Chapter 981: If you want to get rich, build a road first
After dark, Ifrit was sent back by Sakuratake Juyaro.
Sent to Xia Feng's house, the old man didn't say much, but left a sentence with a stinky face at the end.
"Don't let this girl come to my house in the future."
With that, he left.
Xia Feng didn't know what was going on, thinking about it, maybe Sakura's seniors liked to be quiet and didn't like children to be too noisy.
.....
After the arrival of Hemmer and others, life on the South Coast has changed from peaceful and comfortable to busy and fulfilling.
The Rheinland professional team is working overtime to analyze and plan, Xia Feng naturally can't wait, in addition to delivering meals, he also needs to be ready for the "rise".
He had previously discussed with the great engineer Mel whether he could build the island into a fully automated integrated farm.
Mel's answer was yes.
However, the word "may" was followed by a sentence, "But it will take a long time for it to be completed." ”
Obviously, mechanized facilities like those in science fiction movies are hard to achieve, and of course, it's not that Mel can't do it, it's that he can't do it here.
At the beginning in Colombia, the reason why Rhine Life could easily build a steel fortress like [Experimental Base No. 4] in the desolate desert was mainly because of strong logistical support.
But here, he has no logistics at all.
To put it bluntly, Dongguo is already backward in science and technology, and on this basis, Sandworm Island is too remote, not to mention high-end equipment, even the most ordinary steel cannot be transported from the inland, unless it is pulled by ox carts.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Mel has a skill that cannot be rectified without corresponding supporting facilities, and the biggest difficulty is the transportation of materials.
Of course, this is not an unsolvable math problem.
As the saying goes, money can make the devil grind, as long as he doesn't give up, the fully automatic sandworm farm he wants will be built sooner or later.
But before that, he needs to get the production and breeding up and running, even if it's not fully automated, it can be replaced by manual labor.
.....
When he first landed on the island, he said that the villagers of Nanno Village were his first veteran employees, and now that his dream is gradually being realized, his promise will soon be fulfilled.
A few days ago, when the villagers of Nanye Village saw the super-large transport plane of Rhine Life, they no longer had doubts about Xia Feng's decision.
Not everyone in this world is Sakuratake Juyoro, and everyone thinks about a good life, especially for young people, new things are more challenging.
The main reason why Minamino Village has lived in seclusion here for generations is that there are too many wars on the mainland in the east, and as long as there is a war, ordinary people will not have a stable life at all.
At worst, the head of the family forcibly requisitioned food, and the family starved, or the man was dragged to the army and died on the battlefield inexplicably.
Therefore, Nanno Village's choice to live in seclusion here is also a helpless choice.
When the villagers got Xia Feng's call, almost all of them raised their hands in favor.
All the villagers unanimously said that no matter what they did, no matter how they did it, they would all listen to him.
.....
A few days later.
Hemmer's experimental analysis of the sandworms and the sandworm island is almost complete.
In the plane's lab, Hemmer said with a report on the experiment.
"Xia Feng, I have figured it out, the sandworm is a creature that can be expanded and cultivated, the sandworm has a strong reproductive ability, and the vitality is even stronger, the reason why they will use this island as their base camp is because there is a special plant growing on the island."
In order to fully understand the sandworm, Xia Feng immediately asked.
"What plant?"
Hemmer picked up another report and patiently explained.
"This plant currently has no exact scientific name, it is endemic to the island, it belongs to a kind of existence between fungi and plants, this plant is very strange, it can reproduce sexually, and it can divide and reproduce, and it will transform into different characteristics in different seasons, and because of this, this plant contains a huge amount of energy, which is enough to meet the consumption of the sandworm population on the island."
Obviously, this form of existence of plants has been "superclass", which can be regarded as a strange thing in the wonderful.
Xia Feng didn't seem to understand it.
"So the sandworms only feed on this plant?"
Hemmer shook his head slightly.
"Sandworms are omnivorous creatures that can absorb almost any form of nutrient carrier, but because they are naturally slow-moving, they gather near this island and gradually form an instinct that is engraved into their genes."
This is obviously not Xia Feng's concern, he is only concerned about the feed issue.
"So what? If we want to expand the size of the sandworm population, we need to plant grass first? ”
Hemmer gave him a blank look.
"That's the stupidest way to plant if you're not afraid of trouble."
"Forehead ......"
.....
On the issue of feed, Hemmer has made several plans.
Moreover, these solutions do not conflict with each other, and in order to improve the stability of the feed, multi-threading can be carried out simultaneously.
First, traditional feed, that is, from beans as the main raw material, with wheat flour, methionine, bone meal, salt, etc., specially prepared for sandworm feed, the source can choose to import.
Second, fish, since Sandworm Island is an island, natural and efficient use of its geographical environment is the best policy, fish meat is rich in nutrients, with fish as the main raw material for secondary processing, the effect of feed will be better.
Third, natural feed, that is, the special plant mentioned earlier, if the supply of feed is in short supply due to accidents, planting that special plant in a large area can also become a kind of insurance.
.....
Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully after listening to Hemer's perfect plan.
"These programs will be carried out in the future, and the fastest is traditional feed, directly importing raw materials, and then preparing them according to scientific proportions, so that they can quickly produce results."
Hemmer put down the report in his hand and suggested.
"If Nancy helps with these things, it should be easy to get them, after all, the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce has completely monopolized the north-south trade in the whole of Victoria."
Xia Feng nodded without refusal.
"Looks like we need to trouble Nancy."
"To make this plan happen, you're not going to need to be in trouble for Nancy."
Without waiting for Xia Feng to respond, Hemer's words changed.
"When I flew from Longmen a few days ago, I observed the geography of this area, and to put it simply, you need to solve the traffic problem first."
Hemmer got to the point.
If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, this principle remains unchanged, even if your things are good, you can't trade efficiently, it's in vain.
And before selling, he needs to buy a large number of building materials needed to build the farm from outside, including raw materials for preparing feed.
.....
Xia Feng thought carefully for a moment.
First of all, it is unrealistic to build roads, and it is meaningless, building roads is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there is no place to repair roads at all.
He doesn't want to become the giant of the sandworm in Xichuan, because the people of the east can't understand the true value of the sandworm at all, and his sandworm is to face the whole world, especially those advanced countries.
As if seeing what Xia Feng was thinking, Hemer spoke up.
"Don't think about it, I've already simulated two preliminary solutions for transportation."
Xia Feng raised his head.
"What's the plan?"
"Well, the Skylight Group in southern Victoria has expanded its business to include manned aircraft, but also air freight for trade, of course, air freight is very expensive, but if the goods are valuable enough, it doesn't matter."
Xia Feng seemed to understand something.
"Hemer, what do you mean?"
"Hear me out first."
"Oh, you say."
Hemmer pushed down his glasses.
"In addition to the Yuntian Group, the Haimen Group has also expanded its cargo fleet, and with your relationship with Lin Hai, some things should be simple, so in order to meet the transportation needs, you only need to build two facilities on the south coast."
"Which two?"
Hemmer held out two fingers.
"An airport, a port."
