"The largest construction site had 250,000 people, but they weren't just planting trees. They were also building roads and villas." Yuanxun 1 explained. "The nationwide villa boom has already begun. Here in the Great Northwest, we're going to build massive oasis villa communities."

Everyone in the emerging industries is making money like crazy, and the traditional industries are following suit. But it's not a big problem."

But the Gobi landscape did not last long. Soon, vast expanses of green began appearing again, looking even more mature and lush.

After flying past several highway construction sites in succession, villa-community construction sites gradually appeared.
It was almost impossible to tell that these villa communities were being built in the desert. Instead, they looked like forest villa communities.
