Chapter 265 Maritime Agriculture and Animal Husbandry

The news that Blue Ocean City has taken root in the designated sea area has made the citizens of Blue Ocean City very excited, and they finally have roots, instead of continuing to drift on the sea.

Many media represented by CCTV announced to the world in the form of live broadcast that Blue Ocean City, a water city in China, was officially established.

In the virtual world chat area, netizens from all over the world are discussing the situation in Blue Ocean City.

Huaxia netizen [Qi Qiqi]: "I am a citizen of Blue Ocean City, and it is really comfortable to live in Blue Ocean City."

The government gave us clothes and household utensils, and we still ate in the big canteen of our workplace.

This kind of life is suitable for me, away from the hustle and bustle of the outback, away from the previous circle, and I will not be exposed to gambling again.

I'm a landlubber and I've learned to swim by now.

As long as you get used to the life of a water city, Blue Ocean City is really a livable city. ”

Indian netizen [Moib]: "I didn't expect that Huaxia really has a water city, and this is not a smoke bomb set off in Huaxia."

Will China lay out its own floating city in the waters near our country, that would be really too dangerous. ”

Huang Ke came to Blue Ocean City, not just to lead the engineers to fix the location of Blue Ocean City.

They also brought aquatic crops suitable for Blue Ocean City and fish fry raised in seawater to help Blue Ocean City establish marine agriculture and animal husbandry.

On December 3, the second day that Blue Ocean City was fixed, Huang Ke came to the office of Lin Xingkang, the mayor of Blue Ocean City.

"Mayor Lin, we at Xinghuo Technology have prepared the seeds of the plants and the fish fry that Blue Ocean City needs to raise.

How is Blue Ocean City preparing, and can it officially start to launch the Blue Ocean City Agricultural Development Plan? ”

Lin Xingkang nodded and said: "Blue Ocean City has long been ready, and our municipal government has trained relevant talents through the virtual world, so that they can master the cultivation of aquatic crops and the breeding of pigs and fish."

Blue Ocean City is ready to officially launch the core industry of Blue Ocean City, maritime agriculture and animal husbandry.

With equipment, the amphibious intelligent robot began to enclose the sea in a large area around Blue Ocean City to enclose an aquatic crop planting area.

Mainly use foam and other materials to build a relatively closed environment on the sea surface.

This is to prevent pollutants on the sea surface, such as oil leaks, plastics floating on the sea, and other substances from polluting the farmland at sea.

Farmland at sea only occupies the surface of the sea and does not affect the ecological environment in the ocean.

Instead, they will provide a good living environment for small fish in the sea, just like coral reefs, and establish a new marine ecosystem with marine farmland as the core.

The citizens of Lanhai City carried a grid-shaped rectangular seed tray and placed it on the surface of the sea.

The artificial seeds in the seed tray will germinate within 2 days when exposed to sunlight and suitable temperatures.

After three days of growth, the seedlings are ready to be transplanted into the planting boxes of the aquatic crops.

The planting box for each aquatic crop is different, the planting box for rice is a larger seed tray, and the planting box for cucumbers is partially sunk to the bottom of the water, and there are pillars for cucumber vines to climb.

The water temperature in the Bohai Sea is already very cool in December, and this time of year is only suitable for potatoes and cabbage.

These two genetically modified aquatic crops have been strengthened to tolerate extreme cold.

Huang Ke watched the citizens of Lanhai City diligently sow tens of thousands of hectares of sea area.

Farmland at sea, even if it is mechanically assisted, needs people to check the planting.

Agriculture and animal husbandry are relatively tiring occupations in any era.

Huang Ke sighed: "Potatoes and cabbage can only be harvested for a month, and the replanting will have to wait until the temperature of the Bohai Sea warms up in March next year."

Here in the Bohai Sea, it is only in January and February when the water temperature is particularly cold that it is impossible to grow aquatic crops. ”

Mayor Lin Xingkang said: "Agriculture is easier to take care of, let's look at the situation of pig and fish farming.

It is impossible for people to eat only vegetables, and to survive on the sea, they still need to consume enough protein.

After years of frenzied fishing in the coastal waters of China, even people who are always interested in profiteering use desperate nets to fish, and there are no small fish fry in the fishing grounds, how can it be sustainable. We also have to farm our own fish to provide the protein. ”

Huang Ke and Lin Xingkang walked towards the fishery farm on the other side of Blue Ocean City.

Workers and amphibious robots are laying huge fishing nets across thousands of hectares of water.

The mouth of the net is the size of a fist, which allows small fish to pass through smoothly.

Lin Xingkang looked at the pigfish placed in the huge tank on the edge of Blue Ocean City, the fry of the pigfish was about the size of a fist, and it just couldn't swim out of the fishing net.

The pigfish has a round head, it has no fins, only a tail, and its gills are relatively small.

Pigfish is a small fish that gives people a chubby feeling, and its appearance is cute.

"Such a big pig fish, it can be eaten directly, how can it be used for farming." Lin Xingkang asked in surprise.

Huang Ke introduced: "This is the fry of a pigfish, how can it be eaten by it, after it is fully mature, it can grow into the size of a killer whale and become a behemoth weighing several tons."

The pigfish is a creature that we find in the ocean, and it can only live in the deep sea, and it has always maintained its size.

We collect a variety of marine fish and genetically modify them, and only the native fish genes of pigfish are convenient for us to modify.

When the size of the pigfish is enlarged, it will not affect his life, but it will become lazier and lose the ability to hunt on its own.

This is not at all a disadvantage for a farmed fish. ”

The citizens of Lanhai City quickly built a breeding space for pigs and fish.

Put down the water tank containing the pig fry in the fishing box, open the water tank after placing it in the sea, and aim the pig fish directly in the seawater.

As soon as the pigfish entered the sea and hesitated for a moment, they slowly swam around.

Tens of thousands of pigfish were released into the ocean, and they swam in the water for a moment, floating motionless.

Lin Xingkang saw the situation of pigs and fish, and he asked worriedly: "Are these pigs and fish suffering from certain diseases because they are transported for a long time?" How are they inactive. ”

Huang Ke said with a smile: "This fish is named pigfish because of its extremely lazy personality, except for eating and mating, they are too lazy to move in other circumstances."

At this moment, a small boat enters the pig fish farm, which is constantly spraying feed into the farm with a pipe.

As soon as the pigfish smelled the food, they immediately began to swim over, scrambling to devour the food.

"Mayor Lin, you see that they are not active now, the pig fish is an omnivorous animal, it will eat the roots and fruits of plants and some small fish and shrimp.

The feed we are feeding now is straw mixed with soybean cake and some small dried fish.

You can use the straw of aquatic crops and the internal organs of marine fish to dry and feed them to pigs and fish.

But don't feed the pig fish the guts, that will make the pig fish taste sour and difficult to swallow. ”

Huang Ke watched the maritime agriculture and animal husbandry in Lanhai City begin to have the most basic prototype after their construction.

As long as it takes another month, we will know whether the marine agriculture and animal husbandry designed by many experts of Xinghuo Technology can meet the basic requirements.

This is related to whether the water city can achieve real self-circulation, and it is unrealistic for the water city to rely on local blood transfusion for a long time.
