Chapter 245, The Importance of Water

The sea water formed a waterfall and poured down like a torrential rain down the thick trunk of Jianmu's tree and landed on the surface of Mars.

For a moment, Wang Dashu could feel the joy coming from Jianmu.

Countless roots sprang out of the ground, like a giant net towards the rain, and Jianmu's towering vine-like trunk grew more leaves, greedily absorbing the sea water that fell from the sky.

It can be said that before the flesh god spewed out the seawater landed, it was caught and absorbed by the leaves and roots of the building tree, and only seventy percent of the seawater that could fall on the surface of the earth was less than seventy percent.

You must know that the body of the gods is filled with seawater, and its total weight is as high as more than 600,000 tons!

The sea water that fell from the leaves and roots of the trees soon formed a small lake on the surface, and some fish even jumped out of the water in horror.

This is probably the first time in millions of years that a body of water such as a lake has appeared on Mars.

You must know that Mars may have had water bodies before, but due to low gravity, thin atmosphere, etc., the water vapor evaporated too quickly, so that the water body disappeared completely.

In fact, even at this time, the miniature lakes that gather on the surface emit water vapor into the air at a very high speed.

According to Wang Dashu's judgment, this miniature lake could only last for a week at most at such a terrifying evaporation rate.

However, Jianmu was still frantically absorbing seawater at this time.

Absorbing the vast amount of seawater, Jianmu seemed to be more and more energetic, and even gently shook the trunk of the tree, waving the leaves, as if dancing.

At the same time, the growth rate of its trunk has increased dramatically, reaching more than 3 centimeters per second, which means that it can extend by 100 meters per hour! It can skyrocket by 2,500 meters per day!

As for the growth rate of its roots, it is even more terrifying, in order to compete for the seawater, those roots are like long snakes jumping into the water, greedily swallowing the seawater.

In just over ten minutes, the lake made of seawater was completely absorbed by Jianmu, and even the roots of the tree were drained by the roots of the tree where it was immersed in the soil layer for more than ten meters.

Seeing this, Wang Dashu couldn't help but nodded.

This building tree is a sacred tree, which is naturally different from other plants.

Not only does it grow rapidly, but it is able to move without being tied down in one place after leaving its infancy.

Judging from its current state, Jianmu is not far from getting out of its infancy.

But then again, even if it is not out of its infancy, at the current rate of root growth, as long as it does not break away from the magma, the materials used to lay the water pipeline can be produced continuously.

Later, Wang Dashu asked the Mars base to send people to cut the roots of the trees to lay pipes.

When the immigrants from the Mars base drove the Mars rover to the location mentioned by Wang Dashu, they were so shocked that they couldn't even say half a sentence when they saw the huge building wood.

This scene is so shocking.

You must know that these Martian immigrants, even if they are just soldiers, have learned a lot of knowledge before leaving Blue Star, at least they know that there are no high-level creatures on Mars, and if there is, at most, some organic proteins.

But the giant tree in front of them completely subverted their imagination, when did such a giant tree grow on Mars!

Next, they looked at Wang Dashu with reverence in their eyes.

There is no doubt that the appearance of this giant tree is inseparable from Wang Dashu, and being able to grow such a giant tree on Mars, even with the help of the power of the physical god, is not comparable to these people!

However, during the subsequent process of cutting the roots of the tree, problems arose.

The chainsaw landed on the roots of the tree, and a faint layer of blue light appeared on the roots, and no matter how the chainsaw cut, it could not leave a trace on the roots.

This is one of the natural supernatural powers of the Heavenly Divine Tree, the Aoki Hybrid Body.

It doesn't sound like a good thing, but let alone a chainsaw, even a cannonball can't blow up a little damage on Jianmu.

In the end, it was Wang Dashu who came forward to comfort Jianmu, and the blue light on Jianmu's body faded, allowing the chainsaw to cut off the roots of the tree.

Of course, he also carefully told those Martian immigrants that they could only cut the roots of the trees that the building trees actively extended to the surface, and the rest of the roots were not to be cut.

Well, it's not that I'm worried that the Martian immigrants will hurt Jianmu, but that I'm worried that once Jianmu gets angry, he will drain these Martian immigrants to dry!

Although Jianmu has no ability to move now, its roots are extremely flexible, like long snakes, and it is easy to drain these Martian immigrants into a human body.

However, Wang Dashu was obviously overwhelmed.

Watching those tree roots drill out of the surface and stretch for fifty or sixty kilometers in just half an hour, those Martian immigrants were extremely shocked.

With such a divine tree, how dare they act recklessly.

Fifty tree roots are connected to each other to form a water pipeline that connects the Martian base to the Martian South Pole.

In the following time, water pipelines spread from the south pole of Mars to the Martian base, transporting a large amount of melted ice water to supply the consumption of the Martian base and establishing new ecological parks.

After these things, Wang Dashu ignored them.

The only thing he has to do now is to find a way to solve the problem of water shortage in Jianmu.

As long as there is water, Jianmu can grow wildly, and it can break through the juvenile stage in a short time.

Although the south pole of Mars has a lot of water stored in solid form, since the Martian base needs to be used, if the building wood is absorbed again, I am afraid it will not take long to consume it.

To put it bluntly, it is enough for the Martian base for the time being, but not enough for building wood.

Although it is possible to transport a lot of seawater back and forth between Mars and Blue Star, it is a maximum of 600,000 tons at a time.

What's more, although the Mars base has dug up a lot of mineral deposits, many materials still rely on the blue star, so it is impossible for the physical god to just transport seawater.

Besides, the physical body god traveled back and forth for twenty hours, transporting 600,000 tons of seawater, but Jianmu only needed ten minutes to absorb all of it.

Initially, it was able to absorb 600,000 tons of seawater and grow rapidly for several days, but as it grew in size, when its trunk grew to 50,000 meters, 600,000 tons of seawater was far from enough to use it.

Digging up underground water sources on Mars?

Wang Dashu shook his head, compared to the abundant groundwater on Blue Star, the groundwater on Mars is really a little depleted.

This can be seen from the three-dimensional geological structure map formed by the meta-energy detection wave.

It takes time and effort to dig out the groundwater from Mars, and it is impossible to supply it for long.

Then the only way is to gather water from space.
