Chapter 49: Fully Automatic Intelligent Greenhouse
A sturdy and beautiful greenhouse stood before them, as if it were a miracle they had created in this desolate world.
Li Feifei and Li Qingxuan exchanged a smile, pride and joy shining in their eyes.
They knew this greenhouse would provide them with a stable food source, adding a layer of security in their harsh environment.
"Qingxuan brother, we succeeded!" Li Feifei shouted excitedly, her voice full of excitement.
Li Qingxuan also showed a relieved smile, he patted Li Feifei's shoulder and said: "Yeah, we succeeded. Let's use the Fully Automatic Intelligent Scroll here, after all we two don't have time to tend to these crops every day."
Li Feifei took out from her backpack the Fully Automatic Intelligent Scroll emitting a soft silver-white glow.
"It's you." Li Feifei's gaze filled with anticipation, she aimed the scroll at the brand-new greenhouse before her.
With a thought from him, the scroll instantly turned into a condensed silver flow of light, like a spirited silver snake, swiftly and precisely entering the main structure of the two greenhouses.
Hum—
A low, prolonged humming sound rose, as if some precision instrument had been activated.
Next, an astonishing change unfolded before their eyes: the two greenhouses gradually drew together, and on the surface of their originally sturdy metal frames appeared a denser silver-gray energy grid, like a coating of liquid metal armor, visibly raising the structural stability of the greenhouse by a notch.
Numerous mechanical arms extended from between the steel frames, neatly arranged atop the steel framework.
At the same time, faint blue energy lines lit up at the joints, support points, and beneath the ground, spreading like plant roots throughout the greenhouse and instantly filling the space.
Inside the greenhouse's arched ceiling, countless tiny, nearly invisible nozzles quietly opened.
Accompanied by a faint hiss, a layer of transparent energy membrane as thin as a cicada's wing formed silently inside the ceiling, perfectly conforming to the curved surface.
Li Qingxuan and Li Feifei immediately noticed that the greenhouse's previously steady temperature, similar to the fortress's lower level, became even more precise and uniform, as if every corner were in optimal growing condition.
Li Feifei's panel also simultaneously displayed the current temperature and humidity values, and could be adjusted at any time via the panel.
On the soil surface inside the greenhouse, at the intersections of the silvery-white water pipe network, fine silver spray nozzles rose silently, the pipe network extending outward until it connected to the Spirit Spring.
These nozzles flexibly adjusted their angle, simulating fine droplets of natural rainfall.
A virtual water reserve (0%) and irrigation planning setting function appeared on the panel.
The ceiling's energy membrane began shifting colors and brightness, instantly simulating the light intensity and spectrum of dawn, noon, dusk, and even, according to settings, the soft diffused light of overcast or rainy days.
The panel clearly displayed the current light intensity, spectral band, and daylight duration settings.
In a corner, a warehouse quietly expanded; on the inner wall near the entrance, energy lines converged like silver threads, finally condensing into a palm-sized silver metal panel.
This panel linked in real time with Li Feifei's virtual panel, serving as the control hub and information display for the entire intelligent greenhouse.
The whole process was silent yet efficient, full of futuristic technological beauty. When the last trace of silver light faded, the greenhouse seemed to be reinfused with vitality, renewed.
It retained its original sturdy appearance, but inside it brimmed with technological vigor and vibrant life.
The air was filled with a carefully regulated freshness ideal for plant growth.
"Heavens... oh my god!" Li Feifei covered her mouth, eyes wide open, deeply shaken by this miraculous transformation before her, "This... this is it? Fully Automatic Intelligent Greenhouse? Too... too unbelievable! It feels like a scene from a sci-fi movie has been brought to life!"
Li Qingxuan's eyes also flashed with astonishment and satisfaction.
He reached out and lightly touched the cold metal panel of the nearby control hub, which clearly displayed the greenhouse's various environmental parameters, including temperature, humidity, light intensity, and carbon dioxide concentration, among other key indicators.
He moved his finger slightly, trying to set the light mode to 'Dusk Simulation', and the light inside the greenhouse instantly became soft and warm, like the afterglow of sunset spilling down.
"That's right, it's done." Li Qingxuan's voice carried a hint of relieved excitement and strong achievement, "From now on, we just need to plant the seeds, and the greenhouse will automatically set the optimal environmental parameters for crop growth—watering, temperature control, light adjustment—all handled by the system! No more worrying about crop care."
He looked at Li Feifei, his face breaking into a relaxed, hopeful smile: "Feifei, this is what a true greenhouse should be! With it, in this icy snowy world, we essentially possess an everlasting spring."
Li Feifei's face also lit up with a smile as she summoned her panel, which now featured a brand-new interface—the Intelligent Control Interface—containing functions such as light settings, temperature regulation, irrigation settings, planting, harvesting, crop status, etc., enabling management of every aspect of the greenhouse; beside Li Qingxuan's shelter interface, the same interface also appeared.
Li Feifei took the seeds from her backpack and placed them in the greenhouse's dedicated planting box for seed storage and cultivation; the seed types were wheat, rice, lettuce, and carrot.
"What should we plant first?" she said, flipping through the seed packets while opening the 【Planting】 option on the panel's Intelligent Control Interface. The interface was clear and friendly, dividing different planting zones in schematic diagrams, each zone marking the recommended crop type and required environmental parameters.
"Wheat and rice are staples, lettuce and carrot grow quickly—let's plant those first," Li Qingxuan suggested, also studying the control hub, "Plant the wheat in the inner area, and the lettuce and carrot on the outer side for easy observation and harvesting."
"Good!" Li Feifei replied. She selected the wheat and rice icons on the Intelligent Control Interface, then framed a plot of inner land on the map area. At the moment she confirmed, something miraculous happened!
Several mechanical arms on the nearby framework silently glided over; one arm dexterously picked up the wheat seed bag from the planting box, collected the seeds into the sowing chamber, and the tip extended a precision seeding device's probe.
Only see the probe precisely puncturing consistent deep holes in the soft soil, each plump wheat seed accurately falling into its hole.
Next, another mechanical arm carrying a soil-cover plate slowly extended, gently backfilling and compacting the soil.
The rice seeds, however, were sent into the planting box for cultivation, awaiting completion before planting.
The whole process flowed smoothly, precise and efficient, with not a single seed wasted or misplaced.
