Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 312 Earth Vein Energy: A Renewable Resource That Can Be Developed?

Xu Yue found Guo Huai's suggestion quite interesting, and he talked about it with Zhang Ruoxi when he got home.

"An environmental protection company?"

Zhang Ruoxi was somewhat surprised, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but nod.

Who says farming methods are limited to planting and animal husbandry?

Didn't they use rural methods as an air conditioner in their villa?
It also repels mosquitoes and freshens the air.

Using traditional farming methods for environmental protection and pollution control is a perfect match for our expertise!
Couldn't the Turbidity Removal Formation cure the pollution?
By injecting minerals into aquatic plants such as reeds, water hyacinths, duckweed, and cattails used for wastewater treatment, their quality can be improved, thus significantly enhancing the treatment effect.

There’s a lot to be done!
The key is that it benefits society, the country, and oneself.

"That's great!" Zhang Ruoxi said. "The Turbidity Removal Formation isn't very difficult; Guo Tianyou and the others can easily set it up. Also, cultivating some aquatic plants to treat sewage isn't difficult either. The Spirit Infusion Formation isn't even as difficult as the Turbidity Removal Formation."

"I'll talk to Tian Yizhi about it later."

Xu Yue smiled and nodded; he undoubtedly thought it was a good idea as well.

Actually, he didn't need to look for Tian Yizhi.

Tian Yizhi quickly approached Xu Yue.

The one who couldn't wait the most wasn't Xu Yue, but Guo Huai.

So as soon as he got back, he went to find Tian Yizhi.

And what about Tian Yizhi?
Upon hearing this, he thought it was excellent and immediately approached Xu Yue.

"Really?"

Tian Yizhi looked at Xu Yue and asked.

"That's really something," Xu Yue said. "Do you think it's necessary?"

“Yes!” Tian Yizhi said, “Although it doesn’t earn as much as the farm, it’s very meaningful.”

There are many environmental protection companies, but there are probably very few that focus on environmental pollution control, environmental remediation, and ecological restoration.

"Then you and Guo Huai discuss it!" Xu Yue said. "How about naming the company Taoyuan Environmental Protection?"

Tian Yizhi naturally had no objection to this.

After chatting for a while, Tian Yizhi said goodbye and left.

He is too busy.

After all, they rented land in two more villages to grow medicinal herbs.

"I looked at the environmental protection company's business scope, and one of them is quite interesting: the development and utilization of renewable energy," Zhang Ruoxi said to Xu Yue with a smile. "Solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, etc. Do you think the earth's energy counts as a renewable resource?"

When Xu Yue heard this, he was stunned.

What does she want to do?

Zhang Ruoxi's question suggests she doesn't care whether the earth's energy is a renewable resource.

“As long as the earth still exists, the earth’s energy can be regenerated,” Xu Yue said. “This is also why the formations of the Farmers’ School can borrow the earth’s energy and have an inexhaustible supply.”

The amount consumed is the amount that can be regenerated.

Moreover, it is a benign form of exchange.

If the earth vein energy is generated in a spiritual land, then it is naturally better than the earth vein energy generated in a barren land.

"Do you think the earth's energy is a renewable resource that can be developed and utilized?" Zhang Ruoxi asked, "like solar energy, wind energy, and hydropower."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yue fell silent.

He had actually guessed that Zhang Ruoxi would ask this question, but he really hadn't considered it.

“Some of the formations and even some supernatural abilities of the farmers are undoubtedly the development and utilization of the earth’s energy,” Xu Yue said. “However, whether it can be utilized with technological means like solar energy, I don’t know. But I’ll ask Academician Meng and the others later to see if they can study it.”

“Wouldn’t it be perfect once the Agricultural Technology Academy is built?” Zhang Ruoxi said. “It’s a combination of agriculture and technology. Imagine if we could develop an engine powered by the earth’s energy and put it in a car. As long as it runs on the ground, it wouldn’t need gasoline or electricity.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yue's lips twitched.

He had to admire Zhang Ruoxi's imagination.

On the ground, we can use the earth's energy to power things. Why don't you imagine that airplanes in the sky can use the wind? And ships in the water can use the water's power?

During the day, solar energy can be used; at night, it can be used for rest.

"You really dare to dream!" Xu Yue said with a smile. "If an energy source really could replace oil, I reckon the world would be in turmoil."

“There has never been peace in this world,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “But tell me, is it worth studying?”

"worth!"

Xu Yue nodded. He couldn't deny that if a machine could be developed to transform the earth's energy, it would definitely be beneficial.

At least we won't have to worry about energy.

As for whether it would trigger a world war, that was not a question Xu Yue was considering.

Is that possible?

Xu Yue thought it was still possible.

Steam engines are powered by water vapor, so why can't we invent an engine powered by earth energy, using the earth's veins?

It's just very difficult.

If we use technological means, it might be better to study using water to replace oil. However, if we combine some of the methods used by farmers, there may still be hope.

Although the chances are not very high, it is still worth studying.

Moreover, the application of the earth's energy is not necessarily limited to those aspects.

It can also be used for other purposes.

The formation for Gaogang Village continued to be set up, and Guo Huai was naturally present as well.

As for the environmental protection company, Guo Huai didn't intend to get involved; at most, he would be responsible for solving the technical problems.

For example, you could set up a purification array or a spirit-infusing array, and then cultivate some sewage-cleansing plants.

The establishment of the environmental protection company was naturally none of Guo Huai's concern.

He wasn't interested either.

Before the formation of the array in the fields of Gaogang Village was even finished, Xu Yue received a call from Academician Meng, asking him when he would go to the desert.

After the reservoir's formation was set up, Xu Yue mostly watched Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji set up the formation.

Guo Huai was not idle either; he also set up many formations.

He can completely wash his hands of the remaining matters in Gaogang Village.

"Are you going to the desert? How long will you be gone?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue, having expected this, and felt no sadness at the separation.

We're together all the time, but when we're apart for a while, there's always a surprise when we meet again.

Besides, Xu Yue is just taking a look; he's not going to leave and never come back, and he probably won't stay for very long.

"Pack your things, we'll go tomorrow," Xu Yue said. "If nothing unexpected happens, we should be back in a few days at most."

"Be careful!"

Zhang Ruoxi nodded and offered a reminder.

Xu Yue is now likely in the sights of many foreign powers, and even the eyes of many countries.

The Peach Blossom Farm alone was enough to get the fourth-level experts from Little Red Dot's side to take action, let alone the even greater value that Xu Tao has demonstrated now.

Desert farming!
Let alone desert planting, it would be amazing if we could even green the desert.

Nowadays, it's not just the big countries in the Middle East that are facing the threat of desertification.

Even the only superpower on the other side of the strait faces the threat of the desert.

The northern country is also facing desertification.

It is easy to imagine how valuable someone who can turn a desert into fertile land is.

"I'm too afraid to even fly, am I not being careful enough?"

Xu Yue smiled and shook his head.

Flying in the sky, one's fate is not in one's own hands.

He can't fly now, so if anything happens to the plane, he'll surely die.

It wasn't that Xu Yue was cowardly, but he felt that the people who wanted him dead, the forces that wanted him dead, and even the countries that wanted him dead, were definitely not just one or two.

Don't expect them to have any bottom line.

They would stop at nothing to kill Xu Yue, given the chance.

Is this just needless worry?
No!

It's not that Xu Yue thinks he's some kind of genius.

Those were what Jing Guohua said.

Of course, the chances of a plane crashing were extremely low, but Xu Yue didn't want to take the risk.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with driving there. Although it's far, with Xu Yue's current cultivation level, he probably wouldn't get too tired even after driving for several days and nights.

Safety first.

"Can one fly through the air in the Four Realms?"

Zhang Ruoxi suddenly asked a question.

"I don't think so," Xu Yue said. "Those in the four realms of martial arts cultivation and spiritual cultivation definitely cannot fly."

Yan Tian was at the fourth level of martial arts cultivation, while Zhang Zhixuan and the others were at the fourth level of spiritual cultivation. However, Xu Yue knew that they could not fly.

It should be possible to briefly stand in the air.

"Where can I borrow a ritual implement?"

Zhang Ruoxi continued to ask.

Her cultivation has been steadily improving, and reaching the fourth realm is not out of reach. She's already glimpsing the third realm. Although she's only just glimpsing it, she shouldn't be far from touching the threshold.

Moreover, Xu Yue is now only one step away from the fourth realm; all he needs is an opportunity.

"I don't know!" Xu Yue said. "Anyway, we don't have such a magical artifact. Whether others have it or not, we don't know."

Those who cultivate martial arts and spiritual cultivation cannot fly, and those who cultivate Qi should be in the same boat.

As for ritual implements?

His knowledge is limited now.

All told, Xu Yue has only seen a few magical artifacts so far.

"I'll clean up myself, please sit down!"

Zhang Ruoxi got up to pack Xu Yue's things, but Xu Yue stopped her.

If his parents find out about this, he'll be in big trouble.

Zhang Ruoxi is pregnant with twins, and her pregnancy is becoming increasingly obvious. The pregnant women who are about to give birth have bigger bellies and are already having some difficulty moving around.

Zhang Ruoxi didn't insist, but she offered her advice from the sidelines.

What to bring and what not to bring, but don't forget to bring these things.

The next day, Xu Yue drove alone to the desert.

Guo Tianyou and his son were not invited this time.

They won't get into any trouble, especially since the formation in Gaogang Village isn't finished yet.

The journey was leisurely and uneventful.

Xu Yue returned to the desert farm, only to find it had undergone a complete transformation.

Putting aside other things, the infrastructure has improved a lot.

At least I don't have to drive a long way to live in the city anymore.

The farm's offices and accommodations have been completed.

However, there are still some areas that need improvement.

"What's the problem?"

Xu Yue looked at Xu Wei and spoke.

It had been a while since I'd seen Xu Wei, and he seemed to have gotten a bit darker.

However, she looked much more capable.

"It's alright!" Xu Wei said. "If there are any difficulties that I can't solve, I will naturally ask the head office for help."

What is the biggest difficulty here?
That is water, of course.

But this problem was already solved before.

They built many water pools in the desert, so how could they not have places to live and work?
Another major problem is probably electricity.

However, by this time, wind power generation had already been installed, which was enough for their electricity needs.

Even people from telecommunications companies came to install wireless base stations.

Here, not only can you make phone calls, but you can also access the internet without any problems.

As for other questions?

He believes he can solve the problem himself.

If everything has to be solved by the head office or the boss, then what is the point of it?
"Where are Academician Meng and the others?"

Xu Yue nodded, then asked.

“They should be at the seedling nursery,” Xu Wei said. “The rice seedlings are doing well; now it’s just a matter of whether they can survive in the desert. However, Academician Meng said they’ll be perfectly fine in our deserts. As for other deserts, we’ll need to conduct experiments.”

Xu Xing never doubted this statement.

This reflects not only the trust placed in Xu Yue by a national-level agricultural expert like Academician Meng, but also his confidence in Xu Yue.

“The fruit trees planted in the desert have a very high survival rate,” Xu Wei said. “Or rather, 100%. Of course, I’m referring to the desert areas we’ve contracted.”

Have those fruit trees been tried in other deserts?

Xu Yue was not surprised that the desert, which was covered by array formations, was surviving.

“We’ve tried it!” Xu Wei said. “Academician Meng and his team tried it, and the survival rate was quite high. However, it was irrigated with the water from our farm. The survival rate was somewhat lower when irrigated with other types of water.”

Irrigation with spiritual rainwater is naturally different from irrigation with other water.

This is nothing surprising.

"In addition, the survival rate of the poplar trees we grew in our lab is quite high," Xu Wei said, "even when irrigated with ordinary water."

Xu Yue nodded, listening to Xu Wei's words as he headed towards the seedling nursery.

Why conduct such an experiment?
It's all for the sake of widespread adoption.

Those magical rains are clearly not meant to be widely available.

Ok?
As Xu Yue walked into the seedling nursery, he suddenly felt the scent of seeds mixed with the scent of the desert enter his body. Instantly, his internal energy surged and converged towards his dantian.

The second realm involves opening up the dantian and qi sea to cultivate true qi.

In the third realm, true qi is condensed and transformed into true essence.

True essence is formed when true qi is concentrated to a certain degree.

It is not only larger, but also more stable and more controllable than true qi.

Xu Yue's true essence had become so concentrated that it was difficult to advance even an inch further.

The next step is the qualitative change of true essence, which condenses into a pill in the dantian!
Xu Yue's surprise flashed briefly as his true essence stirred.

How similar they are!
His breakthrough from the second realm to the third realm was triggered by the cultivation of monkey head mushrooms and morel mushrooms.

He broke through to the third realm by taking advantage of those auras.

Now, breaking through from the third realm to the fourth realm is almost the same thing.

Desert farming!

Does this mean that all future breakthroughs will depend on this situation?
What's happening here?
To create?

To create what no one has ever done before.

A fresh perspective is needed to create an opportunity for a breakthrough.

In ancient times, there was certainly no artificial cultivation of lion's mane mushrooms and morel mushrooms.

In ancient times, rice was certainly not grown in the desert.

I'll be back in a bit!

Xu Yue said something to Xu Yue next to him, and then slipped away.

He needs a relatively quiet place to make a breakthrough.

Although his breakthrough was a natural progression, unlike Guo Tianyou and others who needed special elixirs as a precaution.

Of course, the necessary preparations have been made.

He had a lot of ginseng in his car.

However, this was not the reason he was in such a hurry to leave.

The breakthrough will come naturally; there's no problem.

The problem is that the bronze token in his sea of ​​consciousness moved.

Xu Yue obtained the bronze token, which was accidentally activated by a drop of blood. The token entered his brow and, after receiving many inheritances, he never felt it again.

It's as if it's vanished.

But now, Xu Yue is feeling its presence again.

His breakthrough to the fourth realm seemed to have reactivated the bronze token.
