After the ranch was basically settled, Li Yao began planning to set up an orchard.
To the west of the villa, Li Yao reserved 10 acres for a future supermarket and hospital. Further west, she used her mind to draw a 200,000-acre square plot as an orchard. Although she couldn't eat that much now, time couldn't be accelerated in this space, and fruit trees still needed a considerable amount of time to bear fruit. Li Yao planned to plant the fruit first and let the robot manage it. That way, every harvest season, she could store all the fruit in the [Infinite Space] without it spoiling, ensuring she would have an endless supply of fruit.
There were already existing orchards. Li Yao had previously harvested several in the Flag Country when she was collecting fruit. They were modern orchards with automated planting systems. Li Yao used her consciousness to check, and one of the orchards was about 149,000 mu (approximately 9,667 hectares), which was a suitable size.
Following the same procedure as with the previous ranch, Li Yao removed the entire orchard and embedded it in the space, and dug underground water pipes to install eight commercial water purifiers to irrigate the orchard.
This orchard has many varieties of fruit, including apricots, peaches, avocados, oranges, tangerines, olives, pears, kiwis, lemons, cherries, and more. Li Yao plans to grow the others herself in the future. She mentally marked out the areas according to the plan of 5 mu for each type of fruit, dug holes, and then put up wooden signs indicating the types of fruit she would plant later.
Today, Li Yao plans to set up the basic facilities in the space first, and then slowly plant things later. After all, there are many days ahead, and she can choose a specific time period to plant things at her own pace.
After marking the area, Li Yao went to the power distribution room as usual, grabbed Da Zhuang, and connected him to the miniature controllable nuclear fusion reactor power generation device. In an instant, all the electrical equipment in the orchard lit up with indicator lights.
After checking each piece of equipment and finding that all of them were in good working order, Li Yao went to check the sprinkler irrigation system.
The water spraying equipment here is a water truck that is about 3 to 5 meters high. It can automatically set the route or be manually operated to spray water. It can be used for both spraying pesticides and watering. There is also a water spraying device on the ground.
Li Yao turned on the main switch of the ground equipment, and all the sprinklers in the orchard started working. After everything was working properly, Li Yao teleported Special 7 to Special 10 to her, had the system update their knowledge on fruit tree planting, and then handed the orchard over to them.
After completing the orchard plan, Li Yao teleported to the south of the villa, thinking of creating a valley to plant some Chinese medicinal herbs. Many Chinese medicinal herbs are better the older they are, and since Li Yao lives alone, she wanted to plant a little of each kind and occasionally water them with spiritual spring water.
But she had no idea what to do. Li Yao called on the system: "[6834, can you scan the geology and landforms of Shennongjia and then copy the medicinal herb planting areas and forest terrain there?]"
[Host, we can replicate the terrain and landform features 1:1, but you'll need to plant or transplant the herbs and trees on the mountain yourself.]
Li Yao thought this was acceptable; at least she knew where to plant them. She could just collect some rare saplings and flowers, sprinkle them with spiritual spring water, and they would be easy to grow.
Shennongjia in China was listed as a World Heritage Site long ago. The place is named after Shennong, the legendary ancestor of the Chinese people, who built a ladder of wood here to collect and taste hundreds of herbs, save people from diseases and premature death, and teach them how to farm.
Sixty years ago, Shennongjia was a primeval forest. Later, the outer areas were gradually developed under the protection of the Chinese government, but the deeper parts remained a restricted area.
Currently, preliminary investigations in Shennongjia have identified 3,183 species of higher vascular plants belonging to 872 genera and 199 families, as well as 927 species of fungi and lichens.
Among them, 76 species are nationally protected plants, such as Davidia involucrata, Davidia involucrata var. glabra, Cercidiphyllum japonicum, Tetracentron sinense, and Emmenopterys henryi.
There are 42 species of plants endemic to western Hubei, such as Populus alba and Apricot rosaefolia.
With over 1,800 medicinal plants, it is renowned both at home and abroad as a "natural medicinal garden".
Shennongjia is home to 493 species of vertebrates, including 75 species in 22 families and 7 orders of mammals, 308 species in 48 families and 16 orders of birds, 40 species in 2 genera and 27 families of reptiles, 23 species in 7 families and 2 orders of amphibians, and 47 species in 32 genera and 10 families of fishes.
Shennongjia is rich in insect resources, with 4,143 species belonging to 157 families and 28 orders.
There are 73 species of nationally protected wild animals.
In addition, more than 30 albino animals have been discovered in Shennongjia, such as white musk deer, white serow, white snake, and white bear.
The abundance of albino animals is also a distinctive feature of the area's animal resources.
