After spending some time in the laboratory, Su Han also went to inspect the temporary dinosaur meat processing area.
Because scientists had stated that this dinosaur meat was edible, the shed for the slaughterhouse was constructed in just half a day after the research was completed.
This temporary shed housed a complete set of butchering equipment. These were originally designed for slaughtering cattle, and they were a bit challenging to use for butchering large dinosaurs. Therefore, the slaughterhouse was currently focusing on processing dinosaurs similar in size to cattle.
After all, butchering large dinosaurs would require significant manpower and resources under such circumstances.
A person in charge provided Su Han with an introduction.
To give Su Han a more intuitive understanding of the slaughterhouse's operations, they even demonstrated it.
"This dinosaur weighs about one ton. Vice Minister Su Han, let's see how our dinosaur slaughterhouse works!"
Following this, Su Han watched a demonstration of the dinosaur slaughterhouse's process...
(Slaughtering process omitted for five hundred characters)
After butchering, the dinosaurs were divided into portions convenient for transport through the portal. Each portion of dinosaur meat, after being cut, weighed around one hundred kilograms.
Su Han observed and remarked, "These portions seem a bit large. What if the people of Dragon Country realize this is dinosaur meat?"
"Vice Minister Su Han is correct. Then we should cut the dinosaur meat into even smaller pieces. Vice Minister Su Han, how small is appropriate to cut this dinosaur meat?"
"Cut it smaller, like crocodile meat. If discovered, we can claim it's crocodile meat. By the way, where will this dinosaur meat be transported after it's shipped out?"
"Vice Minister Su Han, this dinosaur meat was originally intended to be processed by our Otherworld Development Department upon arrival on Blue Star. However, for some reason, this morning, all of this dinosaur meat was suddenly assigned to the Granary personnel for distribution."
Su Han immediately recalled his transaction with the Dragon Country Granary, exchanging dinosaur meat for staple grains.
Su Han adopted a righteous demeanor and stated, "Well, this can be considered a submission to the state. The Dragon Country Granary will uniformly allocate the grains, which will help alleviate the famine across Dragon Country."
The slaughterhouse manager replied, "If that's the case, it would be like a drop in the ocean. Even if this slaughterhouse operates twenty-four hours a day without interruption, it cannot supply even one ten-thousandth of Dragon Country's consumption."
"Indeed, this is not a long-term solution. Therefore, a new, larger slaughterhouse is already being selected for construction. Once completed, the daily processing capacity of dinosaur meat will multiply. Of course, butchering dinosaurs is not a long-term solution. The long-term solution lies in developing agriculture and raising dinosaurs here."
Even Su Han understood that solely acquiring dinosaur meat would deplete the dinosaurs of this entire world. Therefore, in the future, these dinosaurs would also need to be bred, along with agricultural development.
...
At this time, in a laboratory in a city in Dragon Country known for its hybrid rice experimental fields.
Many hybrid rice experts looked at the wilting rice plants in the fields with disappointment.
"Alas, it's difficult under the current circumstances. I never expected that after the departure of the father of hybrid rice, a disease like blight would appear."
"Alas, we must find a way to resolve the blight."
"..."
Amidst their disappointed discussions.
The director of the research institute walked in.
"Everyone, there is a secret mission assigned to us from above. If you participate in this secret mission, you will be unable to see your families for a long period. Please take an hour to consider. After you've made your decision, those who wish to undertake this mission should sign the confidentiality agreement."
"Director, what is this secret mission?"
"I don't know. However, it was hinted that this mission is related to hybrid rice. I cannot reveal any more details."
"Then I don't need to consider. I'm in."
"I'm in too!"
"..."
These scientists, who had dedicated their lives to the nation, all agreed to join.
"You should still consider for an hour!"
An hour later.
These scientists still agreed to join this secret mission.
Following this, under the protection of soldiers, these scientists boarded armored vehicles and left the city.
Similar events were occurring across Dragon Country.
In the north, a group of experts from the Wheat Research Institute left their institute...
In the east, a group of experts from the Aquatic Research Institute left their institute...
In the south, a group of experts from the Poultry Research Institute left their institute...
...
They were all distinguished individuals who contributed to the nation. It was thanks to them that Dragon Country could advance further.
Soon, these experts in staple grain cultivation arrived in the dinosaur world.
Upon entering the dinosaur world, they were filled with curiosity. Led by the staff, they excitedly visited several captured dinosaurs.
"Amazing, there's actually another world."
"So this is what dinosaurs look like."
"With this dinosaur world, the famine in our Dragon Country can be resolved."
"..."
After their amazement, they began their work.
However, as they started working, they noticed that many fields were still under cultivation. Various small excavators were digging up soil to prepare large tracts of land. Of course, this excavation was taking place more than ten kilometers away. This was because the area near the portal would be used to construct the headquarters of the Otherworld Development Department. The vicinity of the portal would eventually become a large city, so the fields to be cultivated were located further away to avoid future planning issues.
The fields were not yet fully prepared, but the experts were not idle. Under the protection of soldiers, they began searching for suitable areas for cultivation.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion. The Dragon Country's strength in the dinosaur world was growing daily, and construction was constantly increasing. All of this seemed very promising. The only factor limiting Dragon Country's progress in the dinosaur world was the size of the portal.
The portal was two meters wide and four meters high. The two-meter width prevented many large machines from entering whole, requiring them to be disassembled. Some parts of larger machines even exceeded the two-meter width. Consequently, many items inside were initially made with widths less than two meters. This also applied to the transport pickup trucks and small excavators. Because only small pickup trucks could be used for transport, many supplies could not be immediately completed on both sides. The speed of transporting building materials into the dinosaur world slowed down. The speed of transporting dinosaur meat out also slowed down. Facing this predicament, the high-level personnel of Dragon Country in the dinosaur world urgently hoped for the portal to be enlarged.
And that opportunity finally arrived. Su Han's portal system could now be activated to connect to a second portal, which would link to another new world.
