1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 190 Zhang Zhenhua was shocked by the chicken coop!

Chapter 190 Zhang Zhenhua was shocked by the chicken coop!
As the truck rolled over the icy cinder road, the tail of the truck kicked up slush mixed with the smell of chicken manure.

After entering the chicken farm, no matter how clean it is, the air is still filled with the unique smell of chicken manure.

He couldn't smell it after staying in the field for a long time, but when he went out and came back, Su Wenchen felt the smell was particularly clear.

But there is no way to avoid this. It would be a problem if there was no smell of chicken manure in the chicken farm!
After getting off the car, Su Wenchen looked up at the setting sun in the west that looked like salted egg yolk, and checked his watch. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Comrade Zhenhua, you said in the car earlier that you wanted to visit the chicken coop. It's getting late now, so I'll have someone take you to the dormitory first!"

"When we get to work tomorrow, I'll introduce you to the other comrades in the team and see how you feel about assigning you a job."

After hearing what Su Wenchen said, Zhang Zhenhua immediately refused.

"Captain, just have someone pick a dormitory for me. As long as I won't freeze to death, it'll be fine."

"I still hope to visit our chicken house and learn about the operation of our chicken farm."

After all, he came here with a mission.

Naturally, he didn't want to spend time worrying about such a trivial matter as accommodation, and he didn't think Su Wenchen could arrange a house for him where he would freeze to death.

For him, if the information about the chicken farm was false, he would not have to stay there for a few days and could just reveal the information to his superiors.

if it is real.

He didn't even care about where to live. He was willing to live in a chicken coop for 24 hours. This way, he could fully learn the essence.

Listening to Zhang Zhenhua's words, Su Wenchen curled the corners of his mouth.

You fucking don't want to get off work, but I do.

For Su Wenchen, he works hard at work and enjoys life after work, working when he should and playing when he should.

He is unwilling to work overtime unless it is necessary.

However, seeing the other party's serious look, Su Wenchen felt that an hour was about enough to take the other party around the chicken coop.

As for the dormitory, since you are unwilling to clean it yourself, you will be the one who suffers.

But he also further confirmed that this guy was really a workaholic.

Seeing the other party's persistence in going to the chicken coop.

Su Wenchen could only point to the red brick house in the distance that was emitting steam: "Those places with steam are where the chicken coops are. Because the chicken coops need to be kept warm in winter, the boilers are basically burning all day long."

"Come on! I'll show you around!"

After hearing Su Wenchen's words, Zhang Zhenhua immediately followed.

Lifting aside the several layers of thick straw mats hanging on the side of the chicken coop, Su Wenchen just pushed open the side door of the chicken coop when a wave of hot air suddenly hit him in the face.

A worker in the side room, who was wearing a light blue work uniform, immediately stood up and spoke when he saw Su Wenchen.

"Director!"

Feeling the warmth in the room, Su Wenchen took off his thick cotton coat and pointed directly at Zhang Zhenhua who came in from behind.

"This is the new deputy director of the farm, Comrade Zhang Zhenhua. I'll bring him here to have a look. You just take care of your own business."

Hearing Su Wenchen say this, the employee immediately said to Zhang Zhenhua.

"Hello, Deputy Director Zhang!"

"Hello there!"

Zhang Zhenhua felt the huge temperature difference from the outside, and watched curiously as Su Wenchen not only took off his clothes in the house, but also took off his shoes and changed into a new pair of cloth shoes.

And pour hot water into the empty enamel basin next to it.

Su Wenchen saw the other person's eyes and explained directly.

"Take off your coat, it's even hotter inside!"

"In our chicken coop, we have to wash our hands and change our shoes when we enter. In fact, if conditions do not allow it, it is best to change clothes or wear a layer of isolation clothes."

“Try not to bring any germs from outside into the chicken house.”

After hearing Su Wenchen's explanation, Zhang Zhenhua didn't expect that Lanshui had actually gone to this extent.

When you enter, you not only have to wash your hands, but also take off your clothes and change your shoes.

It’s no wonder that the disease rate of other people’s chickens is relatively low, as many viruses have been isolated outside as much as possible.

Following Su Wenchen's example, he put on light cloth shoes, washed his hands, and rubbed the dust off his face with hot water.

Then he watched Su Wenchen write their names in a notebook.

After opening the door leading to the chicken coop from the side room, Zhang Zhenhua asked curiously.

"Captain, you just came in and you still need to register?"

Su Wenchen nodded.

"Rules! Once they are set, they must be followed. Otherwise, if you set a precedent, others will follow suit."

"Except for the on-duty workers and leaders, no one else is allowed to enter the chicken house."

"The man just now was on duty in the side room!"

"One is to reduce contact with the outside world, which can reduce the introduction of bacteria, and the other is to maintain the indoor temperature."

"If you let the chickens come in and out carelessly, not only will the temperature change, but it will also make the chickens more susceptible to other diseases."

After hearing Su Wenchen's explanation, Zhang Zhenhua nodded seriously.

He immediately took out a notebook from his pocket and wrote it down with the pen on his chest.

At this moment, I also felt that the Blue Water Field really had leading technology, because if they were to cheat and do things perfunctorily, they would never be able to achieve this level.

Even in the animal husbandry department of the farm where he used to work, employees were running around in the chicken coop and the pig pen.

We smoke and chat whenever we have time.

As for hygiene? Bacteria? It seems that no one has ever cared about it.

As for the chickens getting sick, that is the concern of the veterinary technicians in the technical department and has nothing to do with the breeders.

As the two men were talking, they walked into the chicken coop, and the light suddenly became brighter.

Because every one meter, there is an industrial light bulb emitting bright light.

The brightness is much brighter than the small wattage bulbs used at home at this time.

Looking at the clean cement floor, the faint ammonia smell of chicken manure mixed with the smell of feed in the air hits you in the face.

There are also rows of neatly arranged chicken coops in a stepped manner.

The sound of chickens clucking constantly rang in my ears.

It may sound noisy to some people, but it is very pleasant to Zhang Zhenhua's ears.

Because this means that every hen is in an active period.

These are all egg producers.

"Manager, why is the smell of chicken manure so light in your chicken coop?"

"Besides, why are so many lights on during the day? Isn't this a waste of electricity?"

"Also, I see there are only a dozen people in a chicken coop. Can they take charge?"

Su Wenchen felt a headache when he heard Zhang Zhenhua, who was as curious as a baby. He looked around and happened to see Hou Guozhong, who was lying under a chicken coop in work clothes, studying a semi-finished automatic manure conveyor.

said immediately.

"Let's go. Master Hou happens to be in this dormitory too. I'll introduce him to you! He's a veteran who has been with us since we built the farm. If you have any questions, just ask him."

As he said this, he planned to hand the other party over to Hou Guozhong. And judging from their temperaments, both of them were rather serious and stubborn.

There should be a common language.

Su Wenchen didn't plan to take the other party for a long time. After all, judging from the other party's interest, there was no telling how many questions he would have later.

I'm afraid that by that time I'll have to stay with the other person until the boiler stops firing and I won't be able to finish the conversation.

When Zhang Zhenhua heard Su Wenchen say this, he didn't know what to say.

After all, he is the director.

I could only follow Su Wenchen all the way.

Because the chickens in the chicken coop kept clucking, Su Wenchen shouted a few times at first, but Hou Guozhong didn't hear anything at all.

Su Wenchen had no choice but to raise his voice and shout.

"Master Hou!"

In an instant, the huge sound drowned out the chickens that were communicating.

After hearing Su Wenchen's words, Hou Guozhong crawled out from the gap in the chicken coop, with a few chicken feathers on his head and the knees of his work pants covered with chicken manure.

After seeing Su Wenchen, Hou Guozhong immediately showed an excited expression, and started talking before Su Wenchen introduced himself.

"Director, you've come at the right time. Our technical department has almost figured out how to use the automatic manure conveyor you mentioned earlier."

"But it may be a long way to go before we can achieve the automatic operation and automatic manure removal you mentioned. But for now, we only need to deploy one under a row of chicken coops."

"I'll show you how to do it!"

As he said this, he walked impatiently to the front of the machine and pressed the red button.

"Crack!"

The gears below started to turn immediately, driving the conveyor belt above to move.

Su Wenchen walked along the conveyor belt all the way to the front.

At this time, there is a scraper above the end of the conveyor belt, which will directly scrape off the chicken manure that falls on the chicken manure conveyor belt.

As for the chicken manure scraped off, it still needs to be handled manually.

It is still a long way to go before we can achieve automatic cleaning and automatic transportation with intelligent control in the future.

Obviously, this can only be considered semi-automatic, and at most it saves the effort of carrying manure trays and cleaning chicken manure.

In this era when labor costs are not that high, it is definitely not cost-effective.

After all, they had already spent several thousand dollars on materials just to develop this semi-finished product.

If this were done manually, we could hire as many people as we wanted to clean up the chicken manure.

However, this kind of thing cannot be calculated in this way. It requires gradual research and development to have a future. It is impossible to get rich overnight.

Some things require continuous investment to see results.

Therefore, even if it seems to be a loss now, we still have to continue to invest. And since Su Wenchen knows the future development direction, he will spare no effort to invest.

And it wasn't his own money that was spent.

Although it was still far from what Su Wenchen wanted, he still nodded encouragingly.

"That's right, Master Hou. I didn't expect that your technical department would have such a good start on the first day after the Chinese New Year."

"How about this! When you report the people to us later, the venue management will arrange material rewards for you in stages."

"I will also notify the radio station. I hope your technical department will keep up the good work!"

"I hope it's your technical department that's broadcasting next time!"

"But I think you need to separate the technical department into a veterinary department and a mechanical department, and separate veterinary medicine and equipment research and development."

"Those who like veterinary medicine should study veterinary knowledge, and those who like mechanics should study this kind of machinery, otherwise it would be a waste of talent."

Hearing Su Wenchen's words.

Hou Guozhong nodded excitedly, a feeling of gratitude for being recognized filling his whole body.

"Director, you are right. I will arrange it when I get back."

"Come, let me introduce you to the new deputy director of the field, Comrade Zhang Zhenhua."

"Comrade Zhenhua, this is Hou Guozhong from the Technical Department!"

"Comrade Zhenhua?"

At this time, Zhang Zhenhua had already finished immersing himself in the movement of the feces conveyor belt.

He didn't expect that Blue Water Farm had already begun researching equipment for mechanically assisted chicken farming.

Although the structure of this thing in front of us is extremely simple, even a slightly more powerful machinery factory can produce equipment that is much more advanced than this.

But no one has ever put effort into this area before.

It seems that raising chickens is just a matter of following the traditional way and feeding them normally.

It is now obvious that Blue Water Field has gone down another path.

Use machinery to replace manual labor, or reduce manual labor.

Although he didn't know whether it would be useful or not, he was indeed a little shocked by the other party's spirit of exploration.

No wonder a new technology has been developed here. The leaders of the field attach great importance to it. Not only do they give material rewards, but they also broadcast it on the field.

How could the people below be like them?

He could even imagine what would happen if the chicken farm reported this under the animal husbandry department of his farm.

Never mind the rewards.

It’s good enough if I don’t get scolded.

Only after hearing Su Wenchen calling him several times did he come to his senses.

"Excuse me, Director. Hello, Section Chief Hou!"

"I was just thinking about your equipment. I think the baffle for scraping chicken manure should be placed in this place."

As he said that, he pulled Hou Guozhong to squat in front of the machine to discuss.

Seeing this, Su Wenchen was happy to save his breath.

Looked at the watch.

"Please keep an eye on the time! It's almost time to get off work!"

He said without paying any attention to the two of them.
