Siheyuan: At the beginning, I can integrate everything!

Dim yellow.

The entire city of Beijing seemed to be trapped inside a giant earthen pot.

A fierce wind swept up a sky full of yellow sand, obscuring the sun.

The sun had become a pale little dot, and the air was filled with a pungent, earthy smell.

on the street.

Visibility was less than five meters, and even though the streetlights were all on in broad daylight, they could only cast a small, murky halo.

Pedestrians covered their mouths and noses tightly with scarves, bowed their heads, and trudged through the wind and sand with difficulty.

Occasionally a jeep would drive by, its headlights only illuminating an area of ​​two or three meters in front of you.

Traffic throughout the city was almost completely paralyzed.

Future Technology Group, Top Floor Conference Room.

Zhang Huaimin stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking at the apocalyptic scene outside, he frowned slightly.

Behind him, news reports from several mainstream Western media outlets were playing on a large screen.

"...This once-in-a-decade sandstorm has thoroughly exposed the fragile ecological environment of China."

"Experts point out that this harsh environment is simply not suitable for large-scale investment by foreign companies."

"Perhaps, the so-called miracles of 'future technology' will soon be buried by this sandstorm..."

The voices of Western media are tinged with undisguised schadenfreude and malicious smear campaigns.

They attempted to use a natural disaster to halt China's nascent economic take-off.

"Chairman Zhang, this sandstorm is too severe. Several of our logistics transit stations have been forced to shut down."

Yu Li held a report, her face showing some anxiety.

"Furthermore, several European companies that had just reached cooperation agreements have also postponed signing the contracts, citing 'failure to meet environmental assessment standards' as an excuse."

Zhang Huaimin didn't speak. He turned around, and a sharp glint flashed in his deep black eyes.

"Natural disaster? Harsh environment?"

He gave a cold laugh.

"Since they think our sky isn't blue enough, then I'll create a blue sky for them."

Zhang Huaimin picked up the secure phone on the table and dialed the special task force line directly.

"I need to go to the front lines of desertification on the outskirts of Beijing immediately."

"In addition, please assign experts in relevant fields, bring the highest quality sand-fixing grass seeds, and wait for me at the base."

On the other end of the phone, the person in charge of the relevant department was very familiar with Zhang Huaimin's past technological breakthroughs and did not hesitate at all.

"No problem! We'll arrange transportation immediately, and our personnel and supplies will fully cooperate with your work!"

Two hours later.

Northwest of Beijing lies a desertification experimental base most severely affected by wind and sand erosion.

The gale raged even more fiercely here.

Several veteran experts from the Ministry of Forestry, wrapped in thick military overcoats, looked worried.

"The wind is so strong that all the grass checkerboards we planted have been blown away."

"Yes, unless a miracle occurs, this sandy land simply cannot be stabilized!"

Just when the veteran experts were at their wits' end.

"Boom!"

A military helicopter made a forced landing in a sandstorm.

Zhang Huaimin, dressed in a black windproof suit, strode over, escorted by security guard Chen Bing.

"Consultant Zhang!"

When the veteran experts saw Zhang Huaimin, a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts, but doubts still lingered in their eyes.

When it comes to electronic chips, they are completely convinced by Zhang Huaimin.

It can manage deserts and combat sandstorms. This is about transforming nature. How can human beings reverse the status quo in a short period of time?

Zhang Huaimin didn't exchange any more pleasantries.

He walked straight to a woven bag filled with common sand-fixing grass seeds.

Close your eyes.

Consciousness instantly penetrated deep into the system.

"System, activate the ultimate exchange!"

"Redeem: 'Advanced Ecological Carbon Sequestration and Growth-Promoting Properties'!"

"Redeem: 'Ion Air Purification Network Array'!"

[Ding! Target trait detected as belonging to extraterrestrial ecology-level technology.]

[Total Shock Points Required: 500,000!]

[Confirm redemption?]

Five hundred thousand points!

This is the enormous wealth that Zhang Huaimin has accumulated over half a year.

But he didn't even blink.

"confirm!"

[Ding! Exchange successful! Fusion begins!]

Buzz—!

A ripple of emerald green energy, imperceptible to the naked eye, burst forth from Zhang Huaimin's palm in an instant.

It disappeared directly into that bag of ordinary grass seeds.

At the micro level.

The genetic sequences of these grass seeds are undergoing a frenzied recombination and evolution.

Their root systems become as tough as steel bars, making them drought-resistant, wind-resistant, and possessing a strong ability to fix carbon and lock in sand.

"Load all these seeds onto the transport plane," Zhang Huaimin ordered in a deep voice.

"clear!"

Soon, several military transport planes took off, showering these seeds, which had been "modified" by the system, onto the windswept desert pass like rain.

The veteran experts looked at the seeds falling from the sky and shook their heads and sighed.

"Consultant Zhang, this won't work. The wind is so strong, the seeds won't even get into the soil, let alone take root and sprout..."

however.

The old expert hadn't finished speaking.

A truly shocking and chilling scene unfolded!

Those seeds floating in mid-air.

Upon contact with the yellow sand and cold air, it immediately bursts forth with astonishing vitality!

Instead of being swept away by the gale, they pierced deep into the hard frozen soil and shifting sand dunes like miniature bunker busters!

Followed by.

Under the incredulous gaze of the crowd.

Bright new green shoots, defying conventional biological understanding, burst forth from the soil with incredible speed!

Sprouting, growing, spreading!

An inch, a foot, a meter!

In just half an hour, the grass seeds that had just been sown had grown into a lush vegetation that was half a person tall.

The thick, intertwined root system forms an endless iron net, firmly locking in the flowing yellow sand beneath their feet.

Despite the howling wind, the entire vegetation remained completely still.

"This...this growth rate..."

The old expert's eyes widened, and he didn't even notice the notebook in his hand falling to the yellow sand with a "thud".

"It can grow to half a person's height in just one day; it's practically a miraculous plant for stabilizing sand!"

Just as the green Great Wall on the ground was rapidly taking shape.

Zhang Huaimin stood on a high point of the base and suddenly swung his arms into the sky.

"Ion purification network, activated!"

Buzz—!

A blue ion energy network, invisible to the naked eye, rapidly spreads and expands across the entire city from its base in the suburbs of Beijing.

This giant net, covering a vast expanse of airspace, is like a giant air purifier.

Billions of negative ions disperse and precisely capture dust particles suspended in the air.

The flying yellow sand collided with the ion grid, rapidly increasing in weight and condensing.

"Shhh..."

A special kind of mud rain fell from the sky.

The dust that had been flying everywhere settled back onto the earth and was firmly held in place by the newly grown vegetation.

The purified air is refreshing, clear, and invigorating.

Three hours later.

The massive sandstorm that raged for two whole days was completely quelled by this groundbreaking ecological technology.

The sky has once again revealed its clear, sapphire-blue color!

The sky was cloudless and spotless.

Sunlight streamed down, falling on the glazed tiles of the ancient building, reflecting a shimmering golden light.

Inside the command center, staff from various departments stared at the real-time video footage and satellite monitoring images, their excitement barely concealed.

In just a few hours, patches of vegetation grew in the desert, and the sandstorm that had enveloped the city completely dissipated. Such results have completely shattered the traditional understanding of ecological governance.

The claim that "the environment is not suitable for investment," which was previously hyped up by foreign media, has been completely disproven. The relevant person in charge looked at the foreign media reports in his hand with a confident expression.

"We are capable of tackling the most advanced and sophisticated national projects, and we also have the determination and means to overcome the numerous challenges in ecological governance."

At the same moment, at Beijing Capital International Airport.

The special plane, bearing the "UN" logo on its fuselage, came to a smooth stop on the runway.

The hatch slowly opened, and several senior UNESCO officials quickly walked down the gangway.

They held the newly received satellite remote sensing images in their hands, their faces filled with shock.

The before-and-after contrast in the pictures is striking: just hours ago, the desert was covered in yellow sand, but now green waves are rolling across the desert and the sky above the city is clear and blue.

The group of investigators who came to investigate the sandstorm disaster and assess the ecological risks never expected that in just a few hours, this land would undergo an almost mythical transformation.
