Chapter 386: Artificial Little Sun, Rebuilding Lijia Village

Li Xiang finally got home, so he naturally spent more time with his family, especially his grandmother.

He cooked a large table of dishes himself, and had a reunion dinner with Jiang Caier, Li Xiang, Grandma, Jiang Jianguo and his wife, their two sons and one daughter, a family of eight.

Grandma Li Xiang is now 95 years old, Jiang Jianguo and his wife are 65 and 64 respectively, Jiang Caier is 42 years old, and Li Xiang is nearly 50.

But in terms of appearance, Li Xiang and Jiang Caier don't look old at all, and they look almost the same as their sons who are in their early twenties. Their daughter Li Xinyue is almost 18 and will soon face the college entrance examination.

In fact, with the Li family's current status and position, it doesn't matter whether she takes the exam or not. It's just a formality. The best university in the world, No. 03 City University of Science and Technology, has already extended an olive branch to her in advance.

Li Xinyue inherited her mother's memory palace ability, and will continue to follow the path of a scientific research-oriented extraordinary person in the future.

Li Xiang looked at the grown-up children, who were not very close to him and seemed a bit distant. He couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, because he had been away with the seven girls for six or seven years, basically missing the children's best golden growth period.

In fact, what he didn't know was that the children admired him very much, but when they looked at the "big brother" in front of them, they couldn't even utter the word "Dad".

After shouting once, it felt really awkward when I shouted a second time.

Li Xinyue couldn't help but said, "Why don't I just call you brother, Brother Xiang!"

Li Xiang glared at him and scolded him with a stern face: "You have no respect for your elders!"

Jiang Caier couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why don't you use some magic to make yourself older? I can't do that. After all, I'm a woman and I love beauty."

Li Xinyue made a face and called out crisply, "Sister Cai'er!"

Jiang Caier: "...you little girl...you have no respect for your parents..."

"Ha ha!"

For a moment, everyone burst into laughter.

Li Xiang's grandmother laughed so hard that her nose and tears came out. She took a tissue and wiped her tears while saying, "You are all young, and being young is good. It's just me and your grandpa and grandma who are old."

The grandparents that Li Xiang's grandmother mentioned were naturally Jiang Jianguo and his wife, the grandparents of the children. As for Li Xiang's grandparents, well, they passed away last year. But Li Xiang was far away in space, and no one could notify him, so he was unable to attend the funeral. It has to be said that it is a pity.

After coming back, Li Xiang had already taken some time to visit his grandparents' graves to pay homage.

The ancients said that it is right not to travel far away while one's parents are still alive. Although his parents died early, there are many elders in his family, so he should not travel far away.

He decided not to go out for the next few years because his grandmother was really old. If something happened to her, he would miss the last time to see her if he was not at home.

"As for me, I don't have many years left. I'm living one day less every day. All the people of my generation in the village are gone." The grandmother was very emotional. She naturally knew the achievements of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and knew that they would all live a long time, so she was happy for them.

The three little guys have already reached the Saint level. Once they enter the Saint level, they will have a lifespan of hundreds of years.

Li Xiang said: "Grandma, you will definitely live to be 150 years old."

Grandma Li Xiang smiled and said, "I know my own body. I am very satisfied now. Xiang'er, now that those space monsters have been driven away, shouldn't we go back to the surface? I want to go and see the old house and yard."

"Okay, give me seven days, Cai'er and I will clean up the old house, and then we will go upstairs." Li Xiang would naturally fulfill the old man's wish.

Although he is the ruler of the planet, grandma was actually on the verge of death in her early years. She was only able to live to the age of ninety-five thanks to him and Jiang Caier using elixirs. Perhaps, she really only has a few years left, and she might just pass away one day.

Jiang Caier also secretly told Li Xiang that there was another way, which was to upload grandma's consciousness and turn it into a digital life, or clone a cyborg, so that grandma could live another life. Although the technology is not yet mature, it can be tried.

But when grandma found out, she rejected Li Xiang and Jiang Caier's kindness without even thinking about it.

At that time, the old man just said: "I am already very satisfied to live to 95 and watch my great-grandchildren grow up. If I really use the method you said, I will become a monster. I am also tired, so please don't torment me. In the future, don't let me take any more magic medicine. Just let nature take its course and die naturally. I miss my parents, and your grandfather and parents too."

Li Xiang and Jiang Caier naturally respected the old man's opinions.

After dinner, Li Xiang and Jiang Caier went to the surface and began to renovate the original Lijia Village.

In fact, not only Li Xiang's grandmother wanted to come up and take a look, but also Jiang Jianguo and his wife, and other living people in the village also wanted to see the old house. And some younger generations, especially those born after the end of the world, who had never seen the old ancestral house, also wanted to come up and take a look.

But the surface was dark, cold, and icy. Without some repairs, ordinary people would get seriously ill if they came up there. The knife-like cold wind alone was not something that ordinary people could resist.

After so many years, Lijia Village has long been in ruins, many houses have collapsed, many animals and plants have died, the ecology has been severely damaged, and the oxygen is thin.

Li Xiang used his divine power to restore Lijia Village according to his memory. Houses were built one by one, streams were restored to flow, roads were rebuilt, and ponds were filled with water...

Jiang Caier took out the latest artificial sun developed by "Tiansuan Energy Technology" and suspended it ten kilometers in the air, illuminating an area of ​​hundreds of miles as if it were daytime.

Zhao Xueqing was also invited to restore the vegetation in Lijia Village and the surrounding area.

Within a radius of 100 miles centered on Lijia Village, the oxygen gradually became denser and the temperature gradually rose.

Not only did all kinds of vegetation grow, but many animals were also transferred from the underground city, including chickens, ducks, geese, fish, cats, dogs...

In seven days, Li Xiang, Jiang Caier, and Zhao Xueqing, like the gods of creation, restored the originally dark and cold Old Lijia Village to its former glory before the end of the world.

Especially the courtyard of Li Xiang’s house, which is almost exactly the same as the original.

The big red cowhide war drums were also put back in their original places. The drum had been damaged over the years, so Li Xiang used the skin of a monster to make a new one. In the past, making a drum required complicated craftsmanship and a long time, but now it only takes about ten minutes.

During these ten minutes or so, a great deal of thought was put into carving out the details, trying to keep it as consistent as possible with the original.

Even the former bloodstone forest, vegetable garden, persimmon trees, peach trees, wintersweets, Dieshu Waterfall, etc., have been replicated exactly.

Not only Li Xiang's family, but also the entire village, Jiang Caier's family, the former clan ancestral hall, and the mountain god temple on the top of the mountain in front of the village, every blade of grass and every tree are almost the same as before the end of the world.

Er Huang, the little fox, and the others heard about this and ran up to their old kennels. The dog and the fox squeezed together in the small kennel, feeling very happy.

The rooster, the goose, the cats and the hedgehogs have also returned.

Xiaobai brought his friends to the vegetable garden, took a bite of a newly grown tomato, and squinted his eyes because of the sourness.

The pandas also returned to the back mountain, eating tender bamboo leisurely.

It was as if the end of the world had never come.

In a peaceful atmosphere, the small alloy gate on the back mountain opened. Li Xiang carried his grandmother, Jiang Caier and Jiang Jianguo, their two sons and one daughter, and other people from Lijia Village, such as Li Yucheng and his wife, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, Lei Jiaming... and other villagers from miles around, all came out of the alloy gate and returned to Lijia Village.

This small gate is rarely opened. There are several entrances and exits in other places in the entire underground city, including giant alloy doors that are tens of meters high.

"Wow, so beautiful! Is this our old home?" Li Xinyue was eighteen years old, in the prime of her life. She looked 70% similar to Jiang Caier and 30% similar to Li Xiang. She was lively and quirky.

The two sons were calmer.

After visiting Li Xiang's house and yard, everyone went outside and walked around the village, chatting and laughing. They walked back and forth several times.

Li Xiang’s grandmother was old and physically weak, so most of the time, Li Xiang had to carry her on his back.

Jiang Caier actually designed a smart wheelchair for the elderly, which can be controlled by voice and driven automatically, so it can go wherever the elderly want, but Li Xiang still wanted to carry his grandmother on his back.

If you don’t memorize it now, you won’t have the chance to memorize it in a few years.

Li Xiang talked about the scene when it snowed heavily and his third grandmother's house collapsed. He carried his third grandmother back to his own home. Both his grandmother and Cai'er said that it was still vivid in their minds, as if it happened yesterday.

"Brother, let me sing another old song for you." Jiang Caier said.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Li Xinyue was very curious and asked, "Mom, can you sing? What song do you sing?"

Li Xiang said: "When your mother was young, she had a first-rate singing voice and could play various musical instruments. She was definitely a talented woman."

Under everyone's attention, Jiang Caier sang a song "Spring Courtyard Snow": "The pear blossoms in the courtyard have fallen for another year. Standing in the clear night, the moonlight shines on the empty steps. In my dream, the sheng and the xiao play the old music. When I wake up, my face is stained with tears..."

This song is really old. It was a popular internet song from almost 25 years ago. Li Xinyue and her two brothers have never heard of it.

"It sounds really nice. It turns out that people liked this style in the past."

After Jiang Caier finished singing, Li Xinyue also jumped up and down to sing a few songs, but no matter the lyrics, the style of music, the singing method, the change of breath, etc., they were all completely different from the previous old songs.

In particular, now is an era of both supernatural and technology. Li Xiang announced a breathing method, and almost everyone knows a little about it. Many songs are interspersed with breathing methods. Various new pronunciation techniques and singing styles emerge in an endless stream, and each generation is indeed stronger than the previous one.

Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, Lei Jiaming and others also went back to their ancestral homes to take a look.

Now that someone has created the little sun and Li Xiang is the master of the earth, many people are indeed considering whether to move back home.

However, more people are unwilling to move because the underground city is warmer and more livable, and has complete supporting facilities, including shopping, medical care, education, leisure, entertainment... everything you need, and is full of high technology.

Back on the surface, it is a desolate countryside, while the underground city is the most developed city on the entire planet, full of lights and wine, and extremely bustling.

All we can say is that everyone has their own ideas and aspirations. Li Xiang doesn't force this kind of thing. In fact, living underground is pretty good.

Lijia Village has regained its former glory. The video was posted online by some villagers. Netizens around the world were amazed, envious and excited. They strongly requested Li Shen to support more artificial suns to help everyone rebuild their homes on the surface.

【Netizens from Central Plains Provinces】

"God Li's move is amazing! Now we can grow wheat on the surface. When can we, the people living along the Yellow River, get our own artificial sun? I beg you to give us priority in the pilot project!"

【Book Province Netizens】

"The scene of the Qingquan Bamboo Pavilion in Lijia Village is so touching! And the war drum is so beautiful! We want to rebuild the traditional hot spring house in the volcanic hot spring area in Hokkaido, and request technical support from Tiansuan Energy Group! PS: It would be even better if the Sakura Festival could be restored (hands folded)"

【Gaul Province Netizens】

“Surface vineyards! Surface vineyards! @李翔大掌柜, the lavender fields and wine estates in Provence need customized photosynthesis solutions! We are willing to exchange the century-old wine cellar for the quota of artificial little suns!”

【Netizens from Siberia】

"Watermelons grown in permafrost?! These are three times bigger than the ones our Academy of Sciences grew using a nuclear fusion greenhouse last year! The Ural Mountains have applied to become an aurora observation + agricultural demonstration base!"

【Gangetic State Representative】

"The once fertile Ganges Plain has long since become a wasteland. We request that Academician Zhao Xueqing's team be sent to guide ecological restoration! We have prepared 300,000 migrant workers and 100,000 planting robots to stand by!"

(After Li Xiang became the Lord of the Earth and the global transportation network was restored, Kanna resigned from her job as the Earth Vein Envoy and returned to her hometown, gathering tens of millions of refugees and establishing the Ganges State. The Ganges State has six large underground cities and some small shelters. Since she was an old employee under Li Xiang and had made contributions, the state was successfully incorporated into Country C and has been developing rapidly, far surpassing other underground cities on the South Asian subcontinent.) [Alps State]

"I have seen the magnificent scenery of Lijia Village. It is so beautiful, just like heaven! I strongly suggest building an interstellar ski resort on the Jungfrau. The artificial little sun combined with God Jiang's quantum climate regulator can definitely create a 365-day ice and snow wonderland!"

【Sahara Energy Zone】

"Turning the desert into an oasis is not a dream! We have successfully fixed the sand with the honeycomb shield matrix, and we urgently need artificial small suns to build a super photovoltaic farm! We are willing to supply 90% of the electricity generated by Tiansuan Energy to the West China Power Grid!"

Of course, outside of Country C, there are also many netizens who are jealous and feel that the grapes are sour. After all, there are still nearly a hundred underground cities that have not been incorporated into Country C.

Many people in the underground city are half-naked, hungry, with chaotic public security and constant robberies. However, they insist on being self-reliant and are willing to live a hard life. Li Xiang and Jiang Caier are left alone. They are too weak, not worth mentioning, and not worth spending too much energy on.

[Free Cities Alliance (North America)]

"A few powerful god-like figures worked hard for many days, and finally built a model village. What kind of ability is this? Planetary Domination Realm, God King Realm, is this all they can do? Our underground city that adheres to 'free survivalism' is the beacon of human civilization! We refuse AI to control our lives! ... But by the way, can @Tiansuan Energy's helium-3 quota be paid with Bitcoin?"

One netizen commented: "You speak so harshly and disrespectfully to God Li. It is already generous of him not to send down a miracle to punish you. You still want to use Bitcoin, a rubbish and worthless thing, to exchange for precious helium-3 energy? Isn't this just wishful thinking?"

"That's right. Times have changed. Let alone Bitcoin, even your old US dollars are worthless now. You don't even check the exchange rate. It takes tens of thousands of dollars to exchange for one dollar of heat currency. It's too rough to even wipe your butt with."

【South Asian United City-States】

"The 100,000 planting robots that Ganges State boasted about were made by our lost engineers! Does Country C dare to disclose the patent pool of cold nuclear fusion technology? Oh, and could you please not be so stingy and cut off our submarine optical cables every time? Since we are talking about global interconnection, we should be able to afford it and not cut off our network at every turn!"

[Antarctic Research Autonomous Territory]

"The solution of using nuclear fuel cells to melt ice and obtain water has been blocked by Country C's patent wall for three years! The data we measured is obviously more accurate than that of City 03... (Screenshot of the laboratory log has been deleted) Can Goddess Jiang re-evaluate the Joint Research Proposal No. 0927?"
