Chapter 1148: The Matriarchs of the Desert Farm

With abundant cultural foundation, there should have been more cultural products.

But so far, aside from Splendid World, other cultures have little influence internationally.

It feels a bit self‑indulgent.

Severely lacking transformative power.

Yang Zhangfeng feels that making good use of Qiongzhou's cultural and entertainment industry will be an important chance for traditional culture to go international.

So he accepted the job without hesitation.

Watching Yang Zhangfeng leave from outside the courtyard gate, Yang Tian stood for a long time before returning.

Not long after, Zhou Ying also came back.

She already knew that Yang Zhangfeng had come by as soon as she returned.

She sat beside Yang Tian, brewed him some tea, and only spoke after Yang Tian lifted the cup and drank.

"Zhangfeng came?"

Yang Tian turned his head, looked at her, and nodded.

"Yes, he's here to say farewell; he's going to Linshui."

Zhou Ying's body trembled, and she finally asked her question.

"When are you going to Linshui?"

Yang Tian lay on his back, having not spoken for a long time.

"In about two years; Zhangfeng has relinquished all courtyards except Courtyard No. 95."

Zhou Ying seemed to have grasped the point.

"Then should we stay to look after the old residence?"

She thought that reason was well chosen.

Yang Tian scoffed.

"If you don't want to go, no one will stop you; there's no need to make such a lame excuse."

"The Yang Family has no fools."

"I plan to step down after two years; the Jingcheng enterprises will be handed over to the company for management."

Yang Zhangfeng's words made him feel very uncomfortable.

Yang Qing is already an old man, and a stubborn one at that.

Nuo Lan Nuomi has long been deeply tied to the Yang Family, so he has no need to trouble himself.

"Ah…"

Zhou Ying was a bit low‑spirited.

She didn't really want to go to Linshui.

Yang Tian had already made his decision and no longer cared about her.

"Our mother also needs you to take care of her."

"That's unavoidable."

Both fell silent afterwards.

Desert.

He Jin'er, Lin Cuiping and the others trekked across mountains and rivers to arrive in the desert.

But the scene before them was nothing like a desert at all.

Green vegetation was everywhere.

Only after venturing deep into the desert did they discover the vast, endless sands.

Within this desert were numerous funnel‑shaped farms.

Yang Fan and Yang Qihang had been waiting at the gate for a long time.

They saw a group of women.

Both instinctively covered their loins.

They hadn't expected that women they hadn't seen after running for so long would show up at this moment.

And they came together with He Jin'er and the others.

Yang Fan and the other didn't know what rule it was, so they deliberately didn't ask.

Upon seeing He Jin'er and Lin Cuiping, they immediately flattered them earnestly.

The two women, seeing their behavior, didn't want to cause a scene.

So they had no choice but to follow them into the farm.

After entering the farm, they truly felt the grandeur of the Desert Farm.

Such a massive project required enormous funding.

Women are best at accounting; they calculated and felt the investment was a loss.

Yang Qihang still had to explain to them.

"Didn't you notice anything unusual along the way!"

The women felt that aside from the greening and what differed from their expectations, there was nothing else different.

Yang Qihang, uninterested in beating around the bush with them, began speaking directly.

"You should have seen on the road you came, the greening along the way is excellent; it's nothing like a desert."

"Why is it like this?"

"The reason is the Desert Farm."

"Precisely because of them, the surroundings of the desert are lush and green."

Only with them providing enough food can you see the beautiful scenery along the way.

Otherwise, those places would have to farm.

Farming inevitably causes desertification.

Now, with this guarantee, they can focus their main efforts on the economy.

Thanks to desert greening's success, investors here have no worries, and naturally the economy of these places keeps improving.

This is also why you see this place so bustling.

If it were before, the sky would be full of yellow sand here, and you wouldn't see a person even after half a day.

Now we need to solve the food supply problem for several major cities.

So our scale keeps getting bigger.

Those are several huge industrial cities.

To strengthen relations with neighbors.

It is also key to solving transportation cost problems.

Several women quickly understood.

You mean this place will get lively?

Yang Fan nodded.

Yeah, this is an important venue for East-West exchange.

It has great development potential.

Still, there are many doubts.

Where does the water come from? Supplying such a huge city's operation requires an enormous amount of food.

Yang Qihang is not at all flustered.

This is our underground reservoir plan, and this is the cabinet's water resource allocation project.

This is the book on exploiting and using desert groundwater.

In the future, this place will not lack water; it might even produce problems of water resource abundance.

Space, ocean, desert?

Morgan linked all the problems together and thought of many things.

Which one is not a century project?

This is an all-around expansion of living space.

Has Daxia already become this rich?

Or has the Yang Family already become this rich?

Aren't you afraid of losing everything?

Morgan's words startled the others.

Yang Qihang looked at Morgan, and Yang Fan also looked at Morgan.

The others pursed their lips.

Still, the gentle Yang Qihang caught her words today.

What do you mean by losing everything?

It's just that the payback period is a bit longer.

Society is always progressing, especially under new industrial models, we have overcome many difficulties.

Yang Qihang snorted.

In the future, the places humanity can use are only space, ocean, and desert.

If we don't strive for these places, where should we strive?

Moreover, the Three-Dimensional Farm technology of the Desert Farm has already been used in ocean cities and Yueqiu bases.

The technology of the Yueqiu base also drives progress in Desert Farm technology in reverse.

This is a highly complementary research.

Alright, let's not talk about that; let me show you what we've achieved over the years.

Saying that, they took them to see the exhibition hall.

Looking at the advanced farm technology of the Desert Farm, everyone exclaimed in amazement.

I'm afraid that before long, many of our jobs will be replaced by these robots.

So what?

Yang Fan retorted?

By then, many people will be unemployed!

Morgan said it as a matter of course.

Now the farm uses machines on a large scale; look, have we lost our jobs?

Not only have we not lost our jobs, but it has made our lives even more relaxed and enjoyable.

Technology will bring humanity a better life.

Including everything we enjoy now, it's all thanks to technology.
