Adventurer of the Elven World

Chapter 559 Fluorescent Grass

Back at the Spirit Center, Xiu took a shower to wash away the exhaustion of the day, but Xiu didn't dare to relax, but picked up those files again.

A stack of thick documents, these things have printed more than 200 pages, one can imagine how much content is inside.

Earlier, he planned to read a few papers in his free time, but he realized that he underestimated them.

I finally understand why Dr. Oki didn't mention the relevant situation before.

There is too much professional knowledge involved in it, and it is not something a beginner like him should start with.

Busy study enriched Xiu's boring night life.

It took him a lot of energy to look up information while watching.

"It's hard~ Why don't I have a system or a chip? It's okay to give me a photographic memory..."

No one heard Xiu's complaints, and even if he heard, no one could understand what he was talking about.

After completing a thesis, I couldn't stand it at all, so I climbed into bed and fell asleep drowsily.

It wasn't until I woke up the next day that I recovered a little.

Looking at the files scattered on the desktop, Xiu realized that this was not a problem that could be solved in a short time, so he had to curb his greedy desire for the system and the laziness he had bred, and prepare to devote himself to studying for a long time.

Get up and prepare everything, then get up and leave this safe place.

Walking out of Nibi City on foot, Xiu stood on the bank of the river and looked back. It was a human city with towering buildings. It was very beautiful, but it was destined not to belong to him...

After crossing the river, Xiu entered the Viridian Forest again.

But this time was different from the previous ones. Having learned the lessons from the last time, he was more prepared, and his equipment had been greatly improved, entering it in a form that was more suitable for the forest.

The route starts from the southeast corner of Nibi City and traverses the entire Viridian Forest.

Two-thirds of the Viridian Forest is a relatively flat terrain. Although there are mountains in it, most of them are scattered and cannot form continuous mountains.

But that is the southern part of Viridian Forest, and in the north, that is, Nibi City, there is the southern range of Mount Tsukimi.

Although the undulating mountains are not too high, they can't stand too much. One mountain climbs another mountain, which is endless, and it is difficult to have a broad view.

It is also because of these topographical problems that it is difficult to build roads. Without roads, those mountain goods and materials that cannot be exchanged for money and supplies lose their meaning. Without resources, it is difficult to develop human gathering places.

Another reason is that the mountains are barren, and most of them have only a thin layer of soil, with solid rocks underneath, and there are no conditions for large-scale reclamation.

Although the mountain forest here is also very lush, the trees and vegetation are only of average height, and compared with the towering trees that Xiu has seen before, they seem very short.

This is why there are not countless towns and villages in the outer forest near Nibi City like Vikipan City.

But there are also special products here, that is, the mines in the mountains...

Another abandoned mine.

Xiu stopped and looked up at the situation here.

It has been a few days since he came in, and he can often see some mines along the way, but most of them have been abandoned for many years, and some are just caves excavated by prospecting.

For these places, repair is often just a simple investigation, and there are some elves inhabiting these mines.

Among them, there are more rocks and grounds, and of course there are so many supersonic bats that make the scalp tingle.

As for this mine~
Xiu took a flashlight and stepped into it, carefully observing the surrounding situation.

There is nothing very strange, similar to those places before.

Xiu lost interest for a while, and when he was about to exit, he found a grass on the side of the mine, its shape was quite strange.

The whole is the same as an orchid, but the branches are slender, and a small bell-like flower extends from the end.

The plant was growing right next to a cave wall, leaning on it like that.

The ground is full of broken stones, and there is no light, no water, and no ventilation. How can there be such a plant?

This strange plant immediately attracted Xiu's attention.

Xiu took a few photos with the help of a flashlight, and prepared to record some data. He turned to Cunyu Linzi to ask what kind of plant it was.

It was only after he finished shooting that he discovered a very interesting phenomenon, the plant was actually glowing.

Just as he put down his flashlight to fill out the label.

At that moment, the light staggered away from the plant. Although it was only a weak fluorescence, Xiu was sure of what he saw just now.

If you don't look closely, you may not be able to find this.

It's just that this light blue fluorescence quickly disappeared.

Xiu kept observing and recorded the whole process of the fluorescence slowly dissipating with his eyes.

This phenomenon directly aroused his interest.

There was no fluorescence at the first glance, but a very weak fluorescence appeared after he took the photo, and this fluorescence will slowly fade as time goes by.

So what caused it to glow?

There is only one difference between the front and rear.

Light!

The reason Xiu was waiting for the fluorescence to fade was because he wanted to test his conjecture.

Turn on the flashlight, shine it on the plants, wait 1 minute, then turn off the flashlight.

Sure enough, the small bell hanging on the plant was emitting a faint fluorescence, and because the time was longer than before, the fluorescence lasted longer this time, about 40 seconds or so.

"It lights up when there is light, and dims when there is no light. Why is this effect so familiar? Could it be... a solar-powered flashlight?"

Xiuzhen became more and more curious.

Only this time he took out a pen and paper and a timer, and he also installed a sleeve to adjust the size of the aperture on the flashlight.

Xiu took out some environmental monitoring instruments, squatted in a corner to study the plants, and tested them step by step, from the leaves to the branches to the flowers. After a series of tests, it was finally determined that the light energy was absorbed through the leaves, and the conversion efficiency was...

After recording the relevant data here, Xiu turned his attention to the surroundings.

After inspecting the mine for a while, Xiu found some similar plants, but they hadn't grown up yet.

After confirming that it was not an isolated plant, Xiu selected three small ones and dug up the whole plant
But this time it was not for making specimens, but to put them in a container temporarily modified from an egg incubator.

Constant temperature and humidity, covered with a layer of black cloth, used to shade.

There is no way, Xiu is still not sure what will happen to this plant when it is exposed to light for a long time, so it can only be set according to the conditions in the ruins.

I believe that there will be new discoveries in the hands of the expert Cunyulinzi.All he is responsible for is discovering things.

After finding a new plant here, Xiu continued to move towards the depths of the forest.
