When Chen Yang and the others went back in, everyone except Chen Yang had fallen quite badly.
Even with mental preparation, it's not always possible to control one's body immediately when suddenly transported from one world to another. Chen Yang's martial arts instincts and wolf-like bloodline allowed him to quickly regain his balance.
The experiment was successful, proving that time was frozen in the micro-world at 8:00 AM; otherwise, they would have already landed when they entered.
"I should have stayed still when I came in. My flailing around only made things worse." Jiang Yining rubbed her bottom in frustration.
They jump from the spot and then land in the same spot again. However, the momentary feeling of weightlessness after entering causes them to subconsciously move their bodies and lose their balance.
"Alright, let's define today's tasks."
Chen Yang said to everyone, "Brother Guo and Bai Jing should continue making pottery. While they're making pottery, they can also repair the houses. It seems this camp will be in existence for a while, and the current houses are too rudimentary."
Guo Zifeng and Bai Jing nodded to indicate that there was no problem. They had plenty of time while waiting for the pottery to be fired.
“Sister Ye Wen, you’re still a bit injured and can’t move around easily, so just gather some firewood and help Brother Guo. Ye Wu, you should take the European Emperor hunting. Yining and I will go south to find resources, and Brother Yun and Lini will go north.”
After a simple task assignment, everyone got busy.
That's how it is in the microcosm. As long as you have all four limbs, you will definitely have to work. You don't work for money, but for survival.
Resource development work is still underway on the western border river side, but there has been new activity at the camp.
After finishing the tea set, Li Su'er finally couldn't contain herself and wanted to go out to find tea.
Guo Zifeng, who shared her interests, was burning mud at the West Boundary River. She thought about bringing others along, but everyone had jobs now, and the hunting group was the most idle.
Now, there is no shortage of meat in the camp, the trap harvest rate has greatly improved, animal breeding and fish ponds are running steadily, and there is still a stock of dried meat. Therefore, Li Su'er plans to form an outing team like Chen Yang.
“I think that’s a good idea. Could you also find me some plants? Head north; there are snow-capped mountains there, the climate will be different, and the plants will be more diverse. Many plants that mature in autumn and winter will also be available,” Jiang Bo said after learning of Li Su’er’s idea.
But the most crucial question now is: who can go with Li Su'er?
Most people are tied up with work and can't leave.
Li Su'er went to the island and successfully persuaded Li Ye and Li Sen. Xiao Qing, who was in the camp, also expressed his desire to join.
Hong Gui's blacksmithing work has recently hit a bottleneck. He can make ordinary ironware, but it is difficult to make it more exquisite, stronger and sharper. He has been studying it in real life and looking up various information.
Since none of the camps urgently needed iron tools, Hong Gui ran back to the camp to help with farming and started making millstones with Jiang Bo.
Yunshi was given a new design job: to design an oil pressing workshop.
Yun almost coughed up blood when she got the job.
The workshop's exterior is simple; it can be designed in minutes and built in just one day. But the hand-operated oil press is a different story. He studied ancient architecture, not carpentry.
Yun wanted to cry, but he didn't refuse. The handmade oil press also had a certain mortise and tenon structure, which was a challenge for him.
He downloaded several models of manual oil presses from the internet and began to study them intensively.
Oil pressing methods vary from place to place, but the principle is the same: the oil is squeezed out of the oil cake by heavy pressure. Yunshi needs to find the most suitable one from these oil presses.
Because the design work requires computers and data, he's doing it in the real world, in the micro-world. His main tasks now are collecting feed and checking traps, and occasionally keeping an eye on Grandpa Cloud. He's the one working the hardest right now.
Hong Gui also came from the countryside and knew a lot about farmhouses, so he was able to make stone millstones with Jiang Bo.
They brought back several stones of suitable size and texture from Yepolin and began to carve them. First, they made a base, and then they started to make the millstone.
Millstones were an essential item in every household in ancient times, and even in modern society, many farmers still use them.
If they can make a millstone, they can grind powder and pulp.
Jiang Bo made the millstone so that he could extract oil. One step in the oil extraction process is grinding the powder into flour, which is then used to make oil cakes for pressing.
After leaving the micro-world, Li Su'er went straight to knock on Chen Yang's door.
"Alien Yang, get up, get up!"
After being disturbed in the micro-world, Chen Yang got up. Li Su'er told Chen Yang about her travel plans, and after thinking about it carefully, Chen Yang agreed to Li Su'er's idea.
What are you looking at?
Li Su'er stood at the door peeking into Chen Yang's room, and Chen Yang asked her a question.
"Let me see where you threw all the tissues?"
"tissue?"
"You're a single guy, of course you have to rely on yourself, how could you not have tissues and the trash can be so clean? Alien Yang, you're not like Ye Wu, you solve your problems by hooking up with other guys, are you?"
"That's right, my nickname is Chen the Cannon King. Alright, hurry up and enter the micro-world, I still need to look for resources."
"Tch, if you dare to ask me out, I'll give you my virginity without a problem."
Chen Yang quickly closed the door, ending the conversation. Then he entered the micro-world.
Jiang Yining was waiting for him in the micro-realm. When she saw Chen Yang come in so quickly, she smiled and said, "Su'er didn't bother you, or did you find yourself unable to handle her?"
"I can't hold on any longer," Chen Yang replied honestly.
Jiang Yining's smile faded, and she asked, "Brother Yang, do you really have no feelings for Su'er?"
Chen Yang paused for a moment and said, "It's impossible not to have thoughts. Su'er is a simple person. Although she is sometimes a bit unreliable, she doesn't have any ulterior motives. She is also beautiful. I am a man, how could I not be tempted?"
"and you……"
"I won't lie to you, I'm a bit stubborn, and I haven't completely moved on from my last relationship. I need time."
"Then I'll have Su'er try harder; there's still a good chance," Jiang Yining said with a smile.
Chen Yang actually nodded and said, "There is still a lot of hope, but you should tell her to control herself and not to drug him. I prefer a gentle approach."
Jiang Yining covered her mouth and chuckled. Just as she was about to tease Chen Yang, she heard Chen Yang say, "Yining, you're always thinking about Su'er. What about yourself? You haven't gotten over your last relationship, have you?"
Jiang Yining shrugged and said, "We'll see. Anyway, I haven't met the next suitable one yet, so I'm not in a hurry."
They ended the conversation and moved on.
Soon, the two made a delightful discovery. In front of them, seven or eight loquat trees stood silently, with plump, orange-yellow loquats hanging on them, looking incredibly tempting.
"Looks like we'll have loquats to eat and can make loquat syrup. Next time we go back, let's pick more and bring some fresh ones back for them," Chen Yang said.
“Loquat leaves seem to have medicinal value as well. Let Lini come over and bring back some loquat fruit and leaves. It would be more useful for her to stay at the camp,” Jiang Yining suggested.
Chen Yang nodded. This was indeed a better approach. After Li Su'er led a few people out to explore for resources, the camp would definitely be even more short-staffed.
"Spring is so nice."
Looking at the tree full of loquats, Chen Yang sighed with heartfelt emotion.
