Chapter 241 The Importance of Water

The seawater poured down in a waterfall, like a heavy rain falling on the surface of Mars along Jianmu's thick trunk.

For a moment, Wang Dashu could feel the joyful emotion from Jianmu.

Numerous tree roots sprang out from the ground, like a giant net to meet the rainwater, while Jianmu's towering vine-like trunk grew more leaves, greedily absorbing the seawater falling from the sky.

It can be said that the seawater sprayed out by the flesh god was caught and absorbed by Jianmu's leaves and roots before it hit the ground, and only less than [-]% of the seawater could fall on the surface.

You must know that the flesh body of the god is completely filled with sea water, and its total weight is as high as 60 tons!

The seawater falling from the leaves and roots of Jianmu soon formed a small lake on the surface, and some fish even jumped out of the water in horror.

This is probably the first time a body of water such as a lake has appeared on Mars in millions of years.

You must know that Mars may have had water bodies before, but due to low gravity, thin atmosphere and other reasons, the water vapor evaporated so fast that the water bodies completely disappeared.

In fact, even the tiny lakes gathered on the surface at this time are emitting water vapor into the air at an extremely fast speed.

According to Wang Dashu's judgment, this miniature lake can only last a week at most under such a terrifying evaporation rate.

But Jianmu was still crazily absorbing seawater at this time.

Jian Mu, who had absorbed a large amount of seawater, became more energetic, and even shook the trunk slightly, waving the leaves, as happy as dancing.

At the same time, the growth rate of its trunk suddenly increased, reaching more than 3 centimeters per second, that is to say, it can extend by 500 meters per hour!It can increase by [-] meters every day!

As for the growth rate of its roots, it is even more terrifying. In order to compete for the sea water, those tree roots jumped into the water like long snakes, greedily swallowing the sea water.

In just over ten minutes, the lake formed by the pool of seawater was completely absorbed by Jianmu, and even the place where it dipped more than ten meters into the soil layer was completely sucked out by the roots of the tree.

Seeing this, Wang Dashu couldn't help but nodded.

This Jianmu is a heavenly tree, so it is naturally different from other plants.

It not only grows rapidly, but also can move after leaving the juvenile stage, without being bound in one place.

Judging from his current state, Jianmu is not far from his infancy.

But having said that, even if it has not yet left the juvenile stage, with Jianmu's current root growth rate, as long as it does not break away from the magma, then the materials used to lay water pipelines can be continuously produced.

Then Wang Dashu asked the Mars base to send manpower to cut tree roots for laying pipelines.

When the immigrants from the Mars base drove the Mars rover to the place Wang Dashu mentioned, they were so shocked to see the huge Jianmu that they couldn't even utter a word.

This scene is too shocking.

You must know that these Martian immigrants, even if they are just soldier kings, have learned a lot of knowledge before leaving Blue Star. At least they know that there are no advanced creatures on Mars. If there are, they are at most some organic proteins.

But the giant tree in front of them completely subverted their imagination. When did such a giant tree grow on Mars!
Next, they looked at Wang Dashu with reverence in their eyes.

There is no doubt that the appearance of this giant tree is inseparable from Wang Dashu, and being able to plant such a giant tree on Mars, even with the help of the power of a physical god, is not comparable to them!
But in the process of cutting the roots later, problems appeared.

The chainsaw landed on the root of the tree, and a layer of faint blue light appeared on the root of the tree. No matter how the chainsaw cut it, it could not leave a trace on the root of the tree.

This is one of the innate magical powers of the Tongtian Shenmu, the Aoki Hybrid Body.

It sounds like this supernatural power is not very good, but let alone a chainsaw, even a shell can't do a little damage to Jian Mu.

In the end, after Wang Dashu came forward to comfort Jianmu, the blue light on Jianmu's body faded away, allowing the chainsaw to cut off the roots.

Of course, he also carefully told those Martian immigrants that they could only cut the roots of the trees that Jianmu actively extended to the surface, and the rest of the roots were not allowed to be cut.

Well, it's not that they are worried that the Martian immigrants will hurt Jianmu, but that once Jianmu gets angry, he will pump these Martian immigrants to death!
Although Jianmu doesn't have much mobility now, its roots are extremely flexible, like a long snake, and it's easy to pump these Martian immigrants dry.

But Wang Dashu obviously worried too much.

Seeing those tree roots drilled out of the surface and extending a distance of [-] to [-] kilometers in just half an hour, the Martian immigrants were all shocked.

How dare they act recklessly when they are so godlike.

After the fifty tree roots are interconnected, they can form a water pipeline connecting the Mars base and the South Pole of Mars.

In the following time, water pipelines spread from the south pole of Mars, connected to the Mars base, transported a large amount of melted ice water to supply the consumption of the Mars base, and established new ecological parks one after another.

Wang Dashu didn't care about these subsequent matters.

The only thing he has to do now is to find a way to solve Jianmu's water shortage problem.

Jianmu can grow wildly as long as there is water, and can break through the juvenile stage in a relatively short period of time.

Although the south pole of Mars reserves a lot of water in solid form, because the Mars base needs to use it, if Jianmu absorbs it again, it may not take long for it to be completely consumed.

To put it bluntly, it is temporarily enough for the Mars base, but not enough for Jianmu.

Although it is possible to transport a lot of seawater by letting the flesh-body god go back and forth between Mars and the blue star, but at most it is 60 tons at a time.

What's more, although the Mars base has dug a lot of mineral deposits, many materials still depend on the blue star, so it is impossible for the physical god to just transport seawater.

Besides, the flesh god transported 60 tons of seawater back and forth for 10 hours, but Jianmu only needed [-] minutes to absorb all of it.

At first, Jianmu absorbed 60 tons of seawater and could grow rapidly for several days, but as its size grew, when its trunk grew to 60 meters, [-] tons of seawater was far from enough for it to use .

Digging for underground water sources on Mars?

Wang Dashu shook his head. Compared to Blue Star's abundant groundwater, the groundwater on Mars is indeed a little dry.

This can be seen from the three-dimensional geological structure map formed by the Yuan energy detection wave.

It takes time and effort to dig out the groundwater of Mars, and it is impossible to supply it for a long time.

Then the only way is to collect water from space.
