Chapter 040 Digging a tree (completed 9000 words, tired)
Before reading the chapter, I hope you all take a look at this. Every time I see the increase in collections, increase in clicks/recommendations, and rewards and reminders for updates, I feel very excited and excited. This is the satisfaction of being supported by you. But
, I really can’t bear the urge for updates. I’m sorry. Because I still have a job, I can’t make more updates. I really can’t bear the 9,000+ enthusiastic book friends who urge for updates.
, it’s not the book friends’ problem, it’s my problem. I’m sorry for the enthusiastic book friends’ support. I hope the book friends can understand.. I promise to update the quality and quantity every day, and then strive to explode on Saturdays and Sundays. By the way, I will save a small draft every day.
hey-hey..
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Everyone had been trekking all the way up the mountain, and when they were only halfway there, they were almost exhausted. Even though the twenty glorious tree diggers had been trained for a long time and had strong bodies, they also felt very tired.
Several researchers found that they had taken it for granted, thinking that the tree on the mountain would be easier to dig than the tree in the valley. Although the jungle was not as dark and dense, it was still more difficult to walk up the mountain than on the flat ground.
"Do you want to change the target?"
"Um, this..."
"Better say goodbye. There's a giant python as big as a truck inside."
Hearing this, everyone who had experienced painful experiences felt a chill all over their bodies: "Who said you wanted to dig in the valley? This week's toilet cleaning task has been taken care of!"
After hearing their conversation, the Twenty Guys looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what they meant. "A python as big as a truck? A copycat online game? I want to play it too!"
"Stop talking and continue on the road!" Academician Liu gave the order.
After 2 hours of arduous trek, we finally arrived at the target. The trunk of this vitality tree is as thick as two people hugging each other, with lush branches and leaves. And its roots are twisted and knotted.
Just the roots exposed on the surface are already as big as half a badminton court.
"Is this a tree being dug up?" Twenty Arhats felt like their young hearts were being ravaged by thousands of grass and mud horses running back and forth.
Seeing how big this tree is, Academician Liu was also stunned: "Xiaomeng, why didn't you say this tree is that big? Oh my god, with this size, how long will we have to dig! And how can we lift it?"
Going down the mountain?"
Hearing the captain blaming himself, Team Leader Meng quickly explained: "Well, Captain Liu, I didn't mean not to say it, because the other 10 trees are also this big, so if you want to transplant, digging this one is definitely the most cost-effective. As for
Regarding transportation, we can try using a helicopter."
"Well, that's all we can do for the time being." Academician Liu had no choice but to bite the bullet and make arrangements. "Don't hurt the roots, and don't hurt any part of the tree."
"Isn't it? You can't hurt it yet?"
"I was originally thinking about amputating its roots so that it can dig faster." Twenty Warriors muttered in their hearts.
After the tasks were assigned, everyone had fun digging trees.
However, after digging for a long time.
"Academician Liu! That's not right. It feels like the tree roots are getting bigger the more you dig them out. The tree roots that originally occupied only half a badminton court are now almost as big as half a basketball court." A researcher said strikingly.
He expressed his opinion, "With this size and speed, it may take a long time to dig. If it takes ten and a half days to dig, the roots will not be able to contact the soil to absorb nutrients, and the tree will die."
"..., my mother, my plan is not comprehensive." Academician Liu wiped his sweat in his heart and shouted, "Stop! Stop! I won't dig today. I'll think of a solution when I go back."
Everyone came excitedly and came back in disgrace. Academician Liu also felt that he was a little foolish and couldn't help but feel extremely ashamed.
When Aoki saw this scene, he thought they were so funny and happy.
After going back that night, everyone gathered together for a meeting to discuss how to dig up the tree.
"According to the road on the mountain, excavators, cranes, etc. will definitely not be able to go up, so we can only use small tools to dig. But we must dig it out quickly, otherwise we are afraid that the tree will die. At this time
It should be best within 3-4 days.”
"If it can't be solved with equipment, we can only increase manpower. I will apply for the secondment of 80 people later, and I will recruit 100 people to dig. In this case, we should be able to complete the digging within 3-4 days."
"As for the transportation of the tree, I thought about it and thought that I should call a helicopter to lift it. But after I calculated it on the computer, based on the volume and density of the tree, it should weigh 20 tons. I just didn't know how to use the helicopter.
Can you bear such a heavy weight?"
"I can answer this." At this time, the captain of the twenty tough men raised his hand. "The Golden Eagle I138-6 helicopter (blind) has a load capacity of up to 25 tons. It is a large load-bearing helicopter developed by the country in 2021.
This requirement can be met.”
Then he continued: "But it is a secretly developed weapon, so I don't know if I can apply for it."
The researchers looked at each other for a few times and laughed. Academician Liu waved his hand and said grandly: "As long as this thing exists, I can apply for it, haha."
"So awesome?! Last year our general wanted to borrow it for a try, but the superiors didn't agree. Can you guys borrow it?" The twenty strong men were a little doubtful of their words.
"Also, the climate and soil analysis must be done as soon as possible; the task of finding a transplant site must also be completed within these 3-4 days, and we must ensure that the transplantation of the vitality tree is not delayed."
"yes!"
In the early morning of the next day, 80 "low-key macho men" with excited faces quietly appeared at the entrance of the village. Like the previous twenty macho men, their hands couldn't help but tremble a little when they saw the two leopards as big as mountain bikes.
.
"Ancient times have invaded the capital!"
Seeing this situation, Aoki considered whether to call the leopard back, otherwise it would be very conspicuous wandering around the village. It is always a troublesome thing if it attracts the attention of interested people.
Now all five zoos in Xishuangbanna have been forced to cease operations by the government, requiring all animals to be released or transported to other zoos outside the province. All zoos have been converted into botanical gardens and continue to operate.
Although this unreasonable policy was opposed by five zoos and the majority of tourists, the government still enforced it regardless.
The Xishuangbanna government has its own difficulties that it cannot express, and it does not want to implement such a "broken policy", but its superiors force it to do so, and as a subordinate, it has to comply.
The top leader of the Yunbian Provincial Government is also very depressed. He doesn't understand why the central government directly ordered this. But the central government has given direct orders. As a subordinate, can he not obey?
At this time, tourists who came to Xishuangbanna discovered that all the zoos introduced in many tourist guides were now gone. When I asked the tour guide, the tour guide also said that all zoos have been forced to close recently due to food poisoning problems. When will
Reopening, no precise answer yet.
"..., food poisoning? When did animals enjoy the same treatment as humans?"
The tourists felt very sorry that they could not see the sunbirds, zebras and other animals they wanted to see.
Early the next morning, the research team led 100 tough men and trekked up the ridge again to their destination. After Academician Liu briefly explained the precautions, he began to do hard work.
"Ah!! Spider!!" When a soldier was drinking water, he suddenly saw a giant spider as big as a basin and with a ferocious face hanging strangely from a tree in front of him. He was suddenly frightened and turned pale.
.
"I%￥￥#, is this still a spider?" The soldiers followed his line of sight and saw the spider silk as thick as pen refills, and the spider that was eating a snake.
In the blink of an eye, the tough men who felt their hearts were as hard as iron were all frightened into a cold sweat when they saw such strange things. Their hands unconsciously touched their waists, trying to find the non-existent gun.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a giant bird that was four times larger than the spider flew out of the jungle, and with its claws as big as the palm of a hand, it fiercely grabbed the giant spider on the ground.
Use force! The claws penetrated deeply into the spider's head, and white slurry visible to the naked eye flowed out of the hole. The big bird flapped its wings and flew away, catching the spider that was feasting just now.
"Hiss!" Everyone was sweating coldly, and they couldn't help but think of one sentence: "Fuck! What is this!"
But the researchers were different. At this time, they looked calm and looked at these 100 strong men with contempt. "Although I don't have a strong physique like you, but I have a brave heart! Well...that's right.
, is a brave heart!" After thinking about it, I couldn't help but raise my head and chest out.
The horrific scene just now obviously left a deep impression on these tough men, so during the following work, they looked up and around warily from time to time.
However, there are some things that can't be avoided without being vigilant.
I saw that the "fragrance" of a group of macho men strongly attracted the army of locusts on the ground. They were coming from all directions tirelessly to welcome this group of guests full of "fragrance". After evolution, although their body shape has not changed, their appetite has not changed.
It has not increased in size, but its crawling speed is faster and its sense of smell is more sensitive.
They have proven with their actions that they are a great family of locusts, and tightening their trousers is of no use at all!
After they approached a person, they quickly climbed over the shoes and trousers, and climbed up like crazy. In less than 10 seconds, they climbed to the waist, and then penetrated into the upper body through the waistband of the wet shirt.
Then he opened his "bloody mouth" and sucked in the "fragrant" skin. "Hmm! It feels so good!"
Other "comrades" also followed suit.
A soldier was unfortunately attacked by locusts.
2 people suffered misfortune.
3 people suffered misfortune.
……．
10 unfortunate things happened.
Finally someone discovered something was wrong.
"Army!! What's wrong with your back?" A strong man pointed at another strong man in horror and shouted in horror.
"Huh?" The macho man couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch his back. It was slippery, sticky, and soft, and his hair suddenly stood up. "Did I drop it? What a ghost!!"
He panicked, waving his arms and legs wildly, jumping up and down, and was extremely panicked.
At this time, their captain held him down with two strong hands. "Why are you panicking? Isn't it just a leech?" After speaking, he calmly opened his shirt and exposed his back.
I saw six or seven densely packed locusts clinging to my back, round and full of blood.
"Ouch!!" Some soldiers were young soldiers who had just joined the army. They had trained very hard, but they had never seen such a terrifying scene, and they couldn't help but want to vomit.
Some other recruits also felt cold and couldn't help but touch their backs with their hands. They didn't know it until they touched it. They were shocked when they found something strange on their backs.
"ah!!"
A panicked scream resounded in the jungle, but finally became quieter under the pressure of two veteran captains.
Then, the captain calmly used a lighter to dispose of the leeches one by one. "You guys! You are still too young. I will take you out for more practice in the future."
After experiencing this, everyone began to be more cautious. Every time they hoed a few times, they would carefully look around to see if there was anything around them, and then check to see if there was anything wrong with their bodies.
Some people are already starting to have a bit of a nervous breakdown!
Although the two researchers who led the team were feeling terrified, they tried to remain calm on the surface, but their erratic eyes betrayed them deeply.
Later, Aoki drove away hundreds of snakes and "passed" them brazenly.
Everyone swallowed: "This place is so scary!"
After the snake swarm, hundreds of 20cm long centipedes passed by to "make soy sauce".
After that, hundreds of poisonous toads of different colors "floated past".
All kinds of scary animals passed by leisurely, which made everyone's scalp numb. One of the researchers who studied plants couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "Mom! I want to go home!"
Everyone felt sorry for Qi Qiyan and no one laughed at him.
Originally, everyone was thinking about spending the night in the jungle to save time on the way back and forth. But now, this idea has long been thrown away to the edge of the universe.
Although everyone wanted to go back and never come to this ghost place again, their strong sense of collective honor still allowed them to stay here and work hard without fear of hardship or fatigue.
The next day, news came from the second research team that after testing, the soil in the botanical garden was suitable for transplanting the Vitality Tree. Although the temperature, humidity and other conditions may not be the same as those in the valley, they can be changed artificially and there should be no big problem.
.
On the afternoon of the third day, after experiencing various "difficulties and twists", all the roots of the tree were finally dug out. There was not much damage, and the entire tree was fixed by numerous cables. That night, they did not leave, but stayed
On the mountain, waiting for the arrival of the helicopter.
Late at night, a huge three-propeller helicopter took advantage of the cover of night and came to the sky above the ridge. It was at least three times larger than an ordinary helicopter.
Domineering! Powerful! Majestic!
These are the only words left in everyone's mind.
The clouds surged and the wind flew! The leaves in the forest were blown up wildly and kept flying in the air.
The 100 heroes below stared at the helicopter with envy, drooling, wishing they could climb up and caress its outer skin, its seats, its glass, and everything about it affectionately.
The favorite of pure men! The symbol of a true man!
