Chapter 106 Chapter 106 Wanping Ecological Restoration Plan is underway...
The number of applicants for the plant adoption program was overwhelming, and the number of qualified applicants far exceeded their expectations. Simply ranking based on rankings seemed unfair, so Tsuruo proposed a new plan. Residents ranked after 1500 with the target points would be randomly selected for adoption through a lottery.
In addition, she will extend the claim period to one week, so everyone will have the opportunity to improve their points within this week.
There was originally a shortage of manpower for city construction, and Heyang just happened to start a series of points-earning tasks.
For example, city cleaning, city volunteers, garbage area management, etc. Or reporting other uncivilized behaviors, illegal behaviors, especially those against the rebels, can all be rewarded with points.
In addition to trees, other shrubs and herbaceous plants have also started to be claimed. Plants of this level require much fewer points.
Since these plants are green, they will definitely need pruning for aesthetic reasons. The city government will publish standardized pruning heights, and residents can prune their plants accordingly. So, once the plants are established, residents will receive trimmed branches and leaves every three months.
This also means that those who take good care of their plants will receive more plants. And overall, claiming other small plants is also very cost-effective. They require less maintenance, grow quickly, and have a shorter harvest time.
After the arrangements here were almost complete, Ye Ning turned his attention to the construction of the ecological zone and crops.
Ye Ning thought the idea they had proposed before, of planting plants along the border, was a very good one.
The area they were currently in was already adjacent to the border. If both sides were to cultivate and expand, they would probably merge together soon.
In this way, the scale of the entire planting area will be very considerable in the future.
However, the planting and daily maintenance tasks of this planting area will mainly be undertaken by soldiers from the Xisha District, so these matters need to be arranged in advance.
Ye Ning plans to carry out planting in urban greening and surrounding planting areas simultaneously.
Anyway, plants have been absorbing pollutants since the moment they sprouted. Unless the rebels burned all the plants, they would still absorb the pollutants even if they ate them.
And even if she set a fire, she wouldn't worry. She could control the weather, if it wasn't raining, she could have a snowstorm, so any fire wouldn't be a problem.
In the morning, Ye Ning was holding a meeting with professors and military personnel from the Xisha area to discuss this matter.
Suddenly, I heard the system prompt sound.
[Congratulations, the Wanping Ecological Restoration Plan has been officially completed.]
[Task Rewards: Ecological Diversity Enhancement Device*1, Ecological Acceleration Device*1.]
Biodiversity Enhancement Device: Biodiversity is key to maintaining ecological balance. Using this device can effectively activate and increase the diversity and complexity of biological populations within a planting area, creating an ecological environment more suitable for the survival of rare plants and animals. It can also effectively optimize soil structure and improve water quality. (3/3)
[Ecological Accelerator: This device can significantly accelerate the ecological cycle and natural recovery in the area. Whether it is vegetation growth, resource regeneration, or the self-repair of damaged ecosystems, it will proceed at an astonishing speed, allowing you to see significant results in a short period of time. (3/3)]
The end of the world has come, but life and hope endure. The Source of Life System is willing to work hand in hand with you to protect the spark of life and create a beautiful ecological future.
[Congratulations on your outstanding completion of all prerequisite tasks. Your outstanding contribution has been recognized by the system.
Next, the planting plan will be fully open for you to explore freely. The system will issue new tasks and corresponding rewards in a timely manner based on your exploration progress. Your achievements will be remembered by history, and we look forward to you creating more ecological miracles.
Ye Ning: "Are there no other tasks?"
The little mushroom nodded. "Because you completed your planting task quickly and effectively, the system has determined that you can now freely perform your duties!"
Ye Ning's bracelet was flashing. It was the latest ecological report sent to her by the person in charge of the Wanping Ecological Restoration Zone.
In fact, the ecological restoration and ecological publicity tasks of the "Wanping Ecological Restoration Zone" have been almost completed long ago. It is only the ecological balance that has been delayed.
The animals they originally introduced were smaller animals, such as reptiles like lizards and snakes; amphibians like frogs and salamanders; and some insects like bees and other invertebrates.
If they had not set up strict monitoring and defense measures around them, the rest of the medium and large mammals would have rushed in long ago.
Large desert herbivores like camels and antelopes have become extinct on this planet, but their genetic information and fertilized eggs are still preserved in the gene bank, so if necessary, they can still appear on this planet.
But Ye Ning felt that there was no need to allow them to appear now. Because they were species that were naturally eliminated during the evolution of species, there were still so many kinds of animals on the Dust Star. The priority should be to ensure the survival conditions of existing species before considering whether to restore extinct animals.
In addition, the latest monitoring data on animals also shows that because the pollution concentration in the Xisha area is continuously and rapidly decreasing, more and more animals in the vicinity are migrating towards the Xisha area.
Small animals are not so bad, but large animals can cause serious damage to plants. For example, a 300-pound adult cow can eat 15% of its body weight in plants every day, which is 45 pounds of grass.
So they conducted many experiments on this step before selecting more suitable carnivorous medium and large mammals.
However, after the arrival of medium and large mammals, the original planted areas were clearly insufficient, and some areas were occasionally damaged. This is why they want to continue expanding the ecological zone.
Ye Ning placed the two devices without hesitation on the green planting area visible to the naked eye.
The best way to solve the problem of animal migration is to allow enough plants to grow in their original habitats.
But apart from the Xisha area, there are many other places where pollution is serious.
In addition to pollutants, other pollution such as heavy metal pollution, industrial pollution, water pollution...
One of the problems encountered by the researchers sent out this time was that the local water was too seriously polluted. Even after multiple filtrations, when the plants took root and came into contact with groundwater or precipitation, they would still be contaminated and cause the plants to become sick.
Before they went to the local area, they could not understand why so many problems arose. After actual investigation, they found that the problems were not so easy to solve.
However, no matter how many problems there are, they can only be solved through time and accumulated experience. However, system-made, quality guaranteed. Using these two tools should purify the pollutants quickly.
Once she has arranged the planting and construction in the Xisha area, she will be able to take time to visit other places.
Ye Ning directly provided a design plan for the new ecological zone. The entire border stretches for hundreds of kilometers. Planting it completely with plants is no easy task, and subsequent maintenance is also required, making it a massive undertaking.
But everyone knew how much this plant-based ecological zone would purify the environment once it was built, so no one raised any objections, no matter how difficult it was.
However, Ye Ning didn't plan to plant everything at once; that was definitely impossible. Just like their current ecological zone, they would first lay a foundation and then expand outwards little by little. With a solid foundation, subsequent planting would be much easier.
The director of the Xisha District Research Institute said, "Master Ye Ning, do you think this arrangement is acceptable?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Ye Ning.
Everyone present was at least a generation older than her. But no matter how authoritative or arrogant they were, they all restrained themselves at this moment.
Ye Ning glanced at the revised content and nodded, "That's great. You've arranged it very well. Let's go through it step by step."
Ye Ning nodded, and the matter was finally finalized.
For the soldiers, touching plants and maintaining them on a daily basis were both good for their health. Over there, they had to draw lots to get their hands on the seedlings personally cultivated by Lord Ye Ning, but now, they could touch them directly, and the thought of it made everyone excited.
The soldiers had been helping to expand the new area.
Although Heyang put the project out for bidding, it was still very difficult to turn an abandoned area that had not been inhabited for decades into a new district.
Existing buildings will be dismantled, and usable resources will be recycled. They will also need to rebuild infrastructure and public service facilities. Drainage systems, sewage treatment, and garbage disposal will also need to be excavated and redesigned and installed. Construction is happening everywhere, and it's impossible to use robots for everything.
So the soldiers were busy with these things for some time, but they have all ended recently and their holidays are over.
However, because of Yan Gang's incident, He Yang re-assumed command of the military and strengthened the training of the soldiers.
Many people found it strange. He Yang only said that Ye Ning would leave the Xisha area and go to other places to guide planting, and at that time she would need a well-trained army to protect her safety.
Most of the soldiers in the Xisha area were born and raised here and have never left the Xisha area in their entire lives.
Now there was an opportunity to follow Ye Ning and leave the Xisha area to see other places, and their enthusiasm was immediately mobilized. During training, each one was more serious than the other.
He Yang knew his men well. While the soldiers in the Xisha region were brave and skilled in combat, they were less than effective when faced with situations that required their brains. This was because previous battles had always been between orcs and pollutants, who had no brains and no need for tactics.
Considering the high possibility of conflict with other orcs, tactical guidance must also be arranged. Therefore, they are now scheduled for two hours of tactical lessons every day.
This capital region was well-equipped, and Gu Su had brought quite a few people with him, all of whom were now in demand. But even with the teaching, the results weren't very good. They hadn't held a pen or read a book in who knows how long, and suddenly being assigned to learn tactics was a complete mess. Some couldn't even recognize a single word after the first day of class.
So when they heard that Ye Ning needed them to help with planting, they all felt relieved. Before the commander finished speaking, they had already lined up neatly outside.
Ye Ning also took ten minutes to hold a mobilization meeting for them before they turned the soil.
She can now give speeches with ease. After her speeches, the soldiers are very excited and feel that they are the future stars of the Xisha region.
Lu Chuan shook his head and said, "It would be great if they could be this passionate during class."
Ye Ning looked at him, "Class?"
Lu Chuan nodded and told her the military’s latest plan.
Ye Ning thought for a moment and said, "It's really boring to talk about theory like this. We still need to combine it with practice. The scope of the Xisha Islands is limited, so it's really not convenient to carry out actual tactical operations."
"But holographic games can do that, and they can also train mental strength. If necessary, I can have someone create an interface for them in the game specifically for practical tactical training. They can also familiarize themselves with the terrain of various places and compete with soldiers from other districts."
Lu Chuan's eyes lit up instantly, "This is a good idea!"
"I'll have someone arrange it right away!"
Ye Ning was also very satisfied. If the tactical system in the game was developed, she could also participate from time to time. This way, others wouldn't have to make time to accompany her.
