In a flash, Lin Huowang made a choice.
You have to know that even now it is 1977, we are still in the era of planned economy with cloth and meat coupons.
The value of this flying dragon far exceeds that of ordinary poultry.
At that time, pork in the county supply and marketing cooperative was only 80 cents per pound, but this pair of live flying dragons could be sold for 30-50 yuan.
Even if the feathers of this flying dragon are made into handicrafts and exported, foreign exchange can be earned.
After processing, each tail feather can be sold for $0.2.
When Lin Huowang was explaining the collective economy to team leader Lin Shuisheng, a very important example he cited was the establishment of a breeding base for artificially bred flying dragons.
At that time, Lin Shuisheng raised two major problems. One was that living flying dragons were very difficult to capture. They were usually killed with hunting rifles and eaten ready-made.
Second, how to raise a flying dragon?
How to eat, how to live, how to breed and reproduce, these are all issues that make people confused.
After all, the reason why flying dragons can create such high economic value is essentially because their meat is delicious and unparalleled, but more importantly, it is because rare things are valuable.
It’s not that no one has ever thought about raising flying dragons artificially, but even if they could catch one alive, they would all die after a short time.
This flying dragon is different from chickens and ducks, it is very delicate!
But these are not problems at all for Lin Huowang.
When he was the director of the Forestry Bureau before his rebirth, one of the major projects he personally introduced and took charge of was this flying dragon breeding base.
Coincidentally, the pilot project was also carried out in several production brigades of the Red Star Commune.
By inviting poultry experts and professors from several famous agricultural and forestry universities, we have developed a very scientific artificial breeding technology for flying dragons.
At that time, the Forestry Bureau Director Lin Huowang, along with several other officials, lived and ate at the Feilong breeding base. Together with the local farmers, they thoroughly understood the difficulties of Feilong breeding.
That's why!
In this life, as long as Lin Huowang can catch a few more pairs of live flying dragons and bring them back, the flying dragon breeding base that can lay eggs continuously can be established smoothly.
"Brother Awang, it's done!
I asked the others to go back first.
These five people, like me, have sharp senses and are good at tracking prey and setting traps.”
Zhao Daniu brought the five people over according to Lin Huowang's instructions.
These five men were of solid build, with simple expressions on their faces and determination and focus in their eyes.
Lin Huowang nodded, and then asked Zhao Daniu to lead the way along the footprints.
"It's right in front, Brother Awang. Look at the snake-shaped convex mark arched under the snow. The footprints of the flying dragons entered from here..."
Zhao Daniu shouted a little excitedly.
His voice echoed in the silent forest, startling several birds perched on the branches.
Lin Huowang nodded:
"That's right! This is Feilong's unique snow trail.
Usually they enter and exit their dens by drilling into a half-meter thick snow crust and using their sternum to plow a warm passage.
If nothing unexpected happens, the nest of these flying dragons is in the snow at the bottom of the slope in front.
There are three snow paths around here where they enter and exit. Let's lie in ambush first and don't let them find us..."
After determining the location of the flying dragon's nest, Lin Huowang was no longer in a hurry.
He made Zhao Daniu and five others lie down in the snow. The snow was freezing cold, but they didn't say a word.
Then he took out some rosin from his pocket and asked everyone to apply it on their bodies first.
Because these resins can effectively eliminate the smell of humans, it is less likely to be discovered by wild animals.
After the application was completed, Lin Huowang asked Zhao Daniu to go over and check the situation first, and said:
"Daniu, be careful.
Don't get too close, just take a look at what's going on in the nest and how many dragons are there."
"Okay! I'll pay attention, Brother Awang, and wait for my good news."
The agile Zhao Daniu moved along an arc and reached the bottom of the slope.
His figure moved silently in the snow like a ghost.
From this angle, you can see part of the situation in the dragon's nest.
Lin Huowang and the five people who stayed behind began to prepare some lasso traps to capture the flying dragon alive.
Originally, they brought a lot of materials and tools when they went up the mountain.
Now it came in handy. Lin Huowang took out the birch bark from the package. The birch bark was light yellow in color and had a tough texture.
He had all of them tied up in a noose.
Each ring is 15 cm in diameter and is also coated with rosin to eliminate artificial odors.
A total of more than a dozen such nooses were made. Lin Huowang asked five people to carefully place the nooses at the entrances of the snow trails in and out of Feilong Nest.
Don't be too close to the dragon's nest, otherwise, if there is any noise, all the dragons in the nest will be frightened and flee in all directions.
If you only catch one and the others run away, it will not be worth it.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to capture a nest of flying dragons alive this time.
Soon, Lin Huowang prepared the noose, and Zhao Daniu tiptoed back.
"Brother Awang, I understand.
There are two large flying dragons in the nest, and four smaller ones.
According to our previous estimate, there may still be three or four flying dragons outside that have not returned home."
Zhao Daniu inquired very carefully, moved around, and explored almost every situation in the flying dragon's nest from several angles.
