Chapter 881: Chapter 881: Ji Yang Plans a Major Undertaking
Standing on a hilltop, Ji Yang observed the construction situation in the entire Nanping City, with some new thoughts forming in his mind.
If he hadn’t been to the Cultivation Realm, he wouldn’t have been so clear about the situation in the Milky Way. Only after visiting did he realize that the Milky Way isn’t a safe place either. There are many technologically advanced races, and if another race discovers Earth’s existence and initiates interstellar warfare, humans on Earth would hardly be their match.
Of course, if he were to take action, he could undoubtedly defeat those races. However, he couldn’t always be there to defend Earth, humans need their own means of protection.
Besides, Ji Yang had learned so much. If he didn’t put it to use, he felt he would be letting down his own accumulation of experience.
Using his Divine Sense, he scanned the surroundings but did not find a large enough place.
After thinking for a while, an idea popped into his mind.
He took out his phone and dialed Xu Mingzhi’s number.
Xu Mingzhi was now pretty much the liaison between Ji Yang and the authorities. The higher-ups found it somewhat tricky to manage Ji Yang, so whenever there was anything, it was communicated through Xu Mingzhi.
Receiving Ji Yang’s call, Xu Mingzhi was unsure of his purpose.
Of course, both the higher-ups and Xu Mingzhi held Ji Yang in great reverence. He was no ordinary person.
“Secretary Ji, is there something you need me to do?”
Xu Mingzhi was very polite.
“Leader, there is something. You know my capabilities. I want to test a Formation. Nanping is a bit small for this. Our country has vast desert areas, could you allocate a piece of desert for me to use for experiments?”
“Desert?” Xu Mingzhi didn’t expect Ji Yang to request a desert.
Although the country does have some secret projects in certain deserts, they aren’t very large. Currently, many areas in the country are facing serious desertification problems, making desert management a difficult task. Now Ji Yang actually wanted to do something with it.
“I’ll report this to the higher-ups and see their attitude.”
“Alright.”
After the call, Ji Yang started contemplating.
In Nanping, it’s entirely feasible to set up a Transmission Formation. Short-distance teleportation only needs to harness the power of the earth’s ley lines, without even using a Spirit Energy Block.
Of course, incorporating a Spirit Energy Block would allow it to operate for a very long time.
The next step could involve some advanced technological equipment, anyway, there would be absolutely no problems in terms of transportation.
Xu Mingzhi returned the call quickly. By the next day, he called back.
“Secretary Ji, do you really want to develop the desert?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm, currently the desert areas of our country are expanding rapidly. Although some success has been achieved in combating desertification, overall, the results aren’t very satisfactory. You know the largest Taklamakan Desert; despite major investments and the construction of a road, the effects are still mediocre. Since you’re willing to try, the higher-ups suggest seeing what you can do. They’re allocating a hundred thousand square kilometers for you to take responsibility for. Are you planning to work inside the area or beginning with regions that connect to the city?”
Ji Yang caught on to the hint; it’s best to start from the inside.
“It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll start from the very center.”
“In that case, the region will be assigned to Nanping City, designated as the Desert Zone. How does that sound?”
“I have no problem with that.”
“By the way, managing this on both ends, would it be convenient for you?”
“I’ll set up a Transmission Formation.”
“Ah…” Xu Mingzhi exclaimed in surprise; he truly hadn’t expected this.
