The factory that Lin Li and the others entered was dium-sized.
Area A was on the left, and Area B was on the right.
There was a walkway of seven or eight ters in between.
Each area had multiple pens, where the dual-headed cows were separately reared.
The floor inside the pens was covered with so weeds, with water sources and feeding troughs placed near the exterior edge.
The troughs contained so fertilizer and broken wall bricks.
The pens were isolated from the outside by a sheet of transparent high-strength glass, which offered relatively more freedom for the dual-headed cows — at least more so compared to first and second-tier demon beasts.
Wang Qiang peeked at the calves ahead and said with so surprise:
"Director Liu, these calves look so big."
As a decent person, Wang Qiang was referring to the size of the calves, not anything else.
Just as the young woman ntioned.
The body length of these calves was nearly two ters, already half the size of their parents.
They were even larger than so native cattle.
Lin Li, standing by, was not very surprised and explained:
"Xiao Wang, you probably didn't hear it clearly when you arrived.
Director Liu ntioned 'ready for slaughter.'
The literal aning of ready for slaughter is that they can be butchered, aning the calves are fully shaped.
So well-developed special individuals might even be able to mate and breed when ready for slaughter, so it's not normal if they aren't this big."
Liu Zhenhan nodded with a smile on the side.
The birth date of this batch of calves was about a month ago, all were natural births.
But at the ti, Liu Zhenhan considered that for a brand new hybrid breed, birth only signified overcoming the first hurdle.
Whether there would be growth problems remained to be observed.
Thus, he simply filed a report and didn't intend to invite Lin Li and others for an inspection.
As an unpleasant fact.
No one could guarantee how long such calves could live, they might not even survive the next day.
The mission of the Demon Beast Managent Center is to optimize and produce a dual-headed cow hybrid population capable of normal reproduction, doing superficial work to please the leadership is aningless.
Thus, until more than a month later, after confirming that these calves had taken shape and t health requirents.
Liu Zhenhan extended an invitation to Lin Li.
And so here they were.
Everything was prepared, including the cooking utensils and seasonings.
After all, the purpose of breeding dual-headed cows is for them to serve as beef cattle rather than working cattle, and the quality of breeding is surely judged by the taste.
For example, the crossbreeding center for Japanese cattle in native Tianfu.
Apart from special individuals, most second-generation individuals ended up in hotpots each ti.
This is also why most staff involved in breeding beef cattle and sheep are rather hefty; it's all developed later on.
This ti, a total of about thirty calves were ready for slaughter from the Demon Beast Managent Center.
Not all of them, of course.
At least about a third had to end up in the pot.
However, before the al began, Liu Zhenhan needed to report on the hybrid characteristics first.
He pointed at the signs of Areas A and B and said:
"Captain Lin, the initial idea of establishing Areas A and B was to set up a control group for comparative experints.
The aim was to see if controlling the maternal race of embryos could breed offspring individuals with only one head.
But the gene controlling the formation of two heads seems to be a dominant trait, not changing with either paternal or maternal alterations.
So, from this perspective, our attempt failed.
To solve this problem, we might have to, like Elder Yuan before, find a variant special individual with only one head among the dual-headed cows."
Liu Zhenhan objectively admitted to the failure of the control group first.
This is a common occurrence in the field of hybridization.
In fact, failures are often the norm.
It wouldn't be unusual for so unlucky researchers to experience breeding failures their entire career.
Thus, Lin Li did not bla Liu Zhenhan but instead patted his shoulder with a smile:
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Liu."
"It's not hard work, it's not hard work, for us in this line of work, we must have this understanding."
Liu Zhenhan chuckled kindly and then pointed to a young calf, saying:
"However, aside from the number of heads, we have made so progress in optimizing other secondary traits.
For example, this offspring is a combination of the native Xiangxi Yellow Cattle as the paternal line and the dual-headed cow from the Damo Realm.
Everyone can see.
Its body shape is relatively even, especially the back, without excessive bulges.
Unlike the dual-headed cows from the Damo Realm.
Perhaps due to the need to withstand siege impacts in beast tides, the dual-headed cows from the Damo Realm have a vast amount of at accumulated in the front half.
This makes the bone structure in the shoulder area of the Damo Realm dual-headed cows extrely robust, but the actual fat content isn't high.
In common terms, the at is quite tough.
The taste isn't well-suited for grilling, hot pot, braising, or air drying."
Upon hearing this, Lin Li couldn't help but closely observe the entire pen.
Indeed.
Just as Liu Zhenhan described.
The front half of the dual-headed cow from the Damo Realm was much bulkier than the back half.
It's akin to a burly man with a broad chest and narrow waist, having spindly legs and a slim waist, creating so discordance.
This is a result of evolutionary effects from the dual-headed cows' long-term city sieges, needing their shoulders to withstand extre impact from collective charging.
Like a giraffe's neck, they need to evolve in that direction to survive.
This evolutionary direction is a regular evolution for dual-headed cows in the Demon Realm, but for dosticated beef cattle, it's evidently reverse.
Therefore, Liu Zhenhan and others categorized it as one of the secondary optimization goals, hoping to optimize a normal individual.
But optimization is a long-term process, not sothing that can be completed in one or two generations.
For instance, the first-generation hybrid calves before Lin Li and others.
Although they look relatively symtrical, there is still a noticeable gap from the flat-backed kind used for beef.
According to Liu Zhenhan's team's plan.
They intend to complete this physical trait reversal within three to four generations.
This cycle is actually about the sa as the native optimization cycle, aning the generation count is the sa.
However, since the gestation period of the dual-headed cows from the Damo Realm is quite short, the optimization speed for the sa cycle could be four to five tis faster dostically.
Later, Liu Zhenhan also presented other optimization details.
For example, ox horn, ox hoof, ox tail, and so on.
And then.....
The feast began.
Liu Zhenhan led everyone to an open space outside a factory, where it was filled with fresh beef.
There was beef shin, brisket, eye of round, sirloin, fillet, beef ribs, large and small cucumber strips, etc.....
The organs were categorized as beef tripe, ox pizzle, ox testicles, etc.....
Cows are a very interesting species.
Different parts require completely different cooking thods, resulting in entirely unique textures.
For example, cucumber strips are suitable for stir-frying, beef shank and tripe are suitable for braising, while beef ribs and sirloin are good for grilling or roasting...
Hybrid cattle are neither genetically modified nor cross-species bred, making it nearly impossible to encounter diseased areas.
Moreover, Liu Zhenhan's team had already ticulously checked the quality of each part before the feast.
Therefore, everyone had nothing but anticipation for this feast, with no fear at all.
Sizzle——
A drop of hot oil slowly slid down the marbled at, srizing.
The grill was filled with dark red charcoal.
This type of charcoal didn't get the hottest, but its steady fla was perfect for the start phase.
The dark at and white fat were arranged like plum blossoms and bamboo interspersed.
The chef in charge of the barbecue was nad Yuanzhou, a local chef who rose to fa with fried rice.
As the skewers turned, Yuanzhou picked up a silver toothpick.
At the mont before the white fat could lt.
He swiftly poked a few holes into the lean at on the skewer.
With the outlet created, the lting fat imdiately seeped into the lean at around it.
In places where poking holes was tricky, Yuanzhou deftly rotated the skewer a few tis.
Letting the beef fat flow right where needed.
He remained calm and composed, with a serene deanor.
Yet his fingers moved swiftly, turning the skewer at a dizzying speed.
anwhile, brushing various seasonings onto the at.
Incredibly, none of the roasted at had any oil or seasoning dripping off!
Everything stayed on the skewer!
Wang Qiang, Lin Li, and others were sowhat used to the sight.
But Hua Xiaomo, a native of the Damo Realm, had never seen such a scene?
The young girl stood beside Yuanzhou, staring unblinkingly at the whirling skewers.
Her Adam's apple bobbed as she swallowed mouthfuls of saliva.
Her little tail wagged back and forth.
While Hua Xiaomo was in a daze.
Suddenly, two steaming skewers appeared before her eyes.
The young girl instinctively took them, then looked up at Yuanzhou.
Yuanzhou smiled:
"Go ahead, they're cooked,"
Hua Xiaomo blinked, just about to shove the barbecue into her mouth—this human-animal girl had been thoroughly 'dosticated' over ti.
But she suddenly rembered Elder Yuan's teachings, wagged her tail at Yuanzhou:
"Thank you."
Then eagerly stuffed the skewer into her mouth.
As soon as it entered her mouth.
The mysterious fat turned into a golden, transparent substance, lting on her tongue.
The lted juices slid down her throat, leaving her mouth full of wonderful flavor.
The lean at was even better.
The golden fat completely perated it.
With one bite.
An indescribable aroma rushed to her brain, lingering in her mouth.
The lean at had a good chew to it.
As she chewed.
Little by little at juice seeped out, spreading the unique flavor throughout her mouth, filling every taste bud.
This incredibly wonderful taste was like a spring breeze sweeping across the field or being in a sea of flowers.
Hua Xiaomo almost swallowed her tongue by accident.
Facing such deliciousness, the young girl was reluctant to eat too quickly.
But the allure of the taste made it impossible to abstain.
In this conflicting mindset, Hua Xiaomo quickly finished off a skewer of barbecue.
Looking at the other fragrant skewer in her hand, a trace of hesitance appeared in her eyes.
But that hesitation soon disappeared.
She turned around, skipping over to Elder Yuan, offering the skewer to him.
Elder Yuan petted her head indulgently, took a symbolic bite, then returned the remaining skewer to her.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but chuckle warmly.
Then ca a thoroughly enjoyable whole beef feast.
As everyone enjoyed the deliciousness.
They also began to look forward to the scene of the optimized two-headed cattle dominating the local area after success.
By the way.
This barbecue was not a celebration banquet.
So nobody drank alcohol, only Huiyuan fruit juice.
Now wasn't the ti to truly enjoy yet.
Three hours later.
As everyone was nearing fullness.
Lin Li's assistant Zhang Guanghua approached quickly:
"Captain Lin, there's new information!"
......
Note:
Does anyone know who gave a chapter recomndation yesterday? My favorites increased by seven or eight hundred even without a display recomndation, which is an effect not more than thirty books at Qidian can achieve, but I didn't have any PY deals...
Did anyone co across this book yesterday on so platform? Perhaps a public account or sothing?
