I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

"Not worth mentioning?"

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's Versailles-esque reply, Liu Jianye's lips twitched again.

Good heavens, they've turned a county road into a highway! And you call that "not worth mentioning"?

If you were given free rein to do something big, would you be planning to build an airport in the village, directly connecting to Zhongnanhai?

But I may have my own complaints.

The scene before them had completely piqued the interest of Liu Jianye and Commissioner Ma.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Commissioner Ma got straight to the point.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, we saw on the way here that your village's fields are very neatly planned. We'd like to visit your agricultural demonstration area first, is that alright?"

"sure!"

Jiang Chen smiled and made a "please" gesture, personally leading the way.

The group, in a grand procession, passed through the village and arrived at the boundless fields at the east end of the village.

At this moment, on the ridge of the field, Third Grandfather Jiang Wanhai stood there with his hands behind his back.

The old man specially changed into a brand new dark blue Zhongshan suit today, with every button fastened tightly.

His weathered face carried an unprecedented seriousness and solemnity.

Her gray hair was meticulously combed.

His back was straight as a javelin.

In his hand, he also held a black, professional-looking walkie-talkie, which added to his air of a composed and expert commander.

Jiang Chen pointed to his third grandfather and introduced him to the leaders beside him in a very respectful tone.

"Secretary Liu, Commissioner Ma, this is Mr. Jiang Wanhai, our chief agricultural technology consultant for Jiangjia Village."

"Although my third grandfather is old, he has very progressive ideas, especially in high-tech agriculture, where he has a deep understanding."

Upon hearing this, both Liu Jianye and Commissioner Ma wore expressions of deep respect.

They quickly stepped forward and offered their hands.

"Hello, sir! You've had a long journey!"

Looking at Jiang Wanhai's robust physique, Liu Jianye asked curiously.

"Sir, how old are you? You look so energetic, do you still use a computer?"

My great-uncle couldn't even figure out how to use a smartphone, let alone a computer.

The walkie-talkie in his hand only had one button that worked: the power switch.

However, when faced with the leader's questions, the third grandfather did not show the slightest panic on his face.

He merely glanced at the leader indifferently, then gave a knowing "hmm" through his nose.

Then, under the spotlight of everyone.

Third Grandfather raised the hand that was holding the walkie-talkie.

With a ceremonial gesture, he pressed the only bright red button on top.

The instant he pressed the button!

"Buzz—!!"

A tremendous roar, like a swarm of bees leaving their hive, suddenly rang out!

All I could see was at the edge of the field.

The twenty agricultural drones, which had been specially painted with tan paint for camouflage, started their engines at the same time. The propellers under their wings spun rapidly, creating a strong airflow that sent grass clippings flying everywhere!

The next second, twenty drones took off in perfect unison!

They quickly formed a formation in mid-air, like a group of well-trained aerial soldiers, hovering above everyone's heads!

Despite their tan color, the sleek lines and powerful design still exude a strong sense of cutting-edge technology!

Everyone present, including Liu Jianye and Commissioner Ma, subconsciously looked up at the sky, their faces filled with shock!

And this is just the beginning!

Third Grandfather Jiang Wanhai still maintains his aloof and solitary demeanor as a master.

His fingers tapped rhythmically a few times on the walkie-talkie (actually, in the air).

Of course, everyone assumed he was issuing some complicated instructions.

In fact, backstage, Su Qing was skillfully starting the pre-set performance program on her computer.

"Form up, change formation!"

With a deep, resonant shout from the Third Grandfather.

The drone formation in the sky has moved!

They seemed to come alive, weaving nimbly through the air and drawing graceful arcs.

After a while, they formed a perfect "V" shape, like a flock of wild geese flying south.

A moment later, it quickly spread out again, turning into a neat and tidy "I"-shaped long snake formation!

Finally, amidst gasps of amazement, the twenty drones, after a dazzling series of flight maneuvers, formed a giant and clearly defined Chinese character in the azure sky—

"Farming!"

This scene is truly visually stunning!

Just as everyone was still immersed in the shock, the Third Grandfather issued another "instruction".

"Activate 'Sweet Rain' mode!"

All that could be seen was that sophisticated spraying devices extended from the tails of the twenty drones simultaneously.

Fine, mist-like plant nutrient solution was sprayed evenly from the nozzles, covering the entire field.

Sunlight refracted through the mist, creating a rainbow of colors.

A magnificent rainbow appeared out of nowhere above the farmland, as if a fairyland had descended!

The county agricultural bureau experts following behind the group were completely dumbfounded.

The professional camera in his hand clicked away like a machine gun, as if afraid of missing any detail.

"My God! This...this flight control technology is incredibly precise!"

The expert's voice trembled with excitement.

"And the spraying precision! Every drop of nutrient solution is precisely calculated! This...this is even better than the latest model we imported from the US at a huge cost!"

Hearing the experts' exclamations behind him, Third Grandfather Jiang Wanhai slowly turned around.

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the magnificent rainbow and the huge "农" (farm) character in the sky, a serene expression of someone who had seen through the vanities of the world on his face.

He spoke slowly and calmly, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Farming doesn't require much knowledge."

"It's about following the natural order, respecting the land, and making a little bit of use of technology."

"This old man's meager skills are just... a little bit, a little bit."

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Liu Jianye was the first to lead the applause!

Immediately afterwards, thunderous applause resounded for a long time along the ridges of the field!

Every gaze directed at Third Grandfather was filled with heartfelt admiration and respect!

In his entire life, my great-uncle had never received such treatment.

To be looked at with such admiration by so many high-ranking leaders.

He was so excited that his whole body was trembling, his old face turned red, and he almost couldn't even bite down on his dentures!

He suppressed his inner elation and tried his best to maintain his image as a "reclusive sage".

At this moment, after this dual baptism of sight and mind, Liu Jianye and Commissioner Ma developed an even stronger interest in the ultimate target, the "abnormal heat source" detected by the satellite!

Commissioner Ma's eyes became more fervent than ever before.

"Sir, the agricultural development in Jiangjia Village has truly broadened our horizons!"

"We're becoming increasingly curious about your food processing plant that's currently under construction!"
