Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 143 141. Difficulties in the Breeding Industry

997年1月15日，尼尔带着50名骑兵、150名无魔者和相当于一个中型蛮族营地的物资向北前往夜麒城遗址。

Neil's team shouldered the important task of exploring the ruins and gathering other barbarian tribes. For this reason, Lant specially saw him off before leaving.

Rand was not just sent to the gate of the camp, but sent Neil's team on the fire to the Cornico Pass.

"My lord, at the speed of the fire, we will reach the ruins of Yeqi City in a while." Neil joked with Rand. Yeqi City is more than 100 kilometers north of the mountain pass, and Rand can indeed reach it in a day.

"It's okay, I'll see you off again, you guys have worked harder than me all the way." Rand's words were obviously full of frustration and helplessness.

"Is it because of those fish?" Neil guessed.

"En", Lan, who was riding on the fire, nodded, not wanting to mention a word.

It is true that Rand used to send Neil to relax because the fish farming was not going well. To be more precise, Rand's fish farming was quite successful, but the magic fish farming has not seen the dawn of success so far.

It is said that Rand bought at least 8 containers of fish fry. These fish fry were hatched from the eggs of monster fish and sold after they grew to a certain size. Ordinary nobles bought these fry to feed larger ornamental magic fish.

And Lante hopes to use the concept of cages in his hometown to dig fish ponds in the land to raise small fish fry continuously, and finally grow up pools of monster fish, providing the basic source of monster meat for the demon possessors in the territory.

His idea is very simple, first build a closed fish farm, dug a number of standard size fish ponds in the fish farm, put the fish in the container into the low temperature pond with cooling function, and then enter the nursery pond to grow to 5-10 cm After the small fish, put it into the third fish pond.

The function of the low-temperature pool is to slow down the growth rate of the fry, because there are too many fry bought, and Rand is also afraid that it is too risky to invest too many fry at one time.

育苗池内有通风通风（加氧气）、加热（保持较高水温促进育苗生长）、生命（促进水澡生长）等等法阵, 这些法阵可以让鱼苗在7-9天之内成长到5厘米以上的幼鱼, 育苗池12平米左右的池子会放入600尾到1200尾鱼苗。

There are already 10 adult fish ponds, each of which has magic circles for life, heating, ventilation, etc. After each one is completed, young fish of different densities will be put in for experiments. It can be eaten when it grows to the size of 1 catties in about two or three months.

What Lante hopes is to feed the magic fish fry with magic grains, so that these fish will become level 80 monster fish in about 0 days, which can not only provide meat, but also provide a source of magic.

Rand's earliest plan went smoothly. More than 1000 fry became juveniles first. However, Rand didn't realize that these fish are all descendants of monster fish. After they grow to 10 centimeters, they will have the territorial awareness and attack that only monsters have. sex.

These traits have been present since the first juveniles from the nursery pond entered several adult ponds 6 days ago, each pond having more than two juveniles would attack each other almost overnight until only one remained .

In the only pond used as a control, because there was no magic grain feed, the juvenile fish were relatively calm, but if they were fed normal feed, the probability of the juvenile fish becoming a magic fish was basically zero.

There were juvenile fishes attacking each other for several days in a row, and Rand's thousands of juveniles were almost killed, leaving only single digits, which made Rand very depressed.Rand tried to use crates or cages to confine the juvenile fish, but with little success.

Rand regards breeding exploration as the scientific research of his previous life, and he is constantly looking for key variables that affect juvenile fish, but the progress is stagnant, and because after each juvenile fish fight, Rand needs to change the water in the fish pond and check the magic circle again, so It also delayed Wendy's arrangement to take the earth-type goblin to the galloping horse baron's territory to level the road.

"My lord, let me tell you that these fish fry were originally used as rations for other fish. Why don't you send someone to catch some small water swordfish, raise them in the pond, and then feed them with young fish. The pond is empty anyway. "Neil had an idea.

Rand felt that Neil's words were not unreasonable. The number of water swordfish that became monsters was not too many, but there were many that did not break through, and it was easy to catch.The key is that after several failures, he hopes to put his energy and resources in some directions that are more suitable for him.

After relaxing, Lante returned to the territory, sent Wendy out, and asked her to lead the earth-type goblins to level the road from Rotor to the Baron of Galloping Horse, and sent them a task to catch water swordfish. I feel better.

In fact, since Rand returned to the territory, not only fish, long-haired sheep, black-scaled horses, pack animals, grouse, gray geese, mallards, wild boars, guinea pigs and other animals raised in the camp, or There are more or less problems. Rand is thinking of ways to solve these problems every day by combining the ideas of his previous life with the magic of this world, and carry out large-scale breeding of all species that can be raised.

However, only when you really get started with Rand will you know the old saying: If you have a fortune of millions, those with hooves don't count.All kinds of farmed animals will have various problems in winter, especially insufficient feed and poor animal resistance, which may cause plague.

Even with Kay, the priest of life, it can only suppress the plague, and all breeding activities can only wait for the arrival of spring.

. . .

Now that the development of the breeding industry has encountered a bottleneck, Rand put his focus on swordsmanship and riding. In the past few days, he began to learn swordsmanship with several intermediate knights.

In a specially compacted open space, swords clashed, fighting spirits clashed, and Rand practiced here for several hours every morning.

In the Chaofan Market of Maned Wolf City and Longtai City, Rand bought some battle qi potions. Each bottle of these potions can replenish 5% of Rand's vindictiveness. The price ranges from 5 to 7 gold coins, which is more cost-effective than direct krypton crystals. Quite a lot.

"Did he treat the vindictive potion as broth? It tastes like it doesn't cost money." Lant's training in the morning will also attract Huck and Ryan to watch. pain.

"It's already much better." On one side, Luo Er had experienced Rand's kryptonite training, so he naturally felt that it was normal. "I think he usually trains too little, and the occasional assault training can't effectively improve his swordsmanship."

Rand could hear the conversation between the two clearly, and he also knew that training was a daily thing, and it wouldn't be effective if it didn't accumulate over time. That is, the training of fighting spirit is far more important than the training of swordsmanship.

In powerful swordsmanship, it is difficult to fight against the difference in level. In fact, the level is directly related to the use of fighting energy. The stronger the knight, not only the fuller fighting energy, but also the more proficient in using fighting energy.
