Chapter 330 Noble Rove
The joys and sorrows of the students are not interlinked, but the pain when encountering difficult problems is interlinked.
You can tell by the look of Hermione. She held the topic and couldn't help scratching her hair. Her fluffy curly hair became even more messy, and she missed a sentence:
"This question is too difficult, I can't do it."
Hermione is smart, but she has only been exposed to the pea hybridization experiment for a few minutes, and she has no foundation. It is really difficult for her to jump to do some problems.
So, Rove is going to... step it up.
The other students also looked confused, but Professor Sprout didn't expect the students to understand, as long as they had a general understanding.
They don't do technical crossbreeding experiments, they only do simple and crude... artificial pollination.
"Peas are self-pollinated and closed-flowered plants, and they are generally purebred in the natural state." Professor Sprout introduced:
"If we want to get hybrid pink peas, we must go through artificial pollination, which is also your main job today."
Professor Sprout first took the tool and demonstrated the pollination process, then pointed to the corner and said:
"There are the tools you need, and those anti-bee suits, you must put them on." Professor Sprout said: "Okay, let's start quickly."
The little wizards immediately rushed forward to loot, no one wanted to get the most worn-out bee-proof suits. After they grabbed the tools, they started to pollinate the peas step by step.
Artificial pollination is a simple job, first of all, remove all the stamens of immature flowers;
Then cover the pistil flower with a paper bag, seal it, and when the flower matures, collect the pollen of the plant you need and sprinkle it on the stigma of the female flower where the male flower has been removed.
Of course, ordinary plants will go well, but magic plants will not cooperate so obediently.
You want to remove other people's male stamens, but also want to infuse other pollen on your own female flowers, no matter how you look at it, it seems like an extremely hateful ntr behavior... Of course, the magic plants will desperately resist.
Harry and Ron were dealing with a short Bubble Pea. It tried to wrap its vines around their arms, but it was too small and was quickly crushed under them.
Harry got hold of the pea, and Ron, with a pair of tweezers, began to pluck the stamens from the male flowers.
Bubble Pea spit out snow-white pollen, which sprayed on Ron's mask like a goddess scattering flowers.
Ron was wearing a breathable anti-bee suit. The pollen fell on his face through the fine mesh on the mask, and he couldn't help sneezing.
"Are you all right, Ron?" Harry asked concerned.
"It's all right, it's just pollen in my nose."
Ron opened the mask and was about to wipe off the pollen on his face when he suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, smacking his lips and saying:
"This pollen is so sweet... like honey, Harry."
"Really?" Harry held the vine of Bubble Pea, hesitantly said: "There will be no problem, right?"
He still remembered that he found "jelly beans" in the juice of the pitcher plant in the first class of the first grade. After eating a lot of them, he realized that it was the feces of Hu Meizi.
After being cheated that time, Harry didn't dare to eat anything indiscriminately in the past two years.
"This time it's really not feces, it must be pollen."
Ron swears, he wiped the white pollen from his lips with his fingers, handed it to Harry's mouth and said, "Try it quickly."
"..."
Obviously, rather than licking Ron's fingers, Harry still thought it would be cleaner and more hygienic to spray Bubble Peas directly on his hands.
Soon, Harry's hands were also covered with pollen. He stuck out his tongue and licked it. His eyes lit up and he said, "Wow, it's really sweet!"
"Spray again!" Ron immediately excited.
After shooting this pea twice in a row, the third shipment was a little unsatisfactory, and the taste was much lighter than before.
Harry and Ron abandoned it decisively for a bigger pea plant.
This behavior was quickly spread to other students, and they all imitated, while pollinating Bubble Peas, while secretly licking the pollen,
Simo and Dean pointed a bubble pea plant directly at their mouths, showing off today's "dessert" in such a wild way.
Harry suddenly felt something creep up his cheek, and he waved it away, but it came back immediately.
"Ron, did you hear the hum?"
Ron belched and said, "I seem to have heard it, are there any bees around here?"
"Should be, this is a greenhouse after all." Harry scratched his itchy cheeks and suddenly said, "No wonder Professor Sprout told us to wear anti-bee suits..."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
The two suddenly looked at each other in horror, and both saw the bees crawling on the other's face.
"Ahhh there are bees!"
Countless bees appeared, and they circled around the students in groups, and the sound of their wings buzzing echoed around the corner of everyone's hearing.
Harry and Ron hurriedly pulled their masks on, but the swarm of bees were licking the pollen off of them, and they were also locked in the bee-proof suits, and then turned on the frantic stinging mode.
In addition to bees, there are also billywig bugs that came in from nowhere.
Billywig is an insect native to Australia. It is as big as a hornet, heavy in shape, blue all over, with a bright luster like sapphire, and a slender stinger at the bottom of its body.
Compared with bees, after being stung by a billywig, you will feel dizzy and then float.
At this time, Justin and McMillan were like birds, suspended in mid-air, and started the movement of the twin stars around the earth.
Rove didn't pollinate, let alone lick the pollen. He stood there quietly. When a Billywig approached, his hand sprang out like a spirit snake and grabbed the opponent.
Rove held the Billywig bug in his hand and let it buzz wildly, then took out the potion and applied it to its abdomen. After doing all this, he opened his hand and let them fly away.
Hermione didn't care about pollination either. She stood aside and observed for a while, then asked curiously, "Rolf, what are you doing?"
"I'm using the marking potion to mark the Billywig." Rove explained softly:
"After the spy bees go back, I can follow the vine and find their nests."
"..."
Billywigs are full of treasures, and their stingers can be used to make potions. The honey it produces is many times sweeter than ordinary honey, and it is also the raw material for sizzling bee candy, which is extremely expensive.
Of course, these are not the main reasons for Rove to catch them.
Billywigs are dangerous, and excessive stings can cause uncontrolled levitation that lasts for days. It may also result in permanent airborne exposure if an allergic reaction occurs.
If you let them fly around like this, it is very likely that you accidentally stung the students.
Therefore, Rove had no choice but to act for the safety of the students, without any selfishness.
He's... so noble.
