When Yunhu and his group traveled from the Xindu camp to the West Boundary River, they brought Ouhuang along as well. One reason was to make use of Ouhuang's nose, and the other was to prevent Ouhuang from causing trouble with Xiaohei again.
The European Emperor seemed to really enjoy the current climate of the Western Boundary River, frolicking around everywhere. Chen Yang then instructed Xiao Chen to keep an eye on it.
However, the European Emperor is now very smart. Unlike at the beginning when he was fearless, he now only targets those he can afford to mess with.
Ye Wu would take it with him when he went hunting, and he always managed to catch something, so life at the temporary camp on the West Boundary River was not a problem.
After expanding their search area, they finally made a discovery.
A peanut field was located near their temporary camp on the western border river. Unfortunately, the peanuts were not yet fully ripe, but it was still a significant discovery.
Peanuts are a plant-based food that is high in energy, protein, and fat. They are found everywhere, from side dishes to snacks, and play an important role in balancing diets and improving people's nutrition and health.
Moreover, peanuts can also be pressed for oil, but they haven't discovered it much yet, and they're not luxurious enough to use them for oil pressing. They'll wait until they've planted enough next year.
The discovery of the peanut field was very important, as it meant they could start planting peanuts, and peanut kernels are the seeds of peanuts.
It was Jiang Yining who recognized the peanuts; if it were Chen Yang and the others, they might not have recognized that the lush green grass was peanuts.
The discovery of peanuts is great news, but for now they can only wait for the peanuts to mature, which looks like it will take several more months.
This led Chen Yang to decide to test his previous idea.
More than a month has passed since he last brought a watch in from the real world, and he can bring items in from the real world again.
Since they had not been able to find the seeds of the cash crops they needed, he decided to bring them from the real world.
What he was going to bring was corn.
If it is a whole ear of corn, it should still be within the range of "individual", which is different from other seeds.
Moreover, corn can be planted individually, so one corn kernel can grow into a small cornfield. And there won't be any shortage of seeds for the following year.
Chen Yang can directly buy high-quality corn seeds. Jiang Bo and the others have planting experience and will definitely be able to grow them well.
Corn is one of the world's three major food crops and an important resource for human survival. If corn could be grown, people's lives would be greatly improved.
Whether it's ground into cornmeal or made into starch, it's fine; not to mention, it can be eaten directly.
If Chen Yang can successfully bring corn in, they can harvest a lot of corn in the fall, and then plant it on a large scale as their staple food the following year.
Food has always been of paramount importance to humankind, whether in backward feudal societies or modern societies. As one of the three major food crops, corn can absolutely bring about a qualitative change in their lives.
Whether corn can be brought into the micro-world still requires experimentation. Chen Yang has already contacted someone and bought the latest and highest quality corn seeds this year.
Most corn seeds on the market have already been threshed, and he spent a lot of time trying to find a whole corn seed that hadn't been threshed, making seven or eight phone calls in total.
The corn should be delivered by tomorrow morning, and Chen Yang can try to bring it into the micro-world.
The next day, Chen Yang told the others about his idea. No one objected, of course, but Ye Wu raised a different point.
"If there's no particular need to bring anything from the real world, I recommend bringing an ultralight, custom-made miniature camera, the solar-powered kind. Within the requirements, you can actually customize a pretty good camera. I hope to record the scenery of the miniature world and bring it into the real world."
Ye Wu's idea captivated everyone.
Yes, it would be wonderful if we could capture all the scenery in the micro-world and bring it into the real world.
"Wouldn't this reveal the existence of the Micro-World?" Tang Jiaqi asked in the group.
"It shouldn't count. As long as no one says this is the Microverse, no one can tell. They'll just guess where it is. The Microverse environment is almost identical to Earth's," Chen Yang replied.
"You've agreed?" Ye Wu asked in surprise.
“You do have some reliable ideas sometimes. I think that in the Microverse, we can’t just live for survival. Filming the existence of the Microverse is indeed very meaningful,” Chen Yang replied.
If you specifically commission a company to build a solar-powered camera, it shouldn't be too difficult. The biggest problem is the weight; meeting the weight requirements is really difficult.
"Let my son handle this; he'll pay for it," Grandpa Yun said directly.
In real life, Yun Hu sent an OK emoji with tears streaming down her face. Why was the old man so generous at this time? Usually, Yun Hu would get nagged even if she bought herself a piece of clothing.
Although this amount of money wasn't a huge sum for Yun Hu, he would definitely get the best camera, costing at least tens of thousands of yuan, even if no one else confessed.
He didn't mind spending over 100,000 yuan, but he felt extremely frustrated.
Although the Yun family is wealthy, their living expenses are not high. Their biggest expenditure is on charity. Yun Hu has already built several primary schools in underdeveloped areas of the country.
"Dad, I really want to buy myself a watch too." Yun Hu really wanted to send this message in the group chat, but he didn't have the courage to do so. He was afraid that his father would use him as a target to practice a set of Xingyi Quan (a form of Chinese martial arts).
Suddenly, he had an idea and sent a private message to Chen Yang.
"Chen Yang, I'll buy a watch and send it to the inn. Then you can say it's a gift from me to thank me for ordering the camera. How about that?"
When Chen Yang received this message, he could feel the deep longing in Yun Hu's words. It was really unfair that a big, burly man with great power and money had to go through this kind of trouble to buy a watch.
Chen Yang agreed, for which Yun Hu was extremely grateful.
If it hadn't been given to him by Chen Yang, but by someone else, the old man probably would have sold it directly.
As Yun Hu held a high position, he naturally received many gifts from people. He tried his best to refuse them, and only accepted them when he couldn't refuse them. In the end, most of them were sold by the old man to raise money for charity.
Who can understand the grievances in Yun Hu's heart?
He immediately contacted several friends, sent them the customization requirements, and repeatedly emphasized that it must be within 10 by 10 centimeters, with a weight limit of 500 grams, not even one gram more.
"Use the best and lightest materials for me, and try to achieve high-definition shooting within the required specifications," Yun Hu said.
Yunhu's order was sent to an overseas company that makes action cameras. This was the first time they had received such an order, with such strict requirements on size and weight, and it also needed to be solar-powered.
However, most action cameras weigh no more than 500 grams. After receiving the order, the company immediately began designing. They simply created a 10cm by 10cm square camera frame with a lightweight, foldable solar panel on top. They then focused on improving quality and reducing weight.
The order has already been placed, and there's still about a month to go, so there's no rush. It's not about needing them to invent anything, just modify it; that's something an international company can do.
Now, the most important thing is whether corn can be brought into the micro-world.
Chen Yang entered the Micro Realm, thinking about bringing the corn into the Micro Realm. Immediately, a prompt appeared in the Micro Realm that made him smile.
"The item brought in is within ten meters of the Lord's body, and its weight and volume meet the requirements. Do you confirm bringing it in?"
I'll be updating three times a week for the next few days, and I hope everyone will continue to support me. I've seen all your book reviews and recommendation votes, and I'm very grateful for them. The most important thing is that a book is appreciated by others.
