Through the rain, Guan Fei could vaguely see the newly built prefabricated houses in the valley.

This valley is relatively deep, about 300 meters wide, but more than one kilometer deep, making it a very secluded and good place.

Not far from the valley is a long-shaped steep rooftop bungalow, which is where the logistics platoon and the guard squad soldiers live, and there are also forty hired local people living here.

Guan Fei doesn’t really want to put too many soldiers here. After all, they are all educated young people who have been educated in junior high and high school. It’s a waste to just use them for logistics and raising them.

However, the breeding farm he built is not very large now, but the ultimate goal is to build a super-large intensive modern farm. In the future, it will reach the scale of hundreds of thousands of chickens and tens of thousands of pigs, and will become the main supply area for meat products in the city in the future.

Scientific breeding is different from farmers' free breeding. It is a scientific breeding base that follows industrial standards, has strict scientific basis and is operated with standardized procedures, with high technical content. Ordinary farmers do not understand the principles and are free and casual, and may not strictly abide by the operating procedures. This will not only reduce the breeding efficiency, but also cause serious losses due to wrong operations, such as failure to sanitary environment and incomplete disinfection procedures.

The soldiers are different, obey discipline and obey orders.

Moreover, Guan Fei himself does not have practical work experience in this area. He just copied out the key points of the relevant intensive feeding technology and green circulation farm and handed it over to the farm cadres for them to digest and absorb it in practice. This requires a certain level of knowledge. Without educated youth soldiers as agricultural technicians, it is not possible to rely on the local farmers invited by the local government.

There are doors in front and behind this dormitory, and you can hear the sound of sawing wood inside from outside. Guan Fei walked over and pushed open the front door, and found that it was busy inside.

Although it was raining, the soldiers did not rest.

"Brig Commander!" A soldier turned his head accidentally and found Guan Fei standing at the door with a smile on his face, and immediately shouted.

All kinds of sounds disappeared suddenly.

The soldiers stopped their work and looked towards the door. Sure enough, they saw Guan Fei's tall figure standing in front of them.

"Brig Commander, why are you here?"

"It's raining outside. Brigade Commander, you are..."

"Whoever has clothes to do, hurry up and get a set for the brigade commander!" The soldiers all rushed over, expressing their surprise and concern for Guan Fei's unexpected arrival.

The warriors are not fools, nor are they puppets without thoughts. They have their own views on good and evil and their judgment of things. Even if they don’t say it, they know in their hearts. Since the establishment of the 291st Brigade, everyone understands how much Guan Fei has done for this Brigade and everyone knows.

Seeing Guan Fei working tirelessly and having so many important tasks to be busy every day, he still came to visit everyone in the rain, and everyone felt warm in his heart. Even the local people hired, although they did not surround him, were watching from afar with eager eyes.

"Company Commander, change it quickly, your clothes are soaked! This little comrade, you can also change your clothes and stop catching a cold." Song Tao, the head of the feedlot and the platoon leader of the logistics company, quickly took out a military uniform from his bed and handed it to Guan Fei.

Another soldier next to him also handed his dry clothes to the guard Xiao Li. The driver parked the car and walked in, but he was in the car and didn't get wet until the rain. When he came in, there was a small piece of wet on his shoulders. Just wipe his face with a towel.

Song Tao's width is similar to Guan Fei, but he is a little shorter. 1.72 meters tall for southerners of this era, but he is much shorter than Guan Fei's 1.85 meters tall.

There was no need to find a suit for Guan Fei among the soldiers here, so they had to use his command.

Guan Fei took off his wet clothes, and the warrior immediately took them over and washed them and dried them. He changed into dry clothes. Not only did he, but the soldiers around him, all laughed.

The sleeves are about ten centimeters away from the wrist, and the trouser legs are obviously shorter, just like wearing children's clothes.

"Brig Commander, this dress fits, just the hand tube. The trouser legs are too short, as if they are shrinking. You are wearing this outfit here. If you wear it back, you may laugh when you see it." Song Tao was so happy that he leaned back and forth, pointing at Guan Fei and laughed.

"Oh, Song Tao, dare you laugh at me? Who made you only 1.72 meters away? It's unreasonable to say that you are short, but I'm too tall!" Guan Fei said furiously.

Song Tao was scolded by him, but he was not afraid at all, but he felt happy.

Guan Fei spoke out his true height as soon as he opened his mouth, which showed that he really cared about the cadres and soldiers below. Only by keeping them in his heart can he shout out the other person's name, family situation, and past experiences without any obstacles.

It is a blessing for thousands of cadres and soldiers of their 291st Brigade to have such a brigade commander!

Guan Fei smiled and greeted every soldier around him. Everyone said a few words, calling out the other party's name at once, and then commenting on recent work and life changes. He would like to praise and encourage him for his good work and life. If he encounters setbacks, he would care whether their difficulties have been solved, whether the troops need help, and whether the knot in his heart has been opened.

Although everyone could only say one or two words, every soldier was satisfied, smiling from ear to ear, and surrounded him and couldn't bear to walk away.

After a brief conversation with the cadres and soldiers, Guan Fei had a conversation with the hired people.

These honest local people were shocked to find that although Guan Fei had never met them, as long as he introduced himself, he could immediately shake hands and talk to him in a targeted manner.

"Uncle Shuan, right? The family is fine. Your son Haidong has been hired. Now he has been assigned to the 13th Engineering Team, responsible for the leveling work of the University of Electronic Science and Technology. Don't worry, the troops will take care of him. Their captain is Comrade Chen Heping from the second platoon of the Third Company of the Engineering Battalion. This is an old comrade. He is serious and will definitely bring Haidong out and become a real construction worker in the future!"

"Brother Gongba, you're only nineteen, you're so tall! Is your mother's health better? Well, when you go back, you carry your mother to the health center to see. The elderly have bad stomachs and should not be careless even if they have minor illnesses..."

...

Dozens of people were communicated one by one by one by him as if they were chatting about family matters. Everyone was surprised that the brigade commander was so familiar with himself and his family situation, and he also admired him very much - can he remember so many things? Is that what ordinary people can do?

After Guan Fei greeted everyone, he asked everyone to continue working, and then found a place next to him with Song Tao and other cadres to understand the work situation.

"Brig Commander, I'll take you over and see it directly. The scene said that you know more in detail." Song Tao said that, and then found a few umbrellas and prepared to take Guan Fei to the spot to take him to the scene, and said while watching.

"That's better!" Guan Fei agreed happily.

He rejected Song Tao's idea of ​​helping him hold an umbrella, and he didn't want Xiao Li to help. He took an umbrella himself and walked out of the house to spread it open.

Song Tao took him to see the maggot breeding room first.

This was built during his time in Hong Kong based on the information provided by Guan Fei. At that time, the troops were short of food and clothing, and these wooden houses were all built by soldiers with axe and axe, and then sawed them into wooden boards with saws. It took more than a month to build them.

The construction of temporary schools that just started was different. With the woodworking machinery he brought back, the wood was sent back, and the good use was determined based on the thickness, and you could directly use a table saw to cut it into pieces and then divide it into pieces of wood.

When Guan Fei came out, the work had been shown. Trucks of wood were transported, and in more than an hour it turned into regular wooden boards and sticks. Then, under the guidance of Meng Nan and other field engineering teams, the teacher's office was under construction.

At this rate, it is expected that the teacher's office may be built when you go back tonight.

This is the charm of the industrial age. Even if manual work is half exhausted, it is not as good as industrial mass production in one day.

However, the feedlot and temporary school buildings are all made of new wood and have not been dehydrated and dried. Now, in order to rush, if you use these new wood to build buildings, there will definitely be shrinkage and deformation in the future. You can only repair it when the time comes.

The maggot breeding room is located near the riverside, and a small path is opened along the mountain wall. It walks more than ten meters forward to another small depression.

This was also the construction of a maggot breeding room here according to Guan Fei's instructions.

Because the foul-raising smell is strong, if placed in the valley, it will make everyone, poultry and livestock feel uncomfortable, so you can only find a separate ventilated place for feeding.

The breeding room is also a pointed wooden house. In order to prevent rain, the roof is also covered with oil felt, and to prevent spontaneous combustion in summer, a layer of asbestos is built. The surface of the asbestos is brushed with asphalt, which is to prevent asbestos silk floc from falling off and causing it to get uncomfortable on people.

The wooden house is fully enclosed, and there are two-layer mesh cages placed up and down on both sides of the house. The mesh cage frame is made of wooden sticks, with a piece of iron sheet at the top, front, back, left and right, and bottom is a plastic mesh. There are four legs at the bottom, which makes there a certain gap between the upper and lower layers.

This is an adult fly cage, used to feed adult flies that grow wings.

Fly eggs are collected twice a day. The feeding ground is to stir a large disk with ammonia carbonate and wheat bran to form a mixture of about 60% water, and place it at the bottom of the adult fly cage, close to the plastic net.

Flies will actively extend their tail ends out of the grid and lay eggs in the egg collection dish under the scent.

Walk further forward, there are small ponds made of cement on both sides.

Due to the lack of supplies and no cement before, the pond was smoothed out from the cement they brought after Meng Nan and the others came. It was just two days after they were built.

The pool is not big, only 1.5 meters, and is forty centimeters high.

In order to prevent maggots from crawling out, a net was also covered with it. At the same time, a hole was made on one side and a piece of gauze was sewn for feeding operations.

After the eggs are collected, they are placed in the maggot pool and hatch in just eight hours.

The reproduction speed of flies is amazing. Each female fly can ovulate 100 to 200 times. When the temperature is between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius, it can hatch in eight hours, mature in four days, and start to form pupa. After three days, it will break out of the cocoon and become a fly.

In this kind of maggot breeding room that Guan Fei explained, the daily yield of two maggot pools can reach ten kilograms.

Whether raising flies and malns or worms, both of these use the high content of protein contained in their bodies. As animal protein in poultry and livestock, they do not use them as feed. The proportion only accounts for between four and ten percent of the total feed.

For example, if a chicken is raised in a feed farm, each chicken consumes an average of 90 grams of feed per day, so the content of fresh maggots and earthworms only accounts for a few grams.

Ten kilograms of maggots are enough for more than 2,000 chickens to raise.

In addition to ingesting animal protein, chickens also need to eat energy foods such as corn, minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and potassium, and vitamins. In order to help chickens digest, they also need to place sand trays to let them peck themselves.

So it doesn’t mean that with earthworms, maggots will no longer need to pay for feeding chickens.

In order to raise feed, the 291st Brigade is using rice to exchange corn kernels for ordinary people. When they get it back, they have to grind it into corn flour. Then they will participate in other auxiliary ingredients, mix with the chopped green vegetable leaves, and then mix maggots that have been scalded with boiling water into it. This is the final feed.

If there is not enough food source, what kind of maggots feeding chickens is nonsense!

It just transfers the food saved by humans to eat a large amount of meat, poultry and eggs to poultry and livestock for consumption, and converts it into meat products and egg products to achieve the balance of human nutritional intake. It does not mean that with these two feeding methods, it is omnipotent and no other feed costs are required.

The cost is the same, or even higher!

If Guan Fei had not had enough financial resources and was willing to invest in order to keep the educated youth, he would not be able to afford to play a large-scale breeding farm! He could only do it like ordinary farmers, either free-range or small-scale breeding. The growth period of poultry and livestock will definitely not have high meat content.

The significance of raising earthworms and raising flies and maggots is that they have high nutritional value. After eating poultry and livestock mixed with these feeds, the production of meat and eggs increases, and the laying period of laying hens is prolonged.

For example, the growth period of domestic chickens is generally 180 days. Eating this feed can shorten the growth period of ten to twenty days and enhance the ability to resist diseases. Broilers gain 20 to thirty percent of their weight, and laying hens extend the egg laying period for dozens of days.

This is the real economic value of raising maggots!

The growth period is shortened and the output cycle will be faster; enhancing resistance can reduce the mortality rate of poultry and livestock diseases and reduce the cost of treatment; not to mention weight gain, the unit output will increase; prolong the egg laying period will be equivalent to extending the service life of the production line and increasing the rate of return.

This is like the three-inch wafer production technology, which is the same as the six-inch wafer production technology. This is its technological content!

For farmers who have mastered the technology of maggot feeding, have experience in large-scale concentrated scientific feeding, and are well-funded, these benefits are all money, which is of course more cost-effective than feeding with general feed!

Farmers who do not know how to raise earthworms and maggots breeding techniques have a far lower output ratio than farmers who have mastered this technology at the same cost. Even if they understand the benefits, since they do not know how to raise them, they can only purchase finished products from others, which is also expensive.
Chapter completed!
