Chapter 775: Purple Wood Tree's Advantage
Xia Yiqing needs about 100 kilograms of wood to make a crib. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā
And the purple wood that Su Rui is preparing now has far exceeded 100 kilograms, even if it is still wet wood now, after drying, it will have a lot less water and a lot lighter weight, but this log is far more than 100 kilograms, not to mention two or three hundred kilograms.
After all, purple wood is a relatively heavy wood, and the density is relatively large, and this purple wood tree has grown to a height of 12 meters, and the diameter has reached 20 centimeters, and the logs obtained from it are also 0.4 or 5 cubic meters, and the weight should be more than 400 kilograms, close to 500 kilograms.
After drying, the weight of the log is more than 300 kilograms, and it may even reach 400 kilograms.
Three or four hundred kilograms of logs, Su Rui thought it should be enough for Xia Yiqing to make a sample of a crib, even if he failed once, he would have a second chance, at least three cribs could be made, and there would definitely be a success.
So, he doesn't worry about raw materials either, that's enough.
It's just that this log is too long, about 12 meters, which is very inconvenient to transport.
Anyway, the crib doesn't need such a long log, Su Rui simply found a tool to cut the log from the middle, so that it is about six meters, and it can be sent directly after putting it in the truck, he estimates that a six-meter-long log is more than enough to make a crib, but just in case, he is still ready to send it all over.
This purple wood tree is indeed a very magical tree species, it is upgraded from the prototype of small-leaved red sandalwood, but it is very different from small-leaved red sandalwood in many aspects.
For example, the growth rate is very different, the small-leaved red sandalwood is eight hundred years to become a tree, the number is very rare, but the purple wood tree is enough to become a timber in one year, a year's time, it can grow to more than 10 meters, even to 12 meters, and the diameter can also reach 20 centimeters, which is compared to the small-leaved red sandalwood, I don't know how many times faster, at least more than 100 times.
In addition, for the growth environment, the purple wood tree and the small-leaved red sandalwood are also different, the small-leaved red sandalwood can only grow in some areas with suitable climate, and there are many environments that cannot grow.
But purple wood trees are different, they can grow in most areas, it can be said that even if it is a desert, but as long as there is water to provide, it can grow, poor mountains and bad water are not a problem at all, and it can even be directly irrigated with polluted water, and it will not affect the quality of the trees, nor will it make the wood harmful, and ordinary water irrigation is the same effect.
Therefore, in these aspects, the purple wood tree undoubtedly has many advantages, and the growth rate is fast, but the quality of the wood obtained is not lower than that of hundreds of years of small-leaved red sandalwood, or even better.
For example, the log in front of Su Rui's eyes was regarded by Xia Yiqing as a small-leaved red sandalwood that has grown for more than a thousand years, which means that the purple wood tree that has grown for less than two years is already better than the small-leaved red sandalwood that has grown for 800 years, and the wood obtained is even better than the small-leaved red sandalwood, which is the magic of the purple wood tree.
It can be said that there is no second tree in the world that can do this to this extent, except for the trees obtained by the Life Modifier and the Life Paradise.
A one-year-old purple tree can grow to more than 10 meters and a diameter of more than 20 centimeters, and after a year, the growth rate will not slow down, as long as there is enough water, the growth rate is still amazing.
However, when the purple tree reaches 12 meters, the growth rate will not slow down, but the growth rate will slow down a lot, before it grows vertically, and after 12 meters, it grows horizontally, which means that the diameter will become thicker and thicker.
The reason why Su Rui knew this was because the purple wood trees he planted in the peach land of his life already had purple wood trees that were more than ten years old, fifty years, and one hundred years old.
Compared with the growth rate of 12 meters a year, but after the second year, it is difficult to grow taller, may not grow a meter a year, but the diameter is from 20 centimeters to 30 kilograms, so that the growth rate does not slow down, but no longer grows taller, but the diameter is thickened, such a purple wood tree, undoubtedly can grow longer.
Of course, the growth of the purple wood tree is not without limits, and after growing to a certain extent, the growth rate will naturally become slower and slower, which is very normal, but this is at least a few decades later.
If it is calculated in this way, with the same area, the same amount of planting, and the same time, it may be that the wood harvest of the purple wood tree is hundreds of times more than that of the small-leaved red sandalwood, or even more than a thousand times, and this is very possible, and it is not inconceivable to do this with the characteristics of the purple wood tree.
From this point of view, Su Rui can completely use the purple wood tree to replace the small-leaved rosewood, and it is possible to occupy the entire small-leaved rosewood market.
It's just that the small leaf red sandalwood is too expensive, and not ordinary people can have this consumption level, which also means that this market is not large, only the high-end market, and this amount is not much bigger.
Therefore, even if the purple wood tree really completely replaces the small-leaved red sandalwood and wins most of the market, there is actually not much.
Of course, even if the global market is small, it is also very considerable for individuals, and the annual transaction volume must be in the unit of 100 million, and the amount is not small, but it is undoubtedly much smaller than the ordinary timber market.
It's just that Su Rui is still not satisfied, what he is pursuing is not only the high-end market, not all the markets of Xiaoye Rosewood, but the mid-range market to be included.
Rosewood microphylla is too scarce, it takes so many years to become a tree, resulting in a low annual output, the price is naturally impossible to come down, and it is impossible to occupy the mid-range market, so it can only develop to the high-end market.
However, the purple wood tree is not the same as the small-leaved red sandalwood, the yield is extremely high, as long as a certain planting area is guaranteed, the purple wood that can be obtained is very considerable.
In this way, the output of purple wood must be extremely high, that is naturally the price can be reduced, there is no need to sell to the small leaf red sandalwood so expensive, you can enter the mid-range market at a relatively low price, and with the advantages of purple wood, in the high-end market, have a huge advantage, which is not comparable with other wood.
It can be said that as long as people who know a little bit about purple wood let them choose wood, they will choose purple wood at the same price.
Therefore, the advantage of purple wood tree is indeed very large, if Su Rui has the heart to develop this market, then there is no need to worry that there will be no market, and he will definitely win a large market, and the amount is naturally far more than the transaction volume of small leaf red sandalwood, which may be more than ten times.
