The python in the Lingnan jungle is actually very large, but compared with the python, it is definitely not an order of magnitude, the python that can grow to three or four meters long here is already like it is about to become a refinement, and this eight-meter-long python is not too big, after all, Zhao Long and others just happened to meet it, so they caught a few.

In later generations, human beings have more specific data on its size, ten meters long, more than 500 pounds in weight, which is relatively large, as for how big the largest is, there is no specific data.

"Bringing this giant snake to the zoo in Chang'an will definitely attract many people to watch." When Zhao He saw the amazed eyes of the onlookers, he suggested to Sun Xiangfu.

Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "When you caught it, you thought the same way!" However, if you want to raise it in Chang'an, it is not so simple, the site needs to do a lot of warm design, there must be a constant temperature pool in winter, and the cost of raising is also very high. ”

The original habitat of the forest worm is in the Amazon rainforest, and it likes to move in swampy areas with water, that is, on the coast of Lingnan, which can be comparable to the local climate, and Chang'an is cold in winter.

Moreover, the danger of raising it is relatively high, although it rarely takes the initiative to attack people, but once it is entangled, people can't break free at all, and they can't pull away without more than ten or twenty people.

"It's okay! As long as there are many audiences, we can earn back the cost of feeding it from the tickets, but, for the sake of insurance, we still have to divide these big snakes into two groups, one group is raised here, and the other group is sent to Chang'an. Zhao He very much wanted to show the people of Datang these things he brought back, and looked at Sun Xiangfudao with great anticipation.

"Hehe, since you want to raise it so much, then raise it! It just so happens that those students in Jiuyuan County who like to engage in biological research will find some topics to study, and the zoo in Chang'an City will have to rely on their brains to ensure the survival of various animals. ”

Raising animals, to a certain extent, is also a kind of science, for the time being, the economic value of the forest snake, is its spicy eye size, can meet the curiosity of tourists, can make everyone more intuitive to feel the danger of these beasts, however, a variety of breeding technology, human beings have explored it earlier, it is beneficial, maybe in the future human beings will be like the pace of historical development, the development of billions, so as to occupy a large number of animal living space, then, a variety of breeding technology, to provide food and medicine for human beings, clothing, and so on.

Snakeskin products are not cheap even in later generations, many of them are included in the ranks of luxury goods, any handbag is hundreds, bags are thousands, luxury brands are tens of thousands, millions of them.

As for the sloths in the back, marmots, raccoons, brown bears and other dozens of animals that like to stand and eat, they are all hunted by Zhao Long in their several explorations on the South and North American continents, some are adult beasts, some are cubs, but there is a bucket of crayfish that has been lifted, which makes Sun Xiangfu very emotional.

"How did you come up with the idea to bring this thing back?" Sun Xiangfu pointed to the dozens of crayfish in the bucket with a crying and laughing expression.

Zhao He didn't know what Sun Xiangfu had any special feelings for this thing, and grabbed his scalp a little apprehensively, "It seems that although this thing is not as big as the lobster in the sea, it is everywhere in the local area, it is very easy to catch, those wild ducks, geese, cranes, and some big birds that I don't know like to eat it, I think, it must be its reproduction is relatively fast, if you use domestic poultry feed, it should be quite good!" ”

"Even if what you say makes sense, besides, maybe one day, our Datang foodies will be grateful to you." Sun Xiangfu patted Zhao He's shoulder and said.

"Uh, this thing, people can eat it?" Zhao He was stunned when he heard this.

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Of course, its body structure is actually similar to that of the lobster in the sea, but it is smaller, let's call it a crayfish!" If it is done well, it should be delicious, but if you want to eat it, I am afraid that you will have to wait a few years, just these dozens of them, at least a few rounds of breeding, before everyone can eat it. ”

"How many rounds does it breed to be enough for everyone to eat? Then we can try it in advance, and for the sake of insurance, I feed a bucket on each ship! It's not a picky eater, it eats fish and vegetables. Zhao He said happily.

"Not being a picky eater is the scariest thing about it." Sun Xiangfu said a little depressed.

It is precisely because it is not picky eater, in later generations, almost destroyed the ecological environment of our country, and its fecundity, can be described as hugely powerful, an acre of pond can feed more than 10,000 birds, after growing, at least more than 1,000 catties, in the ecological environment is better at the moment, each female shrimp, a year can almost breed hundreds of small shrimp, and these small shrimp only need two or three months to grow, and then start to reproduce.

Even if Zhao He only brought back a few hundred crayfish, hundreds of hundreds of them will be multiplied like this, and after three or four rounds, there will be hundreds of millions, and then in the future, that number will make people feel scared, Sun Xiangfu is a little worried that the current population of more than 30 million people in Datang will not be able to eat so many shrimps, which will cause disasters, and in later generations, but with the concerted efforts of hundreds of millions of foodies, it will defeat it, because it has too few natural enemies in the local river.

Therefore, tonight, on the main table of Feng Mansion, there was no lobster in the sea, but a pot of red garlic crayfish, and as soon as he landed, he was eaten nearly one-third of the original species, because Sun Xiangfu wanted to curb the reproduction of crayfish from the source. Of course, this is also the reason why he can't wait to taste the taste that he hasn't seen for a long time, the spicy taste of dogwood always makes him feel uncomfortable, garlic crayfish, it's okay for everyone to eat, Sun Xiangfu himself, or some spicy coolness, there are a lot of dried chili peppers brought back, this thing may not have a market in Datang in a short period of time, so only Sun Xiangfu ate it himself.

"After eating this meal, we are busy, crops suitable for planting in the north, tomorrow will start shipping, suitable for planting crops in the warm central region, Zhao He, you will be sent to Jiuyuan County by the way, and Xiaomei will try to plant together, and most of the crops that are only suitable for tropical rainforest planting will be tried by me in Lingnan, similar to potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, tomatoes, peppers and other crops suitable for planting in the field, we will plant them in three areas, next year, you can compare the yield and quality."

"It's fun to have a little competition, drink to win." Zhao He, one of the protagonists of this banquet, was full of excitement after returning, and not long after the table, he was drunk for seven or eight minutes, and answered in a prodigal manner.

This competition, of course, is the biggest chance for him to win, because he has surveyed the places where the original seeds are grown, and several crops have been tried on board in pots.

At this banquet of more than 1,000 people, he was not the only one who was profligate, many crew members drank wine, and they all wantonly told everyone some unforgettable experiences of this trip, Sun Xiangfu and Li Tai, Feng An, Wu Shi Tong, and a group of officials who accompanied the wine in Lingnan became their best listeners.

"I can't imagine that the Mayans are divided into eighteen months a year, and moreover, more than 10 million people, divided into hundreds of city-states, no one has ever thought of unifying ······"

"South America is not small! It takes nearly two months to sail along the coast, and at the speed of a steel ship, it doesn't take so long to get from Andong Dadu Hufu to the coastal dock in Rinan County······"

"North America is bigger than South America! Due to the problem of supply and return date, the expedition did not conduct an in-depth investigation in North America, and the full picture of this expedition is still unknown······"

Datang's current territory occupies almost half of Asia, as well as the entire Oceania, only counting the main continental shelf, not counting the overseas area, it is about the same size as South America, and in terms of the existing population of Datang, it is not much more than the population of South America, it is just a little more than double, not at all like later generations, the population difference between Asia and South America is more than ten times, the reason is because the Mayans in the heyday of the classical period have not experienced any major disasters, and there will never be a food crisis, and on the Asian side, Large-scale wars and food crises have caused the total population to regress from time to time.

Through his communication with the Mayans, Sun Xiangfu learned that they already had a relatively complete written heritage and some religious regimes. Of course, he was most interested in the knowledge of the Maya's unique calendar, astronomy, architecture, etc.

You must know that under the existing underdeveloped tool conditions, they can build a variety of city-states comparable to the cities of the Central Plains, and there is a lot of knowledge involved in all aspects.

After some understanding, Sun Xiangfu said to the warrior Tong, "If these Mayans are just used as carrying labor, it will be too wasteful, take them to our Datang for a turn, increase their knowledge, and next time they go back, they can play a big role." ”

When they were in South America, in order to quickly complete the task, Zhao Long and others used methods that could be described as barbaric and rude, arresting people, and only looking at their faces, without asking about their identities or their professional specialties.

And among these people, in fact, there are some people whose status in the local area is not low, and they are considered local scholars, and when their communication skills are stronger, after realizing the strength of Datang, they can subdue them and send them back, so that they can better recover what Datang wants most on the South American continent.

Of course, Wu Shitong will seriously consider Sun Xiangfu's suggestion, and after he has more knowledge of this world, he now has greater expectations for another fleet, and sighs, "I don't know what another exploration fleet can bring us back." ”

When the two chatted and sighed, Li Chunfeng was holding a sextant and constantly measuring and positioning, their location was almost in the Mauritania region of North Africa in the later generations, the reason why they stayed here was because the Berbers who lived here already had a civilization, although it was a foreign civilization from Europa, but it had taken root in the local area, and with a history of large-scale cultivation for more than a hundred years, they could get some supplies here.

And on their ship, there are many big men with black skin like carbon, which are the slaves they took in when they explored the South African continent before.

The way to subdue these uncivilized black slaves was very simple and rude, defeat them, give them food, and then, there was no more.

As long as you don't hurt them and give them food, they can follow you around stupidly, but you don't expect them to help you do any brain-consuming or physical work, because people are uncivilized, have a low level of intelligence, and are accustomed to a lazy life without work.

In the eyes of a person like Li Chunfeng who is at the top of the wisdom of this period, he naturally thinks that there is stupidity here and there, here is the food that cannot be eaten all year round on the trees, and there are animals and plants that can be eaten everywhere on the ground, and they don't need to farm, they can live a very nourishing place, but they live their lives like wild people, which is simply incredible.

Therefore, the main purpose of subduing these black slaves was actually to see what was available in the local area, so as to help Zhang Lin Wang strengthen them and collect species, but unfortunately, after they searched the local area for a month or two, they almost clashed with the local tribes, and after retreating to the sea, they explored several times along the ocean and on land in different positions, until they arrived here, they found a civilization that could barely communicate.

After some exchange, they had been supplied with food and fresh water for the fleet to sail for a long time, and then they planned to find a route across the Atlantic.

If it goes well, he will find that when he arrives on the South American continent, he will even see those stone tablets erected by Zhao Long, then, in theory, he has confirmed that this world is round.

Unlike Zhao Long's crazy search for new species, Li Chunfeng cared more about academic things, so after helping him divinate a few hexagrams and finding that there was nothing dangerous, he finally pointed out a route across the Atlantic Ocean to Zhao Gang. ()
