Chapter 318 Koi Project
"The first point is that the whole city should work together to expand the breeding of carp. Those livestock with small meat yields should temporarily stop eating them and keep them as seeds. In the future, we may eat more fish and less rice." Gui Xingchao's first point is directed at food.

Hope City's agriculture is divided into two parts, the first part is the farmland area, which is in charge of by Ma Mary, and the second part is the animal area, which is in charge of Tie Wuya.

After reading the breeding information submitted by Tie Wuya's deputy, Gui Xingchao made this decision.

Although Hope City's current sources of meat mainly rely on pink pigs and bamboo rats, the former has good meat and high yields, while the latter has average meat quality but breeds more and grows faster. Each has its own merits, but these two animals want to produce a lot of meat. There is a common problem:

feed!

Or rather, plant feed.

Although pink pigs are omnivores, after experiments, once they are fed meat, they will become very aggressive, and sometimes they will even attack the breeder if they are fed pure meat.

Not to mention the tricky bamboo rats that were fed to them, they looked down upon everything except leafy vegetables. Most of the people Tie Wuya put on the table these days were also these tricky rats.

But now that there are continuous rainstorms, it is impossible to grow other crops normally on the land. It would be too extravagant to feed them the food that people eat. After all, it is a difficult time. Meat can be eaten, but people cannot be hungry.

If the rain continued for another two or three months, and when Hope City's food reserves were exhausted, people would probably cook it even if it was wood.

Just in case, Gui Xingchao began to think about how to survive this heavy rain crisis.

Although Ma Mali's method can make up for some gaps, that method takes up too much space and cannot meet the expenses of 10 people. However, one of the things in Tie Wuya's report can, and it can be maintained as a new system. Live the stability of the City of Hope food, that is:
Jump carp!
This kind of carp, which was as thick as an adult's thigh, became their new hope for survival.

Fenxiang pigs grow fat after eating too much, bamboo rats are dry and raw, and jumping carp can be said to combine the characteristics of the two thoroughly, growing faster and giving birth more.

The most important thing is that it eats everything, and it is not picky about what it eats, and it grows fast on everything it eats.

After realizing this, Tie Wuya proposed an idea, whether it is possible to use some animals with low food value as feed to feed this kind of thing.

For example, Taiping krill.

Taiping krill is also a miraculous species. They can live longer than carp. One shrimp can produce tens of thousands of shrimp eggs. Although the hatching rate is low, they cannot withstand large numbers. The key is that the food for these shrimps is also very simple. .

They only need to eat some moss to survive, and moss can be cultivated as long as it is in a humid environment, but now it is raining everywhere, you only need to touch some wet mud on the wall to grow it, which is much easier than growing vegetables .

Although Taiping krill has a high phosphorus content, it is dangerous to eat, but if it is used as feed, there is no problem. Carp will naturally turn the indigestible phosphorus into cakes, and krill is one of their food. one.

Therefore, they only need to dig two ponds, one to raise shrimp and the other to raise fish, and throw some shrimp into the fish pond every day, and after Lin Guiyao's reminder, there is another benefit to raising shrimp.

They can't deal with the phosphorus on the shrimp now, but the shrimp eggs do not have phosphorus. After filtering through a fine mesh, they can get a lot of shrimp eggs. These shrimp eggs are delicious whether they are steamed or fried. And it is extremely nutritious.

When there is a certain amount of cakes in the carp pond, the pond mud can also be used as the base mud for those mosses. The base mud with high phosphorus content has a great stimulating effect on this special moss. Taiping krill Will also prefer to eat this moss.

This is a simple food chain closed loop:

Moss is the producer, Taiping krill is the primary consumer, carp is the secondary consumer on the human table, and the remaining organic and inorganic residues are fed back to the moss. As long as there is no problem in one of the links, the food chain will continue. can continue.

Although the final food products are only two kinds of carp meat and shrimp eggs, which are relatively simple, they are much better than those territories where chickens are killed to get eggs, and there is no place to grow seeds, so they have to eat them.

They really eat less than one meal.

"Although there are a lot of fish bones, the taste is not bad, but if you eat too much, you will get tired of it."

After hearing Gui Xingchao's idea, everyone agreed very much. There were some complaints, but they were all joking. In the face of life and death, some food was really good, and it was still meat.

"Since everyone agrees, this project will be carried out immediately. It is a period of heavy rains and water is accumulated everywhere. It is very difficult to excavate fish ponds. We must cooperate closely with all departments to avoid any safety accidents." Gui Xingchao commanded.

Digging a fish pond is not as easy as digging a water hole, especially without a large excavator.

When the weather is fine, you can still dig a hole with your hands. When it rains, especially when the rain starts to flood, digging a fish pond by hand is almost a joke with your life.

The muddy bottom of the pool with no visibility will turn into a man-eating monster, and a person who is not careful will be trapped in the muddy water. If the people next to him are not paying attention, it may not be possible to find the body even if it is cold.

But now the situation is special. In order to survive, no matter how dangerous it is, you have to do things. So you can only try to pay attention and give more instructions.

After talking about jumping carp, digging fish ponds, shrimp ponds, and moss cultivation are the affairs of the engineering department and the research institute. Gui Xingchao waited for everyone to digest it before continuing to talk about his second thought:

"My second point is that during this period, the Ministry of Commerce must collect all kinds of wild plants at all costs, whether they are seeds or plants, as long as they are alive!"

"Collect wild plants? Do you also want flowers and plants?" Hu Xiaoer asked suddenly.

Gui Xingchao nodded: "All of them, but it is enough to have some of each type. I think everyone should know the reason for this, so I won't mention it again. There is only one thing, it's best to mix this matter with the normal During the seed purchase, try to avoid the suspicion of outsiders."

Everyone nodded in agreement, Lin Guiyao could trust anyone who could enter this room, and the fact that he could improve plants was naturally a half-open secret.

Gui Xingchao did this to preserve hope for Hope City. If the rain really couldn't stop and the world became the most terrifying doomsday, Lin Guiyao would need these seeds to save them.

Whether they want to admit it or not, Lin Guiyao has become their hope, but at this time, Lin Guiyao is also waiting for others to save him.
