End Times Botanical Paradise [Infrastructure]

Jiang Mo manipulated the root system of the mutated bamboo to continue downward.

At regular intervals, a section of bamboo joints is born to reach the ground, and after that is the ventilation hole of the initial tunnel.

He used his fibrous roots to feel the humidity of the surrounding soil and the pressure around the soil, and quickly circled the area of ​​the coal mine without touching any seawater.

After finishing all this, Jiang Mo checked the circled coal mine area again. It is estimated that this area is enough for the workers to dig for a year, and then he escaped from the integration state.

It was already dark outside, Wei Jing lit a bonfire in Yuanyuan, and everyone chatted in low voice while cooking.

Seeing Jiang Mo coming out, everyone stepped forward to greet him, "It's over?"

Jiang Mo nodded, taking advantage of the distribution of underground plants in his mind, he drew a simple sketch on the blueprint provided by Lin Xieyi.

Jiang Mo: "Is it enough for a year's mining?"

Lin Xieyi was excited: "Two years are enough."

The steel mills and iron mines have been idle for so long, just waiting for the coal mines.

Now that the coal mine has finally been discovered, why not mine it quickly?

Originally Xiaogushan had a surplus of manpower, Jiang Mo even thought about transferring some of Xiaogushan's manpower to Yingguang Island to help him build roads.

This is good. Once coal is discovered, steel mills, iron mines, and coal mines all need a lot of workers.

Not only is there no one to help him build roads anymore, he also has to transfer the road builders he saved with great difficulty to dig coal in Xiaogushan.

But Jiang Mo also knew in his heart that digging coal was naturally more important than building roads.

With coal, there is a guarantee of heating, and the islanders can finally avoid the cold in winter.

In addition, the steel plant can really operate, and the steel used for the infrastructure of Fluorescent Island will no longer be a problem.

In addition, initial industrial products such as kerosene and coal tar followed.

Although these are useless right now, after navigation, they can be used to trade with other islands that need chemical supplies.

Also, islanders can light kerosene lamps!

The facilities of Fluorescent Island are better than Xiaogushan, and the prices are cheaper than Xiaogushan. Jiang Mo originally thought that the process of transferring employees to Xiaogushan would not be smooth, but who knew that as soon as the news came out, the employees enthusiastically signed up.

"Xiaogushan's subsidy is not much higher." Jiang Mo looked at the registration form, somewhat puzzled.

Fang Nan was so angry that he threw the "anti-roll agreement" on the table, "When I signed the anti-roll agreement, I forgot to include Xiaogushan in it."

That is to say, all the applicants are reformers?

Jiang Mo was speechless.

In fact, the purpose of signing the anti-roll agreement at the beginning was mainly to fear that the reformed crowd would affect the views of normal islanders.I am afraid that the islanders will intentionally injure their bodies for transformation in order to make money.

If the reformers gather together to work, they are willing to get involved with each other, even if they work with eight hands, Jiang Mo doesn't mind...

certainly.He is not some black-hearted capitalist.

Let the reformed people go to work, the coal mine must pay wages according to the amount of output, so that the workers can earn more money, and the coal mine can improve production efficiency, which can be regarded as your wish.

The miners were quickly recruited, and Lin Xieyi also took his technical team and stayed in Xiaogushan for the time being.

The solar panels are not enough, and the coal mines can only use the most primitive method to dig coal manually. The first batch of coal dug out is smelted into coke and sent to the steel factory for steelmaking.

After the steel was produced, Lin Xieyi led the technical team to make wind turbine components. They would not leave Xiaogushan until all the wind turbines were installed and the coal mine was powered on.

The work is not expected to be completed until September.

After taking care of the other things in Xiaogushan, Jiang Mo returned to the farm and continued to study his transportation business.

The underground transportation business failed to develop, so Jiang Mo refocused on the ground transportation business.

He now has two ideas, one of which has basically taken shape.

This is what he has been thinking about for a long time.

If you want to use plants for island-wide transportation, the plants you use must either have a huge body size or survive without the soil.

In view of the fact that the evolution of a plant with a huge body will be much more difficult, his choice is the air pineapple.

Air pineapple is a general term for a class of plants in the genus Tillandsia. The root system of this type of plant has no function except to fix the plant.

They absorb inorganic matter and moisture in the air through their leaves, and are extremely rare plants that do not require soil and can survive only in the air.

But probably because the life level of this plant itself is not high, no matter how hard Jiang Mo tried, the evolution level of the air pineapple could not be raised.

This time, Jiang Mo decided to change his mind again, and first use the hybridization potion provided by the system to hybridize air pineapple and Mr. Octopus.

Yes, Mr. Octopus.

After all, the most evolved animal that Jiang Mo can think of, and the only one that can maintain reason, is Mr. Octopus.

The hybridization potion is equivalent to a potion that forces species to undergo fusion evolution.

Jiang Mo discussed with the cat for a long time, bribed Zhang Yuanzi, and said a lot of good things for him, only to get a pinch of cat hair and a drop of blood from Mr. Octopus.

He put cat hair and cat blood into a petri dish, put a few air pineapple seeds on it, and took out the hybridization potion that had not been used for a long time.

The air pineapple used for hybridization, Jiang Mo chose a plant called Usnea pineapple, which is also called "old man's beard" in the common saying.

This plant looks like a hanging beard. After Jiang Mo's initial evolutionary adjustments, it can grow to more than two meters long.

Hybridization results come out quickly.

Jiang Mo put the hybrid seeds into the breeding field, and they were quickly evaluated.

[Variation Songluo Pineapple A01: It likes light, and besides, it wants to have the word cat in its name. 】

Jiang Mo ignored the second half of the sentence and nodded in satisfaction.Another phototropic plant.

Phototaxis plants have relatively large operating space.

However, when the mutated seeds were grown to maturity, Jiang Mo took out the baffle to block the sunlight on the plants like he did with sunflowers, but found that the pineapple and pineapple hadn't changed at all.

Jiang Mo blended into the plant, trying to find out what went wrong, but as soon as he blended in, he got a headache from a persistent resentment, "The surname is cat! The son raised by my blood! The surname is cat! "

what the hell!

Jiang Mo left the plant, frowned and thought for a while.

Cats, right?

He dug out a laser pointer from a corner drawer and opened it.

With a sound of "swish", the mutated Songluo pineapple rushed to the light spot at lightning speed, and stretched out dense vines, trying to cover the light spot.

Jiang Mo: ...

Do you like this light?

It's easy to handle with this feature.

Jiang Mo sat in a special cage, which was tightly tied to the end of the mutated pineapple.

He pressed the button in front of the seat and turned on the laser pointer placed on the "front".

"Whoosh!" The slender vines of the mutated pineapple pineapples flew towards the light spot, the cage shook violently, and after walking less than ten meters, the cage door couldn't bear the pressure, and opened with a bang, Jiang Mo was thrown from the cage go out.

"It's not very good." Zhang Yuanzi hugged Mr. Octopus and observed, "Should we try to appease it? For example, keep the environment moist?"

A water fogger is added to the laser pointer placed on the front of the car.

"Boom." Jiang Mo was thrown away again.

"Or add two wheels under the cage?" Zhang Yuanzi continued to suggest ideas.

"Boom." Not only was Jiang Mo thrown into the air, but the two wheels under the cage were also thrown into the air one after the other.

"Mr. Octopus told me," Zhang Yuanzi patted the cat's head with a smile, "animals walk with their front and back hooves alternately, so they can walk steadily, but plants can't. If you want it to be quiet, you must first turn it into an animal."

Jiang Mo turned his eyes to stare at the black cat, and the black cat turned away guiltily.

So it's still a matter of naming?

Jiang Mo thought for a while, looked at the shape of the Usnea pineapple, and secretly changed the name of [Mutated Usnea pineapple A01] in the system.

Changed to [mutated snake vine].

"Boom."

Jiang Mo stood up with his waist supported. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a rather humane smile on the face of Mr. Octopus' kitten.

You wait for my world tree to grow up.

He sighed and turned the system back on.

【Mutated Cat Vine】.

After changing the name, everything became normal again.

Jiang Mo sat calmly in the crumbled special cage, pinching the watch to calculate the speed.

Without wheels, the cat cat vine can walk very smoothly, half of its branches and leaves can half-wrap the cage, and the other half of the branches and leaves chase the laser pointer and crawl forward.

If you look closely, you can notice that the tips of its leaves stand up, and each leaf is like a thin tentacle, walking on the ground.

The cat cat vine can travel at a speed of almost 40km/hour, which is considered fast for plants.

What Jiang Mo has to solve now is to set the "driving" track for it.

First of all, this kind of plant is difficult to control. Jiang Mo will definitely not sell it as a means of personal transportation. He doesn't want his island to be full of large bumper cars every day.

And how to make it walk on the established track, and the track can include the entire island...

My thoughts went back to the ground transportation at the very beginning.

The next day, the residents of Fluorescent Island opened their eyes as usual, did a simple cleaning, and went to work.

The weather is getting warmer and the wind is still balmy, but the residents always feel that something is not right.

Suddenly a person thought of looking up at the sky.

"What is in the sky?!"

"Looks like... a tree?"

Overnight, a huge tree covered almost the entire island.

It rises toweringly from the center of the island, with branches criss-crossing above the head.

It is like a banyan tree, with a thick air root rooted in the soil at every distance between the branches, which not only plays a fixed role, but also seems to be some kind of hub.

If someone has seen the world tree, they will be surprised to find that this tree is very similar to the world tree. It is bare, has no leaves, only buds.

All the vitality is hidden in the depths of the branches and buds.

But it is different from World Tree.

The branches of the world tree are twisted, but its branches are in the shape of grooves, like a slide in a park.

The groove is 1.5 meters wide and one meter high on both sides, a bit like the top of an ancient city wall.

"It's too spectacular!" Li Mei was led by Jiang Mo, walked to the center of Yingguang Island, and saw a thick tree trunk with a diameter of more than ten meters.

"That's right." Jiang Mo looked tired, but couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"I hesitated for a long time, whether it is better to build a transportation hub made of plants, or a cement transportation hub." Jiang Mo said.

"Probably because of pre-apocalyptic thinking. Although the plant hub is easier to maintain, I always feel that the cement hub is lighter and less prone to traffic accidents." Jiang Mo continued:

"Especially the material you petrified, it is definitely the lightest and strongest stone."

Li Mei was stunned.

She pointed at herself with a gloved finger, "Me?"

She looked up at the towering giant tree, her face was full of absurdity, "You mean, let me petrify this tree?"
