Chen Mo got out of the car at the entrance of Building No. 1 and hurried toward the floor where the biology laboratory was located. Nothing obstructed him along the way.
That morning, he had received good news: the seeds in Cultivation Room No. 7 had sprouted.
Cultivation Room No. 7 was the final site for the Soil Oxygen Grass experiment. He had planted the seeds there three days earlier and provided sufficient water, but there had been no movement. None of the hundred batches of seeds had shown any response, yet today, some had finally sprouted.
The survival of the seeds meant that the Soil Oxygen Grass was close to success.
Upon entering the laboratory, Chen Mo quickly walked to Cultivation Room No. 7. The glass wall displayed data such as the temperature and humidity inside, as well as the composition and concentration of the air, all in an extremely intuitive format.
Through the glass, Chen Mo could see two or three patches of green inside the cultivation room. The largest plant had only a single toothpick-like leaf, standing like a hardy blade of grass. Green was mixed into its grayish-white color. It was hard as a needle, yet somewhat fleshy like a cactus, and its entire surface carried a waxy sheen. It was remarkably strange.
Two of the plants showed only tiny hints of green, about the size of a pencil lead tip. Without close inspection, they would have been difficult to spot. This was a plant that had never appeared on Earth before—a completely new species, the Soil Oxygen Grass.
Seeing that three seedlings had sprouted and survived, Chen Mo smiled with delight. Three surviving plants out of a hundred batches of seeds already made him very happy.
The conditions were too harsh, so a high seed
