Martin leaned back, absorbing the information. "That aligns with some of the ideas I've been exploring. I believe that certain plants, when left to evolve naturally, develop properties that we can't replicate artificially. It's almost as if they're absorbing something from their environment that we don't yet fully understand."
The professor's eyes twinkled again. "You might be onto something, Mr. Fox. We've seen similar results in our field studies—plants thriving in remote, untouched regions, far beyond what we've been able to achieve in the lab."
Martin allowed himself a small smile. This was exactly the kind of discussion he had been hoping for—a glimpse into the deeper mysteries of the natural world, and perhaps, the key to unlocking something far greater.
Their conversation continued for another hour, diving into the technicalities of plant research, the role of environmental factors, and the possibility of applying these findings on a larger scale.
