The last few days of summer camp went well for everyone, as they all adapted to the environment of Outer Boundaries.
With their experience in the micro-world, adapting to the outside world wasn't difficult. So in the following days, they had more food options and found more plants and animals. Even with fifty or sixty people, it was enough to eat. Anyway, they didn't need to develop or build anything; they had everything they needed. They just needed to find food.
Compared to the Micro World, this is practically beginner level.
On the last day, no one needed to look for food anymore; their stored food was enough for everyone to eat on the last day.
They cooked a big meal, enjoyed the scenery and chatted around the RV, and cleaned up the trash and threw the food scraps elsewhere to prevent large carnivores from gathering there in the future, since Chen Yang would be staying there often.
This experience gave the residents a unique outdoor experience; while it may not be unforgettable, it was certainly memorable.
Most of the inhabitants of the Micro Realm did not experience the initial stages of the Micro Realm. When they arrived, the Micro Realm had already developed to a very mature stage, and there was no need for them to worry about it anymore.
Even those in other camps did not have to worry about food and shelter thanks to the assistance from the Xindu camp.
Back when Chen Yang and his friends first started building the camp, the camp hadn't been named yet, and everything was unknown, requiring exploration and development.
Unlike now, where there are perfect conditions and four gates. Most places in the micro-world have also been developed.
Chen Yang still misses that time when he had to try everything, research everything, and encounter problems. Everything was new and exciting.
But I'm doing quite well now, and it feels more like home.
After the summer camp ended, everyone went home. However, because of the summer camp activities, seven people chose to leave the Xindu camp and go to other camps.
They realized that they preferred a challenging life to a comfortable one, and they felt incredibly fulfilled during their days at summer camp.
Chen Yang did not interfere with their choices, but allowed them to try freely. If the development was not suitable, they could return to the camp.
As long as he follows the rules, doesn't seek unearned gains or engage in indiscriminate killing, and doesn't do anything that significantly impacts the micro-world's environment, he will go with the world's inhabitants.
The speed of camp development is always determined by the number of people; more people mean faster development, fewer people mean slower development. He accepts either way.
After the inhabitants of the outer realms left, Chen Yang also left the outer realms and returned to the Micro Realm with Li Su'er. He didn't want to become someone detached from real life. In any case, real life was the foundation of everything.
Although Chen Yang could sense the turbidity of the atmosphere in the real world, the feeling of being able to blend into nature made him unable to feel any aversion to this turbid atmosphere.
After the summer camp ended, Weng Ji brought a laptop to find Chen Yang.
"Chen Yang, I have some guesses that I'd like to discuss with you," Weng Ji said to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang led him to the RV in the outer area, where Weng Ji turned on the computer for Chen Yang.
"Take a look at these papers first, just look at the titles and the gist," Weng Ji said to Chen Yang, opening a folder.
Chen Yang opened the document and quickly browsed through it. His browsing speed was fast, a little slower than Weng Ji's so-called "approximately", but he was reading it carefully.
"The Earth is Shrinking," "The Disappearing Land and Its Stability Inferences," "The Latest Measurements of Earth's Volume"...
"Does it match the area outside the boundary?" Chen Yang asked.
"It matches perfectly. I compared the data changes several times with my previous measurements of the area outside the boundary. Although I don't know the depth of the land, the match is very high, so I can basically conclude that..."
"So you've concluded that the land outside the boundary is stealing Earth's land, is that right?" Chen Yang said.
Ongji nodded and said, "That's right, the extraterrestrial lands come from Earth."
"Professor Weng, shouldn't you be worried that if things continue like this, the Earth will one day get smaller and smaller?"
"That's right, but I've compiled another set of data. The data shows that since the existence of the extraterrestrial land, the mortality rate of each earthquake has been decreasing dramatically. Furthermore, the number of aftershocks is also decreasing, with one magnitude 7 earthquake even having only one minor aftershock. The data from the micro-world is correct; the land that is moved away during each earthquake will stabilize the earthquake, but if this continues, the Earth will be prone to problems."
"Professor Weng, could you give me a general range? I can control the growth of the land outside the boundary," Chen Yang said calmly.
Weng Ji was taken aback and asked, "You've already reached this level?"
“Yes, I can. Taking over the Outer Boundaries means that I have the right to control its development,” Chen Yang said.
Chen Yang could sense that something else was causing the growth of the land beyond the boundary. He didn't understand this power, but he could reject it.
"I've calculated it; it's roughly equivalent to the area of Australia."
"So big?" Chen Yang was taken aback.
"Theoretically, this is impossible. The Earth has its own stability, and the loss of any part would cause great chaos. It's like if you hollow out a piece from the inside of a sphere, the sphere will shift its center of gravity due to uneven mass. But the energy of the micro-sphere is equivalent to re-compacting and rounding the sphere, only making it a tiny bit smaller. This is actually nothing to the Earth as a whole. You know, the Earth is a solid sphere, and we only live in a very shallow layer on the surface. However, it can't be too small either, otherwise the change in surface area would be too large, which would definitely cause big problems."
“Okay, I understand. I’ll stop the growth of the outer realms before the problem occurs,” Chen Yang said.
Weng Ji breathed a sigh of relief, his expression finally softening. He had been worried about the growth rate of the outer lands, as their growth rate was astonishing; in about fifty years, they would probably be larger than the entire territory of China.
Fortunately, this is limited.
"Chen Yang, haven't you realized that the so-called alien remains have had any effect on you?"
"No, perhaps it has already affected me without me realizing it, because I have undergone many changes since taking over the outer lands."
Weng Ji was somewhat disappointed. If it weren't for the micro-world's notification of extraterrestrial remains, he wouldn't have believed it, since Chen Yang hadn't even touched the actual object.
These alien remains are truly baffling. A considerable amount of time and effort was spent digging in the icy wilderness of the Arctic, but in the end, we still couldn't figure out what they were.
"By the way, Country M organized an expedition to study the hole you left behind, but it seems they won't find anything out. Another unsolved mystery in the world is about to be added."
"I'll try my best another day and add two more unsolved mysteries of the world."
"At least you've solved one. I still believe in the micro-world; aliens really do exist."
