Chapter 112 - 110 Rainy
They finally decided to build a small factory on No.7 Farm and set up two sets of equipment, bringing everything together for debugging. No.9 Farm would then gradually add more equipment.
The people from Dongshan would not be able to come over until summer, so there was no rush at the moment and still time.
No.7 Farm was also building one because there was enough land available for growing a good amount of wheat straw. Since there were only a few dairy cows currently, the plan was to breed more. Everyone would focus on their own tasks; if successful, they’d earn extra money, but if they failed, they would start with No.7 Farm, learn from the failures and then scale up at No.9 Farm. This way, even if they took losses, it wouldn’t be crippling.
If they made money, they wouldn’t need to worry about having an extra set of equipment or taking up more space. Even if they failed, they could still recoup some losses by selling fresh milk.
Several breeds of cows had also been transported over, including some horses, which could also be sold in the future.
Can you believe it, in the face of natural disasters, many people couldn’t get enough to eat, yet the rich district was able to maintain their pre-disaster lifestyles with virtually no difference—and they even had their own equestrian centers for training, engaging in posh activities for exercise.
The base needed some horses for transport, as they were much more flexible than cars, gasoline was hard to find, and resources were almost depleted. A change in thinking was necessary, avoiding excessive dependence on machines.
In addition, as the ranch expanded, raising more cattle and sheep would increase the output of meat products, allowing more civilians to eat poultry and meat. The idea from above was to increase breeding and planting efforts, gradually moving away from consuming mutant animals.
