Chapter 118: Purple and Green Bamboo

Standing in front of the courtyard and looking at the bamboo forest in the space, there is a dark green nearby, which grows happily, and it can be said that the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and it seems that you have been dyed with the same color when you step into it. Xie Shu first explored the situation of the entire bamboo forest, there was no formed road in the bamboo forest, as if it was the first time that a living person entered, Xie Shu had to go around. As you go deeper, a crystal clear stream meanders in front of you like a silver thread, the stream gurgling and gently embracing the stones along the shore and at the bottom of the water, the water is clear and fishless, and it seems to be alive like the water in the pond in the yard.

But what surprised Xie Shu was not this stream that he hadn't discovered before, but the dark purple bamboo on the other bank, which was very different from the bamboo in Xie Shu's stereotype. This purple bamboo, which is different from the usual greens, shows a unique beauty and mystery, and people can't help but be attracted to learn its secrets.

Although curious, Xie Shu was not surprised to stop in place, the stream was not wide, because of the clarity of the water and doubts about the special function of water in the space, Xie Shu did not want to trample on the clear water, so he took a big step lightly and stepped over from above, and continued to move forward into the depths. It wasn't until he felt the boundary, the abyss-like existence, that Xie Shu turned back.

The scope of the bamboo forest is not too large, but in more than ten minutes, Xie Shu walked the whole area, if it is not for the lack of roads, you need to go around this dense and tall bamboo to advance, and the speed of Xie Shu will be faster.

The whole bamboo forest can be roughly divided into two areas, separated by a small stream that you see. On one side is the green bamboo, which has been visible all the time and fits a general understanding of bamboo. On the other side, there is a dark purple bamboo, which is not a common color for Xie Shu.

Xie Shu stood by the stream at this time, picked up the book in his hand and tried to determine the two types of bamboo. However, after looking through the entire description of bamboo, I didn't find any bamboo that could be completely consistent with the two, and with the identification method provided in the book, Xie Shu also had a new conjecture, the bamboo here may be a non-renewable resource?

When the space was first held in her hand, although Xie Shu hadn't looked at this bamboo forest carefully, she still remembered the information that could be seen at first glance if there were bamboo shoots on the ground. There were no bamboo shoots in the above-ground part, and Xie Shu tried to find them according to the situation of the bamboo shoots underground, but there was no result. With the observation, Xie Shu also found the special features on the surface of the bamboo forest, it seems that every bamboo is "mature", Xie Shu looked around, not only there are no bamboo shoots, there are no relatively short new bamboos, and even the bamboos that have grown into them are somewhat similar in height. If it weren't for the fact that they weren't completely parallel and vertical, and the branches and leaves in the book weren't the same, Xie Shu would have wondered if this was some kind of game, and the modeler directly copied the modeling of a bamboo into a bamboo forest.

It doesn't matter if it's dark purple or dark green. However, even if she suspects that this is a non-renewable resource, Xie Shu is not too worried, such a bamboo forest, even if she cuts down and builds a bamboo house or even directly builds a "bamboo villa", it is more than enough, and the materials she hoards are all non-renewable, which is still enough for her life in this life, and even for a few more lifetimes, she will not worry.

From the perspective of the morphology of bamboo, the shape of bamboo is the most in line with the description of moso bamboo, but relatively speaking, the bamboo in the space is taller, the bamboo nodes are longer, and the longest single node seems to reach half a meter, and the diameter is relatively uniform.

Although the purple bamboo has a similar record in the book, compared with the bamboo in front of you, it can be said that except for the same bamboo, which is also purple, the rest do not match at all. Speaking of which, Xie Shu found that the two kinds of bamboo in the bamboo forest seem to be only different in color, and from the characteristics of leaves and branches, they are indeed two different bamboos.

After taking a closer look, Xie Shu also had to sigh, such a bamboo, which made her look at this slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, had only one thought, this appearance was perfect compared to bamboo.

I can't find a specific corresponding variety, and Xie Shu didn't worry too much, after all, many things in the space can't be explained by normal world science, and finding varieties is just to better guess or understand whether this bamboo has any characteristics. In this way, eighty percent is not ordinary bamboo.

……

Guessing what might be special about bamboo, Xie Shu went to the supplies and found a firewood knife and some other tools for cutting bamboo.

It's gold and not gold. If you want to know if there is anything special about this bamboo, from the perspective of scientific practice, the most direct and effective way is to cut some for experiments.

"Bang!" A dark green bamboo tree broke off from a height of more than a meter, and with a final swing of Xie Shu's strength, it fell down in response.

Xie Shu cut down five or six trees in succession, then took out a rope to tie them together, and dragged them to the open space in the courtyard, which was the most suitable place for experiments. In addition to the farmland and grassland, there should be special features, although the open space in front of the yard is relatively ordinary, but it is better than the space, but at this time, it is also filled with shelves, and there is not enough place for Xie Shu to carry out the exploration experiment of this bamboo.

Afterwards, Xie Shu went to the other side of the bamboo forest and continued to cut a few dark purple bamboos.

But with the "bang" of the knife, only Xie Shu's hand was shaken and painful, and even the blade of the firewood knife was visibly damaged. But when I looked at the bamboo carefully, it only left a faint trace on the surface, and the knife only scratched some of the wax on the surface, and did not cause any damage to the bamboo itself.

The good news is that you don't need to study to know one of the characteristics of this dark purple bamboo, which is extremely hard. Bad news, it's too hard, even hard to cut with normal tools.

Such a good bamboo must not be wasted here, especially the extremely hard feature is enough to make people happy, if you want to build your own house later, maybe this kind of hard bamboo is better than ordinary cement brick walls. Moreover, it is so hard that it may be used to make some handy weapons.

Although Xie Shu does not lack cold weapons or hot weapons, it is not an absolute good thing to always let people know that he has extremely scarce weapons when he goes out. Weapons are scarcer than food in the last days, and while they may not be as important as food to replenish hunger and water, they are no less attractive to people. Take Xie Shu has been used to put it simply, such a good Tang knife has been shocked, but at the same time, there will be no less in the pursuit of wealth and danger.

But if you can make this bamboo into a short blade or something, it will be different. First, it looks like it's just bamboo, but most people will only think that such a weapon is just used to defend themselves, like a wooden stick and iron rod that they picked up, ordinary and ordinary, and it won't look special, although it reduces part of the deterrent effect, and there will be no people who have crooked thoughts for this dagger made of bamboo, and even take the initiative to rob people, secondly, such a self-defense weapon, maybe in the next battle, will have the effect of confusing the enemy and winning by surprise.

Hardness is only the first known advantage of this bamboo, and it is not known whether it will have other characteristics. Like that pool of water, although the two points of relieving fatigue and restoring physical strength and healing can probably be grouped together, there is also the development of abilities and the optimization of physical fitness, which is not a single function.

Since he couldn't cut at this time, Xie Shu didn't continue to entangle. Maybe a wood knife alone is not enough to cut, or maybe something else or a special means is needed. After all, the days are still long, the things are there, and it is useless to be anxious, and sooner or later I will slowly figure it out and explore it.
