I Have A Dual World Seal

The chaos or lack thereof doesn’t really have much to do with Lu Zheng. To put it simply, it’s best if he doesn’t get exposed, but even if he does, it’s not a big deal.

He doesn’t take the initiative to cause trouble; he conceals himself, not because he’s afraid of getting hurt, but because he’s worried about having too much impact on the hearts of the people.

This is also why, in many novels, various high-level figures don’t reveal their identities. They don’t want the world order to fall apart.

"Alright, this is pretty good!"

Lu Zheng also doesn’t want his existence to be discovered by Western politicians and capitalists. Who knows what could happen if they knew he was from Hua Country.

Evidently, those in charge don’t want that to happen either, so they helped cover for Lu Zheng and also provided some explanations to Lin Wan.

Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "It’s only polite to return a favor, right? Since they’re being so courteous, shouldn’t we express our gratitude?"

Truth be told, ever since the Ancient Culture Research and Analysis Archival Room found out about Lu Zheng and his group’s identities, they’ve not only never bothered them but have also helped their parents advance in their work and social circles.

The way they inquired about and mobilized Lin Wan during the Pharaoh Country affair was also very tactful, and afterward, they even helped cover for Lu Zheng.

The Ancient Culture Research and Analysis Archival Room has done such a thorough job that Lu Zheng decided to reciprocate their kindness.

Lu Zheng wanted to express something, and Lin Wan was also quite happy, "How do we do that?"

Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "I don’t know, do they need anything? How about we build a few more islands in the South Sea?"

Lin Wan almost burst out laughing, "Aren’t you afraid of exposing yourself too soon? With the Celestial Whale there, they don’t need you to build islands."

"Wouldn’t it be cheaper if I did it?"

Lu Zheng shrugged, "Then I don’t know what they need. Should I take a trip to Japan and make the Reagan immobilized?"

"They don’t need you for that Reagan either. According to internal sources, the Reagan’s nuclear reactor is already having issues," Lin Wan shook her head again. "If you really want to do something, I actually have a project here that would really save them some money."

"What project?" Lu Zheng asked.

"Have you heard about the Red Chess River project?"

Lu Zheng blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "I’ve heard of the Red Chess Channel project."

"Hmm..."

Lin Wan thought for a moment and decided to start from the beginning.

"Do you know about Zangnan Motuo?"

"Of course, I do. Our territory south of the Himalayas is most famous for its difficult roads. With our current infrastructure capabilities, it was only in recent years that we completed the Motuo Road, and it still can’t be open all year round."

"Exactly." Lin Wan nodded, "Then we’re planning to build a hydropower station there with an annual power output equivalent to three Three Gorges Dams."

"What?" Lu Zheng was taken aback.

"We’re planning to build the Motuo Hydropower Station at the great bend of the Yarlung Zangbo River in Southern Tibet."

Lin Wan continued, "Then, we’ll divert water from the reservoir of the hydropower station, loop around the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, pass the Hengduan Mountain Range into Shu, and then use existing water systems as channels, entering Qin and Gansu, then split into two tributaries to the northern part of Qin Province and the northern part of Gansu Province. The main riverway extends all the way to the westernmost part of Jiang Province in the Kashgar Region."

After simulating this waterway in his mind on a map, Lu Zheng could only blurt out two words, "Holy shit!"

"The estimated cost is four trillion, and the total length of the constructed waterway is over 6,000 kilometers. The estimated annual water diversion can reach 60 billion cubic meters, equivalent to an additional Yellow River. It can generate two hundred million acres of fertile land and a 200,000-square-kilometer oasis along the river in Jiang Province, and it adds a new water transport route south of the desert in Jiang Province."

"That’s quite a move!" Lu Zheng praised, "A new Grand Canal for the new century?"

"In terms of length and construction difficulty, the Red Chess River is much more challenging than the Grand Canal," Lin Wan shook her head. "Especially with the complex terrain in the Hengduan Mountain Range; even though we’re using existing waterways, the entire project is still under research."

At this point, Lin Wan said, "However, the Motuo Hydropower Station is definitely going to be built. The groundwork has already started."

"The Yarlung Zangbo River, huh..."

Lu Zheng nodded and couldn’t help but laugh, "Hasn’t Country A protested?"

After all, the upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River are within Hua Country’s borders, but once it flows out of Zang Province, the lower reaches become the Ganges Plain of Country A!

Building a hydropower station upstream is just like putting a knife at Country A’s throat, isn’t it?

Although Hua Country has always been benevolent, even if the knife is at your throat, it will never actually cut. But can Country A really feel at ease?

Lin Wan snorted, "Of course they protested, but if the Motuo Hydropower Station is built, every year it can save over a hundred million tons of coal or sixty million tons of petroleum, making a great contribution to the environmental protection and carbon neutrality efforts of all mankind."

Oh man! Lu Zheng simply marveled!

Wielding the moral high ground with a stick to point fingers, huh?

Stacking up BUFFs! Golden Body Protection!

"I can’t do much about the Motuo Hydropower Station. Are you suggesting I help excavate this Red Chess River that loops around the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?" Lu Zheng asked.

Lin Wan playfully nodded, "Aren’t you eager to save them money? Four trillion, think of all the things you could do with those savings."

Lu Zheng was at a loss for words, "You’re really one of the public servants. This is really repaying a drop of water with a gushing spring..."

Lin Wan laughed and snuggled into Lu Zheng’s arms, "This isn’t just for them but for our compatriots. Strictly speaking, it’s similar to the nature of what we’re doing with rain in the Southwest and controlling the Three Rivers’ floods."

"This is no small workload." Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "Hengduan Mountain Range, crossing Qinling, extending to Qilian, crossing the great desert..."

Lu Zheng sighed, "Luckily, I learned the Taiyue Divine Mountain Painting before. Otherwise, I’m not sure I could pull off this project."

Lin Wan smiled joyfully, "You agreed?"

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "As the ancient saying goes, ’When impoverished, maintain personal integrity; when successful, share prosperity with the world.’ I now have three thousand years of Dao Practice, fixing a river is a small task!"

"I have to say, having a mutual understanding with the authorities has greatly expanded my scope of action, so I don’t always have to worry about impacting the world too much and being overly cautious." Lu Zheng laughed.

"You’re amazing!"

"How amazing?"

"Rogue!"

...

"Go ask Xiao Yuya for a research report on the Red Chess River; I need to know all the important nodes planned for this canal."

"Also, before the diversion, they’ll have to figure out how to conceal the suddenly appearing river channels themselves."

"The Motuo Hydropower Station is a ten-year project, and I can’t wait that long. Before the hydropower station is completed, I’ll find a spot and create a tributary for the Yarlung Zangbo River.

When the hydropower station is done, if they want to modify the source, they can figure it out themselves. I reckon they can manage by then too."

"Carving mountains and redirecting rivers, wow, a 6,000-kilometer Grand Canal, creating another Yellow River, I can’t help getting excited!"

Lu Zheng excitedly rubbed his hands, "That’s a big project! It can’t be done in just a month; I’ll aim to finish it within two months!"

Lin Wan: w(°o°)w
