20 Ten sandals and nine emptiness
From now on, Anatom Island belongs to Chen Yan's private island, Chen Yan has the ownership of Anatom, and the sovereignty of Anatom Island and the surrounding maritime rights and interests still belong to the Vanutu Azheng \1 government.
Chen Yan has no money, only about 2 million left.
More than a week has passed since Chen Yan sold Apple stock, Chen took a look, Apple stock rose by 11%, Chen Yan is going to Anatom Island to find Captain Ginter's treasure, sell the treasure, and then buy Apple stock, now Apple stock is $25.4 per share, by March 2012, Apple stock will rise to more than $100 a share.
Chen Yan rented a speedboat.
Port Vila is more than 600 nautical miles from Anatom Island, and the speed of the speedboat is 50 knots, and it also takes more than 10 hours to reach Anatom Island from Port Vila.
Anatom Island is an uninhabited desert island, the area of the island is very large, the island is densely jungled, and the weather is hot and humid.
There is a river on Anatom Island, the river originates in the high mountains in the middle of the island, the river water flows into the ocean, the river water alluvial at the mouth of the river to form a delta, an area of only more than 100 square meters of small island, Chen Yan spent 7.6 million US dollars to buy Anatom Island also includes this small island, the island is very rich in fresh water resources.
Chen Yan parked the speedboat at the mouth of the river and landed on the island.
Chen Yan took out the parchment scroll map from the Spirit Water Bead Space.
The outline of the island was drawn on the parchment scroll map, and in the upper left corner of the map, a cross shape, marking the direction, southeast, northwest, Chen Yan's finger moved on the map, and then at a point, Captain Ginter's treasure should be buried here.
The river is the fast lane of the jungle.
Relying on the river is the fastest way to reach the depths of the jungle.
Chen Yan walked upstream along the river, the jungle was extremely dense, the weather was extremely hot and humid, the fallen leaves fell on the ground, forming a layer of fallen leaves, the smell of decay could be smelled in the nose, and the surrounding environment was very oppressive and gloomy.
Snakes and insects infested it, Chen Yan's footsteps stepped on the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound, stepping on dead branches from time to time, making a sound of dead branches breaking.
……
Chen Yan suddenly stopped, and a spearhead snake was wrapped around a tree in front of him.
The spearhead snake is very venomous enough to be fatal.
The jungle is full of deadly dangers.
……
It was almost dark, Chen Yan entered the Lingshui Bead space to rest, and the Lingshui Bead space was stocked with various ingredients, from meat, dried fish, rice noodles to oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, etc., as well as various cooking utensils,...... , cook in the Lingshui bead space, stir-fry, eat, brush your teeth and wash your face and then lie on the bed to rest.
The next day, Chen Yan got up early in the morning, the air in the morning was very fresh, and the forest was a natural oxygen bar.
A bowl of beef noodles is breakfast, out of the spiritual water bead space, compared with the quiet night, in the morning, the jungle is very lively, the chirping of birds, the cry of howling monkeys, and all kinds of sounds converge into a jungle symphony.
……
Chen Yan continued to hurry, walking upstream along the river, due to a heavy rain last night, the feet were unusually muddy and the jungle was dense, walking in it, the advance speed was very slow.
The tropical jungles of the world are the same, dense, shady and damp, with frequent snakes and insects,...... The brutal survival race between various biological species unfolds in the dense jungle. Different animal species compete for more survival resources, and plants compete silently for fertile soil and abundant sunshine,.....。
???? Different species of organisms have their own rules of survival,...... For example, Teng vines climb on big trees to compete for more sunlight, and one monkey family competes with another monkey family for territory, which is no less bloody and fierce than the competition between primitive tribes for territory.
Birds have evolved hard and sharp beaks in order to eat seeds in hard shells, and trees have hard shells and spikes in their shells to protect their seeds from being eaten by animals,...... Darwin's theory of evolution is vividly displayed in the jungle,......"
……
Chen Yan suddenly stopped, and there was a big tree 3 meters in front of him, with gray bark and pinnate compound leaves.
In his previous life, Chen Yan survived in the deep mountains and old forests of Myanmar, and saw with his own eyes that the Burmese people cut down red sandalwood in the deep mountains and old forests, and then used elephants to transport the red sandalwood out of the deep mountains and old forests.
Chen Yan recognized at a glance that the big tree in front of him was a red sandalwood, which was at least hundreds of years old.
The Chinese have a wood complex, and the deepest part of the complex is red sandalwood.
The emperors of the Qing Dynasty did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, and it took nearly a hundred years to replace almost all the furniture in the court with red sandalwood.
Rosewood grows slowly, there is a saying: 100 years of sandalwood', that is to say, 1 cm needs to grow 30 to 50 years, and each inch needs to grow 100 to 160 years.
Rosewood is hard, there is a saying that ten sandalwood is empty, because the wild forest of rosewood, growing in the mountains with complex environment, the land is not fertile, and the nutrients are extremely scarce, in order to protect itself, the rosewood itself will slowly absorb the nutrients of the heartwood, resulting in the part of the rosewood close to the heartwood becoming more and more soft, until the nutrition of the heartwood is completely absorbed, and then the chaff, white, and finally become "dead sandalwood", and the oil is also exhausted, like sawdust, this is empty.
Rosewood is very precious. Due to the scarcity of red sandalwood, and it is not mature for a hundred years, it takes hundreds of years to be used, and the quality and quantity of 'ten sandalwood and nine emptiness' can be used, which can be described as "inch sandalwood and inch gold".
The red sandalwood tree in front of Chen Yan's eyes has grown for at least hundreds of years, and if the heartwood is not 'empty', it will be transported to China and worth at least millions.
Chen Yan believed that there was more than this red sandalwood tree on this island, as long as hundreds of red sandalwood trees of such a large material were found, according to ten sandalwood and nine empty, there were dozens of heartwood trees that were not 'empty', and Chen Yan's money to buy the island would come back.
Half an hour later, Chen Yan found another red sandalwood tree that was hundreds of years old.
Chen Yanfa is big.
……
The humidity in the jungle is very high, every step is extremely difficult, the muddy road, the underground is very slippery and exhausting, the clothes stick to the body like glue, in the dense jungle, it is difficult to advance, in fact, usually the soldiers advance in the dense jungle at a speed of only one to one and a half miles a day.
Chen Yan found something interesting.
It's a zombie ant.
There is a fungus called Cordyceps lateralis that controls the behavior of ants.
When the ant is infected with this fungus, it will leave the nest, find a leaf in the nearby woodland, bite its vein tightly, and then die, creating the perfect environment for the fungus to grow, and the fungus will grow from the ant's body and grow buds.
……
Chen Yan took out a notebook from the Lingshui Bead space, clicked on the map of the valley\1 song, scaled the map scale with his fingers, enlarged the map scale of Anatom Island, and slid his fingers along a river on the screen, and my current location is here.
