Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 453: New round 1 plan

After entering the tauren tribe, Lawrence and the others discovered that there were several new buildings in the tauren tribe during this time. In addition to the previous dormitories of human tea pickers, there are warehouses built using human technology, schools, and a small hospital, or to be precise, a small health clinic.

This school was built by the Church of Knowledge. The school gathered past tribal elders, shamans, and several human teachers. Used to pass on the knowledge of tauren and human beings. The same goes for the health clinic on the other side. There are not only doctors who come in regular shifts by humans, but also some local witch doctors, shamans and elders who have mastered medical knowledge.

Before, the knowledge of the tauren people was all scattered among the tribes and passed on, and there has never been such a large-scale knowledge exchange. Therefore, after Lawrence and the others built this school, the tauren people in the hilly area had a large-scale knowledge exchange with their compatriots for the first time, and under such circumstances, a large amount of knowledge was summed up.

In order to express their gratitude to mankind for providing all kinds of knowledge and help, the tauren people also shared the summed up knowledge with mankind. According to the situation reported by the Medical Research Institute under Lawrence, there are many very effective local prescriptions in this batch of materials, which can greatly enhance the island's resistance to those tropical epidemics.

After condoning these human workers, doctors and some technicians who have invested in the construction of various facilities related to the future tea garden. They held a symposium with the tauren and humans present to plan the next stage of the development of the region, and discussed a series of issues related to everyone's life and work.

The human side is actually prepared for the relatively poor production and living environment in this region, but there are still many things that are only found in demand after arriving here. After listening to everyone's complaints, Lawrence wrote down all these needs and promised everyone to solve these problems as soon as possible.

In fact, most of the problems here are caused by insufficient transportation capacity. The lack of various daily necessities is still a trivial matter. The gaps in some medical supplies and anti-mosquito items are fatal. Fortunately, with the recent launch of a new batch of inland steamships, Lawrence believes that these problems will be resolved in a short period of time.

On the other hand, the tauren told Lawrence that he sent a veterinarian to the tribal area and brought a lot of knowledge similar to fodder green storage and livestock production disinfection. The breeding speed of the tribe’s specialty four-horned cattle began to increase, and at the same time, their accidental death, especially the probability of death of the calf, was greatly reduced. Under such circumstances, Tautou people feel that these four-horned cattle herds are likely to expand rapidly within a few years.

Of course, as long as the tauren with a little bit of wisdom and experience can see the possibility of this kind of development, these technologies cover all aspects of the development of the breeding industry, such as feed. Lawrence and the agricultural churches have worked together to restore the green storage technology from his memory through a series of experiments, which has shown a great effect.

This kind of thing can not only provide green and juicy feed for livestock in cold regions. Moreover, it can preserve the nutrients in the feed, improve the palatability of the feed, expand the source of the feed, eliminate the pests, germs and weeds in the feed, and can save the feed economically for a long time.

To give the simplest example, livestock generally don't like hard feed such as straw. But after green storage? These stalks that have been crushed in advance will be softened and more convenient for nutrient absorption? At the same time, they will have a fragrant sour taste to attract those livestock to eat these feeds.

In this way, the original problem of insufficient feed in aquaculture was solved. At least after the harvest of the rice in this season? Lawrence and the others used the straw to make and store a large amount of feed through the fermentation process. They prepared enough food for the four-horn cattle and other animals raised on the island.

In the same way, whether it is about the application of disinfection theory to veterinary medicine or the new breeding method, it is the same as the green storage technology to improve the various shortcomings of the four-corner cattle in the breeding process. And after all these shortcomings are made up? This kind of livestock will naturally multiply quickly.

The increase in four-horn cattle is naturally a good thing, but after everyone’s excitement, I discovered that this type of cattle, like most cattle, is not suitable for intensive breeding but suitable for stocking.

But now they are in the hilly area and there is really not much area around them that can be used for cattle grazing. So in the face of the situation that the four-cornered cattle herd will expand in a short period of time? These cattle heads began to worry about the problem of raising them in the future.

"Let me think about it." After listening to the questions raised by these tauren people, Lawrence was lost in thought. This kind of four-horned bull that is suitable for the island’s climate is actually not small for the entire island. On the one hand, they can provide a series of products such as meat, skin, horns, bones and dairy products, and there is a small probability that they can produce four-corner bezoar, which is widely used in the extraordinary world.

It can be said that the whole body is a treasure, which has a high feeding value.

On the other hand, although Lawrence has as far as possible the introduction of a large number of machinery for the island's industry and agriculture. But taking into account the unit power of the machinery and the expensive cost of this period. Pack beasts like the four-horned bull are still indispensable power providers on the island.

You know, the size of a four-horned cow is about twice the size of an ordinary cow? And the whole body muscles are knotted. In terms of power, it is no worse than some small diesel engines in the previous life.

Because of these two reasons, Lawrence naturally hopes that the more these four-horns, the better. However, considering that there is a sound plan on the plain now? So basically it is impossible to change those farmlands into pastures.

At the same time, the cost of raising this kind of animals will be much higher than that of group raising, which is very uneconomical. Therefore, it is impossible to separate some of these cows and put them in human settlements to raise them.

"I might have a way." Just when Lawrence was frowning at nothing? Nora suddenly whispered ~lightnovelpub.net~ When everyone's attention was focused on her, she turned her head and sat down. A white-haired tauren witch doctor next to him asked. "Elder Qiuye, does this four-horned cow have to survive in a hot and humid place?"

"Of course not? In fact, it would be better if it can be a little dry and cooler. But the prerequisite is that the climate cannot be too dry? And the temperature cannot be lowered to the freezing temperature."

The elder of the tauren named Qiuye said that he has been dealing with the animals raised by the tauren since he took the mantle of his teacher and became a witch doctor, so it can be said that he is the person on the island who knows the four-horned cow best.

"If that's all right." Nora nodded, then released a large amount of silver thread to weave a sand table of Sauer Island in front of him and pointed to a place on the sand table and said, "I think we can start a game. A small-scale war took this meadow at the foot of the central mountain range of the island from the goblin."

"Are you talking about the alpine meadow under the Blue Mountains?" The eldest shaman among the participants, the teacher of Lanhua, stood up and was a little excited to Nora. Speaking of. "Actually we almost forgot that place. Thank you for making us remember this place again."

What the old shaman said, the tauren present also showed various expressions. Some of the older tauren also became excited, while some young tauren showed up with the humans present. Confused expression. So after the room was quiet again, Lawrence stood up and asked the shaman.

"Your Excellency, can you tell us what is going on in this alpine meadow?"
