Chapter 961 Unique Advantages

In Nagalil, a group of people are studying the local tobacco leaves of Nagalil in a simple laboratory.

There is also tobacco leaf here, and wild tobacco leaf.

The tropical climate and sufficient rainfall make the plants here grow very lush, which also saves some time for the professor's work.

Studying local tobacco leaves is helpful to select suitable varieties for hybridization or seedling breeding. Before they came, no one had studied the tobacco in Nagalil, and they were not interested in everything here.

If Lynch hadn't wanted to open up tobacco fields here, I'm afraid the professors wouldn't have appeared here.

In nature, the world of plants is not so peaceful and harmonious. In order to compete for more rain, more sunshine, and more animal dung, the competition among plants is also very cruel.

For every plant that survived the competition, there was a good chance they had eliminated at least one species.

"The leaves of this wild tobacco leaf we found are bigger..." A young girl is making specimens of dried leaves and leaf network. present their results.

After the girl carefully measured the two leaves, they carefully put them in the box and kept them.

The professor sat on the side and nodded, "The leaves are bigger to get more sunlight for photosynthesis, and also to keep other plants from getting sunlight."

"Only by letting the plants around it die can it get more nutrients and water, and it will have an advantage in the competition for roots."

There is an earthy smell in the air here, but no one complains about it, and everyone is working hard.

"The content of alkaloids is higher than the samples we have obtained so far, but the equipment here is very rudimentary, and I can't come up with an accurate number..." A student who was doing the sample test gave a somewhat unexpected, and Reasonable answer.

The professor's face was somewhat moved, "I remember we made some dried leaves before..."

A clever student had already brought the shredded tobacco leaves. The professor took out his big pipe, stuffed the shredded tobacco into it, pressed it flat, and lit it with a blowtorch.

He just took a small sip, and after being quiet for a few seconds, his face turned red quickly, and then he coughed it out immediately.

A loud coughing sound meant the body's lungs were clearing out of an unwelcome foreign body that had just entered, which was unusual for the professor.

He had smoked many kinds of cigarettes, and he rarely had such a violent reaction. It can only be said that the things produced after the tobacco leaves were lit made his body feel an instinctive repulsion.

After coughing for a long time, his breathing gradually subsided, and tears filled his eyes.

"I...", as soon as he opened his mouth to say something, he found that his voice was very hoarse, so hoarse that he couldn't speak.

He raised his hand to stop those who were about to contact the emergency team. He just walked to the test bench, prepared something to hold in his mouth, and spit it out again after a while.

"I'm fine, don't worry too much." Looking at the students around him, his voice was still very hoarse, as if it had been filed with a file.

However, there was some excitement on his face. He took another puff from the pipe, but this time he didn't inhale it into the lungs, but just held it in his mouth to feel the changes.

This is a feeling that is not easy to describe, because the raw smoke has not undergone any treatment, so there will be some slight spicy feeling in the mouth, which is normal.

What followed was a very special change. It felt like a mouthful of water was wrapped in the mouth, and even when the tongue stirred the air, there was a feeling of being in the water.

After more than ten seconds, he slowly exhaled the smoke and took a deep breath through his nose.

Great experience.

What made him unable to speak was actually an excessive amount of alkaloids, or nicotine, which made his throat red and swollen, so he couldn't speak well just now, maybe his vocal cords were all red and swollen.

Anything can happen in the wild. Perhaps these tobacco leaves are designed to reduce the targeting of some herbivores, and they spontaneously evolve more alkaloids through continuous reproduction.

This will give those animals an illusion of being poisoned after gnawing on this wild tobacco leaf. They will think that these things are poisonous and cannot be eaten casually, thereby reducing the fate of being gnawed.

Nature is so amazing!

At this moment, nicotine began to quickly enter the blood through the oral mucosa, and the amazing and complex nerves began to transmit information. Soon, the professor felt a sense of satisfaction.

It's hard to describe the feeling, and everyone's satisfaction is different.

Some people think of kissing when they are satisfied, and the feeling of communion makes them very happy.

Some people think of candy when they are satisfied. The feeling brought by nicotine is many times stronger than the satisfaction obtained by eating sugar.

There are also some people, what they think of at this moment is to pull out all the shit in their stomachs in one go-because they are always constipated, the pleasure of pulling out everything smoothly is the ultimate satisfaction.

"Is the source of these tobacco leaves marked?" The professor took out the unburned tobacco leaves in the pipe. Compared with enjoying nicotine, he cared more about the satisfaction brought by money.

Some students nodded, "We have already marked it."

The professor breathed a sigh of relief, "Go over and see if there is a chance to collect some seeds, and speed up the processing of other samples we collected. I want to know the status of all the samples as soon as possible!"

The professor left the proposed laboratory after speaking, he had to tell Lynch the good news.

With Lynch taking so much money, he is always responsible for the money.

Lynch was in the company every moment when he received the call. He was thinking about the next operation, and the professor's call came just right.

"I hope this is good news..." Lynch's voice was calm and gentle, but the professor heard a smell that shouldn't exist.

That's a warning, or something.

"Mr. Lynch, I am calling you because I have good news to tell you that we have found local wild tobacco leaves."

"Its alkaloids are higher than Marillo's, and its leaves are wider and thicker, so beautiful!"

The professor praised the wild tobacco leaves they had found in Nagalil as if he were complimenting his wife, though he didn't know why, and quickly pushed the thought out of his mind.

Lynch pondered for a while after listening, "What about its quantity?"

"A lot, and... hiss..."

The professor suddenly made a sound like when he was injured, and it was like a person's reaction when he suddenly fell into ice water, and he took a breath.

Lynch didn't know what happened, he looked very caring and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing, there was a mouse just now, I hate mice!" There was nothing unusual in the professor's voice, and Lynch didn't think much about it.

"I will arrange for someone to go to your side later, first to investigate the distribution of these wild tobacco leaves, and then collect some dried tobacco leaves and send them back."

"Apart from these, do you have any needs?"

"Like some research equipment?"

The professor's breathing sounded a little short, "Precise instruments here will be destroyed by the environment soon, and I will return to the Federation after I get enough materials, so you don't need to prepare anything else..."

"Very good, hope to have more good news..."

After hanging up the phone, the professor looked down at the female student in front of him. He actually disliked such things.

A professor is a professor, and a student is a student. There is absolutely no need to go to this level.

But... this female student is too enthusiastic. As a teacher, one should not dampen a student's enthusiasm. This is not a teacher's attitude.

The professor frowned, "Is it because of staying in school?"

The female student's family conditions are good, a middle-class family, otherwise she can't afford to go to college.

It's just that she chose a less mainstream major, and this was her own decision, which also meant that her future path was not so easy, and she had to pay the price for her choice.

After graduation, she will either go to a private research institute or laboratory, or stay in school.

It is not impossible to go to private research institutes and laboratories, but there, the power of administrators is obviously higher than that of researchers. In other words, those places cannot be regarded as completely technical, and too much utilitarian and office politics.

This is not the same as her original idea. It is too difficult to find a suitable private research institute or laboratory, which is almost hopeless.

Moreover, everyone is very clear about the purpose of companies with good benefits and benefits in recruiting young girls.

So staying in school became a better choice. She can stay in school as a teaching assistant, and her daily job is to study with the students. At the same time, she also has the opportunity to get some small projects from the professor, so that she can satisfy herself The interest in plant research simplifies the living environment, stabilizes life, and increases income.

This is simply the prototype of the best future, but all of this has a prerequisite, she must stay in school.

Every year, many people want to stay in school. Compared with the society, the environment in school is simpler and simpler, and it is more attractive to these people.

This also makes it not so easy.

Demand exceeds supply, which is a typical seller's market.

The students who were about to graduate in the school tried every means to stay, but she chose the easiest way.
