Chapter 120 Add some features
"leader!"
"Well, are the crops we brought from the Wild Mountain Camp growing well in the Black Moon Camp?"
After simply signaling Zhao Geng not to be polite, Zhou Xu went straight to the point and stated the purpose of his visit.
"Chief, please rest assured. From what we can see so far, these crops are growing better after arriving here!"
When Zhao Geng said this, there was a hint of excitement in his tone.
Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are called oranges, while those grown in the north of the Huai River are called tangerines.
Although the mountain environment itself is not suitable for farming, these crops were planted there before and have adapted to the soil there.
When they arrived at the Black Moon Camp, the growth environment changed so much that what if the plants could not grow well or did not grow well due to "acclimatization"? This was a problem that Zhou Xu had been worried about.
Now it seems that he was worrying too much.
Thinking about it carefully, he was still somewhat confident about cultivating and fertilizing his own land.
And from what Zhao Geng had just said, he could completely confirm that the soil at their Black Moon Camp was indeed better than that at the Desolate Mountain Camp.
Zhou Xu was undoubtedly greatly relieved after getting this answer.
They have finally successfully opened the farming era for the tribe! Compared with the smooth progress on the farmland, the pheasants they brought back were raised in an average way.
As everyone knows, at the camp in the barren mountains, Zhou Xu directly chose to clip the pheasants' feathers, then built a fence in the forest and let them roam free.
But this cannot be done here in the Black Moon Camp.
It’s not because there is not enough space at their Black Moon Camp, but because there are no dense shelters like the mountains and forests at their Black Moon Camp for the pheasants to hide.
Simply put, in plain areas like this, birds of prey will fly over the sky from time to time.
For weak animals like pheasants and rabbits, if there is no cover for them to hide their bodies and avoid being hunted by birds of prey in the sky, then their "chicken farms" will soon become the "canteen" for those birds of prey in the sky.
If they want to avoid this, then they have only one way, which is to build a chicken coop.
But Zhou Xu doesn’t have this idea at the moment.
In this case, we have no choice but to change our thinking, which is to provide the pheasants with a more suitable breeding environment.
The most suitable one is undoubtedly the deserted mountain camp.
But the disadvantage of the Desolate Mountain Camp is that it is too far away from their other three camps. In other words, at the current stage, if all the pheasants are raised in the Desolate Mountain Camp, it will be very difficult for the other three camps to obtain chicken supplies.
Excluding the Desolate Mountain Camp, the Black Moon Camp and the Grassland Camp are not suitable. The most suitable camp at the moment is the Black Forest in the Salt Lake Camp.
The Salt Lake Camp itself is a functional camp, and Zhou Xu doesn't mind adding some more functions to the Salt Lake Camp.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu quickly thought about this matter in his mind.
There are many insects in the black forest, which can be freely hunted by pheasants. Under this premise, normal feed will of course be fed.
At the barren mountain camp, grass seeds are mainly used to feed the pheasants.
These grass seeds can be found everywhere in the mountains and after picking them, they are simply dried and become chicken feed.
Although Zhou Xu didn't know what these grass seeds were, since Wang Luchong had successfully grown the plants using these grass seeds, there shouldn't be any big problems.
During this period of time, Zhao Geng has already gone to the vicinity of the camp to confirm that there are also these near the Black Moon Camp, and the number is also large.
As an agricultural expert, Zhao Geng knows more than just farming. Don’t forget that raising livestock is also a part of agriculture.
Therefore, Zhao Geng was very familiar with some matters related to pheasant breeding.
Chicken feed can also be obtained at the Black Moon Camp, which is undoubtedly a great thing for Zhou Xu and his team.
This way, they wouldn't have to go through the trouble of transporting chicken feed from the camp in the deserted mountains.
After all, transporting chicken feed from the camp in the barren mountains on a regular basis is a laborious task in itself, and most importantly, it will consume their important transportation capacity.
At this moment, Zhou Xu's demand for bamboo is very high. Simply put, the transport team does not need to worry about anything else when going to the camp in the barren mountains. They just need to bring back the bamboos in truckloads.
Under this premise, dispersing transportation capacity to transport other things will undoubtedly affect the development and construction of their camp.
After approaching the Ministry of Agriculture, Zhou Xu quickly talked about building a chicken farm in the Black Woods area of the Salt Lake Camp.
To this end, the Ministry of Agriculture will need to assign several personnel to be stationed in the Salt Lake Camp to establish an agricultural branch there.
For this matter, Zhou Xu even specifically asked the equipment department for help to speed up the work and urgently made a batch of fences.
The number of pheasants they brought back from the camp in the deserted mountains this time was only about thirty, which was not a large number, so it was completely fine to make the fence smaller in the initial stage.
Once these thirty pheasants hatch chicks and their numbers increase, there will be plenty of time to expand the scale.
The Ministry of Agriculture quickly completed the arrangements and rushed to the Salt Lake Camp with thirty pheasants and several carts of prepared fences.
The distance between the two camps is relatively close, and there are wooden carts to improve transportation efficiency, so it can basically be reached in half a day.
As soon as the personnel arrived, the agricultural branch at the Salt Lake Camp was established.
At the same time, at the Black Moon Camp, all departments were operating at high speed.
After a while, Zhou Xu finally seized the opportunity and looked through the attribute panels of the fifty new members he brought back.
Wow, all of them are two-star troops again! Although in terms of talent this time, just discovering Zhao Geng is already a big gain.
But Zhou Xu really didn't expect that the remaining ones were all two-star legions.
This mood is still a bit melancholy.
For a moment, he really couldn't figure out whether he had been too lucky before or Wang Luchong had been too unlucky.
After that, he rested for a while. After the power of the mantra he had consumed was completely restored, he perked up and began to study the mantra he had obtained from Wang Luchong before.
There is no way. Studying the mantra and trying it out also takes time.
In Zhou Xu's opinion, it is more important to first confirm the panel of the new member to see if any talents can be discovered.
As for the truth...
On the one hand, he had already absorbed it and couldn't throw it away, so it didn't matter if he put it aside for a while.
On the other hand, Wang Luchong's mantras were scattered, and at a glance, they seemed meaningless. In addition, he had more priority things to do, and he was so busy every day that he had no time to study.
It was not until this day when my condition recovered and I had some free time that I found a place to sit down and began to study the new mantra.
