Chapter 571: Funeral Hall: I didn’t provoke any of you
Since the experimental forest has the word "experimental" in its name, failure cases are inevitable. The plants in two forests are obviously in a sluggish state compared with other forests.
It looks like the plants are short of water.
Binz also said this: "These two areas are probably the kind of places where no matter how hard you dig, you won't find water."
"I think the greatest value of my ability is to help plants survive the most difficult growing period when water is scarce. As long as we help them grow their root systems well enough, they can get water on their own. But if there is no water underground nearby, it will be completely meaningless."
"Groundwater... so..." Cobra thought of something and asked for confirmation, "Mr. Tatsuya, didn't you say that Vivi's ability can detect groundwater?"
"Yes, and she's already very skilled. She even practiced digging a well last time and it was very successful." Zhang Da also asked, "You want her to help detect underground water veins?"
"Well, it's not just about detection. I hope to draw a map of the underground water veins," Cobra said. "Although the groundwater will change, as long as there is no large-scale mining, this map should be able to be used for many years."
"That's great. Weiwei will be very happy too."
Cobra hesitated: "But... this may take a long time. I heard from Weiwei that you won't stay here for too long, right?"
Zhang Daye nodded: "Yes, because Misaka... is the child with short brown hair. She has some health problems that have not been completely resolved. We are going to the New World next."
"New World?"
"Yes, now that we've come to this point, I'd like to ask for your opinion." Zhang Da also said seriously:
"If it's just the first half of the Grand Line, it's fine for Vivi to follow us around. But I don't know much about the New World. I just know that the sea conditions, weather, and pirates there are much more dangerous than here. Will you allow Vivi to come with us again?"
"This..." Cobra was indeed a little hesitant. He had also heard that the environment in the New World was much more dangerous than here, so much so that people there called the first half of the Grand Line 'Paradise'.
The sea, a place called paradise, is already so treacherous and changeable. What will the new world be like?
There is also a powerful pirate force known as the Emperor of the Sea. I heard that those people are even more terrifying than Crocodile.
As a father, do you really want to let Weiwei go to that kind of place?
After thinking for a while, Cobra said, "I'll ask Weiwei for her opinion later."
Zhang Da was also a little surprised: "What do you mean?"
"I hope Vivi can stay, but her path shouldn't be entirely up to me," Cobra said, feeling both relieved and disappointed. "Vivi has grown up so quickly, so quickly that I need to consider her opinions on many things."
"You really are so open-minded that it's a bit exaggerated."
Cobra laughed and said, "Hahaha, I'm honored to receive such an evaluation."
Jaka hesitated to speak. He felt that this was inappropriate, but he didn't know how to persuade him. He had to go back and discuss it with Ikalem.
Binz didn't think going to the New World was a big deal. Their navy had troops stationed in the New World, and not all of those people were necessarily very strong.
What is there to worry about when we are traveling with so many powerful people in the Amber Travel Group?
He took the initiative to bring the topic back: "The front is the last two plots. This place is a little special. We have specially planned areas for fruit trees and other crops here. We want to see if we can increase food production while also greening it."
Binz's title is environmental and agricultural consultant, so naturally he also cares about agriculture.
Although the characteristics created by his ability cannot be inherited through seeds, he can greatly speed up the growth of plants and shorten the breeding cycle.
This alone can greatly speed up the agricultural development of Alabasta.
Tom and Altria quickly caught the key words, 'fruits and other agricultural products'.
Although it is used for experiments, as long as the fruit trees are not damaged and the cores are left, there should be no problem, right?
Besides, someone has to be responsible for tasting the food that has been grown, so it seems that this trip is not in vain.
…
It took half a day to check the experimental forest. After returning, Cobra went to find Vivi first to discuss what to do next.
But when he found the people, Vivi, Perona, Wendy, Xia Lulu, and Misaka were standing in a row, with their heads down, being taught a lesson by Jackie Chan.
The four little girls saw that their beautiful dresses that they had just changed into in the morning were already dirty, and their arms and faces that were not covered by the clothes were also covered with dust. Perona and Wendy seemed to have slight scratches on their foreheads.
Ikalem was angry but reluctant to scold the princess. When he saw the princess being scolded by Jackie Chan, he felt a little distressed and wanted to stop it.
Cobra asked quickly: "What happened?"
"Your Majesty! It's not a big deal, actually... um..." Ikalem was thinking about how to word it so that the king wouldn't be too angry.
Cobra knew Ikalem's character, so he looked directly at Jackie Chan.
Jackie Chan was too embarrassed to speak, but since it had already happened, he had to tell the king, so he gritted his teeth and said directly:
"I'm truly sorry. I didn't keep an eye on them. They...dug down the funeral hall behind the palace."
"The Funeral Hall!" Cobra was horrified. On the surface, it was a place to worship ancestors, but in fact, there was a basement under the Funeral Hall, which contained a piece of historical text guarded by the Nefertari family from generation to generation!
He didn't have time to get angry and said sullenly, "Please take me there. Also, Weiwei, tell me what happened? Why did you go to dig up the burial temple?"
Cobra knew immediately that it must be his daughter who took the lead in doing such a bold thing. The children in the Amber Tour Group were well-behaved and would never do such an outrageous thing.
Fortunately, they didn't look injured, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain to Mr. Tatsuya.
And what if other people’s children are led astray by Weiwei?
In the morning, they were still discussing whether to let Vivi continue traveling with them, but in the afternoon they found out about this "surprise". Will Vivi be disliked by Mr. Tatsuya?
The old father felt very complicated. He was angry at Vivi , relieved that everyone was fine, and worried that Vivi would be disliked.
Jackie Chan glanced at the guards and carefully reminded them, "Well, it's best not to bring too many people with you."
Jackie Chan saw a piece of historical text there. He remembered that studying this thing was not allowed, not to mention hiding it, so it would be better if fewer people knew about it.
Cobra's steps were a little stiff. These kids, haven't they dug too deep?
