As mentioned earlier, this small island is not big, with a length of about 500 meters, a width of about 300 meters, and it is in the shape of a crescent moon.

If converted into area, it is 0.15 square kilometers.

If you use this small area to plant other trees, it is not a problem to plant hundreds or thousands of trees without considering the spacing between plants, but for the world tree, it is a big problem.

Lin Mu remembers it very clearly that the height of the World Tree is now 375 meters, while the diameter of the World Tree trunk is about 40 meters. Note that this is the diameter, not the circumference.

It is no exaggeration to say that one-tenth of the island's area is now occupied by the trunks of the World Tree.

The space of the island is now a bit stretched.

And it only takes 2 to 3 months, the island will be completely covered by the trunk of the World Tree. By that time, the World Tree will take a bath in the ocean.

Although forest trees don’t have to worry about the World Tree being killed by sea water, will this small island be crushed because of the huge mass of the World Tree?

Don't think this is an exaggeration, even now, the weight of the World Tree is already very terrifying.

If the world tree is regarded as a cylindrical shape and its height and diameter are known, then its volume can be calculated, which is about 470,000 cubic meters.

And this volume is still the volume of the ground. If the tree roots are added, the volume may increase by 1 to 2 times, even 1 million cubic meters!

The density of trees can be regarded as similar to that of water. As for the density of world trees, trees are estimated to be at least several times or even dozens of times that of water, which may be similar to that of steel, or higher.

If the density is similar to water, then the weight of the World Tree is 1 million tons. If the density is 10 times that of water, then the weight of the World Tree is 10 million tons!

After two or three months, the world tree will grow to the same size as an island, and the weight will be at least tens of millions of tons, and maybe hundreds of millions of tons are possible!

Such a huge weight is pressing on a small island, and the pressure on the island can be imagined.

The most important point is that Lin Mu doesn’t know what the island looks like under.

If it is the shape of a mountain, that is, the bottom is wide, then the problem should not be big. At most, the island will be crushed by the world tree and sink a little.

But if it is another shape, it is very difficult, and it is very likely that the island will be directly crushed and the world tree will also be poured into the water.

Although the World Tree will not die even if it falls into the water, it will not be able to forward the moonlight energy, which is something Lin Mu cannot accept.

In the early stage, this small island that deviated from the route was unknown allowed the World Tree to develop in a low-key and stable manner, so as not to die halfway. However, by now, it has become an obstacle.

So this is how things in the world are, one at a time and another. At different stages, good things will turn into bad things.

And the reason why life and death are at stake is that Lin Mu has indeed discovered certain signs.

Everyone should know that generally speaking, the components of the islands in this ocean can be divided into volcanic islands and coral reef islands.

Volcanic islands refer to the islands that form after a volcanic eruption, rocks rush out of the sea to form the islands, and coral reef islands are coral reefs formed after the death of corals.

No matter which of these two structures, they actually have one thing in common, that is, the internal structure of the island is relatively loose.

It is precisely because of this that some islands disappear silently every year on the ocean. There are many reasons for disappearance, which may be because they cannot withstand the corrosion of seawater, may be due to vibrations in the seabed crust, etc.

Through the roots of the World Tree, the trees have been observed. This island is a volcanic island, which also has the characteristics of relatively loose internal structure.

How loose is the interior of the island? Let's put it this way, when the roots of the World Tree are interspersed inside the island, it is obvious that these rocks were originally piece by piece, and there were only some solidified magma between them. These solidified magma were like glue, which glued the rocks together.

(By the way, Lin Mu found some gems inside the rock, and several gems were of very good quality. If they could be dug out and sold, it would probably be worth a lot of money.)

In most cases, this bond is relatively strong, but, yes, there must be, but once there is huge pressure on the outside, the gap will appear because it is never a whole.

Now the trees have been discovered through the roots of the tree, and tiny cracks have appeared between some rocks, which seem very small, but as the world tree grows, the mass becomes larger and the pressure becomes larger and larger, and the cracks will become larger and larger, which eventually leads to the collapse of the entire island.

This is obviously a very terrible thing.

Lin Mu also realized that although the World Tree can wrap the upper rocks, the length of the tree roots is limited after all, and the lower layer cannot be wrapped.

Some people may say that, isn’t it enough to just let the World Tree directly wrap the entire island from the bottom of the sea?

Of course, Lin Mu wanted to do this, but who knows how deep the ocean is here? Maybe several thousand meters, but in a short period of time, Lin Mu can't do this at all. After all, no matter how fast the World Tree grows, it will take time.

At the same time, Lin Mu was worried about another point, that is, the island's crust changed. When the island was overwhelmed, a piece of goose feather could even collapse it, let alone the crust would shake.

So although the World Tree seems to be prosperous now, it is like standing in a crater that can explode at any time, maybe it will be finished in the next moment.

The most helpless thing is that even though Lin Mu has realized this problem, it is difficult to solve this problem, because solving this problem and his development ideas are in conflict with each other.

At the beginning, when no one discovered this island, Lin Mu wanted to develop in a low-key manner and was mainly cowardly.

Now that the island has been discovered, Lin Mu has changed his mind. He no longer keeps his low profile and makes the world tree grow five meters tall every day, because only the bigger the world tree, the stronger the self-protection ability will be.

If we want to solve the problem of the island so that the island will not collapse, what the forest should do now is to prevent the World Tree from growing taller and instead continue to grow the roots. When will the roots of the World Tree take root to the bottom of the sea, then let the World Tree grow taller.

In this way, it doesn’t matter whether the island collapses or not. The roots of the World Tree are enough to support it so that the World Tree will not fall into the sea.

However, doing so means that the World Tree can no longer grow taller, and the efficiency of converting moonlight energy cannot be improved again. In the long run, this is very unfavorable to the World Tree and the Forest Tree.

Because the taller the world tree, the stronger the self-protection ability. This self-protection ability is not about facing marine disasters, but for humans.
