Three days later, Lu Cheng was lying on the wooden bed, his mind wandering, and he returned to modern times.
After waking up, he picked up the mobile phone placed on the bedside and looked at it. The time was the early morning of January 23, 2032.
“The days go by so fast, and it’s almost the Spring Festival again in a blink of an eye!”
He looked at the news, and one of them was very eye-catching, saying that China's forest coverage rate has undergone a qualitative change. It has increased significantly in the past five years, from 25.3% to 35.3%!
The news said that when New China was first founded, the forest coverage rate was only 8.6%. It took 70 years to finally increase to 25%. However, in the past five years, earth-shaking changes have occurred, with an increase of 10%. China is a major agricultural country. If you add in the vast farmland and the similarly greatly increased grassland area, the probability of green plants reaches more than 80%.
The news also mentioned that China’s four major sandy lands, including Horqin Sandy Land, Mu Us Sandy Land, Hunshandake Sandy Land and HLBE Sandy Land, have all been transformed into green grassland; Gurban among the eight major deserts The Tungute Desert, Badain Jaran Desert, Kumtag Desert, Kubuqi Desert and Ulan Buh Desert have basically achieved greening; the Taklimakan Desert, Tengger Desert, Qaidam Basin Desert, the desert area is also Shrunk by a third.
After the forest increased, a large number of wild animals appeared, including wild boars, deer, rabbits, foxes, and wolves. The Siberian tiger's activity range extended from the Northeast to NMG, and tigers were also found in inland areas.
As a result, forests that were once easily traversable gradually became dangerous, and farmers living in remote areas began to feel pressure. More and more people are migrating to cities and towns, and militias are organized in villages to constantly patrol the mountains and forests.
Some people have begun to call for changes in wildlife protection policies to allow ordinary people to own shotguns to deal with packs of wolves.
Lu Cheng believed that there were capable people in the government who would listen to the voices of the people and adjust the rules and regulations in a timely manner.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, he quietly stood up and left Qiucheng Garden. He took a step of tens of meters, as light as a feather, fell to the ground silently, and ran towards the west.
Not far to the west is the vast Taihu Lake.
Taihu Lake is 68 kilometers long and 56 kilometers wide.
Lu Cheng took advantage of the darkness to activate the Water Escape Talisman, went more than 20 miles into Taihu Lake, took out two Bixi shells, and let them float on the water.
He took out the golden dagger and cut the larger shell first.
Although the Bixi shell was hard, it could not block the sharpness of the golden dagger. When the dagger fell and cut on the turtle shell, the sound it made was a low "puff" sound, not the sound of a "stick" of metal hitting.
Lu Cheng cut the shell into small pieces about ten feet in size and put them into the jade ring. Such a large piece could not be put into the high-temperature furnace. He would need to cut it again after returning.
There was another Bigui Ke, which was slightly smaller. He didn't dare to attack it directly. Instead, he used Zhanwang Qi Technique to find those pearls.
Unfortunately, the night was dark and there was no moon, so nothing could be seen clearly.
Undeterred, he sat on the turtle shell and breathed.
After waiting for a long time, the white fish belly appeared in the east.
After a while, the sun rose in the east with a brilliant glow.
Under the bright red rays of the sun, Lu Cheng once again used the Zhanwang Qi Technique.
"I saw it, haha, I saw it!"
White spots appeared one after another on the blue Bixi shell! The big ones are like the moon and the small ones are like stars, arranged in rows and dotted.
Lu Cheng quickly used the golden dagger to dig!
"One, two, three..."
In less than a quarter of an hour, he dug out 24 fist-sized beads. When he wanted to dig out those small beads again, it was a pity that the hour had passed and those white stars disappeared!
However, he still remembered the direction of the spots, so he waved his golden dagger, avoiding the spots, and cut the shell into small pieces. This way he won't have to come to Taihu tomorrow.
Returning to Qiucheng Garden, he took out a piece of male crocodile shell, cut it into small pieces, put it into a high-temperature furnace, and tried to make elixirs.
However, it is a pity that the high temperature of 2600 degrees is not enough to refine the spiritual liquid in the Bixi shell! From 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., a full seven hours of practice, the Bixi shell remained the same.
Lu Cheng found the manufacturer's phone number and called it, asking if they had a 5,000-degree high-temperature furnace.
The manufacturer replied: "There is no one with a temperature of 5000 degrees. The highest temperature is only 3600 degrees."
Lu Cheng said: "Then I want two 3600-degree high-temperature furnaces and all supporting equipment."
"May I ask for your address?"
"Please send it to No. XX, Taohuayu, Daicheng."
During dinner, Lu Cheng said to the nanny Zhao Hongshao: "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, I should give you half a month's leave."
Zhao Hongshao was stunned: "I don't need to take a holiday. There is no one at home, so it's very lonely to celebrate the New Year alone."
"Go back and spend time with your parents."
"My mother died of cancer, and my father remarried and had his own family. I didn't want to disturb him."
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "In that case, then come back to Daicheng with us."
The next day, the three of them took the high-speed train to Daicheng.
They first went to Taohuayu and settled Zhao Hongshao.
"You stay here and look after the house. Someone will deliver the goods to your door in the next two days."
"OK."
"Stop cooking tonight."
"knew."
Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun went home to see their parents.
Zhao Hongshao stayed in the villa alone, looking around.
The villa is very spacious, fully equipped with furniture, TV, and very clean.
Zhao Hongshao came to the basement and saw a stone slab two meters in diameter and more than a foot thick in the center.
She felt a little strange: "Why is there a stone slab here? Such a complete piece of stone probably weighs two or three tons. How did it come in from the outside?"
She felt that the owner of the house seemed approachable, but in fact he was extraordinary and eccentric. Not to mention that Lu Cheng asked her to help "make elixirs" by putting bones and herbs in a high-temperature furnace and getting pills. Just say that the hostess Jiang Qiuyun, who is five or six months pregnant, can still eat and drink without vomiting or diarrhea; she can walk and move with light steps; she is calm and natural, neither impatient nor impatient, which is completely different from other pregnant women.
Zhao Hongshao recalled that when she was pregnant, she suffered from chest tightness, anorexia and nausea, vomiting to the point of dizziness, edema of both feet, and difficulty walking.
"Why are there so many differences between people?"
The winter in Daicheng is a bit cold, but there is heating in the house, so life is not difficult.
Taohua Valley is located on the south side of Daishan Mountain. Because the mountains block the cold wind, there is still green in the valley. Especially in the villa that Lu Cheng chose, the green grass in the yard is lusher than elsewhere because of the leakage of spiritual energy.
Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun went home to see their parents, and then returned to Taohuayu to rest in the evening.
In the early morning, Lu Cheng stood in the yard, waiting for the moment when the sun would rise.
It took him two days to dig out 108 small beads.
The so-called "small beads" are actually not small, with a diameter of 3 cm, larger than top-quality pearls. And its gloss is very good, ten times brighter than pearls, it is dazzling and dazzling.
Such a large bead cannot be worn as a necklace because it is too big and looks like a sand monk hanging around the neck. But if you only use one as a pendant, it will still be very beautiful.
Lu Cheng gave Jiang Qiuyun 36 "small beads" and 6 fist-sized beads to her.
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "I don't want so many, just one. You can punch a small hole for me and put it through the green jade necklace to make a pendant."
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Lu Cheng said: "Bi Xi belongs to the dragon species. The big beads are called 'dragon beads', and the small ones are called 'water-avoiding beads'. It is said that these two kinds of beads can avoid water, and you can walk under the water with them, so they are indispensable." What a treasure. Dragon Balls can also make water monsters retreat, so you don’t have to worry about being attacked by electric eels and sharks on the bottom of the sea.”
Hearing what he said, Jiang Qiuyun put the 6 dragon beads and 36 water-proof beads into the storage bracelet, and said with a smile: "In that case, I will help you keep it. Otherwise, you will give it away or take it to the auction house." Sold."
Lu Cheng took out another small bead, pierced it with his own hands, and paired it with emerald jade beads to make a necklace.
Jiang Qiuyun hung the necklace around her neck. It was beautiful and graceful, like a fairy, and she could feel every trace of aura.
She took a photo of herself and posted it in the writer's column of "Mingyue Shuangxi Shui".
Those fans were full of praise after seeing it.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
"Yunji is already as beautiful as a fairy, but now she looks stunning with this necklace!"
"These green beads are so beautiful! Why is the pearl pendant so big?"
"Haha, Yunji is showing off her wealth, but I like it!"
"Guess how much this pearl is worth?"
"If it were auctioned, it would definitely cost hundreds of millions! Did you know that a pearl sold for a sky-high price of 330 million two years ago?"
"I looked at it carefully. The luster of this bead, combined with the emerald and jadeite, is not only indistinguishable, but also has the finishing touch. If the entire necklace is put up for auction, it will be worth at least one billion!"
"Yunji's husband, Lu Cheng, is a billionaire. I heard that the company he controls, 'Lu Ming Fu Dian', will be listed soon. Once it goes public, he will be among the top ten richest people!"
"And, Yun Ji earns a lot of money! This "Mingyue Shuangxi Shui" is the ninth novel she has written! The previous ones have been made into film and television dramas. She is also the winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award! With her personal With your income, can’t you afford a necklace?”
A sharp-eyed female fan suddenly said: "Huh? Yunji's waist has changed. Is she going to be a mother?"
Then someone commented: "It's true! Yunji is pregnant!"
"No way? Even though you're pregnant, you can still maintain a high speed of updating 50,000 words a day?"
"Yunji's update speed is so scary! As an online author, I'm struggling to write 5,000 words a day."
"I deeply suspect that Yun Ji is not writing the book alone, but there is a creative team behind it. Otherwise, how could it be updated at a high speed over the years?"
"Last spring, someone was watching her in Taohuayu. It turned out that she was creating day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep. She barely slept for many days in a row."
"She is pregnant now. She must pay attention to her self-cultivation. She may have to stop having sex soon."
"As a female author, once she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child, she often feels overwhelmed. This is understandable."
"Online creation is a very hard work. Many people sit still for many years, resulting in vertebral strain, sciatica, frozen shoulder, etc. Yunji has been creating at a high speed in the past few years since her debut, and now she has become famous. She Now that we are neither short of money nor famous, what motivation do we have to write? If it were me, I would definitely stop writing!"
At this time, someone else said: "I am a student at Qilu University. As far as I know, Yun Ji is still a doctoral student! Her tutor is Xu Mingze, dean of the School of Liberal Arts of our school. While writing books, Yun Ji also She has to go to class, take exams, and do projects, and she is really a model of motivation and self-improvement!”
Another group of people below sighed.
"That's really not easy."
"Compared to her, I feel ashamed."
"Yes, I specialize in writing, and I update less than 10,000 words every day!"
"Although I don't write books, I don't focus on my studies either. I don't know what I do every day..."
