On Planet Haierfa, at the Base of Operations, Chen Jin could clearly feel that the air quality had improved. The dust and sand that hovered across the sky had significantly thinned out. In windless days, one could occasionally see a speck of the blue sky during the day or the stars at night. The air wasn't so dry anymore. There would be light rain in every so often, and the air humidity would increase significantly.
However, they would not have to worry about water accumulating at the Base of Operations. Earlier during construction, Alice had considered drainage issues and had dug a 50-acre lake at the middle of the base. As of that moment, the lake was still dry. Excessive evaporation rates made it impossible for the lake to contain water.
Chen Jin was very surprised. The environmental transformation plan was only executed for little more than a year, and yet its effects were so evident.
