Wilderness.
The ground was quickly coated with a layer of blue solution.
Sticky and tacky.
The sandy soil beneath was faintly visible.
Dong Shi couldn't help but worry that a few gusts of wind might dry it out, not to mention the blazing sunlight of the desert. But then he remembered He Benshan's explanation: this solution has an extremely low evaporation rate under high temperatures.
"Has it always been this solution for the past three years?" Dong Shi asked.
"No. It changes every month. We adjust the concentration, minerals, and microorganism types to suit the soil's needs, changes in texture, and its capability to sustain growth,"
He Benshan explained.
"So complex."
"It is, somewhat. Even in deserts, the formula varies. Depending on the soil texture, climate, and whether the area consists of compacted sand, adjustments need to be made accordingly."
Truth be told.
When he first saw a three-hundred-page operation manual.
He Benshan felt overwhelmed.
