The task of brewing wine from wheat was handed over to Yunhu. The flour made from the wheat was also preserved, and noodles were being dried in the camp for later use. Eating noodles occasionally was quite nice.
With the addition of noodles, their diet became much more abundant, and the loofah that Chen Yang brought was also ripe, allowing everyone to enjoy the green plants they had grown themselves.
However, the most enjoyable thing in this season is still eating watermelon.
Unfortunately, we only brought back a few watermelons from the Tianyin Mountains, which was not enough to eat. Although we had watermelon seeds and could enjoy watermelons to our heart's content next summer, there was no way to do so this year. The watermelons from that watermelon patch were the only ones available this summer.
Swimming in Chenghu Lake has become the most popular activity, and the hot springs on the island in the middle of the lake have fallen out of favor due to the high temperatures. However, Chen Yang still goes there often because soaking in the hot springs is really relaxing.
The micro-world has entered the height of summer. Although the temperature in the micro-world is relatively comfortable compared to the super high temperature of 40 degrees Celsius in the HZ, it is still easy to sweat profusely.
Under the high temperatures, everyone tries to work at specific times, so the progress of the livestock shed is relatively slow, as is the construction of the new houses.
The population of the micro-world is now steadily increasing, especially the elderly population.
Many World Residents choose to send their parents into the Micro-World. Recently, besides Jiang Bo's mother, Hong Gui's mother also entered the Micro-World. Chen Yang also brought in another World Resident from the Micro-World Inn, this time a student, but a rare one studying agriculture. He can offer some suggestions for the camp's agricultural development.
The Micro Realm Camp is currently lacking in young people, so Chen Yang recently plans to bring in some young Realm Citizens.
However, the chances of encountering young people in the inn are relatively low. Most people in the inn are adults or couples with babies. Teenagers are rare, and in the micro-realm, only Jing Wu and Ding Aiqi are teenagers.
Chen Yang simply told the residents his thoughts and asked if anyone had any recommendations.
As soon as he said that, everyone immediately started recommending their younger relatives or cousins.
“I’d like to recommend one of my classmates,” Jing Wu suddenly said.
"Male or female?" everyone asked with great interest.
Jing Wu: "..."
Jing Wu's silence immediately ignited everyone's gossip spirit, especially the girls, who immediately began to interrogate him.
"Okay, okay, I'll be honest. She's my girlfriend. She's very talented. She was the runner-up in the national writing competition, and she's also very good at math. And... she's also very cute."
Wow~
The group erupted in an uproar.
You see, although Jing Wu acts mature, he's still a complete elementary school student. Even if he skipped a grade, he's only in fifth grade now. Today's elementary school students are truly ashamed of themselves, especially middle-aged man Tu Li, who doesn't even have a girlfriend yet.
Yun Hu was also quite helpless about this. How could he tell his old friend? He couldn't very well say, "Your son, who hasn't even grown his hair yet, is dating."
Fortunately, Jing Wu hasn't used the quota to let his parents enter the Micro World yet.
"Jingwu, I'll trust you this once and give your girlfriend a spot," Chen Yang said with a smile.
Jing Wu was overjoyed and thanked Chen Yang repeatedly, saying, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on your brother Chen Liu from now on and make sure he doesn't study too much."
Chen Liu: "..."
Just as the residents of the area started asking Jing Wu to post photos of his young girlfriend, Chen Yang received a message from Weng Ji.
"The passenger pigeon was sold for $20 million. It was bought by a tycoon who is in the energy business. He wanted it to be a symbol of his company, and it was officially approved. The condition was that he would hire professionals to take care of it."
"This tycoon really has guts, spending $20 million on advertising."
"As long as someone can guarantee the breeding of passenger pigeons, I don't care who raises them. With today's advanced technology, they have signal trackers attached to the legs of passenger pigeons, satellite tracking, and several small teams from the military secretly protecting them, allowing the passenger pigeons to survive on their own."
Chen Yang was relieved to hear this. It seems that the US still values passenger pigeons.
There are many other creatures in the micro-world, but not every creature has the status of the passenger pigeon. Chen Yang still needs to introduce them to the outer realms before making any further plans.
However, the appearance of some creatures can cause a sensation no less than that of the passenger pigeon, and may even be more sensational.
For example, if the mammoth that Dong Yujue and Chanshan rescued were to appear, it would absolutely shock the world.
This was a representative creature of the Ice Age. The passenger pigeon went extinct only a century ago, while the mammoth was a creature that lived tens of thousands of years ago.
Therefore, Chen Yang cannot reveal too much at the moment. Otherwise, it would be too easy for people to become suspicious.
He remains focused on the development of the micro-world.
He's currently building the livestock shed with everyone.
The extent of the time acceleration zone has been determined, with the livestock sheds located at its edge, allowing them to feed the animals without entering the acceleration zone.
Animals are more adaptable than plants to accelerated time; these small animals already know how to cope with three times the day and night, and still grow up healthy.
Now they have chicken and duck eggs to eat every day, and even have a lot more than that.
Of the dozen or so cows brought back, two were taken back to the camp, while the rest were left to graze on the island in the middle of the lake.
The two cows we brought back were both lactating dairy cows, which could provide milk every day. Apart from giving it to a few children, the excess was mainly used to make dairy products and cakes.
Because their technology is not yet mature enough, the milk cannot be kept fresh for very long.
Xu Meng has known how to milk cows since she was a child, and she is also very good at taking care of cows.
Xia Yue is the happiest person right now. With flour and milk, she can really put her skills to good use. Once the sugarcane in the West Boundary River ripens, she will have even more sugar.
The camp's sugar supply mainly came from sugarcane. They had extracted a lot of sucrose from the sugarcane they had previously discovered, but it had been used up to a considerable extent over this period.
Fortunately, sugarcane has already been planted, so some sweet substances can be replaced with honey. Recently, they raided many beehives.
The bees near the camp were unlucky to encounter this group of robbers.
Their method of extracting sugar is still somewhat primitive. Jiang Bo is currently researching and wants to build a workshop at the Xijiehe camp to extract sugar from sugarcane before transporting it to the Xindu camp, which would save a lot of effort.
While helping build livestock sheds at the camp, Chen Yang also began researching papermaking.
The wood pulp paper they made before was good for wiping their bottoms, but it was too rough, so they decided to make paper from bamboo instead.
The bamboo that was soaked in the time acceleration zone is almost ready, and we can start making paper from it.
The papermaking process is quite complicated. They spent half a day simply building a shed before they could start preparing to make paper.
