Master of Thermodynamics

The long-eared squirrel breeding base in Tututat City is the largest breeding farm established by Haichao, as well as the most advanced breeding farm.

Because this farm uses a lot of magic machinery.

The military is wealthy and self-willed, of course, it will do whatever it takes.

This is also to implement the tenet of Lord Lord "Develop advanced breeding industry and develop mechanized breeding industry with magic energy".

Under the leadership of Lieutenant Andras, when Igos stepped into this super-large farm with 200 "breeding cages", he first saw several super-long metal rails hanging in the air.

"Lieutenant Andras, what is this?" Igos blinked a few eyes and asked curiously.

"This is the guide rail of the'Magic Feed Delivery System'." Lieutenant Andras triumphantly said, "When the time comes for the feeding of feed, the staff of the farm only need to activate this system, and the'feed truck' can move along Drive to the top of the breeding cage with the air guide."

"The staff then operate the rune square plate, and the transporter will evenly spray the feed pellets to all corners of the breeding cage... Hey, this system greatly reduces the labor intensity, and three employees can easily complete the feed placement work... "

Igos slapped his mouth and said enviously:

"Oh my God, 3 employees can handle 200 breeding cages. It's amazing... In the Odin Island farm, an average worker can only be responsible for 2 breeding cages... Your Lord is right. 'Magic Technology is the first productivity.'"

"I've heard of this magic feed delivery system developed by the Rune Research Institute. Mr. Secretary once applied to the Office of Government Affairs, hoping to get a fund to purchase it... Unfortunately, the Office of Government Affairs stated that the cost was too high. , Rejected the request of Mr. Director..."

Lieutenant Andras smiled "haha":

"The way the army does things is different from the companies under your government affairs department... The army pays attention to efficiency in everything, and is not sensitive to costs, while companies value cost more."

After a pause, he said braggingly:

"As far as I know, the purchase cost plus the installation cost of the feed delivery system installed on this army farm cost a total of 5750 Kinnars."

Igos slapped again:

"5750 Kinnars are really too expensive... No wonder the Department of State Affairs will reject the purchase application of the Department of Agriculture. This fee is enough for the Odin Island farm to pay at least 25 years of salary."

"Uh, the scale of the Odin Island farm is not that big. There are only 30 breeding cages. This system is really not needed..."

Lieutenant Andras smiled slightly and continued:

"With the help of the feed delivery system, the efficiency of this farm has increased fourfold. The number of squirrels released per month has increased from 65,000 to 268,000."

"About 30% of the squirrels raised in the farms are supplied to the territorial land, navy, and air forces stationed in the Republic, and the rest are all purchased by the Tide Chamber of Commerce and sold to other provinces in the Thousand Lakes Republic or other human kingdoms.

"I heard that the Haichao Chamber of Commerce even sold squirrel meat to the Kingdom of Snowthorns in the far north..."

Igos was surprised at hearing, and then asked:

"Mr. Lieutenant, I remember you mentioned that a small amount of magic stone powder is added to the feed of the military farm...I want to know, is it the same for the squirrels you sell to the Haichao Chamber of Commerce?"

"Not necessarily." Lieutenant Andras replied, "Sometimes the Haichao Chamber of Commerce will place a special order to purchase squirrels ‘specially supplied by the military’ and sell them to special customers."

"However, there are very few such orders. Most of the squirrels we sell are ordinary squirrels."

After hesitating, he added:

"In addition, since the'Demonization' incident, we have stopped adding magic stone powder to the feed..."

As Lieutenant Andras explained, he made a gesture to the opponent, pointed to the cages built of reinforced concrete in front of him, and said:

"Mr. Iggos, let's go and take a look at the breeding cage where the phenomenon of'demonization' has occurred..."

Lieutenant Andras called an employee of the farm and ordered a few words.

Soon, the employee drove over in a small magic transport vehicle, and drove the two quickly on the flat concrete road, passing between the tall breeding cages.

Igos listened intently to the "squeak" of the squirrel's hiss, which kept coming from the high walls on both sides, frowning slightly.

"Stop!" he called out suddenly.

The staff driving the trolley hurriedly controlled the trolley to decelerate. Iggos didn't wait for the trolley to stop, so he jumped out of the trolley and strode to a breeding cage on the right.

Then he climbed the steps to the top of the observation platform, overlooking the dark yellow semi-green grass in the cage.

In the dense grass, the "sand" of friction continued to sound, and the grass blades also swayed slightly, obviously some small things were moving.

...

Generally speaking, after entering the first snow month, the grass will wither completely due to the extreme drop in temperature.

Before that, squirrels lacking food will eat frantically, reserve enough energy, and then, before the cold winter comes, they will get into the deep underground nest and enter a state of hibernation.

This means that squirrels cannot be reared in winter.

However, the team led by Igos solved this problem.

His plan is simple, that is, to bury heating pipes in the breeding cage to heat the squirrels.

With a warm enough habitat and an endless supply of food (feed), squirrels will naturally no longer hibernate stupidly.

Obviously eat and wear, because Mao wants to go underground to endure hunger?

This is in fact the same logic as the phenomenon that "the bears bred in the zoo do not hibernate" on the earth.

Interestingly, it is not only the long-eared squirrels that change their "habits", but the same is true for the "Lott grass" grown in the breeding cage.

Thanks to the heat emitted by the heating pipes, they did not wither like their counterparts in the wild, but rarely remained green, and they continued to pull out young shoots and withered some of the "old" grass blades.

On the other hand, it is precisely because Igors has made many achievements in the breeding of long-eared squirrels, Igors was recommended by the Department of Agriculture when he sought help from the Government Affairs Office after the "demonization" incident.

...

At this time, this breeding expert closed his eyes tightly, tilted his head slightly, and listened carefully to the endless "squeaking" sound.

Behind him, Lieutenant Andras seemed to understand something, and just waited quietly.

After 3 minutes, Igos jumped off the observation platform in twos and threes, walked to another adjacent breeding cage, repeating the previous listening action.

In this way, he spent nearly an hour continuously observing dozens of breeding cages.

During this period, Lieutenant Andras maintained great patience, neither urging the opponent nor interrupting.

Until the end of the observation, the lieutenant heard the other party solemnly say a word:

"With my three years of farming experience, I can confirm that this farm is very problematic. They..."

Igos stretched out his right hand, pointed to the breeding cage, and said in a more serious tone:

"Their hissing sound is very wrong... I think this is the reaction of the squirrels when they feel a certain threat."

After a pause, he said again:

"If I'm right, the squirrel's food intake has been at least 20% less recently than before... Also, when it enters the night, some squirrels will bite the concrete wall, right?"

Lieutenant Andras didn't say anything, but the staff of the farm next to him screamed out:

"Mr. Eagles, how do you know?"
