Yu Nong was surprised, "Is that so?"
However, the next moment, Yu Nong frowned again, "But scientifically speaking, the growth of honeysuckle has nothing to do with roses."
Lu Wanqing said helplessly, "I'm not too sure either. When I was little, I went to the mountains with my dad to pick honeysuckle. Most of the honeysuckle bushes grew alongside roses. I'm just trying it out."
Yu Nong's eyes lit up slightly, and then he nodded, "Mhmm."
As Yu Nong said this, his gaze towards Lu Wanqing's climate cultivation room, where the culture dishes were, became much gentler. He was now very curious if Lu Wanqing's experiment could succeed.
For plant tissues to regenerate properly, root and sprout, it still requires a certain amount of time. Once everything was arranged, all that was left was to wait.
For the next week, they waited. During the long waiting period, Lu Wanqing almost thought her experiment had failed. Of course, it was her first time, and she hadn't held too much hope, but she couldn't help but have a little desire for it to succeed!
If they could truly cultivate honeysuckle, then Madam Yu's illness would be saved!
A week later, the plants cultivated by Yu Nong had rooted and sprouted. However, their genes had mutated. Although the mutation was slight and much better than before, it still wasn't considered a success, and it remained a failure.
Lu Wanqing's plant tissues in the culture dishes also showed signs of activity. What made her heart race was the image observed under the gene observer – the genes of her plant tissues had not mutated.
Even Yu Nong was excited and quickly came to check her sample. It was indeed not mutated!
In the following time, Yu Nong also began to replicate Lu Wanqing's previous cultivation process. He prepared a new plant sample and, just as Lu Wanqing had done, placed a pot of roses in the honeysuckle cultivation room.
Three days later, the first bud of the honeysuckle cultivated by Lu Wanqing emerged. That tiny sprout carried everyone's hopes. Little Yu Shu was the happiest. The honeysuckle was about to be cultivated. If it could grow, mature, and bloom, Grandma would be saved!
The growth cycle of plants is neither short nor long, especially in scientific research. Ancient Earth plants that had been painstakingly cultivated could not be forced to grow haphazardly before they matured, as no one knew if accelerating their growth might cause mutations.
The waiting period was even longer, yet also exciting. However, Lu Wanqing asked Yu Nong to keep this news quiet for now and not let anyone know, especially An Zhizhi and the An family. The An family worked in the Academy of Sciences, and she was worried that the hard-cultivated honeysuckle might be destroyed.
If not for the fact that only the advanced equipment of the Academy of Sciences could simulate the Earth's environment for the honeysuckle to grow, she would have even wanted to move this small pot of honeysuckle back to her own home to plant.
Lu Wanqing only reminded him, but she didn't expect Yu Nong to become even more anxious upon hearing her words. He didn't go home and even slept in the laboratory at night, guarding this hard-won little seedling.
It's worth mentioning that Lu Wanqing's pot was not the only success. After a period of cultivation, Yu Nong, following Lu Wanqing's method, also successfully cultivated a new pot of non-mutated honeysuckle.
Although their honeysuckle had not yet grown and bloomed, seeing the honeysuckle gradually sprout leaves, the vines growing taller each day, and the genes remaining stable without mutation, they were all deeply excited.
The growth cycle of honeysuckle is relatively long, taking at least five to six months from planting to blooming. It was impossible to guard it constantly for such a long period. Of course… 138 Reading Network
Lu Wanqing believed Yu Nong might be able to do it, as honeysuckle was too important to him. During this time, she and Little Yu Shu could see that although Yu Nong was working very hard, he was visibly happy. The honeysuckle had been cultivated. As long as it could mature and bloom with non-mutated genes, Madam Yu would be saved.
However, five to six months was a long time to constantly guard it, and doing so would eventually take a toll on Yu Nong's health.
Lu Wanqing bought a small, independent monitoring device and secretly installed it in their cultivation room.
While waiting for the honeysuckle to grow, Lu Wanqing was not idle. She and Yu Nong cultivated some more ancient Earth honeysuckle. Later, with a higher success rate, they also bravely attempted to cultivate these honeysuckle outside. Unfortunately, the honeysuckle that left the ancient Earth simulation environment quickly mutated and was no longer pure ancient Earth honeysuckle.
It is worth mentioning that while they were waiting for the ancient Earth honeysuckle to grow, on the other side, the Mu family officially produced a batch of small mechas and put them on the market. Many customers who had pre-ordered the products received their small mechas immediately, and Lu Wanqing's account balance also surged with a large amount of money.
Not only on the StarNet, but to allow more children in the interstellar era to experience the sensation of small super-3S mechas, the Mu family also collaborated with the Federation's most outstanding game developers to create a Starship Mecha game.
Although it was called a game, the entire game simulated the Zerg battlefield. Even the map settings were varied, including forests, deserts, grasslands, and various other terrains.
In different map environments, many Zergs were distributed. Players could purchase their own mechas after entering the game and engage in battles to eliminate the Zergs.
For equipment, everyone started with basic gear upon entering the game. To obtain better equipment, players had to enter the battlefield and eliminate Zergs. Different Zergs offered different rewards. The more Zergs killed, the more gold coins obtained, which could then be used to purchase better weapons and equipment in the game's store.
As soon as this game was launched, it immediately caused a huge entertainment craze in the interstellar era. On the first day of the game's server launch, billions of people rushed to register and enter the game. Fortunately, the technology of the interstellar era was advanced enough; otherwise, supporting so many people entering the game simultaneously would have caused the servers to crash!
After the game's server launched, Little Mu Lan and Little Zhong Liyi both sent messages to Lu Wanqing. The cubs excitedly invited Mommy to play the game with them because the mecha prototypes in the game were based on the five small mechas Lu Wanqing had previously designed for the five cubs. Coupled with some small mechas created by the Mu Group following Lu Wanqing's groundbreaking mecha innovations, when this game was launched, the children all thought of their mother and wanted to fight alongside her!
Not only them, but even the proud Little Cui Cui sent Lu Wanqing a message, inviting her to play the game!
