Three months, a season. A quarter of a year. For some who achieve nothing, these three months might accomplish nothing. But it was precisely these three months that completely doubled Dragon Country's presence in the dinosaur world.
During these three months, a large batch of companies selected by Dragon Country had dispatched all their core personnel. The number of Dragon Country citizens in the dinosaur world had reached five million, and three major cities had begun to take shape. These three cities, with their nascent structures, were Lianglong City, Sanjiaolong City, and Canglong City.
Canglong City was the location of the portal and the headquarters of the Otherworld Development Department. The name Canglong City also signified the importance of this city to the dinosaur world. When the name for the city was solicited, different people had different opinions. But when Su Han proposed the name Canglong City, it was met with unanimous agreement. After all, it was by resolving a plesiosaur in the dinosaur world that the main quest of this dinosaur world was completed.
In these three cities, which were already taking shape, the population was not particularly large, as more people resided at construction sites across the dinosaur world. A super-large construction site might house tens of thousands of people.
Lianglong City, Sanjiaolong City, and Canglong City were, naturally, connected by roads and railways.
Several of the other seven cities under construction also began construction after being connected by railways, while some started after being connected by roads. One city, named Yishoulong City, commenced construction immediately after equipment was transported there by airplane.
Yishoulong City was located on the most suitable plains for growing grain in the entire dinosaur world. However, it was too far from the portal. Yishoulong City was on another continent, separated from the continent with the portal by tens of thousands of miles of ocean. Railways and roads had not even reached the coast, let alone another continent. Therefore, they decided to transport a large amount of equipment by airplane and then begin development. The primary reason was Dragon Country's desperate need for food.
The construction of Yishoulong City primarily involved assembling prefabricated housing to create living quarters, after which cultivation began directly on the plains.
The process was standard: drive away medium to large dinosaurs, set up high-voltage power lines, then transform the plains into farmland and begin planting.
Dragon Country's relevant experts all agreed that the plains were excellent and highly suitable for grain cultivation.
Consequently, after Dragon Country began planting, the growth of grain crops was exceptionally good.
Within these three months, the first batch of grain planted by Dragon Country in the dinosaur world was ready for harvest.
The grain harvest took place on the plains where Lianglong City was located. The plains of Lianglong City were the closest to the portal, hence this area was named Lianglong Plain. After the portal was stabilized, Dragon Country began developing this plain. Through continuous development, 4.5 million mu of arable land had been cultivated. Planting and land development proceeded concurrently. Only after a portion of the land was developed could planting commence. Thus, the first harvest was not from the entire 4.5 million mu, but from 100,000 mu.
The harvest of the first batch of grain in the dinosaur world attracted a large crowd to witness the event.
For this occasion, the Otherworld Development Department even organized a harvesting ceremony. The first crops harvested were corn.
Beside the corn, there was a large field of wheat nearing maturity. Rice, however, would require another twenty-odd days before it could be harvested.
At this harvesting ceremony, relevant leaders from Dragon Country's highest authorities delivered passionate speeches. They then went down into the cornfield, picked a few ears of corn, and brought them back to a ceremonial plate for everyone to see. Following this, large corn harvesters entered the field to begin the harvest.
Jin Kangping was an ordinary construction worker from Dragon Country. He had the fortune to be selected to participate in the construction in the dinosaur world. Today, Jin Kangping happened to be on his day off. Hearing about the upcoming harvest ceremony, he arrived early.
Jin Kangping had dormitory accommodations in Lianglong City, but he spent most of his time living at the construction site. His job was to reclaim the Lianglong Plain. A while ago, after finally completing the reclamation of the entire Lianglong Plain, he had a rare holiday. While reclaiming the Lianglong Plain, he had watched Dragon Country's agricultural experts plant the first seeds. In the following days, he saw sprouts emerge from the ground, watched the crops turn green, grow tall, and flower.
Now, witnessing the beginning of the harvest of the first batch of grain on Lianglong Plain, tears welled up in Jin Kangping's eyes.
Many construction workers observing beside the cornfield also shed tears. These were tears of excitement. Many of them, like Jin Kangping, had contributed their efforts to the reclamation of Lianglong Plain. Now, seeing the successful harvest, they were naturally moved.
"This is great, a bountiful harvest!"
"We'll have corn to eat from now on."
"My family will also eat corn."
"Not just corn, but also rice and wheat. We'll have rice and wheat in the future too."
"It seems these grains will soon reach Dragon Country's mainland. Then my parents and children will also be able to eat this corn."
"..."
Hope grew even more vigorously in their hearts at this moment.
On Dragon Country's mainland, Blue Star, they had despaired, believing that Blue Star would be destroyed in the future. It was only after they came to the dinosaur world that their despair was swept away, replaced by hope. Their hard work in the dinosaur world, watching the crops grow day by day, further amplified their hope.
Drones ascended into the sky, capturing the scene of the corn harvest. This footage was then disseminated throughout the dinosaur world via the newly constructed 5G network.
Dragon Country's three major telecommunications operators and Yuanyuan Weiyuan Communications Company began extensive network construction after entering the dinosaur world. Eventually, 5G networks were established in Lianglong City, Sanjiaolong City, Canglong City, and their surrounding areas. Of course, if one was too far from these three cities, they would not receive the 5G signal. The internal communication website for the dinosaur world was also upgraded, with several large servers and supercomputers installed within the dinosaur world. Thus, the dinosaur world's internal communication website was now capable of uploading videos. Additionally, the dinosaur world's internal communication website specifically launched a "Little Dinosaur App." This app enabled video calling.
As long as one was within the 5G signal coverage, video calls could be made using the Little Dinosaur App. To safeguard the secrets of the dinosaur world, social apps from Dragon Country's mainland were not introduced. Therefore, people in the dinosaur world used the Little Dinosaur App on their satellite phones.
