Chapter 203 Heading to Planting College
“Have you heard? Admiral Zuo Ling has been named a special-class admiral! That’s an honor second only to that of a marshal!”

“Really? This is amazing! He is a great hero of our empire, he deserves it!”

“I heard that Admiral Zuo Ling did not retreat even when he was seriously injured during the fight against the Insect Queen. In the end, he chose to self-destruct to give other soldiers time to retreat.”

“Yes, for a hero like this, the rank of Special General is tailor-made for him.

If I could be half as brave as he is, I would have no regrets in my life.”

“I wonder if Admiral Zuo Ling has recovered from his injuries? He looked very serious that day. I hope he is safe.”

“I heard that the royal family has mobilized the best medical team and rare recovery potions, so he should be almost fully recovered.”

“I really hope to have the opportunity to meet Admiral Zuo Ling in person and express my respect to him in person.”

On Starnet, everyone was excitedly discussing Zuo Ling’s past combat achievements.

The news of Zuo Ling’s conferment of the title reached the princess’s residence two days later, and an announcement was also posted.

The whole country was cheering for him.

The news of Zuo Ling’s recovery has not been announced yet, so he still has to pretend to be sick.

“The date for the conferment of the title is set for a week from now. Zuo Ling, you should not show up in the next few days.”

Jun Yiluo spoke as he selected various precious medicinal herbs sent from the palace.

“I’ll follow your instructions, Your Highness.” Zuo Ling had no objection.

“I can move freely in the mansion now. I can also accompany little Youan and teach him martial arts.”

Zuo Ling nodded in agreement. He was naturally happy to be able to accompany his son.

“Your Highness, when will you be free to give me a day?” Kolanti walked in from outside holding the little black cat Diandian.

“what happened?”

“The rice seeds you gave me last time, we tried several times but failed to germinate successfully. When you have time, accompany me to the Planting Academy to see what the problem is.”

“Okay, I’ll go with you later.”

Jun Yiluo put down the herbs in his hand, took out a few beads of herbs from the space and put them together and handed them to She Ying.

“She Ying, I have a prescription here. You can try it first. If you have any questions, come back to me.”

“Your Highness, what kind of prescription is this? It requires so many precious medicinal materials?”

“Forget it, just help me purify all the herbs first, and I’ll do it myself later.”

These medicinal herbs are hard to come by, so don’t waste them easily.

This prescription will have to include her blood at the end, and they would definitely be worried if they knew about this.

“Okay, give me two days.”

“As soon as possible. Lan Yin may not be able to wait too long.”

When they got home, everyone knew that Lan Yin had saved Zuo Ling at a considerable cost, and their attitude towards him improved a lot.

“I’ll try my best.” He also wanted Lan Yin to recover as soon as possible so that His Highness wouldn’t always think about him.

She then instructed Ling Yuan, who was sitting at the table, “Ling Yuan, it’s time to put the matter we discussed earlier on the agenda. You should collect the relevant information first, and I will study it with you later.”

“Yes, my princess~” He deliberately prolonged his tone, earning a roll of the eyes from Jun Yiluo.

“Your Highness, you actually have a secret?” Kolanti was a little unhappy. He stuffed Diandian into Wule’s arms and came forward to ask.

Not only him, but She Ying, Wu Le and Zuo Ling all stared at her with subtle looks.

Everyone is waiting for her explanation.

Jun Yiluo: “…”

She did not hide it and told him that she was planning to try to research artificial womb.

When everyone heard that Jun Yiluo wanted to research artificial uterus, they were all shocked.

She Ying was the first to break the silence: “Your Highness, this artificial womb is a field that no one has ever succeeded in. It is extremely difficult. How did you think of this?” Your Highness is not planning to have another baby?
When this thought came to my mind, I felt a moment of loss in my heart, but it quickly subsided.

As long as I can be with His Highness, it doesn’t seem to matter whether I have a baby or not.

Jun Yiluo took the water handed over by Wu Le, took a sip and replied:

“The empire’s population is growing slowly, and many females face many dangers due to childbirth. If we can successfully research artificial wombs, it will not only ensure the safety of females, but also add new vitality to the empire.”

How wonderful it is to be a mother without pain.

Ling Yuan tapped the table lightly, and said thoughtfully: “Your Highness’s idea is bold, but if it succeeds, the consequences will be immeasurable. There will definitely be many obstacles in the process, both technically and ethically.”

His thoughts and concerns were not much different from Ling Yuan’s.

Jun Yiluo nodded: “That’s why we have to act with caution. Let’s start by collecting information and conducting basic research, and explore step by step.”

Of course, once you have researched something, you will try it yourself first, and then publish it if it is successful.

“Your Highness the Princess has the world in her heart. If this research can be accomplished, it will truly be a blessing for the empire.

Although I don’t know anything about medicine or scientific research, if there is anything you need me to do, Your Highness, please feel free to tell me.”

“You have worked hard guarding the border, so leave these to them.”

Kolanti didn’t understand this and didn’t join in the fun, “Okay! I really don’t understand this.

I will continue to tackle rice cultivation.”

Jun Yiluo smiled and said, “I’ll go with you to the Planting College later to see what the problem is.”

“Everyone should go about their business! Zuo Ling, you just stay at home with your mother and the two kids.”

After saying that, he took Kolanti to the Planting College to have a look.

The two of them took the hovercraft and soon arrived at the Planting College.

As soon as they entered the college, they went straight to the agricultural experimental field.

In the field used for trial planting of rice, the students in charge were gathered there and sighing.

Jun Yiluo approached and asked, “How did you sow the seeds?

A student answered with a bitter face: “How else can we plant it? We just sow the seeds directly into the soil and cover them with a layer of nutrient soil.”

“Your Highness, Princess! Why are you here?”

When the other students heard the shout, they turned around and saw that it was Princess Jun Yiluo. They were stunned at first, then hurriedly saluted.

“Your Highness, the rice has been planted for a long time, but there is no sign of germination. We really don’t know what to do and are worried.”

The young student next to him also echoed, “Your Highness, we have been strictly following the previous sowing process. The water source, soil fertility and light have been carefully adjusted, but there is no movement in the seeds. This is very strange.”

“Not surprising. You are missing the most important step.” Jun Yiluo said.

“What?” Colanti asked curiously.

“The planting method of rice is different from that of ordinary vegetables. It needs to be soaked overnight first.”

Jun Yiluo patiently explained, “The outer shell of rice seeds is relatively hard. If you sow them directly, it will be difficult for water to penetrate into the seeds, making it difficult for them to germinate.”

“We need to soak it before sowing and wait for germination.”

After hearing this, the students looked at each other, not quite understanding.

“Your Highness, can you just soak it directly?”

“Of course not. The seeds are packed and soaked in warm water for 4 hours.

Take out the seeds and wrap them in a film to keep them warm and moisturize them for germination.”

Jun Yiluo paused for a while before continuing:
“Don’t worry about it during this period. Wait six or seven hours and then soak it in warm water for two or three minutes.

Take out, drain and continue germination, repeat this process until the endosperm breaks out and the embryo emerges. “

“have you understood?”
