Chapter 211 Acid-base Tree

That night.

Before leaving for the world of portability, Xu Ming saw several micro chat messages sent to him by Chen Feiman.

"Mr. Xu, the crystal jewelry we have placed in the store in recent days is very popular and is very popular with customers, especially young female customers. Some stores have even become the main force in sales."

"But isn't the pricing strategy we discussed some time ago a bit too conservative?"

"Crystal rings only cost 100 yuan each, crystal bracelets and earrings are priced at 200 to 500 yuan, and crystal necklaces start at 1000 yuan. There are only a few crystal necklaces with sufficient materials, priced at 9999, close to 10,000 yuan... The price is generally not as good as diamond jewelry."

"The cost of artificial diamonds is not much different from that of natural crystals, and artificial diamonds are more powerful than natural diamonds in terms of gloss, purity, aesthetics, etc. Therefore, in principle, our crystal jewelry is not sold at the same price as diamonds, but it cannot be too different."

"And our crystal jewelry has reached a level that no one in the industry can match in the workmanship... This is all thanks to you."

"Mr. Xu, I think our crystal jewelry should increase the price and reflect their true value."

I saw these messages.

Xu Ming replied: "You can adjust the price by yourself based on market feedback. As long as it is not lower than the price set at the beginning, the price you sell diamonds is fine."

"Okay Mr. Xu!"

Chen Feiman, who had been waiting next to his phone, replied in a second.

"I'm going to bed and I'm going to go offline. I'll report if there is any situation tomorrow."

"Mr. Xu Good night (smile)"

...

The world of your own.

After a simple rest, prepare.

Xu Ming continued yesterday's progress and continued to go east.

He had already passed through the red date forest and found that the depth of the wood was only more than 80 kilometers, indicating that the competitiveness was average.

Behind the red date forest, there are fruit trees, coniferous trees, and giant tree species, with an average depth ranging from 20 to 300 kilometers. There are fewer cases of multiple plants living together.

Xu Ming guessed that the main reason for this singularity is that the light resources in temperate/subtropical areas are not as abundant as those in tropical areas, and light represents the ability to absorb carbon dioxide. If the leaves of a certain plant occupy most of the light, then other plants will not be able to obtain enough energy. If the energy is insufficient, the ability to capture carbon dioxide will be weak and can only disappear and become extinct.

Therefore, it is difficult to form a stratification phenomenon of plants.

certainly!

Xu Ming also discovered the phenomenon of a variety of plants living together and a variety of species.

It was in a small low-lying valley, with a swamp pool in the middle of the valley with an area of ​​more than 100 acres.

This swamp pool is very strange. It is not common water inside, but a very sticky, black colloidal substance that keeps bubbled, very much like the oil on Blue Star.

So this valley was named "Oil Valley" by Xu Ming.

As for the bubbles that appear in Gulu, Xu Ming guessed that part of them should be methane (CH4), the main component of natural gas; the other part may be carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by aerobic bacteria after decomposing oil.

It is precisely because there are extra carbon elements to supplement that the plant resources around this valley are extremely abundant, and plant stratification occurs within a radius of 20 to 30 kilometers.

But after leaving the "Oil Valley", it soon returned to monotony.

However, what Xu Ming did not expect was that he flew more than 2,000 kilometers eastward and entered the real "monotonous zone", and then realized the so-called "monotonous" and it turned out to be like this.

This is the real "monotony".

The previous 2,000 kilometers can be called "rich species and dazzling".

Because after entering this special forest, Xu Ming flew at full speed and took nearly two days to reach the foot of a steep mountain range that was thousands of meters high on its edge, and finally ended the long monotony.

The east-west depth exceeds two thousand kilometers.

Obviously, only "overlord-level" plants have the ability to occupy such a vast living space.

But at a height of 100 meters, the plant Xu Ming saw was only more than 30 meters tall, with fan-shaped leaves, and some inverted gourd-shaped fruits formed on the edge of the crown, and a "tube" with a length of 50 cm to 1 meter extending from the head.

besides.

There is nothing else special.

Compared with the "overlord-level" plant javelin tree and cloud cotton tree that Xu Ming had seen, the plant in front of him can only be described as ordinary.

But why can this plant become the overlord?

Xu Ming spent half a day studying and discovered the real mystery hidden on the fruits of the inverted gourd-shaped, large basketballs with long "sharp mouths".

This kind of fruit usually grows together in pairs, and there is a tumor-like bulge structure at the connection of the branches, which extends two fruits in parallel, one with a gray outer skin color and the other with a white outer skin color.

The end of the gourd-shaped fruit extends out of the tubular pointed mouth.

Xu Ming thought of the parallel double-barrel cannon on the battleship.

At that time, he wanted to name this tree "cannon tree".

But after careful study, Xu Ming discovered the horror of this tree.

This tree was soon named "acid-base tree".

Because the gourd-shaped fruits produced on the tree contain liquids with special chemical properties.

The liquid in the gray fruit, measured with PH test strips, showed a strong acidity of PH equal to -2, which is equivalent to concentrated sulfuric acid.

The liquid in the white fruit next to it was measured with a PH test strip, and it showed a strong alkalinity of PH equal to 16, which was equivalent to concentrated sodium hydroxide.

When the liquid in the gray fruit falls to the ground, there will be sizzling white smoke.

The liquid in the white fruit, poured onto the plants, can also cause serious corrosion and damage.

If the human body is directly exposed to these two liquids, it will cause irreversible damage and even lead to death.

Xu Ming also instantly knew why this kind of tree could become the overlord within a depth of more than 2,000 kilometers.

"Ordinary, it's really too domineering."

"If the acid-alkali tree encounters a plant blocking the front, whether it is flowers, plants or trees, spray a little strong acid first, burn the surface and carbonize it, and the watered area will not grow in an instant."

"A few days later, the acidic substances were washed away by rainwater or penetrated into the ground, and the surrounding competitive plants showed signs of recovery. At this time, the alkali solution had almost accumulated. Soak it again and the buds would be watered to death."

"Strong acids, strong alkalis, and strong acids and strong alkalis... and they continue to pour them over and over again."

"No plant can survive in the face of the deadly chemical attack of acid and alkali trees."

"Even the Javelin Tree and the Cloud Cotton Tree, I'm afraid there will be no benefit in the face of the acid and alkali trees, and it will even lose a lot."

"The acid and alkali tree may be the most powerful and deadly plant on this planet."
