Chapter 497 - On Reconstruction (II) (1/2)

The so-called “bunkers” are actually special metal circles buried deep in the soil. When the instrument is officially operated driven by magnetic force, it will form a semisolid gas s.h.i.+eld. Some surviving federal gathering places on the earth are all protected by such kind of bunkers. As for some places with chaotic atmosphere like the moonstar, they need more advanced bunkers.

Building these bunkers also needs energy. Many years ago, the Earth Federation was inspired by psionic weapons and it uses mutant monster inner boluses as support.

The bunkers are soon ready. There are many volunteers who work for the reconstruction project without being paid. Teams of agriculturists are also here. Some gray-haired old men burst into tears when they hold many plants which have died out during the war. Some more stare at those little saplings. They seem to see the prosperous future of forests.

In fact, in the past three hundred years, the Earth Federation of the New Era has done a lot of research on how to restore the earth land. The most effective way is to bury expensive inner boluses of mutant monsters under the soil layer. If plant seedlings are strong enough to survive the preliminary tough period, the harmful substances in the mutated soil land will be changed although the grown fruit may still not be edible after a few generations of planting.

The effect is predictable but the cost is so expensive that the Earth Federation doesn’t carry out this plan.

Actually, the gray fog is invisible to the naked eye of mortals. It is the substance that kills the organic matter in the soil. Reiki is the most effective thing to deal with the gray fog. Lin Luoran understood this when Baojia was seriously injured lying on the surgical bed many years ago.

However, Lin Luoran doesn’t want to carry out the plan of those agricultural scholars.

It takes so many inner boluses of mutant monsters. Even if she can kill monsters to get them, her hands will totally be numb at that moment.

She has something better than the inner boluses. Liao hints that it’s the time for her “mother lode of five element” to work.

Lin Luoran remembers she never mentions “the mother lode of five element” to Liao. Liao has been very mysterious and he seems to be totally clear about her situation.

Now he and cyan little fox have both been to Weifang, Shandong. Liao has never given up on the Counry of Green Mountains. No one knows when the person and the fox will return.

After volunteers “clean up” mutant monsters, they successfully install the bunkers and build defenses. Lin Luoran chooses one night to put the mother lode of five elements into the ground. She almost drives away the gray fog in the test field. When the soil quality is improved and the plants can survive, she can take back the mother lode to transform another area.

She feels a little worried because the gray fog being driven away doesn’t just disappear but goes to other places.

It seems that Reiki can only fight the gray fog but cannot eliminate it… if things gradually deteriorate, the gray fog on the earth will gather together. If she can’t find a solution at that time, the situation may be even worse than today.

Sure enough, everything is risky.

Lin Luoran dresses herself as an ordinary volunteer and plants a locust tree on a hill outside Dongting City.

The groundwater quality has totally changed. People have to bring water from Dongting Lake for irrigation. An artificial lake is built in a low terrain area. Some small fish and shrimp are also brought here and they are stranded in some places. Those volunteers don’t just eat them as Lin Luoran thinks. Instead, they voluntarily release the fish and shrimp… They are even better than she thought.

Volunteers work for free and the federal government pays for most of the food. Occasionally, there are some wealthy and famous businessmen provide snacks for volunteers.

For example, the Han family in the eighth district of the moonstar provides a thousand pounds of white noodles today. Cutting boards and large pots are set up on the wilderness. Volunteers who are good at cooking take the initiative to cook. They knead the noodles and make a fire. More than a hundred people steam buns to make dumplings together. There is too much demand for too few terminals. Some people get snacks and some even drink up all soup in the pot. Those who eat nothing are not annoyed but still enjoy this snack event.

In a mountain col, Han Kuisheng watches Han Weiya carefully planting some pine trees. He feels a little upset, “Weiya, do cultivators also have to plant themselves?”

Han Weiya nods, “After asking Aunt Lin’s opinion, the Federation decided that federal citizens can apply for a trial plot in the reconstruction area. People can plant green plants on half of the land and grow cash crops on the rest of the land. As long as citizens do the farm work for more than ten years, the experimental field will be registered in their name in the future. Dad, though the place is remote, it takes me a lot of effort to finally get it!”
