85. Big Chicken Coop
A few hours later, Yan Ziyan was sent back to school as a survivor. The school arranged a psychologist for her and did not let her return to the dormitory until the evening.
After experiencing such a terrible thing, Yan Ziyan didn't dare to sleep alone and insisted on sharing a bed with Su Liu.
In the middle of the night, Su Liu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and Yan Ziyan was the same.
Having witnessed the entire process of the military fighting the monsters, Yan Ziyan felt fear but also admiration.
"I just realized how dangerous it is to fight against alien beasts. I think Purifiers are truly great. So, such a young Zi'ai is really amazing. Of course, you, Liuliu, are the same."
Curled up and hugging her knees, Yan Ziyan looked at the ceiling in confusion.
"I always wanted to become a Purifier, a bit out of spite, hoping to impress those who looked down on me. But after last night, I realized I might not have the courage to face the beast head-on."
Those things are so terrifying, rampant, powerful, and brutal. Ordinary humans are more fragile than paper in front of them.
Yan Ziyan was so scared that she shivered like a chick in the cold wind just thinking about those shocking death scenes.
In the darkness, Su Liu stretched out his hand and held Yan Ziyan's fingers tightly.
"Zi Yan, you don't have to make a decision now."
"We are still young and have a long time to decide the direction of the future."
"The road that is difficult to predict now may take an unexpected turn at some point in time."
Just like her, before the coming of Jörmungandr, she never thought that someone as mediocre and boring as herself could become a great and rare purifier.
Enrich yourself first, gain more choices, and when the time is right, fate will make you make the decision.
As the dawn was about to end and the morning light arrived, the two finally fell into a light sleep.
The suicide attacks in Sky City are far from over.
In the afternoon, Su Liu was watching the news in the office in the planting area. The head of the military base repeatedly apologized to the public and the media and answered questions at the press conference.
But in the face of public anger, the base still chose to conceal too many things.
This is understandable. In order to maintain social stability and the rule of the empire, the people do not really have the so-called right to know.
Ying Tianqing is a planter and will spend most of this winter vacation in the fields.
She stayed at the college for the past few days and was still frightened after learning about the tragic situation in the city from the news.
"Luckily, you're already a Purifier, so you have the ability to fight monsters. Otherwise, if you had encountered something like yesterday, you'd probably be shit by now."
Su Liu imagined his body being digested into a huge ball of poop, with only his head sticking out, and he couldn't help but feel it was weird.
"The military has recently issued a notice asking citizens not to gather in crowded places. Seniors, it's safer for you to stay in the academy."
Ying Tianqing said, "I understand. The hospital has notified the students several times, asking them to pay attention to safety."
The two continued watching the news, but they couldn't bear to watch any further because some of the leaked images were too tragic.
Afterwards, Su Liu went to his livestock area.
The eels, sweet shrimps, snowy owls, etc. brought back from Bingling Star cannot be raised due to limited conditions here, so they are temporarily handed over to the Imperial Ministry of Agriculture and the Purifiers Association for management and breeding.
However, there are still nearly a hundred purified chickens, which are kept and raised by the school and will be returned to Su Liu when she opens a chicken farm.
In the livestock area, Yan Ziyan was discussing drawings with several workers.
The chicken farm is right next to the sheep pen, and it also needs to install automated breeding equipment, and also consider clean water sources and chicken feed.
The former was left to Yan Ziyan to arrange, and the latter was what Su Liu needed to consider.
The water source is drawn from the river and will undergo a complete filtering, sterilization and disinfection process to minimize the infection rate of strange factors.
The chickens are fed with Sudan grass from the Sulu species and a mixture of sweet potatoes and corn.
In addition, there is something that is very suitable as chicken feed.
Su Liu opened the grower group and purchased bran at the price of 1 star coin for 10 kilograms.
There was a lot of discussion in the group.
What does the schoolgirl want bran for? Compost again?
【It can't be for eating, right? 】
Su Liu replied: [To feed chickens]
What? Feeding chickens? Chickens eat bran?
Can bran really be fed to chickens? Do chickens eat it?
[Anyway, I've never seen chickens fed with bran. This schoolmate is really creative.]
…
Seeing that everyone was surprised, Su Liu was too lazy to explain.
The textbook says that the chicken feed in StarCraft is produced by the Ministry of Agriculture and then put on the market.
The specific ingredients are probably animal bone powder, plant fragments, and a new type of insect rich in protein that is similar to maggots and can reproduce several tons instantly under specific conditions.
This kind of insect is the main source of feed for chickens, ducks and geese. It has been widely used because it is cheap, abundant and safe.
All the growers in Maha who raise poultry directly purchase this cheap feed that is manufactured.
However, eating these alone is not enough.
Chickens, like humans, also need rich nutrition, from protein, vitamins, amino acids to calcium, phosphorus and other essential elements.
The chicken feed on the market is too monotonous and cannot meet the growth needs of chickens, which results in the chicken having a bland taste.
Su Liu didn't plan to spend money to buy chicken feed. He could make a perfect feed by using the purchased bran, Sudan grass dry material, insects in the pasture, sweet potatoes and corn kernels, etc.
There are many people in the group who grow wheat, and the bran is of no use and is basically burned in industrial furnaces.
Although the purchase price offered by Su Liu was very low, it was still 10 kilograms for 1 star coin. It would be better for her to recycle it herself, which was not only labor-saving but also profitable.
In a short time, Su Liu received dozens of private messages asking her to purchase bran.
Su Liu simply rented a car to collect the bran and collected 2,500 kilograms of bran at a price of 250 star coins.
After returning to the farm, the chicken coop had just been completed. The school sent more than 90 chickens, which were signed for by Yan Ziyan and put into the chicken coop.
Seeing Su Liu carrying bags of bran to the warehouse, Yan Ziyan also went up to work as a porter.
The eldest daughter had never done hard labor before and had delicate skin and tender flesh, but now she has been trained and can carry two ten-kilogram bags of bran without any problem.
It just makes my body itchy and very uncomfortable.
"You're going to use bran as chicken feed? Do chickens really want to eat that?"
"Of course, chickens have been eating bran since ancient times," Su Liu said proudly. "And 250 star coins can buy more than 2,000 kilograms of chicken feed. Isn't that dozens of times cheaper than the chicken feed on the market?"
After moving the goods, Yan Ziyan supported her almost broken waist and pointed at a pile of sweet potatoes in the corner and asked, "What about those? Are we going to throw them directly to the chickens?"
"To chop it up, I'll buy a large automatic chopping and blending machine, then throw the grass, bran, corn kernels, sweet potatoes, etc. into it, and what comes out is chicken feed."
