Starting from Xiaoao Jianghu to push martial arts horizontally

Chapter 1572
Tian Hao was very interested in the sea bamboo selected by Huang Rong, so he joined in to assist in the research.

Sea bamboo is the name given by Huang Rong, which means it can grow in sea water.

In addition to sea bamboo, Huang Yaoshi also bought a special species called mangrove from a sea merchant in the Western Regions. It is said that it can also survive in sea water, but it needs a certain amount of soil as its foundation.

After Tian Hao proposed the plan to use plants to build floating islands, Huang Yaoshi sent people to spend a lot of money to buy plants that can grow in sea water, and many sea merchants from the Western Regions immediately went back to look for them.

Then they brought all kinds of seaweed, the special seaweed that Huang Rong had selected before was one of them.

"It has to change its root system so that the root system becomes as hollow as the branches."

Tian Hao suggested, and began to experiment.

Bamboo is a material that is perfect in the wild, not only for building bamboo houses for living, but also for making rafts for swimming in rivers.

Bamboo rafts are much easier to make than wooden boats, and they are also durable.

It's just that the hollow part of the bamboo is the main pole, but the root system is solid, which does not meet their requirements.

Under the control of Tian Hao's skill, the sea bamboo infused with a lot of energy grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it only took a quarter of an hour to grow to a height of ten feet.

It's just that the root system expands very quickly, and they are very thick, like the main body of bamboo, with a hollow interior.

"No, such a change cannot cause a fundamental change in the sea bamboo's genes."

After a wave of careful induction and research, Tian Hao finally gave up.

This kind of change is too big for Haizhu's genes to accept, so it has not been recorded on the genes.

Failure to record it on the gene means that there is no way to pass on this characteristic structure, and artificial guidance is still needed.

But there is no other person in the world who can achieve his level, let alone the astronomical number of sea bamboos needed to build a floating island. It would be too much work and unrealistic to induce them all artificially.

"There is no need to change the root system. We can expand the lower end of the bamboo, preferably into a gourd shape, and then build the floating island body on it."

After observing, Huang Rong made a suggestion.

It is indeed difficult to change the root system, but if you just make the bamboo main pole a little bigger, it should not be a big problem. After all, it does not change the essence of the structure, but just expands on the original basis.

Such subtle changes should allow the bamboo itself to be genetically recorded, altering future generations.

"good idea!"

Suddenly realized, Tian Hao patted his forehead, because he had been on the edge of a corner before.

Changed his thinking and re-cultivated sea bamboo, and soon a strange bamboo with a height of three feet, a gourd-shaped lower end, and a maximum diameter of one foot formed.

"The growth rate is not large!"

Huang Rong was dissatisfied, the bamboo main pole with this diameter was too small, far from meeting her needs.

According to her idea, the diameter must be at least one foot.

"The evolution of organisms needs to be gradual."

Angrily, Tian Hao flicked the girl's forehead, and continued to give birth to this man-made mutated sea bamboo, letting it bloom and bear seeds.

Bamboo actually has seeds, but it is too difficult for bamboo to form seeds. Generally, it needs to grow for more than 12 years.

The cycle is too long, so someone invented some special methods to assist bamboo to expand and increase value.

However, they need the brand-new gene that the bamboo is induced to change, so they need to get the seeds that it picks up, also known as the existence of bamboo rice.

Under the urging of a large amount of energy instilled by martial arts supernatural powers, the sea bamboo quickly produced seeds, and Tian Hao obtained a handful of bamboo rice.

Then use it as the foundation to continue to give birth, and soon it turned into a sea bamboo forest.

Fortunately, a lot of algae have been cultivated before as the supply of nutrients, otherwise it would be really difficult to supply so many sea bamboos to grow.

"only one?"

After sifting through hundreds of sea bamboos for a while, Huang Rong was very dissatisfied with the results.

Because only the lower end of one sea bamboo was found to be thicker than the others, and the range was not too large.

"What do you think scientific research is? It can't be done overnight."

Bounced on the girl's fair forehead again, Tian Hao used the successfully mutated sea bamboo as the root to continue to give birth, and still only gave birth to the lower end to a diameter of one foot.

Continue to give birth to bamboo rice and repeat the screening. I don’t know how many times it has passed, and finally hundreds of sea bamboos that have successfully mutated and stabilized can grow to a diameter of one foot at the bottom, which proves that this structural change has been stably recorded in sea bamboos. Among the genes, this is the mystery of biological adaptation to evolution.

Then Tian Hao expanded the lower end of this batch of sea bamboos to a diameter of two feet, repeated the previous practice again and again, and solidified this mutation.

After such a rotation, it was not until three months later that the desired shape of the sea bamboo was obtained. The diameter of the largest point at the lower end basically reached more than one foot, the interior was hollow, and it showed a honeycomb structure, independent of each other. Seawater fills the entire chamber.

Moreover, the lower barrier of this kind of sea bamboo was deliberately induced by Tian Hao with martial arts supernatural powers. Not only is it denser and harder than steel, but its thickness is also greatly enhanced, reaching a thickness of one foot, and it also has self-healing ability, which can be repaired by itself.

In addition, he also grafted a plant toxin into the sea bamboo, which can prevent it from being eaten and damaged by marine organisms, and further ensure the safety and stability of the floating island in the future.

After working for a while, a sea bamboo forest with a diameter of [-] feet appeared on the sea. Under Tian Hao's control, the roots of the sea bamboo were entangled with each other, further stabilizing the shape of the floating island.

There are also a large number of special seaweeds growing in the middle and below to supply the growth of sea bamboo.

Then there is the filling of soil and the planting of mangroves to further stabilize the structure of the floating island.

In this way, an island floating on the sea was basically formed. In the future, it only needs to grow and expand outwards. The scale it can grow to depends entirely on the efforts of Huang Rong and others.

And Huang Yaoshi, who was on the high-altitude gossip array, looked down at the busy daughter and cheap son-in-law below, feeling very relieved.

"The naughty crazy girl has finally grown up."

Fu Xu chuckled, Huang Yaoshi was very pleased by this.

My daughter has been spoiled by him since she was a child. Although her nature is not bad, her temper is a bit unruly and willful.

He was worried about how to marry this girl, but fortunately, someone was finally able to take over.

"congratulations!"

Master Yideng at the side congratulated and sent sincere blessings to Tian Hao and Huang Rong.

He is very grateful to Tian Hao, which stems from the basic transformation of Dali Kingdom.

Under the magical powers of martial arts that can shape mountains and land, many rivers in Dali Kingdom have been corrected or even diverted.

There has been a lot of rain this year, but there have been no floods in Dali, and the people's crops have largely been preserved.

This is the result of months of hard work.

In order to prevent the common people from suffering from floods this year, he has put his life on the line, rebuilding river channels day and night, building various canals and reservoirs, and almost died of exhaustion.

But after seeing the smiles from the heart of the people, he was extremely satisfied, far better than the feeling of reading Buddhist scriptures and ancient books in the past, and his cultivation level has improved a lot.

What the World Honored One said was indeed correct. One cannot become a Buddha by studying Buddhist scriptures hard, one has to get out of the temple.
