The next day, Chen Yang told everyone about his discovery of the plateau, and they also told him about their plan to make a documentary.
"That's a great idea, but have you thought about what kind of film you want to make?"
“We discussed it for a long time last night and decided to film a history of its development. It will be filmed in multiple episodes. The first episode will cover everything from lighting the fire to building the first house, following exactly how you entered the micro-world.”
Chen Yang thought about it and realized that this was quite an interesting thing.
“We’ll film the pottery making and stone axe and spear making first. You can come back after you finish harvesting the barley. Starting a fire is still your job; you’re the best at starting a fire by hand,” Wang Bing said.
"Leave the filming to me," Li Sen said.
Chen Yang is also quite interested in the documentary, but we'll discuss everything once he gets back.
Today is the last day of his trip to Australia.
On this last day, he didn't go to the beach or prepare any special activities. He simply rented an apartment hotel with a kitchen and cooked and chatted with Li Su'er.
After lunch, they went for a walk, browsed the mall, and bought some local specialties.
For dinner, Chen Yang secretly asked the hotel staff to prepare a candlelight dinner for him. When they returned, everything was already ready.
"Alien Yang, I thought you'd lost all your romantic flair, but I didn't expect you to still be so good at creating things," Li Su'er said upon seeing the candlelight dinner.
"We still need to be romantic once in a while," Chen Yang said with a smile.
The candlelight dinner was rather ordinary; both of them were dressed casually, without any formal attire or suits, and there was no engagement ring hidden in the cake or wine.
Chen Yang prefers a simple life, not because he lacks ambition and dreams, but because it is his nature.
Perhaps influenced by Chen Yang, Li Su'er also fell in love with this feeling. She thought it was quite nice.
Their trip to Australia ended uneventfully.
That night in the micro-realm, they did not continue exploring the plateau. Instead, they spent a day harvesting all the barley, sorted it simply, tied it up, wrapped it in a straw mat, and placed it on the horse's back.
Although barley is not heavy, such a large quantity is still somewhat difficult for two horses to carry, especially when they are carrying Li Su'er and Chen Yang.
So they had to abandon some tools and most of the water, keeping only the necessary rations and weapons. They could replenish their water supply on the way back; having come from that side, they knew where to find it.
When the European Emperor saw the two horses carrying a tall stack of barley on their backs, he became interested and hopped along, pulling Chen Yang along so that it could also tie a small bundle to its own back.
The European king seemed to feel this was an honor, jumping around proudly. Luckily, it didn't have much barley on it, otherwise it would have run out of energy quickly.
By the time they finished doing all this, it was already dark. A day had passed just like that.
When they woke up the next day, their journey home was disrupted by an unexpected event: their flight to Hangzhou was canceled due to mechanical failure, leaving them with no choice but to reschedule or transfer at another location.
"Su'er's mom, do you want to fly to Shanghai to see me?" Chen Liu suddenly sent a message to Li Su'er after learning about the situation.
Li Su'er was taken aback, seemingly hesitant.
"I want to see my dad, and you should see my mom too, shouldn't you?" Chen Liu sent another message.
Chen Yang happened to be next to Li Su'er and saw the message, shaking his head speechlessly.
"Why can't Chen Liu act a little more childish?"
Chen Yang felt utterly helpless about his overly intelligent son.
"Alien Yang, are we going to Shanghai?" Li Su'er asked hesitantly.
"It's up to you, I'm fine with anything."
"But I'm a little afraid to see Mo Xi."
"What, are you afraid I'll rekindle my old flame?" Chen Yang laughed.
Li Su'er shook her head and said, "I originally thought I would think that way, but you, Alien Yang, are so reassuring."
"Then what are you worried about?"
"I'm afraid I'll feel inferior if I see Mo Xi; there's just too much of a gap between us."
"Mo Xi does indeed make people feel inferior."
"Can't you even comfort me?"
Chen Yang said, "To be honest, but you're the one with me now. In this respect, you still win against her."
Li Su'er pouted, "Sometimes I don't understand why you chose me."
Have you heard what Lin Huiyin said to Liang Sicheng?
"What?"
Before their marriage, Liang Sicheng asked Lin Huiyin, "There's one question I'll only ask you once, and I'll never ask it again: Why me?" Lin Huiyin replied, "The answer is long; I'll need a lifetime to answer you. Are you ready to hear it?" This is also my answer to you.
Li Su'er was taken aback, thought about it carefully, and then said, "Alien Yang, you're actually pretty good at picking up girls, aren't you? That kind of talk is absolutely irresistible, okay?"
"I also think I might have a talent for this. By the way, have you decided to go to Shanghai now?"
Li Su'er nodded: "Go!"
They immediately bought plane tickets to Shanghai, also for flights departing around 9 PM Beijing time, so as not to delay their trip to Weijie.
However, they arrived in Shanghai late at night.
Chen Yang and Li Su'er, having re-entered the micro-world, began their return journey at a faster pace, while the others started filming, and the research work on the Tasmanian wolf was handed over to Weng Ji.
Because he was going to be on camera, Guo Zifeng specially cleaned his animal skin clothes and took a good bath at the hot spring on the island in the lake.
"They're not even showing their faces, yet they're making such a big show of it." Even Bai Jing couldn't help but complain.
“You dressed up a bit too, just like me,” Guo Zifeng said.
They are now filming the pottery-making process. This part is, of course, handled by Guo Zifeng and Bai Jing.
Filming the process from the very basics of kiln building, step by step, takes a considerable amount of time, as the kiln itself needs time to dry.
Since they don't have to show their faces, they don't feel any pressure.
Since entering the micro-world, Guo Zifeng has built many kilns, improving upon each one, making him very experienced.
He proceeded methodically, starting with building the kiln foundation.
Bai Jing then began using soil from the termite nest to make pottery jars and bowls. She used the coil-building method, rolling mud into strips and then coiling them layer by layer to make pottery jars, also mixing in wood ash.
Bai Jing has been making pottery for a while now and is quite experienced. Moreover, compared to the commonly used wheel throwing method, the coil building method is more primitive and ancient, and looks more effective.
They can shoot in stages, so the order doesn't have much impact.
Li Sen had some photography skills, and Zhang Jian, although a painter, also had some knowledge of photography and helped with the shooting.
They planned to start the documentary with footage of Chen Yang's unparalleled fire-making skills.
Because when Chen Yang started a fire, it was truly admirable. No matter what method he used, he could master it skillfully and start a flame in the fastest time.
They were enthusiastically filming a documentary, unaware of the sensation it would cause later.
