Chapter 312 Farmhouse
Engineer Tang, who refused to admit defeat, really had the idea of mini-raising industry. The first thing he had to deal with was "that smell". Who doesn't often get rained in the chickens, ducks, fish, horses, cattle and sheep in nature? Will not "artificial rainfall" be regularly taken care of the living environment of the chicken star people?
Will the Chicken Star catch a cold? In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Colds are not caused by low temperatures, but are exposed to cold viruses. Ninety-five percent of people in the double-blind test showed that as long as a small amount of cold virus is inhaled, it will be infected, and immunity has nothing to do with whether the human body is strong.
Of course, a lot of rain will cause "dethermic loss" and affect health, but it has nothing to do with a cold. Tang Gong will not be so crazy about the chicken star to the point where it loses its temperature.
Unexpectedly, the "spraying method" is used in the chicken coop, which is interesting. In the vegetable tower, the root system is inserted into the tower with a 45-degree oblique angle and is covered by a black cloth that is not transparent and water-tight. This is because the root system is afraid of light. Therefore, the owner cannot appreciate the spray fairyland of the vegetable tower.
In the rainy chicken coop, the owner can enjoy a short and romantic heavy rain when he has time.
Lin Feier became accustomed to the student and immediately asked: "Is it too much to let poultry rain every day? Have you ever seen a sprinkler truck on the main road? The spray head sprays from the middle of the middle road to both sides. It has a strong force and will not wet the whole body. At most, pedestrians who cannot dodge into mud legs. It is most suitable to clean the metabolic products in the chicken coop. If I raise chickens at home, spray them many times a day, I will ensure that there is no smell at all."
Tang Ning praised: "Good idea. But you can't see the romantic artificial rain, which is a pity."
Linfell: "What's the best thing about the chickens?" After saying that, he burst into laughter.
What Xixi is more concerned about is how many chickens she can raise. She is not good at math, so she has to ask someone to help her calculate.
Lin Feier: "Using the specifications of single villas in Tsinghua Park, the kitchen is a 4-by-4-meter grid. A half-meter wide grid makes full use of 16 square meters of space. Raising 16 chickens only occupies 2 square meters of space. A chicken has 0.5 square meters of space. I think it is quite humane... No, chickens are here, what is the growth cycle of a chicken?"
Tang Ning continued: "It depends on the type of chicken. White-feathered broiler can be on the dining table for about 40 days. However, raising half of the raw laying hens is more cost-effective. An excellent hen can produce 280 eggs a year. Even if Phil's "chicken-doctrine" chicken raising method, 8 chickens can produce 2,240 eggs. Not to mention that one or two owners in a single villa can be enough, a family of four can guarantee that one or two people can eat 560 eggs per person."
Xixi clapped her hands: "It's great. A little space can make the family have endless eggs. Who doesn't like it? I don't know that hens can give birth to them so much..."
Linfell: "It turns out that you can grow up in 40 days. So you can raise 9 broilers a year, 8 by 9 means 72 chickens, which is about enough for the owner to eat one or two meals a week, which is also very good."
Tangning: "And I think there is a problem with Phil's chicken doctrine. These are for eating, so... there is no need for that chicken doctrine. At least two in one grid, you can use another algorithm to account. Isn't the growth period 40 days? In this way, if you put ******* for less than 10 days together, you can put 16 chickens for less than 10 to 20 days together, you can put 8 chickens forever, 2 in one grid, 2 in one grid."
Linfell calculated excitedly: "God, 16 have become 120, and produce 16,800 eggs per year! You can eat 540 chickens at the same time! If you can't eat them, you will be in a favor."
Xixi said in surprise: "Why did 560 eggs become more than 10,000? It seems that something is wrong..."
Tang Ning laughed: "She considers the chicken to be able to lay eggs, but it's really wrong."
Lin Feier blushed and was too excited. The broiler was right, but the number of raw laying hens was wrong. Regardless of the details, it is feasible to produce thousands of broilers annually and thousands of eggs, depending on how the specific chicken coop is designed.
When the project is really progressing, engineers may divide the chicken lattice into upper and lower layers, and may design the isolation plates between the lattice to be moved left and right to reasonably allocate the space. In short, after preliminary discussion, raising chickens in 2 square meters of space is enough to supply all the chickens for the owner, and egg consumption is certain.
The problem of "that smell" has been solved through the sprinkler truck solution. The metabolites treated by hot dry can be sold to professional compost companies like the kitchen waste of Suiyuan Hotel. Another difficult problem is the noise problem of poultry, which is really difficult for ordinary people to solve. Fortunately, Tangning spent a lot of effort to solve the sound insulation problem when designing a hamster apartment for Paris HDB flats. Only by using closed sound insulation materials in the chicken house can the "farmhouse" live a happier life.
The problems of "that smell" and "that sound" have been solved, and there is also the learning curve required to manage the chicken coop. Not all owners who love cooking also love the breeding industry, and I am afraid that the owners who love slaughter will retreat halfway.
Therefore, Tangning attaches more importance to the key issues in these two "painless chicken farming" solutions. Learning and technical problems are easy to solve. Like vegetable towers, after the owner takes the chicken coop home, he can choose the full-process hosting service provided by the company.
From hatching to broiler, raw laying hens are distinguished, feed is provided to disease control, cleaning and hygiene to final slaughtering, ensuring that the owner almost does not have to interfere in all aspects. At most, it is to receive packages sent by the company every once in a while and help replenish the feed in the automatic feeding machine.
The chicken and eggs that you can't finish eating can also be sold to the metro supermarket at the "factory price" in time. The pricing of the entire service and equipment refers to the chicken and egg prices in the market, which is guaranteed to be a little more cost-effective than buying chicken at the farmers' market. After all, this is equivalent to a wholesale throughout the year.
The tentacles of the Windsor Wealth Empire have touched the chicken farming industry, which makes the professional breeding chickens a little unhappy. Moreover, this service is also crazy to contract all the chickens and eggs for a family of one year at a time. Maybe the leftovers will hit the chicken market, which really makes the chickens a little unbearable.
This is just the beginning. Can those who are hit by chickens and become ducks survive? The good days of raising geese are over. We can’t enjoy the fish-water joy that specializes in fish farming. Obviously, the urban family breeding industry created by the amateur breeding enthusiast Princess Sissi’s brains can also be used to raise fish.
Fish don’t like to shout or move. The water environment is natural and three-dimensional, and it is more feasible than urban family chicken coops. Haven’t you seen ornamental fish tanks so popular in the city? As long as the ornamental fish tank is slightly improved into a "edible" fish tank, there is no technical obstacle, and it still lies in the innovation of consumption concepts.
After Emperor Tangning returned to Munich, he was not in a hurry to summon members of the Windsor Council to discuss military and national affairs, but summoned a large number of chicken and fish experts, which was in line with his usual style of not doing serious business.
Of course, this is also because Lin Fei and Sissi issued a joint statement to the Council, proving that the big boss of the Windsor Consortium has returned the jade to the end, and everyone will do whatever they should do, and the world is still under the control of the Emperor.
With the Emperor here, the underachievers of the Qing Empire were simply a little kid-like battle scumbag. No one would worry about the Qing Dynasty, whose internal affairs were unstable, would play tricks. The only suspense was how the Emperor dealt with the Qing Dynasty, which refused to join the plan to travel to the high seas.
After a deep chat with fishery experts, Tangning learned that raising fish in the kitchen is indeed feasible, and various problems can be solved through miniaturization equipment. The porous air pump can increase the dissolved oxygen problem of dense fish schools, and the submersible pump with filter can remove metabolites from the bottom to keep the water environment clean.
The water in the fish tank needs to be replaced about one-quarter every week. Every time you change the water, fresh clean water needs to be added. At this time, the powerful filter can convert tap water into hardness (sodium ions, magnesium ions related), the bacterial content is qualified, the temperature is suitable, the pH is matched with the fish, there is no peculiar smell, and there is no good water for aquatic plants such as green moss.
The heater and cooler will simulate the fish school's favorite temperature. Tangning also issued a plan to fish experts to study the use of piranhas to control dead fish. Of course, it is best not to die. This seems difficult to do. The fish raised have lost the natural selection of nature, have a weak constitution and a high rate of dead fish. If there is no scavenging fish, clean the fish and the fish tank will be easily contaminated by the corpse, which is annoying to watch.
Of course, the "piranha" must be small, and the piranha in each fish tank cannot threaten the survival of normal fish. The value of the company's services lies in the ability of experts and professional equipment to excellently select, disinfect and remove insects of fish fry. However, disinfection of salt water (freshwater fish) and potassium permanganate and other disinfection cannot be too extreme, otherwise even the fish will not survive.
This leaves a certain amount of living space for insects such as bacteria and parasites. Similarly, Tangning’s way of dealing with these two terrible fish farming obstacles is to use biological natural enemies. The competition between the most famous killer sharks in the sea is very fierce, but one place is the “neutral zone”.
In this magical neutral zone, all the originally ferocious predators have become gentle. It turns out that there are 24 hours, seven days a week, and uninterrupted parasite removal services all year round. The colorful little fish are servants serving the fierce and large fish.
Tangning wanted to recreate this natural harmonious relationship in the artificial fish tank and introduce a small number of insect-killing fish. As for the treatment of bacteria and viruses, the main method is to prevent and control the spread. The method is to raise it in boxes and sample metabolites regularly to observe colonies. There are also this method for chicken coops.
Because it is for the purpose of consumption, the beauty of the fish tank is a secondary consideration. Corals, fake stones, bottom sand, aquatic plants, and accessories are not considered by Boss Tang. A fishery expert took a fancy to the potential of fully automated breeding and asked: "Boss, why do you have to help others raise fish? If this kind of fish farming industry with full environmental control can be successful and can be promoted on a large scale, the economic benefits will be great. I think it is more profitable than renting equipment to residents to raise fish by themselves."
Tang Ning smiled and said, "What's the difference between me and other capitalists? This was the idea that my wife came up with, but later I thought that in addition to providing the freshest ingredients to residents, it also has a special significance, because agriculture is scattered to every household, which gives the entire society a strong ability to resist scarcity.
A large number of natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, wars, plagues have a long buffer period. With the vegetables, chicken, fish and the city has the freedom to be free from scarcity. My friend, this is an invention that changed human history."
