Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#819 - Alien Farm

"Before I leave, is there anything else you need me to help with?"

The next morning, facing the rising sun in the vast desert and the city shrouded in mist, Meng Xiaoyu was preparing to leave with a group of experts from the inspection team in an official military jeep.

Before getting into the car, Liang Yue's little secretary specifically turned back to confirm with him whether there were any additional matters regarding this return investment that needed to be supplemented.

Looking at the earnest Meng Xiaoyu in front of him, Liang Yue thought for a moment and replied~

"Well~ since you asked, then help me get a breeding license. I want to artificially breed a batch of macaws or something~"

"Macaws? You came up with this request on the spur of the moment, didn't you?"

Meng Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him again upon hearing this, and said unhappily,

"Ah, anyway, you have to report to your superiors this time, so just help me get it done while you're at it~"

"Hmph, fine~! After returning this time, it's estimated that it won't be long before the power of the state will come in, and then large-scale infrastructure construction, paving roads, connecting electricity, setting up networks, and so on.

There will be a lot, but these can only exist on the premise that there is water in the Northwest. Are you sure that this source of water you created can keep flowing?"

"In another world, this water has been flowing for a century, and it can still maintain normal operation until now."

"A century..."

Hearing Liang Yue's words, Meng Xiaoyu couldn't help but look again at the five or six small rivers that were gurgling and flowing forward before and after the small city.

The mountain lake, plus the water source formed by the hundreds of water ponds that Liang Yue poured into the city last night, these two superimposed together, the flow rate is already quite large.

Enough to reach the level of some major river tributaries, if such a river can flow continuously for a century, the originally dry Lop Nur would be enough to reproduce the magnificent scene of the past.

If it can be used well, or persuade Liang Yue to simply get a few more water sources out, maybe the entire Northwest will become another granary of China in a few years.

When that time comes...

"Okay, I will report all of this truthfully. If it's convenient for you, it's best to create a few more of those lakes, so that there are conditions for forming a scale effect.

The higher-ups can then make large-scale investments in development. Just these few rivers can only develop more than a million acres of usable land on both sides of your city at most, although it's still quite a lot.

But for the entire Northwest, it's still too much of a drop in the bucket."

After speaking, Meng Xiaoyu looked at Liang Yue with an expectant expression, hoping to see something from the delicate face of this guy who was making people jealous.

Unfortunately, she still failed to get what she wanted in the end...

...

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye~

Under the tireless work of a group of robots day and night, the entire small city was finally developed and formed.

Under the azure sky, large swathes of waist-high pasture grass have dyed the entire small city green.

With a gust of wind, the rolling waves of grass curl and intertwine with each other, stirring up patches of colorful small flowers into the air.

Occasionally, there are also a few tall trees dotted among them, stretching out freely, like mottled patterns on a green carpet, exuding vigorous vitality.

Every distance apart, there is a pond of about a hundred acres in size, which reflects each other with the surrounding green grass, reflecting the blue of the sky, and the sparkling waves are like countless brilliant crystals, refracting dazzling precious light.

Under the tall city walls, a batch of solid warehouses and temporary residences for livestock have also been built at this time.

Unfortunately, there seem to be a lot of these livestock.

It also took a lot of effort to be pulled into the small city by groups of convoys, but scattered on the entire pasture, it was like throwing a pebble into the water, and often even a shadow could not be seen afterwards.

Fortunately, the group of robotic employees under Liang Yue were prepared early and nailed number tags and sensing devices to each cattle and sheep, otherwise it would be really difficult to find them in this lush pasture.

In addition, a lot of various fish fry were also transported, but once the fish got into the water, they could not be seen all day long.

As for poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese, Liang Yue did not purchase much. He only symbolically asked for tens of thousands of each type, and additionally circled a piece of land with a dense net and free-ranged them inside.

However, the pasture grass grows too fast because Liang Yue occasionally releases green liquid.

In order to better utilize this grass resource, under the command of that female simulation robot, a group of free robotic employees have driven professional mowing vehicles and plowed the pasture back and forth twice.

Then, the green grass was packed into haystacks and pulled to the desert outside the small city to dry, preparing it as silage for use in the long winter.

Now, these large haystacks that have been dried almost enough have been piled up to hundreds of thousands of tons, which is very spectacular at a glance.

After being examined and studied by the state-owned ranchers and nearby herders who came after hearing the news, a batch has been purchased as trial products in the early stage.

However, the effect of the green liquid that Liang Yue sprinkled is too strong.

After all, it is a mysterious object that exists as a special natural treasure, rich in powerful vitality, and it is extraordinarily effective for ripening and sprouting various elixir, and the efficiency of accelerating the growth of these ordinary pasture grass and ordinary herbs is even more needless to say.

Even after being cut twice in a row, it is still exerting a powerful effect, and often only takes one night, and the new grass can grow again the next day.

However, the entire small city was not entirely sown with pasture grass and herbs by Liang Yue, and about one-tenth of the area was separately delineated in advance for planting purposes.

Liang Yue does not intend to use this area to grow various seasonal vegetables, after all, there are enough of that kind of thing on the market, and he doesn't have to compete with farmers for food.

After Liang Yue considered it for a while, he decided to plant some relatively rare and uncommon crops on this land.

For example, when Liang Yue went to the DC world for the heavens trial, Yuan Datou once took out a rather peculiar fruit to entertain him.

It was a kind of grape, also growing in bunches, but each grape was as big as a fist, and the taste was also very good.

It is said that it was found on a cliff in a certain place in Ludong, and it seems that it does not exist in reality, or it has been extinct in the war years.

After Liang Yue got the seeds, he sent them to the plantation in the stronghold world, and later he ordered the intelligent Xiaowu to cultivate, optimize breeding, and then remove the seeds from the fruit using biotechnology.

If this kind of large grape is mass-produced as a special product on the farm, the effect should be very good.

In addition, when Liang Yue went to Xandar, he also specially purchased a batch of popular fruit and vegetable planting seeds covering the entire galaxy.

As long as they are slightly cultivated, they will become new specialty products by then.
