Chapter 600: Two Hundred Years of Development and... Departure!
Just like that, after the report was completed, one person and one cat left the Immortal Palace.
Working diligently and achieving many things without wasting any time is the best reward for oneself!
.
The Green Grass City of today has changed significantly compared to two hundred years ago!
The most notable change is that the city's area has once again expanded.
To accommodate a larger population, Green Grass City is now divided into 4 layers... whereas there were only 3 layers before.
Don't underestimate the additional bottom layer; its area alone covers 360 square kilometers, providing a more spacious living environment for city residents.
With a population of six million five hundred thousand, it is a veritable metropolis, even in the context of the Great Dong Country of the past.
Standing on the topmost layer and looking down, what catches the eye is an endless expanse of green.
The entire city seems to be floating above an emerald ocean.
Vines of all sizes wind their way around the surfaces of skyscrapers, filled with vibrant green vegetation on the rooftops, and ancient stone walls are covered with opioid tree vines.
Flowers bloom one after another, gently swaying in the breeze.
Humans have introduced a mutated plant known as "Golden Rainbow Vine."
The flowers of this vine have a very long blooming season, and the fruits it bears are nutritious and sweet-tasting, while the vines and leaves are perfect for feeding herbivores.
The only downside is its relatively low reproductive capacity, but the emergence of the Spirit Plant Field has already remedied this defect—Green Grass City now boasts over six hundred "Spirit Plant Fields," nearly covering the entire city!
Even the skins of the monorail trains are green, with their headlights flickering like little fireflies as they come and go.
Pedestrians stroll the streets, many wearing beautiful Green Grass Clothing, with birds chirping, fountains murmuring, flags fluttering, and spaceships weaving through.
The neon screens display colorful advertisements, the Civilization Guardians, and the Mirage Cloud Dragon slumbers above the small cave.
"There's not much difference from the Green Grass City of the last Epoch, is there?" Old Cat sighed.
Miss Conch came running to join them and enjoy the scenery, suddenly claiming, "I think we might already be stronger than the Green Grass Civilization."
"Really? Even you say so?" Lu Yuan laughed.
Although she was born in the last Epoch, her affection for the Green Grass Civilization is not profound.
Instead, she feels more affection for the humans she helped nurture.
"It's a fact, not just empty talk," Miss Conch replied.
Achieving this, Lu Yuan did not feel particularly excited; rather, it felt like a natural progression.
At the city's edge, construction teams are installing a large protective device called the "Yake Shield."
This shield resembles a plastic board and is produced at the Materialism factory, inexpensive but providing thermal insulation, radiation resistance, and anti-hit functions.
When the entire city's "Yake Shield" is activated, it becomes a colossal spaceship.
This large city possesses the ability to traverse the void. This is also why humans plant so many plants; building a large-scale ecosystem is not easy.
And on the fourth layer, the bottommost layer, lies a large anti-gravity device, resembling a gigantic circular ring.
It provides propulsion in outer space.
This is a genuine Level Four Idealism Technology... However, the consumption is a bit high, as each activation of the anti-gravity costs a starting price of 2.4 civilization points, and even humans with ten thousand points find it hard to afford.
In summary, a home created by one's own hands is always delightful to the eyes.
Miss Conch, holding Lu Yuan's hand, smiled and said, "When do you plan to set off?"
Lu Yuan replied, "Although we can traverse the void, the expenses are too high; it might cost 100 points for the journey."
"So, it's better to rely on the spatial transfer of the [Monster]."
"According to Jin Bote's description, the [Monster] has stayed here too long and might leave this place in 3 years. By then, we can hitch a ride."
Old Cat nodded, "Three years, huh..."
"That sounds good; after dealing with matters in the Northern Territory, we'll officially set off!"
...
...
The snowstorms in the Northern Territory always come and go in a rush...
It's another year of harvest.
Not far from the Trading Market, the Snow Sheep Clan is in the midst of a "shearing" operation.
Thick wool falls off like snowflakes, revealing the tender skin underneath.
This fluffy wool has excellent warmth retention, making it a high-quality, best-selling product.
After shearing, the individual Snow Sheep appear much slimmer, wearing carbon nano clothes for warmth.
The Snow Sheep Clan values their reputation highly.
"The lower quality wool, we'll keep for making our clothes or sell at a lower price."
"Only the finest wool will be sold at the Trading Market. Never compromise on quality."
"It took two hundred years for our clan to build such a customer base, but losing it could happen in a day if we lose our reputation."
An elderly Snow Sheep person is patiently advising the young ones, sharing stories: "In the past, the Yak Clan was our competitor, and their fur was quite good too."
"But they were accustomed to being rough and always assumed their trading partners would tolerate it."
"Who would have thought, they were taken to court, and the other party presented solid evidence!"
"And guess what... The Yak Clan, although stronger than us, found everyone turning against them instantly, fined heavily, and their business plummeted."
