Inheriting a dilapidated ranch in North America, he became a billionaire through animal taming and t

Emma leaned over to take a look.

"It's located on high ground, well-ventilated, and far from public areas."

"The spring water can be drawn directly here without having to share pipes with other herds of cattle."

"I'll go take a look."

Su Chen put on his coat.

Emma and Ben followed them out the door.

The three people walked along the Lingquan irrigation canal.

It took about ten minutes to walk through two rotational grazing areas to reach our destination.

Su Chen stood in the middle of the plot of land, looking around.

The ground is flat and slopes slightly to the south, so drainage should not be a problem.

The soil is sandy loam, neither too soft nor too hard when stepped on.

To the north is an earthen slope that blocks the northwest winds in winter.

The east and west sides are covered with low shrubs, which naturally form a buffer zone.

[Shallow scan in progress]

Soil structure: Sandy loam, medium density

Groundwater level: 7.2 meters deep, no risk of water accumulation.

[Void Detection: None]

[Landslide Risk: None]

[Recommendation: Suitable for lightweight buildings; foundation needs to be hardened to a depth of 30 cm]

Su Chen withdrew his gaze and said to Emma:

"Measure it with a ruler; what are the length and width?"

Emma ran back to get the measuring tools.

He squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, and kneaded it.

"The soil is good, well-aerated, and doesn't accumulate water after rain."

Brush off the soil.

"If you're building a cattle shed, make the foundation a little higher to prevent moisture."

Old Tom drove his pickup truck from a distance.

I stopped the car at the edge of the plot and jumped out.

"Su Chen, what are you doing here?"

"We want to build a closed breeding area here, specifically for raising top-grade breeding cattle."

Old Tom stomped his feet on the ground and looked around at the terrain.

"This is a good location."

"The terrain is high, the wind comes from the south, and there is a slope to the north to block it, so it is not cold in winter."

"It's far from the highway, so no one will bother us."

He pointed to the bushes to the east.

"Clear that patch of bushes, put up a fence, and add a gate, and it will be a natural enclosed area."

"Outsiders can't see inside at all."

Su Chen nodded.

"I plan to divide it into four zones."

"A breeding area, a gestation area, a calf isolation area, plus a sperm collection room."

Old Tom thought about it.

"It's best to leave a passageway between the breeding area and the nursing area so that the cattle don't have to take a long detour when moving them."

"Clean passages and dirty passages must be separated. Feed should enter through the clean passage and excrement should exit through the dirty passage. Do not mix them."

Emma returned with a measuring tape and a notebook.

Juan and Luis followed behind.

The four of them spent half an hour measuring the length, width, and height of the entire plot of land.

Emma squatted on the ground and drew a sketch, marking the size and location of each area.

"The breeding area is located on the east side, next to the main water pipe of the Lingquan Spring, for convenient water access."

"Place the gestation and nursing area in the middle, with the largest area, to give the cows enough space to move around."

"The calves are placed in the innermost quarantine area, furthest from the outside world, making it the safest."

"The sperm extract collection room is located next to the mating area for easy operation."

Su Chen looked at the sketch.

"Only one entrance will be left open; all other entrances will be closed."

"Unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from entering."

He added, "The epidemic prevention standards should be set high."

"Three zones and two disinfection procedures, full changing of clothes upon entry and exit, and ideally, a fully enclosed negative pressure system."

"Air only goes in and doesn't come out, so even if there are germs inside, they can't spread outside."

Su Chen took out his phone and called Mike from the construction team.

"Mike, I have a new job. Come over tomorrow to check out the site and give me a quote."

Mike agreed on the phone, saying he would arrive early the next morning.

Su Chen hung up the phone and went to his study to look through the ranch's financial statements.

After the money for the premium beef arrived, the account balance was still over sixteen million US dollars.

The budget for building a closed breeding area is at most three or four hundred thousand, which is well within our budget.

Black Fang emerged from the bushes, ran around the plot of land, and then ran back to sit down at Su Chen's feet.

Wolf Pack Patrol Report

[Site Selection and Surrounding Area: No Large Wild Animal Nests]

No signs of frequent sightings.

[Security Level: High]

Lingfeng circled twice in the sky and let out a short cry.

Su Chen looked up.

Ling Feng flew higher and higher, covering an area of ​​one kilometer in radius.

[High-altitude reconnaissance report]

[Surrounding area: No outsiders present]

No suspicious vehicles were found.

[No signs of voyeurism or peeping]

Su Chen said to Emma, ​​"Designate this land as a confidential area and update the confidentiality agreement."

"From now on, all documents related to the breeding area will be encrypted and archived."

Emma wrote it down in her notebook.

Su Chen then said to Hu An:

"Tomorrow, you will take some men to clear away the weeds and rocks from this area and level the ground."

"Don't go into too much detail, just get the basics down first."

Juan nodded.

"clear."

Louis took out a measuring tape and checked the length and width of the plot again to confirm that Emma's sketch dimensions were correct.

Su Chen looked at the route of the spiritual spring pipe.

The breeding area is less than 50 meters away from the main pipeline, so a branch pipe can be connected.

"The water for the breeding area is supplied separately, with a branch piped off from the main spring water supply and equipped with an independent valve."

"It does not share the pipeline with ordinary cattle."

Ben added from the side:

"It's best to make the water troughs temperature-controlled, as breeding cattle are sensitive to water temperature and are prone to diarrhea if they drink cold water in winter."

Su Chen wrote it down and then thought about the circuit.

The breeding area is far from the main house, and it would be too far to run a line from the main house to it.

A separate distribution box needs to be installed, and a dedicated line needs to be connected from the ranch's main transformer.

The surveillance system also needs to be installed separately, not connected to the public monitoring screen, and the images will only be transmitted to Su Chen's mobile phone.

Old Tom finished his cigarette and stomped it out.

"Su Chen, there's one more thing."

"The breeding cattle area must be protected from wind, sun, and the disturbance of the herd."

"The building materials must be soundproof. If it's too noisy in the cowshed, the breeding cattle won't be able to stay there, which will affect their reproduction."

Su Chen nodded.

"Building materials should include thermal insulation and soundproofing panels, the floor should be treated with anti-slip material, and all railings should have rounded corners and no sharp edges."

The next morning, Mike arrived at the ranch with his tools.

Su Chen led him around the plot of land and explained the requirements and plans.

Mike crouched down and looked at the soil.

Then, I used a level to measure the height difference on the ground.

"Mr. Su, the land conditions are good, and the construction difficulty is not high."

"The foundation will be 30 centimeters thick and hardened, the walls will be made of insulated sandwich panels, and the roof will have an insulation layer. The entire project will take about twelve days."

He took out a calculator, pressed a few keys, and quoted a price.

After listening, Su Chen realized the price was about the same as his budget and didn't haggle.

"Okay, we'll sign the contract tomorrow, and start work right away."

"Use all building materials that are corrosion-resistant, moisture-proof, and easy to disinfect; don't skimp on them."

Mike patted his chest and guaranteed it.

"Don't worry, I'm a hard worker and I won't cut corners."

[System notification: Breeding facility planning completed]

[Completeness: High]

[Recommendation: Expedite construction to improve breeding efficiency of cattle]

Su Chen turned off the panel and took one last look at the plot of land.

Black Fang lay prone at the entrance to the plot, while Ling Feng circled in the sky.

Site selection, planning, budget, and construction period have all been finalized.

We'll sign the contract tomorrow and start work the day after.

The closed breeding of breeding cattle can no longer be delayed.

.......

The next morning, Mike's construction team arrived at the ranch entrance.

Three construction vehicles lined up in a row, with trucks carrying building materials following behind.

The truck was loaded with steel bars, cement, insulation boards, and a bunch of tools.

Su Chen was already waiting at the entrance, next to a temporary disinfection pool.

"All vehicles must first pass through the disinfection pool, where the tires and chassis must be sprayed."

Mike turned and shouted to the workers:

"Did you hear me? One at a time, don't rush."
