Chapter 439, Interstellar Farmer

While the powerful civilizations in the Milky Way were fighting fiercely for the North-South War, the Empire had a rare peaceful time, and vigorous construction was carried out on the entire sub-spiral arm.

The Purple Moon Galaxy was renamed by the people of the Empire after it was incorporated into the Empire's rule. As for the original name, it had long disappeared with the original civilization.

The origin of the Purple Moon Galaxy is because of the life planet Purple Moon Star in this galaxy. Purple Moon Star, a top life planet as large as Jiuzhou Star, has a land area of ​​1.2 billion square kilometers and an ocean area of ​​1.5 billion square kilometers. Such a large planet is relatively rare in the entire sub-spiral arm.

Purple Moon Star is huge in size and mass, but because its own rotation speed is not very fast, its gravity is only slightly greater than that of the earth.

Purple Moon Star has 3 satellites, and each satellite looks purple at night, so Purple Moon Star is named for this reason.

In the outer space of Ziyue Star, there is a space port that was built not long ago. There are sparse spaceships parked in the space. Moreover, this space port is just an ordinary medium-sized space port, and the parked spaceships are all small spaceships.

Everything seems very empty and leisurely, whether it is the mechanical arm that is loading and unloading the spacecraft slowly or the leisurely imperial citizens in the space port, everything tells everyone that time passes very slowly here.

Although Ziyue Star is a top life planet, there are not many imperial immigrants here. The number of imperial citizens who have migrated here from the hinterland of the empire has just exceeded one million. For such a huge Ziyue Star, it is far from being sparsely populated.

There is no way. The Empire now owns the entire sub-spiral arm, but its own population is too sparse, and now it is spreading all over the sub-spiral arm. It is already very good for Ziyue Star to have a million immigrants. This is because Ziyue Star has a vast land area, so there are millions of immigrants. If it is an ordinary planet, if it is not a transportation hub, there are generally only about 100,000 immigrants, and some even have only tens of thousands of immigrants.

In order to encourage the citizens of the Empire to emigrate abroad, the Empire's immigration law has also been revised. The land that immigrants can be rewarded with is very generous, ten times that of the past. If a family or family has a larger population, it can be allocated a large piece of very vast land.

Because the land is vast and the population is sparse, the people of the Empire often have a headache about how to develop their own land. Even some special companies have been born in the Empire to serve this purpose. Most of the people of the Empire generally choose to be farmers.

The private land is vast enough, and it is a very good choice for both grazing and planting. If you are engaged in planting, you can buy some large fully automated agricultural machinery, and one person can easily complete the planting of a large piece of land; animal husbandry is even simpler. Basically, the imperial ranchers choose to graze in a very extensive way, because the land is too large and they can graze anywhere.

Ding Haicheng is a farmer on Ziyue Star. He has 6 children, plus a couple, a total of 8 people. After immigrating to Ziyue Star, he obtained 8,000 square kilometers of land. What is the concept of 8,000 square kilometers of land? In the Earth era, the general city in China is about this size, and this city does not only refer to the urban area, but the entire city, including the area of ​​mountainous areas, etc.

Such a huge land belongs to Ding Haicheng's family, and because Ding Haicheng is the first imperial citizen who chose to immigrate to Ziyue Star, he has the right to choose the land first. The land he chooses is also the very famous black soil plain area on Ziyue Star. The natural conditions are very superior and very suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry.

"The price of rice and wheat has dropped again. If it continues like this, there won't be much money to be made after working all year. The empire has expanded too fast. There are farmers on every planet. The prices of food, meat, etc. have dropped again and again."

In the space port of Ziyue Star, Ding Haicheng just sold the rice and wheat harvested from his land, but the price made him very dissatisfied. A ton of top-grade rice produced by Ziyue Star is only sold for 10 yuan. Although the currency of the empire has always been strong, the price is getting lower and lower.

"It seems that we need to find a way to transform. There is no future in growing rice and wheat. We need to grow something special, or raise some rare animals. I heard that ginseng, snow ginseng, blood ginseng, etc. are grown wild on Changbai Mountain, making those farmers rich."

Ding Haicheng was thinking about the transformation issue in his mind. The price of traditional crops is already very low, and there is little profit margin because there are too many people growing them. On the new immigrant planets, the people of the empire will not leave their land unmanaged. If they spend some time, they can produce a large amount of rice, wheat, etc.

Although Ding Haicheng is a farmer, this is just his sideline. His main job is a biological scientist. Like most people in the empire, after immigration, looking at the large tracts of land, he naturally couldn't bear to sit idle. He had to plant something. This seems to be an idea and spirit in the bones of the Chinese nation.

"Well, go back and get to know your land well, find some high-value crops or animals, rice and wheat, and don't plant them."

With an idea in mind, Ding Haicheng drove his spaceship to the space port immediately and flew towards Ziyue Star. The spaceship flew into the vast Ziyue Star like a diving duck.

In the northern hemisphere of Ziyue Star, Ding Haicheng's spaceship landed very slowly on his farm. There is only one city on Ziyue Star, Ziyue City. Most of the people on Ziyue Star live in Ziyue City, but every household has built villas, villas, farms and the like on their own land.

Normally, they live in Ziyue City. After all, people live in groups. In addition, for the sake of their children's education and safety, most people on Ziyue Star will choose to live in their own villas, mountain villas, farms, etc. on weekends or in their spare time to take care of their farms.

"Woof! Woof!"

As soon as Ding Haicheng got out of the spaceship, a group of tall and mighty tiger mastiffs rushed up, wagging their tails like they were having fun. More than 20 tiger mastiffs with their families seemed very excited.

"Stand at attention!"

Seeing these tiger mastiffs, Ding Haicheng seemed very happy. He liked dogs very much, so he also raised some tiger mastiffs on his farm. These tiger mastiffs were a hybrid of the Tibetan mastiffs on Earth and the dog-like animals on alien planets. They looked tall and mighty, and were also very fierce. Even when encountering wild beasts, they had the fearless spirit of the flat-headed brother, and were extremely loyal to their owners. Many farmers liked to raise some tiger mastiffs, whether they were used to guard the house or as hunting dogs, etc., they were all very good choices.

Hearing Ding Haicheng's words, more than 20 tiger mastiffs almost had a conditioned reaction, and immediately squatted side by side very respectfully. These tiger mastiffs were all trained by Ding Haicheng himself according to the teaching materials, which was considered a hobby of the business.

"Roll over!"

Ding Haicheng nodded with satisfaction, took out some dried meat, and issued another order. Suddenly, more than 20 tiger mastiffs began to roll on the ground. They were very obedient. After teasing the tiger mastiffs for a while, Ding Haicheng also began to get busy.

The entire huge farm, with a vast area of ​​land, all relies on various monitoring and automated equipment to maintain operation. Many times, these things have to be maintained and repaired.

"The Fire Cloud Cattle raised in Linghu are gone. Oh, it turned out that they ran to Jinqiu River. Well, the number seems to have decreased. Could it be that they were targeted by some beasts again?"

Ding Haicheng looked at the surveillance video and looked for his most precious Fire Cloud Cattle. This Fire Cloud Cattle is a very precious breed. The hair on its body is like a fire cloud. It is one of the top beef breeds. Ding Haicheng also raised some on his own land. Such free-range Fire Cloud Cattle are very popular in the empire and can be sold at a very good price.

Ding Haicheng spent a lot of money to monitor his entire land for this batch of Huoyun cattle. I don't know how many monitors were released, so he can accurately grasp the number and location of the Huoyun cattle.

The advantage of natural grazing in the wild is that there is no need to manage anything, and there is no need to worry about it at all. The disadvantage is that these cattle will be less from time to time. There are many kinds of beasts on the vast land.

"Last time, the two black panthers were chased away. This time, it seems that they were targeted by some beasts again, and the number should be quite large. More than ten heads were lost at once. Well, it seems that I have to go and take a look."

Ding Haicheng touched his chin. There are many beasts on Ziyue Star. Some time ago, his cattle were targeted by two black panthers. They ate one a day, so Ding Haicheng had to go out in person to chase the two black panthers away. If the loss is not too much, Ding Haicheng usually doesn't bother to care.

Ding Haicheng took out guns and ammunition. These guns and ammunition were divided into many varieties, some were live ammunition, some were tranquilizer bullets, and some were electric guns. As interstellar immigration was in full swing, the empire had long allowed citizens to carry guns privately for the safety of citizens.

"You bastards, get on the spaceship."

Carrying guns and ammunition and a group of tiger mastiffs, Ding Haicheng drove the spaceship towards his Fire Cloud Cattle.
