Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 438 Planning of new areas
Bai Zhen and Dao Fu talked in detail about the refining of the star crystal metal.

Bai Zhen gave Dao Fu a lot of advice based on his own understanding of star crystals.

Dao Fu wrote down everything, and after eating the rabbit dumplings, he hurried to the processing workshop.

It looks like we should quickly try smelting.

Soon Bai Zhen also received the fifty skewers of the new flavor of rabbit dumplings he had purchased.

Carrying the newly bought paint and rabbit dumplings in his hands, Bai Zhen returned home.

When he returned home, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. Huoya and Shuiyun had already gone to work, and Bai Zhen did not see them either at home or on the farm.

As soon as he put the things on the table, he noticed that there was a breakfast left on the table.

He found Xie Mi, who was lying at home doing nothing, and after asking him he found out that the breakfast was left for him by Shui Yun.

"You looked so angry in the morning, but I didn't expect you to leave me breakfast."

Although he had already eaten outside, Bai Zhen still finished his breakfast.

After dinner, Bai Zhen sent a message to Qishu, saying that he would challenge the Yuanmo Town Gym in three days. He also sent a message to Patch saying that he would go to Yuanmo Town to acquire the satellite factory tomorrow.

Finally, he sent a message to Daigo again, explaining the matter to Kojima.

After finishing all these things, Bai Zhen sent a message to Huoya and Shuiyun, telling them where he was going, and then he returned to the Monster Hunter world.

Flying over Yanhuo Village on the molten bird, Bai Zhen arrived at the land that Puxian and Sui Fengren had given him in the morning.

Looking down from the air, this area is very large, and one third of the area is covered by bamboo forest.

After landing in this area, Bai Zhen carefully inspected the place again and calculated carefully that the area was about 3000 acres, or 2 square kilometers, about 1000 meters from north to south and 2000 meters from east to west.

The rock formation beneath this area is very solid, and it is three or four hundred meters above the coast. From here you can see the end of the sea level at a glance, and you can also turn around and see Yanhuo Village on the opposite bank.

In the Monster Hunter world, land seems to be the least valuable, but that's not the case. At least this piece of land under the protection of the Jade Leaf Fortress is of extremely high value. When this area is fully developed in the future, the land price here will definitely be priceless.

It’s good to be able to get such a piece of land before the development starts.

But this place is not without any problems.

This place is said to be flat, but it has an average inclination angle of about 3 degrees. The highest point and the lowest point of 1000 meters from north to south differ by a full 40 meters in height. If converted into a building, it can probably accommodate a 15-story building.

In addition, the land in this place is indeed as Samantabhadra said, most of the ground is hard rock, which is not suitable for farming at all.

Due to this height difference and poor geological environment, the only way to fill the tilted angle is to use soil.

After thinking it over again and again, Bai Zhen decided to take action first.

This place definitely needs a serious makeover.

Bai Zhen first took out the universal tool and cut down all the bamboos in the range, and also dug out the roots under the ground.

It took Bai Zhen about three hours to clear out a large area of ​​space.

The next step is to modify the slope.

The method adopted by Bai Zhen was also very simple. He planned to use tens of thousands of tons of plain fill soil to fill the slope.

Plain fill refers to natural soil that has been artificially disturbed and transported and filled. It contains no impurities or very few impurities and is generally composed of one or more materials such as crushed stone, sand or silt, clay, etc.

The preparation of plain fill soil is very simple, and Bai Zhen had finished it in a short time.

After getting the raw filling soil, Bai Zhen asked Xie Mi to use his small spiritual world to transport it. After moving it to the rocky slope, Bai Zhen used the universal tool to transform it into a tool to level the ground and filled the soil bit by bit.

Thanks to the 3000% labor-saving attribute of the universal tool, Bai Zhen cleared out a -acre flat land in just one afternoon.

However, after this filling, the slope of the edge and border of this area increased from less than 3 degrees to to degrees.

Just as the sun was about to set, in the distant sky, Huo Ya flew straight towards this side using the wings he had transformed.

Stepping on the yellow soil, Huoya looked around the filled area in surprise.

She had lived in Yanhuo Village since she was a child and was very familiar with the terrain around the village. She was surprised that Bai Zhen had made a major transformation of the terrain here in just one afternoon.

Bai Zhen noticed Huo Ya coming over, he approached and asked, "Why are you here?"

Huoya smiled gently, she raised the bag in her hand and said: "I thought you didn't come back for lunch, you must be very busy. So I came to bring you dinner."

"I ate a lot in the morning, so I didn't go back at noon."

Huoya came at the right time, as he had just finished his work and had the chance to have a meal.

I found a clean rock and sat down facing the sunset.

Huoya naturally sat down next to Bai Zhen. She used a clean towel to gently wipe the sweat off Bai Zhen's face. After putting the towel away, she looked at the completely flattened field and asked Bai Zhen: "How do you plan to arrange this area?"

Bai Zhen thought for a moment and asked Huoya, "How is Ajian and his companions' learning progress? Are they able to build a concrete house by themselves now?"

When the winery was being built some time ago, Bai Zhen sent four Felynx to learn some construction techniques from the construction team.

Those Felynx, Den, and Rei are generally very smart and quickly learned how to build concrete houses.

Although they cannot build high-rise buildings now, they can easily build four- or five-story houses.

They don't need to make building materials from scratch, they can just purchase them directly and they will be responsible for the construction.

The whole process does not have a very high technical threshold, and you can learn and master it by doing it more.

Moreover, Jian already had a lot of experience in construction before learning these techniques. Most of the Felynns in the farm today come from the former Snow Village.

Ajian used to be a craftsman who built houses and bridges for the Felyns in Snow Village. After coming here, the small buildings where the Felyns live now were all built by Ajian and a group of skilled workers.

Bai Zhen had nothing to complain about Ajian's skills and experience.

Now that Ajian has returned from his studies, it is a good opportunity for them to show their skills.

Speaking of the Felyne cats on the farm, Huoya nodded affirmatively and said, "They have learned very well in theory. Some time ago, they used the knowledge they learned from the construction team to help the village expand the inn."

"That's perfect. We'll leave the construction of this area to them. We'll build a house here to receive guests, and move all of Felynx's apartments and farms here. This area is very spacious and convenient for unified management."

Seeing that Bai Zhen was planning to move almost everything out of Yanhuo Village, she asked in confusion: "If everything is moved here, what should we do with the land over there? Sell it?"

It is true that the village is short of land now, but Bai Zhenzhen bought that place with a lot of money. If Bai Zhen sells the land now, it will be a huge loss no matter how you look at it.

Although it is true that she loves her village very much, her status is different now, and she still has to put Bai Zhen’s interests first.

But if we don't sell it, what should we do with it? We can't just build the kitchen there and cook for the cats there every day and then bring the food here, right? That would be a complete waste of time.

Bai Zhen took a bite of the dinner Shui Yun made and said, "Don't worry, I have my own plans over there. I want to build a large research institute over there."

"Research Institute? What are you researching?"

"We can study many things, such as rockets, communications, materials, and monster data. Adian and Alei are in great need of a standard laboratory. The materials they have researched are either tested using the most primitive methods or sent to the materials research institute in our Zhuotai City for testing. The efficiency is too low.

Since we have a lot of money now, we can purchase a batch of relatively basic equipment so that they can complete the most basic tests directly in the laboratory. If we want to test more data, sending it to the research institute in Zhuotai City can save a lot of trouble."

After listening to this, Huoya thought of the simple research environment of Adian and Arei, and nodded out of pity for them.

"That's good too. Their talents deserve more support."

"In addition to the Materials Research Institute, we can also build a research base for studying the universe and satellites. I still hope to develop local technology in Yanhuo Village."

The Space Research Institute must be established. There is a huge difference between the universe here and the universe of the Pokémon world. It is far from enough to rely on just one person and the equipment purchased from the Pokémon world.

Without technology, they couldn't adjust the satellite. After all, Bai Zhen couldn't bring a bunch of scientists from the Pokémon world to study the universe of this world together.

Bai Zhen: "Besides, aren't there more and more scholars settling near our farm? I think it would be better to remove the farm and turn that area into a dedicated research area."

Due to the small area of ​​Yanhuo Village, the scholars lived in different areas of the village.

This can easily lead to the phenomenon of working in isolation. Since it is academic, communication and discussion are also very important aspects.

Bai Zhen told his plan.

"We own nearly 60 mu of land in Yanhuo Village, which is equivalent to 40000 square meters. If we build a ten-story research institute directly on this land, it will definitely attract more academic talents to our Yanhuo Village."

Talent is the primary productive force for development. No matter how many finished products are brought in from the Pokémon world, it is better to cultivate more talents and let them take their existing science and technology to a higher level.

“We really need more scientific research talents now. No matter how talented Adian and Alei are, they are just two researchers. With limited energy, it is difficult for them to innovate quickly.

Moreover, the number of monster species and subspecies in this world has been confirmed to be no less than tens of thousands. This does not include small animals and even smaller insects, which number in the hundreds of millions. It is not something that one person can do to integrate and organize all this information.”

Looking at the sunset, Huoya heard the grand blueprint in Bai Zhen's words.

To be honest, just listening to Bai Zhen's description, she felt very much looking forward to it, but there were also very realistic problems here.

"How much would it cost to build the 4 square meter research institute you mentioned?"

"If you include the construction costs and the modern interior decoration, I estimate the cost will be no less than 50 billion."

"The 5 billion Yanhuo Village doesn't have that much money to build a research institute whose benefits will only be seen in the long run."

"It doesn't matter. I already have a plan and an intention. Since it's such a world-class research institute, we can't exclude the guild."

Huoya used to be the image-holder of the Hunter's Guild, and she knew the operation of the Hunter's Guild very well.

She broke Bai Zhen's fantasy and said, "Many Hunter Guild branches can barely break even, and often need material assistance from local government agencies to operate normally. I don't think they have extra money to invest in you. If you want to find someone to invest, those kingdoms may be the best."

"It would be great if the guild and the kingdom are willing to invest. If not, I will build it myself, recruit scientific researchers, and provide them with funding and research equipment. Of course, the final research results will also belong to the institute. Anyway, I make money very quickly, so I can still get the money to build a large institute."

To build a super-large research institute, the construction period will take at least several years even with very skilled workers.

There is no pressure at all for him to make investments in the past few years.

He now has too many ways to make money.

After listening to this, Huoya felt that this road was full of thorns. It was not about money. She managed the farm every day and she knew best how terrifying the farm's ability to make money was.

Now the market demand and supply are completely unbalanced. Even if the farms are operating at full efficiency, they may not be able to meet even one percent of the total demand.

It would be a huge project to sell those attribute grasses to the entire continent and let all hunters use them.

What she's worried about now are some frivolous political threats.

Bai Zhen came from another world after all. If he excludes some local forces and kingdoms while tinkering with the research institute in such a high-profile manner, then he will be labeled as an invader and everything will be ruined.

Seeing that Bai Zhen had made up his mind, Huo Ya also started thinking about how she could help.

She didn't want Bai Zhen, who had always been thinking about the world, to be criticized as a heretic one day in the future.

Bai Zhen told Huo Ya about his grand ideas. Many of these ideas were just creative ideas. If they were to be implemented, more detailed plans would need to be made and they would have to be more practical. But no matter what Bai Zhen said, Huo Ya did not interrupt him. She waited until Bai Zhen finished speaking before she put forward her own opinions.

An hour later, when Bai Zhen finished his dinner, almost all of his plans had been greatly optimized.

This is probably what is meant by a good wife, right?
