Chapter 18 Storage Upgrade, Material Reserves
As the ranch grew larger, Su Chen discovered a new problem.
There isn't enough storage space.
The hay warehouse was pitifully small; it was full after being stuffed with fifty bales of hay.
The remaining hundred or so hay bales could only be piled up in the open, and if it rained, they would all get moldy.
The tool shed was also in complete chaos.
Excavator parts, repair tools, and hand tools are all mixed together.
It takes forever to find a wrench.
The supplies storage room was in an even worse state.
It's just a small cubicle in the corner of the livestock shed.
Pet food, cattle feed, mineral supplements, and first aid medicines were all packed together.
There wasn't even a place to put your feet down.
Su Chen decided to upgrade all the storage facilities.
He went to Mike first and asked if he could take on another job.
Mike had been working with him quite smoothly lately, and nodded without saying a word.
"Mr. Su, what do you suggest we do?"
Su Chen took out the blueprints and explained his plan.
The hay warehouse needs to be expanded from 200 square meters to 500 square meters.
Install ventilation, moisture-proof, and fire-proof equipment.
Shelves need to be set up inside, and the bales of straw should be stacked in layers with the bottom raised to prevent them from getting damp.
An exhaust fan was added to the roof, a moisture-proof layer was added to the walls, the ground was hardened, and drainage ditches were dug.
The tool shed needs to be rezoned.
Divide the tools into machine tool area, hand tool area, and repair tool area, and store them according to category.
Each section is equipped with shelves and tool cabinets.
A tool board is hung on the wall, so frequently used tools can be seen at a glance and picked up quickly.
We should just build a new storage building; it doesn't need to be too big, 100 square meters will be enough.
It is divided into several zones.
Pet feed area, cattle feed area, mineral supplement area, first aid medicine area, building materials area.
Each section is placed on shelves, categorized, and labeled.
Mike calculated the construction period and cost.
"The expansion of the hay warehouse will take seven days and cost approximately 25,000 yuan."
"Tool shed renovation, two days, 5,000."
"Build a new supplies storage room, five days, 15,000 yuan."
"Forty-five thousand in total."
Su Chen nodded.
"Okay, let's get started."
The construction team arrived the next day.
The expansion of the hay warehouse was the first project to begin.
The workers demolished the old wall and expanded the area to the east by 300 square meters.
The structure includes a steel frame, color steel plate walls, an insulation layer on the roof, hardened ground, and drainage ditches.
The ventilation system is equipped with large industrial fans installed on the roof and walls, which can quickly expel moisture and heat.
The dehumidification system is an automatic dehumidifier that starts automatically when the humidity exceeds the set value.
The fire protection system consists of smoke detectors and dry powder fire extinguishers, which can detect fires in a timely manner.
Su Chen stood in the expanded warehouse.
The space is now large enough to run a horse, and it is fully equipped with ventilation and moisture-proof equipment.
The hay bales can stay here for a year without spoiling.
The renovation of the tool shed was also carried out simultaneously.
Juan and Luis first moved everything out of the tool shed and piled it on the open ground.
The construction team came in and divided the tool room into three areas, each equipped with shelves and tool cabinets.
The machinery and tools area contains large items such as excavator parts, generators, and water pumps.
The shelving is made of heavy-duty steel and has a strong load-bearing capacity.
The hand tools area contains shovels, hoes, sickles, and hammers.
A toolboard is hung on the wall, and each tool has a fixed location.
The maintenance tool area contains electric welding machines, cutting machines, and grinding machines, along with workbenches and bench vises.
After everything was finished, Su Chen asked Juan and Louis to sort the tools and put them on labels.
Juan looked at the neatly arranged tool shed and sighed.
"Boss, this makes finding tools much easier."
"It used to take forever to find a wrench, but now I can spot it at a glance."
Su Chen smiled.
"Efficiency first."
The supplies storage room is newly built and is located next to the hay warehouse.
A 100-square-meter bungalow, brick-concrete structure, with insulated walls, a waterproof roof, and a hardened ground.
It is divided into five areas.
The pet food area contains the food for Blackfalcon and its companions.
The shelves are mainly stocked with meat and dog food, neatly arranged.
In the cattle feeding area, concentrate feed and roughage are provided.
Concentrated feed is a protein supplement, while roughage consists of hay and silage, which are stored separately.
The mineral supplement section contains various trace element supplements, such as calcium powder, phosphorus powder, and salt blocks.
The emergency medicine area contains medications recommended by the veterinarian.
Anti-inflammatory drugs, hemostatic agents, deworming drugs, and vaccines are all stored in the refrigerator.
The building materials area contains commonly used building materials such as wire, iron stakes, water pipes, and electrical wires, for emergency use.
Each area has shelves and labels, making the items easy to see.
Su Chen even bought a large refrigerated cabinet and placed it in the emergency medicine area.
Used to store medicines and vaccines that require low-temperature preservation.
The temperature is set at four degrees Celsius and is kept constant.
After everything was settled, Su Chen had Juan and Louis take stock of the supplies.
"How long will the fodder last?"
Juan flipped through the notebook.
"There are 120 tons of silage and 200 bales of hay in the hay warehouse, enough to feed the cattle for a month and a half."
"What about concentrated feed?"
"We have ten tons of protein supplements, enough to last for two months."
"Where's the medicine?"
"We have a full range of emergency medications, including anti-inflammatory drugs, hemostatic agents, deworming medication, and vaccines. It's enough for three months."
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction. With ample supplies, he felt much more at ease.
He also contacted Luke and the veterinarian Ben, and arranged for them to supply the goods regularly.
Luke delivers concentrated feed and mineral supplements once a week.
The veterinarian comes once a month to perform disease checks and replenish medications.
In this way, the supply chain for goods is established, and there is no need to worry about shortages.
Su Chen formulated a set of material management regulations and posted them on the door of the material storage room.
Warehouse entry registration: All materials entering the warehouse must be registered, clearly stating the name, quantity, date, and supplier.
Outbound record: All materials must be signed upon receipt, clearly stating the purpose, quantity, and recipient.
Regular inventory checks: Conduct an inventory check once a week to verify the stock and replenish any shortages promptly.
Regular inspections: Check the expiration date and storage conditions of medicines weekly, and dispose of expired medicines promptly.
Su Chen put Hu An in charge of supplies management.
This kid is meticulous and has a good memory; he's perfect for this job.
Juan patted his chest and assured him.
"Don't worry, boss. I'll keep an eye on the supplies for you. There won't be any problems."
Su Chen patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, it's up to you."
After the storage upgrade was completed, Su Chen stood at the entrance of the supplies storage room, looking at the neatly arranged shelves, and felt quite satisfied.
If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.
For a ranch to develop, logistical support must keep pace.
We now have ample hay, feed, medicine, and tools.
Even in the event of an emergency, it can last for one or two months.
Su Chen returned to the main house, sat in the study, and opened the system panel.
Ranch Status Overview
[Main House: Completed]
[Livestock shed: Completed]
[Fence: Completed]
[Grassland: Under Improvement (90% Complete)]
Storage facilities: Completed
[Supplies: Ample (enough to meet 45 days of operational needs)]
Su Chen turned off the control panel, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh.
Infrastructure is complete, security is complete, ecology is halfway done, and storage is complete.
Next, it's time to make money.
