Chapter 497: Farming in the Interstellar World (9)
When you open the door, you're filled with the fragrance of plants and trees, mixed with a slight sweetness.
This is the smell of air freshener, a variety that Shen Yao specially selected.
The housekeeping robot is arranging the items in the room, from tables, chairs and benches to various seasonings.
call
Sitting on the extra-long sofa in the living room and closing her eyes, Shen Yao called out the system, reminding it not to forget to monitor the entire farm they had just bought.
"We are at Farm No. 56. Farms 55 and 57 on the left and right are empty for the time being." It can be said that the place she chose is very suitable for causing trouble.
"Host, rest assured," the system said with great enthusiasm. Perhaps it had never experienced such a farm life before, and the new environment and identity made it very curious.
Shen Yao plans to start sowing early tomorrow morning, and at the same time select a few areas close to her residence to grow crops from other worlds in the space.
The same cannot be said for other worlds. Some similar varieties may exist on different planets. If Shen Yao can really grow them and develop new uses for them, her ambition of buying planets for farming will be advanced.
Drop drop-
The bracelet made a sound at the right time. Shen Yao looked down and found that it was Xu Ziqing.
The two of them can be considered to have a friendship as pure as water. Although they have not met again in recent years, their relationship is still maintained at a fair level.
Shen Yao took advantage of Xu Ziqing's location on the N planet and directly entrusted him to buy seeds and send them back by express delivery. Since Planet L was not as good as Planet N, Shen Yao would always send the output of farming and some items that were helpful in appeasing the spiritual body. Despite this, Shen Yao still took advantage, but the way of communication between the two was still preserved.
This time too, Xu Ziqing received the news that Shen Yao was going to Hengsuo to farm, and bought some expensive plant seeds from N-series planets as gifts, which had already been sent out via interstellar express.
"There are some interesting plant seeds in there that I found while exploring the planet. You can try planting one. If you feel comfortable, I can help you contact the buyer when it matures."
Xu Ziqing doesn't communicate much with Shen Yao on weekdays, but after completing each mission, he will contact Shen Yao to talk about some interesting things.
"Xu Ziqing, thank you so much, (≧?≦)"
Shen Yao expressed her thanks calmly and sent the specific location of the farm to Xu Ziqing.
Xu Ziqing returned to his address the next second. Both of them had graduated from university. Compared to Shen Yao who left the capital and went to the countryside to farm, Xu Ziqing did not join the army, but became an exploration hunter.
Well, from another perspective, both of them are relatively rebellious.
The light on the bracelet dimmed, and Shen Yao dropped the bracelet and let her mind go.
The next morning, Shen Yao woke up from a good sleep and after a simple nutrient breakfast, she first rode her balance bike out to put down the constant temperature cover, then took out the seeds and handed them to the farming robot.
The fully automatic integrated farm planting saves Shen Yao a lot of trouble.
Shen Yao doesn't even need to go to the fields herself. She only needs to materialize her spiritual body to connect, and she can stay in her residence and wait for the harvest.
Of course, Shen Yao didn't do that in the end. Instead, she took out seeds from other worlds to identify them and selected those she planned to plant.
"The spiritual plants in the world of cultivation need spiritual energy." So far, no planet with spiritual energy has been found, including the seeds that Xu Ziqing mailed, and there is no trace of spiritual plants.
Shen Yao now relies on spiritual stones to cultivate and improve his spiritual body, so it is not convenient for him to use spiritual stones for farming.
'Host, we can try to cultivate semi-finished spiritual plants that do not require spiritual energy,' just like in the Age World, relying on it to make a fortune.
'Let's wait until the farm is on the right track first.' Spiritual plant cultivation is not something that can be done overnight.
What's more, there is a barrier between spiritual plants and ordinary plants. The reason why the world of the ages can be created is because it is special, and it is unknown in the current interstellar world.
Soon, the selected seeds were put aside. Shen Yao temporarily collected the ones that were not needed, and then worked with the farming robot to plant the seeds.
There is an irrigation system between the fields, and irrigation can be sprayed by turning it on through the robot's connection screen.
After a busy day, Shen Yao finally had the chance to go out and stroll around the center of Hengso City after planting the 300 hectares of land.
It is not much different from Drab, except that there are fewer high-rise buildings, the frequency of hovercrafts and spaceships is not high, daily consumption is low, and the variety of expensive items sold in shopping malls is single and poor. If you want to buy something comprehensive, the only way is to shop online or take a bus to a larger city.
Shen Yao came to Hengsuo to farm and didn't care much about external things.
Besides, there were some things she didn’t need, and the space was just big enough for her normal life.
Waving her hand with a bit of lack of interest, Shen Yao only stayed in the center of Hengsuo for half a day, and finally bought a few good game floppy disks to take home.
It just so happened that when she came from Drab, she brought a rarely used game console with her, so she could play some games when she was bored, which was a way to relax.
"Master, welcome home."
The housekeeping robot appeared at the door, having already placed the slippers in place with its mechanical claws.
Shen Yao felt a little sticky after walking around all day, so she just took a shower.
When I came out of the shower, the housework robot had already prepared dinner and placed it on the dining table.
As usual, Shen Yao helped the household robot to recharge its energy and rest, and then lay on the sofa to relax after dinner.
The TV not far away was turned on, broadcasting various news.
Because it is Hengsuo City TV, the most broadcast content is about farming, such as a bumper harvest in such and such a place, the emergence of pests and diseases causing heavy losses in such and such a place, and the release of a new variety in such and such a place making a fortune.
Amidst this peaceful news, the announcer suddenly interrupted with a serious face and announced a piece of not-so-good news.
"According to the federal government's investigation, traces of Zerg activity were found on planet L105.
The federal government has arranged for the army to carry out a siege, and at the same time opened up the L105 planet and surrounding exploration planets, allowing exploration hunters to enter..."
The rest were just polite words. Shen Yao only heard that ferocious Zerg appeared not far from their planet.
Planet L105 is special. There are not many citizens on it. It is a planet that relies mainly on water resources. If Zerg are found there, will there be a shortage of water resources on the surrounding planets?
It seems possible when I think about it, because the water resources of the planet L105 are the main source of supply to other surrounding planets.
It just so happens that Planet L98 is one of them. Although Planet L98 is not short of water, the price will be cheaper if there is more water. Farmers like them use water in many places, and the monthly water bill is a huge expense.
Opening the bracelet and clicking on the website for purchasing water resources, Shen Yao quickly placed an order to prevent subsequent price increases from affecting the operation of the farm.
There are many people who share the same idea as Shen Yao. In addition to ordinary people who do not use much water in daily life, larger farms and companies will spend a lot of money to purchase backup water to prevent being in a hurry when there is a water shortage.
After finishing all this, the news in front of me became normal.
Shen Yao thought about it and decided to browse the internet.
On the community forum that Hengso often uses, many farmers and entrepreneurs began to complain about the news they had just received.
It is said that someone has some connections at home and learned that the situation is more serious than what was reported. The Zerg problem on planet L105 is difficult to solve, and the impact on water supply is a foregone conclusion.
Huh!
Once words like these are spoken, more people will spend money to buy water.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao looked at the indignation in the forum, with people constantly coming in to post messages, people constantly advocating that the water might not be enough, and people constantly leaving and showing off their purchased water storage certificates when they come back... Tsk tsk tsk, why does it feel like taking advantage of the old customers?
He shook his head and threw some inappropriate thoughts out of his mind.
Shen Yao found Xu Ziqing's chat box and after thinking about it, she decided to ask about the Zerg.
Xu Ziqing responded promptly, probably because he thought Shen Yao would ask, "There is a report, and the government has arranged for the surrounding troops to handle it. If nothing unexpected happens, the place will be completely open."
Fully open?
Shen Yao looked at the content on the bracelet and wondered if the government was going to use the explorers' hands to get free stuff? However, the explorers who dared to go were not stupid. They could not do a business that would lose money. In the end, it was still profitable to be completely open.
“When the Zerg appear on a planet, the world center will be damaged to varying degrees.
If you seize the boundary heart at this time, you will not be held accountable by the government," and you can also make a fortune by selling the boundary heart.
Shen Yao: ...No wonder, that's why
The system had mentioned the center of the planet to her before, and it was the cause of the accident on the planet she was exploring. Now when Xu Ziqing mentioned the center of the planet again... Shen Yao paused while typing, "Will you go?"
Planet L105 is not far from Planet L98. If Xu Ziqing participates in this exploration mission, they might be able to meet each other.
"I will go. Planetary cores are hard to come by and most exploration hunters will just try their luck," because planetary cores have many uses.
Even some planets that have lost their core can be sold at a low price and then used to nourish and revive the planet. Compared to directly buying a normal planet, the price will of course be cheaper.
Shen Yao only said that when the other party came, he would have the opportunity to visit Planet L98. As for the rest, she would wait until Xu Ziqing really showed up.
When the sun rises and its rays shine upon the earth, a new day arrives as expected.
Shen Yao continued to be busy with her daily life, taking care of both farming and breeding.
The events on planet L105 seemed to have nothing to do with her. Even though they were later rebroadcast in the news, ordinary people really didn't care much about them.
The seeds planted slowly broke out of their shells, revealing tender green shoots.
Above the sky is a transparent constant temperature cover that adjusts the temperature according to the characteristics of the plants and automatically stores and charges energy, making it a must-have for lazy people.
The spiritual body of Chamomile, which was several times larger than the original, floated in front of Shen Yao and swayed its body.
It can already reveal its preferences and characteristics intermittently.
Occasionally, it would complain to Shen Yao about the smell of the culture medium and the plants it hated.
Just like a child who has just learned language, no wonder it is so difficult to cultivate a spiritual body.
"Eat, I want to eat...Hate, I don't like..."
Shen Yao rolled her eyes speechlessly at the picky little guy beside her.
He didn't refuse the culture medium in his hand, but tilted his head back and swallowed it in one gulp.
Spiritual Chamomile: ...
Well, the little thing was even more unwilling and started crying and making a fuss.
Shen Yao hurriedly took out two spirit stones and used her spiritual sense to calm the chamomile down. As the chamomile shyly closed its leaves, the matter came to an end.
Small things like this happen almost every now and then, because after continuous cultivation and improvement, the spiritual body will have its own personality and consciousness.
It is said that some gifted people can live a life of wealth and honor simply by relying on their awakened spiritual bodies.
Shen Yao didn’t know how long she would have to rely on her spiritual body, she only knew that no matter how much she continued to spend, her ambition of buying a planet and farming would be delayed indefinitely.
Before she knew it, Shen Yao had been in Hengsuo for almost two months. The crops in the fields were about to enter the harvest season under the dual cultivation of the farming robot and the spiritual body chamomile.
The small white flowers are about to bloom, with only small buds appearing.
Shen Yao constantly patrolled the fields on a balance bike, and sometimes she would stop to take a look to make sure nothing was missed.
In addition, the livestock on the farm are growing very well, they are fat and strong and can eat and drink well, and even the fish fry in the pond are several times larger than when they first started.
Bored, Shen Yao took a look at the crops planted around her residence. They were all seeds from other mission worlds. Some of them grew to be half a person's height, and the fruits they produced were fragrant.
After checking each one, there were no problems, and there were no pests or diseases. It was just that these crops matured relatively late, so it was likely that they would have to wait until all the crops on the farm were harvested.
Oh, yes, and the crops from the fields.
Shen Yao took out the field she carried with her. It was a small, palm-sized cube with several farming robots busy at work inside.
Click the button above the field to view the crop growth through the translucent projection screen.
The most commonly planted one is chamomile, followed by the seeds delivered by Xu Ziqing. Some of them are produced by Exploration Planet, which only germinated after two months, and their types and effects are unknown.
However, most of the seeds sent by Xu Ziqing were not cheap. As an experienced farmer, Shen Yao had also benefited from Xu Ziqing's kindness before.
If Xu Ziqing came this time, Shen Yao wouldn't mind selling her valuable crops to him at a discount.
Although these things were not valuable in Xu Ziqing's eyes, they were at least a token of his appreciation.
After returning to his residence to get the fishing net that automatically opened and closed, Shen Yao went to a nearby lake to fish.
It's a good idea to take advantage of something that's free. When there was a lot of talk about water shortage, many farmers went to the lakes to irrigate their fields, but Shen Yao didn't do that. What's wrong with coming here to catch a few fish to eat?
After Shen Yao arrived at the river, he unfolded the fishing net in his hand and threw it into the water.
After a few moments, the fishing net automatically shrank and floated to the surface. Shen Yao pulled it to the shore and saw the river fish jumping around in the fishing net.
The colors vary and the sizes are inconsistent.
Shen Yao picked out the ones that tasted good and put them into the bucket, and threw the rest back into the river.
Putting the bucket in front of the balance bike, Shen Yao rode the balance bike back. The next second after arriving at her residence, she received a message from Xu Ziqing.
"I came to see you."
