After the events of the Graphic Calendar ended, the atmosphere in the Micro Realm was slightly depressed for a while, but as time passed and the temperature rose, this atmosphere gradually disappeared.
Chen Yang and Hong Gui worked together to forge some ironware, reinforce and renovate the mills and oil presses in the micro-world, and also create a batch of iron tools.
Basic farming tools such as hoes, sickles, plows, and rakes, as well as kitchen knives and shovels of various sizes and shapes.
They replaced all the existing tools and melted down the excess ones, intending to build enough metal fencing for their camp on the Eastern Frontier, the most effective way to defend against large carnivores.
Because there are molds available, the fences don't need to be crafted like weapons and tools, so they are convenient.
They discarded many tools, and the process of Hong Gui's continuous improvement in craftsmanship was also a process of upgrading and replacing their tools time and time again.
Remelting and reusing all the scrap metal is much simpler than mining iron ore, and it also helps to consume their excess metal. It's truly a win-win situation.
As temperatures quietly rise, rainfall also begins to increase.
A flash flood struck the Loess Plateau, burying the apple orchard they had discovered.
The water flow of the West Boundary River is also increasing rapidly. Jiang Bo led his men to reinforce the rope bridge and also made preparations for flood prevention. The fields at the West Boundary River camp are now larger than those at the Xindu camp. If they are all flooded, the losses will be enormous.
The fish rafts at Little Western Camp are also being put to the test.
The bay is a natural haven, but it is not completely shielded from wind and rain. Typhoons in the Minor Atlantic usually make landfall around July each year, but before that, there are also several waves with considerable wind and waves.
Their goal is to minimize losses; zero losses are impossible. Especially after the typhoon hits, the fish farms will face a tremendous challenge.
Fortunately, the fish farming at Little Western Camp has always focused on small-scale, multi-variety operations, so unless the fish rafts are overturned, the chances of them not all dying or escaping are very low.
This year's rainy season has lasted quite a while, and the rainfall has been substantial.
The construction project has been temporarily put on hold, and Yun has gone to help Jiang Yining take care of the vineyards on the west bank of the Xijie River, which are also facing threats.
They have scientific methods for dealing with natural disasters, but they lack experience and need to accumulate it gradually.
To protect the fish rafts, Jiang Ya and Jiang Ji temporarily put aside their real-world concerns and went to a small fishing village in Fujian to learn from their experience, hoping to modify and reinforce the fish rafts before the typhoon hit.
Meanwhile, Chen Yang continues to train the animals while also observing the land beyond the boundaries.
After he took control of the Outer Lands, the Outer Lands expanded once again.
The ocean beyond the boundary is growing larger and larger. Although it is still not as big as a lake, the ocean has all the features one would expect.
Chen Yang asked Weng Jili to make a list and put several hundred sea fish in it, and they are still alive and well.
The same applies to other animals. Since they can now transport goods into the outer areas without restriction, Chen Yang simply spent five million to buy a luxury all-terrain RV from abroad, which also has two off-road motorcycles on board.
Once the RV is driven into off-limits areas, there's basically no need to prepare anything else; everything can be prepared inside the vehicle.
However, he still has no intention of developing the land outside the boundary.
It's not that I'm unwilling to develop it, but I don't want to be distracted, and I don't dare to develop it.
If the territory outside the border continues to expand like this, it won't be much smaller than the land of some small countries. In the future, it will be at least larger than a certain island nation.
The micro-world is not directly connected to reality and has many limitations, but even so, it has boundless attraction.
While the Outer Boundaries may not be as appealing as the Micro Boundaries in many ways, for ambitious individuals, the Outer Boundaries hold far greater allure than the Micro Boundaries because it is directly connected to reality.
This is an invincible fortress; it's almost impossible to breach it.
Chen Yang saw this, and the people of the realm weren't fools either; most of them realized it too.
However, the outer realm and the micro-realm share the same restrictions: they must not be leaked out, and no one other than the realm's inhabitants can enter. The rules of the micro-realm are absolute for the realm's inhabitants.
However, this was not the case for Chen Yang. After taking over the Outer Boundary, he could feel that although he could refuse the rule of the Micro Boundary, he could allow people other than the Boundary Citizens to enter, and he could also make the Outer Boundary public.
"What is the reason for the existence of the Outer Boundaries? Is it really just a second micro-world?"
Chen Yang has been thinking about this question a lot lately.
Everyone believed that the Outer Boundary would one day become a second Micro Boundary, and that the Micro Boundary might have been born in the same way. Only Chen Yang didn't think so.
Having personally experienced everything, he always felt that the birth of the Outer Boundaries had its reasons. It was not merely a prototype of a second Micro-World.
Headache...
The more you think about it, the less you understand it; the closer you get to the truth, the more confused you become.
The area outside the current boundary is now roughly the size of Zhejiang Province. After several expansions, Wengji became too lazy to conduct any more measurements, since it would be expanded again soon anyway, and each measurement was too much trouble.
However, Chen Yang no longer concealed the fact that the area outside the boundary had already achieved regional stability from the boundary residents, and mentioned it along with the announcement of taking over the area outside the boundary.
Since he's already taken over, he doesn't have many restrictions anymore.
He now feels like a poor person carrying a large bag of money, always having to be careful, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Therefore, he entered the outer realm even more frequently. Since the entrance was inside the inn, he used the RV as a room. He often slept directly in the RV with Li Su'er. The RV was larger than a regular room, and the natural conditions in the outer realm were better than in reality, which was more beneficial to the fetus's development.
Within the Outer Boundary, Chen Yang was able to better perceive its preciousness and actively gather its spiritual energy. He grew faster, and he felt that by the end of this summer, he should be able to imprint the souls of his family members into the Outer Boundary.
In about a month or two, it will be almost the summer solstice. After the summer solstice, the hottest time of the year will come, and then the temperature will drop quickly. Once this summer is completely over, Chen Yang will be able to fully master the enhancement brought about by his soul baptism, and he will also be able to master the ability to imprint the souls of others into the outer realm.
He himself had no longer imprinted his soul into the outer realm, but had completely merged with it.
In theory, Chen Yang is already immortal, but he himself has no real sense of it.
