The seawater still was handed over to Weng Ji and Ding Qihan for construction.
Although these two theorists weren't very skilled at shaping clay, they could still manage, as they had made pottery a few times out of curiosity while at the camp.
The main structure of a seawater still is actually similar to that of an earthen stove: a covered steamer, a tube, a section of which is immersed in water to condense the steam, and leaves are plugged into the tube opening to guide the water to flow down.
However, this is easier said than done.
When Chen Yang and Ye Wu returned in the evening, they were still not ready.
Chen Yang and Ye Wu didn't find a freshwater source, but they did find a lobster and a fish, and collected some sea snails.
"Please make do with what you have," Chen Yang said.
He and Ye Wu spent the day looking for water nearby. They only started collecting food when it got cooler in the evening, so they didn't collect enough food to feed the five of them.
They still have some fresh water left, so they can distill it again tomorrow.
There are plenty of coconuts around, enough to last them a few days. But if they don't distill enough fresh water or find a fresh water source tomorrow, they'll need to walk four or five hours to reach the stream in the desert to fetch water. They'll have to carry the water back, which will take even longer; fetching water will take a whole day.
They had more water than they could drink in ten lifetimes right in front of them, but they couldn't drink seawater and had to find other water sources or distill it.
Their first day at the beach passed just like that.
On the second day at noon, Guo Zifeng arrived at the inn.
"Found a suitable place, half an hour's drive from Micro World, let's go check it out."
Ye Wu and Li Su'er also wanted to join in the fun, so they took the car together.
Microworld Inn isn't even in the city center, so it's another half hour drive.
"This is an abandoned resort. They originally planned to build a small park nearby, but the funding dried up, and it has been abandoned for a year or two."
As Guo Zifeng drove, he explained to Chen Yang, "It's basically just a grassy area with a stream and a few trees. The location isn't great, so it's not expensive."
"Thank you very much, Brother Guo. If it were me doing this, it might not be so convenient," Chen Yang said.
Guo Zifeng smiled but didn't say anything. This deal was beneficial to both parties, and it was also for the benefit of Microworld, so he was naturally very happy about it.
The land was indeed not expensive, as he said, but there was an elderly person living there who looked after the place. He spent an extra 500,000 to 600,000 yuan to arrange a new place for the elderly person to live and work.
The most troublesome part is that the micro-world requires that no one can live within a two-kilometer radius.
Fortunately, the resort occupies a considerable area, and after being completely abandoned, it is indeed uninhabited. All other conditions also meet the requirements of the micro-world.
The car drove onto a lawn.
"This is it. This whole meadow is 1,300 square meters in total. There's a stream, and the vegetation coverage is almost 100%," Guo Zifeng introduced.
This patch of grass clearly looks like it has been abandoned for a long time; it's overgrown with weeds, and the trees haven't been trimmed in ages.
A stream flows through the middle of the meadow, and there is a wooden bridge in the middle of the stream that is almost buried by weeds.
"Yes, it meets all the requirements. Is there really no one living around here?" Chen Yang asked.
Guo Zifeng nodded and said, "This meadow is right around the resort. There used to be a village next to it, but no one has lived there for two years, and very few people pass by it."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Okay, this one will do."
Guo Zifeng took a folder out of the car and said, "This is the contract. The other party has already signed everything that needs to be signed. Now all you need to do is sign it."
Chen Yang glanced at it briefly and then signed his name. After he finished writing the last stroke, Chen Yang received a notification from the micro-world.
"Congratulations, Realm Lord, on acquiring your own land. Please wait for the Micro Realm to carry out assimilation and perception interference modifications."
Chen Yang was taken aback. Did it still need modification?
However, just about ten seconds later, Microworld gave another prompt.
"Once the renovation is complete, no one other than the residents of the area will be able to discover or enter this place."
"After entering the micro-realm, please connect with this place. Like the micro-realm, this place must not be revealed."
The second task required entering the micro-realm to complete, so he stopped considering it, took a short stroll around the neighborhood with the others, and then returned to the inn.
Inside the inn, a number of people had gathered. The Yun family and the Hou family had all come, as well as Xia Yue, Zhang Jian, and Lin Ke. Even Sanpang was obediently staying in Lin Ke's arms.
Lin Ke has been coming here frequently lately. Once, she couldn't get a room and ended up sharing a room with Zhang Jian, but it seems nothing substantial happened.
"We're harvesting wheat. There's plenty, more than enough. We can plant more next year," Xia Yue said with a smile.
She eagerly awaited the moment when the wheat would be ground into flour, at which point she could make all sorts of pastries.
Whether it's Chinese or Western-style pastries, flour is the most important ingredient.
Many cakes can be made with just flour. Although there is a shortage of sucrose, there are also many cakes that use very little sugar, and most breads don't use sugar at all.
They have a lot of jam to use, which can be used to make many kinds of cakes.
The flour is still being harvested, but the camp is already preparing to modify the stone mills. The millstones used for hulling are different from those used for grinding flour.
This is where the power of the windmill comes into play. If we relied on manual labor to grind it, it would take an unknown amount of time and be very laborious.
"How are the cattle in Crescent Bay doing?" Chen Yang asked Li Ye.
Li Ye's interactions with everyone are now quite normal, especially with the few people she met as soon as she entered the micro-world.
“The cows are very well-behaved, but they don’t like to come out,” Li Ye said. “They like Crescent Bay.”
“They harvested all the grass in Crescent Bay, and then used the harvested grass to lure them out,” Chen Yang said.
Li Ye's eyes lit up, and he nodded.
Hong Gui is currently modifying and expanding the existing bamboo rafts. He is setting up two separate areas to carry cattle, maintaining balance, and blocking the cattle's view from all sides.
Carrying two cows would definitely require two or three people to row, and the load is quite heavy, making it a challenge.
The cattle from Crescent Bay can be transported to the island in the middle of the lake first, and then to the Xindu campsite.
There are several cows inside. If they enter lactation, there will be milk, which is one of the cake ingredients that Xia Yue is really looking forward to. Also, the children in the micro-world should drink more milk.
That evening, after Chen Yang re-entered the Micro Realm, the Micro Realm prompted him whether to associate the Micro Realm with the land he had found.
"Please note, Realm Lord, after the connection is established, all Realm Citizens can choose whether to enter the land owned by the Realm Lord. Each time they enter, their physical status will be synchronized with the micro-realm."
