Chapter 268 Wild Panda
It turned out to be possible, which made Lu Xingtang very happy. So while collecting resources, he was also looking for the ruins of famous scenic spots and historical sites, and every bit of space expansion counted.
They stayed in SX Province for a full six months, and the entire year 2109 had passed. It was not until January 2110 that they left SX Province and entered Shaanxi Province.
Shaanxi Province is also very rich in supplies, and Lu Xingtang and his team did not miss it. Just like in SX Province, they first investigated the resource situation in Shaanxi Province and collected resources as they went.
Lu Xingtang and his team collected a portion of Shaanxi Province's plant resources, water resources, land resources, and mineral resources, especially the mineral resources, which were Lu Xingtang's favorite. Shaanxi Province had an extraordinary amount of mineral resources, including high-quality coal, oil, natural gas, salt, clay, building materials, non-metallic minerals, non-ferrous metals, precious metals, ferrous metals, various non-metallic minerals, natural gas, salt mines, and limestone for alkali production.
Vanadium ore, limestone for calcium carbide, rutile, molybdenum, mercury, rare earth, asbestos, kaolin, limestone for cement, quartzite for glass, vermiculite, coal, rock gold, etc.
Shaanxi Province has many types of minerals, rich total resources and huge potential value. There are few large mines and many small mines, few rich mines and many poor mines, few single mineral deposits and many co-existing mineral deposits.
After gathering supplies in Shaanxi for a while, they were surprised to discover that Shaanxi was in far better shape than SX and other provinces. With many survivors and abundant resources, Shaanxi had likely experienced the least natural disasters since the disaster began. This was especially true of scenic spots and historical sites. The supplies provided by these sites indicated that the disaster in Shaanxi wasn't particularly severe, so everyone proceeded with increased caution.
This also caused them to stop collecting in Shaanxi Province for seven months before leaving. Not only did they have to collect, but they also had to avoid survivors and GJ people, so their collection was very slow and took longer than in SX Province.
After leaving Shaanxi Province, they finally entered GS Province. The supplies in GS Province were also very rich. Lu Xingtang and his team were collecting while heading towards Lancheng.
As a result, they discovered a gold mine in a place between SG Province and Shaanxi Province. Ji Yanmo immediately told Lu Xingtang the news. Lu Xingtang was very happy and was trying to find a way to put the gold mine into the space. Ji Yanmo said that he could use his supernatural power to help Lu Xingtang put the gold mine into the space.
It took Ji Yanmo a full seven days to store the gold mine into the space.
After receiving one gold mine, Lu Xingtang wanted to receive the second gold mine. One gold mine entered the space and the space expanded. Although he did not carefully explore the situation in the space, Lu Xingtang could feel the Blue Star Heart Tree in the black soil shaking its branches, showing its excitement and happiness at the moment.
Seeing the Blue Star Tree so happy, Lu Xingtang immediately explored the changes in the space. He found that the black soil in the space had expanded to 2 million mu, 900 warehouses, 2 lakes, 50 mountain ranges, grasslands the size of four border cities, and five villas. The sea area had doubled in size, and the port had doubled in size. No other changes had occurred.
Could a single gold mine have caused such a dramatic change? No, it was because Lu Xingtang had also acquired numerous historical sites before acquiring the gold mine. Sites are also valuable to the space. The combination of these sites and a single gold mine would have caused such a dramatic change.
What Lu Xingtang and his team had never expected was that when they were collecting animal resources in GS Province, they passed through Diebu, Zhouqu, Wudu, Wenxian, Baishuijiang, Gannan, Jianshan and Western Qinling Mountains, and they actually discovered the national treasure, the wild giant panda.
There were not many of them, only 13 in total. The moment Lu Xingtang and his friends saw the giant pandas, their eyes turned red. Lu Xingtang specially found a place suitable for giant pandas to survive in the mountains in the space, sent the 13 giant pandas to the space for protection, and planted a lot of bamboo shoots in this mountain range.
Bamboo shoots from other mountains in the space were moved to this mountain so that the baby pandas would have food to eat.
Worried that the panda babies would not be able to adapt to the unfamiliar environment, they collected many familiar ecological environments from Diebu, Zhouqu, Wudu, Wenxian, Baishuijiang, Gannan, Jianshan and Western Qinling Mountains that could be moved to the space.
Lu Xingtang and his friends didn't know how to raise wild pandas, so they could only observe the condition of the panda babies every day, hoping that they could survive well in the space and reproduce freely.
"I wonder how the baby pandas in Sichuan Province are doing? If I have the chance in the future, I can go to Sichuan Province and take a look. Maybe I can encounter a baby panda and take them into the space to survive. It's better than being outside and being constantly frightened by natural disasters and worrying about losing their lives at the next moment."
Seeing Lu Xingtang's rare melancholy, Ji Yanmo took Lu Xingtang's hand and said, "When our base is completed, let's go to Sichuan Province to take a look!" They are very close to Sichuan Province now, but in comparison, the base is more important. Lu Xingtang gave up going to Sichuan Province to look for giant pandas and will go to take a look after the base is completed and there are no problems.
Knowing that Lu Xingtang liked giant pandas, they did not go to Lancheng immediately, but continued to search for giant pandas to see if they could find any more. If they found any, they would put them into the space.
So they searched for 10 days, and with better luck they found the mother panda and her two cubs. They sent them into space and let them live with their own kind in the space mountains.
Lu Xingtang specially planted some vegetables, carrots and apple trees in the mountains, and moved the bamboo forest outside into the space so that they could have food at any time and would not go hungry.
After collecting the pandas, they went to Lancheng. When they arrived in Lancheng, it was already January 20, 2111.
Lu Xingtang found a deserted spot and released everyone from the space. "We have now arrived in Lancheng. We have collected a lot of supplies along the way, enough for us to build our own base! But we must survey Lancheng and find a suitable place to enclose land and build a base!"
Lu Xingtang took out the map and everyone began to study the map of Lancheng. After research, they decided on several places. The next day, Lu Xingtang took everyone to conduct an on-site survey. After a month of survey, they finally decided to set the base in Chengguan District, the center of Lancheng.
After determining the address, Lu Xingtang took out the wooden house he had built in Qing'an Peak in Hangzhou and let everyone live there for a while. Then he would build a wooden house with mortise and tenon structure next to this house, and move to the base after the house at the base was built.
The reason why it was chosen in Chengguan District is that there are no survivors in Chengguan District, but there are many ruins of buildings and many building materials can be used.
While surveying the terrain, they were also drawing blueprints of the base. Lu Xingtang's goal was to build an indestructible base that could withstand any natural disaster. The base would not only be on the ground but also underground. In case the ground became uninhabitable, they could still live underground.
So this is a big project, and Lu Xingtang and his team can't rush it. They have to do it step by step to build the base.
