<h4>Chapter 497 On Reconstruction (II)</h4>


    The so-called “bunkers” are actually special metal circles buried deep in the soil. When the instrument is officially operated driven by maic force, it will form a semisolid gas shield. Some surviving federal gathering ces on the earth are all protected by such kind of bunkers. As for some ces 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 nts 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 earthnd. The most effective way is to bury expensive inner boluses of mutant monsters under the soilyer. If nt seedlings are strong enough to survive the preliminary tough period, the harmful substances in the mutated soilnd will be changed although the grown fruit may still not be edible after a few generations of nting.


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


    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 n of those agricultural schrs.


    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 sessfully 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 nts 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 ces.


    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 nts 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 artificialke is built in a low terrain area. Some small fish and shrimp are also brought here and they are stranded in some ces. 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. asionally, 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 andrge 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 nting some pine trees. He feels a little upset, “Weiya, do cultivators also have to nt 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 nt green nts on half of thend and grow cash crops on the rest of thend. 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 ce is remote, it takes me a lot of effort to finally get it!”


    “Aunt Lin” her daughter is talking about is Mortal Heart Fairy. Han Kuisheng knows this truth not long ago. Han Weiya calls Mortal Heart Fairy as someone of his generation and Han Kuisheng feels so stressed and nervous about it.


    Seeing that Han Kuisheng is distracted, Han Weiya hands him a ss of water.


    “Dad, this policy is very promising. There is nothing bad with farming. Most of the work is done by agricultural robots and we can get a piece of privatend. I think you can bring some people here. Our Han family can’t leave home for a lifetime. The moonstar is so boring.”


    Han Weiya uses her fingers to count advantages for Han Kuisheng. The elder Han is pleased that his daughter has been so mature. He regards her as an adult and takes her proposal as an equal conversation between adults. He finds it quite impressive.


    It’s a pity that the news is released and the application for the first batch of experimental plot in the reconstruction area has long finished. The news is so unexpected that many forces of the Earth Federation do not prepare for it. The Han family does not upy the quota and others are also not better than it.


    There will only be fewer opportunities for private ownership ofnd like this in the future. Han Kuisheng also feels a little regretful. Even if he can apply, it is meaningless to get a ce far away from Dongting City. Now everyone knows Mount Jun Taoist field and everyone knows that “the fairy” is going to be the resident of Dongting City.


    Han Kuisheng grabs the shovel in his daughter’s hand and digs a hole on the hillside.


    Han Weiya has a sweet smile and nts a small pine tree in the pit which his father has dug. They have been busy until the evening. Pine trees are all nted on this scorchednd. Han Weiya’s dream is to get herself a pine forest. She has been watering and fertilizing them, and her nose is covered with sweat.


    They don’t have to pay for the first batch of saplings, seeds and fertilizers. The Han family is wealthy and Han Weiya hopes that she can nt sessfully the first time.


    The siblings of the Ma family and Colin all have their own test plots. She doesn’t want to lose to her friends!


    It’s getting dark and the Ma’s Vi bes lively again.


    Compared to the quiet Dragon Pce, Ma’s Vi looks warmer. No one will know that Mortal Heart Fairy lives so near to the people of Dongting.


    Ma Yiming and his generation have never nted fields themselves since they were born. The scorchednd is hard. Even with the help of robots, this is still a tougher job than that of farmers before the New Era. If they don’t have a strong body, they really cannot endure this hardship.


    The four young people wash away their sweat and exchange some farming experiences. Lin Luoran smiles and asks them to eat.


    The cucurbit fruit grown in front of the yard tastes a bit sour when it is raw. With a bit of garlic sd, it is crunchy and sour, like pickled cucumber strips. She also cooks water spinach, steamed pork with preserved vegetables, and steamed eggnt with green pepper. These are all some home-made dishes.


    Picky and mean cyan little fox is not here and Lin Luoran’s casual cooking is highly praised. Even Han Weiya and Ma Shuangshuang eat two bowls of rice.


    After eating, the four take the initiative to clean up the dishes. They are about to go back to the room for self-cultivation when Lin Luoran stops them.


    “I’m going to the center of Chuan province in two days and I can’t tell you when I will be back. The Dongting City is all up to you. Contact me if there is an emergency.”


    Colin nods, “Should I go with you?”


    Lin Luoran says no. After Miaoyin Spell Conference, Baojia left quietly. Lin Luoran doesn’t know where she’ll go except for the center of Chuan province.


    Apart from looking for her, Lin Luoran herself also wants to go back to the center of Chuan province.
