212: Chapter 211 Thirty Times the Growth Rate
[Wilderness Survival Announcement]
[Huaguo Player Lu Fan triggered a ten million times rebate]
[Crop ecological cylinder * 10,000,000]
Below, the functions of the ecological cylinder were also attached.
Subsequently, ten million ecological cylinders appeared in the storage area of the Capital Square.
livestream room.
"Holy crap, thirty times the growth speed, and it's solar-powered!? That's awesome."
"What kind of technology is this? It's a bit beyond the scope of reality."
"Hey, does this mean we're about to have an endless supply of food?"
"Awesome, is the socialist society about to be realized?"
After the ecological cylinders appeared, they began to operate rapidly, like awakened ancient behemoths.
As the scorching sunlight shone unreservedly onto the ecological cylinder, the originally bright interior unexpectedly turned dim, as if pulled into a mysterious alternate dimension by an invisible giant hand.
Just as Lu Fan and An Lan were filled with confusion and looking at each other, a strange and enchanting purple light suddenly lit up at the top of the ecological cylinder. The light was like a purple mist, gently sprinkling over every seedling.
"This... what's going on?" Lu Fan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
An Lan was also surprised, her eyes fixed on the ecological cylinder as she murmured, "There's definitely something fishy about this light. Maybe it's simulating the special lighting conditions needed for plant growth."
The two didn't dare to be lax at all, quickly squatting down and observing without blinking.
They saw that the originally somewhat tender seedlings seemed to be injected with a magical power, instantly becoming full of vigor.
Although they didn't sprout and grow with a "whoosh" like a rocket launch as they had initially imagined, the continuous growth was clearly visible.
The leaves of the seedlings trembled slightly, unfolding at a speed discernible to the naked eye. The light green color became increasingly bright, as if telling a story of life's vitality and tenacity.
While observing, An Lan's mind worked quickly as she performed a professional analysis: "Based on this growth rate, the chili pepper seedlings should reach maturity in about two days, and the Taro will be ready in seven or eight days.
This speed is a full thirty times faster than normal growth. It's simply heaven-defying!"
Lu Fan, full of excitement, couldn't help but jump up: "Haha, we've finally gained a firm foothold in this jungle! In the future, whatever vegetables we want to eat, we can just plant them and they'll be on the table in a few days. This life is even more pleasant than an immortal's!"
Da Hei was also infected by the lively atmosphere, running around happily nearby and occasionally leaning in to the ecological cylinder to take a curious sniff, as if he also wanted to figure out what this magical thing was all about.
"No, I need to take a closer look."
As Lu Fan spoke, he cautiously stood up and slowly approached the ecological cylinder, carefully observing every minute change inside through the transparent walls.
He discovered that under the illumination of the purple light, the air inside the ecological cylinder seemed to become active.
It was as if countless tiny spirits were leaping and dancing, surrounding the seedlings and delivering a steady stream of energy to them.
An Lan also followed. While observing, she pondered: "This ecological cylinder can automatically absorb solar energy and then convert it into the energy needed for plant growth, but how is this conversion process actually achieved?
Could there be some special energy conversion device inside?"
The more she thought about it, the more curious she became, wishing she could immediately tear the ecological cylinder apart to find out.
The two of them stood before the ecological cylinder, discussing back and forth, their eyes never leaving the seedlings that were growing vigorously.
Suddenly, Lu Fan slapped his forehead as if he had remembered something crucial, and his eyes instantly lit up: "Oh no! How could I forget the potato seeds!"
Before he had even finished speaking, he dashed toward the Shelter like a gust of wind, his speed as if a pack of wild beasts was chasing him.
An Lan was bewildered by his sudden action and shouted at his back, "Why are you running so fast!"
Lu Fan didn't have time to respond and vanished from An Lan's sight in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, he rushed into the Shelter out of breath and headed straight for the seed cultivation bed.
In the cultivation bed, the potato seeds had already sprouted little green shoots, like curious little heads trying to peek out and gaze at this strange world.
"Great, they've all sprouted!" Lu Fan shouted excitedly, carefully cupping the sprouted potato seeds in his hands as if he were holding a rare treasure.
He jogged all the way back to the ecological cylinder, his heart and eyes full of anticipation to witness a miracle.
"So you were getting these. I thought something had happened." Seeing the potato seeds in Lu Fan's hands, An Lan showed an expression of sudden realization.
Following that, Lu Fan added the seeds to the ecological cylinder.
Just as he squatted down to plant the potato seeds into the ecological cylinder, the purple light also shone onto Lu Fan's body.
Lu Fan suddenly cried out "Ouch," clutching his stomach with both hands and falling to the ground in pain, rolling around incessantly while letting out miserable screams.
"Ah... ahhh..."
An Lan was scared out of her wits, her smiling face instantly turning pale, her heart leaping into her throat.
She rushed over recklessly and squatted beside Lu Fan, her hands trembling and her voice carrying a sob: "Lu Fan, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
She frantically checked Lu Fan's body, her eyes filled with anxiety and worry.
Who knew that in the next second, Lu Fan would suddenly burst out laughing, sitting up while laughing so hard he almost cried: "Haha, An Lan, you were fooled! I was faking it!"
An Lan then realized she had been played. Her worried look was instantly replaced by anger, her face flushing red as she shouted in embarrassment and rage, "Lu Fan, you've gone too far!"
With that, she swung her fist and smashed it hard toward Lu Fan's head, her stance as if she wanted to return all the fright from just now back to him.
"Ouch, ouch, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Lu Fan exaggeratedly cried out in pain while reaching out to block An Lan's fists, yet a persistent smile still hung on his face. "I just wanted to tease you, don't be mad, don't be mad."
An Lan was both angry and amused. Looking at Lu Fan's grinning face, she really couldn't do anything with him: "Is it fun? Are you immature or what!"
Lu Fan quickly begged for mercy: "I won't do it again, I won't do it again."
As he spoke, he ingratiatingly massaged An Lan's back, his face covered in smiles.
After the fooling around, Lu Fan finally got serious. He squatted down, carefully planted the potato seeds, and gently patted the surrounding soil, as if settling the seeds into a warm home.
"Alright, in a few days, we can eat fresh potatoes."
Lu Fan stood up, brushed the dirt off his hands, his face brimming with an expectant smile.
The two returned to the ecological cylinder, staring at the potato seeds without blinking.
Under the illumination of the purple light, the seeds seemed to be injected with the vitality of life and began to grow rapidly. First, the light green sprout tips shot upward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then, the leaves unfolded one by one.
