The scale of the pig farm naturally cannot be small. Now that land is free, there is plenty of land available. As long as we can produce the cement, there will be no problem.
I plan to build a pig farm, with a capacity of at least 10,000 pigs. As for the pig feed, I can use a large amount of potato rootstock and some other fast-growing wild vegetables.
Pig farms are large in scale and are not easy to build.
The most cheerful ones during this period were Haru and the others. They almost never stopped working, immediately starting the next project as soon as one was finished.
Haru was busy with this and enjoyed it immensely. Every time they completed a major project, their perverse desire for conquest was greatly satisfied.
I never imagined that one day we would unite with our former enemies to build a completely new home.
Moreover, this homeland seems to be gradually moving towards modernization, but the protozoa are still a troublesome problem.
They are like a sword hanging over our heads, ready to fall at any moment if we're not careful.
These Protozoa are like a thorn in everyone's heart; no one will feel at peace until they are pulled out.
But how can we get rid of these damned things? This problem has been bothering us for over twenty years, and solving it is no easy task.
This problem dragged on for months, and we still had no solution. Then the rainy season arrived again, and the heavy rains continued, seemingly even more torrential than in previous years.
The water level of that river kept rising without stopping, and the river water had already spread to the location of the irrigation canal we had dug.
This location may seem not far, only about ten meters away, but for every meter the river widens, it means an additional 100 million tons of water.
The river's water level has now reached its highest level in twenty years, which makes me feel uneasy.
In my world, there have been many stories about prehistoric cataclysmic floods.
If that day ever comes, I wonder if this world will actually come to be.
I know that from a scientific perspective, a cataclysmic flood is a very real possibility. Because of the Proterozoa, the current concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached an alarming level.
Such high levels of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere will raise global temperatures and exacerbate the greenhouse effect.
Glaciers in cold regions will melt, and evaporation from the sea surface will intensify. Large amounts of water vapor will drift inland with cumulonimbus clouds, resulting in widespread heavy rainfall.
Is it possible that one problem has barely subsided before another arises?
The problem of the Prosopa invasive algae in our area has not been completely resolved yet. Could it be that a chain reaction will cause another massive flood?
Although we are still far from a cataclysmic flood, the massive flood that we are witnessing, which is a once-in-a-lifetime event, is still quite alarming.
Fortunately, the place where we docked the ark had a U-shaped harbor that could block the oncoming floods. Otherwise, given the ark's enormous size, the current pushing this behemoth would have been impossible for humans to stop.
While anchors can prevent arks from moving, most arks are made of wood, so they may not necessarily prevent the anchor from separating from the hull.
The more serious problem now is that much of the soil along our coast has been swept away by the floods, and even some places near the canals have been either destroyed or completely blocked by silt.
Twenty more days passed, and the rain showed no sign of stopping. The torrential rain continued to pour large amounts of water into the already raging river, and the water level was rising at an alarming rate.
The leaders of the three parties could no longer sit still. This couldn't go on. We had to transfer all the food to the ark as soon as possible.
If we wait until the virus spreads to the vicinity of the granaries, our pre-prepared dried grain will be completely ruined. Once this grain is soaked in water, a large amount of it piled up together will generate a lot of heat inside.
The rate at which food rots will reach an alarming level, and the duration of the great flood is unknown; this food is crucial to our survival.
So grain and livestock began to be transferred onto the ark, and the interior space of the ark, which was tens of meters high, became the perfect space to store large amounts of food.
Inside the ship, which is tens of meters high, there is a storage space every two meters. There are as many as twenty-five such spaces, which are connected by a spiral wooden staircase.
These storage spaces are more than enough to store the grain we harvested this year.
The bottom layer wasn't filled with grains, but rather with various industrial raw materials refined from different ores, arranged in categories. This layer mainly consisted of finished iron sand and other metals.
Food storage took up six floors of our interior space. The closer to the deck, the more spacious the interior became, and these areas could be used as dwellings for a large number of tribesmen and Haru.
With everyone living there, the space was naturally smaller than on land. However, times had changed, and in order to escape the disaster, one couldn't be too concerned about such details.
We also have ten large transport ships that have been built and docked at the ports of both locations. These ships were previously responsible for transporting large quantities of timber to provide building materials for the Ark.
Later, as the land-based engineering was being carried out, these large ships were mainly used to transport ore and finished cement along waterways to various locations.
These ships, with only minor temporary modifications, can still accommodate a large number of people and store supplies.
After all, more people may be born in the future, so it is a wise move to prepare the land in advance.
It took several months to transport all the food and other supplies into the space inside the ark.
The rain didn't stop for a moment during this time, making our already uneasy hearts even more anxious. Sometimes we were really afraid that we would wake up one day to find ourselves completely surrounded by a great flood.
To lighten the burden on the Ark, we explicitly forbade Haru from continuing their rampant reproduction in order to satisfy their irresistible desires.
For this reason, I have also produced a large number of ancient sausage casings, horn bells, Burmese bells, bronze ancestral tablets, pottery ancestral tablets, and wooden ancestral tablets for everyone to choose from and use.
At first, everyone was naive and didn't know what these strange things were for, but their learning ability proved to be quite strong.
People's instinctive desires led them to quickly adapt to the convenience brought by these small tools. Although they didn't have the same sense of fulfillment as those who used them directly, they were still good for relieving boredom.
