The ambitious silkworm breeding program officially began.
Because the products of this era grow very quickly, although the growth and maturity periods are roughly similar to those of the past.
However, the creatures that arise in Lu Yuan's dimensional space are different from other creatures. They not only react quickly and grow rapidly, but also have exceptionally high quality. This is why the creatures in Lu Yuan's dimensional space are more formidable than those outside.
Watching basket after basket of silkworm cocoons being carried out, Lu Yuan felt a surge of joy.
However, another idea suddenly popped into my mind: if I could cultivate the creatures in the dimensional space into the giant beasts outside and then tame them, it might not be so troublesome to hunt them.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but recall what Da Huang looked like before.
Both Big Yellow and the Giant Beast got lost after Lu Yuan was imprisoned by the Blue Star people.
So far, no one has been able to find any news about them.
Lu Yuan felt a pang of heartache when he thought of Egg Yolk. Egg Yolk was his childhood playmate, and although it was just a country dog, it was extremely important to Lu Yuan, almost on par with his family.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan immediately abandoned his idea of taming animals.
This kind of thing is laborious and thankless, and it takes a long time. It may even bring disaster upon oneself.
He didn't want to see that happen again, so he planned to wait until the time was right, stabilize his life here, and then talk about other things.
Animal domestication requires a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, which they cannot easily handle at their current level, as they do not have enough manpower or energy.
Lu Yuan finally wrote down the story of taming animals in his notebook to prevent himself from forgetting it; this was a good habit he had developed since the apocalypse.
Whenever an idea comes to mind, I usually write it down in a notebook. That way, when I remember it, I can take it out and look at it to keep myself occupied.
The silkworm cocoons hatch very quickly; after about half a month, they had finished making the first net.
This net, about 20 meters wide and 5 meters high, is used to fish downstream of a river dam. Such a large net prevents the fish from feeling trapped, making the net less likely to be torn or bitten.
They placed the fishing net at the edge of the dam, with two nets in the middle, so that they could easily catch fish while controlling the net.
The thought of being able to eat fish freely in the future brought joy to everyone in the family.
"Haha, I wonder how the fish in this water taste? They look pretty good!"
"Last time we couldn't bear to eat fresh fish and turned it all into dried fish. This time we can eat as much as we want!"
"We absolutely have to eat as much as we want! This fish looks incredibly nutritious and delicious!"
Everyone was looking forward to it. At this moment, Zhou Tong glanced at the time and felt that it should be about time. He ran to the front of the dam to observe the progress of the work, then went to inspect another section of the dam, and then immediately found Lu Yuan.
"Brother, everything's almost ready, when are we going to open the floodgates?"
Lu Yuan glanced at the time and said, "Let's wait until tonight. When it gets dark and the tide comes in, we'll open the sluice gate. There will definitely be a lot of fish coming at the first sluice gate. This river is more than 500 meters long. If we can trap the fish in this river, we'll have enough to eat for a long time!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's face lit up with a hint of joy.
So everyone waited quietly until it got dark and the water began to slowly rise.
When Lu Yuan saw the water rise to the dam's mouth, he immediately ordered the sluice gates to be opened.
With a sound of a sluice gate being opened, the barrier behind the distant rocky beach was pulled away.
The moment the baffle was pulled open, a torrent of water rushed in, and the dug channel was quickly filled.
As the water rushed into the canal, everyone could clearly see that there were indeed many fish swimming in. When they saw these large fish, some of which were more than half a meter or a meter long, flowing in, everyone's face showed excitement.
Lu Yuan knew that these were just small fish; the real big fish were tens of meters long or even longer.
As the water flowed and filled the canal, Lu Yuan sensed that there were no more fish. He immediately ordered the sluice gate to be closed and the canal blocked with fishing nets. This way, the water flow would not be affected, but the fish inside would not be able to escape. They could easily catch fish in there if they wanted.
Everyone looked at the fish in the ditch, and smiles of satisfaction appeared on their faces.
"Now I don't have to worry about eating fish anymore, I can catch fish anytime, anywhere!"
"Yes, the water is at most five meters deep, so there's basically no major risk!"
"The key is that the fish won't swim too far; it stays in the same little area, so you can move it around and catch it whenever you want!"
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lu Yuan was also thrilled.
After all, once they solved the food problem, they could focus on developing other things.
However, in order to study whether these fish also had those crystals in their heads, Lu Yuan decided to investigate first.
