Chapter 505 Breeding Experimental Field (Ⅱ)

Shaman looked at the centaur man who was still struggling and cursing under the harness and shackles, and said indifferently: "Male centaur are mostly irritable, fierce and aggressive, and if they want to capture a large number of these bad-tempered boys, I'm afraid Not an easy job."

"This is all thanks to General Hook's strong support and the gift of His Excellency the Pope."

Baldwin deliberately put on an air of reverence.

"In order to support my breeding work, Your Excellency, General, specially wrote to request the Pope to grant me a 'Gantias Root', and if I get this reward, I can use the magic power in the root to create wither monsters, Order them to hunt the lone centaur in the forest outside the town, and then secretly send them to this underground testing ground through tunnels, where they will be imprisoned as stallions."

When Shaman heard him mention "Gantias Root", his face twitched unnaturally, and the words he said also had a sour taste.

"You are really lucky, Henry, according to the regulations of the order, usually only high-ranking 'blighters' like me have the opportunity to obtain the 'Gantias Root' rewarded by the Pope, and you even' Blighters' are not counted, but they made an exception to receive this generous gift, it seems that Your Excellency the General has said a lot of good things for you in front of the Pope, you must not disappoint his expectations."

"Of course! This whole year I have been doing my best to serve the order, and I have asked Master Shaman to testify for me."

"I know it in my heart, let's get down to business, Henry, I heard that centaur swearing at you all the time, accusing you of kidnapping him is reasonable, but what he resents even more is that you forced him to breed with a mare, as if you were hurt Shame and humiliation?" Sharman asked curiously.

Baldwin smiled, as if he had anticipated Sharman's question, and explained calmly: "The similarity between humans and horses is actually not as good as that of us humans and orangutans. Lord Sharman, please allow me to make an impolite analogy." —Can you think that way about a fluffy female monkey without first taking special drugs?"

Shaman shook his head and laughed: "Of course not."

Baldwin spread his arms and laughed.

"In the same way, how can a centaur man like a female horse?"

"In order to force them to breed with female horses, we had to inject the medicine invented by the alchemists into the centaurs. The experimental results showed that the medicine was quite effective."

"You mentioned the female horse just now, which gave me an idea. Since male centaurs can give birth to hybrid foals with female horses, can female centaurs breed with male horses?"

"In theory yes, but in reality we're not going to do it."

Baldwin further explained to Sharman from the level of animal husbandry technology.

"According to the practice in our animal husbandry industry, people always use a few strong male horses to breed with many female horses. One male horse can meet the reproductive needs of dozens of female horses, so the term 'stallion' came into being."

"This principle is also applicable in our test field. We have also tried to use captive female centaurs and male horses to breed, but female horses are easy to get, but female centaurs are very rare, and the efficiency of breeding offspring is far inferior to the former taller, so we're more interested in capturing strong male centaurs to serve as stallions."

Baldwin pointed to the centaur man who was released from prison, and then pointed to the corral next to the mare, with a malicious smile on his face.

"Master Shaman, are you interested in visiting the breeding site?"

"Forget it, it's not too late to enjoy this good show when you have time." Sharman waved his hands uninterestedly, and then asked Baldwin: "There are a total of forty female horses here, but only eight male horses. , that is to say, a man and a horse have to do that with at least five mares every day, won't it be too hard?"

"It's more than one pair of five. When the stallion is out of stock, it is common for one stallion to deal with ten females every day."

Baldwin shrugged with a wry smile.

"Master Shaman also knows that the 'Iron Hoof Tribe' is not easy to mess with. If they find out about the work I am doing, they will definitely not spare me! In order to avoid alerting the Iron Hoof Tribe, I dare not send the 'Blight Monster' frequently. 'Going into the mountains to capture centaurs, so the number of stallions in the proving grounds has been tight."

"On the other hand, centaurs are not real horses after all, and the chance of successful conception is much lower than that of normal horses. Based on previous statistics, on average, there is only about one in 20 chances of breaking through. Reproductive isolation."

"In order to increase the pregnancy rate, we can only increase the frequency of breeding. For this reason, we have to frequently inject the alchemy potion that stimulates the horses."

"Drug abuse coupled with high-intensity day and night work will inevitably cause great physical and mental damage to male centaurs. Usually, the body will completely collapse after less than a month."

Baldwin said helplessly.

"How do you deal with those people who have lost their value?" Shaman asked.

"Of course I can't just let them go. In order to keep the secrets of the underground test site, I can only execute them secretly, destroy their bodies, and then replace them with a group of young and strong new stallions."

There was no trace of pity in Baldwin's words, but he was quite proud of his efficient working method.

"In the final analysis, a stallion is just a living 'tool' for breeding fine-bred foals, and it would not be a pity to destroy the scrapped tools."

Having said that, Baldwin suddenly smiled slyly, and gave Sharman a look that any man could understand.

"As for the beautiful female centaurs that are captured by the way, I prefer to keep them for myself, or to entertain distinguished guests like you. After tonight's visit, I will arrange a wonderful show for you."

"Snake Hand" Sharman nodded knowingly, with a sinister smile on his lips.

"I'm looking forward to your hospitality, but before that, Henry, I have a question about the breeding experiment to ask you."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. Although I am not talented, I still have a good understanding of every key link in the breeding process. Maybe I can answer your questions." Baldwin said respectfully.

"You mentioned just now that a male centaur has only a small chance of impregnating a female horse. Logically speaking, the hybrid offspring produced in this way should have the appearance characteristics of both parents. However, in fact, the appearance of the hybrid offspring looks like A real horse does not have the slightest traits of a centaur, so why would there be such an unreasonable result?"

Sharman asked Baldwin in confusion.
