Scientific Travel

Fearing that Deng Yin might misunderstand, Gou Dan explained, "Only the original owner of this space has this authority. It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that I can't. Even if I unbind you in the future, and this space belongs only to you, you still won't have this authority."

Deng Yin nodded, saying nonchalantly, "It's alright, I can create whatever kind of weather I want at home when I get back."

Don't let her small size fool you; her place has everything you need.

It can not only change the sky color, but also change the weather.

Technology, at times, is like a superpower.

The two stood guard beside the winter jasmine tree, waiting quietly for it to sprout branches and leaves.

Deng Yin had only ever heard of flowers that bloomed at night; this was the first time he had ever encountered a tree that only sprouted leaves at night.

The wonders of nature are mostly known to the people of Heze Star, but they have never seen them, and they don't even have a way to confirm their authenticity.

Humans tend to be skeptical of things they have never seen before.

An hour has passed...

Two hours have passed...

The hemp tree showed no change whatsoever; not a single leaf had grown.

Deng Yin asked with some doubt, "Does it really grow leaves at night? Why hasn't it grown any after all this time? Is it shy because it sees people looking at it and doesn't want to grow any leaves?"

Dog Egg also found it strange. Logically speaking, it should have grown leaves long ago. It's old enough and the environment is suitable, so why is it still so bald?

Do trees also have the problem of being bald?

"Could it be because it's suddenly moved and it's not used to it?" Gou Dan guessed. "It might be a tree that's attached to its home."

“But we can’t go home with it,” Deng Yin said. “We brought it here because we can’t go to its home.”

"Why don't you prepare the other materials first? It'll take quite a while to process all those materials anyway," Gou Dan suggested. "It's only been here a short time; it needs time to adjust."

"Alright then." Anyway, there's no other way now, so this is the only option.

Just as a person has a unique personality, so too does a tree.

If there are trees that love their homes, then there must also be trees that don't.

Gou Dan was in charge of processing the medicinal herbs, while Deng Yin searched the entire half of the mountain again.

The *Ephedra sinica* tree is indeed rare; there are only two on such a large mountain.

Deng Yin planted them together, hoping that this would give them a sense of home and that they would soon grow and multiply.

After looting half of the mountain, Deng Yin went and looted the other half as well.

This half-mountain is actually.........

it turns out........

There was only one juvenile hemp tree, and it was still immature. It wasn't even as tall as Deng Yin's waist, and its roots were much shorter than the other two trees.

However, Deng Yin still moved it next to those two trees.

Looking at it this way, it really does look like a family of three.

It doesn't matter whether the two trees are male and female, or whether they are both male or both female. Who says that the two older trees in a family of three have to be of opposite sexes?

Moreover, trees don't distinguish between male and female.

I don't know if the three of them ever felt the warmth of home, but they never had any offspring.

The younger one is one thing, Deng Yin doesn't want to hire child labor. But why are the two older ones so disappointing?

Deng Yin initially suspected that the plants were unable to grow leaves at night because they did not receive enough sunlight during the day.

After all, since the three of them arrived, the option of daytime has been lost in this space.

Deng Yin started setting an alarm clock every day, so that Gou Dan would strictly control the day and night cycle according to the outside time.

A week has passed, and there are still no new shoots.

Deng Yin began to suspect that the altitude was not high enough, so she planted the three trees on the snow-capped mountain.

Two weeks have passed, and there are still no new shoots.

Even though it has the warmth of a home and a high altitude, why are its leaves still not growing?

Deng Yin couldn't accept the answer that all three trees were bald, so he tried to find some other reasons.

Or perhaps... is it because of the high altitude? After all, snow-capped mountains are originally built on the ground, but now they are suspended in mid-air.

It is highly likely that Deng Yin cut off the tip of the snow mountain where these three trees were planted, and suspended it in mid-air at the same height where the three trees originally grew.

I refuse to believe it; how could it not branch out and flourish like this?

That's really possible...

This time, three whole weeks passed, and not a single leaf grew.

All the other medicinal herbs have been prepared—some have been dried, some ground, and even the resin from the Wanjiang tree has been extracted. Only this broken leaf remains, stubbornly refusing to grow anything.

Deng Yin had tried his best to set the conditions inside the space to be the same as outside, but it still didn't work.

Does it mean it has to grow outside?

With no other options left, Deng Yin had no choice but to start thinking about the route to climb the mountain.

The wind was strong outside, and climbing up the mountain from the side would be a dead end, so we could only try to climb up from the middle of the mountain.

It's not difficult to do this; all you need to do is carve a hole in the middle of the mountain.

Deng Yin made Gou Dan watch the tree every day, while she tried to make an impact drill.

The drill bit needs to be large enough so that two people can squeeze through it. Also, the larger the drill bit, the greater the impact force.

Although it's called an impact drill, it's more accurately described as an impact disc.

The drill bit was made from a large piece of stone, with a very smooth surface covered with countless tiny raised dots made of cypress metal fragments.

This stuff is hard enough that it won't be damaged at all, even if you drill from the top of a mountain to the bottom. If you used other materials instead, you would definitely need to replace them after a short time.

Deng Yin stood on the impact drill, holding the handrail with his right hand and the universal suction cup in his left, and began to drill down.

This process inevitably generates a lot of dust, which is bad for your health. But with a universal vacuum cleaner, you don't have to worry about this problem.

Deng Yin set the target as stone powder. The impact drill turned the mountain into powder through continuous rotation and friction. The suction power of the universal suction was so strong that the dust was sucked in before it even touched Deng Yin.

However, the universal vacuum only sucks up pre-set objects, such as intact rocks or gravel nearby, and will not suck them up.

Its mission objectives are very strict; even if it is the same substance, it will not absorb it if the shape and size are different.

The impact drill was very powerful, and the area above it was also large. Deng Yin moved a chair upstairs, sat down, and started drilling while eating cake.

The cake was white, and the powder made from the stone was black. Not a single black dot appeared on the cake until it was all eaten.

This is the power of the all-powerful absorber!

After drilling the hole above, Deng Yin drilled another hole on the side. The hole was so high that even if Gou Dan stood up straight, he wouldn't hit his head.

This is Deng Yin's meticulous strength!
