Chapter 518: What a Sacrifice!

"Don't worry, it's too expensive to keep blood for a long time, and the blood reserve of my medical department is also carried out in Havana, so it's impossible to travel that far to Veracruz. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"I mainly want to increase the number of healthy women in the corps, and we are already having a serious gender imbalance that has caused a lot of social problems."

"In the task of reproducing, a man only needs to ejaculate a packet of pus, and a woman needs to be ten months pregnant. Men's sperm can also be cryopreserved, but women's ** is irreplaceable. That's why women are very important! ā€

Lena. Fox explained over the radio that he had sent several medical teams in the hope of attracting a large number of women to Havana at a relatively small cost. This made Zhou Qingfeng, who learned of this, also greatly relieved.

At the end of the communication, Lena asked Zhou Qingfeng about his current work. As a result, Uncle Zhou said with a depressed face: "The matter of raising maggots is going very well, but it is not so pleasant when I inspect it." ā€

The so-called 'maggot farming' is an important part of the food production plan carried out by the 'Aurora Army'. The success of the plan is a matter of life and death for many people.

A few months ago, when the 'Aurora Legion' was still on Big Abaco Island, Zhou Qingfeng and Lena began to prepare for the upcoming nuclear bomb washing. Knowing that a nuclear winter would destroy the Earth's biosphere, the two named their plan 'Noah's Ark'.

To put it bluntly, this is a plan to try to restore species diversity after a nuclear winter. At that time, whether it was flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running on the ground, as long as all kinds of animals and plants could be obtained, the legion arranged manpower to reserve them. Even if you can't get it alive, you have to get your hands on the dead and keep the DNA.

As a sub-project of the Noah's Ark program, the restoration of agriculture and livestock has become a top priority. At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that there are enough species for future crops and poultry and livestock to recover their populations.

Now that the nuclear winter has been three months, the 'Aurora Legion' has also settled in Havana safely, as early as when the greenhouse was established to grow vegetables, the corps specially let Deng Chengwen, who was sent to dig coal, be the director of agriculture, and began to engage in raising pigs and chickens and farming.

However, pigs and chickens need feed, but there is no sun in winter, the temperature is low, and ordinary farming and feed are not expected. When Deng Chengwen built a large-scale greenhouse to plant soybean seedlings, he aimed at another thing that can live without sunlight - maggots, which can often be seen in rural manure pits.

It's disgusting, isn't it? But this thing is a treasure!

Maggots, starting from eggs, hatch in only 12 hours, grow quickly, become pupae in four or five days, and emerge into worms in three days. Adults are flies, and they can lay eggs after three or five days, and they lay one or two hundred eggs at a time, and a pair of houseflies can reproduce up to twenty times a year, and the offspring reach 200 million.

Maggots are high-quality proteins, which can be used to extract protein powder, and can be used to develop advanced nutrition and medicines. Don't take it lightly because it's disgusting, although it likes to live on humus such as feces, garbage, and corpses.

Well...... maggots do make people feel disgusting. But it has the advantage that it can be used to feed chickens, which are not easy to get sick after eating, grow fast, and lay more eggs. We don't feel sick when we eat eggs and chicken.

In order to provide enough meat, the Aurora Legion is determined to start with maggot farming. The first thing is to find humus, and don't think about it, it's feces. The racial talent of the Chinese to farm is really no joke, when the ancestors used fermented fecal urine as fertilizer, the Europeans felt that it was an evil technique.

You are a ghost, you kind of starve to death!

Due to the lack of pig manure and chicken manure, the manure of more than 300,000 people in Havana has become the first choice for maggots. When the maggot farming industry in Havana developed, Zhou Qingfeng happened to take over the city of Merida in the Yucatan region. There really aren't any special resources in this ghost place, but the feces of 500,000 people can't be wasted anyway.

Don't laugh, look at my face, this is a serious matter, it is related to whether the legion can develop or not, so everyone uses feces to raise maggots!

In order to do this well, Zhou Qingfeng mobilized 10,000 Mexican laborers to build greenhouses, portable boilers were in stock locally, and fuel could be used with dry grass everywhere in the Yucatan Peninsula. By the way, the flat Yucatan region has a savannah climate, there is nothing else here, dead grass is everywhere.

The simple greenhouse was made into a semi-underground hollow insulation mode, and Havana also supported 500 technicians. Well...... the biggest skill of this group of technicians is to repair the greenhouse, which is to distribute manure. Zhou Qingfeng went to inspect it once, and then he never wanted to go again.

Anyway, it is to accumulate and ferment the manure, and add all kinds of humus to it, such as animal carcasses, rotten fruits, etc. No corpses and fruit? Then it's no problem to just dung big. As long as chickens and pigs are raised in the future, there will always be various animal carcasses running out.

Zhou Qingfeng's maggot breeding factory initially built 500 plants, and the flies were provided by Havana, and the local Mexican laborers quickly learned how to raise this thing under the hands-on training of technicians. To put it bluntly, the most important thing is to keep the temperature, don't freeze the maggots to death, and the rest is to wait slowly, don't worry about it.

A maggot room is about two meters high, 100 square meters, and is stacked with more than a dozen layers of wooden shelves. Since maggots grow so fast, after four or five days the laborers start harvesting non-stop. Each maggot room can produce three or four tons of fresh maggots every day, and the daily output of 500 maggot rooms is nearly 2,000 tons.

Generally speaking, greenhouses should be built near maggots to continue raising chickens and pigs. Modern broilers can be slaughtered in 40 days, laying hens are one egg a day, and pigs can also eat dried maggots. In this way, production can start in the nuclear winter to save itself.

However, Zhou Qingfeng is very ghostly, the Yucatan region is not under his direct control, and only maggots are raised here. The maggots were raised and transported to the chicken farm in Havana, which he preferred to do rather than let the people of the Enclave see the actual chickens and pigs.

In case Zhou Qingfeng was exposed by the people of the 'Enclave' and had to retreat that day, he could have shouted, 'There is a kind of maggot that you go to eat maggots in the dung, it is very nutritious.' ’

And because of the constant supply of maggots as feed, chicken and pig farms in Havana began to open after the nuclear winter. The first laying hens and broilers began to lay eggs to hatch more offspring, and the first sows also gave birth to the first generation of piglets, and the entire farming industry is slowly expanding.

"Oh, five hundred maggot rooms are still too few! Let's build another 1,000 in the second batch. In this way, we can have more supply of meat, eggs and poultry. After the completion of the first phase of the project, Zhou's confidence increased, and with a wave of his hand, he began to recruit more Mexican laborers, collect more manure and produce more maggots.

"Speaking of maggots, we should promote maggot farming, there are tens of millions of people in Mexico City, how much feces can be produced? How many maggots can you raise? As long as we keep the chickens from dying, we can let the enemy help us, even if it's. ā€

After giving the order, Zhou Qingfeng said solemnly: "This matter must be recorded." To let future generations know that for the continuation and development of mankind, I will not even let go of and urine, what a sacrifice I have made! (To be continued.) )
