602 Island farming
And this time, Yang Yinuan fell in love with these islands.
What he wants to do is island farming......
To say that this island farming is not a new technology.
In fact, this thing was the earliest, originating in the Age of Discovery.
At that time, the Banya Kingdom of Oba was the first to embark on a great voyage of exploration, and their fleet was the first to discover the southern Thai continent.
And when they discovered the continent, they organized an exploration of the continent.
It was the exploration fleet that drove the ship around the continent.
Unfortunately, the continent was too big, and the fleet quickly ran out of supplies, and then had to replenish supplies and come back to explore.
But this is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The captain of the last fleet came up with a good idea.
That is, when it was time to set off, it was specially carried with a few boats of cattle and sheep.
Then drive the boat along the continental shelf, when you find an island close to the mainland.
Just lean over and put some cattle and sheep on the islands, so that they can breed freely on these islands.
Because on these islands, there are basically no large carnivores such as tigers, leopards, and wolves.
Therefore, these cattle and sheep basically have no natural enemies on the island.
After more than ten years of doing this, the dozen or so islands near the continental shelf of the southern Thai continent are full of various bison and wild sheep.
Later, when their successor fleets were engaged in trade or transportation activities, it was much more convenient to get supplies.
You don't even have to carry too much food with you, and when you need it, you just get close to an isolated island and go up to catch some cattle and sheep, and you will have supplies.
It was with such logistical supplies that they conquered the entire Southern Taixi Continent in just over a dozen years.
And Yang Yinuan also came up with this idea after reading their colonial history.
Then I checked it on the Internet, and it was okay not to check it, and I was shocked when I checked it.
It turns out that there are many countries on the Blue Star now, all of which are engaged in island farming!
Because many countries have this kind of small islands that lack economic value and lack of fresh water.
How to make reasonable use of these small islands has caused many countries a headache.
Island farming is a very good way to do it.
Farming on these islands is much easier than farming on land.
Because such islands are generally lush with vegetation, there is no shortage of food.
And there are no natural predators, and the most important thing is not to worry that the cattle will run away on their own, because there is the sea all around.
So as long as you drop the cattle and sheep on the island, you don't have to worry about it, just come and check the number regularly.
This is especially the case with several countries in the southern western continent that are doing very well.
After all, their island has been engaged in island farming for hundreds of years.
Even in recent years, there has been a lot of news that the islands of those countries have seriously damaged the local ecological balance because of the large number of cattle and sheep.
Because there are no natural predators, those cattle and sheep can roam the island at will, and the population is expanding at an astonishing rate.
It has caused serious damage to the natural ecology of the island, and the grass and trees are almost eaten up.
So someone suggested that some tigers and lions should be put on the island.
Naturally, they were denied, so they had to send people to the island by helicopter on a regular basis to hunt the bison and sheep.
This will also bring some revenue to the local government.
Therefore, at present, in Yang Yinuan's view, there are many benefits to engaging in island farming.
Especially for families like them who have enemies behind them.
Engaging in aquaculture itself is very fragile.
Even in Haiyan Village, he felt that if the Zhao family wanted to deliberately make it bad, they would not be able to prevent it.
After all, with the development of the village's economy, there are now more and more foreigners in the village.
They can't control it at all, let alone control it.
Then if you want to continue to expand production capacity, you can only expand outward.
At present, it seems that even if you move to other places, you will more or less face the threat of the Zhao family.
Conversely, if you want to move to an island off the coast of Haixi Province.
There is an ocean all around, so the threat from outside is much smaller.
And what and how much to raise on the island is up to them.
Even if people outside want to come and see, it is difficult for them to land on the island, which is also more conducive to Yang Yinuan to hide his secrets.
When the time comes, he will be able to bring all kinds of beef and turkey meat from Falken Star.
When the time comes, a pier will be built around those small islands.
The prepared patties are directly loaded and shipped away, which is the cheapest way to transport and logistics.
It's better than them shipping cars from here to all over the country, which saves a lot of money.
Meatloaf and other raw materials can be transported by boat to key nodes in various provinces and cities by water.
From here, water is transported by land and delivered to branches in various cities.
“… In this way, I have calculated that I can save more than 50% of the cost compared to the current form of pure land transportation. ”
Yang Yinuan said to the second uncle, and the second uncle nodded seriously.
"But if you want to develop such an island, the cost will be very high, right?"
"By the way, which island do you have your eye on?"
The second uncle asked again, Yang Yinuan smiled and stretched out his hand to point on the map.
"This is it, located in the southeast of Bazhou City, about thirty nautical miles, Peach Blossom Island..."
"Huh? Here it is! ”
When the second uncle heard about this island, Zou couldn't help frowning.
This Peach Blossom Island is also well-known in Bazhou, but this Peach Blossom Island is not an island.
Rather, it is a main island, a set of small archipelagos connected by six small islands.
The area of the main island can be more than 30 square kilometers, and the area of several islands varies in size.
The large ones are more than a dozen square kilometers, and the small ones are only about one square kilometer.
It is said that the area of this island is not small, and a few years ago, there was a real estate developer who wanted to develop here and build a sea paradise.
But the project just started, and the developer retreated and ran away.
Because he thinks about offshore development, it's still too simple.
And these islands, although their own conditions are not bad, but they have a fatal shortcoming.
That's the lack of fresh water...
This alone is enough to give many developers a headache.
Because without water, no matter what project you do, you can't move an inch.
There is not even fresh water, which is a more terrible thing on an island than no electricity.
Therefore, this Peach Blossom Island has become a heart disease in Bazhou City until now, obviously the place is not small, and the geographical location can also be, stuck on an important waterway.
But it can't be developed......
And Yang Yinuan is optimistic about this island this time.
This lame place, which no one else can handle, seems to him to be his chosen place!
First of all, the area is definitely large enough, and the main island has an area of more than 30 square kilometers.
And except for the cliffs and mountains on the north side, there is basically a large slowly descending slope over there......
