Chapter 420 Wild Elephant Convoy

So far this year, blood exhaustion and borneol have brought in almost $3.9 million in revenue for the forest farm. Combined with the timber harvested in the A01\A02 area, there is theoretically another $1.1 million in revenue. Musk, herbs, and timber add up to an estimated $26 million in revenue for the plant.

Of course, the wood in it will be more troublesome. In order to sell them, you first have to find a way to transport them out of the primeval forest. The animal trainer mentioned by Yelena inspired Feng Tiance, and he decided to use wild elephants to transport wood.

"Feng Dong, are you sure that using elephants to transport timber is a feasible way?"

After Qi Xiuyuan heard this suggestion, he looked dazed. After all, he is not a native of the tropics, and he does not understand the situation at all...... For example, elephants are used to transport timber from primeval forests, which Southeast Asian countries have been doing since ancient times.

After Feng Tiance's explanation, he was skeptical and said that he could give it a try.

The day before the New Year, Feng Tiance appeared in the A01 area with eight wild elephants.

In the area, the trees that have been cut down have been piled up by workers in the open spaces everywhere. Feng Tiance wants to test the feasibility of using wild elephants to transport timber today.

There was also a dark and thin middle-aged man who had been following the wild elephant team. His name is Sen Langxi, and he is an animal trainer, the one that Ye Lina introduced to Feng Tiance before.

After Feng Tiance met Sen Langxi, he immediately decided to hire him. Of course, Senlangxi's ability to tame beasts is far less powerful than the legend, but there are still some real skills. For example, he can use elephants and domesticate cheetahs.

Therefore, Feng Tiance hired Sen Langxi as a consultant at a high price of $6,000 per month. It is responsible for training the workers of the forest farm so that they can easily communicate with the wild elephants and transport the accumulated timber out.

At the same time, Feng Tiance also had some gains of his own, at least he learned how to make wild animals understand his simple commands. There were some tricks in it, many times stronger than what he had ever figured out before.

Needless to say, these wild elephants were brought out of space by him. For this matter, he also went to the depths of the forest in the past two days to catch a lot of wild elephants into the space...... At the same time, the nodes connected with space are also advancing to the deepest part of the primeval forest step by step.

"Mr. Feng, these wild elephants have been domesticated for a relatively short time, and they may break out and hurt people while working. You can get the workers to pay more attention...... Then I'll give you an example now. ”

As he spoke, Sen Langxi asked a few workers to help him put on protective gear for one of the wild elephants.

The armor is like a piece of leather armor worn on the body of a wild elephant. There are a lot of thick iron rings on the leather armor, which are used to hold several chains in place. The chain is dragged behind the elephant and used to tie the wood, so that the elephant can drag the vertical timber out of the primeval forest to the bottom of the mountain.

The demonstration of Senlang Creek was very successful, and the wild elephant obediently dragged the wood forward. And Senlangxi's orders are also very simple, such as, forward, stop, turn left and right, fast and slow, and so on...... The selected workers quickly learned.

"Let me tell you...... Violent beatings are strictly forbidden during the transport of timber by wild elephants. At the same time, the wild elephants should be given plenty of time to rest and eat. At the end of the day, take off the elephant's protective gear and let them move around the forest on their own, and they will appear at the construction site the next day. I repeat, we don't pursue efficiency, we just move the wood slowly. ”

In the past, when wild elephants were used as a means of transportation, some people desperately squeezed the physical strength of wild elephants for the sake of profit. There are even wild elephants that are exhausted to death...... Feng Tiance would never allow this to happen.

Then, Feng Tiance went from wild elephant to elephant to reassure, as if whispering in their ears. In fact, he was making a show, and he had already communicated with the wild elephants when he took them out of the space.

"Mr. Feng, although you have not undergone formal training in animal taming, your progress in animal bonding is higher than mine. And, I've found you to have a natural affinity. So when you master a few tricks, you'll definitely become a much better animal trainer than I am. ”

Sen Langxi felt that his role was very limited, and the little dry goods in his stomach had almost been cleaned up.

"Master Senlangxi, I need you to train some junior beast tamers for me. Of course, I'm not going to put you in my forest farm, you just need to make a certain amount of time a month to come a few times. ”

On the one hand, Feng Tiance needs to learn some formal animal taming skills, and on the other hand, he needs a signboard to block in front of him. And Senlang Creek is a sign he offered.

"Haha, Mr. Feng is really a generous person. I have no problem here, of course, I have a small request, I hope that Mr. Feng can say a few more kind words for me on some social occasions. ”

Sen Langxi is obviously a person who can manage himself, and what he really values is not Feng Tiance's salary of thousands of dollars every month, but Feng Tiance's connections and influence.

Feng Tiance nodded, talking to smart people is to save trouble. The tacit understanding between the two was reached in such casual small talk......

"I said Feng Dong, your method is really feasible...... Later, I asked someone else, and many people in Southeast Asia raise wild elephants as domestic animals. ”

Qi Xiuyuan was finally convinced, and he was still thinking about whether to ask someone to domesticate a wild elephant as a mount.

In fact, Feng Tiance wanted to move all the wood to the warehouse, which was a matter of blink of an eye. He made it so complicated, one was that he didn't want to arouse suspicion, and the other was that he wanted to train a team out.

These selected workers will later be dedicated to the field elephants. They are also a convoy, especially in the jungle.

"Mr. Qi, we must first ensure the health and safety of wild elephants, and do not need to pursue efficiency. As you know, the income from the tree farm never comes from harvesting timber. ”

Feng Tiance thought about it, but still emphasized. As long as he doesn't put pressure on his men, no one will crush wild elephants.

"I know, don't worry. When the work of collecting incense from the forest musk deer is almost over, I will start to make incense artificially. This is the highlight of our new year. ”

Qi Xiuyuan understood that these timbers, even musk, were only a small part of the income of the forest farm. The bulk is still in agarwood, and the sales of agarwood are calculated in hundreds of millions.

"Okay, I'll leave first if there's nothing else to do, and you continue to do your work. ”

Coming out of Qi Xiuyuan's office, he went to look at the transportation of timber again. The wild elephants dragged the timber to the foot of the mountain, and a special person was responsible for untying the chains and removing the timber. Then let them drink, eat, and rest..... Wild elephants will slowly return the same way.

In the past few days, Feng Tiance has successively added ten wild elephants to the transport team, and the transportation capacity has also improved a lot. At the same time, the felling of trees in the A01 area has been completed, and the lumberjacks have begun to move to the A02 area.

"You've worked hard these days, and you're giving the entire transport team three days off from tomorrow. When you come back from vacation, let's go to the A02 area. ”

At present, about half of the timber left in the A01 area has not been shipped out, but Feng Tiance suddenly announced a holiday, and the workers of the transportation team did not figure it out.

So someone asked, "Boss, what should I do if there is so much timber left here?"

"You don't have to worry about this timber, I'll find someone else to continue transporting it. When you come back from vacation, you go to the A02 area. ”

Feng Tiance responded with a smile, and the workers of the transport team cheered. To be honest, they haven't had a break in a while, and they go to work almost every day.

In the evening, there is an eerie tranquility in the primeval forest.

Feng Tiance sat on a pile of wood, and a large amount of grass was placed on the ground not far away. These grasses were cultivated in the space with well water dilution, and were the favorite of all herbivores, not one.

Plants grown from well water dilutions are rich in special vitality components. After eating animals, it can not only enhance physical fitness, dispel diseases and prolong life, but also have a trace of the effect of opening up the mind.

Wild elephants were happily eating grass in groups of three or five, and there were some leftover bananas on the ground. The fatigue of the day has long since disappeared, and the wild elephants are back to their peak condition, or even better.

At present, there are only so many wild elephants that Feng Tiance can take out. Because wild elephants have a long breeding period, the gestation period of female elephants is about 20 to 22 months. Even if you breed in space, it takes a lot of time.

After the wild elephants were full, they walked in front of Feng Tiance one by one. Their noses are the most dexterous, and they can gently touch the palm of his hand as a sign of closeness. Wild elephants are actually affectionate animals, and their IQ is not low, and they are close to whoever treats them well.

"Take a few days off, wherever you go. But you'll all come back here in three days' time. ”

Wild elephants can't have an accurate concept of the three-day time, that's what he says. At that time, the workers will also need to signal the assembly before leaving for the A02 area.

The protective gear and chains on the wild elephants had long been removed, and Feng Tiance watched them leisurely walk into the jungle as night fell.

"Well, that's where the timber transportation in the A01 area goes, I'll clear the site. ”

Feng Tiance patted the dirt on his body and stood up. After a moment, all the remaining timber was gone, and when it reappeared, it was already in the warehouse at the foot of the mountain. Needless to say, it was Feng Tiance who used the power of space.

........

Logging in the A02 area is also proceeding at a rapid pace. After that, the transportation is handed over to the wild elephant transport team. Qi Xiuyuan arranged all the manpower that could be drawn and began to make artificial incense.

Zhang Youzhi also left fifty workers on his side to finish the musk incense extraction work this time, and the rest of the people were also transferred.

Feng Tiance allocated a large amount of well water dilution and put it in the warehouse and handed it over to Zhang Youcai for safekeeping. The use of these liquids is strictly regulated, and workers who spray them must wear full body protection.
