visible speed.

Su Yu suppressed his unease and comforted himself. This should just be the early stage of the vine's growth, so its development speed was very fast.

Once the vines started to flower and bear fruit, the nutrient supply to the fruit should slow down the growth rate.

However, twenty minutes passed just like that.

When Su Yu stood among the dense watermelon vines, he was completely disoriented.

Looking around, the originally empty yard was now completely covered by watermelon vines! There wasn't even a single clear spot to step!

This was just inside the yard.

Su Yu still didn't know what the situation was like outside the yard.

But even so, the watermelon vines, under the ripening of the super-speed soil, still showed no signs of flowering!

No flowering meant that the vines were not yet ready to bear fruit. If they couldn't bear fruit, the experiment of the super-yield seed would not have a final count.

Su Yu was in a bit of a predicament for a moment.

What to do? He had promised to give an explanation to the global audience, but now he didn't know if the experiment should continue.

He worried that if it continued, it might turn the neighborhood into a biochemical crisis.
