Chapter 70: Moving an Island
Mars nodded at his father.
Not to mention whether all these things can be moved to the top of the moving island, the water needed to make these plants grow alone cannot be satisfied.
Therefore, it is still necessary to think long-term, and you can't bring some dead plants.
"Mars, don't worry about these things just yet, let's see if there are any other resources we need on this island. ”
"Yes, Father. ”
Other resources, that's more covered.
The main thing is fresh water.
The second is the fruit of these plants.
Finally, there are other things that can be used as food.
So, the first purpose of discovering an island is to see if it is possible for the island to get fresh water.
But seeing so much vegetation, it is certain that there should not be much fresh water.
Because plants need a lot of fresh water to grow, if you don't have a water source on this island, you don't want to find fresh water.
Mars followed Lawrence into the jungle.
There are not many trees, most of them are shrubs and some other weeds.
There are also flowering ones, but no other animals are seen.
The ground beneath your feet is damp, indicating that it has just rained recently.
In this way, the chances of finding fresh water are even greater.
Mars has been observing his surroundings, and on this small island you can see what a future mobile island will look like.
If this island can be controlled by itself, then the two islands can be completely united, which will save some trouble.
However, Mars had no way to control the island.
So the only way to move all the resources of this island to your own island is to move them to your own island.
Now Mars and Lawrence are not only searching, but also to know the size of the island, so that they can judge how many things they need.
The plan for the moving island is to spread around the central island from the center.
The preliminary foundation is already ready, that is, it can radiate to the surrounding reef group, that is, within a radius of 50 meters from the central island.
In this way, the moving island will become very large.
And now if he could know the general idea of the island, then Mars would know what to do.
"Father, look here!"
Mars was searching for supplies when he saw something strange and quickly called his father.
"What is this?"
At this moment, in a place directly in front of the two people, a small basin appeared.
And it's amazing that the basin was supposed to be full of plants, but now it's all dead. However, new plants can be seen growing in some dead grasses, but they are scarce.
This is in stark contrast to the healthy plants that are still growing around you.
"This tastes ......"
Lawrence crouched down, then looked at the dead grass.
However, it was found that the grass was still stained with hair dryness.
The smell comes from this dry thing.
Mars heard Lawrence say this, and crouched down, and then the taste seemed familiar.
"Father, how does this feel like the of that big bird!"
The taste is familiar, and it's such a large area.
That's what Mars thought of.
"I guess, it seems that the new plants come from these things. ”
Lawrence also came to a conclusion, which made Mars know he was right.
I watched as the large area withered, and then saw new plants growing.
The big bird looks like it's sowing seeds, killing all the plants it doesn't like, and then the plants it likes can grow and use them as its own food in the future.
Since I had this idea, I also said that the big bird should have passed by here at that time.
"Mars, there should be nothing left here, let's look in the other direction of the island, if the island can move near the island, then we will be able to save a lot of time. ”
"Yes, Father. ”
The resources here have grown again, and there is no fear of them disappearing, so now Lawrence and Mars continue to explore.
As noon approached, Lawrence and Mars finally walked the island.
This small island is very large, and if it were to be moved to the mobile island, the scope of the mobile island would not be enough now.
However, as long as he got everything he needed, Mars was already very satisfied.
So, after lunch, Mars would drive the moving island to the southeast of the island.
There is no reef sanitation here, so you can get close to each other.
The island runs high in the west and low in the east.
In the center of the island is a large canyon with lush vegetation.
And the soil of the whole island is very thick.
Because it is covered with various vegetation, the soil is also better fixed here, so the island is also a relatively water-scarce island.
There is not a single hollow area on the entire island where water can be stored, and whenever it rains, it flows down the terrain into the sea.
Therefore, the fact that such dense vegetation can grow here also shows that the precipitation here is very sufficient.
This is a good opportunity for Mars, just stay here and slowly expand the scope of the mobile island.
When the moving island is large enough, it is completely possible to collect a lot of fresh water so that the vegetation can be transplanted.
With all this planning, Mars is even more satisfied with the place.
After midday, Mars took control of the moving island and began its further eastward voyage.
Here he had to make a big circle to get back to the northeast side of the island.
As the Moving Island reached the northeast side of the island, Mars began to slowly make the outermost part of the reef group southwest of the Moving Island closest to the island.
In this way, there will be no sound of island collisions.
Also because the south side of the moving island is shallow, Mars and Lawrence can walk directly to it.
The island's reef will be the cornerstone of the western part of the island of Mars, and the middle part will be filled with sand.
After a few years, Mars will be able to replace more reefs, and then after the moving island is materialized, these transported reefs will slowly be accumulated into a whole.
As for the shallows to the south, Mars will keep them, as this is a very convenient fishing ground where a very good amount of food can be caught.
Everything seemed so normal that Mars felt that the time to move the island was not far off.
