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

Luke's agricultural supply delivery truck arrived at the ranch unloading area on time.

Two large trucks, one loaded with desulfurization improver and organic fertilizer, and the other loaded with grass seeds and auxiliary materials.

The workers jumped off the truck, lifted the tarpaulin, and began unloading the goods.

Juan stood to the side with the list, counting each bag as it was unloaded.

Three hundred bags of desulfurization modifier, each weighing fifty pounds, totaling fifteen thousand pounds.

Six thousand pounds of well-rotted sheep manure organic fertilizer were packed neatly in woven bags.

One hundred and twenty bags of salt-tolerant grass seeds were placed separately for ice grass, alkaline cogon grass, and alfalfa.

Old Tom walked out of the warehouse, squatted down, and opened a bag of desulfurization improver.

I grabbed a handful, rubbed it in my hands, and then brought it close to my nose to smell it.

"The quality is good, the granules are uniform, and there are no clumps."

He opened another bag of grass seeds, poured them out, and examined them carefully.

"The germination rate should be quite high."

Su Chen arranged for all supplies to be stored in the newly built dedicated area of ​​the supplies storage room.

Juan and Luis, along with temporary workers, made over a dozen trips back and forth, stacking everything in place.

Old Tom walked around the supply room.

I only feel at ease when I confirm that everything is categorized, stored, and clearly labeled.

All supplies have arrived.

Old Tom called everyone together for a brief construction briefing.

He stood at the door of the storage room, holding the construction drawings in his hand, and explained the process again.

Deep plowing, applying desulfurizing agent, rotary tillage and mixing, spreading organic fertilizer, sowing, and irrigation.

The six processes must be carried out in the correct order.

The construction standards for each process are clearly explained.

"The deep plowing depth must reach 40 centimeters; if it's too shallow, it won't break through the hardened layer, and the salt and alkali won't be suppressed."

"Use 100 pounds of desulfurizer per acre, spread it evenly, and make sure there are no gaps or piles."

"Rotary tillage should be carried out at least twice to thoroughly mix the soil amendment with the soil."

"Two tons of organic fertilizer per acre, followed by rotary tillage."

"The seeding rate is 15 pounds per acre, and the soil covering is one to two centimeters thick."

"Water the bottom thoroughly at the end, and keep it moist for the first seven days."

Old Tom would write down each item he mentioned on the blackboard on the wall with chalk.

Su Chen clearly defined the division of labor:

Juan manages machinery, Louis manages labor, and Old Tom manages technology.

The three of them each had their own responsibilities, and they reported any problems directly.

Juan went to inspect the tractor, deep plow, and rotary tiller, checking the engine oil, filters, and blades.

Louis brought temporary workers to clear stones, wires, and debris from the construction area and level the ground.

Two verification officers from the Land Administration Bureau drove to the ranch.

One was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing glasses and holding a GPS device.

The other was a young woman, holding a folder and wearing a work ID around her neck.

Su Chen and Old Tom accompanied him to the western wasteland to identify the boundary on site.

Old Tom took the old topographic map, compared it with the actual terrain, and pointed out the positions of the four corners one by one.

Verification personnel used GPS equipment to measure the area and pinpoint the location accurately.

The final data showed 301.7 acres, which basically matched the figure on the property certificate.

The young woman took photos for her records and recorded the coordinate data on a form.

The middle-aged man signed and stamped the verification receipt.

The land ownership is confirmed to be undisputed, its boundaries are clear, and it can be legally developed.

"Mr. Su, all the paperwork is complete. You can start work now."

The middle-aged man handed the receipt to Su Chen.

Su Chen took the receipt and announced on the spot:

"The Sunset Ranch saline-alkali land improvement project has been officially launched."

Juan jumped onto the tractor and started the engine.

The tractor's diesel engine roared to life, spewing out a plume of black smoke from its exhaust pipe.

He shifted gears, the deep plow fell, and the blades dug into the hardened soil.

The tractor drove forward, and the deep plow cut and turned over the hard soil layer.

The lighter-colored subsoil underneath was turned to the surface.

The soil compaction was so severe that the tractor's engine load increased significantly.

The black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe was much thicker than usual.

Old Tom followed behind the tractor, squatting down to check the depth of the plowing.

He took a measuring tape out of his pocket and inserted it into the turned-up ditch to take a measurement.

"It's still five centimeters short, adjust it a little deeper."

Juan stopped the vehicle, adjusted the angle of the deep plow, and restarted it. This time, the soil was turned up even deeper.

Old Tom measured it again, and it was exactly forty centimeters.

"Let's do it this way."

Louis, along with two temporary workers, was clearing stones and discarded wire from the construction area.

This land has been abandoned for twenty years. Although the surface is bare, a lot of debris is buried in the soil.

Several people took shovels and rakes and picked up the large rocks and rusty wires that had been turned over, piling them up on the edge of the field.

Ling Feng, monitoring from high above, spotted several wild deer peering out in the distance and let out a low cry as a warning.

Black Fang immediately led his team to rush over and chased the wild deer away.

Su Chen stayed on site the whole time, following the tractor again and again.

The deep turning must be even, with no missed hard lumps or blind spots.

He inspected the area along the tractor's route, and if he saw any sections that hadn't been properly turned over, he would have Juan go back and finish them off.

The first day of construction has ended, with approximately sixty acres of land deep-plowed.

Old Tom checked more than a dozen points and found that the compacted layer had been broken up and the soil condition was obviously loose.

Juan drove the tractor back to the tool shed.

I checked the oil and fluid levels, as well as the wear on the blades.

The blade is not worn much and can still be used.

He filled the fuel tank with diesel and checked the oil dipstick; everything was normal.

Louis cleaned up all the tools he had used that day and put them away properly.

Emma created a construction log to record the day's construction time, progress, machinery status, and weather conditions.

She created a document on her computer and updated it daily for easy reference later.

Su Chen checked the water pressure of the spiritual spring and confirmed that the irrigation pipes were usable.

The water pump at Lingquan Well is operating normally, there are no leaks at the pipe joints, and the nozzles are working properly.

Old Tom reminded everyone to start applying the desulfurization improver the next day.

Everyone is required to arrive early to avoid delaying the schedule.

Su Chen planned to complete all the land improvement work in ten days.

Deep plowing for three days, followed by desulfurization and rotary tillage for two days.

Organic fertilizer takes two days, sowing takes two days, and irrigation takes two days.

The timeframe is tight, but no step in the process can be omitted.

We'll start applying the desulfurizing agent tomorrow; that's a crucial step in the improvement process.

Whether the alkali can be suppressed depends on that hurdle.

.......

At dawn, everyone was on duty.

Juan drove the rotary tiller to re-cultivate the plot of land that had been deeply plowed the day before.

The rotary tiller's blades rotate at high speed, breaking up and refining the large clods of soil that are turned up, making the soil particles more uniform.

Old Tom directed the temporary workers to evenly apply the desulfurization improver according to the standard amount.

One hundred pounds per acre, no more, no less.

Temporary workers carried fertilizer spreaders on their backs and walked through the fields.

The soil amendment was sprayed out of the nozzle and landed evenly on the soil surface.

Su Chen followed behind, checking the effect of the application.

He noticed an area that was noticeably lighter in color than its surroundings.

I walked over, squatted down, and touched it; there wasn't enough improver.

"Let's watch this again."

The temporary worker went back to re-sprinkle the seeds, and Su Chen only continued forward after confirming that the standard had been met.
