In an office managing construction projects on South Island, two staff members basked in the bright sunlight and refreshing air.
They could read newspapers from two days ago and listen to the radio. The electricity supply on the island had stabilized enough for electric lights and fans to be used at will.
Frankly, the air quality here was indeed better than that of the Great Tang Empire. One reason was the lack of large-scale industry, and another was the sea breeze whisking away unpleasant odors.
There were always those envious of places with good air quality. In truth, beyond an absence of industrial pollutants, natural environmental factors played a crucial role. Some places were simply blessed by nature, and no amount of envy could change that.
South Island was destined to be a place with fresh air. It was never meant to develop into an industrial hub for the Great Tang Empire—at most, a port city. Consequently, environmental protection would undoubtedly be well-maintained.
