Novel EastChapter 63: Chapter 63: Accelerating the Experiment!
Translator: 549690339
Jasmine didn’t know who Sophie Lucia was.
Nor did she know about the conflicts and entanglements between Lucia and Link.
All she knew was that the effort she put in over the past two weeks had all gone down the drain, her half-written “research paper” had been wasted.
Furthermore, she knew that the other party was carrying out the research, doing the experiments, and producing the results based on the ideas mentioned in Link’s new germination method “research paper”.
From childhood to adulthood(?), Jasmine had never wanted to accomplish something as much as this time.
Unfortunately, someone else beat her to it, leading her efforts to be in vain.
All she could do was whimper and sigh that life is full of disappointments more often than not. ๐๐ธ๐๐ฎ๐ต๐ฎ๐ช๐ผ๐.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
Jasmine also understood that Link couldn’t fix this situation.
So she sniffed, held back her sadness, took back her mobile smart brain from Link, and crouched in a corner to let her emotions settle.
She didn’t linger in front of Link, not wanting to pass on her negative emotions to him.
Good girl.jpg.
Link’s eyes were deep as his heart boiled with fury.
This was too f***ing intolerable.
Even if someone is a habitual plagiarist, they can’t keep taking advantage of someone like this, right?
This situation absolutely needs to be addressed.
Link employed the “Mind Closure Technique” to quell the anger in his heart, took out his mobile smart brain, and objectively began to carefully read the “research paper” that Sophie Lucia had just published.
Even if it was against his will, Link had no choice but to praise the “research paper” if he put aside personal feelings and biases. The points were clear, the evidence sufficient, the data sound, the analysis accurate, and the results…
Hehe, there seemed to be some problem with the results.
Sophie Lucia had taken into consideration all the conceivable factorsโcontrol group, experimental group, independent variables, dependent variables, extraneous/extra variablesโvery thoughtfully.
Her experiment included seeds of all groups of the Silver Star flower from the first to fourth generation, solidly proving the positive effect of the new germination method on the quality seeds rate of the Silver Star flower and its scope of influence.
This “research paper” would undoubtedly promote the economic benefits of the new germination method.
Even if Sophie Lucia only claims 30% interest in the new germination method, though the input-output ratio may seem a bit low, she’s still making a profit.
She earned both “Academic Points” and Magic Stones, and added color to her research history.
Such a gain can be considered a great profit.
After all, in this experiment, she didn’t have to explore and experiment with the most crucial research direction herself, but rather had found it ready-made.
The only thing that could bother Sophie Lucia was one point.
That is, Link was to profit from their workโhe didn’t have to do anything, and the income from the new germination method would “automatically” increase.
But the reason Link determined that there was a problem with Sophie Lucia’s experimental outcomes was that she failed to resolve the fundamental issue with the Silver Star flower seeds.
To explain with numbers:
Assume that the quality seeds rate of the Silver Star flower after mature fruiting without special germination methods was 50%,
And with the ordinary germination methods, the rate was 65%,
The rate after using the new germination technique was between 75%~8o%.
A boost of 1O%~3O% in quality seeds rate was quite considerable in terms of economic benefits.
However, the vitality problem of the Silver Star flower seeds still exists and hasn’t been solved!
Therefore, Sophie Lucia had results, but the results were shaky.
In academic terms, this was a shifty way.
If Link’s upcoming Silver Star flower hybrid cultivation experiment succeeded, its achievements could completely overshadow Sophie Lucia’s.
The new germination method itself, however, wouldn’t be affected much.
Because before starting hybrid cultivation, they would need to use the new germination method to cultivate and select seeds.
Link carefully reviewed the data on Sophie Lucia’s “research paper” again along with the records in his own experiment log, and instantly he had a plan.
Jasmine had already cultivated and selected the Silver Star flower seeds twice and had the third generation seeds of each variety of Silver Star flowers.
The impact of the new germination method on the quality seeds rate beyond this point would be minuscule.
They could entirely abandon the planned third round of cultivation and selection and begin the formal experiment of Silver Star flower hybrid cultivation early.
Link had purchased the seeds of five varieties of Silver Star flowers. Using the single hybrid method in two species, nine experimental groups had to be created.
This step in the entire hybrid process is known as selecting parent lines.
The following step is germination, which would take about six days.
Maturing would merely take three days.
During these three days, they would need to timely carry out tasks like desexualization, bagging, and fertilization.
Strict marking must be performed during bagging, labels attached, and they must be concisely written to cover content like desexualization date, hybridization date, female parent name*male parent name, such as A*B.
Where A is the female parent, and B is the male parent.
Then is the harvest of seeds, or the Fl generation.
This Fl generation is called the single hybrid and is represented by A*B.
If there’s an excellent seeds rate of more than 80% in the Fl generation seeds of nine experimental groups, the experiment could barely be considered successful.
If there’s dissatisfaction with the experiment results, and the single hybrid couldn’t achieve the desired characteristics for breeding,
They could use the compound hybrid method, i.e., to use more than two varieties and more than two hybrids to breed, to screen out superior and more complying individuals.
Compound hybrids can be divided into three or double hybrids.
A three hybrid is a single hybrid and another variety hybrid, i.e., (A*B)*C;
A double hybrid is two single hybrids hybrid, i.e., (A*B)*(C*D) or (A*C)*(B*C).
In short, they aim to screen out Fl generation Silver Star flower seeds that have hybrid vigor and have solved the vitality problem.
Time-wise, Link estimated optimistically nine days, pessimistically twenty-seven days, and realistically around eighteen days.
This was a labor-intensive project, and it was impossible for one person to handle it.
So…
“Jasmine, come over.”
Link waved Jasmine over, who was crouching in a corner, moping all by herself, “I have a way to help you take your revenge!”
“What?”
Jasmine bounced up abruptly. She immediately exited her sullen state, her vitality restored, her fighting spirit full, “What’s the way? Tell me quickly, I must teach that bitch a good lesson!”
Once a girl’s fighting spirit is aroused, the power she can exert is quite terrifying.
“Personal attacks are definitely out of bounds. We’ll resolve this academically with academic means.”
Link first drew a boundary, defining the tentative range of revenge, and then continued, “I told you before that what you are doing is the preliminary work for a hybrid breeding experiment. Now, we are officially starting the hybrid breeding experiment.”
After that, Link briefly explained the related issues of hybrid breeding.
“No problem! Let’s get started!”
Jasmine didn’t quite understand, but she knew one point.
If hybrid cultivation was successful, they could give that bitch a good slap in the face.
So why hesitate?
Let’s go!
