Chapter 48
Sitting on the starship, Su Chaoliu and Su Chaoqi both looked very excited.
It was their first time to play on an asteroid other than the affiliated planet, so they were looking forward to it.
Qiao Zhiyan paid for the travel expenses. This was considered an official business trip, so they didn't want to go if they had to pay for it themselves.
Qiao Zhiyan arrived on the asteroid before them to make preparations. After all, the B&B has been closed for a while. Even if there is a housekeeping robot, someone must keep an eye on it to avoid any sanitary blind spots.
When they got off the bus at the station, Qiao Zhiyan flew the aircraft to pick them up and took them to his B&B.
Su Chaoqi looked at the scenery outside the house and asked curiously: "Whose asteroid belongs to it?"
Qiao Zhiyan thought for a while and replied: "Longke Group."
Oh, this is also a large comprehensive group, and there are probably several asteroids like this under its name.
Su Chaoqi nodded. According to the data, this asteroid was a little smaller than the planet affiliated with the First Military Academy, but not much smaller. It was divided into pieces and rented out.
Some people rent it and use it to build factories, some people use it to build tourist attractions, or use it as their own back garden. In short, as long as it does not violate the regulations, you can build whatever you want.
Su Chaoliu asked: "I heard that the land of Longke Group is not easy to rent?"
Qiao Zhiyan also replied with some pride: "It's not easy to rent. My house was rented from the beginning. Even if I don't sublet it completely now, I can still make a lot of money back."
It's just that their family was reluctant, thinking that they could save their business, so they were reluctant to close the B&B.
Arriving at the main entrance of Qiao Zhiyan's B&B, the two sisters got out of the car and looked at the building in front of them.
This is the place to stay. There is nothing interesting to see. Once you enter the door, you will find the front desk. After registering here, you can have your own temporary house.
Everyone can have a small independent house, which is spacious, bright and comfortable.
Su Chaoliu and Su Chaoqi randomly picked a house in the courtyard to live in. It was a double-story building with a living room and entertainment room below, and a bedroom and bathroom above.
The two checked the room hygiene and came out after making sure it was clean.
Su Chaoliu and Su Chaoqi chatted: "If you want to have a barbecue, you still need an open space."
"Yes," Su Chaoqi agreed, "ask the seniors where there is a more suitable place, and also see where it is suitable to raise rabbits."
“Are rabbits bred in captivity or free-range?”
"decide as things go."
When Qiao Zhiyan heard that they wanted an open space, he thought for a moment and took them to the back door.
The front yard is an apron, used to park aircraft. The back yard is temporarily empty, oh, not empty. It was originally used as an open-air cinema and a holographic three-dimensional game field.
Su Chaoqi asked Qiao Zhiyan: "Which project do you think can be eliminated?"
Qiao Zhiyan hesitated between the two projects, not knowing which one to choose.
Su Chaoliu said: "Get rid of the game arcade. You can play in the arcade anywhere, so why build one here."
The key is that open-air cinemas and barbecues do not conflict. You can watch a movie while having a barbecue.
Qiao Zhiyan looked at Su Chaoqi silently, obviously asking what she meant.
Su Chaoqi felt that Su Chaoliu's words made sense, so he nodded: "Ah Liu is right, the game field is a bit redundant."
However, the equipment in the game arcade is more expensive than the equipment in the theater. It is a pity to put it away and gather dust, so it can only be sold second hand.
Qiao Zhiyan sighed: "Okay, I'll note it down."
The game field was removed and the open-air cinema and barbecue area were combined into one. The space instantly became larger and required redesign and planning.
But that's Qiao Zhiyan's business. Robots are still needed to remove the playground, and manpower cannot move the equipment.
After choosing a good location, it depends on how to raise rabbits. Su Chaoqi's suggestion is to raise rabbits in a free range. Just circle a large enough land, pull up the fence, catch a few male rabbits and female rabbits and put them in.
As for which piece of land to circle, Qiao Zhiyan would take them to see it.
In fact, I just take them to play.
Qiao Zhiyan's B&B is actually a tour. They have set up a special line for sightseeing, sitting in the aircraft to enjoy the scenery and communicate closely with nature.
There was no dedicated driver, so Qiao Zhiyan had to drive.
This tourist route is to visit the canyon, there is no danger, just enjoy the beautiful scenery. Qiao Zhiyan set the autopilot and let the aircraft drive slowly.
Su Chaoliu and Su Chaoqi occupied one side of the window and looked out.
The scenery of this canyon is naturally beautiful. Although the mountains are not high, the vegetation is lush. The waterfalls fall vertically and are powerful. There are also small animals such as apes and birds looming in the forest. The air is fresh and mixed with water vapor, which is exceptionally cool. .
The scenery is beautiful, but it’s also boring.
Even if interstellar people have a temporary interest in the natural beauty, this interest will not last long.
"I heard that there is a B&B on the planet next door," Qiao Zhiyan said about the competitor. "They use instruments to release sound wave frequencies to attract alien beasts, and then let the supernatural warriors lock up the alien beasts and starve them for a few days. Release them to kill."
This method made both Su Chaoliu and Su Chaoqi frown: "This is too cruel." Qiao Zhiyan said helplessly: "But many people like to watch it."
However, the performance at that B&B was restricted to adults only, and minors could not buy tickets.
Su Chaoqi said to Qiao Zhiyan: "The main target of your B&B is a family. Barbecue can promote communication between parents and children."
Qiao Zhiyan nodded thoughtfully.
Su Chaoqi looked down at the water for a while and could see fish swimming in the water.
Su Chaoliu also lowered his head to look, and swallowed his saliva after half the meal: "Actually, grilled fish is also delicious."
Well, indeed, in addition to roasted rabbit, they can also add grilled fish to the menu.
Su Chaoqi thought about it and suggested, "What about adding a fishing project?"
But people nowadays don’t seem to like fishing very much, mainly because they don’t have the culture. At most, it can only be regarded as an add-on project and cannot become the main project.
Besides barbecue, what else can be the main event? Su Chaoqi thought deeply, and then heard Su Chaoliu say: "Actually, feeding fish is quite interesting."
In her previous life, when she broke off a piece of steamed bun by the lake and threw it in, countless fish rushed up to eat the steamed bun.
Yes, feeding fish and small animals can also be used for projects.
Su Chaoqi opened the optical computer and looked for information: "I'm going to look up how to make fish food."
She is good at cooking human food, but she really can't cook fish food.
This plan is easier said than done.
Anyway, the opinions were raised, so let Qiao Zhiyan make the specific plans himself.
There is actually nothing gained after the tour, because I just took a quick look at the scenery and did not get any effective information.
The scenery along the way is good, but they are not here to see the scenery.
But it was just for fun. They hadn't played like this for a long time.
In the evening, Su Chaoliu and Su Chaoqi talked in the living room after taking a shower.
Su Chaoliu said: "Tomorrow I want to go into the forests on both sides of the canyon and have a look."
After all, they looked around today. Although they had fun, they didn't do any serious work. They always wanted to go into the forest to see what gifts nature had.
Su Chaoqi didn't stop her and just said, "Be careful not to go too far out of the safety line."
The safety line on the asteroid is where tourists can go. All the areas they visited today on the aircraft have an invisible, transparent cover surrounding them to protect their safety.
Of course, this safety line was also installed at Qiao Zhiyan's home. It cost money, so the investment seemed to be quite large.
It's not impossible to get out of the security line, but you have to go out through a specific "door". Only Qiao Zhiyan knows where this "door" is.
Su Chaoliu pulled up a map of the area where Qiao Zhiyan rented. There was a satellite map on it, which not only marked the terrain but also marked the location of the safety line.
Even if she wants to go, she can't just go there without thinking. She has to make arrangements and plans in advance. Do you really think that the individual soldiers can go anywhere and just roll up their sleeves when they are in danger? The same is true for them. You have to learn how to organize your troops.
Su Chaoqi was also giving her detailed information.
Su Chaoqi majored in biology. She took a flight yesterday and knew what kind of animals and plants are suitable for growing in this geographical condition.
"You need to find some fruit trees," Su Chaoqi analyzed for her. "Even if there is food to eat, there should be no less to drink. There should be mulberry trees. When the time comes, I will teach him how to brew mulberry wine. You can also look for other fruit trees. If not, just buy it from this asteroid and you should be able to receive it."
"Also, look at what animals there are, besides rabbits, and try to catch some chickens, or determine their habitat. You can't just have the same barbecue."
Chicken wings, legs, hearts, and gizzards can all be grilled, and rabbit meat won't look too monotonous.
Su Chaoliu couldn't help but joke when he heard this: "What, you want a chicken and a rabbit to live in the same cage?"
Su Chaoqi also laughed: "We live in the same cage. I think it's better to keep them free-range. Just keep them in the orchard. It's an ecological cycle."
Since chickens were mentioned, Su Chaoliu wanted to ask if other animals could be raised: "What about beef, mutton, and pork? Don't you want to raise these?"
"If you don't raise them," Su Chaoqi said categorically. "The longer the life span, the easier it is for larger creatures to evolve. This is destined by God."
Rabbits, chickens and ducks, because they are extremely easy to reproduce, are not easy to evolve and have relatively short lifespans. However, mammals such as cattle, sheep, and pigs have long lifespans, take a long time to give birth to the next generation, and have a higher probability of evolution.
This is the conclusion reached by the Department of Biology. If a creature reproduces quickly and evolves easily, then the entire race will grow rapidly and threaten other races. Therefore, a fair God will not let this happen. of.
It's good to just have rabbit and chicken, and it looks like there's also fish. However, there are too many fish in the water and it's not easy to manage. It's better to feed the guests a fixed variety.
"Moreover, the evolution of organisms is also related to the environment," Su Chaoqi continued. "The more comfortable the environment, the less likely it is to evolve, or it can be said to be domesticated."
Su Chaoliu thought about it and felt that what he said made sense: "Without the pressure of survival, people will naturally be more relaxed."
For example, if their lives were not good enough, they would not bother to go to the First Military Academy. Other schools are also very good, but there is no affiliated planet of the First Military Academy.
