After the banquet ended, Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi returned to their room and slipped into the spatial dimension hand in hand.
The two of them each took a big gulp of the spiritual spring water to dispel the smell of alcohol from their bodies before lazily lying on the grass, staring blankly at the white sky.
After a long while, Tang Xiaoxiao finally spoke up: "Is it time for our desert project to begin?"
Han Yunqi said, "The time is about right. Besides, it wasn't originally intended to wait for Xuanxuan to come back before starting. You just want to give the little girl a legitimate opportunity to make a name for herself."
Tang Xiaoxiao chuckled softly, not objecting to his words.
It wasn't that she was arrogant, but given the current level of scientific research on Earth, it would be impossible for anyone to develop something comparable to the effects of her spatial spring water and black soil, even decades or centuries from now.
Although Xuanxuan is a PhD in biology, specializing in plant biology, she really doesn't have the ability to complete the plan that Tang Xiaoxiao envisioned.
She simply couldn't do it, at least not for a few decades.
That's right, the Desert Oasis Project was a major undertaking that Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi had long planned to implement.
Less than 30% of the Earth's land is actually habitable for humans, and of that 30%, desert areas, which are uninhabitable for humans, account for as much as 10%.
The deserts within China alone cover more than 1.3 million square kilometers, accounting for 13.6% of China's land area.
Moreover, the extent of the desert is not static; it has been expanding every year in previous years.
Over the years, there have been efforts to create oases in these desert areas, but with little success. In recent years, global environmental awareness, especially in China, has increased, and the level of environmental pollution has been greatly reduced. The progress of afforestation has also been gradually increasing each year. However, the problem of desertification has at most remained unchanged and has not continued to expand.
Taking advantage of her personal space, Tang Xiaoxiao had always harbored a bold idea.
Trees planted in the desert are difficult to survive, and irrigating the desert by diverting water resources from elsewhere is not only extremely costly but also not entirely beneficial.
But what about her?
Using the spiritual spring water for irrigation is impractical; the desert area is so vast that her space simply cannot supply it. But if she uses the magical soil in her space to cultivate drought-resistant plants and then transplants them into the desert, wouldn't the survival rate be greatly improved?
This was no small undertaking, and Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi hadn't had a moment's rest. Although Tang Xiaoxiao had already experimented with cultivating suitable species in her spatial dimension—species that could take root and survive without much water and reproduce easily—she had many other things to do, primarily because her youngest son still needed his parents' attention, and she hadn't had time to linger in the desert.
Now that Xuanxuan has returned to China after completing her studies, and since the little girl was eager to try the project after hearing her mention it once before, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let her handle it first.
If this succeeds, Xuanxuan will become internationally famous and may even go down in history.
It all depends on whether Tang Xinxin is willing to give it up.
Although Xuanxuan doesn't need to live in a place filled with yellow sand for a long time, she still needs to go there to conduct on-site surveys frequently.
However, judging from Tang Xinxin's attitude, as long as Xuanxuan is happy, she probably won't interfere too much.
Tang Xiaoxiao was lost in thought when she heard a noise above her head. She glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and smiled.
He reached out and grabbed a big, round creature, pulling it into his arms.
