In Nagaril, the group was studying the local tobacco in a makeshift laboratory.
There was tobacco here too, as well as wild tobacco.
The tropical climate and abundant rainfall made the plants here grow exceptionally dense, which also saved the professor some time in his work.
Studying the local tobacco would help them select suitable varieties for crossbreeding or cultivation. Before they arrived, no one had studied Nagaril's tobacco, much less shown any interest in everything here.
If Lin Qi had not wanted to develop Tobacco Leaf Field here, the professor and the others probably would not have appeared in this place.
In nature, the plant world was not so peaceful and harmonious either. To compete for more rainwater, more sunlight, and more animal dung, plants engaged in extremely brutal competition.
For every plant that survived the competition, there was a good chance it had already eliminated at least one species.
"We found that the leaves of this wild tobacco are larger..." A young girl was making specimens of dried leaves and leaf veins. All these discoveries had to be properly recorded and preserved. Once they returned home, they would publish a series of papers showcasing their results.
After carefully measuring the two leaves, the girl cautiously placed them in a box for safekeeping.
The professor sat to one side and nodded. "The larger leaves are meant to obtain more sunlight for photosynthesis, while also preventing the other plants around them from receiving sunlight."
"Only by killing all the plants around it can it obtain more nutrients and water, giving it an even greater advantage in the competition between root systems."
The air here carried the earthy smell of soil, but no one complained about it. Everyone working there was extremely serious.
"The alkaloid content is higher than in the
