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

The cubicles are more spacious than the breeding area, with each cubicle measuring 30 square meters, enough for the cows to move around freely.

The cubicle is equipped with an automatic feeding trough and a constant-temperature water trough.

The feeding trough is connected to the feed bin outside.

The drinking trough is directly connected to the Lingquan spring pipeline.

Su Chen checked the water temperature and flow rate of the water dispenser.

The water temperature is kept constant at 15 degrees Celsius, and the water flow is gentle, so it won't choke the cows.

The third area is the calf isolation and nursery area.

It is located at the westernmost part of the maternity ward, farthest from the outside world.

This area is completely enclosed.

The wall is five centimeters thicker than other parts of the wall.

The insulation layer was thickened, and double-layer insulation panels were installed on the roof.

The cubicles are not large, each about ten square meters.

However, there are many of them, eight in total, enough to nurse eight calves at the same time.

Each compartment is equipped with an independent temperature control system.

The temperature can be adjusted individually, making it suitable for calves of different ages.

Su Chen said to Mike:

"The ventilation system for the conservation area needs to be installed separately, under negative pressure, so that air can only enter and not exit."

Mike pointed to the pipes in the roof.

"The opening has been made; the fan will be installed tomorrow."

The fourth section is the sperm collection room and storage room.

Next to the breeding area, there is a separate small house.

The walls are made of solid bricks, with insulation boards on the outside and waterproof and moisture-proof treatment on the inside.

The collection room is divided into two rooms, one inside and one outside.

The outer room is the operating room, which contains sterile operating tables and disinfection equipment.

The inner room is the collection area, with non-slip rubber mats on the floor and restraint racks installed on the walls.

The storage room is even smaller, only five square meters, but it has the highest equipment requirements.

Su Chen ordered a professional-grade refrigerator.

The temperature is kept constant at four degrees Celsius, and it has a backup power supply and a temperature alarm.

The storage room was designed to block out light, and all the windows were sealed off.

Only one ventilation opening was left, and a filter was installed.

Old Tom walked in from outside and went around each of the cubicles.

"The size is sufficient, but the fence needs to be raised. The breeding bulls are strong, and ordinary fences won't hold them back."

Su Chen asked Mike to raise the railing from 1.2 meters to 1.5 meters and increase the thickness of the steel pipe wall by 2 millimeters.

The negative pressure ventilation system has begun installation, with fans mounted on the roof and ducts running to each compartment.

When he came to inspect the equipment, he used an anemometer to measure the airflow at several vents and then smelled the air.

"The airflow direction is correct; it's only inflowing and not outflowing."

"The number of air exchanges is sufficient; the hourly air exchange rate meets the standard."

Su Chen inspected the airtight door.

Each door is made of steel, covered with a layer of stainless steel, and filled with insulation material.

The door frame is fitted with rubber sealing strips, so when the door is closed, it seals tightly, preventing even light from getting in.

Each door is locked individually, and only Su Chen has the key.

Emma held the notebook.

Register and compile a complete list of the area, function, and equipment for each region.

"The breeding area has four compartments, each 20 square meters."

"The maternity and breastfeeding area has twelve cubicles, each 30 square meters."

"The conservation area has eight cubicles, each ten square meters."

"The collection room is 15 square meters, and the storage room is 5 square meters."

She reported the numbers to Su Chen, who nodded in confirmation.

The walls were all made with smooth, rounded corners.

There are no right angles, and no blind spots.

Mike had the workers use a grinder to round off the corners of the wall.

I applied two more coats of epoxy resin paint, which is waterproof, moisture-proof, and easy to clean.

The ground has been sloped with varying elevations.

The wastewater slopes outward from the compartment, allowing it to flow into the drainage ditch on its own.

The drainage ditch was covered with a stainless steel grate.

The gaps in the grate are just big enough for water to pass through, but a cow's hoof can't get in.

Black Fang patrols outside the breeding area.

They chased away the few curious foxes that had gathered around.

Lingfeng monitors the surrounding ranches from high above.

Several cars passed by in the distance, but none of them got close.

Su Chen walked outside the breeding area and checked the overall progress.

The walls are finished, the roof is half-built, and the interior facilities are still being installed.

He walked to the feed silo, opened the door, and took a look.

The feed silo is small, about 20 square meters.

Enough for half a month's worth of feed specifically for breeding cattle.

The warehouse has been treated to prevent moisture.

The floor was raised and a dehumidifier was installed on the wall.

Su Chen instructed Hu An to crush the premium fodder and store it inside.

The grass is shredded into small pieces two centimeters long to make it easier for the breeding cattle to digest.

The feed silo was locked separately, and Su Chen kept the key himself.

The water dispenser is fully installed, with automatic water supply, constant temperature, and overflow prevention.

There is a drain plug at the bottom of the tank. You can open it during cleaning to drain the water.

Su Chen tried them one by one.

The water flow from each water tank is normal, and the water temperature is constant.

Black Fang found a spot outside the breeding area and lay down.

Its head is facing the entrance, and its ears are perked up.

Lingfeng circled twice above the breeding area.

It landed on a poplar tree and stared at the movements below.

With the main structure completed, the equipment installation phase has begun.

Su Chen stood at the entrance of the breeding area, looking at the brand-new buildings.

The four functional areas have been completed.

......

The next day, the equipment supplier's vehicle arrived at the entrance of the ranch.

The truck was carrying a constant temperature air conditioner, a negative pressure fan, an air filtration system, and a bunch of pipes.

As usual, Su Chen had all vehicles pass through the disinfection pool first.

The entire outer packaging of the equipment was sprayed with disinfectant.

The equipment supplier sent two technicians to install it.

Su Chen had them register their identities and sign a confidentiality agreement before leading them into the breeding area.

Temperature-controlled air conditioners are installed in the maternity and nursing areas, one unit in each area, with independent control.

The technician drilled a hole in the wall and hung the indoor unit.

The outdoor unit is placed on a cement platform outside the breeding area.

Secure it firmly with expansion bolts.

Su Chen stood by and watched, waiting for the technician to turn it on and test it after the installation was complete.

The air conditioner was turned on, and the temperature at the air outlet quickly dropped to the set value.

Su Chen measured several points with a thermometer, and the temperature fluctuations were very small.

The calf nursery has underfloor heating installed, with the water pipes buried underground.

Concrete was poured on top, and then a layer of rubber mat was laid on top.

The technician performed a pressure test and found that the water pipes were leak-free, the circulation pump was working normally, and the ground temperature was uniform.

The refrigerator for storing spermine solution has also arrived; it's a professional-grade medical refrigerator.

Temperature is controlled between one and four degrees Celsius, with temperature display and alarm functions.

The technician placed the refrigerator in place, leveled its four feet, and then powered it on for testing.

The refrigerator starts up, and the temperature slowly drops from room temperature to four degrees Celsius.

Once it stabilizes, the compressor is almost inaudible.

The backup power source is a diesel generator.

They are placed in a dedicated machine room outside the breeding area.

For use only in breeding areas.

The technician pulled a cable.

An automatic transfer switch was added between the generator and the distribution box in the breeding area.

Su Chen had the technicians simulate a power outage.

When the mains power is disconnected, the transfer switch automatically switches to the generator.

The whole process took less than a second, and the equipment did not stop.

The automatic feeding system has begun installation.

The system includes a feed tower, a conveying pipeline, and feeding troughs in each compartment.

The feed tower is placed next to the feed silo and can store three tons of feed.

The conveying pipeline starts from the material tower, runs along the top of the wall, and branches into each compartment.

The feeding troughs are metered.

On the control panel, Su Chen set the amount of kilograms to be fed each time, and the feed was automatically dispensed at the designated time.

Su Chen tested it and set a trial run of two kilograms.

The delivery pipeline is started, and feed flows from the feed tower to the feeding trough.

It weighs exactly two kilograms, with very little error.

An automatic manure scraping system is installed on the floor of each compartment.

It is a stainless steel chain with a scraper.

When the set time arrives, the motor starts and the chain rotates.

The scraper pushes the feces into the drainage ditch, where it flows into the harmless treatment pool with the water.

The manure scraping system operates independently, without passing through the clean passage area, and the manure never touches the ground.

Su Chen checked the operating trajectory of the manure scraping system.

The scraper runs close to the ground, leaving virtually no residue.

All the escape prevention railings have been heightened and reinforced.

It is 1.5 meters high and the steel pipe wall is 3 millimeters thick.

The solder joints are polished smooth and free of burrs.

Su Chen pushed it with his hand, but it didn't budge.

After the equipment was installed, it was time to install the security system.
