When we got this island.

Lu Yuan and his team must first conduct a survey of the island to determine its size and the surrounding resources.

What impact would building a fumarole have on the surrounding geographical location?

Therefore, they had to investigate the actual area and determine the location where construction should take place.

Moreover, they try to avoid mountainous areas, because redeveloping those areas is extremely difficult and beyond the capabilities of most people.

Therefore, when they arrived at this island after traveling a long distance, they were somewhat disappointed to see that it was a desolate island. The island was very large, but there was an abandoned volcano in the center.

This volcano appears to have been sealed off long ago, and it's unclear how long it hasn't erupted.

If construction were to take place in such a location, and a volcano were to erupt, it would severely impact the progress of their project.

So when Lu Yuan received this first-year high school assignment, he was quite depressed; it was like a disastrous start.

But he couldn't give up, because this was his only chance.

The military now adopts a random take-out policy and does not favor anyone.

So you get whichever one you get, and if you want to change it, you have to give up this opportunity.

Without further ado, a group of people drove around the island to take measurements.

Everyone took various tools and began measuring the island's elevation and collecting surrounding minerals to choose an easier location for construction.

After two busy days, we finally managed to get a clear understanding of the basic situation of this island.

Just as Lu Yuan and his group were about to leave, a ship approached their island from a distance.

Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised when he saw the ship.

He sensed that the ship was greeting them, because a flag on it had a number adjacent to their ship's designation.

Sure enough, a man was standing on the deck. He took off his hat and waved in Lu Yuan's direction, looking very excited.

There's no way to refuse a smiling face; it turns out the other person is my neighbor, so it's necessary to come over, say hello, and see what's going on.

So Lu Yuan asked Xiao Shan and the others to pack their things, and after he got rid of this person, they planned to leave.

The other ship docked in front of Lu Yuan and his group on the beach and then launched a small boat. The boat driven by that person sped towards the mountain.

Upon reaching the beach, the other person couldn't wait to run onto the island. After looking around, they came up to Lu Yuan and laughed heartily.

"Brother, my sense of righteousness lies to your east. From now on, we'll be neighbors. We'll be the only two people in this area, so let's have more opportunities to interact!"

After hearing what the other person said, Lu Yuan nodded helplessly. These kinds of overly friendly people are actually the hardest to deal with.

"No problem at all! We'll be neighbors from now on, so just let me know if you need any help!"

Lu Yuan made a casual remark, but the other party didn't seem to care. He looked around at the surrounding islands, pursed his lips, and showed a troubled expression.

"Hey bro, your luck's not so good. Drawing this island looks like your workload is going to be much heavier from now on."

"Look, that mountain in the middle should be a volcano, right? If we were to build a fumarole near it, and it accidentally spewed out too much air, the force could be too great and could disturb the lava below. If a volcanic eruption had already occurred, that would be a real problem!"

What the other party said was right; this was also the problem that Lu Yuan was worried about. However, for now, he had entrusted these matters to Qiao Ya.

He believed that with Qiao Ya's technology, there would definitely be a way to solve this problem.

Therefore, Lu Yuan was not worried about him, and simply smiled and politely replied to the other party.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I know the country has already drawn this island, and I can't change it anymore. I can only bite the bullet and go for it. It's okay, it's just a suggestion to make spray essence, right? I'll just meet with them, what's there to be afraid of!"

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, the other party couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. "Brother Xing, it seems you really are a man of character. You've come to the right place. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sha Lin. You can call me Lao Sha or Lao Lin, it's fine. By the way, what should I call you?"

Lu Yuan smiled gently.

"Just call me Lu Yuan!"

"Okay, I'm a little older than you, so from now on I'll call you Xiao Lu, and you call me Lao Sha! Call me anytime if you have any questions, here's my business card!"

Before Lu Yuan could react, the other party slipped a business card into his pocket.

Lu Yuan took out the business card, glanced at it, and smiled helplessly.

The other party is just a small, insignificant technology developer with a few patents.

He set up his own studio, calling it a company, but it was just a small workshop. He recruited a group of migrant workers, basically saying that he wanted to make a living with his meager savings.

Seeing that Lu Yuan had no doubts whatsoever, he realized that Lu Yuan's construction task might go wrong this time. However, he didn't offer any further advice, as Lu Yuan was currently very enthusiastic and it wasn't appropriate to discourage him.

So they exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and the other party realized that Lu Yuan and his group were about to leave.

So after a few brief pleasantries, they boarded the ship and left.

Lu Yuan sighed as he watched the other person's departing figure, shook his head helplessly, and then boarded the ship with Xiao Shan and the others, speeding towards the Hope Continent.
