"What the hell!"
Everyone had no idea what was going on.
It's not their fault, it's just that this thing is too contrary to common sense.
They just walked all the way, there were lush trees everywhere, and it was precisely because of this that they subconsciously ignored the value of soil for the Sky Islanders.
After all, the biggest use of soil in addition to support is to plant flowers and trees.
The island cloud here on the Sky Island also has these functions.
Those trees were clearly planted on the island cloud.
They didn't know that although the island cloud can make plants grow, it can't create plants.
A sapling planted on the island cloud can indeed grow quickly, and because the island cloud contains Pyrobroin keratin particles, whether it's growth speed or the size of the final growth, it far exceeds the plants planted in the soil.
However, if it's a seed, it can't take root and grow into a plant in the island cloud.
Now the trees in the Sky Island are all transplanted from the Island of God.
In the sky, there was no green and soil.
It was the Island of God, that is, the part of Jaya Island that was brought up by the towering sea current that brought green here.
For the Sky Islanders, the soil was given to them by God.
It was precisely because of this that four hundred years ago, when the Island of God appeared here, the residents of the Sky Island broke out in war with the Shandorians of Shandora, just to compete for the Island of God.
After living in the sky for generations, they yearned for the earth too much.
"Don't mind it, this is very precious to you, but it's nothing to us," Sigo said.
Seeing Sigo say so, Paglia nodded, "Yes, for us, Bath is the most precious thing, but for you Qinghai people, this is something that can be seen everywhere."
Konice has taken out a delicate bottle from the room and carefully put the soil in it.
"Everyone, please have some tea." After collecting the soil, Konice served tea and dessert to everyone.
Xi Ge picked up the teacup and took a sip. Everything here seemed to have a different taste.
"By the way, there's something I want to ask you," Sigo looked at the water in the cup and said, "Where does the fresh water you usually drink come from?"
With Sigo's question, Dzepp and the others also realized the crux of the matter.
Here is a height of 10,000 meters, it is basically impossible to have rainfall, and underground water is even more impossible. Where did the Sky Islanders get the fresh water from?
This was one of the things that Sigo had always been puzzled about. At the same time, it was also related to something else: the human gigantification experiment.
Caesar Kulang was not the first to create the gigantism experiment. The World Government had been researching it for hundreds of years and had continued to do so until now.
Sigo even suspected that BIGMOM was a victim of the world government's' human gigantification experiment '.
After all, Auntie was too similar to the children that Caesar had abducted from Punk Hassard to study the gigantism of humans.
He had the same extraordinary strength, far surpassing that of ordinary people, and the same anorexia that would cause him to go crazy if he couldn't eat sweet food.
Moreover, the mother's biological parents were completely normal humans.
When she was five years old, she had no choice but to abandon her aunt because she had caused a lot of damage.
It was very likely that the aunty was secretly used as a test subject by the world government when she was a baby.
On the Sky Island, although there are no huge humans, there are a variety of huge plants and animals.
Moreover, the island clouds here can accelerate the growth of plants and make plants much bigger than their normal state.
It is very likely that it is because of the Pyrobroin keratin particles in the island clouds and sea clouds.
That is to say, whether it is the World Government or Caesar's distance enlargement experiment, it is likely that the drugs developed based on the Pyrobroin keratin particles.
"For freshwater, there is a special factory on the island that can extract the water from the island clouds or sea clouds."
Sigo nodded silently, he was afraid that this was the only way.
What he wondered was that the Pyrobroin keratin particles could make plants bigger.
Animals that eat plants, animals that eat plant-eating animals, or fish in the White Sea are also affected.
Why are the humans on the Sky Island not affected in any way? It is a bit strange.
"By the way, if possible, we want to set up a stall on the beach outside, oh, that's Bath, I don't know if it's okay." Sigo decided to sell the soil for gold before the White Berets came to the door.
Konice looked at the huge package outside the door, "Is that all the Bath? Mr. Sigo, what do you want to exchange, empty shells or Aegus dollars?"
"No, I want to exchange it for gold."
He did want to buy some empty shells, but except for those extinct empty shells, such as Platoon Scallops and Spout Scallops, the other empty shells were not very useful.
As for Aegus dollars, Sigo did not have time to find a place to exchange them. He was very busy.
Konice hurried into the house and came out with a pile of bottles and jars, all made of gold!
"Mr. Sigo, can I buy some Bath first? I want to use Bath to grow some flowers."
"Is this enough? I only need two small bags."
Four hundred years ago, when Shandora was brought to the Sky Island by the soaring sea current, although some of the gold fell into the sea because of the shock, a considerable part was still brought to the Sky Island.
During the four-hundred-year expedition between the Shandorians and the Sky Islanders, in addition to the Golden Bell, the rest of the gold was scattered throughout the Sky Island and was obtained by the Sky Islanders and Shandorians.
Gold, which was priceless in Qinghai, was not very useful here.
Even if Enel plundered a lot of gold, it was only because of the good conductivity of gold.
Looking at the gold bottles and jars in front of them, Nocchi Gao and others finally knew why Sigo had to work so hard to get the soil and bring it to the Sky Island.
Although the gold that Konice took out was not much, it was at least worth hundreds of thousands of Bailey.
But she just wanted to exchange it for two bags of soil.
Facing Konice's expectant eyes, everyone really could not bear to take her gold.
Sigo did not have any psychological burden. Just as he was about to put away the gold, Kuleha took the lead.
She took all the gold in her hand and said, "Of course, but as the first customer, I'll give you an extra bag of seeds. These are the seeds of the orange tree. They will definitely grow delicious oranges."
Konice's little face was red with excitement and she thanked her repeatedly.
Kuleha turned to look at Da Dan and others and said, "Don't feel burdened. This is an equivalent exchange in itself. You don't know that in the desert, sometimes a cup of water can be exchanged for a meal of gold. "
"Gold itself is just a metal. It is only used as a measure of monetary value because of its small content. That's all." Kuleha was worthy of being a person who had lived for more than a hundred years. She saw things very clearly.
Sigo agreed, "Yes, things are precious when they are rare. The value of things is given by humans. If the amount of gold in the world suddenly skyrocketed ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times, or even a hundred million times, gold is not much different from steel or soil."
As he spoke, he reached out to take the gold from Kuleha's hand, but he caught nothing.
"Captain, it's time to pay some of the consultation fee."
Sigo clutched his chest and said, "… I suddenly feel a little angina."
"Do you need treatment? The treatment fee is extra."
Sigo: "* …%%!!!"
