349: Super concentrated nutrient solution
Li He took the banana that Su Yu handed over with a bitter smile, but he had no desire to taste it.
With such a problem occurring during the exhibition of the super fruit tree, how could he be in the mood to eat a banana?
One must know that this was the Global Agricultural Exhibition, with representatives from hundreds of countries' agricultural scientists present, and countless more watching the live broadcast.
If Su Yu hadn't arrived in person, Li He would have wanted to die.
"Mr. Su, I'm sorry. I know this was a special exhibition opportunity you left for us, but we failed to seize it. Not only did we fail, but we also messed things up."
But he really had no other choice.
The super fruit tree was not only related to the international prestige of Huaxia Country but also a great research achievement in the agricultural science community!
Such a precious experimental result being ruined in his hands, Li He wouldn't forgive himself.
So he would rather put everything aside and seek Mr. Su's help.
At this moment, only Mr. Su, the true creator of the super fruit tree, might be able to find the reason for the sudden accident with the fruit tree.
"Mr. Su, I apologize, we really had no other option, otherwise we wouldn't have disturbed your rest, knowing you were busy."
Mr. Su waved his hand, promptly stopping Li He from saying anything further.
"It's fine, I was just watching the exhibition live anyway."
"Don't worry, the fruit tree should be fine. It has nothing to do with gene mutation or anything like that. I'll take another look and should be able to fix it."
Mr. Su's sudden appearance caused a brief silence among the audience.
After the silence, a burst of heated discussion erupted.
"Who, who is this guy? How did he get to the super fruit tree?"
"Is he wearing a mech suit? He seems to be able to fly?!"
"Look, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences experts from Huaxia Country seem to know him? Could it be that Huaxia Country hadn't made a move earlier because they were waiting for him to appear?"
"How did he pick a whole bunch of bananas from the tree?! Those are experimental products from the super fruit tree, he, he just ate them?!"
"Mr. Su, the mech suit... it's him!! It's that young Huaxia scientist who invented the super-yield watermelon seed!"
Someone recognized Mr. Su's identity.
Upon hearing that he was the inventor of the super-yield watermelon seed, everyone immediately became intensely curious and looked towards Mr. Su on the stage.
It was simply because the super-yield watermelon seed had appeared too many times today!
If it weren't for the appearance of the super fruit tree, perhaps the super-yield watermelon seed could truly have been awarded the best exhibit of this agricultural exhibition.
So, naturally, when the true inventor of the seed appeared, everyone was full of curiosity about him.
"He's so young, he's probably only in his twenties, right? Did he really invent the super-yield watermelon seed?"
"Absolutely true! If you don't believe it, you can search online for clips of his live broadcasts!"
"No wonder Huaxia Country's agricultural experts have been waiting for him. However, super-yield technology and co-existence on a single plant are two completely different aspects. Can he really solve the super fruit tree's problem?"
"I don't know either, let's just wait and see. Since this mysterious big shot has appeared, he must have some confidence."
Mr. Su ignored the crowd. He asked Li He to take the bananas and share them with the scientists from other countries nearby who had been preparing to help.
He himself then turned and flew back into the air.
The Lackey had already discovered the problem with the super fruit tree through scanning.
The soil was severely lacking in nutrients, and the high salt content in the air caused the fruit tree to rapidly dehydrate.
As long as these two problems were solved, the fruit tree would naturally return to normal.
Mr. Su looked at the root of the super fruit tree.
Although most of the soil under the fruit tree's roots was directly transported from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Huaxia Country, there was still a slight difference in the color of some of the soil.
Evidently, when the super fruit tree was transplanted onto the cruise ship, Li He, worried about a shortage of total soil, temporarily found some additional fertile soil.
This showed that Li He had put a lot of effort into transplanting the super fruit tree.
However, he still underestimated the super fruit tree's demand for nutrients.
After all, this was a co-existing fruit tree that combined one hundred types of fruit. One must know that even an ordinary single sapling requires sufficient nutrient supply to flower, bear fruit, and mature.
Previously, at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences base in Huaxia Country, the super fruit tree was rooted in the most fertile ground. Even after absorbing all the nutrients in the current soil, its terrifying roots could continue to draw from distant soil.
Therefore, there was no need to worry about insufficient nutrient supply for the fruit tree.
But now, this behemoth was transplanted onto an indoor cruise ship, with only a limited amount of nutrient soil carried below. It would be strange if there were no problems.
According to the Lackey's data simulation and calculation, the nutrient soil beneath the super fruit tree could only supply nutrients for half a day at most.
And five full days had passed since it was transplanted from Huaxia Country to the cruise ship.
The super fruit tree managing to hold on until now before showing signs of decay was already its last stand.
One must know, that was one hundred types of fruit!!
The nutrient requirements were an astronomical figure.
Moreover, the super fruit tree itself belonged to fruit-bearing trees, which have requirements for air humidity, temperature, oxygen content, and so on.
Although the environment on the cruise ship had been purified and was acceptable for humans, it was not for the fruit tree!
Coupled with the severe lack of nutrients, the signs of natural decay and wilting would naturally be faster and more severe than usual!
Once the problem was found, prescribing the right remedy made the solution much simpler.
Before boarding the cruise ship, Mr. Su had specifically prepared everything needed to solve the fruit tree's problem.
He couldn't get nutrient soil with enough nutrients now, so nutrient solution became the best temporary substitute.
To ensure that the nutrient ratio was consistent with the soil from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Mr. Su specially formulated an identical super-concentrated nutrient solution according to the nutrient soil ratio.
He was seen in mid-air, flying to the thickest part of the fruit tree's main trunk.
Then he extended his finger, and a white laser flashed, like the most precise surgical knife, directly piercing the tree trunk's hard exterior, leaving a small, fist-sized hole.
The small hole was about one meter deep, just reaching the center of the tree trunk.
Mr. Su inserted the super-concentrated nutrient solution, enough to provide a week's worth of nutrients, into it, then tore off a branch almost the same size as the hole and stuffed it in, ensuring the nutrient solution wouldn't fall out.
After doing all this, Mr. Su used his mech suit to create a transparent air filter cover, enveloping the entire super fruit tree.
Finally, landing on the ground, he threw the portable growth acceleration shed beneath the super fruit tree and began to accelerate its catalysis!
He needed to accelerate the fruit tree's growth, allowing it to quickly absorb the super-concentrated nutrient solution from the trunk.
