Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 137 "Follow Your Heart"

It was not a difficult task for Li Mu to enhance the ability of street lamp flowers to purify the air. After returning to the laboratory, he completed the task in less than ten minutes.

The appearance of the renovated street lamp flower has changed a bit. The light yellow has turned into daylight, and the kettle-sized main body has also expanded.

In order to distinguish it from the original version, Li Mu called it: [Street Lamp Flower Type II - Air Purifier], abbreviated as "Purification Lamp".

He then spent another half an hour ripening the mother plant repeatedly and obtained hundreds of seeds. After a simple test, he took these seeds to find Yu Shuaikang again.

"A Sao, I call the new type of street light flower a purification lamp. It can continuously absorb the haze within a radius of ten meters. Pay attention to this when planting it, and remember to distribute it evenly."

Yu Shuaikang nodded, indicating that he understood, and then he became concerned about the maturity time of the purification lamp: "How long will it take for these seeds to grow into mature bodies?"

"If it grows normally, it will take about two months, but I specially designed it when I modified it. These seeds can absorb the source energy in the human body. As long as the source energy is sufficient, it will grow to maturity in about three days."

Yu Shuaikang frowned when he heard this: "Three days, that's still a bit long, can it be shortened?"

Li Mu smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry about that. The purification lamps will work as long as they germinate. One of their foods is smog. So as long as these seeds are planted, the impact of smog will gradually decrease."

After that, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up and was about to leave. But Yu Shuaikang stopped him at this time, "I have another suggestion."

Li Mu was surprised when he heard this. "What suggestions? Is it about smog?"

"No, it's about contact information. Before, you didn't have an assistant, so if you wanted to find me and Chengcheng, you had to come in person. That's why we suggested that you find some assistants so that you don't have to run around all the time. But look at you now, even after having an assistant, you're still like this."

After a pause, Yu Shuaikang raised his eyebrows and suggested: "So can you create a plant that is similar to a walkie-talkie? It can communicate without obstacles within a range of several hundred meters or several thousand meters. This will also make it convenient for us to contact and issue orders."

Since the meteorite shower some time ago, the satellite phone in Li Mu's hand, which was originally usable, has become useless. When he sent people to the West Lake Shelter to inquire, he learned that the situation there was the same. Their satellite phone could not contact Kyoto. Some experts speculated that the meteorite might have destroyed all the few remaining communication satellites.

In this way, unless the country launches new communication satellites, all places will basically lose contact with each other.

"Hey! Your suggestion is very good." Li Mu couldn't help but become very interested when he heard this.

As I said, what limits Li Mu's ability are always good ideas and thoughts. As long as he has the ideas, this thing is not impossible for him to do, it just takes some time to experiment.

"Yeah, I think you can do it, but let's put this matter aside for now. You have to hurry up and research something that can eliminate toxins from the human body."

Li Mu shrugged and replied calmly: "I can still distinguish the priorities."

Then he returned to the laboratory and began to select suitable plants for experiments.

On the other hand, Wang Quan and Hu Fugui woke up early in the morning and wanted to continue catching mutant rabbits outside the city, but they found that the whole world was shrouded in thick smog. But this could not stop the two from making money. They had already tasted the sweetness and could not give up this lucrative job.

After packing up their things, the two took a long time to find the city gate, but as soon as they left the city, they saw even thicker smog.

Wang Quan looked at the vast expanse of white in front of him and felt fear in his heart. He couldn't even see the road clearly. He was a little afraid to go out. What if he couldn't find the way back and encountered a powerful mutant beast, they would be doomed.

Hu Fugui, who was standing by, swallowed his saliva and said, "Fuck! Why is the fog outside thicker than in the city?"

What the two didn't know was that because a lot of first-generation street lamp flowers had been planted in Wanling City before, the smog inside was smaller than outside.

"Brother Hu, do we still need to go catch rabbits?"

"Oh, this"

Hu Fugui was caught in a dilemma. On one side were a lot of spiritual coins and a wonderful life, and on the other side were unknown dangers. How should he choose?
After hesitating for about three minutes, Hu Fugui gritted his teeth and seemed to persuade himself: "With the coming of this fog, there will definitely be fewer people going out of the city to hunt. If we catch another rabbit, we will be able to sell it for a high price!"

"As the saying goes, fortune and honor come from risk. Let's do it!"

When Wang Quan heard Hu Fugui's words, he thought that he would soon save enough money to move to the ground, and then he would have to get married, which would cost more money, so he gritted his teeth and decided to continue setting the trap.

"Okay, done!"

Just when the two of them finally made up their minds to continue walking forward for hundreds of meters, Wang Quan looked back out of caution. He found that the tall city wall that was clearly visible before was now only a vague outline, and only the lighthouse tree hanging high in the sky was still emitting a faint light.

There was a tremor in Wang Quan's voice, and he reached out to hold Hu Fugui, "Brother Hu, look behind you."

Hu Fugui couldn't help but turn his head and look when he heard this. He also found the same situation. His already nervous heart became even colder. He couldn't help but stop and said tentatively: "Lao Wang, I suddenly remembered that we haven't had breakfast yet. I'm a little hungry now. How about we go back and eat first?"

Wang Quan said "oh" and patted his thigh as if he suddenly understood something. "I was wondering what was wrong. It turns out I forgot to eat breakfast. No wonder I feel weak all over now!"

"That's right, let's go back and eat first. Only when we are full will we have the strength to work."

As soon as the words fell, the two ran back at a speed many times faster than when they came out, and only stopped when they saw the city wall again. All this happened very quickly, and only a few minutes passed, but their moods fluctuated greatly during this period of time, from making up their minds to finally choosing to "follow their hearts."

Just as the two of them were holding their knees and gasping for breath, Wang Quan suddenly heard a strange sound, so he put his finger to his mouth, "Shh!"

Then he gently asked Hu Fugui who was standing beside him: "Brother Hu, did you hear any strange noises?"

Hu Fugui frowned. Although he was very curious about what his friend said suddenly, he still pricked up his ears and listened carefully. After a few breaths, he murmured, "It seems like someone is digging the soil?"
