Although it can't catch up with Hawaii Island, Kauai Island, and Ouhu Island, it is still one of the seven largest islands in the Hawaiian Islands.

The area of ​​Nihau Island is about 180 square kilometers. If the shape can be adjusted, it will be a rectangle with a width of 10 kilometers and a length of 18 kilometers.

To compare domestic wildlife parks, take the Qinling Wildlife Park located near Xijing as a reference—the total area of ​​the park is 2,600 mu, converted into square kilometers, which is 1.733333..., in Nihao with a total area of ​​180 square kilometers On the island, there are enough to pack a hundred and there is still a surplus.

Although there are still many wildlife sanctuaries in the world, and many of them have opened tourism projects and can receive a certain number of tourists, in the final analysis, the nature of wildlife sanctuaries is slightly different after all, and they are not suitable for taking Compare it to a zoo.

If the condition is limited to 'zoo', the Dinosaur Paradise on Niihao Island is undoubtedly the first in the world.

To this extent, the number of animals kept on the island is of course far more than other zoos.

Please note that it is not about type, but pure quantity.

Tyrannosaurus rex, brontosaurus, and diplodocus as large as tens of tons, and compsognathic dragons and bistrognathus, which are as small as poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese, and so on. Counting the plesiosaurs, blue dragons, megalodon sharks, and ichthyosaurs that were stocked in the surrounding sea after the chip was installed... In this dinosaur paradise on the island, at least 20,000 dinosaurs were raised.

Friends who have raised livestock at home should have experienced how laborious it is to prepare feed for large animals.

Compare that to the number of dinosaurs on Niihau...

If you think about it with your toes, you know how difficult it is to satisfy the daily consumption of these big eaters.

"Wow, this is too big." After entering the warehouse for storing feed through the side door, Eddie Brock was immediately shocked by the size of the warehouse, and unconsciously opened his mouth and eyes wide. The face exclaimed in disbelief.

"This room is quite small." Stark led a few people to continue walking, and introduced triumphantly: "The park on the island is divided into several pieces, and each piece is equipped with two to three rooms for The warehouse where the feed is stored. The one we are in now is mainly responsible for feeding small and medium carnivorous dragons such as Velociraptor and Niosaurus, so there is no need to make it too big."

"On the southeast side of the island, there is a group of huge herbivorous dragons in captivity. You have come here to play before, you should remember it? To feed those big guys, you need a lot of food. Let me tell you, The warehouses used to store herbivorous dragon feed are at least three times the size of this one."

It's not critical information, but to the outside world, the content Stark mentioned now can also be regarded as the so-called inside story, which belongs to the kind that will make people very interested.

Eddie Brock was another reporter.

Unknowingly, Eddie Brock suffered from an occupational disease, and subconsciously took out a pen and paper from his pocket: "We need to consume a lot of food every day, and given the conditions on Niihau Island, it shouldn't be possible for us to be self-sufficient, right? Mister Stark, may I ask how much it costs to buy these feeds from outside?"

"Not much, maybe ten million or so." After answering, Stark suddenly realized: "Huh?! Are you collecting materials?"

"Uh..." Sensing that his behavior seemed inappropriate, Eddie Brock scratched his head with a smile: "Sorry, I couldn't control it. You know, I'm a reporter, and I've developed a habit."

"It's okay, and it's not a secret that can't be told." Stark waved his hand and smiled indifferently: "For the sake of your willingness to actively cooperate, I don't mind answering your questions. Of course, when it comes to I won't answer the confidential ones."

"Eh? Are you serious?" Unexpectedly, Stark would say that, Eddie Brock was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately showed a look of overjoyed: "This is really great, I mean, thank you Mr Tucker..."

"Okay, okay, I don't need to say polite words." Waving his hand, Stark smiled: "It's not far from the destination, you'd better hurry up."

"You're right. Then I'm not being polite. Well, it's the question just now. Did you mean the daily cost of feed? In addition, this cost includes Freight and other miscellaneous expenses? Or do you have to spend tens of millions of dollars every day just for purchasing? "

"The freight costs are calculated together with the labor cost, and they have to be calculated separately. I said tens of millions, all of which are the expenses of purchasing ingredients." Stark replied with a smile: "That's it, I still haven't put the self-produced The part of the food sold is included in the cost."

"Self-produced and sold?"

"Yes. Carnivorous dragons living on the island need to maintain their wildness to a certain extent~lightnovelpub.net~ Therefore, we occasionally drive some herbivorous dragons to the territory of carnivorous dragons and let them go on their own. Hunting and eating. About once every three to five days, although the frequency is not high, it can be regarded as saving us part of the cost of purchasing meat from outside."

"Then... won't the number of herbivorous dragons decrease because they are hunted by carnivorous dragons? I mean, it shouldn't be that fast to breed new herbivorous dragons, right? Those consumed by hunting?"

"It's not as difficult as you think. With the more advanced cloning technology and the rapid growth technology used to produce individuals, it only takes about a month to produce a Diplodocus to the juvenile stage. If it is a smaller herbivorous dragon, It is also about a month, and it can even be directly promoted to the adult stage." Speaking of this, Stark shrugged: "If it is not that the energy consumption is a bit large, and the cheaper new energy has not been developed yet, using the existing The Ark reactor is not very cost-effective... Hehe, I'm not bragging, there is no problem in simply using this method to supply the daily consumption of all carnivorous dragons."

"That is to say, in terms of raising carnivorous dragons, it can actually be self-sufficient? If you don't consider the cost."

"That's right."

While talking, several people had come to the bottom of the warehouse and walked into a processing workshop for processing ingredients.

"We're here." Stark stopped, raised his finger and pointed to the huge piece of meat that had been unpacked and placed on the table: "Eddie, call out that friend who likes to eat meat, it's time for dinner .”

"Well…"

Without Eddie Brock opening his mouth, the venom parasitic in his body has already emerged, and the transformation is completed in an instant.

"Hiss, ha! What a wonderful smell!"
