Inside the package Mosaya opened was a small pile of purple moss, each one very small.
Because of Mona's father's caution, these purple moss are well preserved and look very energetic.
Mosaya carefully held the package and handed it to Xiaobai and introduced: "This is purple moss, which is one of the mosses commonly used by our family. It is very suitable for growing in the desert."
Xiaobai nodded, and while observing the purple moss, asked: "Tell me carefully."
Mosaya immediately said: "Purple moss is a basic moss. It likes sunlight. The more sunny the place, the more vigorously purple moss will grow. The biggest feature is that it grows rapidly. As long as there is enough water, purple moss will grow quickly.
It will form a large area, and their roots will firmly grasp the sand and hold it in place."
Hearing this, Xiaobai raised his head, looked at Mosaye, and then at Mona's father. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these oasis tribesmen are really desert guards, and they are very good at preventing and fixing sand.
This purple moss is somewhat similar to the Zerg carpet in the previous game "StarCraft", with super strong reproductive capacity.
Mossaya opened several other packages, which were also filled with moss.
The moss inside each package is different. In addition to purple moss, there are also turquoise green moss, aqua blue moss, and even some strange moss, such as edible black moss.
Green moss, blue moss, etc. are all familiar to basic moss mossaya, but specially cultivated moss moss such as black moss is less clear.
Each oasis tribe has its own unique plants, which is related to the different directions of their research.
Mona's father's tribe likes to study mosses, and they have many types of mosses on hand.
Xiaobai looked at Mona's father and asked: "How long does it take for these moss to grow?"
Mona's father scratched his head and said: "The fastest growing one is purple moss. As long as there is enough water and sunlight, it can keep growing and spread very quickly. Green moss is more difficult and cannot adapt well to too hot environments.
The speed is relatively slow and is usually paired with purple moss."
Xiaobai understood and made a decision: "Plant today. Let me see what you can do. Just start from the border of this forest and see how fast it grows."
Naturally, Mosaye and Mona's father would not object. The three of them left the leaf house and found a boundary.
Xiaobai, who was planting moss, didn't understand. He looked at Mosaye and Mona's father with interest.
Mona's father ran back to the leaf house and looked for some big leaves from the house.
After returning from the house, Mona's father began to dig a hole.
Seeing the movement here, the Oasis tribe members began to gather around. When they saw the moss in Mosaye's hand, they knew what to do.
Mona's father quickly dug a sand pit twenty centimeters deep, put leaves in it, laid it on the ground, and then began to cover it with sand.
Water resources have always been precious resources in the desert. If you want purple moss to survive, you need enough water. But now there is sand everywhere. Even if you plant purple moss and water it, it will still seep into the sand.
The water that purple moss can get is still not enough.
Laying leaves underneath is to prevent water from seeping into the sand.
Once the purple moss begins to grow over a large area, it doesn't matter, just water it as you like.
After filling the sandpit, an Oasis tribesman brought water and handed it to Mona's father.
Mona's father first made a circle with the remaining leaves to make the water more concentrated and not seep into the sand too quickly, then took the water and poured it on top.
When the sand was completely soaked, Mosaya came over and spread the moss on the sand.
Xiaobai asked from behind: "Is this good?"
Mosaye turned back and said with a smile: "Then we can leave it to my tribe. We can just wait."
That small piece of purple moss is only ten centimeters in diameter.
Xiaobai and Mosaye left, and the rest was taken care of by the Oasis tribe. There was no need for Xiaobai to worry about how to promote the growth of purple moss and watering.
Time passed and it was already evening. After dinner, Xiaobai took Mosaye and Mona's father to the place where purple moss was planted.
The scene in front of him surprised Xiaobai.
The purple moss, which was originally only about ten centimeters in diameter, has now spread out on the ground, forming a carpet-like moss group of about thirty centimeters in diameter.
In just one day, no, just half a day, the purple moss can expand to such a scale, which is amazing enough.
No matter what kind of plant, the growth rate is slow. Purple moss is also a plant, and the growth rate should also be slow.
But everything in front of him has overturned Xiaobai's understanding of purple moss.
He thought for a while and felt that apart from the fact that the purple moss itself grew faster, the Oasis people should have done a lot of work.
Xiaobai's guess was correct, the Oasis tribesmen were born with the ability to stimulate the growth of plants.
Without such ability, Mosaye would not be able to complete the greening of Samsara Manor by himself. Although he had slaves in his hands, those slaves only watered and fertilized.
Purple moss, as the basic moss, has tenacious vitality, fast growth rate, sufficient light and water, and the birth of alien species in the oasis. It is understandable that it developed like this in just half a day.
This situation will not last forever. At the beginning, you can rely on the oasis aliens to promote the growth of moss. When the purple moss has a sufficient range, you must let it grow on its own.
It is always promoting birth, no matter how many oasis alien races there are, it will not be enough, even if it is exhausted to death.
Xiaobai asked, the night is the slow growth period of purple moss because there is no light.
Another day passed, and Xiaobai came to see it again in the evening of the next day.
The purple moss has grown to a large scale, forming a moss group with a diameter of more than two meters. More oasis aliens have given birth to purple moss here.
The purple moss that was spawned was not forced to encourage growth; it was extremely vital and grew vigorously.
Xiaobai squatted down and looked at the purple moss. Each moss had a crown that was two fingers high and the size of a fingernail, like shrunken willow leaves arranged together.
Under the crown is a dark green stem, with tiny roots extending from the stem into the sand, firmly fixing it to the ground.
Xiaobai curiously reached out and grabbed a handful of purple moss, and lifted it up with slight force.
Purple moss has a very strong grip. After Xiaobai mentioned the purple moss, a lot of sand came up underneath, and the dense roots held the sand in place.
The root system of purple moss is very developed, and the length of the root system is as long as the palm of your hand. Not only are they dense, but they are also spreading to all directions, fixing the sand and soil in place.
No wonder it is one of the best substrates. Such plants are indeed suitable for fixing sand and soil.
