Primitives are stunned

Chapter 242 The Future Pig Farm
With the help of Zishi, Wang Hao was able to get in touch with Gu Mu, and because of this, he also knew the situation in Wangcun very well.That's why Wang Hao can now safely devote all his thoughts to the construction of Zhenmo Island.

The entire island was carefully divided by Wang Hao, and the areas where farmland should be built and where roads should be built were all planned.

Considering the annoying bird droppings, a row of low wooden sheds was built between the lake and the rocky mountain.

According to Wang Hao's consideration, Zhenmo Island has a natural hot lake as protection, the temperature is like summer all year round, and there are no snakes and insects.That being the case, there is no need to spend a lot of time building brick houses.

We found a flat land and padded it higher than the surrounding terrain, so that people living in it would not have to be afraid of rain.

Coming to the land from the dark forest, these people experienced direct sunlight for a long time for the first time in their lives. After a long time, the snow-white skin on their bodies and faces turned red.

When it was time to rest at night, there was howling in the wooden shed.

Because the place where they are sunburned, just a little touch will hurt.

When old man Xie learned from Wang Hao that it was a normal reaction, he was relieved.

On the second day, the skins on these people's bodies were indeed cracked as Wang Hao said.It hurts a little bit.

And the newly born skin inside showed some bronze-like color.

This kind of transformation often requires more than ten days or even a month of adaptation period on the earth, but these people in the wilderness have adapted in just two days, and Wang Hao was stunned to see it.

Today is a big day.Because after several days of preparation, Wang Hao finally decided to attack these wild boars who hadn't seen the form clearly.

In the past few days, the people of Xie Village and the wild boars have been fighting fiercely.

Pigs are omnivorous animals and have no resistance to fragrant meat.

Whenever people eat, these wild boars will move upon hearing the wind and come to beg for food.

If in the wilderness, animals begged for food from humans, and their attitudes were very barbaric, they would have been knocked down by a stick and turned into food.

But under Wang Hao's signal, the crowd did not compete with the wild boars, as long as the wild boars came, they would move the place and leave the food for them.

Gradually, these wild boars lost their last bit of vigilance against humans.

Today, after several days of work, a strong and huge pigsty finally took shape.

These wild boars are not very hostile to humans, so Wang Hao does not intend to use violent means to capture them.

Instead, use a little trick to let them get into the pigsty by themselves, and then the villagers of Xie Village will show up to raise them.

Although it will be more troublesome to do so, it will not make the wild boars resist, so that they will always think that humans are their good partners.Perhaps in just one or two generations, qualified domestic pigs can be domesticated.

There are countless species of living things on the earth, but why is there only a small number of poultry and domestic animals in the end.

Not to mention chickens, ducks and geese, but only domestic animals.

Cattle can plow the fields and eat meat.

Horses can carry people, use them as legs, and eat meat.

Sheep can produce wool and still eat meat.

Dogs, on the other hand, can guard the house and still eat meat.

In addition to being able to kill and eat meat, these animals basically have other uses, so that they can not be eliminated in the 5000-year history of China and have been passed down from generation to generation.

However, among the large livestock, pigs are the only exception.It can't do anything.

It cannot carry people to pull goods, fur has no added value at all when productivity is low, and it cannot look after homes and yards to help people hunt.Its only function is to kill and eat meat.It is precisely because pigs do nothing but eat and wait to die every day, so there is a saying of lazy pigs on the earth.

Then why have pigs not been eliminated for so many years?

The reason is simple. Apart from the fact that pigs grow faster, the most important thing is that they basically eat anything.

Pigs can eat anything that humans can eat, and pigs can eat many things that humans cannot eat.

It eats bark, and it also eats grass roots.It can even eat some rotten substances similar to soil.Not only can pigs be eaten, it also has a very high conversion rate and can convert it into fat and meat.

In this way, even when there is a shortage of food, as long as people work hard, they can find food for the pigs.Pigs eat food and convert it into meat.People can eat these meats to satisfy their hunger.

In this way, the pig is equivalent to a converter, converting many things that humans cannot eat into things that humans can eat, and can store them for a long time.It is equal to indirectly creating many things for human beings out of thin air.

It is for these reasons that the number of cattle and horses with additional functions has plummeted due to the increase in productivity, but the number of pigs has continued to increase due to human demand for meat.It's just that they have all moved from free-range breeding by ordinary people to major breeding farms.

Today's barbecue is extraordinarily fragrant, that's because Wang Hao added some more spices.

The pigs smelled the fragrance, and rushed over one by one.

Looking at their fat heads and big ears, they don't look like wild boars. They have been semi-domesticated by nature for a long time.

If this group of pigs left Zhenmo Island, none of them would survive more than two days.

According to the experience of the pig herd these days, these people will definitely throw those delicious food to them, and then walk away.

Sure enough, seeing the pigs coming, Wang Hao and the others threw some small pieces of roasted meat into the pigs.

The pigs all rushed to eat, for fear that they would eat less than other pigs.

There seems to be a lot of food today.But what dissatisfied the pigs was that the food was different from the previous two days. They were all cut into small pieces, making it extremely difficult to eat.

The pigs, who lowered their heads and ate the food on the ground, didn't realize that one by one, they got into a wooden pigsty.

The materials used for the pigsty are all branches of relatively strong hardwood in the forest.

Hardwoods as thick as calves were buried deep in the ground.There is a gap of more than 20 cm between each hardwood.

A half-sized wild boar would never be able to get through such a gap.But enough space is left to deal with dirty things such as pig manure.

Between the hardwoods standing on the ground, there are also hardwoods tied horizontally with rattan.

In this way, a circular pigsty capable of accommodating all wild boars was built on a higher ground with hardwood.

Among the pigs, the largest wild boar is as tall as a person, so the height of the pigsty is two meters.On the top of the pigsty, there are also hardwoods crossed to prevent wild boars from jumping out.

In order to prevent wild boars from gnawing on them, these hardwoods and the vines that bind the hardwoods have the sap of hogweed that wild boars hate.

After the pigsty was built, Wang Hao tested the hardness himself, and those wild boars would definitely not be able to get out.

The gaps between the pigpens are reserved for the little wild boars to enter and exit.

After these wild boars gradually get used to the new life in captivity, these piglets will be raised separately.

Because in the case of piglets, the sow will not go into heat again.

After the small pigs are quarantined, the big pigs will also be quarantined.

At that time, each sow will have its own pigsty, and for boars, the thorny and weak ones will be housed together and slaughtered at any time for food.

The relatively docile ones will be picked out and kept with sows regularly for breeding.

On Earth, the average number of days for a wild boar to go from conception to birth is 110 four days.In other words, a maximum of three babies can be produced in one year.But under normal circumstances, it is not bad to have five children in two years.

For each litter, there are usually ten piglets in their early years.

In other words, even if the number of accidental deaths is excluded, under the condition of artificial breeding, a sow can give birth to at least 25 litters a year.

And there are thirty adult sows here.

Under normal circumstances, the ratio of boars to sows in a herd will not be like this.

This is the result of the special environment on Zhenmo Island.

Just like this herd of pigs, if they can reproduce vigorously, it only takes about ten years for the wild boars to fill up the entire Zhenmo Island.

But before that, these wild boars also perished long ago due to lack of food.

But now with human intervention it is different.

Thirty adult sows can reproduce vigorously, at least 750 piglets can be added to Wang Hao a year.

Zhenmo Island is huge, and Wang Hao and the others would basically need nearly a day to walk from one side of the island to the other.This is enough to explain its huge size.

When Wang Hao didn't come to Zhenmo Island, the sweet potatoes on the island could supply more than [-] wild boars by relying on natural growth.

If the land is reclaimed and planted artificially, the amount of food will increase by tens of thousands of times.

It is no problem to build the entire island into a super large and self-sufficient pig farm.

Therefore, Wang Hao is only worried about the number of wild boars being too small, not too many.

But don't worry too much.Piglets will grow up, and it won't be long before the first batch of piglets grow up, and the breeding speed of wild boars will usher in another geometric blowout.

Seeing the last few wild boars grunting and getting into the pigsty made for them, Wang Hao closed the door of the pigsty with his own hands.

These wild boars will live in this place for at least a month. When they start to adapt to this kind of life, they will be assigned to new pig pens for large-scale breeding.

Wang Hao looked at the herd of pigs still grunting and scrambling for food in the pigsty, and sighed that Zhenmo Island was really his precious land.

The harvest this time has far exceeded his imagination.

Wang Hao can foresee that in the next few years, Zhenmo Island will be the most important grain and asphalt production base in Wangcun.
