Chapter 1546: Black plant

Chapter 1734: Black Plants
When Feifei watched his father walking down a slope, he went down too. Zhao Zhongyao first came to the side of the big tree they saw. This big tree stood in front of Zhao Zhongyao.
Zhao Zhongyao carefully observed this big tree. I feel that this big tree is somewhat similar to the big trees on the earth. But there is also a significant difference. The leaves of this big tree are very big, almost every leaf is one meter in diameter.
The whole 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, they are also stained with volcanic ash.
However, this place seems to be relatively remote, even if there is volcanic ash blowing here, it is rare. Although there is volcanic ash on these tree trunks, it may have been decades or hundreds of years before the trunks were stained with so much volcanic ash.
The trunk of this big tree is almost half a meter in diameter. It seems that this big tree has at least a hundred years of history. Of course, this is only Zhao Zhongyao's own estimation. No one knows how much history this big tree has.
Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei looked around this big tree once, and felt that this big tree was really amazing. In an environment like Venus, there can be life, which in itself should be a miracle.
Not to mention such a big tree, even if a bacteria can be found, it will make people feel very surprised!
After Feifei looked at this big tree, she looked at Zhao Zhongyao 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 generally gray or dark green. I also feel very strange for such a black tree trunk. I guess that the trunk of this big tree will not be black, and these black things should be volcanic ash.
After looking at it, Zhao Zhongyao walked to the big tree again, and he reached out and wiped the trunk of the big tree. Then he looked at his finger again. After he looked at it, he saw that his finger was black.
Zhao Zhongyao stretched out his finger in front of Feifei and said, ‘I see it, I guess it’s right! ’
Feifei looked at Dad's finger, then nodded and said, ‘It’s really volcanic ash. ’
As Zhao Zhongyao said, he wiped some of the volcanic ash on the trunk of this big tree with his hands. At this time, he saw the trunk of this big tree. Originally, Zhao Zhongyao 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 cleared a piece of the volcanic ash on the trunk of this big tree, he actually saw the trunk of this big tree was white.
'what! Why is the trunk of this big tree white? Zhao Zhongyao felt very strange.
Feifei stood aside and looked at it, also feeling very strange. He also looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, ‘Dad, how come this tree trunk is white. ’
At this moment, Zhao Zhongyao wiped the other parts of the trunk again. After he wiped it, it turned out to be all white.
Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, ‘It may be because these tree trunks have been wrapped in volcanic ash. Over time, these tree trunks will turn white. ’
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Feifei said, ‘what dad said is very reasonable. It might be like this. ’
However, 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 and looked at other big trees. At this time, he felt that the other big trees weren't really black, and the trunks of some big trees were gray. The trunks of some large trees 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 not all white. Maybe the trunk of this big tree is because it is wrapped in too much volcanic ash.
Because this big tree is not only very big, but also the outermost part of this underground forest. Only it is the easiest to get these volcanic ash flying in the air.
After looking at the other big trees, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei again and said, ‘Son, I know what’s going on. ’
After hearing what my dad said, Feifei asked happily, ‘dad, what do you know. Why are the trunks of these big trees not the same color. ’
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei again and said, ‘Son, this is because the ages of these big trees are different. Some big trees may be very long. A lot of volcanic ash will be stained on the trunk of such a big tree. On the other big trees of relatively young age, there is less volcanic ash. ’
When Zhao Zhongyao said so, Feifei felt very reasonable. The trunks of these big trees show different colors because the time when the trunks of these big trees are stained with volcanic ash is different.
Feifei looked at this large underground forest. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao puzzledly and said, ‘Dad, since there is life in this place. Is the air in this place the same as on earth? Can we stay here without wearing spacesuits? ’
After hearing what Feifei said, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘how is this possible, this is Venus. Don't look at the plants here. But it may not be able to keep animals alive. Let alone human beings. I feel that the air here must not be suitable for our human breathing. ’
Feifei heard what his father said and said, ‘how can it not suit our breathing. Since there are plants, there must be oxygen. Since there is oxygen, can it be used for human breathing? ’
Zhao Zhongyao heard Feifei’s words and said, ‘Let’s do an experiment first! See if there is oxygen in the air here. ’
While talking, Zhao Zhongyao used the measuring tool on the spacesuit to measure the air composition here. After measuring, Zhao Zhongyao saw that most of the air components here were carbon dioxide, which contained only one percent of 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. Can you breathe here? ’
Feifei heard what his father said, and said, ‘If there is only one percent of the oxygen content, obviously it’s not suitable for animals to live here. We humans cannot survive here any more. ’
‘Yes, when we come to this place, we can only wear spacesuits. Even though there are many plants here, we must rely on spacesuits to survive. Zhao Zhongyao said again.
At this time, Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said, ‘Dad, should we go inside and see again. You see this underground forest is so big, we are just here, and we can't see too many plants. ’
Feifei was young and curious, so he wanted to take a look in the depths of the forest. He felt that there must be all kinds of magical plants in this large forest.
Zhao Zhongyao heard Feifei's words and said, ‘Feifei, should we go back now? There are just some plants in this large forest. If you look again, it might still be these plants. ’
Zhao Zhongyao felt that the plants here, although they also have different shapes. But it is these kinds of plants. There is not much difference between these plants. The only difference is that the leaves of these plants are different in color.
Feifei felt that the plants here were a bit strange. It seems they are all green plants, and there are no such things as flowers.
Thinking of this, Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked, ‘Dad, how come the plants here are not blooming! ’
After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao looked around. Sure enough, all the plants here are broad-leaved plants. There are no other types of plants. And the plants here do not bloom.
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 take a look. He took a closer look and saw that the roots of the leaves of these plants had some very tiny red flowers. If you don’t watch them carefully, it’s hard to spot them.
After Zhao Zhongyao saw these little red flowers, he looked at Feifei again and said, ‘Come over and take a look, what are these. ’
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Feifei walked over and took a look. He saw that there were some small red flowers on the roots of the leaves of this small plant. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t see it at all.
‘Dad, it’s amazing! These plants can actually bloom. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said with a smile.
‘Of course, do you think the plants of Venus will not bloom! As long as it is a plant, it will generally bloom. Said Zhao Zhongyao.
‘Dad, does that mean that some of the plants inside will have even more exotic flowers! Said Feifei.
When Feifei saw the small red flowers of this plant, he felt very strange. After all, this is a plant on Venus, and there is such a small red flower. It's not strange to you.
‘Fei Fei, you can take photos of these plants first! This is also a miracle. We unexpectedly found such a large forest on Venus. You said that after we returned to Earth, we told the people on Earth whether others did not believe it at all. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.
‘Yes, we have to leave some evidence, let me shoot some video materials! After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Feifei used the shooting equipment on the spacesuit to photograph the magical plants around.
After shooting for a while, Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, ‘Dad, most of the plant leaves here are also green. But some are black. What do you say about these black leaves, is it also because of the volcanic ash on them? ’
After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, ‘It may be so! However, let's check it ourselves! ’
After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he walked up to a plant. This plant is not very big. But its leaves are all black. So Zhao Zhongyao wiped another leaf on this plant.
Zhao Zhongyao also thought that the black on the leaves of this plant must have been caused by volcanic ash. He can touch the black color with just one touch. 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 turned out to be black, and it was not the cause of the volcanic ash falling on it.
Looking at 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 said in a puzzled manner, ‘Dad, what the is going on here, why are the plant leaves here black. ’
Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, ‘I think it’s because the carbon dioxide content in the air here is so high that the color of some plant leaves has turned black. ’
After hearing what my father said, Feifei said again, ‘then why not all plants are black, only the leaf of this plant is black. ’
After hearing what Feifei said, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘This is not necessarily true, we just happened to see this one. If we look at other plants. Maybe you can also find plants that are black in this color. ’
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Feifei said, ‘Then we’ll look for it again and see if we can find such black plants. ’
‘Okay, then we’ll look for it again. After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhongyao and his son searched for such black plants.
After looking for it for a while, they found such a magical plant with black leaves in a low-lying place. Although, there are not many such plants in this underground forest. But it is really amazing.
‘Dad, what the is going on here, in this underground forest, there are such amazing plants. Feifei said again.
After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘It’s hard to say, maybe it’s because of the high carbon dioxide content here. Of course, it may also be due to other reasons. ’
After hearing what his father said, Feifei said, ‘Forget it, let’s study this problem slowly later! I will take photos 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 filming, she looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, ‘Dad, I think this forest is so big, there must be many magical plants in it, so let’s go inside and take a look! ’
