Chapter 144 141. Difficulties in breeding industry
On January 15, 997, Neil headed north to the Night-Kirin City site with 50 cavalry, 150 Mana-Less and supplies equivalent to a medium-sized Barbarian camp.
Neil's team shoulders the important task of exploring Ruins and gathering other Barbarian tribes. For this reason, Landen specially saw him off before leaving.
Landen was not just delivered to the gate of the camp, but the team riding Blaze to deliver Neil was approaching Korniko Pass.
"Sir, at the speed of Blaze, we will arrive at the Night-Kirin City ruins in a while." Neil joked with Landen. Night-Kirin City is more than 100 kilometers north of the mountain pass. Landen can indeed arrive in one day.
"It's okay. I'll see you off again. You guys have worked harder than me along the way." Landen's words were obviously full of frustration and helplessness.
"Is it because of those fish?" Neil guessed.
"Yeah", Landen riding on Blaze nodded, not wanting to mention a word.
It is true that Landen sent Neil to relax because the fish farming was not going well. To be more precise, Landen's fish farming has been relatively successful, but Magic Fish's fish farming has not seen the dawn of success so far.
It is said that Landen purchased at least 8 containers of fish fry. These fry are hatched from the eggs of Warcraft fish and sold together after they grow to a certain size. Ordinary nobles buy these fry to feed the larger ornamental Magic Fish.
And Landen hopes to use the cage concept of his hometown to dig Fish Pond in the land to continuously raise the small fry, and finally grow into pools of Magic Fish, providing a basic source of Magic Beast Meat for Mana-Wielder in the territory.
His idea is very simple. First build a closed Fish Farm, and dig a number of standard-sized fish ponds in the fishery. The fish in the container are first placed in the Low-Temperature Pool with a cooling function, then into the Breeding Pond and wait until the small fish grow to 5-10 centimeters, and then placed in the third Adult Fish Pool.
The function of Low-Temperature Pool is to slow down the growth rate of the fry, because too many fry are bought, and Landen is also afraid that the risk of investing too many fry at one time will be too high.
The Breeding Pond has ventilation (adding oxygen), heating (maintaining a higher water temperature to promote the growth of the nursery), life (promoting the growth of the water bath) and other Magic Array. These Magic Array can allow the fry to grow to more than 5 cm in larvae within 7-9 days. A pond of about 12 square meters in the Breeding Pond will put 600 to 1,200 fry.
Adult Fish Pool There are already 10 buildings, each of which has life, heating, ventilation, etc. Magic Array. After each building is completed, young fish of different densities will be put in for experiments. According to the experience of the previous life, these fish can grow to 1 kilogram in about two or three months at the fastest and can be eaten.
What Landen hopes is to feed Magic Fish fry through Magic Grain, so that these fish can become level 0 Warcraft fish in about 80 days, which can not only provide meat, but also provide a source of magic.
Landen's initial plan went relatively smoothly, with more than 1,000 fry becoming juvenile fish first. However, Landen never imagined that these fish were all descendants of the monster fish. When they grew to 10 centimeters, they developed the territorial awareness and aggression that only monster fish can have.
Since the first batch of Breeding Pond juvenile fish entered several Adult Fish Pool 6 days ago, these characteristics have been reflected. As long as there are more than two juvenile fish in each pool, they will attack each other almost overnight until only one is left.
In the only control pond, because there was no Magic Grain feed, the juvenile fish were relatively calm. However, if ordinary feed was fed, the probability of the juvenile fish becoming Magic Fish was basically 0.
For several days in a row, young fish have been attacking each other. Landen's thousands of young fish have been killed and only single digits are left, which makes Landen very depressed. Landen tried to use fish baskets or cages to limit the activities of the young fish, but with little success.
Landen regards breeding exploration as scientific research in his previous life, constantly looking for key variables that affect young fish, but progress has stalled, and because after each young fish fight, Landen needs I changed the water in the fish pond again and checked Magic Array again, which delayed Wendy's arrangement of taking Earth Fairy to Gallop Barony to smooth the road.
"Sir, let me tell you, these fry are originally used as food for other fish. Why don't you send people to catch some small Water Arrow Fish, raise them in the pond, and then feed them with young fish. The pond is empty anyway." Neil came up with an idea.
Landen feels that what Neil said is not unreasonable. The number of Water Arrow Fish who have become World of Warcraft is not that many, but there are many who have not made breakthroughs, and it is easy to catch. The key is that after several failures, he hopes to put his energy and resources in some direction that is more suitable for him.
After relaxing, Landen returned to the territory, sent Wendy out, and asked her to take Earth Fairy to smooth the road from Rothe to Baron Gallop's Territory. He also gave Fang a task to capture Water Arrow Fish, which made her feel better.
In fact, since Landen returned to his territory, he has not only been raising fish, but also Long-Haired Sheep, Black-Scaled Horse, pack animals, grouse, Gray Goose, Mallard and wild boar, Guinea Pig and many other animals raised in the camp have more or less problems. Landen is trying to find ways to solve these problems every day using the ideas of the past life combined with the magic of this world, and conduct large-scale breeding of all species that can be raised.
However, only after I started using Landen did I realize the old saying: If you have a millionaire, you don't count those with hooves. All kinds of farmed animals will have various problems in winter, especially insufficient feed and poor animal resistance, which may cause plague.
Even with Kaiyi and Life Priest here, they can only suppress the plague, and all breeding activities can only wait for the arrival of spring.
Since the development of the breeding industry has encountered a bottleneck, Landen has focused on swordsmanship and riding. In the past few days, he has begun to compete with several Intermediate Knights in swordsmanship, frequently exchanging blows, and venting his anger at the unfavorable development of the industry.
In a specially compacted open space, Battle Qi clashed with each other, and Landen had to practice here for several hours every morning.
In the Transcendent market of Bristle-Wolf City and Longtai City, Landen bought some Battle Qi Potion, these potions Each bottle can refill Landen 5 into Battle Qi, and the price ranges from 5 to 7 pieces of Gold Coin, which is much more cost-effective than directly Krypton Crystal.
"Does he think Battle Qi Potion is broth? It tastes like free money." Landen's training in the morning will also attract Hark and Ryan to watch. His money-burning training makes Hark, who has always been frugal and house-keeping, feel sick.
"This has been much better." Raul on the other side has experienced Landen's Krypton Crystal training, and naturally feels that it is normal. "I think he usually trains too little. The occasional Charge training cannot effectively improve his swordsmanship."
Landen heard the conversation between the two people clearly, and he also knew that training is a daily matter, and there will be no results if it is not accumulated over time. However, when Landen was eating and chatting with Dugan, he heard Blue Dragon Family's opinion, that is, Battle Qi's training is far more important than swordsmanship training.
In powerful swordsmanship, it is difficult to fight against the level gap. In fact, the level is directly related to the use of Battle Qi. The more powerful Knight is, not only the more sufficient Battle Qi is, the more skillful the use of Battle Qi will be.
