367: Emerald green and golden yellow
What?
Brook actually gave the seeds to that China scientist?
Seeing this scene, the hearts of the researchers instantly sank to the bottom.
Their purpose in coming to the Sea of Death Desert before was to test the actual effect of forest one. So, they had actually conducted experiments earlier.
The results were as everyone imagined.
The seeds ultimately failed to withstand that peculiar toxin and did not survive.
Therefore, Brook handing these seeds over to the other party now, wasn't this clearly giving up entirely?
They didn't understand, but at this moment, they didn't dare to speak rashly.
Su Yu, who received the seeds, narrowed his eyes and carefully examined them on the surface, but in reality, as soon as the seeds were in his hand, he had his Lackey secretly scan and analyze them.
Soon, the Lackey's report came from his mind.
"Master, this batch of seeds does indeed have a certain ability to solve land desertification, as USA claimed. However, based on statistical data, the actual survival rate is estimated to be at most 50%, not the 70% they claimed!"
"Moreover, the seeds' ability to resist harsh growing environments has also been exaggerated. The seeds can actually only grow in a range of 0 to 60 degrees. Beyond that temperature threshold, the seeds will die."
Su Yu nodded.
This was largely consistent with his guess, but USA's actual scientific research level was even more underwhelming than expected.
He had thought that the seeds' survival rate could really reach 70%, but it turned out to be less than 50%.
Evidently, this was because Director John was eager to announce the news of the seeds and seize the global market, which led to the survival rate not meeting the standard.
What a scam!
A 50% survival rate.
If those countries that had already signed orders with USA knew about this, they would probably be so angry they'd spit blood on the spot.
Calculated this way, the cost of one forest one seed had already reached two hundred dollars per seed.
Indeed, whoever buys it is a big fool!
The Lackey continued to analyze and research the specific situation of forest one, while on the other side, Su Yu no longer waited and finally began the highlight of this live broadcast.
On-site experiment!
In order to ensure that the final result would silence everyone, Su Yu made sure the camera was always focused on him after he received the forest one seeds, ensuring everyone could see that he did not tamper with them after taking possession.
The seeds were exactly as they were.
This was to prevent any malicious individuals from shifting the blame onto him if the forest one seeds ultimately failed to survive.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the final result would be convincing to everyone.
"It's finally starting. USA boasted about forest one being so miraculous before. Today, I'm going to see if these seeds are truly as extraordinary as they claim."
"Exactly! One hundred dollars a seed, that price is simply terrifyingly expensive. Isn't this clearly taking advantage of having a unique technology? If it weren't for the Streamer stepping up this time, they might have really gotten away with it."
"True, but I'm more curious about how the Streamer's desert rice seed will perform when planted in a real desert. After all, before it was only in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences' experimental field. Neither the environment nor everything around it can compare to a real desert."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, next is the time to witness a miracle. We just need to watch."
In the live broadcast room, the audience became increasingly expectant.
On-site testing and experimental field demonstrations have fundamental differences.
Don't look at Su Yu and Brook being fine in the desert now, but the actual ground temperature at this time has already exceeded seventy degrees under the scorching sun.
They were only so calm because they were staying inside the temporarily built shelter.
Pushing the door open, the scorching sun shone down from overhead.
An invisible air umbrella opened above Su Yu's head, helping him to resist the strong ultraviolet rays.
This little gadget was an air umbrella that Su Yu had created before he became famous. After modification, it was transplanted onto the mecha.
Thinking of this being his past masterpiece, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Soon, he carried the seeds and found a relatively flat area. Beside him, Brook, fully armed and holding an umbrella, followed him almost inseparably.
He wanted to personally witness Su Yu complete this on-site test today, otherwise, he wouldn't be at ease.
Su Yu threw a shovel to Brook, "Alright, don't just watch me work alone, start digging!"
Brook took the shovel and almost let out a strange cry from the heat.
This cursed place, not only could nothing grow, but it was also incredibly hot! If it weren't for completing this mission, he would have applied to return to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences long ago.
The two began to dig pits under the blazing sun.
Every shovel of yellow sand dug up brought with it rolling heat waves.
They dug until sweat poured down their bodies, and Brook almost suffered from heatstroke, before they finally dug out the pits.
Looking around, two sand pits of similar size and depth, each about five square meters, had been dug up.
Su Yu evenly scattered thirty desert rice seeds, then turned the sand over and buried them.
The forest one seeds were treated the same way.
Watching Su Yu scatter all the forest one seeds, to be honest, Brook felt a strange sense of unease.
The forest one seeds were said to be able to control one square meter of desert per seed, yet for only four or five square meters, Su Yu scattered all the seeds.
He didn't know if it was intentional or unintentional.
Brook stood silently by the side.
He knew that no matter how many seeds were sown today, it would be impossible for any plant to grow.
Su Yu's seemingly flashy actions were actually futile.
After burying all the seeds, Su Yu took out a growth acceleration shed and placed it over them. The enlarged version of the acceleration shed perfectly covered both areas simultaneously.
"Alright, now we just have to wait."
"If the seeds are fine, we'll see the final result in one or two minutes."
Su Yu said, brushing the sand off his hands.
Brook didn't even lift an eyelid at his words.
A joke!
If these seeds could grow today, he would eat the tree!
However, he only dared to complain about this in his mind, after all, outsiders didn't know the truth about the Sea of Death Desert.
But very quickly, Brook's originally calm expression changed.
Because he discovered with horror that in the place where Su Yu had planted the desert rice seed, green sprouts were stubbornly growing out of the yellow sand.
The vibrant green and golden yellow, two distinctly different colors, intertwined and magnified before his eyes.
In just the blink of an eye, the rice seedlings actually grew in the sand?!
On the other hand, the forest one side was just as expected, with no movement whatsoever.
