Chapter 56 Chapter 056【VIP】
The multi-ecological farm was enormous, more than double the size of the pig farm. Originally, the Taoyuan base consisted of only poultry sheds and fish ponds. Besides the meat of mutated animals, the meat consisted of poultry and freshwater fish.
Without the pork, beef, and mutton everyone was used to eating before the apocalypse, the meat offerings at Taoyuan Base weren't particularly plentiful. The most notable characteristics of the mutated animals were their enormous size, abundant meat, and diverse flavors. Now that the farms had opened, they had suddenly expanded the meat selection. Even though the pig farms had a 30-day wait at the earliest, everyone was delighted.
Just like the recruitment process for slaughterhouses after their completion, pig farms and multi-ecological farms, when they announced they were hiring breeders, enthusiastic applicants abounded. Unlike slaughterhouses, however, the breeders were often older adults with experience in animal husbandry.
The men working in the slaughterhouse are all big and strong. They are strong and can cut meat using traditional methods.
As for breeding, experienced employees are needed.
Even in systematic breeding, well-built pig farms and multi-ecological farms, employees are needed to take care of them.
For example, artificial feed is far superior to system feed and can also reduce costs. Thankfully, the Taoyuan base has been upgraded from level 2 to level 3, allowing Mingzhu to build an additional 100 plots of farmland. The only drawback now is that the stockpiled building materials are insufficient after building the "brothel," the clinic, the restaurant, the pig farm, and the multi-ecological farm.
Mingzhu can only temporarily build 10 farmlands and upgrade them to the highest level, specifically for growing grass, soybeans and other raw materials that can be used as feed.
Subsequent farmland will be built when there are sufficient construction materials.
While Jinsuanpan was screening suitable employees, Mingzhu continued to "publicly advertise" the collection of basic materials.
This time, special note that stones and wood are most needed.
However, since it is still raining outside the base and floods still cover most areas, stones and wood are not so easy to obtain.
Fortunately, there are still some forests that have been purchased. If we work hard to save them, we can get more wood as soon as possible. Mingzhu simply put away the forests that he bought during the limited-time flash sale at midnight yesterday.
Last night, several hours passed unnoticed, and Jin Suanpan also concluded its recruitment. The new employees quickly took up their posts, managing the pig farm and the multi-ecological farm in perfect order.
"The piglets are so cute, but there are only 10 of them right now. We have to wait until they grow up and have their own babies."
Generally speaking, piglets and other livestock purchased from the Trans-Space Mall only take 15 days to mature. They can be customized in gender and bred.
If used for breeding, the 30-day maturity period is changed to the reproductive period. That is to say, the piglets can only officially enter the breeding period after being raised for 30 days.
According to the normal habit of pigs giving birth to one litter every three months, the gestation period of pigs produced by the system is shortened to 15 days.
This means that pregnancy and birth only take 15 days. As for the number of piglets born, it ranges from 8 to 25. The number is quite random, but pigs used for breeding go through the same normal lifespan as real pigs, experiencing illness, aging, and death. In other words, the pigs used for breeding on the farm will live the same length of time as real pigs do.
The current situation is that it is equivalent to starting a large pig herd with 10 piglets. In addition, the situation at the multi-ecological farm is the same.
Logically, there was no need to fill the staff quickly, but it was better to do it all at once than to hire again later. Miss Jin Suanpan was already an all-round secretary, adept at handling any aspect, and sometimes even looked more like the boss than Mingzhu.
Mingzhu is not needed in the Taoyuan base for the time being, so he plans to go for a walk outside while the flood is still spreading and the ground fissure disaster has not yet arrived.
Who would have thought that not long after making this decision, the incessant rain outside stopped, and then the flood that had submerged half of the world receded, revealing countless hideous, bottomless, huge cracks that looked like the abyss.
Their appearance instantly made the raging flood vanish without a trace. And because they appeared too suddenly, everything around the crack was inevitably swallowed up by the crack along with the flood.
There's nothing around here, no floods or...
And the cracks don't just stay still, but continue to change, either getting bigger or smaller.
If it shrinks, everything will be fine, and it might return to its original state without any cracks. But if it expands, it will probably eventually turn into one Great Rift Valley after another in East Africa.
If the latter is the case, the harm is only immediate. Over time, a completely new food chain will be formed.
This is the Great Rift Valley in Mingzhu's memory. Although it is known as the "scar of the earth", it still has rivers, forests, grasses, plants, and animals.
The cracks that are now all over the blue planet are the result of planetary changes. To put it simply, it is detoxification and evolution.
"The planet's leader confirmed Mingzhu's statement. It followed Mingzhu out and squatted at the edge of a relatively small crack, sighing sincerely.
"Even extreme cold weather is a self-regulation of the planet's evolution."
"Then zombies don't count..."
"To be precise, it's the appearance of zombies," 184 said seriously.
"Seriously, it's a good thing!"
Mingzhu nodded, agreeing with 184's point of view, and said.
More than a year passed like this, and shortly after Mingzhu officially arrived in this world, the 'detoxification program' of the planetary consciousness was officially launched.
It is estimated that after the one-year "detoxification process" is completed, the entire blue planet should be able to safely pass through the first stage of evolution.
"Hey, is this crack merging?"
Mingzhu was surprised, and the next moment he jumped away from the edge of the crack with 184 in his hand.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the cracks that were originally winding and climbing on the ground like centipedes are slowly closing.
It was as if a pair of invisible giants used their immense power to close the crack from both sides to the middle, just like artificially gathering sand. After about half an hour, the crack disappeared, and a winding, bizarrely shaped hill appeared in its place.
The strange shapes are due to the fact that the land is bare, with only hard rocks and dark red soil. If trees grew there, it would be rolling green mountains.
