Wang Qi considered whether to manually transport some soil to plant trees by the small lake, but in the end he decided not to do so.
First of all, it is currently impossible to determine the composition of the soil outside the pit and what quality ratio it can provide for the growth of the sacred tree, so a rich number must be selected for transportation.
For example, the plant body is planned to be ten tons. Calculated based on 85% of the non-soil weight, it is mainly water and its composites, and the soil bears the remaining 1.5 tons of mass. When the soil composition is unknown, these 1.5 tons can only be calculated as 5% effective mass or less.
The soil that has been transported and piled without natural settlement is either too dense and makes it difficult for plants to grow, or it is too loose so that there is not enough contact area. At least twice the planned volume must be transported.
In order to obtain 1.5 tons of nutrients, at least 60 tons of soil must be transported.
Of course, normal perennial plants do not actually need such a high soil nutrient ratio, but in order to speed up development, the sacred tree does not have so much time to synthesize resources.
In short, the amount of work required to transport the soil to the small lake is a bit large, and there are still hidden dangers such as the root system not being strong enough. It is better to plant directly outside the pit and wait a few more days.
After planting a small tree and running back for a while, Bai Xiaojiao ran out of mileage and no longer wanted to move.
Its mileage is only about 200 kilometers, and the existing camp is about 150 kilometers away from the edge of the pit, which is indeed a bit difficult for it.
It fell to the ground, and Wang Qi was not angry. After all, he had expected this kind of thing. He secretly wanted to have a few words with Li and came down to build a temporary camp.
Bai Xiaojiao's armor was very large, especially the breastplate that stood up. Wang Qi and Li Xiang leaned against it and hid inside, basically unaffected by the cold wind. In this way, the two of them can directly lean against Bai Xiaojiao and put its armor on the other side to form a simple nest.
There is also a satchel on its armor, which carries a meal of food for it. Wang Qili thought more simply, use [fireworks] to bake a barbecue stuffing, stuff it in a cake and eat it.
The dry food is either dried meat or dry biscuits. The taste of biscuits with dried meat is not ordinary bad, it is on a chewy level.
These meat fillings are freshly made from hunting monster meat, and are packed in stainless steel lunch boxes. Just heat them up when eating. Anyway, the weather is not worse than the freezer layer of the refrigerator, and even the air cooling speed is faster, not to mention monthly Forget it, it will definitely not smell bad after eating it for a few days.
Bai Xiaojiao's own food is semi-dried meat, because the monsters he captures are very small and not large, so feeding them is quite time-consuming.
It's okay to let it eat by itself, but it is very "tired" now, so if you let it eat by itself, some particularly small pieces will be wasted.
The two of them had eaten by themselves and while feeding Bai Xiaojiao, Li Xiang asked:
"When we get out of here, do we have to prepare to go back?"
"Want to go back?"
Li Guang nodded after a while: "Well, I always have to go camping and have little chance to swim, so I am more comfortable at home."
Wang Qi didn't know whether she really thought so or was taking care of his plan. He hugged her and said, "Let's play along the Goddess Sea for a few days and then go to the place where we planted trees to find some helpers. The next step is to wait for the news. You You can list out what functions you want for your residence on the road, and then we’ll see if we can adjust the structure of the banyan tree there.”
"It's too remote there. Can we get the news in time?"
"No problem. For information, just find a nearby chamber of commerce to do the designated entrustment."
The place where the banyan tree is planted is located outside the northwest corner of the Thunder Kingdom, which is considered to be the south-central area of the main land. Although it seems to be abandoned due to the influence of the magic disaster, the location is very good. No matter which direction the door opens from next time, there is plenty of time to move. .
Wang Qi also thought clearly about obtaining information.
It is indeed good to rely on the prophecies of the Light Church, but even if they go to the Light Church's sphere of influence, they may not be able to access relevant information as they are not believers at all. If they inquire too much, it may lead to investigations or even conflicts.
The Chamber of Commerce line is easier to handle and there will be no worries.
Under normal circumstances, the Chamber of Commerce mainly relies on large and small caravans for information transmission, and the moving speed of caravans is limited by road transportation conditions. The distance span exceeds a thousand kilometers, so information efficiency is difficult to guarantee.
But through delegation, the efficiency problem can be completely solved.
The Chamber of Commerce has an expedited mail system, which can be understood as a system similar to a post station. However, the Chamber of Commerce will not set up a post station on the roadside. You need to go to the lowest town-level office to change horses.
But even so, the average daily delivery distance of urgent letters can exceed 200 kilometers. Assuming that the incident point is 2,000 kilometers away from the banyan tree, the news can be received within ten days.
There is also a premise for this, that is, the chamber of commerce in the area where the incident occurred will consciously spread the news to the area where the banyan tree is located as soon as possible.
This requires a pre-entrustment, and it is a form of casting a wide net, which will be a waste of money.
The specific costs and methods will still need to be discussed at the chamber of commerce at that time.
Back at the scene, the couple and Bai Xiaojiao spent the night in the wild before returning to the camp the next day.
From then on, I would go to the pit again every five days.
When he returned to the camp for the second time, the students finally couldn't help asking him what he was doing near the pit.
Wang Qizhi said: "Plant trees."
The students looked confused: "Tree???"
Wang Qi nodded: "When we wait for our Black Forest Magic Academy, you will have the opportunity to see many magical trees. They can be buildings or city walls. This time I will use them to explore the situation under the magic well."
"Tree? Building? The tree house of the elf in the storybook?"
"It's not the same. Just keep looking forward to it. You'll know when you see it."
Get over the student lake and advance day by day.
The students' research also made progress. They collected pumice and the inside of the small rock puppet... The rock puppet was finally opened, and they discovered a grain structure that was different from the rock itself.
The scale is very small, with an average diameter of no more than 2 mm. They are not closely connected and have no special color. They are easily confused with the ubiquitous silica grains.
Students who were leisurely enough confirmed through many experiments that this kind of crystal grain was the culprit in forming the natural magic circuit.
The distribution of crystal grains in the stone is three-dimensional. Since the crystal grains are not completely connected, they need to reach a certain magic intensity to activate, and the magic circuit formed is very random. The connections generated after each charging are different. exactly the same.
Theoretically, if you randomly find a stone with a certain grain density in the central area of the magic well, and activate it repeatedly an unlimited number of times, it will always form floating, puppet core and other effects, and there may even be explosive magic formulas.
It's a pity that Fountain of Youth Academy is not a paper-first school. Otherwise, by relying on the public publication of this thing, four students would be able to collect enough citations to be teachers for a lifetime.
The well exploration work was a little later than planned. An adjustment was made midway and the work was completed on the seventeenth day.
This adjustment allowed Wang Qi to directly obtain underground wall samples.
The specific method is to directly let part of the sacred tree float up with samples by drilling, wrapping, detaching from the main body, and adjusting the buoyancy. This method will cause many packages to be stuck in the gaps and cannot get out, but with more collection points, the total There are successful ones.
After this wave of extraction, when the seeds were removed from the sacred tree beside the pit, it was almost turning into firewood.
There are dozens of samples obtained, two of which have characters, but unfortunately neither of them are recognized, and the number of characters is too few.
Bai Xiaojiao selected a few pieces within the load limit and took them away and showed them to the students. The students didn't recognize the word. It was probably an ancient regional script.
What is not shown to the students are solid wood samples that can express indicators such as the temperature and magic power of the rock formations under the cave. These will be taken back to the kingdom for analysis.

It's not that I want to recreate the magic well, I just want to see if I can use it to provide some assistance to basic magic research.
