Chapter 114: One Gulp (Happy New Year!)

Three levels of fishing grounds.

Endless water waves ripple in all directions...

Director Yang said:

"City Lord, we have expanded the fishing ground to 100 acres."

"There are mainly four types of fish raised, namely silver carp in the upper layer of the fish pond, grass carp in the middle layer, and carp and crucian carp in the lower layer."

Looking at the fry emerging from the water and swimming happily, Chu Feng said in a deep voice:

"How fast are the fish coming out? How much is the yield?"

"The fastest crucian carp will be ready to fish in half a year and can grow to about 300 grams." Without thinking, Director Yang responded quickly.

"It will take two years for the other three fish to be available."

"What is gratifying is that we have purchased enough fish fry. The entire pond has reached the optimal breeding density and is expected to produce 1 million kilograms of fish every year."

Chu Feng silently calculated in his mind that when combined with other meats, it would be enough for hundreds of thousands of people to consume.

Moreover.

There are more than just these four fish species in the sanctuary.

Don’t forget about the rice flower fish.

During this year, the only fresh meat in the shelter relied on it.

Now there are 300 acres of rice fields, and one acre can produce 300 kilograms of fish, and more than 500,000 kilograms of fish can be produced in a year.

With so much meat in hand, Chu Feng would dare to feed not to mention 150,000 people even if they were rolling around.

The more the accounts are calculated, the clearer they become.

Chu Feng no longer had any worries about the small goal of one million people set this year. Instead, his heart was full of pride and ambition.

Then the group came to the last stop.

Earthworm and Cockroach Breeding Center.

Pushing open the door of the cockroach base, a large factory building with glass exterior walls comes into view.

This is the Longguo cockroach breeding base.

It's actually a cockroach.

However, the variety has been optimized by the Longke Academy and is rich in nutrients and high in protein.

Each can provide 60 kcal.

50 is equivalent to the 3,000 kcal that 2 pounds of vegetables provide to the human body.

Enough for one person to survive for a day.

Before entering the cockroaches' apartment, the group first armed themselves.

I put on a clean white coat, put on shoe covers, and disinfected from top to bottom in the disinfection room.

"The breeding base is completely sterile, and bacteria must be avoided." Director Yang said.

Go through the ‘apartment’.

After opening the door and entering the corridor, the light suddenly dimmed.

This is the territory of cockroaches.

Walking inside, it was pitch dark, and Director Yang skillfully turned on the flashlight.

Both sides of the corridor were divided into separate rooms, which were the cockroaches' bedrooms.

Director Yang said:

"There is a total of one acre of land here, which is divided into 30 rooms, namely egg laying room, larvae room, and adult room. Cockroaches in each growth stage belong to different areas and grow together here."

“The reason there are no lights is because of the dark, quiet environment.”

The first time he entered the breeding base, Chu Feng discovered that the air here was filled with an indescribable special smell.

"This is the smell of cockroaches." Director Yang said.

"A bit rancid and earthy."

"The smell here contains cockroach pheromones. Although it doesn't smell good, it's harmless to the human body."

After adapting to the dark environment, Director Yang opened a bedroom door.

There are layers of boxes similar to beehives inside.

Take a closer look.

The boxes were made of thin wooden boards and were densely covered with cockroaches.

Wherever the flashlight touched, the cockroaches retreated one after another, making the rustling sound of fighting horses.

Director Yang said:

"City Lord, we can't accurately count how many cockroaches there are, but according to calculations, there are about 5 million cockroaches in one acre of land, and 20 billion cockroaches can be harvested from 4,000 acres of land."

"The life cycle of cockroaches is only half a year, and they can be harvested twice a year, with an annual output of 40 billion."

"But unfortunately, we can only raise so many at present. 40 billion cockroaches will eat 30 tons of food a day."

To this.

The research institute had already sent the report to Chu Feng's desk.

150,000 people produce only thirty tons of food waste a day.

Just reach a balance between supply and demand.

It is impossible to raise more than one.

Without enough food, a hungry cockroach with red eyes can do anything.

Cannibalism is not exclusive to humans.

The densely packed crawling cockroaches made Chu Feng's scalp numb due to trypophobia, but to Director Yang, it seemed as if nothing had happened. He casually picked up a box, held it in his hand and said:

"This is the 'room' where the cockroaches live, we call it the 'chip,' and they are sleeping right now."

immediately.

Director Yang shook the 'chip' vigorously, and large swaths of cockroaches fell from it, like rain, continuously...

“Cockroaches like to grow in environments with many gaps, so they made the ‘chip’ like this.

"The chip in my hand weighs about 13 kilograms, and there may be 3,000 cockroaches making their home in it."

Quickly squatting down, Director Yang's shots were as fast as lightning.

A cockroach that wanted to escape was probably too full to run away... so it was pinched in his hand without any resistance.

"The cockroaches here are bred aseptically and do not contain any bacteria, so they can be eaten directly."

Director Yang smacked his lips and became speechless under the frightened eyes of the three people.

Chu Feng also saw the cockroach's two thighs, and it fiddled with his lips for a few times.

Unfortunately, the strength of the two was too different.

How could an ant pull an elephant? It was just struggling to death.

"Mmm... It still tastes like chicken, crunchy, um... This one is fat enough! A little bursting..."

"Ah..."

Ouyang Xiu'er covered her mouth and rushed out of the cockroach's house.

Never came back.

Although she had eaten it before, it was just cream, so she treated it as jelly.

The first time, she was so hungry that she reluctantly ate it.

That day, she vomited for a long time behind her sister's back.

She almost vomited bile.

But this is alive!

Alive!

Alive!

Important things should be said three times.

Director Yang finished eating as if nothing had happened, and smacked his lips, looking like he was still not satisfied.

Nonsense.

In Wusu Town more than half a year ago, if you wanted to eat live cockroaches, you couldn't!

This is meat.

Anyone caught eating secretly would be expelled from the shelter.

In the snow and ice, that would mean death.

Now you can eat as much as you want.

Then Director Yang continued:

"City Lord, the temperature and humidity of the breeding base are all controlled by computers. Compared with the "wild" cockroaches outside, the cockroaches in our shelter not only enjoy a comfortable living environment, but also eat well and live a very comfortable life."

Picked up a small dish of powdered items next to it.

"This is the daily ration for cockroaches. Its ingredients are processed kitchen waste, and some trace elements are added. We feed and water the cockroaches on time every day, hoping that they will eat well, sleep well, and grow up quickly."

After visiting the cockroach "apartment", the group of three came to the outside of the breeding base.

The entire base is surrounded by a one-meter-wide ditch, in which omnivorous fish such as silver carp wander.

Director Yang said:

"The base adopts closed breeding. From indoors to outdoors, there are three doors to go through, so cockroaches don't have any chance to 'escape'."

"At the same time, the ditch outside the base can also serve as a 'moat'. If a cockroach successfully escapes, it will be blocked by the ditch. If it dares to cross the line, it will be eaten by the 'fish security guards' in the water."

With such security protection, if the cockroach can successfully escape again, Chu Feng will accept his fate.
