Between 1770 and 1777, 15,000 blacks starved to death on the island of Jamaica alone. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info// free e-book download //

The British colonists had to take measures to improve the food situation there, so they ordered a cruise ship to Tahiti, an island nation in the South Pacific, to collect bread saplings, transport them to the West Indies to plant, and successfully solved the famine at that time.

The bread tree is a staple food in many tropical regions, and Polynesians often carry the tree's root cuttings with them on their sailing expeditions so that they can be planted on other islands.

The fruit is very rich in starch, and it is usually baked, steamed, and fried before eating, and the taste is similar to that of bread and potatoes after cooking".

A bread tree produces 200 fruits a year, making it one of the most productive edible plants.

This miraculous fruit, in some peculiar circumstances, is enough to support the continuation of a nation, such as Samoa, a small island nation in Southeast Asia.

Located in the southern part of the Pacific Ocean, this island nation is made up of two main islands, Savai'i and Upolu, and seven smaller islands, where Samoa's unique flavor is located, where the magical bread tree grows.

Samoa's unique style, beautiful scenery and laid-back life have made it a famous tourist destination, and Samoan men are physically strong, so some people call them "the strongest people in the world", and the Samoan islands are even more charming because of their diverse mixed race beauties.

Samoans live a very quiet life, and industry and agriculture throughout the country are developing slowly.

Samoa has very little arable land, from high mountains to deep valleys, and thorns everywhere, except for crops and orchards.

But Samoans are lucky. Because they have a special resource -- the bread tree.

Someone joked, a Samoan man. It only takes 1 hour to plant 10 bread trees. Even if you have fulfilled your responsibility to the next generation.

The fruit of 12 bread trees is enough for a man to eat for a whole year.

Samoans cut the "bread" from the tree into slices and roast it on their plates.

Not only that, but bread trees are also a raw material for a variety of items.

Small boats made of bread trees were the main means of transportation for the Samoans; A house made of bread trees can be lived in for 50 years; Samoans even use the bark of trees to make rope and various household items.

Such a precious kind of tree, Jin San naturally will not let go, so like the milk tree, the bread tree has also been transformed by Jin San as a strategic reserve. Placed in the breeding space of the space carrier.

The transformed breadfruit tree is able to bear fruit for 12 months a year, and as long as it can grow in the northern cold zone, it has no other weaknesses.

Now that Jin San has increased its production, this tree has really become a high-yield crop, so that the status of this breadfruit tree is even more important than rice and wheat.

Because breadfruit trees are more resistant to natural accidents than rice and wheat, and are easier to grow than rice and wheat. This kind of thing is definitely a strategic resource.

In addition to these two kinds of trees, Jin San also has two other achievements in this month, which is the magic fire extinguishing tree used in water-scarce areas. and the Tree of Light in the Dark Zone.

There are very few trees that can emit light, and in the primeval forests of Africa grows a tree that can emit light, and the local residents call it the "magic tree".

Daytime. This tree looks no different from a normal tree, but at night. Its trunk and branches glowed brightly.

At this time, the locals like to come under the trees to play and relax. It is also abundantly distributed in North America.

Why does this magic tree shine? People have been studying for a long time, and this peculiar phenomenon has even aroused the interest of many scientists, who have finally solved this mystery after repeated research.

It turned out that it was not the tree itself that would glow, but the mycelium of a fungus that parasitized it.

Because it emits light, it is also called "bright fungus".

This fungus grows and reproduces by absorbing and decomposing cellulose and lignin from trees for nutrients.

Just because it can't be seen during the day, people often don't know each other, and at night, it glows pale blue.

The luminescence of an organism is due to the fact that it has a special substance in its body, luciferin and luciferase.

Luciferin oxidizes under the action of enzymes and releases energy at the same time.

This energy manifests itself in the form of light, which is what we see as biological light.

The reason why Jin San studied this is mainly because of the building he is building now.

The building covers a large area, and although he used a tic-tac-toe structure to build the building, which enhanced the lighting performance of the building, after the building was completed, its internal space was still very dark, so it was inevitable that the lights would be turned on during the day.

Although the electricity bill is not worth a few dollars, it is not comfortable for people to live in the dark, so Jin San wanted to find a decorative material that could make the dark building as bright as day.

That's why Jin San is interested in this magic tree, but this magic tree is produced by fluorescein under the action of enzymes, so that although it can emit light, the growth of pseudohoney ring fungus is to absorb and decompose the cellulose and lignin of the tree, so if there is not enough cellulose and lignin, this kind of wood that will glow will not be able to emit light.

Jin San thought of a lot of methods, but in the end, all he could do was make this kind of tree shine for a year or two after death, which was the result of his time passage ability.

But this result is not acceptable to him, only more than a year and less than two years of use, but it cannot be used as a decorative material, such a material is too troublesome to change every two years.

In the end, this tree can only be used by him on the space carrier, as a green energy source to reduce oxygen and energy consumption.

There was no way, Jin San could only find another way in the end, and he found a large number of trees that could emit light, like a plant in North America, the luminous tree, which became a fire tree at night, and the whole body was shiny.

When this tree was first discovered, people thought it was the embodiment of some kind of demon, and they were very scared, and no one dared to approach it.

But after a long, long time, people have not found out that this tree is harmful to people, and slowly like it.

Nowadays, people intend to transplant it in the front yard and back of the house, use it as a street lamp, and can also borrow light to do things, and even read books and newspapers.

This evergreen tree can not only shine at night, but also shine during the day, this kind of noctilucent tree is really what Jin San wants.

Jin San used him to decorate the building, that is, to make the building bright during the day, and at night, it was not an electric light!

This kind of noctilucent tree, its light source is at the root of the tree, its roots have a large amount of phosphorus, to become phosphine trihydrogen gas, run out of the tree, as soon as it touches the oxygen in the air, it can emit a kind of cold light that has no heat and cannot burn.

The brightness of this phosphorescence is directly proportional to the size of the tree, and the larger the tree, the more phosphorus it contains and the stronger the light emitted.

There is also a kind of tree that can sparkle in the Jinggang Mountain area of China, and the locals call it "lantern tree".

It is an evergreen broad-leaved tree with a lot of phosphorus in its leaves, and on a sunny night, the tree is dotted with fluorescent, like thousands of small lanterns hanging high, illuminating and guiding passers-by.

Jin San used these two trees, combined with the magic tree's ability to absorb and decompose wood, and it took a month to mutate a kind of luminous wood suitable as a decorative material.

This tree, named the Bright Tree by Jinsan, uses phosphorus as a raw material to emit cold light, and after being made into a plate, this tree can still emit a faint light for more than 20 years, until the plate consumes all the phosphorus, and then completely loses its luminous effect.

It can be used for 20 years, which is enough to be used as a decorative material, and even if it is changed once in 20 years, its cost is not very high.

The magic tree first cultivated by Jin San was focused on by Jin San, and he wanted to cultivate and strengthen the false honey ring fungus in his body again, if he could strengthen the fake honey ring fungus that could absorb nutrients from the air and live, then the luminous decorative plate produced by the magic tree could be maintained for a longer time.

At present, Jinsan does not invest much in the research of bacteria and viruses, so there are few results.

His most important research on cancer cells has not yet been officially launched.

If he wants to get some results on the pseudohoney ring, this useful fungus, he must wait until his biological laboratory is officially established.

Now that there are alternative materials, Jin San is no longer troublesome, and this metal has placed too many hopes on Jin San, so the things that Jin San studies are generally useful for the construction of metal buildings.

Breadfruit and milk trees can improve the lives of workers, and can also ensure that the humans inside the space carrier will have enough food once it is in space.

But food alone is not enough, there must also be water, in the space carrier, water, plants, air should be recycled, and the water spray tree is a good plant.

In addition to the sprinkler tree, there is also a fire extinguishing tree, which is also the focus of Jinsan's research.

Whether it is a metal giant ship or a metal building, although it is not afraid of fire, all the decorations inside it are afraid of fire, although the interior of the building will be equipped with fireproof materials, but fire prevention is still the top priority.

The Tèbié is the space carrier, a huge fortress used as a weapon of war, and its firefighting is a top priority.

And Jin San's research on plants, the first thing that made him think of was to extinguish the fire tree.

We know that trees burn when they meet fire, however, in nature, there are some trees that are not only not afraid of fire, but also can extinguish fires, and this kind of tree is known as the "nemesis" of forest fires.

Nature is very magical, there are many plants that can automatically extinguish fires, and the "Laucor tree" that grows in the African jungle is a peculiar fire-fighting tree.

Jin San tested this sensitivity to fire prevention, he deliberately stood under the camphor tree and smoked with a lighter, but when the fire flashed, white yèti foam suddenly erupted from the tree, so that the fire of the lighter was extinguished immediately. (To be continued.) )
