"Gene code?" Chu Munan asked curiously: "What is that?"
"oh……"
When Ruan Xiangxiang said it just now, she realized that she had let it slip.
This time, Chu Munan caught the handle. She rolled her eyes and said, "It's the memory from the depths of the soul you mentioned. I named it the genetic code."
"Oh, this name is quite special." Chu Munan thought for a while and asked: "I can understand the 'password', but how do I understand this gene?"
Ruan Xiangxiang explained: "The 'base' is the foundation, the 'cause' is the cause and effect, and the so-called 'gene' is the cause and effect from their foundation."
"This is a wonderful explanation." Chu Munan praised: "Sister, your explanation has quite a Zen flavor in it."
"Let's not talk about this. You haven't said it yet, why do you need to use strong alcohol?"
Ruan Xiangxiang changed the subject.
As he spoke, he picked up one and crushed it.
Ruan Xiangxiang also understands that the preservation of many medicinal materials requires the help of certain other materials.
Chu Munan pulled her through the sea of red and blue flowers, and soon came to a place lined with rocks.
Alcohol is indeed a catalyst for many drugs.
Chu Munan took out the sandbags he collected and walked into the cactus group with Ruan Xiangxiang, one each.
"It's not that I'm afraid." Ruan Xiangxiang suddenly smiled: "It's mainly because I'm disgusted."
"Generally speaking, our Chinese medicinal materials, combined with liquor processing, will make the effect further and last longer."
He looked at Ruan Xiangxiang's excited look, thought for a moment, and asked, "Does this black stone have a special effect?"
"No." Chu Munan shook his head.
Ruan Xiangxiang suddenly realized that this was the famous cochineal insect.
But then I thought about it, isn’t that what the dye used to dye cloth is like?
Even if you use flowers, they will still be a piece of colored juice when crushed.
Soon, the two walked through the man-eating flower path and came to a field ridge. Below was a trough with all kinds of strange flowers and plants in it.
Immediately, purple-red juice flowed out and stained his hand.
"Then what do you use?"
By this time, they had reached the end of the cactus field.
"Get rich, get rich!"
"No need." Chu Munan shook his head: "However, you need to sprinkle the medicinal wine on your body. It's almost fine now."
After twisting it, each bag weighed about 500 kilograms.
It must have been even scarier when he was dripping with blood, and she could dig a hole to bury herself without changing her expression.
With that said, Chu Munan took the lead and walked towards the man-eating flower path.
"Munan, you don't want to crush these cacti to make dye, do you?"
Chu Munan smiled and said, "Yes, they are cochineal insects."
"Ah, no..." Ruan Xiangxiang shook her head: "The way they bite is too scary. I don't want to wear clothes dyed by them."
"The flowers can also be used as dyes. However, dyes made from pure flower juice are easy to fade after coloring and are not long-lasting. In addition, picking them takes time, so generally speaking, we do not use them as dyes."
Afterwards, he poured out some more and sprinkled it on himself.
He bent down, pointed to a piece of cactus, and said, "Sister, what do you think this is?"
Ruan Xiangxiang bent down and saw pieces of white powdery stuff covering the cactus.
That feeling is so weird, it makes people feel terrified.
It's really hard to tell how big it is here.
It's just that cochineal is just a bug.
I saw a patch of cacti like this in front of me, and it was like there was no end in sight.
In Ruan Xiangxiang's impression, cacti usually grow in the sand.
"Mu Nan, are the dyes you are talking about the little red and blue flowers below?"
"It's not just a special function, it's an energy source." Ruan Xiangxiang said: "In the very distant future, all this energy will be mined, and finding any of it will be a big deal."
Ruan Xiangxiang rubbed her little hands in excitement.
Chu Munan tilted his head and looked at her with a look of disbelief.
"good."
This is not sandy land, so why are there so many cacti growing there?
Later, he carried himself home with a serious injury. This kind of courage is not something that ordinary girls can have.
She did not continue to dwell on this issue, but pointed at his wine gourd.
Chu Munan uncorked the wine, poured some out, and sprinkled it on Ruan Xiangxiang's body.
"Okay, let's go."
This place and the sea of flowers where they are located are two completely different worlds.
The snake gall potion was really powerful. The originally ferocious piranhas turned into cute little ones that gave way and poured to both sides.
"Look, it's purple inside. It's perfect for dyeing cloth."
Ruan Xiangxiang looked at a piece of cactus in front of her and said, "Then let's start collecting."
Ruan Xiangxiang looked at this scene and couldn't help but marvel.
"Actually, the piranha flower is brightly colored and can be used as dye."
"What?" Chu Munan asked.
"You can't grow crops on this black stone land. No grass will grow on it..."
There are many cacti growing among these rocks.
Ruan Xiangxiang remembered that Chu Munan had just said that there was a place for forging weapons here, and couldn't help but look at it.
"Hahaha……"
"Follow me." With that said, Chu Munan took Ruan Xiangxiang's hand and flew down.
Ruan Xiangxiang pointed to the black earth under her feet and asked, "Don't you know what this is?"
Ruan Xiangxiang subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch the white powder on the cactus.
The two collected them for a long time, and finally collected all the cochineal insects into the bag.
"How does this medicinal wine take effect? Do I need to drink it?"
There are six bags in total.
"These...are these all little bugs?"
Chu Munan's hearty laughter rang out.
Chu Munan patiently explained: "The bile of the little green snake will easily dissipate if it is directly exposed to the outside. Therefore, it is put into strong wine to enhance and protect its effect."
Opposite was a piece of charred land. Ruan Xiangxiang walked over and took a look, and found that the soil slope she was stepping on was not a "soil" slope, but a "coal" slope.
"Sister will be scared too?"
It's just that it's a bit...disgusting.
Ruan Xiangxiang quickly took a few steps back.
Unexpectedly, one touch would bring out many soft little insects.
"The distant future?" Chu Munan looked at her deeply: "How can sister know about the distant future?"
"I...I dreamed about it." Ruan Xiangxiang was too happy to think of an excuse, so she made one up casually.
"That sister's dream is really strange." Chu Munan followed her words and asked: "Has the sister dreamed about what this black stone can be used for?"
"It has many uses." Ruan Xiangxiang said with her fingers: "The most common use is to make fire for cooking. A little more advanced, it is used to generate electricity. In addition, a substance called coal tar can be extracted from it.
substance.
This kind of stuff can also be used to dye cloth."
