Chapter 31 Blue (Additional updates for further reading)
The length of the drainage channel is less than 20 meters, the width is 30 centimeters, and due to the downhill slope, the depth ranges from 10 to 30 centimeters.
It's very simple, you can dig it out in one day.
Mo Lan is absolutely right.
It started to rain lightly at night, and water accumulated in the trumpet-shaped leaves of the azure god-given plant with its opening facing upward.
It cleared up the next day,
The second broad leaf slowly unfolded in the sunshine, with a bud tip in the center.
This tree from an extraterrestrial civilization seems to have no side branches.
A leaf is just one layer, growing upward layer by layer.
The seed given by God has great vitality. In just half a month, the height of the plant exceeded 40 centimeters, and the diameter of the lignified trunk was about 1 centimeter.
This is considered passing through the fragile seedling stage.
Long Bai was still not at ease, and together with Mo Lan, guarded the pond day and night.
Two days later, the second leaf took the shape of a ‘trumpet’.
In the first leaf, where it rains and accumulates water, many roots grow on the leaf surface and the trunk at the same time.
The roots grow rapidly and are densely intertwined.
These roots are not simple aerial roots. In addition to assisting in absorbing water, they also serve to strengthen the leaves and the trunk.
Longbai used a bamboo tube to get water and poured it into the second broad leaf. In the same way, within two days, many roots grew on the leaf surface and the trunk, intertwined and intertwined.
Amazing alien plants.
While Long Cypress and Mo Lan were amazed, they also speculated: The place where this plant grows must have frequent strong winds, most likely accompanied by heavy rain.
……
Long Bai took the worker ants back to the mountain, blocked the half-excavated drainage channel of the pool, and dug a diversion channel connecting the upstream side stream to store water for the pool.
Specialized soldier ants are constantly emerging.
The current number has reached 63.
Send 12 ants to form a team, with large, medium, small and micro soldier ants, to garrison the Molan territory.
A small team of 6 were sent to guard the top of the mountain, specifically guarding the large-fruited hemlock seedlings.
Six were assigned to guard the ant nest territory, mainly next to the young dry cedars.
Assign 3 to guard the nursery.
Assign 24 animals, 12 animals per team, and two hunting teams.
There are 12 more, stationed at the pond at the foot of the mountain, protecting the azure god-given seeds.
In the ant nest incubation room, there are 24 specialized soldier ant larvae, large and small.
For now, specialized soldier ants are enough.
Longbai changed to breed micro, small, medium and large worker ants to supplement the internal logistics capabilities of the ant nest; breed small, medium and large soldier ants to strengthen the hunting ability of insects of different sizes in the mountain forest, enriching Ant nest food categories.
The existing specialized chemical worker ants followed Long Bai and dug a temporary ant nest at the foot of the mountain to live temporarily.
Start the work,
First dig a large pond with a side length of 6 meters and a depth of 1 meter at a distance of 1 meter in the upstream direction of the blue god-given seed.
It is rainy in late spring.
The excavation method is similar to that of a mountain reservoir. Plan the location and dig a drainage channel leading to the downstream of the river ditch to ensure that the rainwater is drained away in time.
Go out late and come back early, three days of work and one day of rest.
Seven days later, the drainage channel was dug to a depth of nearly 1 meter, and pond digging began.
Mo Lan spent most of her time guarding the small pond at the foot of the mountain, and occasionally went into the jungle to help hunt.
While Long Bai was busy working, he was always paying attention to the azure god-given seeds.
After the second broad leaf grows, its growth rate slows down significantly. After the third broad leaf unfolds and the plant height exceeds one meter, the growth rate drops sharply.
The original light green trunk with cyan blue texture became darker and darker bit by bit.
The unfolded leaves are becoming tougher and thicker, especially the veins and edges of the leaves, which are also becoming lignified.
At the same time, the roots at the bottom of the pond are also developing rapidly, drilling deep into the soil to enhance their ability to grip the ground and absorb nutrients.
This is a god-given seed that has been nurtured by the Zerg life capsule. The seedlings quickly grow to an appropriate size, automatically adjust, and in turn consume energy to increase overall strength and enhance disaster resistance.
Survival is the instinct of all life.
……
The hibiscus flowers in the north of the mountain are blooming.
Early summer.
It rains every three days in Shannan.
It is difficult to work in the mud, and the excavation work of the pond has become three days of digging and two days of rest. It's another rainy day.
Early in the morning, Long Bai emerged from the temporary ant nest built at the foot of a nearby hillside and controlled the throne to fly towards the pond.
As he got closer, he shook his tentacles vigorously before passing on the command.
The specialized soldier ants guarding the surrounding areas have been soaked in the rain for half the night, and they return to the nest in groups to eat and rest.
The ruling throne has a rainproof function, and the dragon cypress replaces the soldier ants and guards beside the pond.
There was a flash of light in the dim sky,
A bolt of lightning fell from the dark clouds and hit the forest not far away.
Boom~Long~Long~
Rolling thunder followed.
——It thundered!
——There wasn’t so much rain last year.
Long Bai looked at the outline of a large pond that had just been excavated next to it, and was very depressed.
I am very worried that I will not be able to dig it out in time and fill it with water. If there is another drought in midsummer this year, it will be troublesome.
Look at the azure god-given seeds rooted in the small pond...
"Huh?"
Long Bai's heart skipped a beat, his thoughts turned, and the ruling throne suspended in mid-air slowly descended, elegantly near.
A strange spiritual thought with joyful emotion was directly introduced into my mind.
“!!!”
Long Bai suddenly stood up from the soft cushion, tentatively sending a spiritual call to the azure god-given seed.
"Azure blue?"
Long Bai received the feedback immediately.
"Azure blue."
Still very weak, with vague immature spiritual thoughts.
The azure god-given seed gave birth to consciousness!
Longbai: "My name is Longbai. My name is Longbai."
The seed given by the blue god: "Longbai."
Longbai: " Your name is Zhanlan, your name is Zhanlan.”
The seed given by Zhanlan: “Zhanlan”
Did you just understand the meaning of the name right after you were born with consciousness?
Long Bai's heart moved and he asked: "Zhanlan, do you have any inherited memory?"
Zhanlan's spiritual thoughts came from Zhanlan.
It seems not.
There are no plants.
However, the azure god-given seed has evolved to a very high level.
Have the memories of the ‘return to zero’ of the ruling throne also returned to zero?
Long Bai asked again: "Zhanlan, do you know the ruling throne under me? Both you and it come from the creator civilization."
Zhanlan is still the spirit of confusion. idea.
"Okay..."
"Zhanlan, you have just been born with consciousness and your mental power is weak. Take a rest."
After Long Bai confessed, he looked around and saw that there were no birds or animals nearby. The throne rose quickly and flew straight to the north of the mountain range. go.
......
In the cave, on the large spider silk bag laid out flat, all kinds of force food are sorted into small groups.
Mo Lan didn’t want to go out on a rainy day. She was bored and took stock of the grain in her warehouse.
27 pinches, only 27 Force foods left.
Among the 35 kinds of dried fruits that Long Bai bought, most of them were of good quality and low price but not good in taste. However, there were also 8 kinds of dried fruits that tasted good and he finished them before he knew it.
The most uncomfortable thing is that
in less than two months, less than half of the force food worth 2,000 raw stones is left.
Mo Lan missed her own kettle made of ice and fire.
"When will Long Bai be promoted to the intermediate ant king?"
"When will the azure god-given seed bloom and bear fruit?"
"After the rain stops, shall I go over and ask it?" ”
Mo Lan was thinking about it, and when she looked up, she saw the throne of dominion passing through the rain curtain and appearing at the entrance of the cave.
PS: The pace is a bit slow and there are too few follow-up readings. I will add more to make the list.
