This plan seemed unfeasible.
Next, he considered utilizing the existing agricultural land in Zhao Family Village. This was indeed much more convenient, as it allowed for the direct use of the vast surrounding plots, totaling thousands of acres available. In the short term, there would be no issue with insufficient planting space. Moreover, compared to the traditional crops grown by the villagers, these crops not only grew rapidly but also had a higher yield.
However, the disadvantages were equally apparent. The converted fields might reduce the farming area available to local villagers, leading to a homogenization of crop types and affecting the region's self-sufficiency. Additionally, Yun Yi firmly believed that real-world crop cultivation should take precedence, with any agricultural endeavors serving as supplementary measures. Considering that he did not want his life after crossing over to become another form of overtime work, this plan also had to be abandoned.
The final option appeared particularly attractive: an underground farm. Although it would require a massive initial workload, the approach involved excavating a vast underground area beneath Zhao Family Village specifically designed for crop cultivation. This would avoid encroaching on existing arable land while ensuring proximity to living spaces for convenience.
The main challenge lay in constructing an underground space suitable for crop growth. For traditional farming, this might mean providing ample light, nutrient-rich soil, sufficient water supply, and appropriate humidity and climate conditions—complex factors that were not obstacles for these crops. They could survive and thrive even with a lack of these elements, as long as the surrounding brightness did not fall below a certain level. This meant that setting up several core torches with adequate luminosity would be sufficient to support an efficient underground agricultural system.
In the long run, this choice was economically efficient and highly innovative. Most importantly, the underground space could continuously expand without being limited by surface constraints; it could be realized as long as time and resources were invested. Excavation could reach depths from the tenth layer to the twentieth layer and even up to the hundredth layer without any issues. It would not be difficult to enlist others to assist with the excavation either; all that was needed was to build a staircase for them.
In this way, Yun Yi could use a hydraulic elevator for easy access while others used the staircase without interfering with each other. This arrangement was clearly the most ideal.
After careful consideration, Yun Yi ultimately decided to adopt the third plan. After all, excavating underground space was not difficult for someone like Steve, who was known for his hard work and determination.
More importantly, the underground space could also be used for livestock farming, while everything above ground remained unchanged.
On the surface, Yun Yi's luxurious villa appeared completely normal, and the interior seemed empty. However, once he descended the stairs into the underground, he would discover a hidden super-large strategic base capable of supporting millions of lives—truly breathtaking!
Yun Yi immediately decided to take action. But before officially starting the excavation, a series of preparations were necessary. The most critical task was to ensure that he had sufficient tools, especially the Iron Shovel.
To craft an Iron Shovel, he needed Iron Ingots and Wood Sticks, the latter of which had to be made from wood. After checking his Wood Stock, Yun Yi felt a bit anxious: due to frequent consumption in the past, he was running seriously low on wood and could barely manage to craft the required Iron Shovels.
Fortunately, he remembered that fishing could randomly yield Wood Sticks, and the probability was quite high. Over the past few days, he had accumulated over a hundred Wood Sticks, enough to handle this excavation task.
Nevertheless, this shortage of wood reminded Yun Yi that if there were more large-scale construction projects ahead, he needed to replenish his materials as soon as possible. Therefore, Yun Yi planned to head to the Tai Mountain Range soon to gather timber—at least a few thousand pieces, ideally tens of thousands; otherwise, he wouldn't stop!
He resolved this in his mind. Next, he began crafting the necessary equipment. At the Crafting Table, he placed enough Iron Ingots and Wood Sticks and instantly completed the production of forty Iron Shovels.
Considering that the excavation would occur at a soil layer about ten meters below ground level—an area difficult for ordinary diggers to reach—this height would not impose too much physical burden; he would only need to walk a few steps down the stairs to enter and exit smoothly.
To maximize work efficiency, choosing Iron Shovels was undoubtedly the best option. In the first phase of his underground space plan, Yun Yi designed an area of approximately square meters with a height of about two meters. This included square meters for planting carrots and square meters for Wheat; the remaining area would be used for Sugarcane cultivation.
In the future, if he wanted to expand the planting area or introduce poultry farming, it would only require building upon this foundation or adding new levels.
Equipped with his newly crafted Iron Shovels and a set of nuclear-powered lights, Yun Yi stepped into his journey of excavating the underground world with great enthusiasm.
Arriving at the entrance of the Water Elevator within the previously excavated rock layer, he leaped lightly into the descending water flow. After descending about ten meters, he deliberately paused mid-air and quickly retrieved his Iron Shovel from his backpack, transforming into a Red-Collar Fighter ready for excavation combat.
Relying on his rich experience from previous construction projects, this time his digging speed significantly increased; as his arms swung, they created almost illusory shadows. Thus began Yun Yi's grand project of constructing an underground space.
With both hands gripping the Iron Shovel, the efficiency doubled, along with an eightfold gain when digging dirt.
Crack! Crack! The soil crumbled like paper, cleared in less than a second.
Wherever the Iron Shovel swept, the dirt retreated in succession, transforming into fist-sized Blocks that floated in the air.
Yun Yi did not immediately collect these Dirt Blocks due to limited backpack space. Compared to gathering these relatively useless Dirt Blocks, wielding the Iron Shovel proved to be far more efficient.
Once the excavated area was sufficiently large, Yun Yi took out a Nuclear Torch from his backpack and inserted it above. The flames instantly illuminated the darkness underground.
Not only was it cooler down here than the scorching heat above, but there was also a hint of chill. This was merely a depth of several meters; if he descended hundreds of meters underground, that chill would be even more pronounced.
As the firelight brightened the surroundings, Yun Yi continued to dig deeper. However, just as he was about to start again, the previously tranquil underground began to rustle, with bits of soil falling onto his head.
This reaction quickly made Yun Yi realize that the soil above followed the laws of physics in reality, rather than those of a game world. Without proper support, gravity would cause it to collapse.
