Consciousness returned, carrying with it the chilling aura of the mission world.

Jiang Chan immediately looked toward the corner of the system space—a compact, sturdy "iron beast" covered in dark green metallic paint and a square, container-like metal cabin, silently floating.

It's done!

Without taking a break, she immediately went to the edge of the wheat field.

Lock onto the harvester with your mind!

Buzz—!

A deep engine roared to life! The dark green steel behemoth appeared instantly beside the golden wheat field!

Its design is even more imposing and powerful than the previous "Iron Ox" used for pioneering the land!

"Back off! Get away!" Jiang Chan shouted at the crowd that had been alerted by the commotion and gathered around. The crowd hurriedly retreated, looking at the "iron monster" they had never seen before from afar with a mixture of awe and fear.

Jiang Chan jumped into the driver's seat.

Setting: Harvest Mode.

Startup confirmed!

Whoosh—buzz!

The engine roared even more powerfully! The high-speed rotating cutting disc at the front of the harvester, like the sharp teeth of a giant beast, instantly sliced ​​into the dense wheat field!

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The sickening slicing sound rang out in rapid succession! The thick and tough "Fengrang" wheat stalks were like fragile straws in front of the sharp alloy blades, being cut off and rolled in cleanly! The golden waves of wheat seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible giant mouth!

Wherever the harvester passes, the dense wheat field is instantly "shaved" into a wide path! Only neat stubble about half a foot high is left!

The harvested wheat ears, along with some of the straw, were quickly drawn into the rear of the machine by a powerful conveyor belt! Immediately afterwards, dull thumping, sifting, and airflow sounds came from inside the machine!

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, the steel behemoth, like a tireless glutton, advanced through the wheat field at an astonishing speed!

As it passed, the golden waves of wheat were neatly separated and then reunited, leaving behind only bare stubble fields and clean, plump wheat grains pouring out like a golden waterfall from a discharge port on the side and rear of the machine!

The grains of wheat fell directly into a huge canvas bag attached below.

"Good heavens! It...it's swallowed!" Old Sun's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

"A divine object! It truly is a divine object!"

"Too fast! Too fast! This...this is faster than a hundred people cutting it!"

A deafening gasp erupted from the crowd! Watching that iron beast devour the wheat field they would have needed ten days to half a month of non-stop harvesting at a speed visible to the naked eye, the shock in their hearts was beyond measure!

Jiang Chan drove the combine harvester steadily through the wheat field. Watching the golden waves of wheat rushing past in the rearview mirror, listening to the efficient hum of the machine, and feeling the vibrations of the tracks crushing the stubble beneath her feet, a sense of exhilarating control welled up within her!

Less than 10 minutes!

A huge canvas bag was filled to the brim with golden wheat grains! The machine automatically stopped discharging the material.

Jiang Chan stopped the machine and jumped down.

The crowd immediately gathered around the huge, bulging bag of wheat grains, their hands trembling with excitement as they looked at the plump grains inside, exuding the fresh aroma of new wheat!

"So much! And it's only been a short while!"

"Fairy Maiden! These wheat grains...are so clean!"

However, when Jiang Chan looked at the full bag of wheat grains and then at the wheat field where less than a tenth had been harvested, her brows furrowed.

New wheat! It has a very high moisture content! It must be dried as soon as possible! Otherwise, if piled up, it will quickly heat up, mold, and sprout! Then this bag of wheat will be ruined!

"Old Sun! Take some men! Carry this bag of wheat to the deserted village! Find the flattest and cleanest stone slab or rammed earth surface! Spread it out! Spread it as thinly as possible! Let it dry!"

Jiang Chan immediately gave the order.

"Hey! Alright!" Old Sun, full of energy, called to several strong men, and together they hurriedly lifted the heavy sack of wheat grains and staggered towards the deserted village.

Jiang Chan restarted the harvester and continued harvesting.

Ten minutes later, the second canvas bag was also full!

"A few more people! Carry it away! Spread it out to dry!" Jiang Chan ordered again.

Another group of people ran towards the deserted village.

Just as the third bag was about to be full, Old Man Sun came running back, panting and looking anxious: "Fairy Maiden! Fairy Maiden! The flat ground in the deserted village... all the places to dry grain... are covered! There's no place to spread out this new bag!"

Jiang Chan abruptly stopped the machine! She jumped down and followed Old Man Sun as they quickly ran to the relatively flat, abandoned threshing ground in the deserted village.

really!

The once spacious stone slab and rammed earth ground are now covered with golden wheat grains! A thin layer, shimmering with an alluring luster in the sunlight.

But there are no gaps left!

The third bag of wheat grains was carried over, but it could only be piled up on the weeds next to it, and it couldn't be spread out effectively at all!

"The space is too small!" Old Sun stamped his feet anxiously. "The wheat grains have just been harvested and are very damp! If we leave them piled up without drying them, they'll spoil in half a day!"

Jiang Chan looked at the piled-up wheat grains, then at the third bag waiting to be packed next to the combine harvester in the distance, and at the golden wheat fields still waiting to be harvested... A huge sense of frustration welled up in her heart!

The combine harvester is too efficient! The threshing floor is too small! It simply can't keep up with the harvesting speed! What to do?! Should we stop harvesting and wait for this batch of wheat to dry? What about the wheat in the remaining fields? Things could get complicated!

Jiang Chan returned to the edge of the wheat field with a dark expression. Chen Yan, who had been following beside her, understood the problem as he observed the dire state of the abandoned village's threshing ground.

“There’s not enough space…” Jiang Chan stared at the temporarily stopped harvester, her voice low, “The wheat grains need to be spread out to dry… piled up like this… they’ll spoil…”
