Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

In addition to building a Yantie railway to Siberia, the second major thing Ningyuan did was raising pigs.

That’s right, raising pigs.

When he was on the Lost Continent, Ning Yuan launched a vigorous national pig-raising campaign in the Holy Griffin Kingdom in order to allow the Griffin Beast Legion in the Griffin Mountains to go out to fight.

This time, Ning Yuan deliberately put pig raising on the agenda so that the gryphon beast army in the Griffin Mountains could truly get out of the Griffin Mountains.

In addition to the rare dragons in the game, griffins can be called the strongest melee air force.

Even if the Dragon Eagle Knight and the Silver Pegasus Knight encounter a large group of griffons, they must choose to suspend their sharp edges, because the griffin beasts not only have terrifying attack power, but also have an extremely powerful body, and ordinary attacks are very difficult. It's hard to really hit them hard.

Originally, it was a very happy thing to have a griffin beast army, because having a griffin beast legion means having a certain air superiority.

After the Condor Empire occupied the Lost Continent, Ning Yuan became the person with the largest gryphon army in the entire game world, which made him feel extremely proud.

But after all, this is a game known as the second world of mankind. Many contents in the game are very close to reality, so sometimes having too many good things in your hand may not be a good thing, but it may be a kind of happiness. trouble.

For Ning Yuan, the gryphon beast in the Lost Continent's Gryphon Mountains is his biggest happiness worry, because the gryphon beast not only has powerful attack power, but also has an extremely terrifying appetite.

As a purely carnivorous monster, each adult griffon must eat at least one sheep every day.

Although griffons have extremely strong endurance and can go without eating for a week, if they are really hungry for a week, when they start eating again, not to mention a sheep, even a cow will be Not necessarily enough for them to eat.

So despite the terrifying attack power of the gryphon army, the forces that own the gryphon army look awesome, but the bitterness behind feeding gryphons is something that many people cannot truly understand, because many times The heart of the master of the Griffin Beast Legion was bleeding.

There is no other reason, it's just that the gryphon beasts are too good to eat, and every meal they eat is meat.

Ning Yuan understands the hardship behind supporting the griffin beast army much more deeply than the average person.

There is no way, who makes the Condor Empire have the largest number of gryphon beasts.

When the Condor Empire came out of Shanhaiguan in the west and began to join the ranks of China, many Chinese players were very puzzled by one question, that is, why did the Condor Empire not send their most powerful gryphon beast army to join the battle.

At first, the players thought that Ning Yuan was deliberately conserving his strength and wanted to use the griffin beast army on the hardest bones.

However, as the war continued, the Condor Empire wiped out the forces entrenched on the land of China one after another, but Ningyuan still did not send many griffin beasts to participate in the war, which suddenly made many people very puzzled.

In fact, not only ordinary players have this kind of confusion, but many players in the Tenglong Army also don't understand that Ning Yuan does not send the Griffin Beast Legion to participate in the war.

Many players think that Ning Yuan is too cautious. The gryphon beast is not like a kitten or puppy that will die at a touch. There is really no need for him to be so cautious.

So the reason why Ning Yuan refused to send the Griffin Beast Legion to participate in the war is really as the players guessed. Is it because he was worried that the Griffin Beast Legion would suffer unnecessary battle losses?

The answer is of course no.

In fact, Ning Yuan wants the griffon beasts to help him fight the world more than anyone else, but he can't just let the griffin beasts help him fight without giving them enough food!

You must know that those uncles are pure carnivores and can eat several sheep at every meal. How many sheep does Ningyuan have to raise so that they can eat it?

Unless Ning Yuan was willing to give them all the cattle and sheep on the Mongolian prairie, he and Ben would not be able to produce enough food to sustain the daily consumption of the griffin beast army.

In nature, why do high-level predators have their own territories, and why do many top predators not like to live in groups?

Isn't it because the amount of food per unit area is limited and not enough for them to eat?

The Griffin Mountain Range is vast, with a tropical marine climate, warm and rainy year-round, lush vegetation, and rich animal and plant resources.

Since plants can grow there year-round, it's a paradise for herbivores.

White-hoofed fragrant pigs have strong adaptability to the environment and can give birth to two litters per year, with each litter producing more than a dozen to twenty cubs.

As an omnivorous monster, as long as there is enough food around, they can reproduce indefinitely and quickly fill a large area.

The environment of the Gryphon Mountains is very suitable for white-hoofed pigs to thrive there. Therefore, with its strong reproductive ability, white-hoofed pigs have always firmly occupied the top spot in the population of large herbivores in the Griffin Mountains.

They can be found in every corner of the Gryphon Mountains. If it weren't for the existence of some natural enemies, I'm afraid they could breed to the point where there would be no grass growing in the Gryphon Mountains.

In the natural food chain, one of the main functions of apex predators is to limit the unlimited reproduction of herbivores through hunting, thereby maintaining the ecological balance of the area.

For white-hoofed pigs with rough skin and thick flesh, it is difficult for ordinary carnivores to limit their reproduction speed.

Because they are not those feeble-minded herbivores who just run away without daring to fight back against their enemies.

Adult white-hoofed pigs are so wild that they even dare to attack large monsters such as tigers and leopards that break into their field of vision.

It is precisely because the white-hoofed pig is not one of those mentally retarded herbivores that just run away when it sees a carnivore, so the Griffin Mountain Range gave birth to the top large predator, the griffin beast.

The huge size of the griffons allows them to ignore the white-hoofed pig's counterattack.

Their outstanding flying ability can lock the position of the white-hoofed pig from a distance, thereby launching a fatal dive attack on the white-hoofed pig.

Their excellent appetite perfectly suppresses the terrifying reproductive ability of the white-hoofed pigs.

Because not every place in the Griffon Mountains is a dense forest, once the population of white-hoofed pigs becomes too large, they will have to risk leaving the safety of the dense forest to look for food outside.

At this time, some of the white-hoofed pigs will become the prey of the griffins, and eventually become the food in the belly of the griffins.

As the top predators in the Griffin Mountains, the smart griffins also know what scientific hunting is.

When out hunting, they will try their best to avoid hunting underage individuals and pregnant females.

In this way, the number of griffins and white-hoofed pigs in the Griffin Mountains has been maintained in a relatively balanced state.

It is also because there is an inexhaustible supply of white-hoofed pigs in the Griffin Mountains, so the Griffin beasts can freely thrive there.

On this side of the earth, most of China's geographical locations are in the northern temperate zone. If you want to raise griffins here, in addition to vigorously developing animal husbandry, you must also organize large-scale breeding. valley

If you want to develop animal husbandry, you need a large area of ​​pasture. If you want to develop aquaculture, in addition to a certain amount of land, you must also have sufficient sources of feed.

Breeding industry can complement ordinary agriculture, but animal husbandry has a great conflict with ordinary agriculture, because both require a large amount of high-quality land.

I think back then, in order to raise griffons, some major guilds in the Northern Expedition Alliance not only started large-scale poultry and livestock breeding, but also reluctantly built some high-quality land into pastures, and even planted large-scale pasture in some fields.

Even so, they still purchase a large amount of various meats from other places every year. As long as the griffins can eat it, regardless of whether it is beef, mutton or fish, as long as the other party is willing to sell it, they will not refuse it.

However, even if they have achieved this level, the number of gryphon beasts has not been able to increase quickly.

The root cause is still not enough food.

It's not that they didn't work hard enough, it's that the gryphon beast is too edible.

The number of griffons in their territory has reached saturation. If it continues to increase, they will not be able to provide enough food for the griffins.

So in the end, the number of gryphons in their hands was limited to a critical point.

And when Ningyuan's Divine Eagle Empire defeated them and occupied their land, all the original production on the land was severely damaged.

Even the logistical supplies for the Condor Empire soldiers in the frontline areas have become a big problem, not to mention providing enough meat for the griffons.

So even though Ning Yuan had always wanted the Griffin Beast Legion to participate in the war in China, he finally chose to give up in the face of the cruel reality.

Because as a modern human being with higher education, Ning Yuan could not let the griffon eat the corpses of enemies on the battlefield.

Except for the ancient war tree that can purify corpses, no Warcraft Legion of the Condor Empire can use human corpses as food. This is Ning Yuan's bottom line.

Ning Yuan would rather never use the Griffin Beast Legion than break through this bottom line.

Therefore, in the end, the powerful Griffin Beast Legion did not appear on the battlefield of the Condor Empire's campaign against China.

Although Ning Yuan still has a bottom line as a human being, the feeling of having a treasure but being unable to use it is not very beautiful.

Therefore, in order to allow the griffin beast army to successfully debut in the next foreign war, Ning Yuan immediately put the national white-hoofed pig breeding agenda on the agenda after unifying the entire China.

In Ning Yuan's view, if the white-hoofed fragrant pig, a monster that reproduces quickly, grows quickly, is not picky about food, has delicious meat, has high meat production, and can also produce earth-based magic crystals, cannot be taken as a priority. Breeding objects is definitely a waste of natural resources.

So after carefully analyzing the geographical and climatic environment of various places in China, he planned several important white-hoofed pig breeding areas.

The first important breeding area is the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

Although the arable land area on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is extremely limited, the climate there is very suitable for plant production, especially in Yunnan, where plants can grow all year round.

For white-hoofed pigs who are not picky about their food, the Yunnan region, which has a subtropical plateau monsoon climate, is very suitable for the reproduction of their population.

As the southwest border area of ​​China, Yunnan borders a large area with Myanmar, Laos and other countries. For Ningyuan, which has always wanted to get involved in the Indochina Peninsula, its strategic position is very important.

Therefore, in order to attack countries on the Indochina Peninsula such as Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand in the future, Ningyuan plans to make Yunnan a military base where the Griffin Legion can be stationed for a long time.

For this reason, he not only called on the lower orcs in Yunnan to raise white-hoofed pigs in every household, he also released a large number of adult white-hoofed pigs into the wild, and listed the wild white-hoofed pigs on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau as part of the Condor Empire. Class III protected animals.

Except for foraging griffons, which are free to hunt white-hoofed pigs in the wild, no one in the Condor Empire can take the initiative to hunt wild white-hoofed pigs except under special circumstances.

If white-hoofed pigs destroy crops, the people whose crops were damaged can immediately report the damage, and then the Condor Empire will come forward to provide adequate compensation.

Ning Yuan had only one purpose in doing this, which was to rapidly expand the population of white-hoofed fragrant pigs in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and then expand to the Indochina Peninsula ahead of the Condor Empire's army.

I believe that given the ability of white-hoofed pigs to adapt to the environment, as long as they are given enough time, their footprints will soon spread throughout the Indochina Peninsula.

By then, the Griffin Beast Legion of the Condor Empire will no longer have to leave the Griffin Mountains due to food problems.

In addition to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Ningyuan has also designated all mountainous areas south of the Yangtze River as important breeding areas for white-hoofed fragrant pigs.

Of course, there, the white-hoofed pig is no longer a third-level protected animal, and people can kill it in a planned manner based on the local population of white-hoofed pigs.

After deciding to replace the local wild boar population with the white-hoofed pig population, Ningyuan also asked all people in the Condor Empire who wanted to raise pigs to raise white-hoofed pigs.

He wants to spread the adaptable white-hoofed pigs to every corner of the Condor Empire, so that the people of the Condor Empire can have enough pork to eat, and so that the other warcraft legions of the Condor Empire can often go to war.

As a kind of pig monster, the wild population of white-hoofed pigs entering the land of China is actually a kind of biological invasion.

Because their adaptability and combat effectiveness are stronger than ordinary pigs, their growth rate is faster than that of local wild boars in China.

Therefore, when Ningyuan releases a large number of wild white-hoofed pigs throughout the entire Huaxia region, it won't take long for them to replace other wild boars and become the overlord of the pig race on the land of China.

And this is what Ning Yuan wants to see the most, because he needs a lot of pork.

In addition to letting white-hoofed pigs invade China, Ningyuan also did several other things related to biological invasion.

The first thing was that Ningyuan sent people to transport several large ships of Asian carp to North America, and then spent a lot of money to hire people to put those Asian carp into some large local rivers.

The second incident was that Ningyuan had people capture 50,000 hares, and then transported all the hares to Australia for release.

The third thing is that people from Ningyuan secretly transported a large number of wild hairy crabs to Europe and successfully put them into some rivers and lakes in Europe.

These three animals are delicacies on people's tables in China, but they are lawless beasts in North America, Australia and Europe, because the locals don't like to eat them at all.

When humans, their biggest natural enemy, were indifferent to them, they really let themselves go as they had no natural enemies in the area.

As long as things go well, within a few years, biological invasions that occurred in the real world are likely to be reproduced in the game world.

Foreign players don't eat them, but they are delicacies on the table for Chinese players.

So once they successfully invade, when Chinese players go to those places in the future, they will no longer have to worry about logistics, because the places are full of delicious food.
