This breeding farm is a good thing, but it requires two breeding animals, one male and one female.
Although chickens, ducks and geese are good, there are no such animals in the Arctic. The system mall has not refreshed these animals for the time being, and there are only dead ones at the 009 scientific research station.
Therefore, the hawkfish can only choose one of the small animals in the Arctic region to raise.
In this case, there are far fewer animal species to choose from.
Small animals in the Arctic include arctic foxes, snowshoe hares, and lemmings.
The Arctic fox is the first to pass. This thing is really beautiful, but the meat is not tasty, but the fur on its body is very valuable.
Breeding is worthless. On the contrary, it is a bit too 'punishing', so I will directly block it.
Lemmings are not a protected animal, but they are a particularly cute little polar creature.
Not only that, lemmings are the most fertile of all animals known in the world, bar none!
They can give birth to an average of seven to eight babies a year, and each litter can give birth to about twelve lemming pups. It only takes more than 20 days for the pups to reach sexual maturity and then start giving birth to the next generation.
Scientists once made a mathematical model of lemming fertility.
Suppose a lemming couple starts giving birth to babies in March. They give birth to seven babies in a year, with 12 babies in each litter, a total of 84 baby lemmings.
The 84 little lemmings also began to give birth to babies, and their babies would give birth to a large number of babies twenty days later, and the cycle began again.
By the end of the breeding season in August, the lemming couple's offspring will reach the eighth generation in less than a year.
At this time, the number of eighth-generation lemmings born, the last batch of lemming newborns this year, has reached a terrifying 559,872.
The total number of lemming couples and their descendants now is even more astonishing.
A total of 1,647,086!
A family of two multiplied into a super family of more than one million in one year. Even if half of the population was reduced due to natural disasters, man-made disasters, natural enemies, premature death, etc., there would still be more than 800,000.
This is such a terrifying number, and how much energy is contained in the small body of the lemmings. They are simply emotionless reproductive machines.
For this reason, Huoyu dare not rashly raise such a super-fertile animal.
Haven’t you seen the rabbits and kangaroos that are rampant in Australia? That is a negative case of introducing a certain species for breeding without conducting experiments.
If lemmings are raised well, they can directly meet the meat needs of hundreds of people. If they are not raised well, it will be a disaster. A mere breeding farm cannot accommodate their descendants.
What's more, this little thing looks like the pet hamster Huo Yu had when he was a child. Huo Yu really can't tolerate this thing.
When Huo Yu thinks about eating this thing, he can think of a 'delicacy' that he hates... Sanzhi.
Sanzhi'er is a dish, also known as honey.
The raw material of this dish is a newborn live mouse. When the eater picks up the live mouse with chopsticks, it will squeak, which is the first squeak.
When the eater dips it in seasoning, it will squeak again. This is the second squeak.
When the eater puts a live rat into his mouth, the dead rat will make a final "squeak", hence the name "San Squeak".
Huo Yu only has one word to describe this dish.
That is: Ouch!
The lemmings have also been eliminated, so the only animal that can be cultured at the 249 scientific research station is the polar snowshoe hare.
What a nice little rabbit, white and white, cute and delicious...
It is simply the perfect species to breed!
After finalizing the breeding goal, Huo Yu set his sights on the next item.
【Bird Whistle Arrow】
[Function] After being ejected, it can emit the sounds of various birds and attract corresponding nearby birds.
[Price] 5000 recognition points
Huo Yu frowned slightly.
Attract corresponding birds? What's the use of this thing?
Looking for a mother for the little snowy owl?
The key is that I don't really want to help the little snowy owl find its mother, and even if I find it, the little snowy owl is already tainted with the smell of humans and arctic wolves, and its mother doesn't necessarily want it.
Huo Yu casually put the bird whistle arrow into his space backpack.
He always keeps a few of these functional special arrows in his backpack in case of emergency. What if they are needed one day?
Among the remaining things, [eye drops for improving eyesight] is a new thing.
This is a bottle of eye drops that will give your eyes stronger vision after you put them on.
It's a pity that this kind of thing can only be used by little snowy owls, but snowy owls' eyesight is already very strong, so using this eye drop is the icing on the cake at best.
The acuity of owls at night is 100 times that of humans, but the level of vision during the day is deviated. However, the snowy owl is a very special owl, and its vision during the day is also good.
[Universal Veterinary Pills] Huo Yu had obtained this prop before, but that was a traumatic injury, this time it was an internal injury.
However, the little guys have been well protected by Huoyu and have never had the opportunity to use them.
On the contrary, the little white whale got sick once, but that time it was an illness, not an injury, and pills were of no use.
The only equipment item [Eagle Raising Arm Guard] is a white-quality equipment. Its effect is to enhance defense and allow bird pets in the sky to find their position more easily.
The effect is mediocre, better than nothing. But when the little snowy owl grows up, I can take it out to fill the cup, and I can also cosplay Harry Potter...
What interests Huo Yu the most is the last item:
[High protein American cockroach] One box!
Judging from the name, this should be an insect for the little snowy owl to eat.
I just don’t know what type of insect it is. After all, Huoyu, who majored in Arctic geography in college, doesn’t know much about the types of insects.
Huo Yu took out the box of [American cockroaches] and placed them on the bed.
The packaging of this box is very simple, just an ordinary white foam box.
Huo Yu gently removed the seal, and then took off the cover...
"Mistweed! Mistweed! Mistweed!"
-=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ﾍ(´Д`)ﾉ
Huo Yu's screams echoed in the bedroom.
The next second, he threw the box to the ground and quickly backed away.
My mother!
What kind of weird American cockroach?
That's a cockroach! A cockroach bigger than an eyedrop bottle!
As a Chinese who grew up in the north, Huo Yu's resistance to giant cockroaches is completely zero.
Regarding cockroaches, living fossil insects that existed on Blue Star in ancient times, Huo Yu only had one idea, and that was why he didn't take them with him when there was a mass extinction of life...
Huo Yu curled up at the head of the bed, scaring the little seal next to him so much that he almost jumped up.
After a full ten seconds or so, Huo Yu came out of his fright.
Huh... luckily I have quick hands and quick eyes and threw away these disgusting things.
The next second, the trembling voice of a certain wolf cub sounded in the bedroom:
"Ouch~ (I'm so numb, what kind of things are crawling on me~)"
Huo Yu was instantly petrified.
The image of the little wolf cub covered in cockroaches instantly appeared in his mind, and goosebumps soon appeared all over his body.
I don’t want this wolf cub anymore. You want it for whoever you love...
