Chapter 119: A Treasure

Previous Chapter

Speaking of which, as a scientific researcher focusing on human psychology, directly exploring the basic physical and chemical properties of an unknown substance really makes Xie Shu not know where to start, thinking back to the chemical physics learned in junior high and high school, when talking about a substance, most of them are physical and chemical properties, color, smell, state at room temperature, and some need to be measured to know, such as density, hardness, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, etc., and even the reaction with acid and alkali salts.

The properties of a substance are so complex that even if you really explore them one by one, you may not be able to cover them all. However, if you start from the perspective of human needs, it is a lot more convenient. It's all for your own use, not a research sample in the lab, and you don't need to have the idea of finding out everything. Moreover, in reality, even if there is a manual, the functional introduction of the item cannot be said to be comprehensive, just like a football, can it only be used to play? Although the rules are so, these rules are the restrictions of people on things rather than the shortcomings of the things themselves, soccer balls can be picked up and smashed people, and hollow insides can be used to hold water...... It's just that people don't usually use it like this, but it can't be denied that it has such a function.

Even so, Xie Shu just wants to see if this bamboo has some characteristics and functions that he wants, as for whether there are other properties, maybe it will be occasionally developed in the future, maybe it will be discovered by accident, or it may be lost for a lifetime, but it doesn't matter, even if there is no bamboo Xie Shu is already in a state of contentment, one more can be regarded as the icing on the cake, and one less copy will not affect survival.

I thought about how I felt when I first came into contact with the bamboo. Although the green bamboo does not have the hardness of the purple bamboo that can completely resist the cutting of the wood knife, it is obviously lighter in weight, Xie Shu just dragged five or six trees to the yard, and it didn't take much effort to taste it carefully.

Xie Shu took a firewood knife to split a section in his hand, carefully looked at the hole at the port, the bamboo wall did not reach the thickness expected by Xie Shu, there was no heavy feeling in his hand, and he could even throw it up a few times, compared to normal bamboo, he could even praise a sentence of "light and thin". Split into several petals from it, Xie Shu tried to pick up one of them and break it, but found that the bamboo was not as brittle as he imagined, but full of toughness, even if it was full of moisture and did not be air-dried, it could still be bent to a large extent, and the resilience was also good.

If it weren't for the cutting of the knife, Xie Shu felt that he could use this bamboo silk to weave into a soft whip. When I was a child, I saw the bamboo whip that the teacher held in class, and Xie Shu had never experienced it personally, but although it could be described as "weak and boneless", it was more frightening than a thick wooden stick picked up casually, and the slender branches that made students frightened still left a deep impression on Xie Shu. Looking at this bamboo, which can be folded almost at will, but with its toughness and elasticity, it can return to its original appearance like a shape memory alloy, and it is impossible to say that Xie Shu did not use this characteristic to make some handicrafts or weapons.

However, the most important thing is to look at the reaction between the bamboo and the acid and alkali salts, focusing on whether it can prevent acid rain, and whether there will be other conditions in the extreme cold and heat. Rather than weapons, Xie Shu is more concerned about whether these bamboos can be used as building materials.

There is also no lack of building materials in the materials collected by Xie Shu, especially those that are cold-resistant, high-temperature and acid-rainproof, but compared with those building materials and equipment that they are not very good at using and installing, it is obviously more convenient and faster to simply compile a bamboo row that can be disassembled at any time.

As for how to study, it is more convenient, in the case of ensuring the safety of the surrounding environment, find out some utensils that can be used to make experimental equipment, acid rain then use hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and other solutions to try, as well as various alkalis, including salt-rich seawater, soak directly in it, to see if the bamboo can withstand it.

It's not an experimental study, as long as it's safe, it doesn't matter if it's fine and accurate. There is also extreme cold and heat, throw it into the fire, see how long it can last, if you can withstand the fire, then even if it is extremely hot, you can naturally withstand it. There is also extreme cold, the temperature of ordinary dry ice should not be enough, and the solution is directly filled with liquid nitrogen.

With the passage of time, one by one practice has been verified, Xie Shu has gone from having hope at the beginning to now having a smile on her face like a treasure, no, not if she has obtained a treasure, she has indeed obtained a "treasure". Although under various destructions, bamboo will not be affected at all, but to this extent, Xie Shu can almost be recognized as an excellent anti-acid and alkali, high-temperature and cold-resistant material. No matter what kind of "destruction" has been experienced, although the surface of the bamboo is somewhat affected, it can also be ignored, for example, a layer of ice is attached to the surface of the liquid nitrogen, and the fire is obviously dry after taking it out, and the seawater does not see any change, but in the acid-base solution of different concentrations, the bamboo is only a slight change on the surface, except for the green color is somewhat lighter, the acid and alkali do not hurt it at all.

In this way, Xie Shu can also make a general characterization of this green bamboo, although the hardness is not high, but it is better than lightness, toughness and elasticity, and acid-proof and alkali-proof and resistant to high temperature and extreme cold.

It's a great material for building a house. Xie Shu also does not plan to build another place, he previously hoarded the container and wanted to use it as an "outdoor mobile tent", since this bamboo is good, then he can cover the outside of the container with a layer, and he also took this opportunity to make some decorations on the surface of the container.

However, it has taken a lot of time to do the experiment today, even if the flow speed in the space is different from the outside world, and it has not been a long time, but the fatigue that the relief entity can feel is also a lot. After cleaning up the entire test site, Xie Shu first went to take a shower to ensure that it was clean, and then went to the wing room to find some cooked food and returned to the real world to enjoy.

In the following days, Xie Shu focused on the bamboo utilization project, and remodeled the container, especially the appearance, in addition to covering it with bamboo, it was also covered with a layer of firewood that he had picked up outside the suburban warehouse. As for the preparation of weapons, Xie Shu still plans to read the book and study first.

……

This morning, Xie Shu had finished exercising and was reading a book in the massage chair at this time, but he heard a strange sound downstairs, and it didn't look like it came from the 25th floor, and it felt like it should be a low floor. Sensing that something was wrong, Xie Shu sat up straight and looked down, and only then did he relax after seeing one of them clearly. Thinking that he should also come out to meet the other party, Xie Shu put the bookmark in the page in front of him, got up and got off the massage chair, changed into clothes for going out, and walked down.
