Chapter 187: Raising Ibis × Design × Persistence
After the simple celebration, the people dispersed because there was still a lot of work to do.
The floodgates of the water flow were not yet closed, and the rapid flow of water flowed from under the water tower along a simple canal made of wooden troughs, plaster, and asphalt all the way to the center of the city, where the Sacred Fire Reservoir was located, where all the remaining people lived, where a huge pool of water had been built, and the water was temporarily stored for the people to drink.
According to Qi Yu's plan, with fire as the signal, and when the water is full, the fire is ignited, and the people guarding the water tower are instructed to take down the eyes of Tephnut in order to save the use of gems, after all, there is not much stock, and the whole system is not in a hurry to experiment at the beginning for a day or two.
In addition to the clean water source, Qi Yu has also turned the entire Blackwater Lake into a huge breeding and meat factory.
Food is the guarantee of stability, a stable and safe source of food, and no one is hungry.
What's more, for everyone to return to normal people, you must have a clean diet.
"How's the split-headed ibis?"
In the past two days, he has been busy with the "tap water" system, and Qi Yu has no time to ask about this most important thing.
Now that the water has become a good start, Qi Yu's mind quickly shifted to the place he was most concerned about, and he hurriedly asked.
"Those things are still very fierce, no one dares to go over and feed them, and the people I arranged to feed before, some have already lost their arms. Qi, does this split-headed ibis have to be raised? Aren't those drowning eels edible now? Ha's face, which was happy about the normal operation of the water system just now, immediately turned into a gloomy face.
"That's different." Qi Yu's eyes rolled and stared at Ha tightly.
Feeding this split-headed ibis is not just Qi Yu's idea. Although the split-headed ibis looked hideous and looked like those dimension-reducing things, Qi Yu knew that this split-headed ibis no longer had any divinity on it.
Neither the white shadow nor the whispering, no.
Although dangerous, it is undeniably delicious food.
But none of that matters.
The important thing is that they used to feed on seven-cheeked drowned eels, which is information that Qi only learned in the past few days. It was only the fear that the disease would kill the Split-headed Ibis that attracted the Split-headed Ibis to the city to take revenge.
At first, the split-headed ibis only killed, and finally slowly even people eat, but fortunately, the split-headed ibis only perched on the rock wall, and the eyes are not good at night, and there are no large-scale hunting of humans. And humans will take advantage of this to lay traps.
As soon as Qi Yu arrived some time ago, Helles and Ha wanted to entertain Qi Yu with a split-headed ibis, but unfortunately something changed on the way, and the result was still good, and they harvested an unprecedented split-headed ibis.
As for Qi Yu's considerations, it was something that no one expected.
He asked himself the question, what if the split-headed ibis was a species that was specifically designed to be bred for human food?
It's just that for some reason, these guys, who contributed to people's stomachs, got out of control, regained their nature, returned to the wild, and finally became people's enemies step by step.
All the speculations were verified one night a few days ago.
A split-headed ibis cut off its tail feathers, locked its claws, and raised it alone.
The reason is that the other split-headed ibis would rather die than eat the seven-cheeked drowned eel, and it does.
After being forced to eat the seven-gilded eel for a few days, the split-headed ibis has changed like never before.
The caretaker at that time was very frightened, and when he hurried to report that Ha and the other companions had rushed back again, the scene shocked everyone because there was an extra split-headed ibis in the house.
The split ibis split in half, the mutilated half of its body grew. Although the new half of the body was not plump, the shriveled new skin was wrinkled more wrinkled than the fleshy mask on the face of the plaguer, and the wings and claws of the newborn were small and did not resemble a bird of prey.
But in the hearts of all who arrived, it was the most beautiful picture, the delicious split-headed ibis, split in two, split in two, what a wonderful thing it would be.
The annunciation of Ha and Helles brought Qi no more joy than they had expected.
Those secrets hidden under these facts aside, Qi Yu knows that domestication and breeding are not easy things.
It's almost enough to be able to maintain the scale it is now.
This group of captured split-headed ibises did not cooperate, more than half of the split-headed ibises were unwilling to eat the seven-cheeked drowned eel, and some of them desperately split when they saw people, showing extremely aggressiveness, and less than a quarter of the split-headed ibises were willing to change their staple food.
Seed selection and breeding is a long process, Qi Yu has a hard time understanding this kind of dividing and growing creature, and he can't copy the modern science and technology of his mother country, but he still knows the basic common sense.
It's okay to be able to maintain what you are born for, anyway, it's not certain whether this place stays or goes.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu, who had just refuted Ha's report, added again: "Ha, no matter how difficult it is, we have to keep raising it." He Mo's armor was first worn by those who fed the cleft-headed ibis. It's about survival later. We have to think long-term. ”
"In the long run, shouldn't we heal people and go out together?" Ha asked in a hurry.
Qi Yu glanced at him lightly: "How to get out?" ”
Then he smiled and said, "Oh...... So you want to go out with it. ”
When Qi Yu said this, his hand was already pointing to Xia Luoluo, which was like a warm sunset in the sky in the distant city.
"Oracle! I ......" Ha's eager words were interrupted before he could finish his words.
It was Halleys, he stretched out his hand to stop Ha from continuing to confess, but he cast his inquiring eyes to Qi Yu eagerly.
Sighing secretly, Qi Yu said, "You can give it a try." But I hope not too many people attend. ”
After speaking, Qi Yu stopped looking at the two of them and walked towards the house where Qi Ji was staying, where there were people he missed.
"Your Excellency!" A sound of joy came from behind Qi Yu, but there was also a burst of footsteps chasing after him.
Qi Yu sighed, stood up, and looked back, just as he thought, it was Hellers.
Qi Yu silently looked at the old man chasing after him, but he was not angry.
It should have been Helles who arranged for Ha to say so many things just now, and Qi Yu still has this bit of common sense.
After all, if there is a shortcut not to go, you have to lie down here and try your guts, isn't that stupid?
Whoosh, fly up, and fly out of this pit that has trapped generations of people, and it's best to do it.
It's just that, if you guess correctly, this is a beautiful result when you think about it, and there is a great probability that it is the moon in the mirror.
Qi Yu just stopped Helles, who chased after him and wanted to apologize again, and said, "Halleys, I'm not angry, and you don't need to apologize." But I can't agree to your request. It's still the same sentence, the first time you go up, you and I can do it, and don't go. ”
After speaking, Qi left the stunned two and continued to walk away.
Qi Yu was really not angry, on the contrary, he was very afraid of what this group of poor people would become after seeing the facts.
