Bamboo is a classification of the Arborescent family, also known as bamboo, which not only has many species but also grows fast. Some are low like grass, while others are tall like trees. Most of them are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions.
This is the introduction to bamboo in the Plant Atlas, which Lu Lingxi had been reading all night. During dinner, Yan Yue accidentally mentioned the characteristics of bamboo, which are good toughness, good elasticity, and low density, and the three of them started chatting about it. It was originally just a casual chat, but Lu Lingxi had something on his mind, so he started looking for information about bamboo when he came back.
In fact, there are many records about bamboo in China. Bamboo was first associated with Chinese characters, and then it was used in technology, architecture, tools, musical instruments and other aspects. Lu Lingxi found a lot of information, but he only glanced at the irrelevant information and focused on the development history of bamboo in architecture and tools. According to records, bamboo has a long history of being used in construction. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, skilled craftsmen used bamboo to build a palace. In the south, where bamboo is abundant, bamboo houses are the most common houses for ordinary people, and people still live in bamboo houses today.
Lu Lingxi found these records interesting and found out that in the 1950s, bamboo was actually used to replace steel bars in some buildings in China. However, the situation at that time was special and it was a last resort due to the lack of steel, so this method was not widely promoted. But this also indirectly shows that bamboo can really replace steel.
After closing the information, he remembered what he had said to Yan Yue in the afternoon, that he hoped to find some plants to replace steel. In fact, he was thinking of trees like the clam wood. Lu Lingxi had read in a book before that there are several precious trees in nature, whose wood is as hard as steel, can resist corrosion, bullets and erosion, and are used as substitutes for metals, and are sometimes used in ships, water conservancy, vehicles, special buildings, etc. However, all of these trees are extremely precious, especially because they grow slowly and are difficult to grow, which is not conducive to large-scale promotion.
In Lu Lingxi's opinion, the biggest advantage of bamboo over them is that it grows quickly, is easy to plant and has a low cost. If bamboo can really replace steel after proper processing... Just thinking about this possibility makes him excited, and he can't wait to find a few bamboos. These thoughts kept running through Lu Lingxi's mind until he fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night.
When Lu Lingxi opened his eyes the next day, his mind was full of bamboo, so much so that he seemed a little absent-minded the whole morning.
At 8:30, Yan Yue came to pick up Lu Lingxi to the store just like punching in for work. Usually, Wang Shuxiu always treated Yan Yue as air, but today she unexpectedly smiled at him. Yan Yue was a little surprised, but his face remained calm. When he saw Lu Lingxi's slow reaction, he suddenly realized what Wang Shuxiu's change of attitude meant.
As soon as the two of them left the house, Wang Shuxiu asked Xiao Feng in a low voice, "Did Xiaoxi have a fight with Yan Yue? Why does she look so listless?"
Xiao Feng didn't believe that the two would quarrel at all. He smiled and comforted Wang Shuxiu, "How could it be? Don't worry about it." He then teased Wang Shuxiu, "Besides, it's not good for the two to quarrel. Xiaohua, don't you dislike them being together?"
Wang Shuxiu glared at Xiao Feng, who shook his head with a smile and said nothing more. Perhaps all mothers are like this. Even though Wang Shuxiu said she didn't want Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue to be together, when they really had problems, she started to worry about whether Lu Lingxi would be unhappy, and hoped that Yan Yue could make Lu Lingxi happy. This is what is called worrying too much and worrying about nothing.
Wang Shuxiu was at home with her mind wandering. Yan Yue helped Lu Lingxi fasten his seat belt and asked him with a smile, "Xiaoxi, are you still thinking about Zhuzi?"
Lu Lingxi nodded, a little embarrassed, "Brother Yan, do you think I am daydreaming?"
"No." Yan Yue affirmed, "We already have the relevant technology, but we just don't pay attention to it."
Like Lu Lingxi, Yan Yue also read a lot of news last night. He didn't pay much attention to these things before, but last night he learned that using bamboo to replace steel was not a crazy idea of him and Lu Lingxi, but a direction for the development of the international environmental protection industry. Whether it was bamboo reinforced concrete in the past or high-tech research now, people involved have been working hard to apply it to practice. Some pavilions in the Haicheng World Expo two years ago are the best examples.
Especially because of their different focuses, Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue looked at different materials. Lu Lingxi didn't understand the technology Yan Yue mentioned, but he thought that technology was only one aspect, and the most fundamental thing should be the bamboo itself.
Yan Yue nodded in agreement, "Xiao Xi is right, the most fundamental thing is the bamboo itself."
"Brother Yan, should we try to find some suitable bamboos? I still have 5 points of natural force." In addition to returning the natural force rewarded by the panel upgrade last time, Lu Lingxi still has 5 points left. He has been reluctant to use it, thinking of saving it just in case. Now it is just right to use it to evolve bamboo and see what effect it will have.
His eyes were eager, and Yan Yue couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, let's find a few suitable bamboos and try."
There are many types of bamboo, but not all bamboo is suitable for construction. Generally speaking, the most common bamboo is the southern bamboo. Yan Yue told Xue Yongtong and asked him to help find a few bamboos. Xue Yongtong was a little surprised when he received Yan Yue's call. Why did Xiaoxi think about bamboo again? Although most bamboos are produced in the south and are not very common in the north, it is not difficult for Xue Yongtong to find a few bamboos. He readily agreed.
In less than two days, Xue Yongtong found the southern bamboo that Lu Lingxi wanted. He specially picked a healthy five-year-old bamboo body and planned to transplant it to the micro-gardening flowerbed. When Yan Yue and An Jie received the call from Xue Yongtong, they were accompanying Ye Kang to find a suitable apartment. Ye Kang stayed at Ye Cheng's house for two days. On the first day, Erha was able to restrain his nature and pretended to be innocent and well-behaved. As a result, on the second day, Erha turned Ye Cheng's house into a demolition site.
Ye Kang still doesn't dare to recall Ye Cheng's expression when he saw the scene at home. He just felt a chill on his back at that time. Ye Cheng's face was so gloomy that it could scare people to death. Erha probably knew that he had caused trouble, hiding in the bathroom and refusing to come out. After cleaning up the house, Ye Kang wanted to go to the bathroom, but he had to go around to Ye Cheng's bedroom, and was stabbed by Ye Cheng's eyes countless times. Ye Cheng endured it with supreme willpower for a whole night, and the next morning he packed up Ye Kang and Erha and drove them out.
Ye Kang was quite gloating when he talked about this incident. He even showed Yan Yue and An Jie the photos he took of the scene. People who were familiar with Ye Cheng knew that in addition to his vindictiveness, he also had a slight mysophobia. Thinking about the tragic situation at the demolition site, it was incredible that he could bear not to drive Ye Kang and Erha out that night.
"How about this apartment?" Yan Yue asked Ye Kang.
Ye Kang walked around and touched the Husky that followed him closely. "What do you think, Husky?"
Erha looked at Ye Kang with a pair of innocent big eyes. Ye Kang amusedly tapped it with his finger and said, "You're just pretending." He chose to live in the apartment because he could keep a dog here, and no matter how Erha messed up, there would be someone to clean up for him. He just had to pay.
"Okay, let's go here. Angie's room is next door, and Erha will have another place to play."
An Jie's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. He really didn't want the place where he lived to become the place where Erha played as Ye Kang mentioned.
As they were chatting, Yan Yue received a call from Xue Yongtong, who said that he had transplanted the bamboo to the flower garden and asked when they would go to see it.
“So fast!”
Xue Yongtong laughed, "Of course I have to pay attention to Xiaoxi's affairs."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Yue planned to pick up Lu Lingxi to go to the flower garden and stay there at night. Before he could tell Lu Lingxi, Ye Kang was eager to go with him. Yan Yue had no choice but to take An Jie with him to join in the fun.
Because they had to rush back to the city in the evening, they went out after lunch. It was not yet two o'clock when they arrived at the flower garden. Compared with the urban area of Fengcheng, the environmental changes in Lingshui Village were more obvious. Before Ye Kang entered the village, the first thing he saw was the big willow tree rooted at the entrance of the village. From the road along the way, the big willow tree was tall and majestic, with lush branches and leaves, and the crowded willow branches hanging down, with thousands of green ribbons swaying in the wind.
Ye Kang was greatly surprised. When he came to the flower garden last year, the big willow tree was not so tall. In just over half a year, the big willow tree seemed to have grown two or three meters taller.
"I remember you said this willow tree was struck by lightning once?"
"how?"
Ye Kang joked, "I suspect it was struck by lightning because it was undergoing a tribulation."
Yan Yue glanced at him speechlessly, and Ye Kang laughed.
Ye Kang was obviously more interested in the big willow tree than the newly transplanted bamboo. As soon as he got off the car, he asked Erha to go and look around the big willow tree. An Jie had been to Lingshui Village many times, but he was not as sensitive to the changes in the big willow tree as Ye Kang was. He just became curious after hearing what Ye Kang said, and followed him to the vicinity of the big willow tree.
Both of them knew the door, so there was no need to worry about them not being able to find their way back. Yan Yue left them outside without any worries, and went to see the transplanted bamboos with Lu Lingxi. Bamboos do not have high requirements for soil, as long as it is fertile, moist, and has good drainage and air permeability. The soil of micro-gardening has been purified, which almost meets all the requirements for the growth of bamboos.
When the two of them passed by, Uncle Li was curiously looking at a few isolated bamboos. Uncle Li had seen this kind of southern plant once before in Fengcheng Botanical Garden a few years ago. He asked Lu Lingxi with a smile, "Xiaoxi, do you want to eat bamboo shoots?" Otherwise, he couldn't figure out why Lu Lingxi would transplant so many bamboos.
Lu Lingxi felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and he didn't know which sounded funnier, the real reason or wanting to eat bamboo shoots. Uncle Li saw that he didn't say anything, and thought he had guessed what Lu Lingxi was thinking. The little kid was shy, so he laughed and tried to smooth things over.
Uncle Li looked at it for a while and then went to do other things. Lu Lingxi clicked on the white panel, and Nanzhu's information appeared on it.
Plant name: Bamboo
Plant requirements: None
Plant survival rate: high
Generally, newly transplanted plants need an adaptation process. The survival rate of the bamboo shows that it is very adaptable to the environment here. Lu Lingxi looked at the panel and thought about what to do next. According to his experience, plants will show their current state when they meet the evolution conditions, and the bamboo obviously does not meet the evolution conditions at present. If you want to promote its evolution, you can only consume 5 points of natural power. The problem is that he accidentally evolved the winter grass last time, and he can't find any prompts on the panel to choose the bamboo evolution.
The thought flashed through his mind, and a line of green words appeared on the panel.
After receiving the host's mental command, do you want to consume five points of natural power to start evolution?
Lu Lingxi was stunned for a moment, then decisively chose yes.
