Chapter 46 The Era of Military Reclamation (2)
The military reclamation policy was written into the laws of the Great Abyss Sea, and all members of the Fine Demon Clan must join the military reclamation corps from the age of twenty.
The responsibilities of the military reclamation corps were to reclaim wasteland, plant crops, protect forests, and defend the territory.
Every member of the tribe was a soldier in the military reclamation corps from the age of twenty to eighty. After the age of eighty, they could choose to retire.
After retiring, the government allocated a small five-square-meter pristine water area, a five-acre plot of fertile, cultivated farmland, and a private twenty-square-meter house.
If one is capable enough, one can choose not to retire and remain in the military reclamation corps.
Ten years after the decree was issued, the entire Dust Continent was thriving.
Thanks to the improved environment, the first rain fell over the sea off Daeyoshi a year later.
Strictly speaking, this rain was an artificial rain event.
The potion was developed by Bo Yiyan and his team, and the materials needed for the potion were all extracted from various local minerals.
As for the mortars needed for artificial rainmaking, they were created by Xiao Bao using his metal powers, based on a 3D model drawn by Mao Li.
After the first rainfall, there was a second, a third...
Two years later, after thirty-five artificial rainmaking events, the Great Abyss Sea finally welcomed its first natural rainfall.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and dark clouds covered the sky, but all the members of the military reclamation corps were overjoyed and looked up at the sky.
They eagerly await the natural rainfall they've been dreaming of.
As everyone waited expectantly, rain finally fell from the sky.
The rain wasn't heavy; it was light and only lasted for less than half an hour.
However, this rain signifies that the ecological cycle of the Dust Continent has finally returned to normal.
Meanwhile, the various wild grasses and mutated plants that Yu Shan directed the members of the military reclamation team to plant have all grown vigorously.
Everywhere you look, there are lush green shrubs and mutated poplar trees, the tallest of which have grown to more than ten meters high.
On the uncultivated, rocky wilderness, the descendants of the fairy also grew in abundance.
Cacti reproduce extremely quickly, and their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, though lacking sentience, still possess remarkable resilience.
Their extensive growth has captured large amounts of water vapor evaporating from the seawater.
After a full year of planting, Yu Shan and his team finally began raising small animals such as pheasants and squirrels.
In the third year, they began raising livestock because the area of pasture they had planted was already large enough.
In the fifth year, they began to grow grain, which further promoted the development of animal husbandry.
Of course, the biggest change has occurred in the Great Abyss Sea.
The area of the Great Abyss Sea has expanded by a full third compared to when Yu Shan and his group first arrived ten years ago.
The depth of the seawater has increased from a maximum of tens of meters to a maximum of over one hundred meters.
Today, the seawater in Dayuanhai has been completely purified.
This is not only due to the purification abilities of Xi'er and Yu Shan, but also thanks to the efforts of the entire population in protecting the purity of the seawater, as well as the seawater purification powder developed by Panda and Mao Li.

After Xi'er celebrated her sixteenth birthday, with only one year left until she turned seventeen, she decided to travel alone.
Before this, her older brother Achen and sister-in-law Nie Xiaoxiao accompanied her every time she went out.
Achen and Nie Xiaoxiao are now a couple. Although they often quarrel, their relationship is good.
Three days before Xi'er's birthday, Nie Xiaoxiao had already successfully proposed to Achen.
Everyone thought it was perfectly normal for the girl to propose to the boy.
After all, from the very beginning, Nie Xiaoxiao was the dominant one in their relationship.
Originally, Yu Shan and Xiao Bai were worried that their son wouldn't like such a strong-willed girl, since many men don't like strong-willed girls.
But later, the parents gradually realized that their son had already gotten used to the girl's assertiveness.
After successfully proposing, Nie Xiaoxiao did not plan to marry Achen immediately. They decided to wait until the teleportation channel to the Misty Heaven was repaired, then return there together to inform Nie's parents and hold the wedding.
Both Yu Shan and Xiao Bai are accepting of the fact that they have been dating for many years but are not in a hurry to get married.
After all, on their home planet, late marriage and late childbirth are quite normal.
To secure the opportunity to travel alone, Xi'er practically wore herself out, first persuading her father and mother, then the high priest, and Uncle Bo and the others.
As for her brother, Chen, being a young man himself, he didn't object, but secretly drew a whole bunch of offensive and defensive talismans for Xi'er.
If you encounter real danger, you can kill your enemy by smashing them with talismans.
Before leaving, Xi'er's space contained not only a large number of talismans, but also a large number of ready-made delicacies and a large number of beautiful clothes for all four seasons.
Among Xi'er's entourage, besides her contracted beasts Fusheng and Ruomeng, there are her contracted servants Qilu, Wuyi, and Wujin.
Qilu surrendered voluntarily and was highly credible. Over time, he became one of Xi'er's four contracted purple demons. Apart from the High Priest, he was the one Xi'er valued the most and served as her personal steward.
Wuyi is the Black Abyss Lord who attempted to seize Xi'er as a slave, while Wujin is the rebel leader, Lord Wujin.
With these three purple demon servants following them, and two transformed iridescent holy butterflies, this force was actually enough to crush a thousand-man military reclamation regiment.
However, Xiao Bao and Ling Deng insisted on following, because Ling Deng missed her homeland and wanted to go back to Shiyihai, where she grew up.
The most crucial point is that the lamp is pregnant.
The pregnant sea monster was emotionally unstable, with moods fluctuating between good and bad. To fulfill her wish and to protect his little niece, Xiao Bao insisted on bringing the spirit lamp with him.
