Even while camping, Chen Yang didn't forget to gather spiritual energy to help himself grow stronger.
In this process, through observation, he discovered the fundamental differences between humans and animals.
All animals have souls and bodies, just like humans. However, within the human soul, there is a kind of energy that Chen Yang could not explore, which is faint and elusive.
Chen Yang doesn't believe that the current European Emperor's intelligence is inferior to that of humans, but it lacks this kind of energy within its soul.
This energy was so faint that Chen Yang could barely detect it. It was only because it was located outside the boundary and a sufficient number of humans had gathered there that Chen Yang was able to detect it.
This is probably the most fundamental difference between humans and animals. In the billions of years of Earth's history, there have been many species that have existed for hundreds of times longer than humans, but none of them are as special as humans. Humans are extremely special and unique in the billions of years of Earth's history.
Chen Yang wanted to study this energy, but found himself at a loss.
If he weren't in the outer realms, he wouldn't even be able to detect this energy. Even in the outer realms, it can only be sensed when a group of people are gathered together. He couldn't even find one or two people to help him with his research.
My abilities are still not strong enough and I still need to improve.
The outer realm is now just like Chen Yang himself; Chen Yang can sense everything in the outer realm.
Before taking over the outer territory, Chen Yang could only sense its expansion. Now, if he wanted to, he could sense the wind and rain in the outer territory. Moreover, he could control it to some extent.
For example, on the third day of summer camp, there were some rain clouds in the sky, which blocked the sun and made the temperature much more comfortable without raining.
The residents all exclaimed how lucky they were, but they didn't know that it was all caused by Chen Yang.
Chen Yang hasn't told anyone about his abilities yet, not even Li Su'er, because he's becoming more and more inhuman.
He has a strong sense of self and knows that apart from his improved abilities, his essential thoughts have not changed. However, to outsiders, what's the difference between him and a god? He can summon wind and rain.
The rain cloud was indeed gathered by Chen Yang, but this was the limit of his ability; he couldn't even gather more to make the rain fall.
Chen Yang can easily control the weather changes in the micro-world, making a place a little colder or hotter, drier or wetter, with more or less lush vegetation, and even controlling the intensity of light.
Sometimes even slight influences can lead to huge changes. If a place is dry for a long time, the vegetation, soil, and animals in that place will change.
However, the natural cycle within the outer boundary is already perfect, and there is no need for Chen Yang to interfere excessively.
Once inside the micro-realm, Chen Yang could no longer influence the climate like that. Otherwise, he really wanted to disperse the rain clouds in the sky, as the continuous rain was truly annoying.
The livestock in the Xindu camp were running out of food, so they had to transport it from the Eastern Chieftain Grassland, which could be considered as imported food.
The situation is particularly dire at the West Boundary River camp, where many plants have been submerged. Their drainage system is ill-equipped to handle such prolonged and continuous rain. The soil is severely waterlogged and has poor infiltration capacity. Several plant species are destined for reduced yields this year, but fortunately, the rice paddies have not been significantly affected.
The seasons are slightly different in the western border river. After this rainy season, the rice should be ready to be harvested. Then they can eat hot rice, make rice cakes, rice wine, and various rice products.
Aside from being bored and having trouble going out, there weren't many other problems at the campsite.
However, the fishpond is doomed this year.
The water level in Chenghu Lake rose sharply, causing the fishponds to be flooded and resulting in heavy losses. Ninety percent of the fish escaped, and Grandpa Yun spent his days by the lake, gazing at the water with a sense of despair.
However, the necessity of fish ponds is not very high now. They have fish rafts, so they definitely have enough fish. Fish ponds only need to provide some freshwater fish and shrimp occasionally for a few days.
Chen Yang comforted Grandpa Yun, telling him to focus on taking care of the remaining fish and shrimp.
The villagers who had been managing the fishpond with Grandpa Yun returned to the camp to do other work, leaving Grandpa Yun to manage the remaining fish and shrimp on his own.
Although the overcast skies cast a slightly gloomy mood over the entire camp, Ding Qihan brought good news: once the summer camp ended, the perilous rainy season should be over, and a period of sunny weather would follow.
This gave everyone a jolt of energy. Hearing that the rainy season was finally coming to an end, everyone started planning what to do next.
Many moldy items need to be washed and dried, as well as some clothes, blankets, etc. Washing is also necessary. You can also take this opportunity to prepare some items that need to be aired out.
Some summer-ripening fruits can be harvested in batches to make dried fruit. Now, with temperature-controlled zones, the dried fruit can have a longer shelf life. The temperature-controlled zones have a wide range and can preserve many things.
The freezing compartment can be kept frozen year-round, while the refrigeration compartment can be used to grow plants out of season in winter, since the outdoor temperature in winter is already sufficient for refrigeration.
Now that the temperature can be controlled, the micro-world has almost nothing to worry about anymore, and living conditions are already quite good.
They've lost many of the conveniences of real life, but gained more satisfaction in return. They've already experienced the benefits of slowing down; the pace of life in the real world is fast enough, there's no need to accelerate it further within the micro-world. Everyone prefers to maintain the current pace and develop gradually.
New Territories residents are still joining, most of them are relatives of existing residents, and the kinship and family ties among them are increasing, so the new territories residents will soon be able to integrate into the micro-world.
Chen Yang no longer cared much about the New Territories residents joining; he just wanted to get to know them.
He specifically selected artisans for his own spot, including a silversmith whom Wang Bing knew, who stubbornly used old methods to craft silver ornaments and refused to follow the trend. There was also a fisherman who lived by the sea, whom Jiang Ya had met in Fujian, and who had spent half his life on fish rafts. And there was a disciple of Master Yun's old friend, a martial artist second only to Xiao Lin in skill level.
Sometimes, if there are not enough spots, he will give them to the people at the front of the queue so that their relatives can come in sooner.
The number of people in the micro-world is growing steadily. A complete procedure for introducing people has been established, giving them maximum freedom to choose any camp or develop in any direction they want.
Most new residents will check out the situation at the camp before making a decision, while some will choose as soon as they arrive.
Those who yearn for the sea can go to the Little Western Ocean Camp, those who love the grasslands can go to the Eastern Chieftain Grassland Camp, those who love the plateau can go to the Eastern Plateau, and one person even went to follow Master Chanshan to practice Buddhism.
