Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 206 The coming rainy season!
In this way, I have been busy for a whole week, and the time has officially entered the end of October.

The entire dry season has come to an end. Some clues can be seen from the recent increasing temperature difference between day and night. The climate of the entire pasture is about to enter the second rainy season of the year, which is the short rainy season.

In a few days, in November, a rain can start the short rainy season at any time.

Fortunately, taking advantage of this period of time, Huang Zheng's engineering team has completed the concrete pouring of the entire ranch runway's foundation and road surface. It has been the last train in the dry season and has been hardened.

Of course, the so-called short rainy season actually has little impact. Wang Lu also learned from his conversation with Parker that the local rainy season is not the kind of climate where it rains all day long.

It's just that it will rain on time from morning to morning, and the weather will gradually clear up in the afternoon...
Moreover, the precipitation in the short rainy season will be much less than that in the long rainy season. Basically, it will not have much impact on the normal operation of the entire ranch. Even the arrival of the rainy season will bring more benefits to the ranch.

At least the prairie in the southern part of the Woulu Mountains will gradually clear up, and the pastures far away from the areas on both sides of the Dome River will reappear under the moisture of the rain, attracting more wild animals.

The large numbers of wildebeest, gazelles, and giraffes that migrated to neighboring countries during the dry season will gradually begin to migrate back. By then, I am afraid that the number of wild animals in the ranch will have doubled, which will be very beneficial to the legal hunting projects carried out on the ranch.

"Boss, although the rainfall in the short rainy season is not as good as that in the long rainy season, the rainfall is still quite considerable. We have to do drainage work in advance. Otherwise, I am afraid that not only our residence will be affected by dampness, but also the feeling of wetness everywhere. It’s really annoying, and the most important thing is that our crops must be properly drained, otherwise they may be waterlogged to death.”

As the person who knows the local climate best among the ranchers, Parker also gave his own suggestions.

After Wang Lu heard this, he also agreed. There is also the rainy season in China. When he returns to Nantian, the feeling of being wet in the whole house is definitely uncomfortable.

Therefore, Wang Lu followed Parker's suggestion and immediately organized his veterans to carry out a vigorous drainage trench excavation operation.

Of course, Wang Lu didn't just dig randomly. Huang Zheng's engineering team was fully capable of giving professional advice. They even considered the problem of drainage during the rainy season when they helped Wang Lu build a villa and a wine cellar. Corresponding processing has been carried out.

What Wang Lu now wants to solve is the large-scale drainage of the entire living area.

Fortunately, the location of the entire living area is located on a higher ground. However, the terrain in some places is relatively low-lying, and waterlogging may occur. In this case, drainage channels must be dug to direct rainwater to the Dome River. Problem.

Wang Lu only organized his veterans to participate in this work, and did not use Huang Zheng's engineering team at all. At most, he requisitioned the engineering team's concrete mixer truck to pour concrete when reinforcing the drainage channel. It costs nothing.

Even the concrete used was the leftover portion of the airport runway construction and the extra portion of the concrete budget for the new factory building construction, so there was no additional cost.

When Wang Lu and the veterans were working in full swing, Old Wei also reported good news to Wang Lu.

"Boss, after several months of manure storage, composting, and fermentation, the biogas tank in our pasture can already provide biogas to the outside world. As long as the animal manure continues to fall out in the future, it will be completely self-sufficient. There are other gas sources in the pasture. Every place can use biogas!”

Wang Lu also smiled when he heard the news.

I spent a lot of money to build a large biogas fermentation tank in order to provide energy for the pasture.The power line from Baria Town is not stable at all. Not to mention that the electric workers in the town are just decorations. Even the power in Baria Town is often unstable, not to mention Wang Lu’s ranch. Opportunities are all eaten in the dark.

But now with this biogas tank, whether it is lighting or gas, there is no need to worry about a sudden power outage.

"It's finally worth all the shit we've spent all these days in vain!"

Wang Lu also muttered excitedly.

Wang Lu immediately asked his veterans to move out the equipment that had been purchased at the beginning of the construction of the biogas tank, and together with the biogas fermentation tank, biogas was used as the main energy supply for the entire ranch.

Huang Zheng was responsible for all these equipment at the beginning, and the engineering team happened to be at the ranch, so there was no problem in installing it.

Soon, the first flames produced by biogas combustion were lit on the gas stove in the ranch, and the lights in Wang Lu's villa were also powered by the electricity generated by the biogas generator set.

When the supply of biogas gradually increases in the future, the electricity of the entire ranch may be supplied by biogas.

In fact, biogas is very good as an energy source. After all, the cost is quite low. In addition to the initial construction cost, only animal manure and some organic matter are needed in the future.

The most indispensable thing in Wang Lu’s pasture is animal excrement.

Just the cows and sheep that he raises produce a lot of excrement every day. Not to mention the large number of wild animals on the prairie, which can also provide Wang Lu with enough excrement. It just takes some time and energy. Just go and collect.

In fact, Wang Lu even only needs to track the African elephants that often move along the banks of the Dome River. The amount of feces excreted by these guys at one time can be compared to the amount produced by several cattle and sheep combined.

And the first batch of biogas fertilizer has begun to be gradually produced. These biogas fertilizers are natural organic fertilizers and are an excellent choice for growing crops or fruits and vegetables.

The vegetable garden opened in the living area was the first to use this batch of organic fertilizers, and even the biogas slurry produced, Wang Lu also planned to put it into the Dome River to see if it could make the fish fry raised in it grow fatter.

Of course, Wang Lu has also formulated a strict safety system. Fireworks are strictly prohibited around the biogas pool to ensure absolute safety.

After all, safety is no small matter. If something happened, the size of the biogas pool that I built would probably destroy the entire living area.

Of course, Wang Lu had taken this into consideration when building the biogas pool. In addition to building the biogas pool underground, he also took protective measures outside. Generally speaking, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
