The two-story wooden building that Chen Yang and his team built is quite interesting.
Because the area around the underground spring itself doesn't offer a view of the lake, but if a building is constructed and the residential area is placed on the second floor, then one can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Chenghu Lake.
Chen Yang and his team certainly didn't have the technical skills to build a lakeside villa; they could only construct a simple log cabin. However, they still put their heart into it, adding a balcony on the second floor for enjoying the view.
The construction of the log cabin was carried out relatively quickly by the group of people. The frame structure was completed in four days. The rest was just a matter of time. Once the frame was in place, it was basically just a matter of putting the logs on top.
The mortise and tenon structure is indeed amazing, but it is very troublesome to make. So, for convenience, Chen Yang and Hong Gui made a batch of nails that were not very good-looking, but still practical, to replace the mortise and tenon structure in some parts.
While things were bustling with activity on the island in the middle of the lake, the Xindu campsite was also busy.
The girls in the camp construction team were busy knitting, and other teams would occasionally come over to help.
The men's jobs were simple, but very tiring.
Because they anticipated that a large amount of wood would be needed for later construction, they started logging and transporting timber now, and chose a place next to the camp to pile up the wood.
This is a long-term project, but it is necessary for the development of the camp.
Fortunately, the weather has been quite cool lately, with occasional light drizzle. This not only doesn't affect our work, but it also makes us more energetic and easier in terms of planting and feed collection.
Moreover, when people are resting, they can play chess or read books, which is quite relaxing.
The chess pieces the old man made were exquisite; the entire set was crafted from the finest jade, incredibly luxurious. This set alone would cost at least several hundred thousand yuan, and the old man wanted to have a set made to take with him in the future. He could afford it, but he was reluctant to spend the money.
The Micro-Library has become a new favorite, with people browsing it almost all day long. Apart from Chen Liu and Ding Aiqi, who use it regularly for studying, others often go there to sit and read during their breaks or when they have free time.
In the micro-world, reading is considered a luxury, so people are more likely to get into it.
The teeth and fur that Ding Qihan sent for testing were also examined and confirmed to be those of a dire wolf.
The result was self-evident: an explosive sensation. If Ding Qihan hadn't held a controlling stake in the laboratory, this news would have dominated the headlines of major media outlets.
This is a dire wolf, and the vitality of its fur and teeth proves that it was definitely alive not long ago.
The reappearance of a creature that has been extinct for so long on Earth will definitely cause a sensation around the world. Animal protection organizations will definitely take action, and even the United Nations will try to find out the source of the fur.
Ding Qihan really didn't dare to expose himself this time. In fact, even the laboratory he controlled was sent over in an anonymous package.
Even he wasn't confident he could completely block the news, so he had to be very careful.
In addition to the dire wolf teeth and fur, two dwarf rabbits were also sent over, proving that they were indeed dwarf rabbits.
The dwarf rabbit is alright, it's just a critically endangered species, it's not completely extinct yet.
They can now confirm that there are indeed many extinct plants and animals within the micro-world.
This discovery has everyone very excited. If this is the case, they will be heroes in saving extinct animals.
Once they find the offspring or eggs of an extinct species, they can transport them to Earth.
They would definitely eat them, but they wouldn't feel guilty. After all, these animals weren't endangered in the microcosm, so it was only natural for them to eat a couple. Compared to the contribution they made in transporting them to Earth, it was nothing.
"I need to find a place and some people to ensure the safe growth of these animals," Ding Qihan said.
He cared more about the safety of the Earth than anyone else present, because he had done the most research on this issue among them.
“Not only animals, but many plants should also be extinct,” Chen Yang said.
Ding Qihan nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, you have one spot left this month, right? I'd like to recommend someone to you?"
Who is it?
"A Chinese person who is qualified to win the Nobel Prize."
"oh?"
Chen Yang became interested. The Nobel Prize is arguably the highest honor in the world, and winning it is already a great honor for the country.
“You’re not from our circle, so you probably don’t know. His name is Weng Ji, and he’s the president of the Self-Protection Association. He’s also a biology expert, and his research on biology is unparalleled in the country.”
When Ding Qihan introduced this person, he was filled with admiration.
"Excuse me," Linglong said, raising her hand. "This person's name is Plague Chicken? And he's the president of the Self-Defense Association? Is he so plagued that he needs to establish an association to protect himself?"
Everyone could clearly see that Ding Qihan's face darkened instantly. If Linglong hadn't been a newcomer and he wasn't familiar with her, he probably would have lost his temper on the spot.
Ding Qihan let out a long breath and then said, "It's Weng Ji, Weng as in old man and Ji as in auspicious. Zibao Xie is the president of the Nature Conservation Association. He has made great contributions to nature conservation in Asia. His published papers have a wide influence. It can even be said that his contributions to nature conservation are equivalent to those of tens of thousands of people engaged in nature conservation work."
"oh."
Linglong didn't seem to quite understand the meaning behind Ding Qihan's explanation, so she could only sum it up in one word—Oh!
Ding Qihan almost coughed up blood, but he also knew that it would be difficult for outsiders to understand Weng Ji's status in the industry.
So he said directly to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, I'll arrange for Weng Ji to come to the inn once. You can meet him and we can talk about it later."
Chen Yang said, "Okay, our micro-world definitely needs a scholar. And with him, we can recognize more plants and animals."
Upon hearing this, Ding Qihan immediately prepared to log off and notify Weng Ji. According to him, Weng Ji was currently on a speaking tour in the United States, so it was the perfect time to call.
"Why does he seem so concerned about this?" Yun Shi said, somewhat puzzled.
“Because Uncle Ongji is my brother’s idol, and my brother is the biggest investor in the Self-Protection Association,” Ding Aiqi said. “Moreover, my brother’s recently published papers urgently need the evaluation of scientific giants like Uncle Ongji.”
Everyone suddenly realized why Ding Qihan was so concerned. It seemed he did have some ulterior motives.
About an hour later, Ding Qihan re-entered the Micro World.
"Alright, I begged and pleaded with him, and even sacrificed 100,000 seedlings for the sake of the Northwest Greenery project, before I finally convinced Wengji to give up his next speech and come over. He'll arrive tomorrow, which will be perfect for the inn. I'll give him the room I managed to snag for tomorrow, is that alright?"
The inn has rules: only the guest's own account can claim the prize. Otherwise, these few rich people in the micro-world could hire a hundred people to claim it for them.
"Okay, I'll make an exception for you this time," Chen Yang said with a smile.
He wasn't stubborn, and this didn't really involve the inn's operating principles; special circumstances require special treatment.
