Chapter 61: Oddities · Small Mine Seed!
The military base in the eastern suburbs of Bai City has now entered a state of Level One alert.
Not only are there sentries and patrols in place, but even the soldiers and patrol teams are equipped with live ammunition! However, no matter how strict the defenses of the eastern suburban military base are, to Xu Zhengyang, who possesses two different functional future Combat Suits, their defenses are no different from paper.
...
According to the information recorded in Bai Kaiyuan's computer.
Inside the eastern suburban military base, there is a giant Vertical Farm led by him, covering a total area of six thousand square meters! Achieving complete internal circulation in such a large Vertical Farm is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
Because of this.
Every day, the eastern suburban military base has to purchase feed from Bai City to raise various livestock in the Vertical Farm.
With Da Bai's help.
Xu Zhengyang found it easy to locate the feed supplier for the eastern suburban military base.
At five in the morning.
Xu Zhengyang arrived at the feed supplier for the eastern suburban military base.
Immediately after.
Xu Zhengyang activated the Optical Camouflage Function of his Combat Suit and directly attached himself to the chassis of the supplier's delivery truck.
The goods had been loaded the day before.
At six-thirty in the morning.
As soon as the driver started work, he opened the truck compartment to verify the quantity of the feed.
After confirming everything was correct.
The driver hummed a tune and drove towards the eastern suburbs.
...
After more than an hour of bumps, Xu Zhengyang finally arrived at the Bai City military base along with the delivery truck.
The entrance inspection at the eastern suburban military base is very strict.
Cockpit, cargo compartment, roof, undercarriage...
After two engineers with handheld devices conducted a thorough scan of the delivery truck and confirmed there were no issues, others began unloading the goods.
I must say.
The efficiency of unloading at the military base is very high.
In just ten minutes, the entire truckload of feed was unloaded.
"You can go back now," a guard said to the truck driver.
"See you later."
The truck driver politely replied and immediately drove away.
"Take these to the Vertical Farm," the guard said before turning to leave, handing over the matter to them.
...
A group of soldiers dressed as cooks pushed a large cart, and after passing through multiple checks, they finally brought the truckload of feed to the Vertical Farm.
After about an hour.
Once these soldiers had cleaned the pens and fed the livestock.
They then pushed the empty cart out.
For these soldiers, this is just part of their heavy daily work.
But for Xu Zhengyang.
His Dimensional Space Pocket had already accumulated over fifty pounds of mature rice! *Two hours later.
The moment Xu Zhengyang's left foot stepped into the shelter's area, familiar system subtitles appeared before his eyes: [Main Quest: Parent Seeds (Completed)]
[Reward: Building Effect · Flourishing]
...
[Building Effect · Flourishing]
[Effect: When your Vertical Farm is operating normally, all plants within the Vertical Farm receive a 25% growth speed bonus]
"Not bad."
Xu Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction after seeing the attributes of this building effect.
The growth cycle of rice is generally around 120 days, but with this new building effect, it can mature in just 90 days! Not only rice.
The maturation cycles of other vegetables and fruits in the Vertical Farm will also be shortened.
"With the Flourishing building effect, the overall yield of the Vertical Farm can be significantly increased!
In a while.
Even if I set aside an area to raise some medium to large livestock like sheep and cows, it will be enough!"
After saying this.
Xu Zhengyang opened his task list to check the latest main quest:
[Main Quest: Rebar Production Workshop (In Progress)]
[As the area of your shelter expands, your demand for rebar increases.
To ensure the expansion speed of the shelter, please build a rebar production workshop within the shelter.]
[Task Objective: Rebar Production Workshop (Workshop area no less than 100 square meters; minimum daily output no less than 30 tons; capable of producing all common sizes of rebar within the range of 6mm to 32mm)]
[Task Reward: Oddity · Small Mine Seed (Iron)]
After reading the task details, Xu Zhengyang was momentarily stunned, his gaze completely drawn to the oddity called mine seed as the task reward.
"Could it be that planting this thing will yield a whole iron mine?" Xu Zhengyang said with anticipation.
After saying this.
Xu Zhengyang immediately gave Da Bai an order, saying, "Da Bai, set aside a 100-square-meter workshop for me; I need to build a rebar production line within the shelter.
The production line must have a minimum daily output of no less than 30 tons; it should be able to produce all common sizes of rebar within the range of 6mm to 32mm!"
"Understood, Master."
As soon as Da Bai agreed, Xu Zhengyang's phone received several information links.
At the same time, Da Bai explained to Xu Zhengyang based on that information, "The technical content of rebar is not high; there are seven rebar manufacturers in Bai City.
However, due to the recent downturn in the real estate industry, currently, four of the rebar factories are on the verge of closing down.
Based on my screening.
This company called 'Dongsheng' has a boss named Kou Dongsheng whose son has leukemia and is urgently selling the factory to raise funds for his son.
If you go to find him, you can reach a purchase agreement in the shortest time possible!"
After saying this.
Da Bai placed the information about Dongsheng Rebar Factory at the top.
"Then it's this one. You first control the Engineering Robot to build a production workshop in the shelter!"
Xu Zhengyang said, and after clicking the link, he directly dialed Kou Dongsheng's phone:
"Hello, is this Boss Kou?"
...
"I heard you want to sell your rebar factory; I happen to be interested."
...
"I'm not joking.
Boss Kou, are you at the factory now? Can we discuss it in person?"
...
"Okay, I'll head over right now; I'll be there in an hour!"
...
After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhengyang changed his clothes and drove directly to Dongsheng Rebar Factory.
*An hour later, at Dongsheng Rebar Factory.
Kou Dongsheng is forty years old.
As the saying goes, a man at forty is in his prime.
But because of his son's condition, Kou Dongsheng's face is filled with exhaustion, and even his temples have turned white from worry.
Where is the charm of a man in his forties?
When he received Xu Zhengyang's call earlier, he initially thought Xu Zhengyang was a scammer, after all, the real estate market has cooled down in recent years.
Would anyone really come to buy a rebar factory? But he really needs money now.
So even knowing it might be fake, he still came to the factory with a "what if" mindset.
"Creak—"
As a small 50 mini stopped outside the factory gate, Xu Zhengyang got out of the car and greeted him, "Are you Boss Kou?"
