Chapter 1734: Black Plant

Chapter 1734 Black Plant

Feifei saw his father walking down a slope, so he went down too. Zhao Zhongyao first came to the big tree they saw. This big tree stood in front of Zhao Zhongyao.

Zhao Zhongyao carefully observed the big tree. I feel that this big tree is somewhat similar to the big trees on the earth. But there is also one notable difference. The leaves of this big tree are very large, almost one meter in diameter.

The entire leaf is peach-shaped. The color of the leaves is also green. It's just that the trunk is black, which may be due to the volcanic ash on the tree. Because there are volcanic eruptions everywhere on Venus!

No matter where it is, it will be stained with these volcanic ash. These big trees are no exception, also stained with some volcanic ash.

However, this place seems to be relatively remote, even if there is volcanic ash blowing here, it is very rare. Although there is volcanic ash on these tree trunks, it may have been decades or hundreds of years before the trunks were covered with so much volcanic ash.

The trunk of this big tree is almost half a meter in diameter. It seems that this big tree is at least a hundred years old. Of course, this is just Zhao Zhongyao's own estimate. No one knows how much history this big tree has.

Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei looked around this big tree, and felt that this big tree was really amazing. It should be a miracle in itself that life can exist in an environment like Venus.

Not to mention such a big tree, even if a bacterium can be found, it will make people feel very surprised!

After Feifei looked at this big tree, he looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said, 'Dad, do you think the trunk of this big tree is black. '

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said, "Ordinarily, tree trunks are usually gray or dark green." Such a black trunk, I also feel very strange. I guess, the trunk of this big tree will not be black, these black things should be volcanic ash.

After Zhao Zhongyao looked at it, he walked to the big tree again, and he stretched out his hand to wipe the trunk of the big tree. Then he looked at his fingers again. After he looked, he saw that his fingers were black.

Zhao Zhongyao stretched out his finger in front of Feifei and said, "Did you see it? I guessed right!" '

Feifei looked at his father's fingers, then nodded and said, 'It really is volcanic ash. '

As Zhao Zhongyao said, he wiped off some of the volcanic ash on the trunk of the big tree with his hands. At this time, he saw the trunk of this big tree. Zhao Zhongyao originally thought that the trunk of this big tree should be gray or dark green. But what Zhao Zhongyao didn't expect was that when he cleaned off a piece of volcanic ash on the trunk of this big tree, he actually saw that the trunk of this big tree was white.

'Huh! Why is the trunk of this big tree white. 'Zhao Zhongyao felt very strange.

Feifei stood aside and watched, feeling very strange. He also looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, Dad, why is this tree trunk white. '

At this time, Zhao Zhongyao wiped the other parts of the trunk again, and after he wiped it, it turned out that it was also white.

Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said,'Maybe it's because these tree trunks have been wrapped in volcanic ash. Over time, these trunks will turn white. '

After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Feifei also said, 'Dad is very reasonable. Maybe that's what it looks like. '

However, at this moment, Feifei looked at the big trees next to him and said, 'Dad, look at the other big trees, some of the trunks are also black, but some of the trunks are not black. '

After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhongyao walked over to look at the other big trees. At this time, he felt that the other big trees were not all black, and the trunks of some big trees were gray. There are also some big trees whose trunks are dark green.

After Zhao Zhongyao looked at the trunks of these big trees, he understood what was going on. Obviously the trunks of these big trees are really not all white. Maybe the trunk of this big tree was covered with too much volcanic ash.

Because this big tree is not only very big, but also at the outermost part of this underground forest, it is the only one that is most likely to be contaminated by the volcanic ash flying in the air.

After Zhao Zhongyao looked at the other big trees, he looked at Feifei again and said, 'Son, I know what's going on. '

After hearing what Dad said, Feifei happily asked, 'Dad, what do you know? Why are the trunks of these big trees not the same color. '

At this moment, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei again and said, 'Son, this is because the ages of these big trees are different. There are some large trees that may be very old. The trunk of such a big tree will be stained with a lot of volcanic ash. On the other hand, some relatively young trees were contaminated with less volcanic ash. '

When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Feifei felt that it made sense. The reason why the trunks of these big trees show different colors is because the trunks of these big trees were contaminated with volcanic ash at different times.

Feifei looked at the large underground forest, and he looked at Zhao Zhongyao puzzled and said, Dad, since there is life in this place. Is the air in this place the same as that on Earth? Can we stay here without a space suit? '

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said,'How is this possible, this is Venus. Don't look at the plants here. But it may not necessarily keep the animals alive. Let alone humans. I feel that the air here must not be suitable for us humans to breathe. '

After hearing what his father said, Feifei said again, 'Why is it not suitable for us to breathe. Since there are plants, there must be oxygen. Since there is oxygen, is it possible for us humans to breathe? '

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said, 'Well, let's do an experiment first! See if there is oxygen in the air here. '

Zhao Zhongyao used the measuring tools on the spacesuit to measure the air composition here while talking. After Zhao Zhongyao measured it, he saw that the air composition here is mostly carbon dioxide, which only contains 1% oxygen.

After Zhao Zhongyao took the measurement, he looked at Feifei again and said, "Look, the oxygen content in the air here is only one percent. Do you think we can breathe here?" '

After hearing what his father said, Feifei said, 'If the oxygen content is only 1%, it is obviously not suitable for animals to live here. We humans can't even survive here. '

‘That’s right, we’re here in spacesuits only. Don't look at the many plants here, but we must rely on spacesuits to survive. Zhao Zhongyao said again.

At this moment, Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said, 'Dad, should we go inside again? You can see that this underground forest is so big, we are only here, and we can't see too many plants. '

Feifei was young and very curious, so he wanted to visit the depths of the forest. He felt that there must be all kinds of magical plants in this big forest.

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said, "Feifei, should we go back?" This big forest is just a few plants. If you look again, it may still be these plants. '

Zhao Zhongyao feels that although the plants here are also in different shapes. But it's just these kinds of plants. The plants are not much different. The only difference is that the leaves of these plants are not the same color.

At this time, Feifei felt that the plants here were a little strange. It seems that they are all green plants, and there are no flowers or the like.

Thinking of this, Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and asked, 'Dad, why aren't the plants here blooming! '

Zhao Zhongyao also looked around after hearing Feifei's words. Sure enough, all the plants here are broad-leaved plants. There are no other types of plants. And the plants here are not flowering.

However, Zhao Zhongyao also thought, since it is a plant, it should bloom! Do plants need to bloom to be pollinated?

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongyao approached a smaller plant to have a look. He looked carefully, only to see some very small red flowers at the roots of the leaves of these plants. It's hard to spot them if you don't look carefully.

After Zhao Zhongyao saw these little red flowers, he looked at Feifei again and said, 'Come here and have a look, see what this is. '

After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Feifei walked over to have a look. He took a look, and sure enough, there were some small red flowers at the base of the leaves of this small plant. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.

'Dad, it's amazing! These plants can even flower. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said with a smile.

'Of course, you think Venus plants don't bloom! As long as it is a plant, it usually blooms. Zhao Zhongyao said so.

'Dad, does that mean that some of the plants inside will have even more exotic flowers! ’ Said Feifei.

When Feifei saw the little red flower of this plant, he felt very strange. After all, this is a plant on Venus, and it is not surprising that there are such small red flowers.

‘Feifei, take pictures of these plants first! This is also a miracle. We found such a large forest on Venus. You said that after we returned to the earth, we told the people on the earth, did others not believe it at all. 'Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.

'Yes, we must leave some evidence, let me shoot some video materials! After listening to what Zhao Zhongyao said, Feifei used the shooting equipment on the spacesuit to start shooting the magical plants around him.

After Feifei took pictures for a while, he looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said, 'Dad, most of the leaves of the plants here are also green. But some are also black. What do you mean by these black leaves? Is it also because of the volcanic ash on them? '

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao thought about it again and said,'Maybe so! Let's check it out for ourselves, though! '

After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he walked to another plant. This plant is not very big. But its leaves are all black. So, Zhao Zhongyao wiped on a leaf of this plant again.

Zhao Zhongyao also thought that the blackness on the leaves of this plant must also be caused by volcanic ash. As long as he touched it, he could remove the blackness. Then the dark green inside will be revealed.

But what Zhao Zhongyao didn't expect was that when he touched the leaves of this plant with his hand, he was surprised to find that the leaves of this plant were actually black, which was not the reason why volcanic ash fell on it.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Zhongyao was very puzzled. He looked at Feifei and said, "This is really strange, the leaves of this plant are actually black." '

After hearing what Dad said, Feifei also said very puzzled, 'Dad, what is going on, why are the leaves of the plants here black. '

Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, 'I feel that it is because the carbon dioxide content in the air here is very high, which makes the leaves of some plants turn black. '

After listening to what his father said, Feifei said again, ‘Then why aren’t all the plants black in color, only the leaves of this plant are black in color. '

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said again,'This is not necessarily the case, we just happened to see this tree. If we look at other plants. It may also be possible to find plants that are black in color. '

After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, Feifei said, "Then let's look for it again and see if we can find such a black plant." '

'Okay, then let's look for it again. After Zhao Zhongyao heard his son's words, he and his son looked for such black plants again.

After searching for a while, the two of them found another magical plant with black leaves in a low-lying place. Although, there are not many such plants in this underground forest. But it's really amazing.

'Dad, what is going on here? There are such magical plants in this underground forest. ’ Feifei said again.

After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhongyao said again,'It's hard to say, maybe it's because of the high carbon dioxide content here. Of course it could be for other reasons. '

After hearing what his father said, Feifei said again, 'Forget it, let's study this issue slowly in the future! Let me take pictures of such plants first. ’ After Feifei finished speaking, he took the special camera on the spacesuit and took pictures of the black plants in front of him.

After Feifei finished shooting, he looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Dad, I think this forest is so big, there must be many magical plants in it, why don't we go inside and have a look!" '
