Ji Yongxing explained his plan in great detail and finally confirmed the division of labor among the three parties. The giant and the old man's tribesmen each performed their duties and cooperated with each other, while the bird was responsible for coordinating the progress of the plan and coordinating any problems that might arise among the parties.
After making such arrangements, Ji Yongxing suddenly felt a little weak. He slowly fell from the sky and said to his friends:
“This is a huge project and it may take many years to complete.
"I need to sleep for a while. If there is any problem that cannot be solved, you can wake me up."
The giant, the old man and the bird all nodded when they heard this. After placing the sleeping great prophet in an absolutely safe cave by the sea, the huge project started in full swing on this land.
---
A beam of light shone on Ji Yongxing's eyelids, slowly regaining his consciousness. He half opened his eyes, shielded the light with his weak palms and looked in the direction of the light source. The huge cliff entrance revealed the complete figure of a young human being. On his shoulder stood a small bird with a colorful head and red claws, and behind him was a huge single eye that was scanning inward.
The dusty memories returned to Ji Yongxing's mind again. He remembered everything he had experienced before, and at the same time he felt that he seemed to have remembered more knowledge that did not belong to this world.
"What do you want from me?"
Ji Yongxing shook his head and felt dizzy.
"Great prophet, our plan has encountered new problems. My great-grandfather once told me that I could seek your advice."
Said the young human who was almost the same size as Ji Yongxing.
"Great-grandfather?"
Ji Yongxing flew up tremblingly and regained his former abilities.
"Yeah, the plan has been going on for a hundred years."
The little bird with a flower head on the boy's shoulder, whose feathers were much brighter than before, smiled and said:
"That old man is the child's great-grandfather."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Ji Yongxing flew out of the hole in the rock wall and saw the giant chief with a much longer beard.
Everyone sat down again on the beach which had become farmland. Ji Yongxing looked at the giants, humans and birds and asked:
"What problems did you encounter?"
After everyone looked at each other, the giant spoke first:
“Let me start by saying that the plan to capture the sun has hit a bottleneck.
"Twenty years ago, we built the last road that divided the sea. After running eastward, we ended up returning to the starting point from the west."
The giant stretched out his hand and drew two concentric circles on the ground and explained:
"So, the world we live in is actually round, and it's a small circle. The sun is actually a big circle. Doesn't that mean we can never catch it?"
Ji Yongxing nodded and looked at the bird:
"What's your problem?"
The bird pointed to the coastline that had retreated to the horizon and said:
"The method you mentioned of reclaiming land from the sea is indeed useful, but I found that the amount of water in the ocean is fixed. If we reclaim land on this continent, the sea level on the other side will rise, and it is easy to cause a bigger disaster."
At this point, the bird sighed with some fear:
"Fortunately, you stopped my plan in time. Otherwise, if the waves broke through the dam, I would have become a sinner, no, a sinning bird."
Ji Yongxing looked at the other party's small body and thought of the action of a crow holding a stone in its mouth like drinking water. He felt that such a result would not occur even in ten thousand years.
Finally, he looked at the old man's great-grandson and asked:
"What's your problem?"
The young man spread his hands and said:
"My problem is easy to solve, because the two mountains have been dug clean, and the tribesmen are confused about what to do next. After all, we have been digging mountains since we were old enough to understand. Now that the mountains are gone, we still miss them."
Ji Yongxing's mouth twitched and he fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he found a branch and drew a line between the two concentric circles:
"Since the outer circle is always larger than the inner circle, we in the inner circle should build a tower to the sky and capture the sun on the tower."
He then drew a depression inwards on the inner circle and said:
"The capacity of the ocean can be expanded by increasing its depth, and the excavated soil and rocks can be used to build tall towers."
He finally looked at the young man and said:
"Digging mountains and digging soil is not your family's mission. Now that the mountains are gone, you should pursue your own ideals. What are your ideals?"
The young man answered without thinking:
"Dig!"
Ji Yongxing slapped himself in the face and his brain went into a brief blackout.
"...It's not impossible. Anyway, you can do whatever you want. There's no need to confine yourself to digging mountains and soil."
"Okay, we get it."
Ji Yongxing let out a long sigh, and suddenly felt sleepy again. He looked at his friends around him, stood up and flew back to the cave on the rock wall.
In the following time, Ji Yongxing was awakened many times. With the gradually clearer memories of his past life in his mind, he solved problems for the friends he met many times, but he himself seemed to be in a vortex of time, his entire soul was thrown out of his body, watching the world playing at double speed from the perspective of a bystander.
The "Tower of Babel" and "Deep Sea" projects were completed in the third century. Most tsunamis were eliminated before they occurred, and the giants discovered that the sun was located much higher than they had imagined.
As for humans, they invented many efficient machines to dig faster, better and more perfectly.
Just when the giants were about to give up, humans inspired by Ji Yongxing came up with another idea -
flight.
The rocket was manufactured in the ninth century, and two hundred years later, the giant chief, who had reached middle age, finally walked in space, accomplishing an almost indescribable feat.
He fully understood the difference between the huge sphere he was on and the sun. It was not something that could be easily solved with a rope or a tall tower.
In the 1,532nd year of the Shanhai calendar, the final "one-way mirror" plan was finally completed perfectly.
Countless mirror satellites with three states of light-transmitting, light-reflecting and light-blocking have been launched around the earth. Under the precise operation of the giants, every beam of light from the sun is controlled, and every corner of the earth can be bathed in sunlight.
The sea had long been completely tamed by the bird using technological means, and was now completely under her control.
Humans are growing in numbers, trying to become as good at everything as they are at digging dirt and launching rockets.
Ji Yongxing's illusory body stood in the universe near the earth and watched this spectacular scene. The shadows of the giant, the bird and the old man appeared beside him one after another.
Ji Yongxing had already recalled all his memories and realized his situation. If there was a word that could explain this magnificent and dreamy lucid dream, it must be - divine revelation.
