Li Yao slowly walked out of the villa, stood by the lake, and pondered as she looked at the vast land.
The Spirit Spring Space actually has a sun, a moon, and a sky. Li Yao didn't understand the principle behind it, but this information appeared in her mind when she received the Spirit Spring Space. There are no seasons here, and the temperature is constant at around 28°C all year round. However, the land is fertile and does not affect the growth of any plants or the survival of any animals.
Whether it's a high mountain or a valley, Li Yao can create it at will, but plants need to be transplanted by her own will or by machines. They cannot be generated out of thin air.
The space currently features a lake and a beach, and the villa itself boasts a lawn of over a thousand square meters.
We need to plant some fruit trees, and the pasture also needs some animals, as well as some vegetables, Chinese medicinal herbs, wheat, and rice. We don't need too much, because we actually have enough stored up, but it can help pass the time and also be prepared for unforeseen circumstances.
Without further ado, they set out with the villa as the center point. Hu Bo was located to the north of the villa, and Li Yao placed the ranch she had previously acquired to the east.
Previously, the fully automated ranches totaled 207,000 hectares. That is, 207,000 mu (approximately 13,333 hectares), and now that they have all been released, they occupy one-fifth of the space.
Li Yao placed the entire ranch to the east, not far from the lake.
When the ranch was harvested, the underground water pipes were taken along with it and included in the map. The system scanned it and harvested it as a whole, like cutting a cake. So now, Li Yao only needs to dig a hole of the same size, put the ranch in and embed it, and that's it.
Using water is also very simple. You can dig waterways and bury water pipes underground with your mind, connect them to the ranch's main water gate, and then you can use the water.
The livestock sheds on the ranch originally housed 20,000 chickens, more than 10,000 ducks, more than 20,000 geese, 30,000 pigs, more than 10,000 cattle, and more than 20,000 sheep.
Li Yao doesn't plan to raise that many. She can't feed five dogs by herself, and more animals would consume more water and feed, and produce more excrement. So this time, she will only release five chicks, five ducklings, and five goslings, all of which are young. She will also release one male and one female piglet and two lambs from each of the pigs, cattle, and sheep.
Raising them like this, once they're grown to adulthood, they're stored in the [Infinite Space]. Then the cubs are released to continue raising them. Once all the cubs are grown, the adult animals are released to reproduce, and the process continues. This way, Li Yao doesn't have to put in much effort, and the animals grow in a cycle. If she wants to eat freshly slaughtered animals, she can eat these; if she wants to eat finished products, she has them in her own space. It's perfect.
The ranches have planting areas for vegetables and wheat, and Li Yao already knew the overall data when the ranches were placed in the space.
The total area for vegetables is 50,000 mu, the area for fruit greenhouses is 30,000 mu, and the area for wheat is 50,000 mu.
The vegetables and fruits on the ranch were planted in the spring and would have been ready for harvest in about three months; they were just starting to sprout. Li Yao didn't pull them up, planning to scale down the operation after this harvest, planting about an acre of various vegetables, which would be enough for her to stockpile indefinitely.
Li Yao simply stored the fruit and vegetable greenhouses in their original state inside the [Infinite Space]. The constant temperature here makes greenhouses unnecessary and wastes electricity. Once stored in their original state, they can be taken out and put back in their original state whenever needed.
Inside the ranch's power distribution room, there was a generator and the entire power supply equipment. Li Yao went out of her spatial dimension, brought Da Zhuang back, and took out a miniature controlled nuclear fusion reactor device, instructing it to connect the generator and equipment.
Da Zhuang worked quickly and efficiently, finishing in less than 5 minutes. Li Yao then turned on the lights in the power distribution room and found that there were no problems.
With the electricity sorted out, Li Yao also installed three commercial water purification devices at the main water valve, totaling 15 tons, which was more than enough. After setting the drip irrigation system to the current time, Li Yao teleported to the vegetable garden. Sure enough, the sprinklers on the ground started spraying water, indicating that the equipment was working properly. Reassured, Li Yao went to the livestock shed.
Li Yao grouped the small animals in the livestock shed together: chickens, ducks, and geese were in one area, each with a large compartment; pigs, cattle, and sheep were in another area, each with a compartment.
This place has state-of-the-art automated equipment. The water tanks can be set to specific time zones. When the time comes, the drain will automatically open, the remaining water from the previous time zone will drain away, and then the inlet will start filling with fresh water. Each animal receives 500ml of water four times a day.
Li Yao set the time to the present, and the automatic water feeder started working. After observing for a while, Li Yao saw that the water purifier and various devices were operating normally, so she started fiddling with the feeding trough.
These feeding troughs are also independent and automated. Li Yao guessed that the rancher had specially ordered these independent automatic feeding troughs because he didn't raise so many animals before. Each compartment can be started individually, so Li Yao doesn't have to turn on all the feeding troughs to save electricity when raising only a few animals.
The panel under each feeding trough is movable. Uneaten feed will be sent to the feed room and mixed with new feed by flipping down the panel. New feed will be delivered to the feeding trough through the conveyor according to the set amount. Once the time is set, feeding will be done at fixed times and in fixed quantities.
Li Yao teleported Special Forces 3, 4, 5, and 6, which were waiting in the space, to her side, led them to the feed room, and instructed Special Forces 3 and 4 to follow...
For chicks aged 20-50 days, the daily feed intake per chick is 20-50 grams.
Ducklings should consume 100-115 grams of feed per day.
Goslings should be fed 50-100 grams of feed daily.
Feed four times a day
Piglets should be fed an average of 200g per day from 3 to 5 weeks of age; and 800g per day from 35 to 60 days of age. From 12 to 60 days of age, they should consume a total of about 23 kg of feed.
The daily intake of concentrated feed for lambs should be 0.5-1% of their body weight, approximately 0.3-0.4 kg.
Calves should consume 0.7-1.1% of their body weight in concentrate feed.
This ratio is used to feed the animals at regular intervals and in fixed quantities.
As for hygiene, the cubicles are cleaned by automatic cleaning machines every day, with pre-set paths and times, just like household robot vacuums, which saves a lot of manpower.
Although there is no internet now, the machine can be operated manually. Li Yao arranged for Special Unit 5 to run the cleaning machine every day to clean up the area and then pour the excrement into the sewage treatment pool.
The sewage treatment pond uses a programmed system to convert feces into fertilizer for vegetables, fruits, and pasture, thus forming a circular system.
Meanwhile, the livestock shed has an environmental monitoring system and a disease prevention system, but due to network issues, it can only store data and cannot upload it in real time. However, Li Yao thought about it and asked the system to update the scanning, environmental monitoring, and disease prevention systems for all the special-grade robots. In this way, the special-grade robot 6 can take over the work of environmental monitoring and disease prevention.
