My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 505: Chapter 331: Saint Tier! ”Void Divine Travel: Celestial Star Orbit

The chill of early spring lingered, a fickle warmth that came and went. The Northeast, in particular, remained a world of ice and snow.

The Songhua River.

Spring ice dams had blocked the river, causing an ice flood. In the Hacheng section, this year’s ice dam was exceptionally high, breaking historical records to reach an alarming 15 meters.

Fortunately, Luo Feifei and her Water-Inference Ice Element were on site.

Li Xiang constructed a ”magma channel” in the Jiamusi section of the riverbed, drawing upon an ”Earth Vein Furnace” from deep within the earth. It released billowing heat to melt the ice sheet, while Luo Feifei used her Ice Superpower to precisely control the timing of the ice shelf’s fracture.

Next, Li Xiang used his Earth Superpower to widen the Qiqihar-Tongjiang section of the river from 300 meters to 600 meters. He also optimized the gradient to 0.8‰, accelerating the flow of the floating ice downstream.

This series of masterful moves completely eliminated the threat of the ice flood, extended the winter ice tourism season by forty days, and the cold water resources helped establish Asia’s largest cold chain logistics base along the banks.

...

The Tarim River, the Sea of Death.

The challenge here was that its middle and lower reaches had been dry for over thirty years, and its terminal lake, Taitama Lake, had dried up, causing vast swathes of poplar trees to die off.

Using his Otherworldly Warehouse, Li Xiang transferred 20 billion cubic meters of water from Southern Tibet into the riverbed, while simultaneously constructing an ”Underground Crystal Vein Reservoir” at the Aksu section to store water.

Zhao Xueqing, meanwhile, activated the ”Ancient Gene” within the poplar seeds, allowing their root systems to delve 200 meters underground to draw water. Jiang Cai’Er’s plan included a ”Smart Drip Irrigation Grid” that could achieve 95% water conservation efficiency.

The ”Sandhill Solidification” was particularly noteworthy.

Li Xiang used Star Meteor Flowing Sand to compress the shifting sand dunes into sandstone platforms. Of course, this was just simple compression to make the dunes more solid and compact, not to the level of creating hundred-ton grains of Star Sand. That would have been too time-consuming and impractical.

Then, he transported the silt dredged from other water systems and ”shook” it out onto the sandstone platforms, forming a soil layer three to five meters thick. Zhao Xueqing then led the ecological restoration task force in planting various types of vegetation, creating oases.

Previously, Li Xiang had stored 100,000 tons of sand from the Yellow River to condense into ”Star Sand,” but for convenience, he had dumped the rest into the depths of the Pacific Ocean. This was because the sand from the Yellow River was too fine and smooth to be of much use. However, the silt from other water systems—like the Yangtze River, Qiantang River, Fuchun River, Gan River, Pearl River, Heilongjiang River, Huangpu River, Tai Lake, Dongting Lake, and Poyang Lake—was almost all rich in organic matter, making it exceptionally fertile soil. It would have been a terrible waste to throw it all away. So, after an expert proposed the idea and it was discussed by the group, they decided to transport it to the great northwest for sand stabilization.

Turning desert into an oasis was nothing short of a miracle.

After these operations, the waters of Taitama Lake were restored to their 1970s levels, an additional 300,000-plus square kilometers of oases were created, and the Taklamakan Desert vanished completely.

Eight other deserts vanished as well, such as the Gurbantünggüt Desert, the Badain Jaran Desert, the Tengger Desert, and the Kumtag Desert.

...

Dust clouds blotted out the sky between the gullies of the Loess Plateau. Li Xiang’s Giant Whale Saint Armor refracted a cold, blue light under the harsh sun.

An earth-yellow ripple spread out, radiating from him in all directions. On the distant horizon, a continuous, ring-shaped mountain range suddenly rose. The rumbling sound startled herds of wild camels, sending them fleeing in panic.

In the middle, a massive reservoir had formed, about a hundred meters deep at the center, with shallow areas (
