Half a year has passed since the alien creatures that invaded Earth were eliminated.
In the past six months, the corpses of that highly intelligent alien creature and the giant monster have been dissected down to nothing but dust.
Earth has also made breakthroughs in various fields of technology, with many theories being proposed and resolved, and many solutions being put forward for alien defense.
Chen Yang was dispatched twice to help transport some equipment to the moon.
Of course, it involves personally flying over to deliver the goods, not opening a portal.
On the moon, Chen Yang could lift a cruise ship without any problem, so sending some equipment up there would be a piece of cake.
Chen Yang didn't offer much help in scientific research; he invested all his money in cultivating young talents.
In reality, Chen Yang is always very busy, but he still enters the micro-world every day.
The town of Xindu recently held its groundbreaking festival again. This year, a newcomer to the micro-world, who had been there for less than six months, unexpectedly won the fire-making competition. Chen Yang rewarded him with a sword he had personally forged. The newcomer excitedly declared that he would keep the sword as a family heirloom.
The swords forged by Chen Yang remain unsurpassed; they are worthy of being national treasures, let alone family heirlooms.
Hong Gui couldn't cheat like Chen Yang, but his casting skills were now comparable to Monte's, and he and Monte jointly controlled the metallurgical industry in the micro-world.
The level of various ironware in the micro-world kept rising. The two master blacksmiths spent their days idly forging iron, and their greatest interest was upgrading the cooking utensils and farming tools for the world's inhabitants.
The surplus items, as usual, were given to people in military camps and kitchens at various bases. We've already sent out dozens of pots and hundreds of kitchen knives.
The demand for ironware in the micro-world is not very high, because there are only a few hundred people in total, and ironware has an extremely long lifespan.
Pottery is much better; you break a couple of pieces all the time, but you can also use it for decoration, so there are more opportunities to work with it.
They created a dry landscape garden in a park in the town, using a lot of pottery and stones, combined with some wood carvings.
Besides tableware, every household also has its own tea set, and many residents' homes have a complete set of cups and teaware.
Porcelain, pottery, and glass are all available.
Moreover, their glassmaking process has matured considerably, allowing Rael's technology to be showcased, and each glass object in the micro-world is exquisite.
The wine glasses, liquor glasses, teacups, fairness cups, decanters, etc., are all quite high-end and represent the latest international styles.
However, neither iron smelting, ceramic firing, nor glassmaking can compare to the woodworking industry.
Because of the needs of building the micro-world, many residents are skilled in carpentry, and everything in the micro-world is made by them.
All the camps are mainly wooden buildings, so the most people are skilled in carpentry.
However, so far, only Yu Xuan can be considered a woodcarver; the others are just hobbies and can only create patterns on furniture.
Many of the inhabitants have gradually brought their skills from the microcosm into reality.
The earliest one was Jiang Bo's traditional oil pressing workshop, which has now stabilized and generates a very considerable income.
However, the most successful was undoubtedly Hong Gui.
The time Hong Gui spent in the micro-world, combined with the time in reality, is equivalent to more than ten years.
For more than a decade, he has only focused on forging.
He has remained true to himself for ten years.
Hong Gui went from knowing nothing to becoming a world-class sword-making master, and he enjoyed it immensely.
These are typical examples; there are many such people in the Microworld.
Because of Chen Yang's support, they can all act boldly.
Zhang Jian's paintings have also gone abroad, and exhibitions have been held in some foreign countries.
Within the micro-world, he continued to paint, starting with research on the manufacture of pigments, which deepened his understanding of color. Within the micro-world, his mental state was excellent, and his painting skills improved significantly.
Yun Shi and Jiang Yining are married and will soon be having a baby.
Ye Yan also became pregnant with Ye Wu's child at the beginning of the year, and the child was born precisely on the day of the Founding Day.
With the addition of children born in the past two years in the Micro Realm, the average age of the Realm's inhabitants has been significantly lowered.
Within the micro-world, some new habits have also emerged.
For example, goat milk is popular because it is easier for babies to absorb and digest than cow milk.
Knitting also became very popular.
No mother wouldn't want to knit a little sweater and make a pair of little shoes for her baby herself.
Before the baby was born, looking at that pitifully small sweater, I would even think how delicate a little person must be to fit into that sweater.
The daily life in the micro-world is slowly becoming mundane.
The so-called daily life is not a dramatic or turbulent one; it is the ordinary that constitutes daily life.
Rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea—these are the everyday necessities of life.
When the camp was first established, they were more concerned with finding resources and exploring new places.
Now, they are thinking about what to eat tomorrow and whether they should wear an extra layer of clothing.
The residents of the border area mostly talked about everyday things, such as their children and meals.
The fact that the micro-world has no currency and remains remarkably stable is something Chen Yang never expected.
He had thought that once the population of the Realm People increased, the drawbacks of not having a currency would become apparent, and uneven distribution of resources would lead to conflicts among them. A transition period would be needed to adapt.
However, humans are incredibly adaptable; the inhabitants of the Microworld have completely adapted to life without currency.
You get to eat if you work, but if you don't work you'll be looked down upon by everyone and it's incredibly boring.
People who don't have to worry about food and drink will probably go crazy if they don't find something to do.
The rules of the micro-world are self-contained, and when the people of the New Territories come in, they don't feel that anything is abnormal due to the influence of the larger environment.
On the contrary, everyone believes that the micro-world should not be corrupted by money.
Money is something that becomes addictive once you get rid of it.
The various camps are secretly competing to see who can develop better. This is not driven by interest, but by human nature.
Now, each camp has its own customs, forming a pattern of surrounding and protecting the center.
People from different realms can interact through the eight gates of the realm's rulers, and resources are collected and then circulated throughout the entire micro-realm.
Job swapping is also underway, with people regularly experiencing life at other camps. This gives the residents of Xindu Town a legitimate reason to pay extra for going out.
Isn't a short-term lifestyle experience the vacation style of those wealthy people?
We rode horses at the nearest campsites, choosing the one through the Eight Directions Gate; during peak season, there might be queues.
The time acceleration zone can help them plant and store resources quickly.
The temperature-controlled zone gives the micro-world a super-large refrigerator; large quantities of frozen food can be delivered to the back of Xueshan Mountain.
Once their basic needs for life were met, the people of the world began to pursue spiritual things.
Dance, painting, and music are the three major arts, along with a wide variety of handicrafts, and the people of the region are practically all skilled in martial arts.
If it's inconvenient to access the micro-world occasionally, I'll take a break and arrange my work accordingly.
However, such times are rare, and the daily routines of the inhabitants have already followed the pace of the micro-world.
The changes in the microcosm are getting smaller and smaller, but it is becoming more and more like life.
