"So it was made using Transcription Fluid!" a journalist exclaimed, covering their mouth in shock.

Such extravagance.

"That makes sense. Undiluted Transcription Fluid is far more expensive than gold. Three parts per million—essentially, one ton of this solution requires three grams of undiluted Transcription Fluid."

"It feels like we’re throwing money away!"

"Agreed."

"Fifteen per square meter suddenly seems a lot more reasonable."

"Throwing gold onto the ground—how could that not make sense?"

"..."

The awe subsided.

The live broadcast continued.

The bridge kept sliding forward, quickly passing through the blue zone and arriving at an area with grass.

"What you are seeing now is the condition of the soil after a normal year. At this stage, the soil has gained some adhesion but has yet to achieve the properties of high-bond soil."

"With just a little effort, you can pull the grass out by the roots," explained Shen Yu.

After he finished speaking.

Someone couldn’t wait and reached out their hand.

Academician Ma grabbed a tuft of grass.

With a little force, he pulled it out, along with its roots. Unlike sandy soil, the root system had clumps of soil attached to it—indicating the soil had developed some root-binding capability.

But it’s still not enough.

It has not yet reached true clay-like properties.

Shen Yu added, "After another year, the root-binding capacity will improve and it will be much harder to pull them out by the roots. Under the three-year transformation standard, the soil will fully achieve clay-like indices by the end of the term."

"Does this need frequent watering?"

"Yes, but the biological gel slows the water evaporation from the soil. Different soil types have different requirements. The looser the soil, the more frequent the watering—every three to five days."

"It seems this would consume a lot of freshwater."

"No," Shen Yu shook his head.

"???"

"Our solution doesn’t necessarily require freshwater irrigation. Even seawater that’s simply treated will do. In fact, we can manage with pure seawater irrigation."

As he was speaking.

Without waiting for further questions.

Shen Yu pointed in a direction.

"Take a look."

Following his gaze.

Near the grass bordering the shrub area, they spotted a peculiar grass-like plant.

"What is this?" The journalist zoomed the camera lens closer.

The scientists jogged over.

Upon closer inspection.

They recognized it.

"This is a fairly common salt-absorbing plant. Many of you may have researched it before. With these plants, we can absorb the salt in the soil and effectively improve soil alkalinity and acidity levels."

"That makes sense."

"Could you explain further?" a journalist nearby asked.

"Most plants cannot grow in seawater because of osmotic pressure. They cannot prevent water from being drawn out by the surrounding seawater, leading to dehydration—which is similar to why humans get dehydrated drinking seawater."

"But some plants can resist or utilize this process, and some are even able to absorb salt."

"This type of plant is one of the more common salt-absorbing varieties. If planted extensively, it can help improve the saline and alkaline qualities of the soil. Previously, it was only tested in a small range, proving to be highly effective."

"..."

The scientists explained the purpose of salt-absorbing plants to the journalists. If seawater irrigation becomes viable, previous concerns about water shortages would no longer arise.

As long as a country has a coastline.

Transformation is possible.

It’s simply incredible.

"If we consider full seawater irrigation, we would need to plant these types of plants first, before moving on to planting trees. Of course, there are also salt-resistant tree species and salt-resistant crops available—a wide variety to choose from."

Pointing toward another area of shrubs and crops.

Shen Yu said.

"What you see here are tree species and plants that are not salt-resistant. It’s up to the scientists here to work hard and develop more salt-resistant crops, like sea water rice or sea water wheat."

At that.

The scientists present grew interested.

Not all countries have sufficient freshwater resources. Under these circumstances, many nations would undoubtedly choose seawater irrigation. This makes it an opportunity worth exploring—they weren’t just here to observe.

There could be chances to collaborate.

All of a sudden.

A wave of enthusiasm spread.

"Years ago, I tackled a sea water wheat project. I didn’t expect it to find an application so soon," a Danish scientist said excitedly, relieved that his technological advances wouldn’t just sit unused.

"I also have a project on sea water green peppers—it’s nearing maturity."

"I have one too..."

One scientist’s statement led to another, causing a lively commotion on-site.

To each their own expertise.

Sometimes.

They surprise even themselves with the valuable progress made in their fields. Many were funded by national investments and mostly focused on strategic research, where technologies often waited decades—or never—for practical application.

But when the moment comes.

They can immediately create value.

Twenty minutes later.

Visiting the experimental facility ended.

The journalists left satisfied, though the scientists hesitated to depart. Seeing this, Shen Yu didn’t rush them away and instead allowed them two more hours, permitting them to take samples back.

Upon hearing this.

No one held back.

They were like a group of elderly bears gleefully plucking grass, snapping branches, and collecting materials.

...

Meanwhile.

The outside world was abuzz.

At that moment.

Daylight had just arrived in Western countries. Seeing the news, they were bewildered—after just one night’s sleep, was their worldview being overturned? This miraculous company solved the desert issue?

"Myanmar Environmental Technology Company Develops Revolutionary Product ’Oasis’ to Transform Human Living Environments."

"Desertification—About to End!"

"After ’Oasis,’ Global Food Dynamics Expected to Shuffle!"

"Shares Surge by 21 Percent—Myanmar Environmental Technology Company’s Market Value Crosses $340 Billion, Entering Global Top Ten Corporate Valuations. Will It Hit New Highs Tomorrow?"

"..."

News coverage everywhere—it was impossible not to notice. However, people in Europe and America, where desertification isn’t a large-scale issue affecting human survival, mostly marveled at the innovation but considered it less directly relevant.

They even treated deserts as tourist attractions or unique landscapes.

So.

They felt admiration for the achievement.

But for others.

Water-scarce and desert-ridden nations were thrilled.

Saudi Arabia.

Capital Riyadh.

The royal family was holding an early-morning meeting regarding agricultural safety. Some days prior, Ayman had declared ambitious plans to invest in agriculture, regardless of cost, earning unanimous praise.

And commendations.

The hope was for other members to learn from this.

As a prince, he must take responsibility for Saudi Arabia’s future.

Just as the meeting was about to end.

The Secretary approached quietly.

"What? Are you serious?" The King exclaimed.

"Yes."

"Show me."

"Understood."

The Secretary then turned on the large TV on the wall.

The screen displayed Shen Yu’s press conference replay, already translated into Arabic. After watching the footage, the attendees were overwhelmed—Saudi Arabia could finally envision grasslands in their territory.

The price also seemed reasonable.

As Shen Yu had stated, Saudi Arabia simply hoped to increase greenery around its populated areas to curb farmland desertification. With millions of square kilometers of desert and Gobi, they couldn’t transform it all.

Ten percent.

No more than that.

More—who would even live there?

And even at ten percent, this amount would already secure Saudi Arabia’s fundamental food supply.

With seawater irrigation possible.

They were ecstatic.

"Excellent, our centuries-old hope can finally come true."

"Do you believe in that eight percent profit margin?"

"Does belief matter? If Transcription Fluid is used, it’s impossible for the price to be low."

"True."

"By the way, should we follow India’s lead and temporarily allow clinical trials of Transcription Fluid? Many patients return healthier, and if this works, it might attract tourists."

"Exactly, it’d be just like how they leveraged patients over there to draw visitors."

"Will the United States agree, though?"

"...Troubling."

"Forget about that for now—our priority is ’Oasis.’"

"..."

In just fifteen minutes.

They reached a consensus to try transforming one thousand square kilometers, and immediately placed an order with a prepayment requirement of thirty percent. Known for their financial heft, Saudi Arabia swiftly approved the $225 million.
