While waiting for the sensors to arrive, Lin Yue organized village technicians and experienced villagers to conduct a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the equipment. They discovered that the village's unstable power supply, with frequent voltage fluctuations, was causing significant damage to the equipment's electronic components. Therefore, Lin Yue decided to apply for special funds from higher authorities to install voltage stabilizers in the village and improve the power supply environment. At the same time, she also established a routine maintenance system, requiring maintenance personnel to regularly inspect, clean, and maintain the equipment, recording operating parameters and fault conditions to promptly identify and resolve problems.

The maintenance of agricultural technology equipment also faces numerous challenges. For example, agricultural drones sometimes crash during flight due to signal interference or improper operation. After each crash, professional technicians are required to conduct comprehensive inspections and adjustments, which is not only time-consuming but also demands a certain level of technical expertise. Lin Yue realized that relying solely on external technical support was far from sufficient; the village needed to cultivate its own equipment maintenance personnel. Therefore, she selected several promising young villagers to study at a professional drone repair training institution and invited experts to the village for regular maintenance training and guidance. After a period of effort, the village gradually established its own equipment maintenance team, capable of handling common equipment malfunctions, significantly improving the efficiency and stability of the technological equipment.

Funding shortages have also been a persistent and significant factor hindering development. The purchase and installation of technological equipment, as well as technical training and equipment maintenance, all require substantial financial investment. The village's economic foundation is relatively weak. Although tourism has brought some income, it still falls short of the high costs of technological applications. For example, the initial investment in a smart irrigation system, along with its supporting sensor network and central control system, reached hundreds of thousands of yuan. The purchase and operation costs of agricultural drones and sewage treatment equipment are also considerable. The delays in technological application due to funding shortages have had concrete impacts on various aspects of the village's development. In agricultural production, the initial expectation was that technology would rapidly increase yields and improve quality. However, due to the untimely arrival or malfunction of equipment, yield increases have been slow, and the quality of agricultural products has not improved significantly. This has put the village at a disadvantage in the agricultural market, resulting in unsatisfactory sales prices and volumes. In terms of environmental protection, the delayed operation of sewage treatment equipment has prevented the timely resolution of the village's sewage discharge problems, putting pressure on the surrounding water environment, affecting the village's ecological image, and hindering the further development of rural ecotourism.

To raise funds, Lin Yue tirelessly sought funding. She visited relevant government departments multiple times, detailing the village's plans and prospects for technological applications, and striving to secure special government support funds. She also actively communicated with banks to apply for low-interest loans. Simultaneously, she encouraged villagers to raise funds themselves and participate in the construction of the technology projects through a shareholding cooperative model. Thanks to her efforts, the village finally received some government support funds and bank loans, and the villagers responded enthusiastically, actively contributing capital and providing some financial security for the application of technology.

Faced with these numerous difficulties, Lin Yue also experienced countless internal struggles. She often sat alone in the village committee office late at night, gazing at the tranquil village outside the window, her heart filled with anxiety and confusion. She would ask herself, "Is my insistence on promoting technological applications really the right choice? What if I fail? Will the villagers blame me?" But whenever she saw the villagers' expectant eyes and thought about the village's future prospects, she would encourage herself: "I can't give up. This is the only way for the village to modernize. As long as I persevere, I will eventually find a solution." She remembered her initial motivation for coming to this village: to lead the villagers to a better life and achieve rural revitalization and prosperity. This belief acted like a lighthouse, illuminating her path through the darkness of adversity, giving her the courage to face and overcome the many difficulties in the process of applying technology.

Despite the numerous difficulties, Lin Yue never gave up. She deeply understood that technology was the only way for the village to modernize and achieve sustainable development. Every time she solved a problem in technical training, every time she successfully repaired equipment, and every time she raised funds, she moved closer to her dream. In this process, she witnessed the villagers' transformation from initial skepticism and resistance to gradual acceptance and active participation. She saw the pride on Old Zhang's face after mastering the intelligent irrigation system, the excitement in Grandpa Li's eyes as he learned to use a drone with the help of volunteers, and the tired yet satisfied smile on Xiao Liu's face after successfully repairing the sewage treatment equipment. These scenes, like twinkling stars, illuminated her path forward and strengthened her determination to continue promoting the application of technology in the village. She believed that with perseverance, the village, aided by technology, would overcome all difficulties and usher in a brighter tomorrow.
