Chapter 81 Chapter 81 [Wanping Ecological Restoration Plan]...
Bitter melon juice is made from the fruit of a plant, so even though it tasted unpalatable, everyone drank it anyway.
Xiluo Si's handsome features were twisted together. He was about to say something when he saw Ye Ning looking at him, "Don't you like it? This is really good for your health."
Silos gritted his teeth, endured the bitterness, and drank it in one gulp.
Long Qi's expression remained stern, but Ye Ning noticed that his fingers, gripping the cup, had become somewhat stiff.
Feeling Ye Ning's gaze, Long Qi paused for a second and drank it all in one breath.
But after the strong bitterness passed, everyone gradually began to feel a hint of sweetness and a unique sense of freshness.
The temperature outside had risen to over 40 degrees Celsius. Everyone who had originally felt extremely hot suddenly felt their whole bodies cool down.
"I've been feeling dry mouth and throat these past few days in Xisha District. Now, after drinking this bitter melon juice, I feel less dry and thirsty."
"Yes, it tastes bitter at first, but the aftertaste is surprisingly sweet."
"It's naturally the best since it was arranged by Lord Ye Ning himself."
Someone nearby immediately looked at Ye Ning, raised their glass, and said, "Thank you, Master Ye Ning."
A series of thanks followed. Ye Ning looked at them with a smile, "As long as you like it, there's still plenty over there. Today, I'll provide it to everyone for free in unlimited quantities."
Ye Ning drank another glass without changing her expression.
Hou Lin was a little impressed by Ye Ning. She usually only drank the bitter melon soup, but today she could drink cup after cup of such bitter bitter melon juice.
Le Song looked at Ye Ning's cup and twitched his nose. What was in Ye Ning's cup didn't seem to be bitter melon.
Seeing that everyone had finished drinking, the leading researcher continued, "Thank you all for coming to the Xisha area today to witness this desert miracle. Now, please allow me to lead you into the 2,000-person planting area carefully created by Master Ye Ning, so that we can feel the power of life together."
They had previously divided the six areas into ABCDEF, with designated gaps between them. However, the original intention of leaving these paths was not for walking, but simply to distinguish the six areas.
So at this time, a lot of plants also appeared on the path.
"Before you go in, there's one very important thing I want to remind everyone. You can touch the plants inside, but please don't damage them. Any damage will trigger their defense mechanisms and cause harm to your body."
This was what Ye Ning emphasized in advance, asking them to always remind everyone.
She still had the insect repellent on in this area, and with so many people here today, it was inevitable someone would get a little tempted. Plus, it was being broadcast live worldwide. If someone disobeyed the rules and triggered the insect repellent, getting injured, it would serve as a deterrent to others.
As soon as they entered, everyone felt the so-called "10-degree" temperature difference and the extremely low pollution concentration. This clean and comfortable feeling is something that no purification or filtration equipment can achieve.
The plants inside are arranged in an orderly manner, some are low, some are high, some are big, and some are small. Green plants taller than them can be seen everywhere!
This scene seemed like a dream to all the orcs present!
The sunlight shines through the surrounding plants, casting mottled shadows on the ground. Birds sing and insects chirp all around, and every breath you take is filled with the fresh and clean scent of plants.
It seems to have crossed the boundary between dreams and reality, making it unbelievable and yet extremely real.
"Everyone, take a look over here," the researcher directed the group's attention. "This is a mixed area of various herbs and shrubs. This planting combination itself has already formed an ecosystem. They are interdependent and mutually reinforcing, maximizing the stability and resilience of this area's ecosystem."
…
“There are actually bird eggs there.”
Someone exclaimed, and everyone stopped in surprise, and the camera flew over.
A large owl sat quietly in its nest, several round, smooth eggs nestled between its chest and body. Seeing everyone looking over, it immediately looked at them warily.
Ye Ning secretly threw a small ball of supernatural power to it, and the next second, the owl's eyes became clear again.
There were boundaries on the perimeter, so no one dared to get too close. A professor pushed his glasses and said, "It actually laid five eggs at once!"
After the apocalypse, resources are scarce and the reproductive capacity of all creatures is declining. Even if they don't know much about owls, they know that laying five eggs at once is a huge improvement in reproductive capacity!
Researcher: "Yes, changes in the reproduction rate of biological populations are also an important criterion for measuring whether an ecosystem is balanced. Only when the environment is safe, food is sufficient, and the climate is suitable can the population recover and grow rapidly..."
"In fact, not to mention the insects and birds, even if we stay in this kind of environment for a long time, our health will be much better."
Everyone nodded frequently.
Someone even walked up to Ye Ning, looking at her with shining eyes, "Lady Ye Ning, our Central Asia Continent is hot and rainy, with abundant sunlight and heat. Thousands of years ago, we had the most plant species on the Sea Dust Planet, and the conditions for plant growth are much better than those in the Xisha area. On behalf of the Central Asia Continent, I implore you to help us cultivate such a lush planting area. We are willing to do our best to meet any request you make."
"Damn, so cunning, he's still on tour and he's already extended an invitation to Lord Ye Ning."
"This person looks familiar, does anyone know him?"
"Found him! He's the deputy district chief of the largest district in Central Asia!"
"The Central Asia Continent is so foresighted that they even sent the deputy district chief. They are so sincere. No wonder they can say that they will meet any request."
…
Everyone looked over. They didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to invite Ye Ning as soon as they came in to visit.
As soon as the man finished speaking, Ye Ning found the location of the Central Asian Continent in her mind. The Central Asian Continent is located near the equator and belongs to the tropical rainforest climate zone. It is hot and humid all year round, and the climate is stable. Therefore, it once had a rich variety of plant species and the highest vegetation coverage rate on the Dust Planet.
The biggest advantage of the Central Asian continent is that plants are evergreen all year round, and rice can be harvested three times a year, which means that plants can absorb pollutants continuously all year round.
Perhaps because the environment in the Xisha area is so bad, she now thinks it is easy to plant crops in any place she hears about.
The next second, Ye Ning smiled and nodded, "Of course."
"But I'm very short of people right now, so you can send more outstanding researchers here."
Everyone:!!!
"Master Ye Ning, I am a professor in Yongfeng District—"
"Master Ye Ning, I am the director of the research institute in the North Asian continent—"
"Master Ye Ning, I am the chairman of Fuyou Group—"
…
The situation got a little out of control in an instant. Everyone in the room was a person of status and position, but for a moment they didn't care about politeness and manners. They all rushed to introduce themselves, fearing that they would fall behind.
Ye Ning made a quiet gesture, indicating that everyone should be quiet.
Everyone fell silent instantly.
Ye Ning: "Don't worry, everyone. If Xisha District can successfully grow so many plants, other districts will definitely recover faster and better."
Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, yet powerful and immediately calmed everyone's excitement.
"My goal is the same as everyone else's. We all hope that Dust Planet will return to its former green and lush state. However, this is closely linked to every person on Dust Planet. We need everyone's joint efforts to achieve this goal more quickly."
"The ecological conditions in each area are different, so I hope that outstanding talents from all regions will actively join us so that we can better help you restore the outdoor ecological environment."
Ye Ning took the opportunity to advertise her research institute.
In fact, for each district, having their own people come to the research institute would actually make them happier and more reassured. Furthermore, "it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish," and she wanted to mobilize more people to engage in planting.
If the plant area of the entire Dust Star can be revitalized and everyone can plant it, the pollution in the entire world will definitely be reduced rapidly in a short period of time.
"Wow, Master Ye Ning, seriously, I'm crying my eyes out. I'm going to start learning how to grow plants for an hour every day starting today!"
"Me too. I've already bought the seed package and plan to start with rock grass and seaweed balls. These two seem easy to grow."
"Yes, these two are the basic packages. Gaojiang District also provides after-sales service. If the plants get sick, you can take them back and ask them to help treat them."
The main reason is that I don’t want to waste seeds and also want to increase customer stickiness.
She actually no longer cared whether there were any rebels among these people. If they dared to damage the plants, it would only arouse public outrage and strengthen everyone's determination to wipe out the rebels.
"Everyone, let's continue our tour," the researcher refocused their attention. "The next area is..."
The entire planting area is actually not very large, but it still took nearly an hour to walk around and listen to the explanation.
After the visit, everyone was given 20 minutes of free time.
The crowd dispersed in the planting area.
The number of orcs around Ye Ning had finally decreased, and a few pure humans came to greet them. Ye Ning was friendly and unassuming, and they soon began to talk together.
The camera moves away from them in due time.
A few minutes later, a man suddenly asked, "Ye Ning, have you been in Xisha District before? We haven't heard of you in all these years."
As soon as he asked this question, everyone around looked at Ye Ning, including the nearby orcs, who also pricked up their ears.
Ye Ning smiled and said, "I don't remember either."
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean by don't remember?"
"I was seriously injured before and lost my memory when I woke up. Then I was rescued by people from the Xisha District." If she didn't explain, they would probably have been troubled by this issue forever.
Everyone's faces were filled with surprise and astonishment. "Didn't the people from Xisha District go to help you investigate the situation?"
Ye Ning shook her head and said, "I didn't find any useful information."
"But it doesn't matter anymore. As long as I'm safe now, that's all I need."
Everyone nodded immediately, and the man sighed, "It's not easy for us pure humans either. We have to grow plants and worry about our own safety."
"Yes, there are always some resistant orcs who think we live an easy and comfortable life, but they have no idea how hard we work and how much effort we put in planting crops all day long."
A few more people echoed.
That was still much easier and more comfortable than living with ordinary orcs. Ye Ning didn't say anything, but just smiled at them.
She didn't respond, and the group of people were unable to continue talking.
One of them simply changed the subject, "After Yan Gang disappeared, the position of president of the Pure Human Association became vacant. Do you want to run for it? With your ability and charisma, the position of president belongs to you."
"President of the Pure Human Association?" Ye Ning had never heard of this. There were some associations for pure humans.
The woman nodded. "Pure humans are few in number, so we must help each other to better protect our own interests. The president represents the external image of all pure humans in the Federation. Besides that—"
"Someone fainted!"
"Hurry, carry him out first!"
"It's actually Lord Feng Yue!"
Ye Ning hurriedly walked in that direction, and the remaining pure humans looked at each other and followed.
Gu Su walked out quickly, holding Feng Yue, who had fallen into a coma.
Ye Ning walked up to them, "What happened to her?"
Gu Su frowned slightly. Facing Ye Ning like this, he found it difficult to speak for a moment.
Ye Ning: "Send her to the lounge first. There's a doctor here who can examine her right away. But you'd better tell us what happened so the doctor can quickly rule out the cause and prescribe the right medicine."
Feng Yue's hand suddenly slipped from her, and a few broken leaves fell to the ground.
Everyone then realized that what she was tightly holding in her hands were plant stems and torn leaves.
Ye Ning's gaze, and everyone's gaze, fell on Feng Yue's hand.
Needless to say, everyone knew what happened.
Ye Ning looked at Hou Lin behind her and said, "Tell the doctor that she has been poisoned."
Hou Lin quickly used the bracelet to communicate with the doctor.
Ye Ning looked at Gu Su again and said, "This insecticide is very effective in killing insects, and it automatically adjusts the dosage. But this is the first time it's been used on humans, so we can't guarantee the level of toxins or the therapeutic effect."
"Fuck! Didn't they tell us not to harm the plants? How could Lord Feng Yue still break so many plant stems and leaves?"
"So I'm not kidding. Is this insecticide so strong?"
"With such a large area of plants here, what if they're stolen or destroyed if we don't take some measures? We definitely need to use multiple methods to protect them."
"Ahhhh, I'm a little annoyed. Is that something I can say? I've reminded her more than once, and there are even slogans posted everywhere in the planting area. But she insisted on harming the plants, and now she's been poisoned. Will she blame Master Ye Ning later?"
"It's a live broadcast. Everyone knows what's right and wrong. They definitely wouldn't dare to do that."
…
Hou Lin turned off the bracelet and said, "It's all arranged. Come with me."
Gu Su nodded, and immediately followed Hou Lin holding Feng Yue.
Ye Ning looked at the fallen leaves on the ground, squatted down, gathered them together, and then buried them in the planting area next to her.
She asked Little Mushroom, "Is her poisoning serious?"
The little mushroom shook his head. "She only damaged the leaves of the Haloxylon ammodendron tree. Haloxylon ammodendron trees are quite large, so this damage is not significant, so the pesticide released isn't very significant."
Ye Ning nodded, "That's good."
They had warned her many times to prevent this kind of thing, but she still did it. It was probably more of an expression of dissatisfaction with her than with the plants.
Of course, it is also possible that she is just rebellious, and the more others forbid her to do something, the more she wants to do it.
Anyway, the dosage of the insecticide was not large, so it would be a good idea to teach her a lesson.
Ye Ning buried the leaves and washed her hands. Then she looked at everyone and said, "It's almost time for lunch. I've prepared some fruits and vegetables for everyone. Let's go eat first."
Everyone was reluctant to leave such a clean environment full of plant fragrance.
But the chef prepared seaweed and winter melon soup, and the fruit was washed cucumbers. Both were generous and filling, and since there were so many people, even one cucumber had to be cut into thirds. But no one had ever eaten anything like this before.
Everyone chewed the food slowly, reluctant to swallow it.
Ye Ning drank another glass of cucumber juice. Cucumber juice with sugar was delicious and refreshing.
All the pure humans ate at the same table with her. It was the first time for everyone to have such a sumptuous lunch, with so many plants and fruits, and it was cooked so deliciously.
Those who have a big appetite can order two more bowls of rice.
The chef was really distressed. Rice was so precious. For some reason, so many pure humans came today and ate up all of Ye Ning's seven or eight kilograms of rice.
Perhaps because they were surrounded by orcs, their conversation turned into daily greetings and communication on planting techniques.
Ye Ning mostly listened to what they were saying, and would only respond if they asked her a question. Otherwise, she would just quietly eat her food.
While eating, Ye Ning suddenly heard the system prompt sound.
[Congratulations! The Qianping Ecological Restoration Project has been officially completed.]
[Task Reward: Current Area Climate Control (3/3).]
[The current regional climate control function has been unlocked. ]
The little mushroom danced with joy, "Ningning is finally unlocked, come and have a look!"
Ye Ning immediately followed the system's instructions and turned on the climate control.
The currently selected area is: "Xisha District 2000 square meters ecological restoration area".
Operation panel:
1. Temperature regulation:
Minimum value: "-30°C" (extreme cold)
Maximum: "+70°C" (extremely hot)
Current value displayed: "48°C" (very hot)
2. Precipitation control (optional: "Rain", "Snow", "Hail"):
Minimum value: "0 mm/day" (no rainfall)
Maximum value: "50mm/day" (heavy rain)
Current value displayed: "0mm/month" (drought climate)
3. Wind force and direction adjustment:
Minimum value: "Level 0 wind" (no wind)
Maximum: "Force 12" (hurricane)
Current value displayed: "Force 7 wind" (strong wind)
4. Lighting management:
Minimum value: "Light level 0" (no light)
Maximum: "Light Level 8" (strong full sun)
Current value displayed: "Level 6 Light" (full sunlight)
5. Future climate predictions:
Click to display a weather forecast chart for the next 36 hours.
The first four are in the form of sliders, and she can confirm them individually or adjust them together before confirming.
Ye Ning tried to pull it, and it was very smooth. She only had three free chances, and each adjustment after that would cost 1,000 gold coins.
However, the plants in the Xisha area can survive in the current environment, and it will only be better if she makes some adjustments.
Ye Ning: "Can this be applied in other areas?"
[Yes, but it also costs gold coins. ]
Ye Ning immediately switched to the 2,000-square-meter planting area in Gaojiang District. The climate control center was also in the upper right corner. She then clicked on the ocean. The control panel on the ocean was completely different from the one on land.
They are the water temperature regulation zone, the ocean current and tide control zone, and the weather and climate influence zone. Weather refers to the weather over the ocean, such as heavy rain, typhoons, etc.
Currently, it seems only the Xisha Islands require her to make adjustments. However, she can't make these adjustments haphazardly. She needs to let researchers determine the appropriate climate data, and then she can make adjustments gradually. This will give the plants time to adapt and won't cause any surprises.
Ye Ning was still checking the climate control center when she heard a new system sound.
Congratulations! You have officially started the "Advanced Ecological Restoration" challenge: the Wanping Ecological Restoration Plan.
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.
[1. Ecological restoration: Within an area of 10,000 square meters, the ecological restoration of the area will be fully completed, including but not limited to vegetation configuration, terrain shaping, water system guidance, etc., and clearly divided into different functional blocks.
2. Ecological balance: Introduce more native plant species to ensure that there are no less than 100 plant species in the restoration area, and give priority to the restoration of key ecological niche species; attract and maintain at least 20 wild animal populations to improve the construction of the regional ecological chain.
3. Ecological publicity: As a leader and builder of ecological restoration, you must organize at least one large-scale public education event and establish an ecological education base in or around the ecological restoration area. Invite volunteers to assist you in carrying out ecological education practices and cultivate the public's awareness and sense of responsibility for ecological protection.
(Note: If the number of volunteers participating is greater than 100, the direct audience is greater than 1,000, and the indirect audience is greater than 10,000, you will receive a 100 gold coin reward for each successful promotion.)
[Task Rewards: Ecological Diversity Enhancement Device*1, Ecological Acceleration Device*1.]
Biodiversity enhancement and acceleration equipment!
Ye Ning's eyes lit up. Since these two items could be used as rewards for Wanping's ecological restoration, they must be very special.
She has now expanded to 4,000 square meters. If it were 10,000 square meters, it would be 2.5 times the current size. It is neither too big nor too small.
But there is strength in numbers. She can now use more people than before, so planting should not be too difficult.
But there are still many details to pay attention to, and she will discuss it with the researchers later.
Ye Ning was in a very good mood. When she was in a good mood, her expression became brighter and more cheerful.
Everyone paused, and a sister next to them put down her chopsticks and said, "How can you be so beautiful?"
"The Capital District still has the nerve to say you are a member of the Ye family. How could they possibly give birth to a child as beautiful as you?"
Ye Nan looked over and said, "Don't make personal attacks casually."
The woman smiled. She looked at Ye Ning, then suddenly moved closer to her and whispered in her ear, "We happen to have some time tonight. Let's make an appointment to meet privately."
