Heavenly Farmer

Chapter 174- Shocked

If it wasn’t for Ye Xiaochen being the city’s top botanist and had not developed the so-called nuclear radiation purifying plant, Mayor Li and other nuclear experts would have not come to watch it.

Even if they came, it was with the mindset of watching a joke.

Ye Xiaochen didn’t care about their thoughts, the fact would speak everything.

“Elder, please dig a hole every ten meters. The deeper the hole, the better it is, and the hole edge should be compact.”

Ye Xiaochen said to a middle-aged man standing next to the excavator.

“Okay,”

The excavator operator nodded, quickly climbed on the excavator, and started it.

The excavator operator was quite skilled, he shorty dug out a hole more than one meter deep. The hole was tightly pressed around the edges, if it was deeper, then the hole would become larger and would not be easy to handle.

Ye Xiaochen nodded towards the excavator operator, indicating it was okay.

The excavator operator continued to make the next hole.

However, Ye Xiaochen jumped into the hole and took out an immortal grass seed from the glass bottle.

Mayor Li and others were curious about Ye Xiaochen’s actions.

Only Wang Shuisheng saw yesterday what happened, so he knew what Ye Xiaochen was going to do.

Instead of putting the seeds in the soil, Ye Xiaochen held it in the palm of his hand.

With the Art of Growth, the immortal grass seed with the speed visible under the naked eye split and began to germinate.

This amazing scene directly made the mayor Li and others directly stunned and dumbfounded.

If they hadn’t been wearing the face protective gear, they might have tried rubbing their eyes, to check whether or not it was real?

However, the green color was very conspicuous.

They all took a deep breath. It was really a shocking scene.

Only Wang Shusiheng felt it was normal.

However, there was an expectation on his face, this grass was his hope!

After using the Art of Growth on the immortal grass seed, Ye Xiaochen removed a small piece of soil and gently put the seedling. With the moist soil, he covered it, leaving only the bud to be exposed.

He did not remove his hand and continued to use Art of Growth.

A few minutes later, he stood up.

The immortal grass seedling has grown an inch tall.

Then he went to the next hole.

At this moment, the mayor Li and others who were in shock came back to their senses.

They felt their eyes were a little sore because they had been watching Ye Xiaochen’s action without blinking in fear of missing something.

“Mr. Wang, is this? Is this a magic trick?”

Mayor Li felt hard to believe.

This kind of seed growth could only be explained with magic tricks.

As for it being mysterious magic, they found it hard to accept.

After all, this was a scientific world, how can such unnatural phenomena appear?

“No, it is not a magic trick, but real magic.”

Wang Shuisheng firmly said.

The nuclear defense experts were speechless.

They couldn’t find any reason to retort.

Now they also have the glimmer of hope that Ye Xiaochen plant might purify the nuclear radiation.

If it was really possible, just imagining this thought made them feel incomparably excited.

The immortal grass seed from birth to rooting and to germinate took about five to six minutes.

As time went by, Ye Xiaochen became more and more proficient in it.

May Li and others did not leave and watched for hours.

Ye Xiaochen used the Art of Growth on more than 50 immortal grass seeds.

After these immortal grasses were planted, Wang Shuisheng immediately let people put a blockade around it.

“Brother Wang, let’s call it a day.”

Ye Xiaochen was tired and said.

“Xiaochen, is there anything I need to pay attention to?”

Wang Shuisheng asked.

“No, there is nothing. Just don’t damage the plants.”

Said Ye Xiaochen.

“Mr.Ye, it is really amazing. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it just as a magic trick!”

Mayor Li Zixun stepped forwards and said.

“Hehe, Mayor Li, it’s just a small means.”

Ye Xiaochen said with a smile.

He didn’t mind about the Art of Growth being seen by others.

“Ye Xiaochen, you are joking. If this is considered a small means, then I don’t know what can be called astonishing means. Mr.Ye is really a top botanist!”

Mayor Li exclaimed.

Several other nuclear experts were also impressed.

They were ashamed of the thoughts they had before.

As Ye Xiaochen was very tired, he didn’t stay there for long and drove back to the farm.

After returning to the farm, Ye Xiaochen immediately fell asleep.

When he woke up, stars were shining in the night sky.

He went home to eat dinner, then after dinner, he returned to take care of the farm and began cultivating.

The next day, Ye Xiaochen went to the construction site again and continued to plant the immortal grass.

Meanwhile, Mayor Li told Ye Xiaochen that the nuclear defense expert team hoped to get some samples of the plants for research.

Ye Xiaochen naturally didn’t care about it. He gave a few young immortal grasses he planted yesterday.

After a night, the immortal grass has grown a little tall.

However, the gray sensation was stronger, obviously, it has absorbed a lot of radiation.

This day, Ye Xiaochen planted more than 60 immortal grasses.

At this speed, it would take about half a month to plant 1000 immortal grass.

Of course, this was the most conservative estimate.

If he could complete the ‘cultivating land’ of Shennong farming in this period and enter the planting, then he could really practice the Shennong tactics.

Once he starts practicing the divine power, then the speed of the art of growth on the immortal grass would greatly increase.

Now, Ye Xiaochen could feel that the turbid qi in the dantian sea has been gradually decreasing.

Nuclear defense crisis incident management, in a temporary meeting room.

Li Zixun and members of LSG, as well as many nuclear dense experts, were gathered.

“Mayor Li, the test data of the purification plant has come out.”

One of the elderly nuclear defense experts said.

“Old Yin, how is it?”

Mayor Li asked curiously.

“The results are quite shocking. The concentration of radiation in the purification plant sample is so high that it is almost par with nuclear material. Most importantly, these samples do not release nuclear radiation, it is as if the radiation were trapped and have become a part of the plant.”

Old Yin said with an excited face.

“So this grass could really purify the radiation?”

Li Zixun took a deep breath and hurriedly asked.

“Yes, this is totally effective.”

Old Yin continued, “Not only that, after absorbing such high-level radiation, but the tissues of these plant samples were also still intact.”

Plants were very sensitive to nuclear radiation. After all, it was a living thing. Like humans or animals, if they receive excessive nuclear radiation, they would die slowly.

This was just the case from passive exposure to radiation.

However, this purification plant could actually take the initiative to absorb nuclear radiation. The concentration of nuclear radiation in these plants one could only imagine.
