Chapter 205 There is a rough stone in the banyan tree
The dead brothers have been sent back to the future base for a grand burial.
Chu Xi took everyone outside the international base and found that the cut banyan tree did not grow again.
"Is it true that as long as we continue to cut down, all the banyan trees will be cut down?"
Wang Hao scratched his scalp, always feeling that this idea was a bit crazy.
"Blue Star is so big. If you want to cut down all the banyan trees, do you know how long it will take?"
Fu Chunyang was speechless, this silly kid was always so naive.
"What to do?"
“Just cut off the areas we need to live in?”
Chu Xi didn't think of how to deal with these banyan trees for the time being, but it was necessary to cut down the surrounding banyan trees.
With so many trees on fire, it would be extremely dangerous.
"Don't cut down the trees yet. Those people in the outer city have nothing to do, so let them cut down the trees."
When he went back just now, Tang Sheng said that he was about to develop crops for polar night cultivation, and supplies would be replenished soon, so there was no need to worry about the future.
"Okay, just send a few brothers to guard it."
This task was still handed over to Fu Chunyang. Fu Chunyang was careful and calm, and was the easiest to do such a thing.
Chu Xi continued to walk out for a while, but still didn't get out of the banyan forest.
She tried attacking a few of the largest banyan trees, and found that they were just normal banyan trees. There was nothing special about them except that they grew wildly under the conditions of the polar night.
But these banyan trees had all died out under the extreme cold. How could they suddenly grow back?
Chu Xi looked to the sky, maybe this disaster was caused by aliens again.
But the disaster they created couldn't be that simple?
Could it be Leng Yicheng?
There are so many banyan trees. Although they don't use sunlight, they need a lot of water. They have sucked up the surrounding water sources.
When they came to the international base, all the rivers they passed dried up.
Will these banyan trees die when they can no longer absorb water?
It would save us a lot of effort if we could die naturally.
While thinking about it, I went back and found that most people from the outer city were here. They were satisfied that they could eat by cutting down trees.
Of course, there are some who are dissatisfied, but if they don’t work, they won’t have food to eat, so they have to work.
By the end of the day, several more kilometers had been cleared.
"Sister Xi, I will have the banyan tree dried, and then it can be burned as firewood. This can save a lot of energy."
Fu Chunyang thought of this when he saw more and more banyan trees being chopped down.
"You think very well, it's okay."
Chu Xi agreed very much, and it turned out that it was easiest to leave the matter to Fu Chunyang.
When I got home, the three children came over aggrievedly.
They haven't seen their mother for a day and miss her.
Mr. Leng was here before, and he accompanied the three children, but the three children didn't miss her that much.
Now that Mr. Leng is gone, although there are housekeepers and others taking care of him, the child still prefers to stick to his relatives.
"Sorry, babies, mommy is too busy."
Chu Xi also blamed herself and felt guilty. She brought them into this world, but failed to give them the most companionship.
The three children were very good, and after playing with them for a while, they stopped clinging to Chu Xi.
"Mom, busy! Xiaobao, be good!"
The little girl's big eyes flickered, making Chu Xi's heart melt.
After the little girl finished speaking, she went to find her two brothers to play with.
"Young Madam, I will watch over the children. You can go and rest."
Seeing the tiredness on Chu Xi's face, the housekeeper felt really distressed.
He has no children and has been the housekeeper of the Leng family for so many years. He has long regarded the Leng family as his own. He also treats Chu Xi, the young lady, as his own child.
"it is good."
Chu Xi yawned and went back to rest without any further hesitation.
"Sister Xi, we found something in the cut banyan tree."
Fu Chunyang had someone cut off the cut banyan tree. When the firewood was drying, he found some fine rough stones inside the banyan tree.
"Are these rough stones found on every tree?"
Chu Xi took the original stone, which was much smaller than the two pieces she had found before.
"It should be, because the rough stone was relatively small. We didn't find it at first, but we found it by accident. Later I cut other banyan trees, and most of them found rough stones."
The position of the original stone inside the banyan tree was different. Fu Chunyang spent a lot of effort and cut several banyan trees before finding the original stone.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Chu Xi saw that his face was covered with sawdust and asked him to clean it up first while she went to check it herself.
"It doesn't matter to me. I'm going to get dirty when I get there anyway. Just wipe your face and it'll be fine."
Fu Chunyang didn't care, it was most important to get things done first.
So, the two of them went to the place where the banyan tree was cut.
After discovering the rough stone, Fu Chunyang did not let people in the outer city know about it, but asked his own people to guard it. At this time, his own people cut out several more rough stones.
"Sister Xi!"
Seeing Chu Xi coming, everyone immediately gathered around and handed the rough stone in their hands to Chu Xi.
In fact, these small rough stones are both large and small. The big ones are like one-carat diamonds, and the small ones are just like fine foam. It is really hard for everyone to find such fine rough stones in such a big banyan tree.
It's just that the speed of doing this is very slow. There are so many banyan trees. If we do this to every one of them, we won't be able to finish it even if it takes ten years.
"Don't deal with it yet, find a place to burn the banyan tree and take a look."
The original stone cannot be burned by fire, but the banyan tree can. When it is burned to the end, the original stone will come out on its own.
So, a group of people carried the banyan trees that had been dried earlier to the future base and burned them.
As the fire burned the banyan tree, the original stones inside were exposed.
"Sister Xi, you are still smart."
Fu Chunyang gave Chu Xi a thumbs up: "But if all these banyan trees are burned, will the people in the outer city have no firewood?"
Chu Xi tried it, but found that a single finely broken rough stone had no effect. Only when more than a hundred stones were accumulated, energy fluctuations would be felt.
"Let them burn it and take out the raw stones to exchange for supplies."
It is difficult for ordinary people to save a hundred rough stones. Even if they save a hundred rough stones, they will not use the energy of the rough stones.
"it is good!"
Fu Chunyang hurried to do this. When he heard that there were rough stones in the banyan tree, the people in the outer city were a little wary at first, but they tried many methods and didn't find that the rough stones had any effect, so they gave up.
Instead of studying the use of raw stones, it is better to exchange them for supplies.
I heard that the future base has begun to be in shortage of supplies recently. If we don’t return the supplies earlier, wouldn’t we regret it if we don’t have the supplies in the future?
Therefore, cutting down banyan trees and finding rough stones to exchange for materials became the daily life of people in the outer city.
This time it was as they expected, there were so many banyan trees that they couldn't cut them all down.
