Chapter 653 - 386: Artificial Little Sun, Rebuilding Li Family Village
[User from Benzi Province]
"The Clear Spring Bamboo Pavilion scene in Li Family Village was so tear-jerking! And that war drum was gorgeous! The volcanic hot spring area in our Hokkaido wants to rebuild its traditional bathhouses. We're requesting technical support from the Celestial Calculation Energy Group! PS: It would be even better if we could bring back the Cherry Blossom Festival (hands together in prayer)."
[User from Gaul Province]
"Surface vineyards! Surface vineyards! @Li Xiang Head Shopkeeper, the lavender fields and wineries of Provence need custom photosynthesis solutions! We're willing to trade wine from our century-old cellars for an allocation of Artificial Little Suns!"
[User from Siberia State]
"They grew watermelons on permafrost?! They're three times bigger than the ones our academy of sciences grew in nuclear fusion greenhouses last year! The Ural Mountains are applying to become an aurora observation and agricultural demonstration base!"
[Representative from Ganges State]
"The once-fertile Ganges Plain has long been a wasteland. We request that Academician Zhao Xueqing's team be sent to guide our ecological restoration! We have three hundred thousand laborers and one hundred thousand planting robots on standby!"
(After Li Xiang became the Master of Earth and the global transportation network was restored, Kanna resigned from her post as the Earth Vein Passage Envoy and returned to her homeland. There, she gathered tens of millions of refugees and established the Ganges State. The Ganges State has six large Underground Cities and several smaller Shelters. Because she was a long-time subordinate of Li Xiang's with a history of meritorious service, the state was smoothly incorporated into Country C. Its development has been flourishing, and it has long since surpassed the other Underground Cities on the South Asian Subcontinent.)
[Alps State]
"We've seen the magnificent views of Li Family Village! It's so beautiful, just like paradise! We strongly recommend building an interstellar ski resort on Jungfrau Peak. An Artificial Little Sun combined with Jiang God's quantum climate regulator could definitely create a 365-day-a-year winter wonderland!"
[Sahara Energy Special Zone]
"Turning the desert into an Oasis is no longer a dream! We have successfully stabilized the sands using a Hive Shield Matrix and are in urgent need of an Artificial Little Sun to build a massive photovoltaic farm! We are willing to supply 90% of the generated power to the Celestial Calculation Energy West China Grid!"
Of course, outside of Country C, there were plenty of netizens with sour grapes. After all, nearly one hundred Underground Cities had not yet been incorporated into Country C.
The citizens of many Underground Cities had barely enough clothes to cover themselves or food to eat. Public order was chaotic, with constant robberies. However, they insisted on self-reliance and were willing to endure hardship, so Li Xiang and Jiang Cai'Er simply left them to their own devices. They were too weak to be worth mentioning, nor were they worth expending too much energy on.

"A few god-like powerful figures fussed around for days and only managed to create one little model village. What kind of skill is that? Planet Dominator Realm, Divine King Realm... is that all you've got? Our Underground Cities, which adhere to 'Free Survivalism,' are the true beacons of human civilization! We refuse to let AI control our lives! ...But speaking of which, @Celestial Calculation Energy, can we pay for our Helium-3 allocation with Bitcoin?"
One user commented, "How can you be so disrespectful to Li God? He's already being generous by not punishing you with some divine miracle, and you still have the gall to dream of trading something as worthless as Bitcoin for precious Helium-3 energy? Are you delusional?"
"Exactly. Times have changed. Forget Bitcoin; even your Old US Dollars are worthless now. Have you even looked at the exchange rate? It takes tens of thousands of US Dollars to get a single Heat Coin. It's too rough to even wipe your ass with."
[United City-States of South Asia]
"Those one hundred thousand planting robots Ganges State is showing off were built by engineers we lost! Does Country C dare to make its cold nuclear fusion technology patent pool public? Oh, and by the way, could you please not be so petty and stop cutting our undersea fiber optic cables all the time? If you're going to talk about global interconnectivity, then play fair! Don't just shut off our network whenever you feel like it!"
[Antarctic Research Autonomous Dominion]
"Our proposal to use Nuclear Fuel Cells to melt ice for water has been blocked by Country C's patent wall for three years! The data we measured is clearly more accurate than City No. 03's... (Screenshot of lab log deleted) Goddess Jiang, could you please re-evaluate joint research proposal No. 0927?"
