I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 207 Festival Celebration Pack

At 6 o'clock in the morning the next day, Fang Ye woke up and groggily turned off the alarm clock.

He yawned and exclaimed, "Geez, why is celebrating a festival so exhausting."

The visitors had a great time relaxing at the zoo! But as the director, he had to consider all aspects of the festival. He had been busy before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moment the festivities were over, he felt so relaxed that he didn't want to get out of bed.

Fang Ye wished he could take a few days off, but with National Day coming up, there was still work to be done.

After using the toilet and washing his face and brushing his teeth, he remembered, "Right, let's see how much my popularity value increased yesterday."

He opened the system panel, and after yesterday's event, the popularity value had increased by 30,000 in one day.

He unexpectedly saw a prompt from the system.

"Ding! The zoo has successfully held a festival event that not only brought joy to the visitors but also increased their knowledge of animals! Congratulations, Host, you've received a festival celebration gift pack*1!"

"Huh, there's a celebration gift pack?"

Fang Ye guessed that this prompt must have appeared at midnight, right after the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, but he hadn't heard it because he was already asleep by then.

What an unexpected delight!

He rubbed his hands together with anticipation, wondering what good things he might get.

Time for the draw!

A pleasant notification sound chimed:

"Congratulations, Host, you've received 30,000 green leaf coins!

Congratulations, Host, you've received one [Super Snow-making Machine]!"

Fang Ye was overjoyed; the more green leaf coins, the better. Although he wasn't lacking them now, they would come in handy for building facilities later.

But what exactly is this [Super Snow-making Machine]?

Snow formation requires two conditions: one is that the air is saturated with moisture; the other is that there are nuclei for condensation in the air.

The snowmaking machine uses this principle, where high-pressure water mixes with air at the nozzle. The expansion of volume carries away heat and causes droplets to solidify into ice crystals, artificially creating the conditions for snow formation.

However, the efficiency of snowmaking depends on the external temperature. Although it is possible to make snow in summer, the higher the temperature, the lower the efficiency. Generally, temperatures around 0°C are suitable for snowmaking.

Moreover, the snowmaking machine impacts the environment, consuming a lot of water. Typically, one ton of water produces two cubic meters of snow. After artificial snowmaking, most of the water evaporates into the air or seeps into the ground, unable to be recycled.

Furthermore, snowmaking machines that cover large areas usually draw groundwater from nearby sources. This heavy water usage can cause spring droughts in mountainous areas.

So Fang Ye thought it over. With Linhai's climate staying around ten degrees above zero in winter, the efficiency of snowmaking would not be high. It wasn't worth wasting water resources just for some fancy snow scenery.

It was just a pity that one couldn't see golden pheasants dancing in the snow or tigers frolicking in it.

But now, with this Super Snow-making Machine, snowmaking has become much more convenient!

The game "Planet Zoo" has a feature for snowmaking, but it requires a cooler to control the temperature. Fang Ye had pondered the fact that one couldn't make snow in the building interface, but now the Super Snow-making Machine could achieve a similar effect. The snow could last for three days without melting.

And the snowmaking doesn't even use water! Of course, no water will appear when the snow melts. It negates itself or is rather like a projector, projecting an interactive image of snow. So it's quite reasonable, isn't it?

Hm... one could only say that the system's technology is pretty awesome.

As for the attached cooling function, he didn't know how much temperature could be lowered at most. He could experiment with it in the winter.

With the Super Snow-making Machine, it was now possible to consider introducing animals like emperor penguins, seals, and sea lions. Visitors could also enjoy the beautiful snow scenery!

Fang Ye suddenly remembered something, "System, National Day is coming up soon. Are there gift packages for hosting events during National Day?"

With so many holidays throughout the year, including others like World Tiger Day and International Bird Day dedicated to animals, wouldn't it mean receiving gift packages until one's hands were sore from just hosting events?

The system's cold response shattered his fantasy, "Holiday celebration gift packages are available again only after six months!"

"Alright," Fang Ye said with some regret.

That meant one could receive holiday celebration gift packages twice a year! The next opportunity would probably be around next April.
