Chapter 44 Breeding Plan


Chapter 44 Breeding Plan

If you want to raise hares, it is actually best to directly enclose a breeding farm.

Of course, they don’t have the energy now, so they first make a rabbit cage to raise them.

Considering the sharp teeth of the hare, if you make a cage with bark rope or straw rope, I am afraid that if you don't pay attention overnight, the hare will be able to chew through the cage and escape.

For this purpose, materials must be used that are stronger and not easily chewed by them.

The only ones that can be found so far are wooden boards.

After all, the Black Moon Tribe was rich in ‘big shield soldiers’.

Although Zhou Xu has obtained the opponent's truth, he has no intention of completely copying the opponent's tactics.

The previous tactic of the former leader of the Black Moon Tribe, to put it bluntly, was a tactic of asking all tribe warriors to hold up large shields to protect themselves, forming an iron barrel defense around themselves, and then using themselves as the core and in charge of C.

But the problem is that he cannot be the main C with the ability of ‘skeleton control’.

He can play an auxiliary role, but he lacks the ability to dominate the battle and decide the outcome at critical moments, and he simply cannot lead the rhythm.

At the beginning, there is absolutely no problem if you put skeleton soldiers to consume the opponent.

But the other party is not stupid, and it is impossible for him to really consume you until death.

The strength of the skeleton soldiers themselves is too low. Once the opponent makes a surprise attack, what can a dozen skeletons withstand? Even if it were doubled again, more than thirty bodies would not be able to withstand it.

Considering the current size of the tribe, Zhou Xu estimated that there would be at least fifty or more, and if a qualitative change was to occur, it would probably be more than a hundred.

There is a prerequisite for this, that is, there are more than thirty people in the opposite tribe.

Following this line of thought, facing the consumption of skeleton soldiers, once the opponent attacks, it will be difficult to catch up according to the pace of the skeleton soldiers.

At that time, there will be an embarrassing situation where the large shield soldiers will face the enemy soldiers independently. With the advantage of the skeleton soldiers, there will be nowhere to use it.

And the large shield soldiers will The bulky troops holding large shields had no advantage at all in a melee of this scale.

Following Zhou Xu's idea of ​​​​building a bunch of large shield soldiers, it is really a waste to use this kind of shrinking tactic.

In his tactics, he won't completely eliminate this unit, but he definitely doesn't need that many.

These ready-made shields are now broken into wooden boards and used to make cages for rabbits.

Considering that this hare is now considered an important food resource, it must be raised in the tribe. After finding a suitable location, Zhou Xu took a branch and drew a rectangle on the ground. Then a tribesman was called.

"Come here, follow the piece I drew, and dig out the soil on it. You don't need to dig deep, just one layer will do."

After instructing this matter, Zhou Xu turned around and hurriedly took down the wooden boards. After all, he was the only one who knew how to build this rabbit cage, and the most others could do was help him with some physical work.

Considering that the number of hares raised in captivity will definitely increase in the future, he also made the enclosure relatively large in this place.

However, Zhou Xu only asked him to dig out the top layer of soil, so the overall efficiency was relatively high.

“Chief, I’ve dug it.”

Hearing the report, Zhou Xu, who was fiddling with the planks at the time, looked up.

“Very good, then you spread the gravel to the place where the soil was dug out.”

Needless to say, Zhou Xu plans to lay a stone floor for this rabbit cage, because his current idea is to directly insert these suitable wooden boards at a certain distance around it to form a rabbit cage. The biggest advantage of doing this is that it is convenient, simple and trouble-free. The only potential risk is that there is soil under the cage.

Rabbits can also dig holes. There is no guarantee that they will not dig holes to escape, or dig up the soil and let the board fall over. In order to avoid these situations, Zhou Xu’s approach is also very clear.

You can’t dig out the rocks, right?

In the camp, there are a lot of extra gravels for polishing stone tools. It is just right to lay them there now.

Then surround it with wooden boards, and a simple rabbit cage is quickly completed.

There was no ink mark, so Zhou Xu quickly threw the first 'resident' in.

After that, the 'roof' certainly couldn't be left open like this. He wasn't afraid that the hare could jump out. It was almost as tall as a person, so it wasn't that easy to jump out.

He was mainly afraid that some raptors on the grassland would come to prey on his hare.

In the past, hares hid in the grass and rabbit holes, and it was difficult for the raptors to catch them. Now, if he raised the hares in the open air in this rabbit cage.

From now on, I'm afraid all kinds of raptors will line up to come to his place to check in and have a meal every day...

So this rabbit cage must be covered!

It doesn't take much effort. You just need to get a large shield with three door panels, cover it, and you're basically done.

Of course, after finishing the rabbit cage, Zhou Xu did not forget to get some food for the rabbit.

Now the question comes, what should I feed rabbits?

I believe that most people’s first reaction is turnip greens.

The answer is totally wrong!

Rabbits cannot eat this kind of food with too high water content as their staple food. If they eat too much, they will have diarrhea or even die...

They are herbivores, they eat grass, and They have to eat hay, usually timothy grass as their staple food.

As for that, I have to ask why Zhou Xu knows so much.

Because he had always wanted to keep a pet some time ago, he basically researched all the things that could be kept on the market, including rabbits of course.

At this time, Zhou Xu decided to breed rabbits in this primitive world, undoubtedly taking this into consideration.

Rabbits can survive by eating hay, and hay that rabbits can eat is everywhere near rabbit nests. Raising rabbits will not put much food pressure on their tribe.

Under this premise, rabbits themselves are still very fertile. In the past, rabbits were overrun in a certain country. Breeding is not difficult. Once the breeding is successful and reaches a certain scale, they can obtain it within their tribe. A stable meat meal!

In this way, after comprehensive consideration, this is undoubtedly the most cost-effective option at present.

He threw the hay he pulled out when he came back directly into the newly made rabbit cage. The rabbit didn't immediately pounce on it to eat it.

Think about it, rabbits have always been timid, even timid to the point of being scared to death.

From being caught by them to being imprisoned in this rabbit cage now, the rabbit must be extremely scared. Under a state of stress, it is normal not to eat, so just leave it there for now.

He doesn't have time to stare at this rabbit here. He has to go back to the Salt Lake Camp later.

From the time he arrived at Black Moon Camp to now, he has not returned to Salt Lake Camp.

Although considering the geographical location, all the development focus of their tribe will be shifted to the Black Moon Camp in the future, but he certainly cannot give up the Salt Lake Camp, which has two major resources: coal mines and salt.

For this reason, he must go back quickly and make arrangements.
