The surveying work of the micro-world is a huge project. They can only take a rough estimate. Unless they find a professional team of several hundred people with a full set of equipment, it may not be possible to draw a topographic map of the micro-world in more than ten years with the current manpower.
The microcosm is a small place compared to Earth, but for a person, it's big enough to roam for several lifetimes.
According to Jack and Ding Qihan's rough calculations, the micro-world should be about the size of the Australian continent.
It's comparable to a continent, even though this continent isn't as large as the land area of China, it's still not bad.
Chen Yang originally thought that the Micro Realm wasn't this big, but now it seems that the Micro Realm is much larger than he thought.
It's impossible to draw a detailed topographic map of the micro-world, but the general areas can still be divided.
The two of them simply asked Hou Yu's game company to model the terrain of the micro-world, which indirectly helped Hou Yu.
Although Hou Yu's games have evolved beyond what they used to be, they are still essentially imitating the original game.
The creation of the micro-boundary topographic map was also of great help to him.
However, this is of greater significance to the people of the region.
It's not just about significance; it also has practical uses. At least it provides a standard reference when they make travel plans.
Moreover, not only the terrain, but also the approximate boundaries of each camp were marked, which will greatly help in planning the overall development direction of the micro-world in the future.
In the future, the map of the micro-world will be gradually improved, and modifications can be made based on the existing model.
Compared to micro-boundaries, creating models and maps for the Outer Boundaries is much simpler.
The Outer Boundaries project truly has an expert team and professional equipment, and its area is insignificant compared to the Micro Boundaries project. The model was built with almost no effort.
They used helicopters and drones to survey the terrain. Unlike Microworld, they only had one drone, which Chen Yang had saved from the quota he brought in.
Now every member of the Micro World map has one, and they often discuss and plan where to go for fun.
At this point, the residents who had participated in the development of the micro-map showed their advantage.
They can point to the map and proudly recount how they discovered this place and how difficult the process was.
However, the Micro-World Map is still incomplete in some areas, and there are places that the World Citizens have never been to, including Chen Yang.
For example, in the northwestern part of the Lesser Atlantic, there must be some islands, but no one has ever been there.
For example, there are many places inside the rainforest that I haven't been to yet; all I know now is the extent of the rainforest.
Even though the number of people in the world is now close to three hundred, there are still many, many places they haven't set foot in.
The Microverse is less than one-twentieth the size of Earth's land area, but its inhabitants are only one in tens of millions of the number of humans on Earth.
Even now, with the advancements in human technology and population, we dare not claim to have explored every place in the world, let alone the microcosm.
Even if the number of people in the world increased ten thousand times, it would still be insignificant to the entire micro-world.
Moreover, Chen Yang also plans to reduce the population of 300 people originally intended to be introduced into the Micro Realm, and reserve them for future citizens born in the Micro Realm.
Therefore, the micro-world is enough for them to explore for another tens of millions of years.
The appearance of the micro-world map made the inhabitants realize their lack of knowledge about the micro-world.
Even if a person has visited every city in China, the area he has set foot in is less than one ten-thousandth of the entire country.
On the map, many areas were blank. Ding Qihan and Jack only explored the boundaries between different areas and didn't have the energy to explore them in depth.
"I must complete the map in my lifetime," Jack said.
In the micro-world, any forest you wander into is an untouched area, which greatly satisfies Jack's desire for exploration.
This is true adventure, true wilderness survival. Before, people just followed the paths others had taken, but now, he is a pioneer.
"If you live to be 150, and then borrow another 500 years from heaven, that might be about right," Chen Yang said to Jack with a smile.
He wasn't joking; it would be impossible for one person to complete the map of the micro-world in less than several hundred or even a thousand years.
Jack was also helpless, because he couldn't find any reason to refute it.
"By the way, we discovered quite a few valuable resources during the mapping process, and I've marked them all on the map," Jack said.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Yes, I see. We'll develop it when we need to."
He no longer had the energy to check the locations of these resources one by one; he could leave that task to other border residents, and he himself went to the West Border River camp.
In fact, there was nothing in the Xijiehe camp that Chen Yang particularly needed to build. Chen Yang's main task this time was to build a bridge from Xijiehe to Limo.
The original rope bridge was far from sufficient. Even after multiple reinforcements and expansions, it was still inadequate, especially when horses needed to cross.
After Chen Yang arrives, the most crucial and troublesome step can be solved, which is the bridge foundation.
They did not intend to build a stone bridge; that would be too massive an undertaking, impossible to complete in less than a year.
They searched for many bridges around the world, found the ones they needed from the wisdom of the ancients, and then modified them.
A crucial step in building the planned bridge was for Chen Yang to drive the timbers that would serve as the bridge foundation into the riverbed.
This step would be quite troublesome even with modern machinery, but with Chen Yang, this superhuman strength, it's much easier.
They use only the finest teak wood, and each piece is very thick. In addition, they have made their own waterproof coating, which ensures that the wood will not rot even after a long time in an oxygen-isolated underwater environment.
The method is actually very simple: have Chen Yang hold the log and insert it into the spot they have chosen.
But if this step were left to someone else, it would be incredibly difficult.
Only Chen Yang could guarantee that he wouldn't be swept away by the current while walking in the river while holding a log that was more than ten meters long, and that he could still move around at the bottom of the river even if he was completely submerged.
Only he could insert the log into the riverbed, through the silt, and deep into the riverbed.
They also needed Chen Yang to jump from a great height and use himself as a giant hammer to smash the wood in, and to build a stone base underwater with boulders.
Each step is something only Chen Yang can do. These steps, which would be troublesome even with modern equipment, only require a little time for Chen Yang.
He only needed to be responsible for building the bridge foundation; the rest could be left to the border residents of the West Boundary River camp.
Therefore, Chen Yang is destined to spend the next period of time in the Xijie River in the water every day.
