Volume 5: The Age of Storms Chapter 0689: Aid Korea in the War Against Japan and Boars
China used its status as the big brother to force Japan to submit, but this did not cut off Japan's path to semiconductor revitalization.
In 1970 , Intel, which spun off from Fairchild, replaced magnetic cores with semiconductor transistors and launched the world's first mature dynamic random access memory, DRAM [memory stick], marking the official entry of the world's electronics industry into the semiconductor era.
Japan has a keen sense of smell and realized that the previous suppression by the United States is no longer important and that there are new ways to play in the electronics industry.
The Ministry of International Trade and Industry immediately established the Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit Technology Research Institute, or VLSI for short, with an investment of 32 billion yen. Then the ministry pointed at Bingbing and said, "You, Hitachi, count as one, and you, Fujitsu, come up. It's too much trouble to count them one by one. Everyone whose name is called, come up, Toshiba, Mitsubishi, NEC, and so on."
The companies that were selected together raised 40 billion yen, and VLSL was officially established.
VLSI takes the path of breaking down barriers between everyone and advancing collaboratively. Everyone comes together to develop new technologies and new products. Then when it comes to sharing the fruits of their labor, everyone divides the research and development results and goes back on their own paths.
Of course, everyone will scramble for the good stuff, which will inevitably lead to bloodshed.
There is strength in numbers. In just four years, VLSI invented 1,210 patents and formed a high-quality industrial wolf pack.
Moreover, Japan, which is still suffering from a dull pain in its neck, has laid out the research and development of upstream equipment, forming a full industrial chain model of raw materials, design, manufacturing, packaging and testing. Although the red-crowned crane is small, it has all the necessary functions. Xiaoqiang's immortal body has been built, and it is just waiting for the east wind to come and soar into the sky.
There is no need to wait at all. The east wind in the 1970s has always been hanging over our heads. No matter who shouts "wind", the east wind will blow.
At that time, there was no market for Moore's Law proposed by Gordon Moore. The mainstream international market was mainframe computers, which were extremely expensive. There were only a few potential customers, and it was difficult to get one more. It was impossible to make money by constantly selling new machines to others.
Companies like IBM could not make a profit from selling machines and could only rely on maintenance and replacement of parts. Therefore, semiconductor products in the 1970s were often of very good quality and could be used for decades if well maintained.
Japan secretly gathered the three major anchor cheats of national research and development, full industrial chain, and craftsman spirit. The cameraman filmed the screen and blatantly used cheats. An anchor staged a god-killing cheat show against the semiconductor professional player from the country.
From 1970 to 1980, for ten years, Japan worked silently in the field of semiconductors, and its development changed from a 90-degree high to a 180-degree low.
The same quality, better service, and price that is always 10% lower than others. The speculative Japanese traders have brought chaos to the supply and marketing cooperatives in China.
Walkman and Fujifilm's film took over the world, Sony became synonymous with high-end televisions, and the silicon wafers that make chips, the crucibles that produce them, and even the lithography machines, the crown jewel of industry, all bear traces of Japan.
Nikon strangled the necks of GCA, K&S, and Kasper, and said with a sinister smile: "Call me daddy, or I won't give you raw materials."
Where do these three companies come from?
They are the ancestors of photolithography machines, and photolithography machines were developed by the three companies working together.
Faced with this situation, Intel beat the gong and rushed to tell others, "Master, the wolf has entered the village again," "Big Brother, the wolf has entered the village again," "Third Brother, the wolf has entered the village again"...
Just like that, when the hungry wolf was pouncing on its prey, the SIA was established. As soon as it was established, it ran to Washington to lobby. But at that time, the White House was busy promoting neoliberalism and ignored the SIA at all.
However, thousands of kilometers away, the first generation of the Star published an article in the newspaper titled "Oppa, we are going to enter the semiconductor industry."
This article was like a manifesto and also like a charge. The Blue House organized activities overnight and said, "We are copying Japan's homework and South Korea is attacking semiconductors."
Five years passed in a flash, and the SIA, which had achieved nothing, finally saw the light of day. The Japanese products that had been wandering on the periphery and had not touched the interests of the American consortium finally broke through the barriers and recruited the consortium monster.
Steve Rogers, Peter Parker, Tony Stark and other representatives of the consortium gathered in New York to form the Avengers. They combined their strength and launched a ultimate move - the Plaza Accord.
After the trick was performed, Intel poked his head out of the air-raid shelter and immediately cursed inwardly: "Fuck the trick."
Japanese semiconductors are still advancing by leaps and bounds, with their global market share rising by 5 percentage points. More than 80% of American DRAM companies have gone bankrupt, and the rest are on the road to bankruptcy.
Intel, which has invested heavily in DRAM, has no choice but to lay off more than one-third of its employees. Executives gathered at the headquarters and held a meeting to discuss the topic - how to make bankruptcy less ugly?
After discussing for a long time, everyone reached a consensus: bankruptcy is bankruptcy, and there is no such thing as being beautiful.
Since they couldn't go bankrupt beautifully, they just kept working on it. So the theme of the meeting was changed to "how to do it". In the end, everyone made a difficult decision, bid farewell to DRAM in tears, and explored CPU.
Just when China's semiconductor industry was in mourning and had no idea what would happen tomorrow, Fujitsu, which was living a happy life, drove a sports car, blasted some exciting music, and rocked the streets, swaying all the way through the city, and went to Fairchild.
"Xian Tong, I'll give you a chance. I'll protect you from now on. If anyone bullies you, tell them my name."
What does this mean?
This means that Fairchild will be renamed Fujitsu Fairchild.
We can tolerate the hopeless situation of Xiantong, but we cannot tolerate the more than 400 adopted daughters scattered around.
Back then, they couldn't stand their adoptive father and left home to set up their own families. But no matter how bad the adoptive father was, he was still the one who raised them. They couldn't tolerate someone daring to bully their adoptive father. They absolutely couldn't tolerate that.
Intel, the oldest adopted son, once again stepped forward to wave the flag, and first called AMD, with which the relationship was very strained: "My adopted father has been bullied. Let's put aside our grudges and come over to meet."
Brothers quarrel within the walls, but defend against external insults.
No matter how much brothers fight, the meat will rot in the pot. Everyone divides the meat according to their ability, but if outsiders come to grab the meat, the meat will become less.
What a huge force these more than 400 adopted children are! They are more than half of China's semiconductor industry.
There is a saying that there would be no Silicon Valley without Fairchild. It was Fairchild's whale fall that created Silicon Valley.
Fairchild not only has more than 400 adopted children, but also thousands of fanatical fans. These fans call Fairchild "Xianquanbi", half wall plus half wall. When Fairchild is in trouble, the whole of America will support it.
The entire U.S. semiconductor industry has started moving, and along with it, the capital invested in them.
This time, SIA finally straightened its back and started to use its "Piao Piao Fist" strategy. In March 1986, Japan was found to have dumped DRAMs.
Six months later, the US-Japan Semiconductor Agreement was signed. Japan took the initiative to open up its domestic semiconductor market and invited American companies to obtain 20% of their market within five years.
A month later, Fujitsu's acquisition of Fairchild was rejected.
By the way, old accounts were also dug up. The issue of Toshiba exporting machine tools to the Soviet revisionists in 1983 was brought up again, and a live broadcast of a congressman swinging a sledgehammer and smashing a Toshiba radio was carried out on the streets of the United States.
Nan Yi vaguely remembered that day, Shengchen Pharmaceutical's Laotie 666 Cold Medicine was flying around in the sky above the country, searching for the top brother on the list that he had been thinking about.
Although Japan suffered another blow, their semiconductor market share is still increasing, so SIA called everyone to a meeting to brainstorm and discuss how to cut off the source of the problem again.
After half a day of discussion, everyone came up with a series of plans, which can be summed up in four words: "aid Korea in the fight against Japan." They would no longer take action themselves, but would support South Korean semiconductor companies to compete in the DRAM field.
Of course, for the capital behind China's semiconductor companies, they can support them, but they must be interdependent.
Not long after Nan Yi got up the next day, he received a call from Scarlett. After the call, Nan Yi knew that the opportunity to invest in Xingxing was coming soon.
I went to the bathroom to wash up, and woke up the two kids to go out for exercise.
As soon as they went out, they formed a straight line, then changed into a V-shaped formation when they were halfway to Mount Fuji. When they reached the foot of Mount Fuji, the three points became two, and Nan Wuwei was already on Nan Yi's back.
You can only go to the foot of the mountain and cannot go any further up. Mount Fuji is only open to tourists in July and August. If you want to go up the mountain at other times, you need to apply in advance and let the management department check your qualifications first. Expert climbers please go up, and those who don't know the truth can get out.
I was forced to do this. Mount Fuji is a snowy mountain, and there were too many ignorant young people who climbed to the top in bad weather. At first, I felt so confident that I could go anywhere in the world. But when I got to the top of the mountain, it was my father who saved me.
"Dad, save me."
Nan Ruoyin found a piece of ice from somewhere and playfully stuffed it into Nan Wuwei's clothes from the back of his neck.
"naughty."
Nan Yi scolded him lovingly, reached into Nan Wuwei's clothes and took out the ice. Before taking it out, he deliberately drew a few strokes on Nan Wuwei's back, causing Nan Wuwei to grimace.
I stood at the foot of the mountain and enjoyed the breeze for a while. On the way back, I took a detour along the Kawazu Sakura Road to admire the cherry blossoms that bloomed earlier than other places.
At noon, Nan Yi and his party split into two groups and flew to Xiangkeng.
It was very embarrassing. As long as Nan Yi and any two little guys were traveling together, one plane would not be able to accommodate them, not to mention the security guards they brought with them.
When they arrived at Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport, Nan Ruoyin left first, while Nan Yi and Nan Wuwei continued to wait at the airport for the flight to Shanghai to take off.
On May 20, a day that oscillated between ordinary and special, Nan Yi and Nan Wuwei returned to Fang Mansion.
Since Liu Zhen was left alone in Shanghai during the New Year, when Liu Zhen came home from get off work and saw Nan Yi and his son, she couldn't help but scold them. Only after she calmed down could the three of them have a good meal.
"The state has liberalized the transfer of treasury bonds and selected seven cities as pilot cities."
"I heard that your bank has a large transaction volume?"
"It's not stable. Sometimes it's over a million, sometimes it's 200,000 or 300,000." Liu Zhen said, "According to the tellers, there are several familiar faces at the counter selling treasury bonds."
Nan Yi picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into Nan Wuwei's bowl. "Oh, this year's new coupons?"
"We have both, mainly new ones."
"It must be from banks in other cities."
"It should be. The prices in each city are different. The price here in Shanghai is a little higher than in other cities. There is a price difference of several yuan. I want to make adjustments with branches in other cities."
"Forget it. You, the bank, are playing the role of referee. You are competing with small households for food. It's too ugly. Director Liu, don't just take the good stuff for yourself. You have to allow ordinary people to get rich."
Nan Yi tapped the back of Liu Zhen's hand with his chopsticks, "You are so short-sighted. Didn't you see that your son likes to eat it? You have the nerve to snatch the last one from your son."
After Nan Yi finished speaking, he picked up the last Wangci fish from the soup bowl and put it into Nan Wuwei's bowl.
"I only ate one." Liu Zhen pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
"There are only three tangs in total. There are also some silver carp and crucian carp in the basin. You can eat whatever you want."
Nan Yi made a mixed fish stew, which was four or five kinds of small fish mixed together in a pot. He also added a lot of fish roe and fish maw.
"There are too many thorns. Please help me pick them out."
Nan Yi picked a few fish maws from the soup bowl and put them into his bowl, stuffing them into his mouth one by one, without paying any attention to Liu Zhen.
Liu Zhen put a crucian carp into her bowl and complained, "Okay, Nan, you're too lazy to be polite to me now, right?"
"Don't look for trouble. Don't use your unreasonable tricks as women. Don't force me to make you go hungry for nine meals in three days." Nan Yi said, pointing at the TV, "Who plays Wanrong?"
Liu Zhen turned around and looked at her, saying, "I think her name is Li Ge, but I forgot her last name. The TV comic strip said she went abroad, and her husband is the chairman of a foreign company."
"You also subscribed to the TV Comic Strip?"
"No, I just bought one at the newsstand that day." Liu Zhen replied, and suddenly changed the subject, "I won't talk nonsense with you, answer me first, what do you mean I can't stand good things? What do you mean I have ugly eating habits?"
"It's just a joke. Don't hold on to it. It's good for the country if the trading of government bonds is invigorated. If you make any adjustments, the benefits will go to your banks. What will the people eat? The financial market should be a financial market. Don't make it worse than a casino."
"Don't be alarmist. I just put forward an idea. Whether it should be implemented or not must be discussed at the meeting and approved by the higher-ups."
"Come on, just leave your stuff in your office and don't bring it home. I was planning on you leaving Wuwei here, but now it seems like forget it. I'll just send him to New York."
"I will take care of my son myself." Liu Zhen said decisively: "How long will you stay in India?"
"It will take some time. Besides the things in India, I have to deal with other things along the way. I may not be able to be free this year. I can only fly back a few times at most."
"Then why don't you take your son with you? Don't you take your son with you to other places?"
"The food hygiene there is a big problem. Besides, Wuwei should go to kindergarten soon. He needs to play with his peers more."
Nan Yi picked up a few more fish maws and scraped away the last bite of rice in the bowl.
Liu Zhen laughed and said, "Oh, I thought you were planning to keep your son in your hands forever."
"What's the point of controlling him? I just want to spend more time with my son. I'll only be away for half a year, so you better take good care of him. If anything happens, I won't let you off easily."
"Tsk, you don't even need to tell me, he is the flesh that fell off my body."
Nan Yi stayed in Shanghai for a week, personally selected a kindergarten for Nan Wuwei, and observed him for two days. Seeing that Nan Wuwei had adapted well, Nan Yi left Shanghai and went to Jigongtang, Huizhou.
I haven't been to Jigong Tang for a while, and I found that there have been great changes here. First of all, Jigong Tang has become a simple experimental and test base, and the large-scale breeding function has been removed.
Secondly, the layout here has changed. Different trial breeding areas are planned in an orderly manner. There is also a water outlet on the top of the hillside , and a small stream meanders along the hillside into the small reservoir below the hillside.
At the junction of the stream and the reservoir, a group of fish that look similar to silver carp but much larger are trying desperately to swim upstream.
"Nan Yi, it's not easy to get these fish species. I didn't know before that it's very difficult to catch Yangtze River knife fish alive. This fish is very tricky. It doesn't swim in a straight line in the water, but in a vertical Z shape. Fishermen along the Yangtze River call them tricky fish. If there is a slight disturbance in the water, the knife fish will swim away."
"Oh, Auntie, these fish species must have cost a lot of money, right?"
"It costs an average of 728.5 yuan per fish to get here. This fish is difficult to catch and transport. It has a fierce temper. It hits the fishing net when it is just caught, hits the bucket when it is thrown into the bucket, and hits the car again when it is sent to the car. It keeps hitting its own head flat and knocking its scales off. It is simply seeking death.
Less than 10 out of 100 can make it here alive, and less than half of them can survive when they are released into the water."
As Ge Cuizhu said this, she was still feeling scared.
"The cost is a little higher, Auntie, you should have tasted the taste of this fish, right?"
"To be honest, it tastes good, but I don't think it's good enough to deserve our attention," said Ge Cuizhu.
"Haha, it has a long history and is so famous. It will definitely be sold for a high price in the future. However, it can only be ranked second at best. Auntie, where is the shad? Why don't I see any of it?"
“They are all big fish.”
"Oh." Nan Yi nodded.
The young shad live in fresh water and generally return to the sea to grow when they reach 15 cm in length. It is a migratory fish.
"Nan Yi, we are lucky. Not long after the fish were delivered, this fish was included in the Red List of Endangered Species, a first-class wild protected species."
"Have you reported this to the relevant authorities?"
"I have reported it and have received special approval. We can keep the fish species."
"That's good. Otherwise, we can only go to Weinan to catch fish. I don't know if the Yangtze River shad and Weinan shad are the same."
"Nan Yi, I heard that someone has offered 400 yuan per kilogram to buy shad. It is more cost-effective to raise shad than to raise knife fish. Knife fish are too difficult to take care of and must be fed with live fish and shrimp."
Nan Yi frowned and said, "Must it? Knife fish don't eat black soldier flies?"
"Yes, but you have to feed it with other food. You can't just feed it black soldier flies."
"Well, let's try it slowly. First, make sure we can keep them alive, and then try to simulate their original living environment. The fish here will definitely not taste as good as those in the Yangtze River. Auntie, don't say which one is more cost-effective, just keep them and see.
It’s still the same idea. We’ll try to raise them ourselves first. Once we’ve gained experience and have fry, we’ll sell the fry instead of raising them ourselves. Let’s go and take a look at the black soldier flies.”
At the beginning of this year, Jigongtang added a trial breeding project for black soldier flies to explore the possibility of introducing black soldier flies for domestic breeding.
The black soldier fly looks similar to a fly, except that its body is more slender and its color appears a little darker. Although it looks similar to a fly, it is completely at the opposite end of the spectrum from fly to fly. It can be said that the black soldier fly is full of treasures, and every stage of its life is a treasure, and it can also turn waste into treasure.
Black soldier flies eat poultry and livestock feces as well as kitchen waste. If we explore it in depth, we may not only be able to solve the problem of poultry and livestock feces polluting water sources in the future, but we may also be able to find the key to solving the problem of domestic waste from it.
The black water bull eats feces and garbage, but it can be transformed into high-value animal protein feed, which can be processed into animal protein feed additives or directly used to feed a variety of poultry, fish, and frogs. In addition, antibiotics, fat enhancers and other ingredients used in the production of high-end beauty products and medicines can be extracted from its body.
Nan Yi and Ge Cuizhu came to a trial breeding area covered with gauze. When they lifted the gauze and walked inside, they could see wooden frames placed on the ground.
Nan Yi walked to a wooden frame, leaned over and reached into the loose soil, and caught a bunch of squirming insects in his hand. "Are these cute little things easy to take care of?"
"The ones in your hand are hard to serve. They eat fish. The ones next to them eat dead chickens. The ones next to them eat slop from restaurants. The ones at the edge are the easiest to serve. They eat chicken, duck and goose droppings."
Nan Yi smiled and said, "I thought so. These little things are white and plump."
After putting the black soldier fly back into the frame, Nan Yi stood up and rubbed the dirt off his hands. "Black soldier flies eat chicken manure, and the chickens eat it, so we can save money on chicken feed. But it's a waste to use this stuff only as chicken feed."
"Right now we can only see its value as feed." Ge Cuizhu said disapprovingly.
"Aunt, don't be impatient. As long as it can be used as fodder, it is worth raising. We don't need to wait for the rice to be cooked. We can afford to wait for a few years. Other values can be explored slowly and bit by bit."
"I'm not in a hurry, but the group has suddenly added so many projects that only spend money but don't pay out. A lot of funds are occupied. Over time, liquidity will be a problem."
"Well, we'll make some adjustments at the end of the year depending on the situation."
Nan Yi nodded, walked out of the mesh trial breeding area, and went to another larger trial breeding area.
This breeding area is a special chicken breeding area, which is divided into smaller areas, and each area is at least tens of meters apart.
Nan Yi walked to an area with a plaque that read "Metal Chicken" and looked inside through the fence. He saw two pitch-black chickens standing on the open space inside the fence.
The Metal Chicken is a peculiar breed among chickens, with black feathers, a black mouth, black bones, black internal organs, and black eggs.
After carefully observing the metal chicken for a while, Nan Yi turned around and asked Ge Cuizhu, "Aunt, their poop is not also black, right?"
"It's just darker, not pure black."
"Tsk, that's a flaw." Nan Yi said with regret.
Metal chicken contains trace elements and multiple vitamins, can synthesize 10 kinds of amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body, has extremely low cholesterol, high nutritional value, and is nutritious and delicious. In addition, metal chicken has the advantages of low breeding rate and rare production.
Moreover, in Indonesia, locals believe that this kind of chicken has magical powers and firmly believe that this kind of chicken can cure diseases and bring good luck. It is often used for sacrifices or bought home as a pet by wealthy people.
Summarizing the advantages of metal chicken, it is easy to come to a conclusion that it has the potential for hype.
Nan Yi prepared this kind of chicken for the counterattack on Indonesia. Metal chickens are already very expensive in Indonesia, but they have not yet reached sky-high levels. Nan Yi plans to make metal chickens the king of chickens, at least in terms of price.
After seeing the metal chicken, Nan Yi went to see the Japanese long-tailed chicken, the silky-feathered black-bone chicken, and the fighting cock. These are all chicken breeds that have the potential to grow into high-priced chickens. After being improved by the Fan Shengzhi Research Institute, they were put here for trial breeding.
After looking at these chickens, Nan Yi went to the Dongtao chicken breeding area.
Dongtao chickens are very delicate and require a relatively large free living space. It is difficult to achieve large-scale breeding in China. Moreover, before the improvement, it is difficult for the chicken breeds to grow and reproduce outside of Weinan. Even after improvement, they are still not as good as the chicken breeds raised locally in Weinan.
Unfortunately, it is not very convenient to go to Weinan for research at the moment, and this problem cannot be solved for the time being.
"Aunt, that chicken doesn't look very well. Is it sick?" Nan Yi said, pointing at one of the Dongtao chickens.
Ge Cuizhu said: "The veterinarian checked and there is nothing wrong with his body. I don't know what's wrong with him. He looks listless all day long."
Nan Yi stroked his chin and guessed, "Maybe he's depressed. It looks like we need to assign an animal psychologist to Jigongtan."
"Nan Yi, are you sure you're not joking with Auntie?"
"Of course I'm not kidding." Nan Yi said seriously: "People can have mental illnesses, and so can chickens. Find a psychologist to comfort them from time to time. If they are in a good mood, they will eat more and grow faster."
"Do you want to add a few pedicure and massage?"
"Massage is fine, but pedicure is fine. Dong Tao chicken's feet are precious, so they can't be haphazardly trimmed."
Although the feet of Dong Tao chicken are ugly and a bit disgusting, they can be sold at a high price. In a restaurant in Xinan, a pair of purebred Dong Tao chicken feet can be sold for more than 20,000 dong, which is about 35 US dollars.
"You, I really can't say anything about you." Ge Cuizhu pointed at Nan Yi, shook her head and said helplessly.
"Haha, the latter part was just a joke, but I am serious about being a psychiatrist. I didn't notice this problem before, but now that I think about it, I really should get one."
Nan Yi thought that we should really pay attention to the mental health of animals. The Dong Tao chicken in front of him was a castrated chicken, and it might be depressed because of this.
"Can you find the psychologist you want in the country?" Ge Cuizhu asked uncertainly.
"It's hard to say. Not to mention in China, it's not certain that we can find one abroad. Let's try to find one first. If we can't find one, we can entrust them with training."
Nan Yi and the other man talked as they walked and headed towards the breeding area for breeding pigs.
"Aunt, what's the current market price for pig breeding?"
"It depends on the quality of the boar. If the boar is good, there will be people who will mate with it even if it is 10 or 20 years old. If the boar is not good, no one will mate with it."
"Holding the piglets?"
"Twenty or thirty, almost two yuan, less than three yuan per pound, it's not certain. The price of pork has increased recently, and the price of piglets must have increased as well."
"Well, that's not too expensive. What's the price of corn out there now?"
"I only take one or two loads, 23 or 24 cents."
"It's OK, it only went up by one or two cents. As for rice, I remember it was 1.9 cents last November. How much is it now?"
"Two cents, this price is just for reference. Where can I buy rice? How much will be left after I pay it at the grain station? It's not even enough for my family."
"How can anyone dare to eat white rice for every meal? You can just make do with whole grains for a few meals."
Local levies are becoming increasingly heavy. If farmers rely solely on farming, their living standards are not much different from before the land was distributed to households. The only difference is that the economy has been liberalized, and as long as farmers are a little more smart, they can make some money.
Ge Cuizhu sighed and said, "The farmers have it hard. They have only had a few days to eat to their heart's content."
"Difficulties are only temporary. Hope lies in the golden fields." Nan Yi said, and then changed the subject, "Aunt, how often do we feed fish to our boars?"
"Feed once every other day, two kilograms of minced fish meat each time, and bone meal every other meal."
"What about black soldier flies? Have you tried feeding them?" Nan Yi asked again.
"I didn't dare try it. It's almost time for the boars to work, and I'm afraid they'll get sick from eating too much."
"Um."
As they were talking, they came to the breeding area for breeding pigs.
In the breeding area, sows are kept in a relatively large pen, while boars move freely outside, with the two sides separated far apart. A worker is bathing one of the boars by the pool, while another worker is chasing flies with a fly swatter in the corner.
Ge Cuizhu pointed at the boar snoring under the tree and said, "That one has the best breed. It has produced three litters of good breeds. The piglets it gave birth to are healthy, eat a lot, and grow fat quickly."
"Then control its mating frequency and don't let it get too tired. How does the boar exercise every day?"
"One worker accompanies one of them for an hour in the morning and evening, letting them go out for a run, down the mountain, around the reservoir and then come back," said Ge Cuizhu.
"You can't just run around. It's better to get them some basketballs to play with. The space here is not big enough. It would be best to raise the boars on a hillside so that they can get more exercise."
"We dare not move them now. If we move them to another place, they may not be able to get used to it."
Nan Yi said: "We should not only focus on this batch, but also find a few more test sites with different climatic conditions in China to observe the differences between the boars raised under different climatic conditions."
"There are already several test sites. There are two breeding boars at the Changbai Mountain Deer Farm, two at the Qiongdao Eel Breeding Base, and some in Sichuan and Zhejiang provinces."
Nan Yi took two steps forward and approached the boar he had just observed. "Then we should find another spot in the drier area of the northwest. We will observe for two years, summarize the experience, and then try other pig breeds.
Now that China is at the stage of eating meat, our focus is on Large White pigs. When we develop to the stage of eating good quality meat in the future, our focus will shift to other pig breeds.”
"The group is also exploring ways to breed the special pig breeds you mentioned. The trial breeding area next door includes Ningxiang Wuhua pigs, Jinhua Liangtouwu pigs, Taoyuan black pigs, and Bama Xiang pigs."
"Well, I'll go check it out later. Jigongtan raises so many species, so we must be very careful with the hygiene and control the number. We can't stuff everything in here. These are all treasures. We should not use them as experimental subjects for ecological farming."
Nan Yi stopped and looked at the pig lying on the ground from head to tail, especially the bottom of the tail. He stood there and looked at it carefully for a while, "What kind of fruit do you usually feed them?"
"Watermelon, peaches, apples, and some wild fruits, whatever is in season is given to them."
Nan Yi asked again: "How often do you check their bodies?"
"Five days."
"It's better to increase the frequency, to two days a week, and the sow pen should be far away to prevent the young boars from masturbating."
"Don't worry, these have all been taken into consideration."
"Um."
Nan Yi visited all the trial breeding areas of Jigongtan, then returned to the checkpoint at the foot of the mountain, took off his protective clothing, and followed Ge Cuizhu to the simple office beside the reservoir.
After talking with Ge Cuizhu about the work of the reclamation group, Nan Yi went to Shencun to visit Fan Hongdou, then stayed in Beijing for two or three days, and then went to Tokyo to pick up Hagiwara Sayuri, and the group embarked on a journey to Mumbai.
If you ask Nan Yi what his initial impression of Mumbai was, he really can't answer.
After the plane landed at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Nan Yi and his party did not enter the city of Mumbai, but went directly to the more backward outskirts of the northern city and headed straight for Peacock Villa.
