171 War Horse Incubator(2/2)

When the people of the Zhou Dynasty heard that the Hu people had agreed to this street, they immediately became excited.

Even if a group cannot be formed, a group of improved horse breeds can be cultivated within a few years.

This time, even the emperor and the emperor were not in a hurry to take away the bloody horse that Shi Zhongkui had named "Zhui Feng".

Of course, Shi Zhongkui was not in a hurry to ride his new mount.

Instead, he focused on the winter training of the field soldiers during the day, and paid attention to the three pregnant Hequ horses in the space ranch at night.

The gestation period of horses is generally 40 to 44 weeks. The space ranch increases the weight of the species by 30 kilograms every day, so the growth rate should be 12 times that of the outside world.

In other words, the pregnancy period of a mare in space is probably less than one month.

But after he opened a pasture and decided to raise cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks there, Shi Zhongkui discovered that the gestation period of animals in the pasture was extremely short.

Even a calf in a cow's belly only takes two to four days to be born.

After careful calculation of the calf's weight, it was quickly concluded that after the cow became pregnant, the calf's weight gain rate could reach 30 kilograms per day.

So the three Hequ horses gave birth to three foals within two days.

In just 10 days, there were 15 foals of various sizes and three mares in the pasture.

The cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks were squeezed out of all the space and were directly slaughtered by Shi Zhongkui.

The three fastest growing foals already weighed 300 kilograms.

And it looks a little unusual.

Not only is he active, his endurance is also surprisingly good.

Even if their father chases the wind and runs continuously in the space ranch, they can only run for about 8 or 9 minutes.

But those three mixed-breed horses were able to last for 5 or 6 minutes.

If it grows older, maybe its endurance can surpass Chai Feng's.

The most important thing about a war horse is endurance.

If you can't win, turn around and run away, and you can drag your opponent to death if you drag him.

And when the enemy can't catch up, you can turn around and use your bow and arrow to greet the enemy, which will easily defeat the enemy.

This move was also the biggest trump card of the Mongolian cavalry in being able to traverse the Eurasian continent.

The elite cavalry archers charge a wave of arrows, run in circles with the enemy, and take advantage of the recovery ability of the Mongolian horse, which is stronger than other horse breeds.

Once the opponent can no longer run, he basically becomes a lamb to be slaughtered.

After Shi Zhongkui discovered that the mixed-breed horse had super endurance, he quickly found Changping Land God and Mountain God.

We found a hidden valley and released the three mixed-breed horses, which had grown up in the space ranch for a month and were basically adults, into space.

After that, Zhui Feng and the three Hequ mares completely became breeding machines.

The only restriction on Shi Zhongkui's ability to significantly expand the number of horses is that the pasture can only breed 20 animals.

Except for the three mares and Chasing the Wind, there were only 16 horses left.

In 6 days, the pasture will be occupied by foals.

If you set the cycle to one month, there will be 24 days when you can't do anything.

But if the cycle is set to 6 days, the foal can only gain 240 kilograms of weight, which is almost the same as the size of a 1-year-old horse.

If you have enough time and patience, you can slowly raise it in the outside world and it will reach adulthood in two years.

And doing this means that 16 times 5, which is equal to 80 one-year-old mixed horses, are constantly being bred every month.

That's nearly a thousand heads a year.

The thought of this was exciting, but unfortunately within a few days Shi Zhongkui discovered that Zhui Feng was obviously a little depressed.

The three Hequ horses showed signs of aging.

Needless to say, Zhui Feng almost died from exhaustion, and the three mares were also using their lives to give birth to new horse breeds.

As a last resort, Shi Zhongkui could only change the cycle to once every half month.

That is, 32 mixed-breed horses weighing 450 pounds per month.

But there is also a problem with this, that is, it is difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

After all, the gap between a war horse weighing 450 kilograms and a fully adult war horse weighing 900 kilograms is not huge.

Shi Zhongkui stood in the valley and looked at the stables built by the mountain god, and after two months of breeding, the number had reached 38, which were either adults, one and a half years old, or one year old mixed-breed horses.

I couldn't help but think that since I had plenty of time in the future, I might as well just train these 38 mixed-breed horses into adult war horses with excellent combat capabilities.

In response to this winter, many people obviously starved to death and froze to death, and the prairie rangers will have to go south after next spring.

After making the decision, the three Hequ mares quickly escaped the fate of the fertility machine and were released by Shi Zhongkui to enjoy the rare tranquility in the field camp with Zhui Feng.

Sixteen one-and-a-half-year-old horses and four one-year-old horses began to develop in the space pasture.
