Armor Frenzy

Welcome, please remember the address of this site: , mobile phone reading, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "Carapace Frenzy" at any time...

Gu Cheng was curious but didn't dare to ask. Ye Han was the opposite. He planned to satisfy his curiosity: "I just leave this thing casually, aren't you afraid of losing it?"

"Of course not!" Gu Cheng said, "This thing crawls slowly and can't go far at all, and each snail has a biochip in its brain, which can control the snail's range of activities, so that they can only move in a designated area. , definitely can't get lost."

"Don't mercenaries steal?"

"I stole it, but the consequences were very serious, and I didn't have the guts to steal it later."

Ye Han was a little confused: "What kind of serious law?"

Gu Cheng said: "It takes a long time to talk about this... The giant snail is not aggressive. If it encounters other insects, it will be eaten. The shell looks solid, but it can actually withstand it. A little while ago, when the ranch was first opened, because the loss was not small, after thinking of a lot of ways, and finally installing a biochip on the snail, using the chip to control the range of activities, use the chip to locate, and encounter wild giant insects. You can use the chip to call the police."

Having said this, Gu Cheng changed his tone: "Then, a group of armed drones are equipped for the ranch, and the drones are used to patrol the ranch. Once the snail sends an attack alarm, the drones can provide support nearby and kill the attack. Snail bugs... After a few years, the bugs near Qingtang have almost died. Now not only drones, but also many mercenaries guarding the pasture for many years... There must be losses in stocking, but they cannot be lost in a year. a few."

Now Ye Han finally understands, but he only understands it a little bit. He is still full of curiosity about the snail ranch: "So advanced?" Even biochips are used. This place is definitely the most modern giant insect ranch!

"It's okay." Gu Cheng said calmly, "There are many similar giant insect pastures, both at home and abroad, all of them are insect-eating giant insects... Most of us here are snails, and some of them are genetically modified. locust……"

"Locusts?" Ye Han was shocked again.

"Well, the locust that weakens the hind legs and wings, but this thing has less meat than snails, the meat quality is not as good as snails, and it has poor self-defense without shells, and basically no one raises it now."

Ye Han was sweating profusely, thinking about it too. If he was asked to choose between snail meat and locust meat, he would definitely choose snails instead of locusts: "Have you ever raised anything else?"

"There are also some ants." Gu Cheng said, "but the ants are not specially raised, mainly because the border ant colony is too large, and they have been hunted and killed regularly in recent years, you know."

Ye Han really understands that materials are scarce nowadays, and any resources cannot be wasted, especially food.

Gu Cheng said again: "You may not know very well that 40% of the meat in the country comes from the giant insect pasture. Think about it, how much insect meat the giant insect pasture produces in a year!"

Ye Han couldn't believe it: "No way? I haven't met a few along the way!"

Gu Cheng smiled: "All you see are breeding cattle. Real beef cattle can be sold when they grow up to the size of a football."

"Don't waste it?"

"Of course not. The giant worm grows for a long time when it grows. It's too wasteful to kill it when it grows up. The size of the football is the most suitable... Now is not the spawning period. When there is a chance in the future, you can come and watch the breeding cattle lay eggs. Hundreds at a time, and when the eggs hatch, there are snails all over the mountains and fields, big and small, too many to count!"

Ye Han saw a lot of insects, and the appearance of snails all over the ground can really be imagined: "How big is this pasture?"

It has been more than ten minutes since we met the first giant snail. The convoy has driven more than ten kilometers. There are no one hundred or eighty snails encountered along the way, but there is still a shadow in the urban area of ​​Qingtang. invisible.

"I don't know much about this, but I know that the ranch is at least dozens of times larger than the urban area!" Gu Cheng said.

Ye Han couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The change is so great!"

"Yeah, the change is too great!" Gu Cheng nodded in agreement, "A few years earlier, who would have thought that giant insects could become an industry?"

Both of them were talking about the big changes over the years, but Ye Han was referring to the fact that after waking up, they were not talking about the same thing. Xiao Yuan and others understood the reason, but Gu Cheng didn't know at all.

Ye Han suddenly thought of something: "Isn't there any plan to expand the pasture? The meat gap is quite large now, right?"

"It's really not small, but the cost of the ranch is too high. The meat is mainly from seafood. The size of the shrimp and crab is not small, and the mollusks such as squid, sea cucumber, and starfish have also begun to become giant, all of which are excellent meat. source."

Ye Han nodded clearly.

Seafood is indeed a good source.

This matter also has something to do with aliens. They are deployed on the seabed, and the continental shelf is full of alien giant vines. Many aquatic creatures feed on this giant vine, and the population of marine life has exploded.

Compared with the high cost of grazing, the cost of fishing is almost negligible, and it is a huge profit!

If all the countries in the world were to let go, the amount of seafood would not be enough to fill the stomachs of billions of people. However, today, with this technological strength, the countries that dare to go to sea can be counted on one hand. Come here, plus the limited supply of meat, the huge ocean is not bad for this seafood.

Now that he knows what he should know, Ye Han is curious about the development of agriculture in the past few years.

Gu Cheng did not disappoint Ye Han, and introduced the development of agriculture.

In short, the rate of development of agriculture is not bad.

On the one hand, benefiting from the rapid progress of soilless cultivation technology, space-style indoor farms have been established in various places. Although there are disadvantages such as high cost, time-consuming and laborious, but in order to ensure food security, no matter how many difficulties are overcome~www.readwn. com~ In recent years, the food produced by indoor farms alone accounts for 30% of the country's total output.

On the other hand, based on the advancement of genetic technology, key indicators such as the yield of grain crops and the ability to resist diseases and insect pests have been greatly improved, and the yield per mu of grain has doubled, which has played a pivotal role in alleviating food shortages.

As for whether it is genetically modified, hehe, I can't eat enough, who cares about this? To put it badly, now even people are genetically modified products, what does it matter if the food is not transferred?

Another very crucial reason is aliens!

It seems that the eight poles can't be beaten, but Gu Cheng understands Ye Han in detail - in order to deal with human beings, the insects released by aliens are all aggressive carnivorous insects, they only like to eat meat, right Plants that can be seen everywhere are dismissive, and only those wild giant insects who are vegetarians have the bad habit of destroying crops everywhere.

And this kind of giant insect has always been the key target of Beidu. After several years of clearing, the number of agricultural giant insects is very small. What is even more strange is that alien giant insects often feed on wild giant insects and are harmful to human beings. The agricultural contribution is not small.
