Chapter 45 Mutated Animal Food
Gu Nian looked at Aurora's business information. The reason why she bought Aurora was because of its pet food production line, which could produce mutant animal food in large quantities.
She went over all the plans in her mind before calling Tan Cang over.
Tan Cang entered his boss' office nervously, waiting for work instructions with trepidation.
He was mentally prepared that his boss might change the business at random, or give his subordinates difficult and impossible tasks. With the attitude of being ready to die, Tan Cang stood in front of Gu Nian with a heavy heart.
But he didn't expect that Gu Nian handed him a recipe for making animal feed.
This recipe clearly lists the process of mixing more than twenty kinds of mutant plant materials with meat to make mutant animal food, but it also states that an unknown auxiliary ingredient needs to be added in the middle.
"I will give you the auxiliary materials regularly, and you will add them to the production line together with the semi-finished animal feed to ensure the final animal feed is finished." Gu Nian said. She divided the formula into two parts. Some of the ingredients that were used in small quantities but were very critical, Gu Nian would directly synthesize them on the farm, and then give them to Tan Cang, and then mix them with other parts to form the final animal feed. This is also to avoid formula leaks.
Gu Nian handed over a delivery list. "This batch of raw materials will be delivered to your door this afternoon. After you count according to this list, you can start producing animal feed. If you understand, go to work."
Tan Cang left the office in a daze, and returned to his workshop with the things given by his boss.
The remaining technicians gathered around. "Old Tan, what did the boss say?"
Tan Cang passed the formula in his hand to everyone for review. The technicians here will all participate in the production of animal feed, and everyone will need to see this list sooner or later.
Everyone circulated it around.
One of the technicians asked, “Who made this recipe?”
Tan Cang calmly replied, "The boss gave it to me." He cautiously replied, "It looks like the boss made the recipe himself."
The others were all surprised. They carefully checked the formula. Since the establishment of Aurora, these technicians have been constantly researching how to make the rations needed by mutant beasts. Based on the food habits and energy supply of mutant beasts, many people have designed different formulas.
As for using mutant plants as animal food materials, it is also the most fashionable research direction today. Several materials that are recognized as the most suitable for mutant animals to eat also appear in this recipe. Of course, there are also many mutant plants that everyone is not familiar with.
Several technicians began to discuss what role these mutant plants played in the formula. However, several technicians had to admit that according to some current research on mutant plants, at least the formula given by the boss was perfect in terms of energy supply. If these were the formulas designed by the boss himself and could really be accepted by the mutant beasts, then the boss's understanding of mutant plants was far better than theirs.
"However, no one knows whether mutant beasts will eat this kind of mutant beast food?" said a technician. "According to the boss's request, we have to produce such a large batch right from the start. If the mutant beasts don't eat it at all, then all these materials will be wasted, right?"
"What do you think?" Tan Cang asked others.
"It's hard to say. Although using mutant plants to make animal food is a new direction, most people have not succeeded so far." Another technician said. This was a tactful question.
"No matter what, let's do what the boss says." Tan Cang replied. He did not refute the others, but he had a feeling in his heart that the boss's formula might be successful. There was no other reason, but because of the boss's firm confidence.
Tan Cang began to assign tasks, and the factory technicians became busy and started preparing the production line again.
In the afternoon, Tan Cang also received the goods.
Two large trucks stopped at the entrance of Aurora, and the truck beds were filled with goods.
Lin Qi jumped down from the front of the car and asked: "Who is responsible for signing for it?"
Tan Cang walked up. "Hello, I'm Tan Cang, the factory manager of Aurora. I'm here to sign for it."
Lin Qi looked Tan Cang up and down before extending her hand: "Hello, I'm Lin Qi from Wan's Trading Company."
Tan Cang took a deep breath. Of course he had heard of Lin Qi. Anyone who had gone to the wilderness to buy materials would have heard of the Wan's Trading Company in the wilderness, and would naturally know Lin Qi, the person in charge of the Wan's Trading Company.
But Tan Cang never expected that the person who came to deliver the goods to his factory would be Lin Qi himself! The boss actually had a cooperation with Lin Qi.
The staff behind Lin Qi started to unload the goods, and Tan Cang and his men began to count the goods and prepare to put them into storage. At this time, Lin Qi suddenly asked, "Is Ms. Gu here? I just want to go visit her."
Tan Cang showed Lin Qi the way.
Lin Qi walked into the interior of Aurora. It was just an ordinary factory workshop. She looked around and didn't expect that Ms. Gu bought such a factory. After working with Gu Nian for several times, she naturally had a clear understanding of Gu Nian's strength. In her eyes, Gu Nian was definitely not a person who shot without a purpose. So, by buying such a mutant animal food production business, did Gu Nian plan to produce mutant animal food? Did she already have a way to make animal food that mutant animals would accept?
Lin Qi knocked on Gu Nian's office door.
"Long time no see, Ms. Gu." Lin Qi said with a smile.
Gu Nian also smiled, "Please sit down, Manager Lin. Thank you for this time." To mass produce mutant animal food, it is naturally necessary to purchase materials in large quantities. The first partner that Gu Nian thought of was Lin Qi. And Lin Qi also readily provided her with the goods and gave a generous enough price.
Lin Qi sat down on the sofa and waved her hands: "Why be so formal? I still want to cooperate with Ms. Gu more." At this point, Lin Qi also explained the purpose of her visit: "The last time, the powerful diamond pills were very popular. Many customers are still asking about it. I wonder if Ms. Gu has time to make another batch?"
Gu Nian said: "It is not difficult to make this medicine. The difficult part is the raw materials. The lotus seeds are the irreplaceable main ingredient." At the auction, one Dali Jin Gang Pill was sold for 5,000 credit points, which is the current ceiling of drug prices. The dividends were also paid into Gu Nian's account.
Lin Qi felt regretful after hearing this. Gu Nian's Vajra Pills were very popular at the auction, which also made Lin Qi recognized by the upper class, who believed that she had developed a new value for the material. Unfortunately, the Shuiyun Lotus Seeds were extremely rare, and Lin Qi had not received similar materials until now.
After thinking about it, Lin Qi put aside her regrets and started talking to Gu Nian about the main topic. "Is the mutant animal food that Ms. Gu is developing now?"
"That's right." Gu Nian didn't intend to hide it.
"Oh? What is the expected effect of this mutant animal food?" Lin Qi said impatiently.
"We are currently producing a universal mutant animal food, which is expected to provide energy for E-level mutant animals." Gu Nian said. In fact, what she said was quite conservative. According to the reference given in the farm space, even low-level animal food can cover the daily needs of D-level mutant animals.
Lin Qi's eyes lit up. Even if it was an E-class mutant beast, this was a rare good thing! Although the so-called E-class mutant beasts did not have strong attack power, they were of great value to humans. For example, mutant pheasants and wild boars that provided meat, or mutant rabbits that provided fur, all belonged to the E-class. If we had this mutant beast food, wouldn't we be able to start breeding in the future? Instead of just purchasing mutant beasts every day, killing them, and freezing them for storage?
"How do you plan to sell this mutant animal food?" Lin Qi asked.
"5 credit points per pound." Gu Nian gave a price.
"Okay, then I'll order 2,000 kilograms first." Lin Qi said. 2,000 kilograms was just a small amount for her, just to verify the effect of the animal feed. If the effect was as Gu Nian said, then the subsequent cooperation would naturally be far more than ordering 2,000 kilograms.
Gu Nian was not surprised by Lin Qi's choice. She nodded and said, "I'll have someone draft a contract and send it to Manager Lin later."
"It's a pleasure working with you." Lin Qi smiled and extended her hand.
Gu Nian shook hands back.
-------------------------------------
A new store suddenly opened in the wilderness camp, called Aurora Mutant Animal Food.
This is really strange. Anyone who has spent a few days in the wilderness knows that mutant beasts never eat food given by humans and would rather starve to death, so the mutant beasts that people hunt will be killed directly and cannot be raised.
Where did this scam store come from? Even if they wanted to commit fraud, they should have opened it in the city to defraud ordinary people, not in a wilderness camp, right?
However, at the entrance of this store, there were several mutant golden pheasants tied up, and in front of the mutant golden pheasants, there was a food bowl filled with animal food. In full view of everyone, the mutant golden pheasants strolled a few steps and came over to eat the animal food in the food bowl.
Looking at the state of these mutant golden pheasants, they have clearly become accustomed to eating this kind of animal food!
There was a cry of surprise from the crowd, and a group of wilderness hunters returning to the camp gathered together and whispered. Could it be that this Aurora Company could really develop mutant animal food? So many big companies couldn't do this research, but this Aurora company, which had never been heard of, could do it?
Most wilderness hunters don’t believe it, always thinking that the store is using some tricks to cheat, but some are skeptical, thinking that what if this company has really developed a formula for mutant animal food?
As the crowd gathered, the staff in the store held up a sign. "Free trial of E-level mutant animal food, limited to 200 servings per day."
Free is always a gimmick. It doesn't cost money anyway, so it's not a loss.
A wilderness hunter looked at the sign, without hesitation, and immediately went into the store to claim it.
His action was the first, and several more people followed in. The herd mentality was aroused, and soon more and more people poured in, and soon the store was packed.
Zhan Wen struggled to protect his backpack and squeezed out of the crowd. He could only be thankful that he was the first one to enter. Otherwise, if he had come a little later, he would not have been able to get the Aurora Beast Food at all. He hurried home.
Zhan Wen's home is in a dilapidated bungalow in the west district. It is just a simple bungalow surrounded by earth walls, but it has its own cellar. Therefore, Zhan Wen had to sell all his belongings after the natural disaster to buy this small bungalow.
"You're back!" As soon as Zhan Wen knocked on the door, his wife opened it immediately.
Zhan Wen also smiled: "Well, I'm back."
Lu Chun looked her husband up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was safe and sound.
Lu Chun was originally an office worker. Before the natural disaster, her income was no less than her husband's. Unfortunately, after the natural disaster, her skills were almost useless and she could only stay at home. Before the drought, she could barely earn a few credit points by washing clothes day and night to supplement her family income, because in the era of scarce electricity and cheap labor, everyone went back to hand-washing. However, now the whole city is in drought and even drinking water has become a problem. Who can wash clothes?
The responsibility of supporting the family fell entirely on Zhan Wen. Because of this, Zhan Wen always worked very hard when going out hunting with the team, just to get more spoils. But the consequence was that Zhan Wen was often injured, which became a concern for Lu Chun.
After relaxing, Lu Chun also saw that Zhan Wen was holding a mutant golden pheasant in his hand. However, judging from its size, it was still a chick. She was a little surprised: "Why didn't you sell this chicken?"
"I have good news today." Zhan Wen smiled mysteriously, as if he had returned to the time before the natural disaster and prepared a surprise gift for her.
Lu Chun felt warm inside for the first time in a long time, and asked in cooperation, "What's the good news?"
"Let's talk about it after dinner." Zhan Wen wanted to keep it a secret.
The two of them entered the cellar. Compared to the ground, the cellar was always much cooler at night, but it was still over 40 degrees. Lu Chun carefully turned on the fan. Usually, when her husband was not at home, she was reluctant to turn on the fan.
Taking advantage of the slight coolness brought by the electric fan, the two of them shared dinner, which was four roasted sweet potatoes.
It was only after a simple dinner that Zhan Wen took out the bag of mutant animal food that he had received for free.
Lu Chun took it, not understanding what it meant. "What is this? Is it a snack?"
Zhan Wen smiled and said, "This is mutant animal food. I heard it can feed E-level beasts. Try feeding it to this mutant golden pheasant and see if you can keep it alive."
Lu Chun said in surprise: "Didn't they say that mutant beasts don't eat food fed by humans?"
"This is a new animal food that has just been released. It is said to be the latest research result. Let's try it." Zhan Wen encouraged.
That's fine, Lu Chun thought. She carefully read the instructions, put a handful of animal food in a bowl, carefully mixed it with a little water, and tentatively placed it in front of the mutant golden pheasant.
The mutant golden pheasant came over and sniffed the food.
Lu Chun and Zhan Wen were worried.
The next second, the mutant golden pheasant's head plunged into the bowl and its mouth began to eat rapidly.
"I ate it, I ate it!" Lu Chun said in surprise.
Zhan Wen was also overjoyed. He didn't expect that the mutant beast would actually eat this animal food!
Lu Chun even sobbed. Every day when Zhan Wen went out, she was always worried, afraid that Zhan Wen would be seriously injured that day, or even... never come back. But because he had to feed the two of them, Zhan Wen could only rush to the front of the team to exchange for rewards. Lu Chun blamed herself countless times, why couldn't she become an evolved person, why couldn't she earn credit points, so that Zhan Wen wouldn't have to take such a huge risk.
Now, she finally saw hope. If she could raise some small mutant beasts at home, she could help supplement her life!
