Chapter 146 The Value of Mutated Potatoes

Wang Chao saw the sprouts on the mutant potatoes, his pupils suddenly shrank, and even his breathing became rapid:

"This is it!!"

Lin Tianrui stood on the wall of the shelter, and from a few hundred meters away, he only saw a yellow spherical object in Lin Shi's hand.

The mutant potatoes were really too big, and he couldn't think of potatoes at all.

He asked through the intercom:

"Wang Chao, what is it?"

Wang Chao heard Lin Tianrui's question, but from more than ten meters away, he was worried that he had seen it wrong, and he didn't dare to draw conclusions easily, so he replied:

"Sir, let me take another look."

After that, he moved a few meters closer until he was within ten meters of Lin Shi and the Demon King.

Lin Tianrui had already taken the telescope handed over by the soldier at this time.

Finally, he saw clearly what Lin Shi was holding.

Lin Tianrui and Wang Chao's voices rang out almost at the same time:

"Mutated plants!"

"A sprouted plant!!"

Lin Shi did not wait for these people to ask questions, and added directly:

"This is a mutant potato, edible and plantable."

If hearing the mutant plants mentioned by Lin Tianrui and Wang Chao at the same time was not enough to make many bigwigs pale.

But when Lin Shi said that this was an edible and plantable mutant potato, the faces of everyone on the wall changed.

"What?! Mutated potatoes!!"

"Mutated potatoes that can be planted!!"

All the bigwigs were not calm.

Of course they understood the value of a mutant potato that was edible and plantable.

Mutated plants!

Or edible and plantable mutant plants!

Or potatoes that are rich in nutrition and extremely full!

They have been asking people to look for mutant plants, isn't it just to find a mutant plant that can be eaten and planted? !

Now with icebreakers fishing, most survivors will not die of hunger.

But as the extreme cold apocalypse lasts longer and longer.

The original vegetables and fruits have been consumed. Without the intake of vegetables and fruits, scurvy patients have appeared in the shelter!

There are still some vitamins in the army that can prevent soldiers from contracting scurvy, but they cannot be supplied to all survivors.

As time goes by, the number of survivors infected with scurvy will only increase.

They must find an edible plant to prevent this from happening!

I didn't expect someone to send a pillow when I was sleepy.

Mutated edible plants appeared!

However, after a brief excitement, the big guys quickly calmed down.

They have seen all kinds of big scenes, and they know that the more critical the negotiation of the transaction is, the more they must remain calm and unmoved.

But one person couldn't keep calm.

"Switch! Let's switch, Lin Tianrui, quickly agree to him!"

The courtyard of the research institute excitedly called Lin Tianrui's name.

Among the big guys, the one who understands the value of this mutant potato the most is undoubtedly the dean of the research institute.

A mutant plant that can be planted has great research value for the research institute.

I don't know how much the dean of the research institute opposed Lin Shi's transaction before the mutant potato, and how eager he is to make a deal now!

He has been immersed in the research institute for half his life, and scientific research is everything to him.

He was so excited at the moment that he did not consider that in the transaction negotiation, if one party showed determination to win, it would give the other party the opportunity to ask for a big price.

Xia Guohong, who was standing by, quickly pulled the director of the research institute and winked:

"Old Li, please be patient. Whether it can be planted and eaten still needs to be tested. And..."

Xia Guohong lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Aren't our gene pills insufficient?"

The director of the research institute only realized that he had lied about the number of gene pills in order to stop the transaction.

In fact, as more and more source beast corpses were sent from the army during this period of time, the research institute had extracted nearly a thousand stocks.

But for research, he did not take them all out and hand them over to the army.

Anyway, as long as the army had enough, it would be fine.

He would not give more.

At this time, he immediately felt that he was in a dilemma.

Lin Tianrui also suppressed his excitement and said to Lin Shi through the intercom:

"Can you bring this mutant potato in your hand over to let us see it."

Lin Shi was very straightforward and said:

"Of course."

He can have as many replicas as he wants.

Hearing Lin Shi being so straightforward, Lin Tianrui and the other bigwigs also had some good feelings towards Lin Shi.

Wang Chao received the order and hurried forward to the side of the Demon King.

When he walked to the side of the Demon King, Wang Chao felt the double oppression from Lin Shi and the Demon King more intuitively.

He himself opened the gene lock before the end of the world, and now he has broken through to the second level of the gene lock.

But in front of the Demon King and Lin Shi, he felt suppressed by a higher life.

Awe of the strong rose in his heart.

If he knew that Lin Shi was the student he sent troops to escort back to school a few months ago, I wonder if he would be shocked.

Lin Shi handed the mutant potato to Wang Chao, who treated it as a treasure and held it carefully in his hands.

He nodded to Lin Shi and took the mutant potato back to the shelter.

The next step was to wait.

Waiting for the shelter's research institute to confirm that the potato was really edible and plantable as he said.

Lin Shi and the Demon King were waiting outside the shelter.

Halfway through, Wang Chao invited Lin Shi to enter the shelter, but he refused.

Wang Chao did not insist.

Instead, he stood aside and waited with Lin Shi.

He chatted with Lin Shi casually.

Lin Shi realized that Wang Chao was trying to find out the origin of this mutant potato.

Of course he wouldn't say anything, so he just answered with a few words and then closed his eyes, looking like he didn't want to talk any more.

Wang Chao stopped talking.

And the moment Lin Shi closed his eyes, he opened the gene lock.

He probed his mental power into the shelter.

At this time, in the meeting room in the shelter, a group of bigwigs had a heated discussion about the mutant potato on the table, which was placed in a box padded with cotton!

The point they argued about was not that the value of this mutant potato was not enough for 1,000 gene pills.

But it was too worth it!

After careful puncture extraction and testing, they found that the nutritional value of this mutant potato was far beyond their imagination.

It was more than ten times more than the nutritional value of potatoes before the end of the world.

Such a large potato can fully meet the nutritional needs of a family of three for three days.

And when the cells of the mutant potato were extracted and cultivated under a microscope, it was found that its division speed was twice as fast as that of ordinary potatoes!

That is to say, the growth rate of this mutant potato is twice as fast as that of the potatoes before the apocalypse!

No wonder it can grow so big!

They even suspect that if this potato continues to grow, it may be even bigger!

The time from planting to harvesting of ordinary potatoes before the apocalypse is 60-100 days.

And this huge potato, with the same growth time, can grow into a giant potato like it is now.

This brings several times the yield!

Under the temptation of this mutant potato,

the director of the research institute finally revealed the actual inventory of gene pills.

When Lin Shi heard this with his mental power, he knew that this transaction would definitely be fine.

He swept his mental power over other parts of the shelter, and in a room, he actually saw the scarred Shen Fanren and Lu Siyue!
