The popularity of Micro World Games has exceeded expectations, almost rivaling that of several competitive games.
However, the nature of Microworld means it can't maintain its top position for as long as other games. But Microworld also has one advantage that other games can't match.
That is stability.
The biggest advantage of management and development games is their stability. Back when QQ Farm was all the rage, it was also because of the interactive fun of this type of management and breeding game.
Unlike other games, Micro World has more potential for exploration, and it should be playable for at least four or five years. Whether it can last longer depends on the update progress of Hou Yu and his team.
While it's a game, the experience in the game is far inferior to that in the micro-world.
Chen Yang and his team would only log in to develop the camp when they were bored, but their main focus was on building up the camp.
The main road and several auxiliary roads of the camp have been repaired, and the busiest 10 or 20 days of the autumn harvest have finally passed. Before they knew it, they had entered the end of October.
Once the camp was stable, time seemed to fly by, unlike the initial stage of exploring the micro-world when there were new things happening every day, and a month felt like a year.
It is worth mentioning that a small camp has also been established at the Oasis Base in Little Western Ocean.
They set up a fishing net in the bay, which allowed them to catch a lot of seafood every day, and then they used the seafood to exchange for supplies with the camp.
Now, seafood is readily available at the campsite, and occasionally, if you're lucky, you might even get some rare seafood like shrimp and crab.
The Oasis camp, by exchanging seafood with the Xindu camp for supplies, was able to obtain a variety of foods and thus stabilized its situation.
However, the Oasis Camp is still very independent because it is too far away and goods can only be transported through the Four Gates, unlike the Lake Island Camp and the West Boundary River Camp.
They've now built a small dock and upgraded the bamboo rafts, making it possible to travel to and from the island camp in the middle of the lake in just half a day, while the western border river camp still requires a whole day.
Overall, however, this triangular relationship is still quite stable.
The comprehensive development of the Xindu Camp is transitioning into a small town, making it the absolute center of micro-world activities.
The lake island campsite is a breeding base. Currently, it also grows plants, but it will gradually transition to full animal breeding, actively sowing seeds to increase the grassland area.
The West Boundary River is dedicated to planting, specifically various crops. Because of its different climate, the planting season can be staggered with that of the camp, which is much better than growing out-of-season plants in greenhouses.
This triangular relationship is currently the most stable state. These three are destined to be the main camps, while the other camps will play a supporting role in development.
Each region has its own unique crops, animals, and other resources, which are concentrated in the Xindu Camp, the center of development.
The current transportation restrictions at the Four Gates are quite severe, and it's unclear whether they will be improved in the future.
Transporting food and daily necessities is easy, but it's completely insufficient for transporting materials such as stone and timber.
Moyuan is rich in resources, but it is far inferior to the Loess Plateau and the Eastern Plains in terms of mining, and it is not as good as the rainforest in terms of timber. It is more of a comprehensive country, lacking nothing, but it does not have any particularly outstanding resources.
This is also why Moyuan is suitable for development.
After the busy autumn harvest season ended, the construction of the town of Xindu slowed down, with the focus shifting to building camphouses rather than other projects.
Although the recent independence movement disqualified three residents and took away three residents from the Oasis Camp in Little Western Ocean, building houses is still necessary.
In addition to building houses, it was also necessary to accumulate large quantities of stone and timber.
After the road was completed, the next step was to build a wall. Since Moyuan had no natural terrain for defense, a completely enclosed wall was necessary.
This is quite a project, but not as big as I imagined.
Because they don't need to defend against people, they only need to defend against animals. This makes things much easier.
Theoretically, all you need to build a wall is wood, but everyone agrees that a stone wall looks better and is more stylish.
Moreover, once the stone wall is built, it is unlikely to break unless a creature like an elephant or rhinoceros launches a suicidal attack, making it a permanent solution.
They divided the wall construction into three phases: first, they built the north wall facing Yebolin, then the east and west walls, and finally the south wall facing Chenghu Lake.
The wall doesn't need to be too high. Just add wooden spears to the top of the wall and lay ceramic shards on top. This way, you can keep out most animals except for those that are impossible to stop, like monkeys.
What they need to do now is to collect as many stones as possible.
Any stone will do, regardless of color or material; a pile of stones of different materials can look quite nice. Just break any large stones into pieces and bring them back.
There are techniques to building stone walls. During the time they were collecting materials, they kept searching for information and experimenting, and gradually mastered the skills of building stone walls.
In this way, the stone wall can be made stable even without adhesive.
There are quite a few places with rocks around Moyuan, and there is also a rocky mountain in Yebolin.
They used elephants and horse-drawn carts to transport the stone, which was many, many times more efficient than using manpower.
Of course, this carriage is now just the simplest cargo carriage, and because of the road conditions, the transportation speed is very slow.
They didn't plan to build a road just for the stone; they figured they could make do with what they had. The stone came from several sources, and constantly building a road would be too much trouble.
In reality, they obtained many design drawings, some of which could be made immediately, especially the carriage.
If there were a comfortable carriage, traveling between the island in the middle of the lake and the camp would be much more convenient. Moreover, the main roads in the town have now been repaired, and the carriages can now transport passengers normally. Although it is still bumpy, it is much more comfortable than riding a horse directly.
The carpentry team has already begun constructing the carriage.
The design of this carriage was likely used by ancient royalty or extremely wealthy merchants. It was very luxurious and had many unnecessary parts. Yunshi simplified it before drawing and making it in the micro-world.
When the autumn harvest was finally almost over, everyone who had worked hard for more than a month held a celebratory party.
They're enjoying these gatherings more and more now—eating, drinking, and having a great time.
The campsite gatherings got better and better each time, with improvements in everything from the food to the supplies. The variety of food prepared also increased. The meals were well-balanced, with meat, vegetables, and seafood—anything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the water, or grows in the soil was laid out on the table.
