HLM – Chapter 735 Monitoring the Entire Territory

With full mechanized operations, after the rotary tiller cultivated a plot of land, the seeder moved in.

The seeder Wang Bo used was smart and automated, controlled by a small computer. The distance the machine traveled, the depth of each planting hole, and the number of seeds planted could all be controlled through the computer.

In this way, the work that might have required hundreds of people in China to plant a large orchard could now be handled by just two automatic seeders.

The plump fruit tree seeds were planted into the ground, then the fire-extinguishing train followed up. After adjusting the high-pressure water cannon to a thirty-degree angle, they turned on the water, sending a jet roaring out of the nozzle.

The water flow was gentle, so as the cannon rotated, it formed a small area of precipitation in the air, sprinkling every inch of soil with the sacred spring water.

Dale looked at the land eagerly and asked, “Teacher, after some time, these will grow into fruit trees, right? By autumn, there will be lots of fruits, right?”

“Yes.”

“How many will there be?”

“Countless,” Wang Bo said proudly.

Dale’s chubby face scrunched up as if displeased. “Oh no… that must be a lot of work, right? How many days will we have to stay here?”

Wang Bo was about to reply that she wouldn’t need to lift a finger, but at that moment, Eva squatted down and patted her little head, smiling brightly. “Don’t worry, dear. We’ll be leaving this afternoon, so it won’t affect your school tomorrow.”

Dale’s expression changed from pretending to be worried to genuinely worried. She glared fiercely at Eva, stomped her little legs, and ran off. “Annoying!”

Wang Bo was only there to oversee the work. The entire planting process would take about a week, and he didn’t need to stay the whole time. He could occasionally check the monitoring system.

At noon, another vehicle arrived at the farm, marked with “Thousand-Mile Eye Monitoring” on its side. The van was full of surveillance equipment.

Wang Bo went to shake hands with the driver and asked, “You’re an electronic monitoring company, right?”

The balding middle-aged driver nodded. “Yes, sir. Are you Mr. Wang? As requested, we brought surveillance cameras that can cover nine hundred acres.”

Without a doubt, the orchard would eventually need farmers to manage it, but Wang Bo hadn’t hired anyone yet. There was no rush; he was planting tree seeds, which would take at least half a month to sprout, let alone mature.

At this stage, no one needed to work on-site; as long as someone watched the monitors to ensure no one trespassed, it was enough. The cameras would handle most of the work.

The monitoring company sent engineers who showed Wang Bo the blueprints and explained where the first cameras would be installed.

Setting up a monitoring system that covered the entire estate wasn’t simple. The engineers needed to survey the terrain, produce design plans, and then begin installation.

Initially, cameras would be installed at key locations, such as the main gate, surrounding woods, and inside the villa—these were the critical points.

The engineer explained, “According to your requirements, we plan to provide your estate with the most advanced 4G-WCDMA-CCTV system. These critical locations will operate separately from the full-coverage system, offering stronger signals, better image quality, and longer recording times.”

Wang Bo looked puzzled. “CCTV? Are you working with China Central Television?”

The engineer was confused. “Sorry, sir, I don’t understand. CCTV stands for Closed-Circuit Television. It’s a type of private monitoring system. Did you mean something else?”

“Oh, never mind,” Wang Bo said, realizing his misunderstanding. “Please continue.”

The engineer’s explanation was professional. This CCTV system was a cross-industry, comprehensive security system using the world’s most advanced civilian sensing, monitoring, communication, and computing technologies.

All these technologies combined created a highly intelligent, multifunctional monitoring system for the farm, consisting of three main modules: front-end equipment, transmission, and back-end devices. It was quite complex.

Wang Bo asked, “How long will it take to set up a system covering the entire farm?”

“About a week.”

“So fast?” Wang Bo was surprised. He remembered how monitoring setups at his old company, just a few hundred square meters over one floor, took two days. This was over nine hundred acres!

He doubted whether the work could be done properly at this speed.

The engineer smiled. “Technology changes life, sir. With traditional wiring methods, it would take half a month. But with new technology, a few transmitter points are enough to connect the cameras to the main system, and the signals are resistant to weather, sun, rodents, or insects.”

Wang Bo agreed and began selecting the electronic equipment for the monitoring system.

Covering the entire farm with monitoring would cost a significant amount. The company first provided a design plan, so exact costs weren’t calculated yet. Wang Bo estimated it would definitely cost more than a million.

The initial installation of the monitoring equipment was completed quickly. Cameras were hidden at the gates, rooftops, and treetops, while computers and main units were placed inside the villa. Once connected, the monitoring areas could be viewed remotely.

By the time the installation finished, it was already afternoon. Wang Bo and his group prepared to return to Sunset Town.

Dale hugged a sled dog, burying her face in its fur, reluctant to leave. “I want to stay here with the dogs. If we go back, who will take care of them?”

Eva said, “No problem, but you’ll need to attend school in town. I’ll handle your enrollment now. Dale, you need to stay here obediently.”

Dale sighed. “Fine… I’ll go back to school. At least Niu Niu will be there with me.”

“And what about these dogs?” Mondo asked.

Wang Bo smiled mysteriously. “Soon, my subordinates will arrive. They’ll take care of the dogs.”

“Your subordinates?”

As they spoke, another water tanker drove onto the farm. Ian jumped down with the Beeby brothers.

Wang Bo introduced them to Mondo and said to Ian, “You’ll manage this place for now. Once I hire the farmers, you can return to town.”

Over nine hundred acres was too large, and five hundred tons of water was just a drop in the bucket. From today onward, vehicles would constantly transport sacred spring water.

Although the Lord’s Heart couldn’t directly manage the land, it could influence it in other ways.
