In the grand narrative of village development, the influx of new talent is like a clear spring flowing into parched land, and the seeds of technology begin to take root and sprout in this hopeful field. Lin Yue deeply understands that technology is like a magic key that can unlock the door to higher-quality development for the village. Therefore, she actively plans, explores various avenues, and strives to introduce suitable technological achievements to the village, giving it solid wings for take-off.

In the field of agricultural technology, the village has ushered in a quiet yet profound transformation. Previously, villagers followed traditional farming methods; although they worked diligently, their harvests were often limited by natural conditions and traditional planting techniques. Now, modern agricultural technologies, like beams of hope, illuminate this ancient land. The introduction of intelligent irrigation systems is a crucial part of this transformation. Through a network of sensors deployed in the fields, these tiny yet precise devices can monitor key data such as soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient content in real time, transmitting the information to a central control system. Based on a preset crop growth model, the system automatically calculates the optimal irrigation time and water volume, precisely controlling every drop of water used. According to agricultural experts, this intelligent irrigation method can save more than 50% of water compared to traditional flood irrigation, while also increasing crop yields by 20%-30%. In a demonstration field in the village, large areas of vegetables are being grown. Since the installation of the intelligent irrigation system, the work of watering, which previously required a great deal of manpower and time, has become easy and efficient. Looking at the thriving vegetables, villager Grandpa Wang beamed with satisfaction. He exclaimed, "This high technology is truly remarkable! Before, watering was all based on experience, and we either overwatered or underwatered. Now, this system can control it precisely, and the vegetables are growing fast and well. Our harvest is sure to be good."

However, in the early stages of promoting the intelligent irrigation system, it encountered many conflicts with the villagers' traditional habits. Some older villagers were accustomed to judging irrigation time based on weather and seasonal changes, and had doubts about the automatic control of the machine. They worried that the machine would malfunction, causing crops to lack water or drown. One elderly man, Mr. Li, insisted on watering according to his own experience and was unwilling to use the intelligent irrigation system. After learning about this, Lin Yue visited Mr. Li several times to patiently communicate with him and also invited agricultural experts to explain the principles and reliability of the intelligent irrigation system to him. The experts demonstrated the system's accuracy by comparing Mr. Li's irrigation records from previous years with the simulated data of the intelligent system. At the same time, Lin Yue arranged for technicians to demonstrate the system in Mr. Li's field for a period of time, allowing Mr. Li to see the good effects of the intelligent irrigation system firsthand. After a period of observation, Mr. Li finally accepted this new technology. He said shyly, "It seems I need to change my old ways of thinking. This new thing is really amazing."

Besides smart irrigation, the application of agricultural drones has brought unprecedented convenience to agricultural production in villages. These drones, like sprites in the sky, shuttle and hover above farmland. Equipped with high-definition cameras and multispectral sensors, they can quickly conduct aerial surveys of large areas of farmland, obtaining detailed information such as crop growth status and pest distribution. In one pest monitoring operation, a drone completed scanning hundreds of acres of farmland in just half an hour and accurately identified several high-incidence areas of pests and diseases through image recognition technology. Subsequently, agricultural technicians quickly formulated targeted prevention and control plans based on the information provided by the drones, using a combination of biological control and precision pesticide application to promptly control the spread of pests and diseases. Xiao Li, an agricultural technician in the village, excitedly said, "With the help of these drones, it's like we have 'eyes that can see a thousand miles,' enabling us to promptly identify problems and prescribe the right medicine, greatly improving our work efficiency and prevention and control effectiveness."

However, the use of drones also made some villagers uneasy. They felt that drones flying over farmland would disturb crops and poultry. Some villagers even worried that the drone signals would affect human health. Lin Yue organized a drone knowledge popularization meeting, inviting technicians from drone manufacturers to explain in detail the working principles of drones, flight safety regulations, and signal radiation. Through on-site demonstrations and data presentations, the technicians showed the villagers that the drone's flight altitude and operating range would not have a substantial impact on crops and poultry, and that its signal radiation was within safe limits. At the same time, Lin Yue also developed a plan for drone flight times and routes, trying to avoid villagers' living areas and poultry farming areas to minimize interference with their lives. Through these efforts, the villagers gradually accepted the application of drones in agricultural production.

In terms of environmental protection technology, the village has also made solid progress. With the improvement of living standards, the problems of domestic waste and sewage discharge have gradually become prominent. To solve this problem, Lin Yue introduced an advanced waste sorting and treatment system and sewage treatment equipment. The waste sorting and treatment system has set up multiple intelligent waste sorting and disposal points in the center of the village. These points are equipped with automatic identification devices and voice prompts to guide villagers to correctly sort and dispose of their waste. At the same time, the system is connected to the information platform of a waste recycling company, enabling real-time collection and transportation scheduling of waste. Recyclable waste, after sorting and processing, is transported to a specialized recycling plant for reprocessing; hazardous waste undergoes safe and harmless treatment; and organic waste such as kitchen waste is sent to biological fermentation equipment to be converted into organic fertilizer for use in farmland. The operation of this system has not only greatly reduced waste pollution to the environment but also achieved resource recycling. According to statistics, within six months of the waste sorting and treatment system's implementation, the village's landfill volume decreased by more than 70%. Simultaneously, through waste recycling and organic fertilizer production, the village has generated considerable additional income.
