"Almost everything is done, what's left are the labor and insect species, but our funds have been used up."
Two people in a large breeding farm, Zheng Luoyun was somewhat worried, the remaining 80,000 yuan, after entering the insect feed, now only one thousand yuan left.
It seems that there is still a significant funding gap, after all, the initial investment of 700,000 yuan in insect feed, although it sounds like a lot, with nearly a thousand bags of 100 kg of feed, but if the number of insects increases, this will not be able to withstand consumption, and more feed must be stored.
If the number of insects in the breeding farm develops once, it cannot be temporarily cut off. This cut is all dead, and the rhythm of losing money is lost.
Moreover, not all insects have corresponding insect feed to be fed, some even need leaves, grass and other chlorophyll plants to provide nutrition, which requires manual procurement, or even collecting in the mountains.
Feed, labor, normal electricity and water consumption, various factory-related expenses, leaving less than 10,000 yuan, which is obviously far from enough. A clever woman cannot cook without rice.
"In two days, the Goddess Mantis Fighting Championship will begin. At that time, we'll go up and make a fortune. I'm not confident about getting first place, but as for the top three, Xiaocheng is still a stable bet." Li Feng said to Zheng Luoyun with some reserve.
"That's all I can do, I myself have several tens of thousands in savings, but even if I take it all out to give to you, I'm afraid it won't be of much help. It's better for me to go up and press Xiaocheng hard at that time." Zheng Luoyun said with a little excitement.
"Alright, I appreciate your kindness. You've been busy for so many days in a row, now take two days off starting from now. Let me know when you're boarding the ship, and I'll think about what kind of insect to raise."
"Alright, since we don't have the funds to proceed for now, let's come back and deal with it later." With five consecutive days of wholehearted dedication, Zheng Luoyun was even more attentive than Li Feng, the owner.
And she could see that Li Feng indeed wanted to expand and strengthen the farm, with continuous investment, even if he would only hold 3% of the shares in the future, it was still much better than her own small business.
After Zheng Luoyun left alone, the entire breeding base was left with only one person, Li Feng. With no outsiders around, he sat down in the office and pondered what kind of insect species to introduce.
First, starting from the simplest consideration, introducing a worm species must prioritize strong survival ability, fast reproduction speed, and being non-picky eaters, after all, its original intention is to collect blood essence for self-sufficiency.
Secondly, the insect species introduced in the second batch must be considered for making money. Of course, if they can make money and provide a certain amount of blood essence at the same time, they will naturally be given absolute priority to introduce.
After thinking for a long time, Li Feng finally decided that he must introduce five species of insects that can maintain blood supply, and then consider making money.
The entire farm now has a building area of about 7,000 square meters and an empty space of approximately 5,000 square meters.
It's clear that the 5,000 square meters is a waste, and the 7,000 square meters seems quite large, and relatively speaking, it's not a small starting point for an ordinary insect farm. However, in order to provide more hematite for himself in the future, Li Feng must be meticulous and frugal.
Soon, he had some ideas in his mind. The insect species that must be introduced with absolute priority are: "Black Ants", "White Ants", "Flies", "Mosquitoes", "Cockroaches" and "Dragonflies".
The above six types of insects are extremely resilient in terms of reproduction speed and survival, and with them, the stable collection rate of blood essence can be guaranteed.
And for making money, Li Feng initially also had some insect species selection.
Honeybee
Earthworm
Bread worm
Centipede
Scorpion
Poisonous spider
Cricket
Silkworm
Mealworm
Not too much or too little, adding up to exactly fifteen, with the current fifteen separate breeding houses, Li Feng can only develop to this scale at most.
After careful planning, he suddenly realized that his insect breeding base was still too small.
If possible, the likes of grasshoppers, crickets, and ground beetles... etc., although their breeding speed can't compare to that of ants or mosquitoes, due to their considerable body size, the amount of hemolymph they possess is also quite substantial.
An hour later, it was decided to raise fifteen categories of insects. Li Feng immediately took action and purchased the insects, which would have required a large amount of goods from relevant channels if done by an ordinary person.
But Li Feng has Ant King and Bee King as his demonic creatures, so why would he need to spend money to raise insects, just catch them directly.
The breeding farm is only three miles away from Shijie's home, and Li Feng did not return home at this moment, but took a shortcut to enter the back mountain.
Orders have been issued.
At this moment, ten ant kings and ten bee queens led their subordinates to launch a targeted insect-catching operation in the back mountain.
One hour... two hours... three hours.
It wasn't long before all fifteen species of insects that needed to be raised were successfully caught by Xiao Hei and the others.
The numbers are not small, at least they are all in the thousands.
With such a large breeding base, at the rate of reproduction and growth of insects, it is estimated that in less than ten days, the number of insects will reach a terrifying figure.
Just as Li Feng was about to pack up and head back to the farm, suddenly he found that he had neglected something.
Because he suddenly discovered that insects like black ants, bees and white ants are not generally bred by catching male and female insects, but must catch the queen ant and queen bee.
Li Feng immediately stopped in his tracks and waited for another hour. Under the personal efforts of Xiao Hei and Hu Feng Wang, they finally caught ten bee queens, ten ant queens, and ten termite queens from the back mountain.
For these insect queens, Li Feng still saw their true appearance for the first time.
Especially the queen ant, Nima, is indeed a super invincible breeding machine in insect society, and it's dozens of times larger than ordinary ants. Looking at these thirty-level insect queens.
Li Feng suddenly had a crazy and astonishing idea, if he raised all these ant queens and bee queens into fifth-level demon servants, wouldn't he be able to control the entire ant colony and bee colony?
Is the reproduction speed even more terrifying? Or are the larvae born from reproduction even larger than the original ones?
The more I think about it, the more likely it is. Heaven knows, now a single ant queen has already grown to dozens of times the size of ordinary ants. If she has been fed five times, how big will her body be? And how terrifying will the number of eggs she lays at one time be?
Even if the larvae produced are larger than before, then this accidental discovery is awesome.
"It seems that specializing in breeding insects with eggs is a lucrative business, the ultimate way to quickly breed super insects."
