Chapter 166: Eagle Department (Subscription Requested)
"Chief, this tribe trains falcons on the grasslands for a living, and according to them, the falcons in their hands can transmit news over long distances if they are trained, and there are exactly a hundred adult falcons in their tribe at present." Anno said quickly.
"Oh? That's good news, let's take a look. Huo Gang nodded quietly, if this is the case, Huo Gang will understand, this is a reward for himself, but ...... Is this a reward? According to Anno, the tribe had joined them two days earlier.
"I've placed them north of the Industrial City, near Lake Hoch, because they domesticate falcons, so they need to be close to the lake." Anno spoke.
"Okay, let's go now." Huo Gang nodded.
The alfalfa grass here in Yangguan is still expanding its territory, and some of it has begun to expand to the original grassland, but it has not turned all the grassland into alfalfa grass.
The diversity of grassland species is also beneficial, because these grasses look like weeds, but in fact there are many grasses that have different effects on the nutritional balance of cattle and sheep.
Just like the sheep in Inner Mongolia in his previous life, there is a saying that eating Chinese herbs and drinking mineral water, many people think this sentence is a propaganda slogan, but in fact, the sheep living on the grassland are indeed like this, such as dandelions and other grasses on the grassland for a long time, which is itself part of traditional Chinese medicine.
And the water sources are all natural water sources, so it is not wrong to call it mineral water.
Similarly, the grassland of this era is naturally the same, the grassland near Yangguan itself is a diverse grassland, if all replaced with alfalfa grass is not impossible, but it is not necessary, but it is the place where the Huo Ci River is located, because of the lack of water before, the grass that grows is limited and hits the extremely tenacious weeds, but it is better to replace them with alfalfa grass.
The places where the river flows through the Gobi Desert were originally cultivated, and since alfalfa grass can grow, the Gobi Desert was expanded first, and almost all the places where alfalfa grass grew can be reclaimed into fertile land next year.
This year, because the number of seeds is not large, there is no need to cultivate so many fields.
Leaving Yangguan, about half an hour or so, Huo Gang and they came to the location where the Eagle Department was located, the entire tribe had completed the preliminary arrangement, and dozens of felt tents had been erected here.
Before Huo Gang entered the tribe, he saw several eagles circling around the entire tribe soaring in the air, but they flew too high for Huo Gang to tell what kind of birds they were.
But Huo Gang's arrival had already alarmed these people, and most of the people in the tribe came out, and when they saw Huo Gang, they obviously knew Huo Gang, and everyone bowed down to Huo Gang with respectful faces.
"I've seen the chief."
"Get up, what's your name?" Huo Gang asked.
"Looking back, my name is Tie Hong." The tribal leader, who looked to be in his fifties, said with a respectful face.
"Well, I'm here to see your domesticated eagles, I heard you can deliver a letter?" Huo Gang asked directly.
"If you're trained, you can." Tie Hong immediately nodded affirmatively.
After saying that, he whistled directly, and an eagle in front of the tent in the distance flew directly in this direction, and after Tie Hong stretched out his right hand with cowhide gloves, the eagle fell directly on his hand.
When this eagle fell into his hand, Huo Gang immediately recognized it, where is this eagle, this is obviously a falcon, of course, the distinction between eagles and falcons is not so obvious in this era, if Huo Gang is not mistaken, what they domesticated should be the falcon with the characteristics of the Western Regions, the famous falcon in later generations.
The Saker also had a rope on one of its feet, apparently the result of their training.
Huo Gang was looking at this falcon, and this falcon tilted its head to look at Huo Gang.
Huo Gang's heart moved slightly, and he said directly: "Find me a bowl." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but a person beside Tie Hong reacted too quickly, turned around directly and rushed to the tent behind, and quickly brought a bowl to Huo Gang, after taking this bowl, Huo Gang's heart moved slightly, and he directly extracted a spiritual spring water into his water bladder.
Huo Gang always carried the water bladder, but most of the time the water bladder was empty, because when he used it, he must have used the spiritual spring water directly in it.
Huo Gang drank 10 spiritual spring water every day, either Huo Gang drank it himself, or the red cloud under his crotch drank it, and Huo Gang didn't give it to others, mainly because its effect was too obvious, and the number was not much, anyway, there were already three rivers with 1 spiritual spring water effect in his territory.
These rivers are just a little slower, and there is no difference beyond that.
Without anyone else seeing, the spiritual spring water was filled with Huo Gang's water bladder, he directly opened the lid of the water bladder and poured the water bladder into this bowl, and the falcon squatting in Tie Hong's hand immediately lit up his eyes, and directly instigated his wings to fly, flying directly in the direction of Huo Gang.
Seeing this scene, Huo Gang's heart moved, and sure enough, these animals could feel the benefits of spiritual spring water.
However, Tie Hong over there was startled, you must know that the claws of the falcon are extremely sharp, and if the human hand does not wear cowhide gloves, it will be scratched in an instant.
The phrase "Chief, be careful" immediately came to his mouth, but before he could shout this sentence, suddenly a sharp scream resounded throughout the air, and the moment this voice sounded, the Saker that had been close to Huo Gang's side directly made a bend and flew to the side.
In the air, a huge black shadow quickly began to fall, and everyone else raised their heads violently, Tie Hong's pupils shrank and he shouted loudly: "Chief, be careful!" It's the Condor! ”
"It doesn't matter." Huo Gang directly opened his mouth to stop the trend of Tie Hong rushing over, but raised his head to look at the huge figure that fell, it was really big! The flying size of the falcon is already quite small, but compared to the one in front of him, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
Not to mention the falcon, even the red cloud under Huo Gang's crotch was restless, Huo Gang patted the red cloud on the neck behind him and said, "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”
With Huo Gang's pacification, Hongyun quieted down, and the figure in the sky quickly began to fall, but it did not fall directly to Huo Gang, but fell to a height that was unified with him seven or eight meters away from Huo Gang, and then flew directly towards Huo Gang.
Huo Gang didn't move, just squinted his eyes and sat quietly on the saddle, looking at the brown eagle that flew in, this is definitely not a falcon, because its wingspan is larger than an adult!
With the sound of two "bang" and "bang" fluttering wings, a huge air flow came from the surface, sensing the eagle's thoughts, Huo Gang let go of his body and leaned back at the same time, and then this huge eagle fell directly on the cushion under the saddle in front of Huo Gang, and when it fell, its height was almost as high as Huo Gang.
And after it put away its wings, Huo Gang recognized that this was not an eagle, to be precise, it was an eagle! The king of birds in the alpine steppes!
The black-brown pointed beak, the tip of the mouth is black, the base is blue-brown or blue-gray, and the wax membrane and toes are yellow, and the claws are black, all of which indicate that this is the famous golden eagle of later generations!
It seemed that it was hovering in the air just now, because it flew too high, Huo Gang originally thought that it was raised by this tribe, but now it seems that it is obviously not.
Huo Gang looked at the golden eagle in front of him curiously, he had never had the opportunity to observe this handsome eagle so closely in his previous life, this thing was a national first-class key protected animal in his previous life, but now, it is naturally impossible to say that there is no such thing as a protected animal.
Huo Gang was looking at the golden eagle, and the golden eagle was also looking at Huo Gang with one eye, whether it was an eagle or an eagle, or a falcon, they hardly looked like other animals would have any expressions, but Huo Gang could still feel a trace of curiosity and ...... from its smart eyes Coquetry?
A person and a eagle are looking at each other, and Tie Hong and others next to him are dumbfounded, because for them, the golden eagle is the king of the sky on the grassland, and it is also the eagle in their minds, but the eagle never takes the initiative to approach humans, as the king of the sky, the strength of the golden eagle is very strong, the average weight is more than 5 catties, and the golden eagle with a wingspan of more than two meters is simply the existence of no natural enemies.
The daily golden eagle can not only prey on rabbits, foxes and other small animals, and even when hungry, they can directly hunt wild wolves on the grassland, you can imagine the strength of the golden eagle, but the golden eagle never takes the initiative to approach humans.
These two condors, Tiehong, have naturally been discovered a long time ago, but they can often see the figure of the condor on the grassland, but they have never seen the condor take the initiative to approach people. And now this divine eagle took the initiative to land in front of Huo Gang, just a stone's throw away from him.
Before Tie Hong could come back to his senses from the shocking scene in front of him, he heard that Huo Gang had tentatively stretched out a hand, and Tie Hong immediately swelled up with worry, but this time the words "Leader be careful" were held in his throat.
Because Huo Gang had already spoken while stretching out his hand, "I told you, it's okay to drink my water if you want, but if you drink my water, it's my bird." ”
Huo Gang tentatively stretched out a hand as he spoke.
I don't know if I understood what Huo Gang meant, but instead of making defensive moves, this golden eagle took the initiative to put its small head close to Huo Gang's palm, and took the initiative to let Huo Gang stroke it.
Seeing this scene, Tie Hong almost bulged out his eyes.
