Astral Cockroach

Because Bamboo was small, the first biogas digester he built was also small in scale. The first filling produced little biogas slurry and not much biogas water.

After only two rounds of irrigation and fertilization, the biogas water and most of the biogas slurry were almost used up.

He refilled with water, added materials, and sealed it for fermentation.

Currently, this biogas digester could be used as a stopgap measure. More time was spent clearing weeds from the newly grown bamboo forest, both to accumulate grass leaves and to help the bamboo saplings grow.

He spent the days weeding and the nights deducing cultivation methods, combining physical labor with mental brainstorming, without neglecting either.

The number of caves where he carved and recorded the deduced diagrams and texts continued to increase, reaching as many as 11. Starting with 9 basic structural diagrams, he depicted them step by step in detail. The total number of drawings gradually exceeded 300, with various textual annotations exceeding 100,000 words.

The greatest difficulties in deducing the cultivation method were two: the body's bloodline and heart structure were too complex; the number of hearts increased with each molting evolution.

Through the records in the illustrated book, comparing the increase in hearts after multiple molting evolutions, he gradually figured out the pattern.

Bamboo currently had a clue. He would first deduce a set of "universal cultivation methods" corresponding to the current number of hearts as a basic template, and then, with each evolution, adjust and modify it according to the changes in the number of hearts.

Since there was a pattern to the increase in the number of hearts, the changes in the cultivation method could certainly be improved according to its pattern, and the difficulty would not be too high.

With a clear direction, the final stage of the cultivation method deduction officially began.

Bamboo opened up a spacious new nest chamber, specially used to record the finally deduced basic cultivation method, so as to correct it at any time.

The spring deepened day by day, and after the height of spring came early summer.

In the jungle, birds chirped, beasts roared, and reptiles hissed, rising and falling one after another, singing the grand scene of life's reproduction.

Li Bamboo Peak.

The height of the three Life Seed Xun Grasses exceeded 200, the leaves were broad and thick, the leaf veins shone with purple light, and they were strong and flourishing. The ears of grain revealed their tips, and they were about to bloom and bear seeds. Obviously, this year, two batches of Xun Grass seeds could be harvested in the summer and autumn seasons.

The height of the two Life Seed Sunlight Fruit and White Jade Mulberry reached about 60.

The Cypress tree was the slowest-growing tree among all the Life Seeds that Bamboo was currently planting. After reaching a height of 30, the slowness became even more pronounced. It had only grown 5 taller in nearly a month, and was currently only 35 tall.

The Iron Saber Tree saplings were even slower. When the sapling height reached about 15, it seemed to suddenly stall, and it would take ten days or half a month to grow a new leaf, growing a tiny bit taller. Bamboo was very annoyed. Growing so slowly meant that the fragile saplings needed to be carefully cared for, otherwise they might be scorched to death by the scorching sun of summer.

The development of the Li Bamboo Life Seed was completely opposite to that of the trees. With sufficient rain and sunlight, it grew faster and faster, changing every day, rising steadily. Soon, the first bamboo pole was completely grown, reaching a height of about 400.

Unlike trees, bamboo poles no longer develop after they are grown. They absorb sunlight and nutrients, and what develops is the underground stem. After the underground stem grows, it successively draws out 3 more bamboo shoots, which are currently just emerging from the soil and are accumulating momentum for growth.

Soon, the Li Bamboo Life Seed would grow into a clump of 4 bamboo poles, which was the fastest-growing and tallest Life Seed among all of Bamboo's Life Seeds.

Bamboo rested under the Li Bamboo and Xun Grass Life Seeds for a long time every night, absorbing the Origin Power they accumulated throughout the day. The amount was quite considerable, and it greatly helped the growth of a level 9 junior warrior.

On the other hand, the Divine Gift Seed, which was given the greatest expectations and fertilized most diligently, did not develop ideally. One gave birth to three, three gave birth to nine, and nine gave birth to twenty-seven, and then it reached its limit, no longer continuing to divide. The number and height of the leaves of the mother plant and the divided plants were fixed. They absorbed nutrients, sunlight, and Origin Power like crazy every day, but there was no sign of any growth.

With the arrival of early summer, there was no sign of heading, and there was no intention of flowering and bearing seeds. It was simply a waste that only ate and didn't grow.

The tree spirit in the Divine Gift Seed's mother plant developed quite well. The soul became more and more solid and strong, and it learned various ways to express emotions on its own without being taught. Whenever Bamboo approached, it immediately issued arrogant commands: It's time to water; Fertilize quickly; The divided plants are uncomfortable, loosen the soil over there; There is a weed over there that threatens my growth, kill it quickly… …

… …

Early in the morning, Bamboo was cutting grass in a bamboo forest on the hillside when Pútao flew in and landed.

"Bamboo."

"Pútao, long time no see."

Bamboo responded and stopped his movements.

Since Bamboo advanced to a level 8 junior warrior and possessed considerable self-preservation abilities, Pútao had not come again. It had been nearly two months, and Flame Cluster Blady Grass had only come once.

Pútao replied, "Yes, it's been almost two months, right? Spring is the busiest season, and there are many things to be busy with in my territory."

"I understand, Pútao. You are the most hardworking warrior in the Iron Saber Mountains."

Bamboo's words were not flattery. The vigorous growth of Pútao's Life Seed was entirely due to its own diligent cultivation.

Pútao said, "Bamboo, I've seen Li Bamboo's biogas digester. It's so useful. I heard you taught it how to do it?"

Bamboo replied, "Yes, it's a little trick for obtaining fertilizer recorded in the inherited memories."

Pútao said distressedly, "I also want to make one, but the peak I chose to lead is too short. Li Bamboo went around with me, and it said it couldn't find a suitable place to dig a biogas digester. Bamboo, do your inherited memories have any descriptions about solving this kind of problem?"

"… …"

Bamboo was speechless for a while, and said, "You can dig it anywhere."

In order not to occupy the land for plant growth on the hillside, Bamboo opened up a passage inward along the cliff wall, and then dug a biogas digester vertically inside the mountain.

Li Bamboo still failed to understand the principle of the biogas digester, and thought that it must be dug inside the mountain cliff, completely imitating Bamboo's method of making the biogas digester.

Pútao was even more puzzled, and asked uncertainly, "You can dig it anywhere? But, my territory doesn't have a suitable cliff."

Bamboo said, "You don't need a cliff. You can dig directly downward on flat ground. It's best to choose a rock layer, so that it can be sealed and preserve moisture. The key is that the wellhead can't be too big, just enough to accommodate your body to enter and exit. It's also to facilitate the covering and sealing of the slab."

"Oh." Pútao was still at a loss, and said a little embarrassedly, "Bamboo, can I trouble you to go to my territory and help me see where is better to dig."

It is difficult to be flexible without understanding the principle.

These insects don't have any scientific common sense. If you can't explain it clearly, you can only tell them a complete set of methods, and then do it step by step.

Bamboo was helpless, but readily said, "No problem, anytime."

Pútao asked, "Can we go today?"

Bamboo said, "We can go today."

… …

Bamboo followed Pútao to its territory, wandered around, and quickly selected the location of the mountain ridge.

"Pútao, we need to clear the soil in this area."

"A large area?"

"No, just clear a small area."

After clearing the surface soil of the mountain ridge, there was a hard, gray-brown rock layer below.

Bamboo said, "Pútao, just dig vertically downward from here."

Bamboo then used the tips of his forelegs to draw a simple pattern on the ground, and continued, "Look, just dig it into this shape. The smaller the wellhead, the better, and the internal space can be larger, but not too deep."

"After completion, find a stone slab of suitable size to cover it, and cover and seal the surroundings with soil, leaving only a small hole for ventilation."

"Dig two more drainage ditches around the wellhead to guide rainwater and avoid backflow from heavy rain, which would accumulate water in the pool."

"Did Flame Cluster Blady Grass make a biogas digester? You can cooperate. One is below, specializing in digging, and the other is standing above, using snakeskin bags to transport stones. The efficiency will be very high. It is estimated that the work can be completed in two days."

… …

Pútao was a little smarter than Li Bamboo. Bamboo explained in detail the principle of "biogas bacteria" decomposing plants, and it could roughly understand that it was a very, very small, single-celled insect that didn't like air that ate plants. The biogas digester was used to raise insects, and biogas water and biogas slurry were insect excrement.

It understood bacteria as "insects", probably, there was nothing wrong with that, right?

Bamboo couldn't correct it, so he could only acquiesce.
