103: Large-scale environmental renovation project launched!

When Lu Chen's rhetorical question, filled with mythological color and lofty ambition, "How many years did Jingwei take to fill the sea?" echoed clearly through the encrypted line in the temporary command center in the heart of the Taklamakan Desert.

Chief Commander Zhang, the dark-skinned, resolute middle-aged man, was first stunned.

Immediately, his weathered eyes burst forth with a terrifying brilliance, hotter than the desert sun!

He suddenly straightened his back!

Like a Populus euphratica tree rooted in the desert!

He roared at the calm-faced young man on the video screen:

"Reporting, Academician Lu!"

"Legend says Jingwei took tens of millions of years to fill the sea!"

"But we! People of Xia Kingdom in the new era!"

"We have you!"

"We will transform this small desert"

"And seize every moment!"

His words were powerful and resonant!

Forceful and impactful!

Filled with the unique confidence and pride of a Xia Kingdom "infrastructure builder"!

"Good!"

Lu Chen, on the other end of the video, nodded heavily!

Flames also burned brightly in his dark eyes, as vast as the universe!

"Since that's the case!"

"Then"

"I, declare!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a divine oracle, opening up the heavens and earth!

Clearly echoing in the ears of every Xia Kingdom citizen striving for this great project!

"The first phase of the 'Houtu' Project, 'Desert oasis Transformation'"

"Now, begins!"

As soon as his words fell!

"heavenly craft!"

[Here, Master.]

"Activate the 'genesis' program!"

[Command received.]

["genesis" No. 1, ecological transformation program activated!]

[Sending activation command to one million engineering nanobot motherships]

[Command, sent successfully!]

The next second!

An unprecedented, world-creating feat, capable of making even gods and demons change color!

Officially began!

In the center of the vast, desolate, and silent Taklamakan Desert!

The one million silver-white metal spheres, each only fist-sized, precisely dropped into various areas!

Unexpectedly lit up simultaneously with a green glow full of life!

Then!

"Crack, crack"

A crisp sound, like cracking eggshells, rang out!

The one million metal spheres, like living insect eggs!

Split open from the middle!

Releasing billions of nanobots, tens of thousands of times smaller than grains of sand, almost invisible to the naked eye!

They were like disciplined swarms of miniature sappers!

Under the unified command of heavenly craft!

Sweeping madly towards the boundless yellow sea of sand in all directions!

Where they passed, a miracle occurred!

Those originally loose, barren, lifeless yellow sand grains!

Were decomposed and reorganized at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Transforming into moist, fertile black soil, rich in nutrients!

And this was just the beginning!

When the first batch of nanobots completed the initial soil transformation!

The second batch of nanobots followed closely!

They released billions of super grass seeds from their miniature databases, genetically edited and specially modified to adapt to the desert environment.

grass seeds!

They buried these grass seeds deep into the fertile black soil!

Then!

The third batch of nanobots also arrived!

Their task was the simplest and most

brutal!

They burrowed deep underground!

Then activated the miniature "controlled nuclear fusion" within their bodies

energy core!

Melting the hard rock layers deep underground to create dense, spiderweb-like underground

waterways!

Continuously drawing melted snow from mountains thousands of miles away and underground rivers to this land of death that had been dry for tens of millions of years!

"Rumble—"

A dull roar, like an ancient beast awakening, came from deep underground!

The next second!

Clear, enormous water columns, full of life!

Like awakened water dragons!

Shot into the sky!

Transforming into a sky full of sweet rain!

Evenly sprinkling onto the black earth that had just been sown with seeds of hope!

"Water! Water's coming out!"

"Oh my God! It's really, coming out!"

Chief Commander Zhang, with his dark skin, watched this "miraculous" scene in the command center, trembling with excitement!

He rushed out of the command room like a madman!

Rushing into the pouring sweet rain!

He spread his arms, roared to the sky!

Letting the cold, life-filled rainwater wash over his hot, tear-streaked old face!

And what made him and all the infrastructure fanatics present tremble even more to their souls!

Was yet to come!

On the black earth, moistened by the sweet rain!

Patches of tender green, full of vitality and hope!

green!

Unexpectedly, at a terrifying speed that defied all biological common sense!

Broke through the soil!

Growing wildly!

One centimeter!

Ten centimeters!

One meter!

In just one hour!

That deathly sea of sand, which was originally barren!

Had transformed into a vast, lush, vibrant grassland!

grassland!

"This, this, this..."

Chief Commander Zhang stared blankly at the magnificent panorama before him, a scene worthy of being called "creation"!

His lips trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence!

He suddenly turned and looked at the young man who had remained calm throughout!

His cloudy old eyes were filled with an unparalleled fervor and

worship!

He knew!

From today onwards!

The "desert" that had plagued Xia Kingdom for thousands of years

Will become history forever!

And the one who ushered in this great era was this eighteen-year-old

young god!

"Academician Lu, Lu..."

He walked up to Lu Chen, and for the first time, his head, which had been proud for a lifetime, bowed deeply!

His voice was hoarse, yet filled with heartfelt admiration!

"I, Zhang Jianguo, am convinced!"

"Completely convinced!"

"From today onwards!"

"You are the only 'God' in the hearts of all us Xia Kingdom infrastructure builders!"

"God!"
