Astral Cockroach

#360 - Mountain Reservoir (Fifth Update)

Belly Bamboo, Holy Sound Bamboo, and Thunder Sound Bamboo are three bamboo species that differ significantly in appearance from other bamboo species.

The bamboo culms are relatively short, the bamboo nodes are thick and short, and the branches and leaves are sparse.

The flowering and fruiting are also the same, with only a few bamboo nodes in the middle producing ears at the sheath ring, each ear bearing only two or three small flowers.

These characteristics collectively determine that these three bamboo species will belong to rare varieties.

Only 31 Belly Bamboo-1 seeds were obtained last year.

Even within Belly Bamboo-1, there are differences in gene quality, with obvious disparities. Sown last autumn, they began to develop this spring. The worst ten or so only produced the second culm, while the best two produced the fifth culm in the spring.

Pollen produced by high-quality bamboo species will definitely yield offspring with superior genes through hybridization.

Banbu also particularly valued the Holy Sound Bamboo. Considering the scarcity of flowers and the limited amount of pollen, he instructed Xiang Pu to direct the bee colony to transfer all the pollen produced by the two best Belly Bamboo-1 plants to the Holy Sound Bamboo.

In addition, two Belly Bamboo-1 plants produced their fourth culm this year. Their gene quality was slightly inferior, so Banbu had Xiang Pu collect their pollen and transfer it to the Thunder Sound Bamboo.

As a result, the Holy Sound Bamboo gave birth to a God-given Seed, but the Thunder Sound Bamboo did not.

From this, Banbu speculated that only the best quality could trigger the projection of God-given power from those "stars" in the sky.

If it doesn't succeed this year, it doesn't matter. The Belly Bamboo-1 seeds will flower again next year, and we can experiment again next year.

After comforting the disappointed and frustrated Feng Ling and Long Zhu, Banbu drove away the other members who had come to watch the excitement, leaving himself and Du Zhu to guard.

Du Zhu lowered his divine sense and said, "Banbu, how about giving this Holy Bamboo God-given Seed to Long Zhu? Feng Ling has always hoped that Long Zhu could have a God-given Seed."

Du Zhu was mischievous and naughty since he was a child, but he had a strong sense of brotherhood in his nature and was very loyal. When he was a child, he took Hong Mi to play and took special care of Hong Mi, giving him all the good food and fun.

Now that he has grown up, Hong Mi follows Hong Dao to cultivate bamboo species.

Long Zhu follows Du Zhu to cultivate bamboo species, and it can be seen that Du Zhu takes special care of Long Zhu.

"Follow the order, Du Zhu, you have priority," Banbu persuaded, "Du Zhu, entering the Mountain Lord level, the time required for growth in each age group increases from 3 to 10 years. If you miss this opportunity, you may not be so lucky to catch up in the future."

"Long Zhu is still young and can be allowed to stop eating Origin Power food, stop growing, and endure until next year to be promoted. If a corresponding God-given Seed for Thunder Sound Bamboo cannot be cultivated next year, there will be opportunities in the future."

Du Zhu said, "Banbu, I can also slow down my growth rate."

"There's no need for that," Banbu said, "Don't worry, Du Zhu, Long Zhu will definitely have a God-given Seed, if not next year, then the year after, at most delayed by another year or two."

"Then... okay," Du Zhu said, "Banbu, if we are luckier, the strengthening effect of the Holy Bamboo should be to extend lifespan, right?"

Banbu said, "If we're lucky, that's how it is. After a while, let Baba come over to check and we'll know. As for you, hurry up and grow, complete your molting growth, and prepare to conceive your first God-given Seed!"

"Understood." Du Zhu's mind suddenly opened up and he asked, "Banbu, our members of Li Bamboo Peak are constantly improving their strength, and the interval between molting and growth is getting longer and longer. What if a God-given Seed is born in the future, and coincidentally there are no members on the mountain who can be promoted in a short period of time? What should we do then?"

Banbu said, "If it's a bamboo species, send it to Fire Bamboo Mountain. If it's another plant species, send it to Fragrant Torreya Peak."

Du Zhu said, "What about the income? How is the income calculated?"

Currently, all the God-given Seed output of all members of Li Bamboo Peak is pooled together and sold together. Everyone then purchases the Origin Power food needed for growth as needed, which is equivalent to a primitive collective system.

There is definitely no problem within Li Bamboo Peak, which is extremely rich. Gradually, there are too many Origin Stones to spend. Everyone gets along harmoniously, but outside of Li Bamboo Peak...

Banbu said, "Let's talk about it when we have it. At that time, I will set a set of rules that can convince everyone."

...

Flowers bloom and wither, and bamboo fruits begin to form.

The Holy Bamboo God-given Seed fruit slowly absorbs natural Origin Power, and Origin Power genes unique to Origin Power plants begin to proliferate in the genetic code.

When the bamboo fruit grows to the size of a pea, Banbu brought Baba over.

"Baba, this is the Holy Bamboo God-given Seed. Scan and check it to see what type of strengthening effect it belongs to."

"B series, strengthens physique," Baba said in a very bad mood.

Banbu asked, "More specifically?"

Baba said, "This is the second time I've observed the growth of Origin Power plant seeds. There is no extra relevant data in the database. How can I calculate it?"

Banbu said, "Baba, then you stay and collect data."

"No power," Baba said angrily, "Banbu, I heard Bai Chi say that you are going to leave Li Bamboo Peak again? Are you still going to that Crimson Crow Mountain or whatever?"

Banbu said, "That's next year's business."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!

Baba said, "Then you take me to the Orchid Mountains this year, I need to replenish my power!"

Banbu did think of a way to sneak into the Orchid Mountains wreckage to charge Baba, and he calculated the time: guarding the Holy Bamboo God-given Seed to mature, the time enters autumn, and a round trip takes more than a month...

It's too late. If the Northern Wilderness Beast Clan makes a move, it will definitely go south in late summer and early autumn, and the autumn fruit ripening season will be the time to stir up trouble. At that time, I must stay at Li Bamboo Peak.

Banbu said, "Baba, I've thought about it. Bamboo Sea expansion requires a large reserve of water resources. After I return from Crimson Crow Mountain, I will plan to build a high-mountain reservoir, located 5 kilometers northwest of Li Bamboo Peak, 1 kilometer in length, 100 meters in width, trapezoidal, and 3 meters to 25 meters in depth."

"I can build a small hydroelectric power station for you along the way. Spring and autumn rainy seasons, midsummer rainstorms, and dry seasons will all release water, which can provide you with a relatively stable supply of a large amount of electricity."

Baba began to calculate. She had collected a lot of climate data over the years, and quickly came to the conclusion that hydroelectric power stations are much more reliable than wind power stations. Unable to hide her joy, she asked, "Banbu, you don't dare to lie to me, right?"

Banbu said, "How dare I lie to you."

"Humph! That's more like it," Baba said, "Hold me higher, I still need to collect some data."

"Check it carefully," Banbu held Baba high, scanning the Holy Bamboo God-given Seed.

In the following time, Baba stayed outside the bamboo forest, dividing the day into 24 time periods, regularly collecting the growth data of the God-given Seed.

...

5 kilometers outside the northwest side of the Li Bamboo Peak Mountains, the geology is special, all hard granite, with thin and barren soil, making it difficult for vegetation to survive normally. It is a wasteland covered with rocks.

This type of geology also has its advantages. The foundation is solid enough. After excavation, just invite a few County Lord-level insect warriors with earth and stone abilities to come and help, and a little reinforcement will make it a very good high-mountain reservoir.

The expansion of the Bamboo Sea was suspended, and Banbu first sent Big Bear to clear the rocks on the mountain: the Iron Sand Palm directly patted them into powder, which drifted away with the wind.

The Bamboo Rat warriors, led by Rat King, have more things to do. In their spare time, they go over to dig a little, first leveling the terrain, and excavating the drainage ditches.

Seriously digging is a huge project, and that will have to wait until Banbu returns from Crimson Crow Mountain before making detailed plans.

No matter how good the Bamboo Rat warriors are at digging, after all, there are only seven of them in total, including Bai Chi, who refused to participate in physical labor after joining the combat team as deputy captain, and only thinks about fighting all day long.

Banbu had calculated that after the Northern Wilderness Beast disaster is resolved, after the autumn harvest celebration banquet, he would leave the fellow clan warriors who participated in the banquet to help dig for a few days. They have been eating and drinking for free for so many years, and they should contribute a little, right? With many insects, the strength is great, and it should be easy to dig out the reservoir.
