Chapter 73: Crystal Red Grape Tree

Standing near a giant watermelon.

"This kind of watermelon is really too big, at least one or two hundred kilograms, which is even more exaggerated than the space watermelon on Blue Star."

Why is it so huge?

Xu Ming carefully studied it. One should be related to the smaller gravity coefficient in the world. The plant fruits here are generally larger in size.

In addition, he found that the distribution of giant watermelons was relatively sparse, with only one within a radius of about five meters. In addition, he followed the vines, and Xu Ming found that the length of this kind of vines was very amazing. One end could hardly touch the edge, and the other end was about ten meters away.

There seems to be only one watermelon on each melon vine.

Use time and space to cut, cut the outer skin, and remove some melon pulp. The melon pulp appears dark yellow, which is very similar to the melon pulp of Hami melon.

Considering that there are very few melon fruits that are poisonous, Xu Ming did not ask Xiaobai to test the poison and bit him down in one bite.

"sweet!"

Extremely sweet.

And it is very moisture-filled, sweet and crispy.

Xu Ming, who had accelerated his eating speed, couldn't think of any gorgeous words to describe this kind of delicacy, but could only think of one sentence: "It's better than any variety of watermelons on Blue Star!"

After eating a small piece of melon on your hand.

Xu Ming, who felt that he was still unsatisfied, took out another large piece, a triangular cone-shaped portion of about two pounds.

He was about to bite Jianjian, but suddenly stopped, showing a look of confusion on his face.

“No seeds.”

"There are no seeds in the pulp, this is a seedless watermelon."

How could this happen? Most of the plant fruits on Blue Star have seeds, only a very small number of them are not, or some artificially cultivated fruit varieties have no seeds.

However, in the world where you carry, a considerable number of plants have seedless fruits except for the "watermelon" in your hand. As he has observed so far, the types of seedless fruits account for about 1/3.

That is, this type of plant fruit exists only as a function of additional storage of nutrients.

Xu Ming guessed: "There are no animals in the world where the plants have lost the possibility of using animals to eat fruits to spread the seeds, so it is not necessary to wrap a layer of fruit outside the seeds. Storing nutrients has become the main function of the fruit."

"The reason why this seedless watermelon is seedless is that it extends forward by the vines and then grows aerial roots and plunges into the soil, so each section can survive independently. The watermelon fruit collects nutrients. When the time is ripe, it grows forward wildly, expands its living space, and even starves other plants to death, occupying such a large area."

Xu Ming felt that his guess should be close to the truth, just like an arms race, the giant watermelons in front of him are 'ammunition', which accumulate first, then expand, and has the same effect as farming first and then exploding troops.

Of course, most woody plants still have seeds inside, and the fruits are mostly spherical or spherical, and can roll after landing, thereby increasing the spread of seeds.

In short, as long as you analyze the needs of plant growth and reproduction in depth, the appearance shape, fruit characteristics and reproduction methods of many plants can be explained scientifically... This is what Xu Ming learned from the documentary "Man and Nature".

It was already dark.

Open the vortex of time and space and return to the second floor of the villa.

He took out three golden durian bags and ate them as dinner, and threw them away three of them to Xiaobai, who had been wandering around the villa for the past two days.

Xu Ming was also considering whether it was necessary to leave a space-time anchor on the giant watermelon field?

After all, after tasting the taste, he felt that if the golden durian bag could score 100 points, the giant watermelon could score at least 85 points.

After thinking about it, I shook my head and said, "Forget it, the time and space anchor point is very precious and must be used properly. Giant watermelon is pretty good, but it has not reached an unforgettable level. Besides, watermelons have been planted in the healthy vegetable house. After a while, organic watermelons will be eaten. The taste may not be as good as giant watermelons, but it should be fine to get seven or eighty-tenths."

"As for the fruits on the side of the world, unless the score is above 90 points, it is not worth my nostalgia for it."

Xu Ming said in his heart.

However, during the exploration of the next day.

After continuing south for about twenty kilometers, I walked to the foot of a mountain and a fruit with a score of more than 90 points appeared.

This is a woody plant with a height of about fifteen meters.

A magical fruit has emerged from the tree.

The outer skin is red, the flesh is transparent, seedless, and the skin is very thin. Under the sunlight, it is as transparent as crystal, and it is like a ruby ​​emitting a charming halo, which is fascinating.

The fruit is a single size like an egg, but it grows together, like grapes, in clusters, drooping. When it is illuminated by the sun, it is even more eye-catching, as if it is covered with jewelry, shining brightly.

Xu Ming thought of a fruit called Hongti (Hongti is a type of grape) on the Blue Star.

So this kind of fruit tree was named "Crystal Red Tree" by him.

The fruit produced is "Crystal Red Lip".

As for the taste, Xu Ming opened the vortex of time and space, brought Xiaobai here, and then picked a string from the tree, with about a hundred fruits hanging on it and weighing at least seven or eight kilograms.

"Xiaobai, taste it!"

"Jiji~"

He picked one and threw it in front of Xiaobai. It sucked its nose and quickly approached the rabbit's teeth and shoveled it down.

Then Xiaobai accelerated his eating speed, and even the skin and flesh, he picked up all the crystal red and ate it into his stomach.

"Jijiji~"

Xiaobai looked at Xu Ming, no, he looked at the string of fruits in his right hand and made a sound of desire.

The pink rabbit eyes were full of excitement, and the white rabbit tail kept swinging.

Its excitement is no less than the action of eating golden durian bags.

Xu Ming praised more than a dozen of them in a row and observed them for more than twenty minutes.

Seeing that Xiaobai was not poisoned, Xu Ming felt relieved, and then picked a crystal red lift the size of an egg and put it into his mouth.

Yes ~

What does it smell?

Sweet, very sweet, but sweet but not greasy. The flesh is delicate and refreshing, without any residue. As you eat it, it seems that it all turns into juice and enters the stomach and intestines.

In addition, during the consumption process, the aroma of the flesh filled in the mouth is also strongly impacting the central nervous system, bringing unforgettable food memories.

To describe it in two short words, it means "delicious".

"It's five times more delicious than any grape variety on Blue Star!"

"The comprehensive score should be above 90."

Moreover, this kind of crystal red extract tree is distributed in large quantities on the two nearby hills, with a number of more than a thousand. The crystal red extract that can be picked can be said to be inexhaustible.

Just set a time and space anchor here, and in the future, it will be like a golden durian bag, with endless crystal red pickles.

But Xu Ming hesitated for more than half an hour whether to set up a space-time anchor here.

After all, I have only explored the next day, and this has used up a precious time and space anchor. If a fruit with a personal score of more than 90 is found not far away, wouldn’t the third phase of the exploration plan be announced to be over?

After a long struggle.

Xu Ming still made up his mind to set up a space-time anchor under this crystal red tree.

"I have a premonition that there will definitely be many things that are better than crystal red ripped later. Even if crystal red ripped tastes good, it cannot be eaten as a meal like a golden durian bag. You may get tired of eating a hundred kilograms. It is not worth setting up a time and space anchor point, and at most it is marked on the map."

"But... life is about making choices constantly, and the best option is always in the end. The most important thing for people is to know satisfaction. Setting up a time and space anchor here can not only eat crystal red radish at any time, but also take care of yesterday's giant watermelon, which is equivalent to harvesting two kinds of fruits, enough to bring a fresh taste for a period of time."

"The standard cannot be set too high, otherwise you will never be satisfied. Not only will you run around like a headless fly, miss a lot of enjoyment, and even suffer from choice phobia and anxiety. You want to grab everything, but it is like sand in your hand. The longer the time, the more you leak. It is better to grasp the present and enjoy the present."

"After all, the road ahead is still long."
