Chapter 374: Giant Dragon Bamboo
Banbu didn't know how long the rainy season lasted on that wasteland continent and when the dry season began, so he didn't dare to stay in Chiwu Mountain for a long time, just rested for a day, arranged all kinds of things, and set off immediately.
Longzhu is related to Chiwu Mountain, which is related to whether a sea of trees is worth building, and for Chiwu Ghost King, it is a lifelong pursuit and dream.
The Red Black Ghost King was extraordinarily generous to Banbu, preparing a whole large bag of high-quality Force food condensed by God-given seeds, all of which were easy-to-preserve dried fruits that had been specially purchased from the caravan in the late summer season last year.
The Force Food condensed by ordinary life plants, under the same volume, contains less Force than the Primordial Stone.
The Force food condensed by the God-given plant contains more Force than the original stone in the same volume. In general, the higher the quality, the thicker the Force.
This bag of rough stones is exquisite.
When flying along the boardwalk, each time you arrive at a supply base, you will take out the stock of ordinary Force food from the base to eat, and only use a small amount of high-quality Force food in the middle.
When I arrived in the Western Regions and turned south, there was no supply base along the way, so I slowed down a little to reduce the consumption of high-quality Force food, in short, I ate as sparingly as possible.
Along the way, the time spent was reduced to less than 2 months.
The spotted cloth has been controlled, and there is still half a bag left, which is intended to be used when returning, so that the return journey will only take 2 months.
……
The rainy season in the moor seemed to be coming to an end, and when it was time for Zebra to arrive, there was a rainy day, which was light and short-lived, and the thunder and lightning were intense.
The transplanted 10 dragon bamboos have grown into a total of 32 bamboo poles, forming a small bamboo forest, one of which is not undamaged.
The rain is followed by the scorching sun.
Banbu also collected animal manure from place to place, fetched water from nearby river banks for one last irrigation and fertilization.
Two more light rains, followed by hot and hot weather.
The native plants of the wasteland are the most prescient and have already bloomed, and the fruit seeds are ripe at this time.
For the rest of the day, there was no rain.
The heat and lack of water make the native plants in the wasteland yellow, but they do not die, and enter a semi-dead and dormant state. Mature seeds dry up, each with its own powers, and different plants spread the seeds in their own way.
Banbu is sure that the dry season is coming, according to the calendar he set, this time is about the beginning of August, referring to the development law of hemp bamboo, stimulating flowering and fruiting, and the fruit can not be harvested until the beginning of October.
Calculate the time, the seeds are ripe and picked, not too much stranded, and directly transported, which can be sent back to Li Zhufeng in the spring of next year.
Just right.
Zebra stops watering the bamboo seeds.
Longzhu is mainly not cold-tolerant, and the drought tolerance is still relatively strong.
The scorching sun is exposed, there is no rain falling for a long time, the air is getting drier, and the change of air humidity is also the main factor that stimulates the flowering of bamboo seeds.
The drought of the dry season of the wasteland is smoothly stimulated and flowering. The monoecious flowers bloom at different times, and the male flowers bloom a day or two earlier. Naturally, dragon bamboo relies on wind to spread pollen, and the probability of success is very small. Under the premise of a large bamboo forest, not necessarily one of the ten female flowers will successfully obtain pollen.
There are now only a small bamboo forest of 32 bamboo poles, and wind pollination is almost impossible, so measures must be taken.
If the bamboo pole is too high, the difficulty coefficient will increase.
Zebrabu is huge, so he has to be careful to fly with his wings and keep enough distance from the flowers. Using a small piece of wire, the severed leg of an ordinary bee is encased, and the metal ability controls the fluff of the broken leg to touch the male flower and collect pollen.
Mental power is divided into two, and distraction is used for two purposes.
At the same time, lock the female flower ready for pollination, and then control the wire to fly slowly, and touch the female flower stamen with the broken leg stained with pollen to complete the pollination.
In order to ensure the quality of the seed genes, the spotted cloth is cross-pollinated, which is more difficult.
The flowering period is only two or three days, and the best pollination time is only one day, but fortunately, there are only 32 bamboo poles in total, and the workload is not extraordinarily large, and it is busy all day and successfully completed.
Once the most critical aspects of flowering and pollination are done, the rest of the work is much easier.
Guarding inch by inch, waiting for the flowers to bear fruit and the fruit to grow.
……
Banbu soon found that after many years of not working, his pollination technology had grown slightly, and the pollination of flowers had a fruit rate of more than 50%, and 32 bamboo poles had condensed a total of 244 bamboo fruits, much more than expected.
Wait patiently for a month and a half.
At the beginning of October, the transplanted 10 dragon bamboos have exhausted their last shred of life, and at the same time, the bamboo fruits are fully ripe.
The dragon bamboo fruit is the same as the hemp bamboo fruit, the outside is a hard shell, the inside is the seeds, and a fruit contains more than ten seeds.
Wet fruits also need to be dried.
Banbu uses a metal four-wire to string the bamboo fruit, hang it on the tentacles, and set off directly on the way home.
In the dry season, the sun is fierce enough and the air is dry, and the sparse dry plants seem to be ready to spontaneously combust at any moment.
After walking for four or five days, the bamboo fruit hanging on the tentacles is completely dry.
The zebra stops, peels off the husks, and picks the seeds one by one.
500 full seeds were selected and divided into two, one for Chiwu Mountain, and one for Li Zhufeng.
The largest number of seeds with insufficient plump and round grains, nearly 2,000, were all lost.
In addition, there are more than 300 shriveled and deformed seeds, all of which were left and brought back to Li Zhufeng for sowing. This is a habit that has been cultivated for decades, and theoretically speaking, this kind of seed has a probability of less than 1 in 100 million to develop into the kind of dragon bamboo distortion that can flower and bear fruit every year.
……
Half a bag of high-quality Force food remaining.
Zebra saves to eat.
Along the way, not slow, constant speed, sparse vegetation on the ground, encountered the insurmountable jungle before flapping wings into the air, flying at low altitude.
It is much more convenient to enter the plank road opened up by Chiwu Mountain, running directly along the plank road ground, and there are ordinary Force food to take at every supply station.
After two months of travel, I returned to Chiwu Mountain.
The dragon bamboo seeds are divided equally, and the cooperative relationship between the two parties ends, and the next is the competitive relationship.
Banbu didn't stop much, and he took a break for half a day and went straight on the road.
In order not to affect the flight speed, the seeds were packed in metal bottles and tied to the shin shells of the legs.
Fly through the air and run for your life.
At the end of early spring in January, the seeds were sent back to Li Zhufeng.
At this time, the members on the mountain peak received the news and opened up the breeding nursery in advance, and the nutrient soil had already been allocated.
When the spotted cloth landed, the seeds were immediately delivered, and they worked overtime to make the nutrient soil into a nutrient mass and sow the seeds.
Madara guards with red rice and belly bamboo, always observing.
The Lotus Mist Ghost King and the Hibiscus Butterfly King were in Li Zhufeng, observing for a few days, watching the dragon bamboo seeds germinate and the young bamboo shoots break out of the ground, and then leave.
There is no problem with dragon bamboo, however, due to long-distance transportation problems, Li Zhufeng's bamboo seeds were sown a month later than Chiwu Mountain, which is a big step behind.
Moreover, in their opinion, Li Zhufeng's Ma Zhu also has problems. The members of Li Zhufeng are too tender, there is no experience inheritance of ancestors, the breeding technology is okay, the selection technology is seriously immature, and the growth of Mazhu-1 is very poor.
The names of the hybrids of Mazhu-1 and Longzhu have been decided, and Chiwu Mountain and Li Zhufeng are uniformly named "Julongzhu".
The Lotus Mist Ghost King and the Furong Butterfly King left confidently, there was no accident, the seed given by the Giant Dragon Bamboo God must have landed on their Chiwu Mountain.
As everyone knows, as soon as they left on their front feet, a batch of high-quality Mazhu-1 bamboo seedlings were transported from Huozhu Mountain and sown in the experimental land that had been selected long ago.
Baba who had been hiding in the big-headed ant fence was also sent down the mountain, recharged urgently, and then sent up the mountain, scanned and tested, calculated the genes of each bamboo species participating in the breeding experiment, analyzed and compared, and screened the best plants.
