Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Basically, there is no need to worry about these shellfish being eaten by Nile barramundi and sturgeon.

Soon Wang Lu began to learn some information about freshwater pearl cultivation.

In fact, he probably knows that freshwater pearls are actually inferior to seawater pearls, and their recognition in the market is also much lower.

The nacre density of freshwater pearls is low, which is a common problem of freshwater pearls. Take the triangular clam, the main production species of freshwater pearls, as an example. This thing is very hard-skinned, not picky about the environment, and grows quickly, so it secretes nacre. Exuberant, this also causes the density of freshwater nacre to be low, and the stone structure is not tight, so the hardness of freshwater beads is poor, the cortex is slightly rough, and the gloss is relatively poor.

But Wang Lu thought for a moment. If he used his vitality energy, he might not be able to solve this problem.

He is very clear about the wonderful use of vitality energy. Once the river mussels in Lake Victoria absorb the vitality energy, the nacre they secrete is definitely stronger than ordinary river mussels. Even the pearls produced by marine shellfish cannot match!

Wang Lu knows that some pearls from special origins are sought after by the so-called upper class, such as the famous Tahitian pearls, which are uniquely produced in the salt lakes of Polynia. They are extremely precious and enjoy the title of Queen's Pearl and Known as the Queen of Pearls, it is world-famous for its unique black luster and excellent quality.

"Maybe in the future our Lake District will become such a well-known pearl producing area and have a place in the jewelry industry!"

When he thought of this, Wang Lu became inexplicably excited.

Then he called Parker over and studied the feasibility of cultivating pearl clams in the lake area.

After hearing his boss's thoughts, Parker scratched his head and said:

"Boss, as you know, I am not professional in farming, but in theory it is completely feasible to farm clams in the lake area, but please note that I am talking about farming clams. As for whether those clams can produce Pearl, this is not something I can guarantee!"

Seeing this guy's troubled look, Wang Lu didn't want to continue to count on him, so he decided to do it directly. Anyway, raising some mussels in the huge lake area was nothing at all, and it didn't cost much money.

So Wang Lu began to think about breeding varieties.

If you were an ordinary person and wanted to engage in pearl clam farming, you would have to carry out a series of preparations such as preliminary hydrological environment research, site construction, manpower recruitment, etc. But in Wang Lu, this does not need to be so troublesome.

Apart from recruiting professional manpower, there is no need to consider anything else. Having vitality and energy can save a lot of trouble.

Wang Lu still planned to consider first what kind of mussels should be cultured.

There is no doubt that the spinnaker clam in hand is a good choice. It is already distributed in the Lake Victoria area, so survival is no problem.

Moreover, the spinnaker clam itself is also a high-quality freshwater pearl clam species, and the pearls produced are of fairly good quality. Many manufacturers of artificially cultured pearls choose this species.

However, after Wang Lu did some research on this freshwater pearl mussel species, his eyes also fell on another type of mussel. Crested crested clam!

This freshwater mussel can also produce pearls, and the adult individuals are much larger than the spinnaker mussel of the same age. Theoretically, the pearls it can produce are also larger, and the pearls produced by this mussel grow faster. It's also very fast. After all, the larger the clam, the more nacre it can theoretically secrete. However, these pleated crested clams are not as popular as the triangle sail clam.

The reason is that although the pearls produced by these crepe-crested clams grow quickly and are large, their texture is poor and their shape is not interesting. Therefore, even with the advantages mentioned before, the pearls produced are not valuable at all. Naturally Not so popular.

But Wang Lu is eyeing this kind of pleated crested clam that is widely distributed in the country. He can smooth out the shortcomings of this thing with vitality energy, and its advantages are what he needs!

Thinking of this, Wang Lu immediately finalized his idea and planned to import a batch of pleated crested clams from China to the Lake Victoria area.

Wang Lu acted very quickly. He called Professor Qin in China that day and asked him to help him contact the relevant exporters.

The export control of this kind of common mussel is much looser than that of sturgeon. Even the relevant local departments do not have too strict requirements on this. This kind of wrinkled crested clam can be found in the freshwater of many countries around the world. distribution, and does not pose any threat to local water species, naturally there is no strict control.

In particular, Wang Lu's money-making ability can solve many troublesome problems, and this matter was settled smoothly.

Only Professor Qin in China criticized the whole process:

"You kid has been thinking about it all day long, and now you are thinking of breeding mussels. This crested clam is not a valuable species. I really don't know what you kid is thinking!"

Although the old professor said so, things were not easy at all. He successfully helped Wang Lu contact a freshwater shellfish exporter and purchased a batch of crested clams.

And privately, Professor Qin still admired Wang Lu.

"This kid often has the ability to turn decay into magic. Maybe he will be able to come up with something surprising this time."

There is no other way. Who told Wang Lu that he had planted wheat, rice, corn and other crops on the pasture before?

This batch of pleated crested clams was also flown directly to the ranch under Wang Lu's heroic and wealthy operations.

As soon as they arrived at the ranch, they were placed directly in the shallow water area of ​​the U-shaped bay. There are currently no natural enemies of clams in the lake area, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.

And as soon as these wrinkled crested clams arrived at the pasture, Wang Lu took the opportunity to infuse them with vitality and energy to ensure their survival rate and the quality of the pearls they would produce in the future.

In addition, Wang Lu also recruited a group of workers who are experienced in the core transplantation operation of pearl mussels to specially perform core transplantation for these wrinkled crown mussels.

The reason why these clams can give birth to pearls, to put it simply, is that during the growth and development process of these clams, some extremely tiny gravel, bugs and even plankton may enter their bodies. It is some kind of chance coincidence. In some cases, it is stuck in the bodies of these mussels and cannot be removed by them. This forms a so-called "bead core"!

Because these "bead cores" are foreign objects in the mussel's body, they will continue to stimulate the mussel's body to secrete nacre and wrap the "bead core". (End of chapter)
