The strongest production soldier, awarded first-class merit for feeding pigs.

With the company officers having given the green light, Chen Jun stopped wasting time and immediately got to work.

As the saying goes:

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

Before all the equipment and chicks, ducks and piglets are brought in, the site must be completely prepared and all the food, water and supplies must be ready.

It definitely uses various machines and equipment, as well as feed for piglets and chicks.

Chen Jun has expert-level experience in his mind. Even though he had never fed pigs before and was completely unfamiliar with this field, he now understands it all.

This means he can handle everything by himself.

However.

I once thought that I was only nineteen years old, and if I acted too mature in these aspects, it would seem a bit too outrageous.

Therefore, Chen Jun decided to keep a low profile and make his performance less dazzling.

The solution was not complicated: we called the squad leader, deputy squad leader, and quartermaster together to discuss the details in a brainstorming session.

Chen Jun first wrote down the standards for the scale of the upcoming expansion on a piece of paper as a reference.

Based on the standard required for the system to generate treasure chests, plus 10% as a redundancy, even if some die, treasure chests can still be generated eventually.

Listed according to this standard:

If we raise another 110 chickens and 110 ducks, along with the dozens of chickens and ducks that the production team already has, it will be enough to guarantee that we can get two treasure chests in six months.

There are 55 geese to raise, plus 5 more from the production team, for a total of 60 geese.

As for pigs, add another twenty-five, making a total of thirty with the existing ones.

After securing these four treasure chests, add another 100 jin of fish fry to the fishpond outside.

The system stipulates that you need 1,000 catties of fish to get the Black Iron Treasure Chest. Neither the production team leader nor the deputy leader knows how many fish are in the fishpond outside.

Because the fish are all free-range, apart from losing some fish when we first opened the fishpond, sometimes when we go out into the mountains and see a small stream, we catch some fish and throw them back into the fishpond.

Fish feed is something I do casually; I just cut some when I see it while I'm out gathering pig feed, and I don't go out specifically to cut fish feed.

I've never specifically thrown fish fry into it, nor have I ever bought fish food to put in.

The fish in the fishpond are all essentially wild.

The main purpose of the fishpond is for recreation. When the officers of the company have free time, they come here to cast their lines. If they catch something, the cooks will make an extra meal for them.

Chen Jun decided to release 100 jin of fish fry into the fishpond. Even if only half of them survived, it would still be enough to reach 1,000 jin.

The fry grow from the size of a fingertip to two or three pounds, their weight increasing at least dozens of times. A fry weighing fifty pounds can easily grow into a 1,000-pound fish.

This is the first time we've expanded our scale, and we still lack experience in all aspects. We also need to purchase various equipment and materials, which will require a lot of effort.

Chen Jun decided to start with five categories: chicken, duck, fish, goose, and pork, which he felt was enough to limit the options.

After all, there are only three people in the production team.

No matter how much equipment and machinery you buy, you still need people to operate them.

If the initial expansion is too reckless, with the sole aim of achieving great things overnight, the entire operation may collapse, resulting in nothing.

Only by successfully nurturing and maturing this first batch can the company cadres have more confidence in the production team, and even regard the production team as the core of the company.

At that time, Chen Jun will be able to continue to expand the scale and strive to acquire more silver, or even gold treasure chests.

As for the problem of insufficient manpower...

That will be easily solved when the time comes.

The production team's breeding business was thriving. Once it gained recognition and commendation from the regiment or even the division, Chen Jun asked the production team to add one or two more people, and the company cadres would definitely agree without hesitation.

Even though the relevant regulations in the military state that a production team cannot have more than three people.

Even the headquarters can easily solve the problem.

At that time, the regular shifts will take turns sending people on official business. Each platoon will send three people to the production shift every day to do official business, and then they will go back to participate in training after finishing their work.

The problem of insufficient manpower is no longer a problem.

These are all Chen Jun's future plans, and he certainly won't reveal them to everyone now. The most urgent task is to support the entities outlined in these plans.

Liu Dazhi and Zhang Lianwen are the backbone of the production team, and they basically know how much feed the livestock needs each day.

Based on the increased quantity after Chen Jun expanded the scale, the two of them took out paper and pen and made accurate calculations on the paper in their own way.

Zhang Lianwen has a low level of education, having only graduated from junior high school.

Therefore, he didn't use too many complicated formulas, but rather the calculation method he was most familiar with and most reliable, to estimate how much feed was needed to raise these animals.

Five pigs need to be fed twice a day, with each meal requiring two large buckets of pig feed. What are the proportions of green fodder and cornmeal feed?

The amount of feed the chickens and ducks in the company need each day is calculated by dividing the number of birds by the number of birds, and then multiplying by the number of birds that need to be fed after the scale is expanded...

After a series of calculations, he finally determined the amount of feed needed each day.

Squad leader Liu Dazhi was a bit smarter; he simply took out his phone, opened a certain app and a certain app store, and input the numbers to let the AI ​​calculate it itself.

This speed is indeed much faster, but the calculated answer seems quite unreliable.

The two AI software programs gave almost half the answers for the daily usage required, and it's a bit of a headache to figure out which one is true.

Seeing that AI was unreliable, Liu Dazhi had no choice but to revert to his old methods.

Like Zhang Lianwen, he calculated them one by one.

While the two of them were calculating, Chen Jun was also busy.

He claimed that he had looked up relevant data online, and used this data as a basis to calculate an answer based on his own expert-level breeding experience. He then wrote it down on paper for comparison.

When the three answers were compared together, it was found that the differences between them were very small.

Liu Dazhi's result was slightly too high, Zhang Lianwen's result was slightly too low, and Chen Jun's result was exactly between the two.

Given this situation.

Chen Jun naturally and naturally set his own answer as the standard.

Then, using his calculations as the standard, the squad leader and quartermaster were tasked with contacting the town's business owners to negotiate the supply prices and schedules for the coming days.

Feeding pigs requires roughage such as corn and wheat bran, as well as mineral feed and additives, all of which need to be purchased from outside, as the production team cannot produce them themselves.

The only thing the company could produce was green fodder, which consisted of radishes, cabbages, and bok choy grown in the vegetable garden.

To raise pigs to be fat, strong, and healthy, they must be fed a combination of green fodder and roughage, supplemented with swill from the cooks.

Feeding your child a balanced diet is the most scientific and reasonable approach.
