Chapter 503: More Surprises

readx;

Qiubai smelled a smell of gypsum, No. 4 had already cut the stone, as the two trees said, more than two meters inside the stone wall was indeed gypsum. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qiubai has only seen plaster in the hospital, it is very white and very white, it is generally used to fix the position of the person with a fracture, and the plaster here is also white, the white is light cyan, but it is still transparent, and Qiubai can see a very deep position at a glance.

"It's plaster, but it's weird." Qiubai said, walked over, and let No. 4 stay on the side, and Qiubai picked some plaster with his fingernails.

Gypsum is very soft, gypsum is the softest mineral in Mohs hardness, so they are generally born in the gap between the stones, if they are long alone, because they are not hard, they are easily compressed into a piece, in the gypsum found, the thickness of the gypsum is not large, and the piece in front of you is at least three or four meters thick as seen in Qiubai, which is really strange.

With such a thick and soft gypsum, it is impossible to bear the weight of the stones above the valley, and under the pressure of the weight, it is a miracle that the stones on the valley have not slid down, so Qiubai said that it is strange.

"Two, how big is the scope of this gypsum mine? How thick? Qiubai asked.

"It's not small, it's all here, but our roots can't penetrate it, so we don't know the thickness." The locust tree speaks.

"This thing is so soft, why hasn't the valley collapsed?" Qiubai said strangely.

"We don't know."

The two trees can't do anything about it, because they are trees, and they have to grow their roots to know the situation underground, but they obviously can't grow in the gypsum, so they don't know anything about it, so they will ask for autumn white.

Qiubai nodded, and then said: "Two, I want to dig up here, but I'm afraid that once you dig up, the stones on the mountain will slide, once the landslide, the impact will be great, and the two of you may also be buried by the stones." ”

The stone wall on the edge of this valley is still quite high, hundreds of meters, once the landslide, the stones on the entire valley move down and down, manpower can't stop it at all, the consequences are catastrophic, Qiubai is estimated to be able to run, but the two trees definitely can't run, and finally can only be buried alive here, Qiubai doesn't want to be a sinner.

The locust tree was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Mr. Lin Qiubai, I know what you mean, but please dig it up." ”

"You two know it's dangerous and want to dig it?" Qiubai didn't understand, these two trees were really not afraid of dying, or they had lived for thousands of years, so they felt that they had lived enough.

"Well, let's dig it, we won't live long if we don't dig it." Elm said: "This piece didn't actually have much gypsum originally, but now the gypsum grows more and more, our roots can't grow, and in a few years, the gypsum should be all over the valley, Mr. Lin Qiubai, this gypsum shouldn't be a plant, right?" Why is it president? ”

Qiubai smiled: "Of course, gypsum is not a plant, but a mine, gypsum is not called long, it is called generation, how to say it, you can understand it this way, this is an underground rock structure formed because of a certain chemical change, generally speaking, this chemical change is slow, and even takes tens of millions of years, maybe the terrain here is special, so the time to generate gypsum is faster." ”

"Oh, so that's the case, then Mr. Lin Qiubai, you let No. 4 dig it, and then see if you can find out the reason, it's troublesome."

"It's not trouble." Qiu Bai said with a smile, and he didn't dig it himself, so naturally it didn't bother: "Then dig it now, by the way, the effect of your roots on the rocks, if you can, you use this kind of use, as long as the valley does not collapse, that is the best result." ”

"Hmm."

So Qiubai didn't talk nonsense, and let No. 4 start digging inward, and then dig a large area inside.

For example, if you grab a piece and rub it with your fingers, you can rub the gypsum into powder, and in terms of scientific knowledge, this is the density of gypsum is very low, so it will become this state.

Under the constant wave of the claws of No. 4, the gypsum formed powder particles, which were slashed by No. 4 one by one, and as the range increased, Qiubai became more and more surprised, such a large piece of gypsum is really rare.

No. 4 dug slowly and carefully, but now it is also ten meters deep into the stone wall, and then the gypsum is still a little transparent, Qiubai can still see the front, obviously, this is a whole piece of gypsum, which has no stones, so it does not grow in the stone interlayer, Qiubai thought about the height of the mountain wall plus the gravity that these gypsums have to bear, Qiubai felt that the mountain wall did not collapse is incredible.

Qiubai picked up a piece of No. 4 that he had just dug and looked at it carefully, this should be a stone, black, but there was already a little white plaster on the side, so Qiubai understood that there should have been stones in this stone wall before, but because of chemical action, the stone has now become gypsum, not a whole piece before, Qiubai thinks this is reasonable, because the two trees just said that the gypsum is growing.

No. 4 dug three meters further in, and the locust trees and elm trees snorted in unison, and Qiubai quickly asked No. 4 to stop.

Through some transparent plaster, one person and two trees saw that there was actually a flower growing in front of them, which is why they felt so surprised.

"Flowers?"

"I guess it's a flower."

"What kind of flower is this?"

The two old trees don't understand it, it's quite strange, their roots can't reach into it, so I always thought that there can't grow plants in the plaster, but now I actually see a flower inside, isn't it quite a strange thing, subverting their cognition.

"Is it really a flower? What a beautiful flower. "This is the voice of the magnolia tree.

"Sister Magnolia, why is this flower also white, and the flowers you bloom look like it, and it's also very beautiful." Samwa also came to participate, and this valley is not far from the outside, so their divine thoughts can reach here.

"Samwa, look carefully, this flower is different from my flower, although my flower is also white, but it is milky white, it is twelve petals, and there are stamens, but this flower does not, only six petals."

The magnolia tree is not a magnolia flower, the two are not the same, but the flowers of the magnolia tree are also called magnolia flowers, the flowers of the magnolia tree are similar to lotus flowers, the flowers are very large, and the magnolia tree naturally knows its own flowers very well, so you can see the difference at a glance.

"Oh, then Sister Magnolia, you're about to bloom, let me see."

"I can't open it now, I need to wait for next year."

"Next year? I'm going to go to Repulse Bay with Lin Qiubai now, I can't look at it, Sister Yulan, otherwise you can go to Repulse Bay with me, Sanwa can't bear to sister. ”

Qiubai secretly praised, and said in his heart that this ginseng baby is good, please, and then whisper, it is best to let the magnolia tree be soft-hearted, and then promise to come down and go to Repulse Bay together, the more plants in Repulse Bay, the more plants in Repulse Bay, the better.

"Samwa, Grandpa Tree is talking about things, we can't disturb them." Magnolia Tree said warmly.

Shenwa fell silent, and the locust tree said, "Mr. Lin Qiubai, can you pick out that flower for us to see?" ”

"Of course, because I'm curious."

Qiubai asked No. 4 to dig from the side, carefully dug up the plaster on the side, and dug out a square piece of plaster, and the flower was inside, and then Qiubai asked No. 4 to move the plaster out.

The inside is a little dark, the outside is bright, the gypsum is placed on the ground, reflecting the light, you can clearly see that the flower inside is indeed six petals, white, no stamens, the petals are quite thick, but it is transparent, different from the slightly transparent gypsum, this flower is like a crystal, if you look at it from a side angle, you can also see the reflection, extremely beautiful.

"Is it a plant?" Locust asked, but it wasn't Qiubai who asked.

"It doesn't seem like it, I don't feel the smell of plants on it." Elm said.

It is very easy for plants to look at plants, just like people look at people, and you can see at a glance whether the person is dead or alive.

"But it's also possible that we haven't seen a plant yet."

"It doesn't have roots, how can it grow? How do you absorb water and nutrients? ”

"It's in plaster, so it's not like us."

The two trees are discussed there, both have lived for thousands of years, and they are the real masters of plants.

Qiubai squatted in the gypsum, he was thinking about whether there was such a plant in the world, and finally came up with a plant called dendrobium.

Dendrobium is a kind of orchid, in the real data, Dendrobium actually does not grow on the stone, but there are many legends, all say that Dendrobium used to grow in the stone, and then was artificially cultivated, and also lost the ability to grow in the stone, just like poultry and livestock were domesticated, could it be that this is Dendrobium, and it was the previous Dendrobium?

"Mr. Lin Qiubai, you can get this flower out of the plaster, we can't feel it through the plaster."

"Okay."

Qiubai tried it with his hands, and found that this piece of plaster was very hard, and he couldn't open it with his hands, so he immediately called No. 4 over, taught it hand in hand, and slowly cut off the surrounding gypsum, and a complete flower was finally cut out.

This flower is really not big, each petal is also the size of a fingernail, Qiubai carefully held it up with his hand, sniffed it, or the gypsum smelled, it seems that there is nothing strange.

"Can you feel it?" Qiubai asked.

"I can't feel it, it doesn't seem to be a plant." Locust said.

"Then it's probably not a plant." Qiubai shrugged and said, "The natural world is wonderful, maybe this is gypsum, and then I don't know why it formed the shape of a flower." ”

Indeed, nature is quite wonderful, the bark of some trees and the shape of a dragon, the dragon's whiskers and dragon's mouth dragon scales are like, more real than those carved out, after research, the tree is an ordinary tree, and there are no traces of man-made, so in the end it can only be attributed to the wonder of nature, presumably the same is true of this flower, and it seems that it is not dendrobium.

"Then it seems that we are too careful, Mr. Lin Qiubai, please go inside and have a look."

Qiubai went to the cave again, and asked No. 4 to excavate, and almost dug all the gypsum here, good guy, there is really a lot of gypsum here.

After the gypsum was dug out, the diameter of the valley expanded by at least fifty meters, and then it didn't collapse, but Qiubai looked quite timid, because the bottom of the elm tree was nearly twenty meters empty, and Qiubai was really afraid that the stone wall would not be able to bear the weight of the elm tree, and then it collapsed.

"Elm, I think you're really in danger if it's going to rain."

"I can feel it too, my roots are a little loose now." Elm smiled wryly.

"Well, I'll go outside and bring some rocks in, and fill your ground with a cushion."

"Don't bother." Huaishu said: "Mr. Lin Qiubai, we are actually quite interested in your Nanchuan, I wonder if you can also transplant us to Nanchuan?" ”

"Huh?" Qiubai didn't expect that the locust tree suddenly proposed this, and he was naturally overjoyed: "Okay, I'm very welcome." ”

And that's just the beginning, and more surprises are yet to come. (To be continued.) )
