Chapter 408: Semi-soil and Semi-hydroponics
When the leaders of the old nest heard that Shi Yuebai was going to plant trees again, they were all worried.
There is no other reason, it’s just that there are so many trees in the old nest that it is overflowing.
However, these wildly growing trees have never caused any harm to the survivors in their nests.
Their roots continue to grow deep into the ground.
It avoided the houses built by the survivors in the old nest and did not cause any destructive impact on the foundations of the houses.
Some roots even surround the foundations of the survivors' houses, forming a layer of plant barrier around the foundation.
This effect may not be seen for houses built by ordinary survivors.
However, the roots of these plants have circled around the foundation of the wall, forming a thick underground barrier.
This underground barrier makes it more difficult for the water and soil below to be lost.
No one noticed this at first.
Shi Yuebai might know, but she didn't think it was a serious matter, so she didn't tell anyone.
Later, an expert in the old nest who specialized in studying soil erosion became extremely worried about the current living environment in the old nest.
The increasingly high meltwater from the snow will eventually wash away the soil and water underneath the nest.
Once the snow melts, it will continue to corrode the bottom of the nest.
Although the garbage mountain blocked the melting snow and protected the nest.
But one day the old nest will become like a bowl with a hole at the bottom, and water will seep in from below.
The expert who studies soil and water had nothing to do all day, so he kept thinking.
One day he had a sudden idea and took a shovel to dig a hole.
Look at the soil and water below to see if it has been washed away and eroded by the melting snow.
The more he dug, the more shocked the expert became.
The bottom of the nest is full of plant roots.
After discovering this, experts reported it to higher levels one by one.
The leadership of the old nest also attaches great importance to this matter.
They found some exploration tools in Shi Yuebai's supply warehouse, and then sent people to carefully explore the underground of the nest.
Finally, I found that the roots of these plants growing like crazy in the nest were so dense that they covered the entire nest like a real bird's nest.
Shi Yuebai watched them busying around and said nothing.
Only after Xu Xuejiao, Pang Zhenggong and the others had finished their work did Shi Yuebai say lightly,
"I've known this for a long time. I've already told you that these plants won't have any effect on you."
Within Shi Yuebai's protective formation, all plants are under her control.
It’s because the garbage mountain is not that reliable.
So in order to provide double insurance, Shi Yuebai specially had plants planted in every corner of his nest.
She deliberately let the roots of the plant grow into a bird's nest shape underground.
Even now plants are grown on the garbage mountains.
Shi Yuebai also wanted to allow the roots of plants to take root in the cracks of the garbage mountain.
The roots of these plants absorb water from the melting snow.
The large bowl wall that protects the nest is covered with plant roots.
The more turbulent the snowmelt outside is, the more nutrients it will provide to the roots of these plants.
Shi Yuebai smiled at Xu Xuejiao and Pang Zhenggong who came to ask questions.
“Just think of these plants as half soil-grown and half hydroponically grown.”
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, we don't have much land."
