"Don't worry, it's too expensive to preserve blood for a long time. My medical department also conducts blood storage in Havana. It is impossible to travel so far to Veracruz."
"I mainly want to increase the number of healthy women in the Legion. We have a serious imbalance between men and women, which has caused many social problems."
"In the task of procreating offspring, a man only needs to ejaculate a bag of pus, and a woman needs to conceive for ten months. A man's sperm can also be frozen and preserved, but a woman's penis is irreplaceable. So women are very important!"
Lena Fox explained on the radio that the reason for sending multiple medical teams was to attract a large number of women to Havana at a relatively small cost. This made Zhou Qingfeng heave a sigh of relief after learning about it.
At the end of the communication, Lina asked about Zhou Qingfeng's current job. As a result, Uncle Zhou said with a gloomy face: "The maggot raising business went smoothly, but the inspection was not so pleasant."
The so-called 'Maggot Raising' is an important part of the food production plan carried out by the 'Aurora Legion'. The success of the plan is related to the life and death of many people.
A few months ago, when the 'Aurora Legion' was still on the Great Abaco Island, Zhou Qingfeng and Lina began to prepare for the upcoming nuclear bomb cleansing. Knowing that nuclear winter will destroy the Earth's ecosystem, the two named their plan 'Noah's Ark'.
To put it bluntly, this is a plan to try to restore species diversity after nuclear winter. At that time, no matter if it was flying in the sky, swimming in the water, or running on the ground, as long as all kinds of animals and plants could be obtained, the army would arrange manpower to reserve them. Even if you can't get the living ones, you have to get the dead ones to keep the DNA.
As a sub-project of the "Noah's Ark" plan, the restoration of agriculture and animal husbandry has become a top priority. At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that various crops and poultry and livestock can leave enough species to restore the population in the future.
It has been three months since the nuclear winter, and the "Aurora Legion" has settled down in Havana. As early as when it built a greenhouse to grow vegetables, the legion specially appointed Deng Chengwen, who was sent to dig coal, as the director of agriculture, and began to raise vegetables. The matter of raising pigs and chickens for farming.
But pigs and chickens need feed, but there is no sun in nuclear winter and the temperature is low, so don’t count on ordinary farming to get feed. When Deng Chengwen built a large-scale greenhouse to grow bean seedlings, he took aim at another thing that can live without sunlight-maggots, which are often seen in rural cesspit. larva.
It's disgusting, isn't it? But this thing is a treasure!
Maggots, starting from eggs, only need twelve hours to hatch, grow very fast, become pupas in four or five days, and emerge as adults in three days. Adults are flies, which can lay eggs after three to five days, and lay one or two hundred eggs at a time. A pair of houseflies can reproduce up to 20 times a year, and their offspring can reach 200 million.
Maggots are high-quality protein, which can be used to extract protein powder and develop advanced nutritional products and medicines. Don't underestimate it because it is disgusting, although it likes to live on humus such as feces, garbage, and corpses.
Well... maggots are really disgusting. But it has the advantage that it can be used to feed chickens. Chickens are not easy to get sick after eating, grow fast and produce more eggs. Let's eat eggs and chicken, so it won't be disgusting.
In order to provide enough meat, the 'Aurora Legion' decided to start with raising maggots. The first thing is to look for humus, no need to think about it, it is feces. The racial talent of the Chinese in farming is no joke. When the ancestors used fermented feces and urine as fertilizer, Europeans thought it was magic.
Sorcery, you bastard, if you have the guts, starve to death!
Since there is no pig manure and chicken manure, the manure of more than 300,000 people in Havana has become the first choice for raising maggots. When the maggot farming industry developed in Havana, Zhou Qingfeng happened to take over the city of Merida in the Yucatan region. There are really no special resources in this ghost place, but no matter what, the excrement of half a million people cannot be wasted.
do not laugh,
Look at my face, this is a serious matter, related to the development of the Legion, so everyone use feces to raise maggots!
In order to do a good job in this matter, Zhou Qingfeng mobilized 10,000 Mexican laborers to build a greenhouse. The portable boilers are in stock locally, and the fuel can be the dry grass that is everywhere in the Yucatan Peninsula. By the way, the flat Yucatan has a savannah climate, nothing else, dead grass everywhere.
The simple greenhouse was made into a semi-underground hollow insulation mode, and Havana also supported 500 technicians. Hmm..., apart from repairing the greenhouse, the biggest skill of this group of technicians is to prepare manure. Zhou Qingfeng went to inspect it once, and then he never wanted to go again.
Anyway, it is to accumulate and ferment the feces and add various humus, such as animal carcasses, rotten fruits and the like. No corpses and fruit? Then there is no problem with light and big dung. As long as chickens and pigs are raised in the future, there will always be dead animals of various kinds.
Zhou Qingfeng's maggot raising factory initially built 500 rooms. Havana provided the seed flies. Under the hand-in-hand training of technicians, the local Mexican laborers quickly learned how to raise these things. To put it bluntly, the most important thing is to keep the temperature constant, don't freeze the maggots to death, and wait slowly for the rest, don't worry about it.
A maggot raising room is about two meters high and 100 square meters, with more than ten layers of wooden shelves. Because the maggots grow very fast, after four or five days, the laborers will start harvesting non-stop. Each maggot raising room can produce three to four tons of fresh maggots every day, and the daily output of 500 maggot raising rooms is nearly 2,000 tons.
Generally speaking, a greenhouse should be built near the maggot raising room to continue raising chickens and pigs. Modern broilers can be slaughtered in 40 days, laying hens even lay an egg a day, and pigs can also eat dried maggots. In this way, production and self-help can be started in nuclear winter.
But Zhou Qingfeng is very ghostly, the Yucatan region is not under his direct control, and only maggots are raised here. After the maggots were raised, they were shipped to the chicken farm in Havana. He would rather go through this effort than let the people in the Enclave see the actual chickens and pigs.
In case Zhou Qingfeng was exposed by the "Enclave" and had to retreat that day, he could have yelled, "There is something that you eat maggots in the dung, it is very nutritious." '
And because of the constant feed of maggots, Havana's chicken farms and pig farms began to open after nuclear winter. The earliest layers and broilers are starting to lay eggs to hatch more offspring, the first sows are producing their first generation of piglets, and the entire farming industry is slowly expanding.
"Hey, 500 maggot raising rooms are still too few! We should build another 1,000 rooms in the second batch. Only in this way can we have more meat, eggs and poultry supplies." Zhou Qingfeng's confidence increased greatly after the completion of the first phase of the project. Start recruiting more Mexican laborers, collecting more feces, and producing more maggots with a wave of your hand.
"In other words, the matter of raising maggots should be promoted. There are tens of millions of people in Mexico City. How much feces can be produced? How many maggots can be raised? We only need to grasp that the chicken breeds will not die, and the enemy can help us , even shit is in our favor."
After giving the order, Zhou Qingfeng said solemnly: "This incident must be recorded. We must let future generations know that for the continuation and development of human beings, I will not let go of excrement and urine. What a great sacrifice I made. !” (To be continued.)
