Chapter 560: Simon and the Others' Shock, the High-Energy Automated Farm

"Wow, Mom, a big tree! It's so huge!"

Little Jieni stared at the picturesque valley before him, along with the lush, towering Giant Tree Forest in the distance.

He immediately opened his mouth wide, his face filled with delight.

In truth, it wasn't just Jieni.

Simon, Larr, and Dale slowly walked out of the motel, gazing at this vibrant green world before them, all feeling a strong sense of unreality.

Simon looked down at an ant crawling past his feet.

He felt the gentle breeze brushing against him, as well as the warm sunlight.

The shock in his eyes was impossible to hide.

He looked around, terrified that this was all a dream that could shatter at any moment.

Little Jieni's eyes were already darting around curiously.

Because they were currently in the core area of Giant Tree Valley, right next to the energy function zone—the location of the Swiftstrider Power Plant.

Those cattle and horse Swiftstriders endlessly sprinting within the wheels caught Jieni's attention.

The sight of hundreds of wheels spinning simultaneously was absolutely breathtaking.

Seeing this scene for the first time, Jieni's eyes went wide.

"Mom, what's that?"

The three of them followed Jieni's gaze.

Their pupils immediately contracted.

Unlike Jieni.

All three recognized the Swiftstriders.

After all, the shelter's Treadmill Generator Room was powered by Swiftstriders running inside.

But seeing so many Swiftstriders generating electricity together at once brought an unparalleled shock to them.

Building such a massive power plant in the wasteland setting was practically a miracle.

Yu Yuan and the others slowly looked over every detail of the place.

Only then did he speak slowly.

"With our current development, the shelter model can no longer keep up with my growth. My next step is to bring you all into this world."

Larr's face lit up with joy.

But Simon furrowed his brows slightly.

"Boss, it's fine for us to come here, but what about the vegetables and animals back at the shelter? The vegetable cultivation just started taking shape, and I'm worried..."

Dale also showed a worried expression.

"Exactly! The mealworms are about to be harvested. While this environment is more suitable for mealworm cultivation, without the enhancement effect of the Insect Breeding Room, their growth rate will slow down a lot!"

Hearing their concerns, Yu Yuan smiled.

"Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it."

At Yu Yuan's words, Simon and Dale exchanged a glance and nodded immediately.

They didn't overthink it any further. They had voiced their concerns, and since the boss had already considered it, all they needed to do was follow through.

Two jeeps drove over from the distance and stopped in front of Yu Yuan and the others.

True to being a child raised in the wasteland, Jieni immediately hid behind his mother the moment he saw strangers appear. He hugged Larr's thigh and timidly poked half his head out to cautiously peer at them.

Yet there was also a trace of curiosity in his eyes.

And behind him were four adorable, tiger-headed Nizi Water Arrow Turtles.

Seeming to react to Jieni's emotional shift, they all retracted their heads and legs into their shells, becoming true "shell-dwellers."

Zhou Yuan brought his people down from the vehicles and ran over to Yu Yuan.

"Leader!"

Yu Yuan nodded slightly and said to Simon and the other three:

"This is Zhou Yuan, the Chief Executive of this world. Get acquainted with him. From now on, if you need anything in this world, just communicate directly with Zhou Yuan."

Zhou Yuan nodded gently, showing a smile, and said:

"That's right. Everyone, from now on, just come to me directly if you need anything."

"Alright, let's get in the vehicles and take a look at this world together."

Everyone got into the vehicles, and the four Nizi Water Arrow Turtles were also carried on board by the accompanying soldiers.

As a result, two soldiers were immediately sprayed in the face with turtle spit.

This left Zhou Yuan and the others momentarily stunned.

Only then did they realize that these four little sea turtles were actually Spiritual Creatures, and they instantly dared not underestimate them.

Inside the vehicle, Zhou Yuan pointed to a nearly completed building not far away and said:

"Leader, that's the newly built Mealworm Breeding Research Institute, covering a total area of three thousand square meters. The functional zones are tentatively set as research laboratories, artificial climate chambers/controlled breeding rooms, breeding and preservation rooms, breeding workshops, feed processing and storage rooms, primary processing workshops..."

"These are all preliminary and can be adjusted and changed at any time..."

Yu Yuan pointed at Dale, whose face was already beaming with excitement, and looked at Zhou Yuan.

"Professor Dale will be the director of the Mealworm Breeding Research Institute from now on. For the specific internal layout requirements, you can coordinate directly with Professor Dale."

"Understood!"

The group then headed to the High-Energy Automated Farm.

Glamour Elves and Morning Dew Sprites were already waiting there.

"Leader!"

They boarded the internal farm shuttle and began inspecting the current state of the farm.

It could be seen that the farmland, which had once been barren, was now covered in lush green rice seedlings. These seedlings had already grown to over ten centimeters tall.

Stretching for several kilometers, it was a sea of green.

Magnificent and full of hope.

In the farm's rice paddies, a few fully automated weeding robots and self-propelled sprayers could also be seen. Based on data monitored by inspection robots, they performed targeted weed removal and precision pesticide application for seedlings affected by pests and diseases.

The Glamour Elf elder, in charge of the High-Energy Automated Farm, was briefing Yu Yuan on the situation.

"Leader, our farm is now fully connected to a sensor network. Soil sensors can monitor soil moisture, temperature, pH levels, and nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content at any time.

Microclimate sensors can monitor temperature, humidity, light, rainfall, and wind speed within the area in real time.

Crop sensors on the inspection robots can analyze crop health, pest and disease status, and water conditions using multispectral cameras.

All this data is integrated by the farm management AI, enabling comprehensive monitoring, growth simulation, yield prediction, and pest and disease early warning across the entire farm. This helps us stay on top of the crops' growth conditions at all times."

The Glamour Elf elder had clearly done his homework—or rather, he was exceptionally dedicated to his work on the farm.

His race inherently had a natural talent and interest in planting and cultivating crops.

Now, with the support of this automated farm, it was like a fish in water or a tiger with wings.

It could be said that the crops had grown to their current state in such a short time.

Part of it was due to the High-Energy Automated Farm, but the Glamour Elves had also invested tremendous effort.

Their contribution was undeniable.

Yu Yuan, through Zhou Yuan's reports, was already well aware of this information.

He fully acknowledged the Glamour Elves' efforts.

And the Glamour Elf elder was still introducing the farm's conditions, growing more and more excited as he spoke.

His demeanor was just like an agricultural scholar eager to show off his achievements.

It seemed that as long as these crops could grow and be harvested successfully, that was his greatest joy and interest.

Infected by his enthusiasm, even Little Jieni looked at those green crop seedlings with curiosity.

"We also have seeding robots, harvesting robots, automated logistics systems, pollination robots, on-site transport vehicles, farm drone systems, irrigation pipeline inspection robots..."

Amidst the Glamour Elf elder's lengthy and detailed explanations, the group crossed the crop area and arrived at the flower cultivation zone managed by the Morning Dew Sprites...
