“Yes!”
Hearing his na called, Adalbert reported to Ian proficiently, “Recently, I helped the local Alchemy Workshop to breakthrough in creating the ‘High-Energy Crop Nutrient Solution,’ which is actually a prototype of the ‘Radiance Grass Nutrient Solution’ that you requested, Ian.
However, it’s a specialized fertilizer and differs sowhat from the ‘Hydroponic Solution’ you requested, so we’ve been focusing on this issue recently.
After taking water samples from Dazzling Lake, we have achieved so results.”
“The water from Dazzling Lake is rich in Origin Quality and rare minerals, which are the primary conditions for the growth of Radiance Grass; minerals are essential for its growth.
As long as we can analyze these minerals, the initial hydroponic solution can be considered developed!”
In Terra, due to the prosperity of Alchemy, the concept of the ‘Hydroponic Solution’ proposed by Ian is not unfamiliar to Alchemists.
Rather, many of them have experience in soilless cultivation of so plants.
Not to ntion, with so Spirit Energy, Sublimation Plants naturally grow well in water without soil.
On Earth, the hydroponic solution has a formula; different plants require different concentrations and nutrients.
If Adalbert and Ambur can develop the first-generation experintal product, then Ian can soon perfect it into a complete form.
“The biggest problem is still the lack of arable land.”
This was Scott’s report; after summarizing all the data ntioned previously by Ian, he couldn’t help shaking his head, “Though conditions in Xiahui City are good, the Radiance Grass areas are still too few, and they restrict the city’s developnt—the sea of flowers has completely blocked the urban district.
If we want to expand production in the future, we have to develop a New City District.”
“And even so, the city and Radiance Grass areas are competing for the precious areas near Dazzling Lake rich in Origin Quality…
Sir, this is a big problem.”
“I understand.”
Ian set down the docunt he was holding, nodding slightly, “Theoretically, there shouldn’t be a city around Dazzling Lake.
This area is a concentration of Origin Quality; it would be best if it were all farmland.
But that’s not feasible; Origin Quality-rich areas also benefit human bodies, and people are more important.”
“But the problem isn’t too significant—because the most crucial cultivation conditions for Radiance Grass are the concentration of Origin Quality and so rare minerals, which can all be t without soil.
And as for the concentration of Origin Quality…
it’s a three-dinsional distribution process, in other words, even mid-air has plenty of Origin Quality and Spirit Energy Fields.”
“Since there’s not enough land on the ground, let’s build skyscrapers to produce!”
Ian had spoken about this concept many tis.
The so-called Hydroponics Farm, fundantally, is a technology that provides nutrition for plants to grow through water without using soil.
In Ian’s previous life on Earth, it was a very mature technology, widely used in various Space Cities and satellite colonies, utilizing space very efficiently.
Dazzling Lake itself could provide a vast amount of initial water source, making it an excellent base for hydroponics.
But aside from the farm itself, there are many technologies that need to be conquered.
Such as air circulation, nutrient solution circulation, artificial sunlight irradiation cycles; all require intelligent AI to manage—for now in Terra, although there is AI, it has not yet been developed by Ian; in the anti, he could allow so trained growers to operate manually.
The effect would be the sa.
Because temperature, humidity, sunlight exposure, and nutrients can be stably controlled, crops in the hydroponics farm can mature faster and better than regular plantations, potentially halving the growth cycle and increasing yield.
In terms of cost, although the initial investnt is quite high, it will reduce afterward.
And due to multi-story buildings, the utilization rate of the surrounding Origin Quality environnt of Xiahui City is higher, and the maturity rate is also higher—for example, in the original Leyan City, not every acre might have a fully mature Radiance Grass, but in the hydroponics farm, an acre might yield one or two plants!
Thus, possibly a single building containing nearly twenty acres of land could produce almost fifty acres of yield.
Just build a few more to scale up, and the available Radiance Grass farmlands could increase by a fraction!
This represents a net profit of tens of thousands of Talles.
Compared with such earnings, the costs are practically negligible.
Keep in mind that the entire Leyan Territory only has about five thousand acres capable of cultivating Radiance Grass…
if all the volutric space in these areas, applying soilless cultivation technology, considering the cost, growth cycle, and maturity rate, then production might even increase four to five tis in an optimized calculation!
That is to say, the total profits of the territory could reach from six hundred thousand to a million Talles!
Of course, that’s the best-case scenario, unachievable in experintal labs.
Realistically, as long as the annual GDP reaches three hundred thousand Talles, the territory could provide enough returns to Ian—not to ntion, Armor Suits can be easily assembled and disassembled, and materials for the Third Energy Level could also be expected.
Of course, this is also due to the strong foundation on the side of Dazzling Lake; if it were another less fertile territory, Ian would rather go hunting, do quests, or scam research funds than opt to manage it.
