The underground base built by Zhang Xiaonian was the same as the previous layout, with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a spacious living and dining room for meetings and meals. Qin Lu moved all the food she bought to the living room and put it down, and immediately after, everyone gathered around Lin Manluo and began to discuss the next plan.
Lin Manluo quickly sorted out a simple version of the plan.
The entire sand break and afforestation project were divided into three stages by her. The first stage was to close and consolidate the existing quicksand. Due to the windy weather these days, the flowing sand in the desert had been driven by the wind and had spread to the vicinity of the farmers’ cultivated land, and some of the cultivated land had even been buried by the sand.
They first had to clear out all the quicksand that invaded the cultivated land, and then fix the quicksand in the distance, which took about 1 day, and their 24 hours means that the exam time would be 24 days later.
The next stage was to build a large-scale sand barrier, which was to be woven into a wall with fences purchased by the mall, turned into a circle to stop the quicksand from continuing forward. This stage was reserved for 2 days and 48 hours, and the exam time was converted to 48 days.
These two stages added up to a period of 72 days.
The third stage was the most important and took the longest. They needed to level the dunes, planted the seedlings purchased in the mall in large areas, and used plants to improve the ecological environment in the area, which took about 4~5 days.
The rest of the time they could observe the project while consolidating the weak points.
The total course exam time was 365 days (they only had 365 hours), so every hour became incredibly precious. After the plan was finalized, Lin Manluo immediately began to assign work.
Zhang Xiaonian and Ke Shaobin were in a group responsible for cleaning up the quicksand near the farmland. Zhang Xiaonian had an excavator, it would be easier to do the cleanup work, and Ke Shaobin could be responsible for scouting and measuring data.
Liu Zhaoqing, Xu Yishen, Zhuo Feng, Xin Yan, Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce, six boys were responsible for large-scale chemical sand fixation. They needed to spread buckets and buckets of asphalt compounds densely on the ground, so that the entire ground formed a hard protective shell to prevent the flow of sand.
The four girls began to weave the fence wall to prepare for the next stage.
After dividing the work, everyone began to work separately.
Zhang Xiaonian and Ke Shaobin were the first to act in the ‘mechanical group’. Zhang Xiaonian drove the excavator and Ke Shaobin took Xiao Tu. Both of them ran to the edge of the farmland, and Ke Shaobin soon let Xiao Tu map radar scan a circle, made a 3D stereoscopic modeling graphic in the computer, Lin Manluo carefully looked at it, and called Jiang Pingce to calculate the data together.
It was finally decided to establish a windproof wall at a position of about 50 meters away from the farmland.
Zhang Xiaonian cleaned up all the quicksand in this range with an excavator, Yue Xingwen began to buy asphalt compounds from the mall. He was the team leader, the ‘special funds’ of this course were in his hands. Every time he clicked on a commodity, the funds would be automatically deducted, and it was very convenient to purchase in this way, at least saving them the trouble of running errands back and forth to buy things.
The area given to them for wind protection and sand fixation was 1 km long.
Yue Xingwen set up a ‘material station’ in the middle, where he put the purchased asphalt, fence, barbed wire and other things here for people to use. He and Jiang Pingce paved from the middle to the front, Liu Zhaoqing and Xu Yishen went to the easternmost end, Zhuo Feng and Xin Yan went to the west, and the three groups began to work at the same time.
Such a large-scale project was replaced by ordinary workers, and it would definitely not be possible to do it in 24 hours.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
However, they had skills in hand. Yue Xingwen’s ‘Fast as Lightning’ team acceleration every 15 minutes had given everyone great convenience, not only allowing everyone to save a lot of time when getting supplies back and forth, but also saving everyone a lot of effort.

Xu Yishen smiled deeply and said, “Thank you.”
Liu Zhaoqing was helpless and said, “You really have a way!”
After discovering this shortcut to ‘transport goods’, Zhuo Feng also said unceremoniously, “I’ll trouble Pingce.”
Jiang Pingce: “En.”
Another 6 barrels of asphalt flew towards the west and landed at Zhuo Feng’s feet.
Yue Xingwen glanced at the iron barrel flying neatly in the air, and said with a smile, “Pingce is really the strongest porter.”
Qin Lu’s handling had a limit on the number of uses, only the floor could be changed. Jiang Pingce’s skills were more flexible, that everyone did not have to run back and forth to move things, directly spread all the way forward, and the efficiency was doubled.
At the same time, several girls were sitting on the ground near the base, making fence walls together. Although Lin Manluo had not made it up herself, she had read some information and vaguely remembered what a fence wall looked like. She tried to make a piece and found it quite similar, so she taught the method to the other three.
Several girls were clever and quickly learned. The fence purchased by the mall was slowly woven into a net by them, and then reinforced and connected with iron wire…
After Zhang Xiaonian cleaned up the quicksand, he drove an excavator and dug a one-kilometer-long trench to build a windproof wall, and Ke Shaobin helped him measure it to prevent the angle from going off.
A group of people were busy.
Although the world was not like ‘Environmental Pollution’ that had sandstorm weather that made them unable to breathe, the impact of the constant sand and wind, still made it very difficult for them to work. Their clothes and hair were covered with sand, and after only two hours of work, everyone was exhausted and panting.
Several girls’ hands were also full of injuries, some were pricked by the fence, some were cut bleeding by iron wires. Lin Manluo typed on the chat channel: “Let’s rest for a while. Senior brother Liu, I want to borrow a little gauze to use.”
Liu Zhaoqing came over, saw the injuries on the hands of several girls, and immediately took out a large roll of gauze and handed it to Lin Manluo, “You guys be careful, just wrap a layer of gauze around your hands later, you won’t hurt your fingers.”
This method was good, Lin Manluo immediately let everyone wrap a thin layer of gauze on the fingers of both hands, fixing it with stitches, like protective gloves.
Yue Xingwen called everyone to drink water and rest, each person stuffed a box of chocolates and asked about the progress, “How is it going?”
Zhuo Feng said, “I’ve finished one third of it on my side, I think.”
Liu Zhaoqing glanced at Xu Yishen and said with a smile, “Our side is faster. Senior brother Xu used mitosis, and five split bodies carry five barrels of asphalt everywhere, currently half completed.”
Yue Xingwen said, “Pingce threw the asphalt barrel directly into the air, flipped it over to do a straight line movement and spilled it all the way over.”
Zhuo Feng shrugged his shoulders helplessly, “You all have special abilities to help, I and Xin Yan can only honestly and slowly lay it.”
Ke Shaobin ran over and said, “Let me help you. Xiao Nian’s pit has been dug, and I have nothing to do now. I can let Xiao Tu drag the asphalt barrel forward, which is much less laborious than holding the barrels in hand and pouring forward step by step.”
Zhuo Feng’s eyes lit up and said, “Yes! I forgot about Xiao Tu, it runs faster than us.”
After a short break, everyone started working again.
Zhang Xiaonian went to the east to help Xu Yishen and Liu Zhaoqing. Ke Shaobin went to the west to help Xin Yan and Zhuo Feng, and this large area in the middle was still left for Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce.
However, Jiang Pingce could top two alone, he could manipulate several barrels in the air movement at the same time. First, the barrel tilted a certain angle, slowly moved forward, just like a person carrying the barrel forward. Yue Xingwen did not even need to move, directly pass the iron barrel to him.
After Ke Shaobin joined the ‘battle’, he immediately doubled the efficiency of Zhuo Feng and Xin Yan’s group—— Xiao Tu ran forward while singing, dragging a barrel behind it, and there was a roller skating under its feet. Xiao Tu could run back and forth in the field in the blink of an eye.
When it was almost dark, the chemical sand fixation work was completed.
It took them only six hours from the start of the work at noon to the final completion.
Looking ahead at a large area of gradually solidifying soil surface, Lin Manluo said in disbelief, “I reserved it for 24 hours, and everyone did it in 6 hours?!”
Yue Xingwen smiled and said, “Senior sister Manluo, you ignored our skills. Although we are an engineering team of 12 people, the efficiency of the actual work is higher than that of 120 people.”
Xu Yishen ran over with mitosis, and said with a smile, “It’s still Pingce and Xiao Tu who do this kind of thing with the least effort. I’m carrying it barrel by barrel, and my hands are almost broken.”
Liu Zhaoqing spat, “You still pretend to be aggrieved. Don’t you also directly use the DNA helix to roll the iron barrel and fly around in the end?”
Xu Yishen coughed lightly and changed the topic, “How is the fence wall on the girls’ side weaved?”
Lin Manluo said, “This is manual work, you can’t you skills”
Yue Xingwen suggested and said, “Let’s help make it up. By the way, I have to trouble chef Xin Yan to prepare a meal for everyone.” He looked at Xin Yan and said with a smile, “I’ll go with you to make distilled water.”
Xin Yan said lightly. “En. What kind of instant noodles would everyone like to eat?”
Ke Shaobin looked at him with some surprise, this was the first time Ke Shaobin heard Xin Yan ask for other people’s opinions…
Liu Zhaoqing said, “I can eat anything else except for the braised beef noodles.”
Xu Yishen raised his hand and said, “I want seafood noodles, thank you!”
Others also reported their own preferences, and Xin Yan said, “Okay, I’ll cook three pots, and I’ll share them with everyone when the time comes.”
Yue Xingwen and Xin Yan returned to the base to make a meal. Ke Shaobin sneaked in, only to see Xin Yan quickly set up the distillation equipment. Yue Xingwen pour rain water into the bottle, and he got three sets of relatively small bottles, took the water, opened a package of instant noodles and put it in.
Ke Shaobin couldn’t help but remind him, “Remember to put the seasoning packet!”
Xin Yan, who was just about to close the lid. “…”
Almost forgot.
Yue Xingwen couldn’t help but smile and said, “It seems that young Ke has a little confidence in Xin Yan’s cooking skills, coming here personally to supervise.”
Ke Shaobin said, “Xin Yan’s hands are more suitable for experiments in the laboratory, and cooking is too difficult for him.”
Xin Yan was silent for a moment. “I’m really not good at cooking.”
Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, “I’m very good at it! Unfortunately, your distillation flask really does not have room for me to play. The braised pork ribs and cola chicken wings I make are particularly delicious.”
Yue Xingwen raised his hand and said, “I agree with this. As a foodie, young Ke has specifically studied how to cook. In the past, our students had a meal together and used to cook by ourselves. Ke Shaobin was a chef and was well received.”
At this moment, Jiang Pingce also followed, looking at the three bottles of noodles being cooked, he said in a low voice, “The fence is almost made, it’s too dark to continue working outside. I suggest everyone rest first and continue tomorrow.”
Yue Xingwen immediately typed on the chat channel: “Everyone go back to the base to rest, let’s end the work for today and have dinner!”
After a busy afternoon, everyone was very tired, even the instant noodles that they don’t usually like to eat, now smell extraordinarily fragrant. Today, the group of four in charge of shopping also bought disposable paper bowls and disposable chopsticks, so they finally don’t have to take Xin Yan’s flask to eat.
Everyone sat around the living room, one person holding a paper bowl, eating different flavors of instant noodles with great pleasure. Even Jiang Pingce, who had always hated this ‘junk food’, did not express any opinion today. He ate noodles quickly, obviously really hungry.
After so many courses, everyone felt very happy to have a bowl of instant noodles to eat.
Under the torture of the library, their requirements really became lower and lower…
Thanks for the chapter
Thanks for the chapter! <3
I really can’t eat instant noodles, it’s always too spicy for me( I will dye in apocalypse
