Although generations of "mechanical dogs" have been developed to herd and give farmers more control over herding, the old way of herding with sheepdogs has survived. When the weather is bad, or other force majeure factors affect the power and network systems, these figures running like the wind on the grass are still useful.
The people of Muzhou are also willing to retain such a culture. Although this culture of shepherds has been criticized many times by people from other continents, saying that it has lost the original intention of the general Su Mu to hold the competition, and it has become capitalized and profitable. Up to now, it is still going on, because the people who benefit the most have always been Muzhou people.
Every year is a new Shepherd's season that runs from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
At the beginning of the season, it was just a simple shepherd race, and then the teams with the highest points would be selected for the next round of competition, and each round would increase the difficulty. And what Fang Zhao and the others are watching now is just the initial game, which is not too difficult.
Fang Zhao never let her husband go, but in the last days, he heard a lot from his old friend Su Mu. When a few old friends get together in private, what Su Mu likes to talk about is his pastoral experience, even in the last days. In the later period, when he no longer remembered what the normal world was like, he still remembered clearly the experience of herding. The way he managed the team was transformed from the experience of herding.
Fang Zhao learned about the Shepherd Dog, and also learned from Su Mu that in Su Mu's team, there are also the most fighting dogs, and there are also several dog teams that work together.
After the catastrophe, the sheep are no longer what they were before the end of the apocalypse, and after being bred and screened by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the sheep raised as animal husbandry have returned a lot in form to the sheep before the end of the apocalypse, but they are larger in size and temperament. Not so soft.
The game begins on the big screen.
"Team No. 1 has been herding!" The commentator on the field began to get excited.
Shepherd is a kind of ability of shepherd dogs to circle around sheep and gather flocks, and the veterans of Muzhou can judge the ability of this shepherd team only from shepherd.
The farm owners of the team are basically the instructors of the shepherd dogs. In the early shepherd competitions in Muzhou, someone instructed the shepherd dog team to shepherd the sheep. But later, everyone found that it was not difficult, so they began to isolate the people and let the shepherd dogs go by themselves. People can only stand outside the field and watch, but there are three opportunities for guidance. When the shepherd is unfavorable, the farmers will apply for projection and let the following machine project at the designated position, and they will use gestures and baton to guide the dog. The team continued to shepherd the sheep.
The first team had some trouble midway through.
"The first team's dog C moved wrong! Side! Pay attention to the side! Still haven't changed it!" Correct it in time, and it will be dangerous when the sheep is lost."
Because unilateral grazing is prone to loss of sheep, all 100 sheep must be driven into the fence to be completed. Therefore, dogs that cannot change the habit of unilateral grazing are not suitable for the competition, and some dogs, even if they are changed I got it, but sometimes I still make mistakes. Now that's the No. 1 team. The farmer didn't get angry because of this. He just smiled bitterly and applied for a projection. He gestured and waved the baton to guide the shepherd dog that was running wrong. position to run.
Although the shepherd dog that ran on the wrong side finally returned to the correct position because of the master's projection guidance, the time was still delayed, eight minutes and five seconds, which was not a very good result. Generally, in this level of competition, the ability within seven minutes is almost the same.
After the first team was completed, the second team started. Because a shepherd dog drove the sheep in an excessive manner, the nibbling was uncontrollable, and the sheep bleeds. Therefore, according to the penalty, fifteen seconds were added to the game time. The score was eight minutes and one second, which was a little better than the first team.
The third team is the team that the farmers here have been talking about just now, and there are also many people in the tour group who bet on it to buy it first.
"Oh, the No. 3 team uses a circular grazing method... run! run... block the front! Beautiful!" the field commentator shouted.
And the farmers in front of Fang Zhao also became excited.
"Babys! Run! Pay attention to running! Don't make a mistake at this time!" Wu Yi shouted loudly while standing on the reclining chair.
"Follow up! I'm on the wrong side! I'm back again! Good!"
The small farmer stood up and could not wait to rush to the scene to give the shepherd dog that had almost strayed just now.
"Head sheep, find a sheep! Good! Very good! That's right, that one! Control it!"
Fang Zhao looked at the figures running on the green grass on the screen, barking wildly to drive the scattered sheep together, and the farmers watching, whether they were watching from the other side of the arena, or from a great distance. The live broadcasters were as excited as they had been beaten with blood. Even the dog next to Wu Yi stared hard at the screen.
The people in the tour group sitting next to them were frightened by the excited behavior of the farmers. They probably didn't expect these people to see a dog and sheep like this. However, a few younger people probably bought a lot of third teams to win. Although they couldn't understand what moves and blocks were, they could see the general situation on the screen, as well as the constantly changing top right of the screen. timing.
Gathering and driving the sheep to their destination, the farmers in the viewing hall let out a roar as the commentator chanted "Done".
"Five minutes and thirty-two seconds! No. 3's 'carrot' farm is currently ranked first, and the second and third place are over two minutes away! It seems that the first place is ahead of schedule today..." the field commentator said .
The results of this competition are also excellent. After the completion, some experts are also released on the screen to analyze the sports performance of each sheepdog in the shepherd that just ended. From the image capture technology, they analyze the performance of their limbs and joint angles in the sheep. During the process, the changing laws and characteristics of the touchdown buffer stage greatly praised the physical fitness of those shepherd dogs.
"Sister Carrera's farm is going to be hot again." A small farmer envied.
"Haha, then I have to ask my elder sister to take me with you!" Wu Yi was also very happy that his cousin's farm got this result, "Do you know who the head dog of the shepherd team just now is? 'King Kong'! It's our home' Black fat' dad! Huh? Black fat? Black fat!"
Wu Yi shouted loudly, and after a while, the black dog who had yelled at Fang Zhao at the stop before rushed in, wagging his tail vigorously in front of Wu Yi and groaning coquettishly. Not to mention, this dog is indeed fatter than the dogs on the sheep field.
Taking the dog to the side, Wu Yi continued to talk to the people around him, "The name of 'King Kong' may not be familiar to many people, but you must know the name of his grandmother, 'Whirlwind'!"
"Oh~~ It's the one that won the Best of the Season Award more than ten years ago?! It is said that it was worth tens of millions at the time!"
"That's right! That's it! Speaking of which, our black fat is still the queen of the famous family!"
Several farmers started chatting about the former 'best season' and talking about 'after the famous family', the tour group beside them was confused: It's amazing! A sheep dog is worth more than their group combined!
After blowing the blood of his own dog, Wu Yi took a glass of wine and sipped slowly, glanced at the shepherd behavior of the fourth team on the screen, turned to look at the tour group, and said, "I'm surprised that our sheepdogs in Muzhou are worth the price. ? I know, many people in your other continents are not as good as our dogs in Muzhou."
It sounds harsh, but the Muzhou people really didn't mean much to deliberately despise and demean when they said this, it was just a statement.
Shepherds value sheepdogs, and some well-known dogs have higher status than foreigners. Therefore, many sheepdogs in Muzhou are more arrogant than people, and they give full play to the dog's ability to fight against people.
"Many foreigners want to live in Muzhou, but unfortunately, the land in Muzhou is generally not open to foreigners." Wu Yi said with his legs crossed.
Some of the words of their ancestors who cultivated on this land were passed down from generation to generation, and some stories were heard from childhood. The most clear thing is that when the land was opened up, some people voluntarily gave up this land. Everyone has their own aspirations and has nothing to say, but when they see the land here is starting to get better, they regret it and want to come back? I'm sorry, you still stay in the outer continent!
In terms of human affection, they regard those who have left and repented as traitors. In terms of interests, no one wants the large tracts of land they have been allocated and the land that has not been cultivated that may be allocated to their descendants in the future. Being divided up by the newcomers, of course, must be united and excluded. Leave, don't come back!
Therefore, the Muzhou people hugged tightly. From the establishment of the continent to the present, no foreigner has been able to win a large farm in Muzhou.
However, it is not that there are other ways to get land from Muzhou. In the Muzhou Shepherd Competition, there is a "land" option for the prize in the final contest. It is the dream of many foreigners to win a piece of land from the Shepherd Field in Muzhou. However, this dream has never been realized by any foreigner.
Looking at the results of the fourth and fifth teams on the screen, they were not as good as the third team. It seemed that, as the commentator said before, the third team won the first place ahead of schedule. Wu Yi smiled, but there was no ecstasy like the people in the tour group thought. The people in the tour group were still thinking: As expected of a local tyrant in Muzhou, the money he made probably didn't pay attention.
On the contrary, there are a few people in the tour group who spent a lot of money to buy the first place in the third team, and they are very excited now.
Zuo Yu looked at his bet slip and smacked his lips. Well, I really can't hold out too much hope for the artist next to me.
But when the seventh team started to graze in the last game, the farmers were very serious.
When the third team came out, the farmers were very happy, talking loudly and cheering for the third team, but when the seventh team came out, although they didn't look so excited, they could see it was stronger from their eyes of anticipation and forbearance.
The experienced tour group leader sighed in his heart. Based on his understanding of Muzhou and the others, I am afraid that this seventh group is the real goal of these people. Who stipulated that one person can only buy one team? Those farmers may have bought some teams of people they know because of their favor, but secretly, I'm afraid they have other plans.
The seventh team was very sharp from the beginning, and the commentator's tone was raised again.
"Seven teams of eight dogs, using a pear-shaped grazing style! Well, very good... Blockade the front! They gather the flock very quickly! Unblock... Beautiful! Perfect fit! Drive! Start driving forward! Watch your eyes. , pay attention to the eyes of the head dog!"
"Head dog, watch dog! Dog A of the seventh team! This is a dog with its own murderous intent, it found the head sheep from the flock! Attention! They have a brief look at each other... Suppression! Awesome! This is It's the first official shepherd game, but from it, I saw the best of the day! No, I think this rookie is about to rise!" The commentator was so passionate, and he could hear the sound of clapping the table, Hearing the sound can tell the hand hurts.
An excellent shepherd dog can control the head sheep of the flock and suppress the restless resistance of the head sheep with his gaze. And this kind of suppression of eyes and momentum is more efficient than barking and biting.
"Into the hurdles! All into the hurdles! Four minutes... four minutes and six seconds! Four minutes and six seconds! The seventh team, four minutes and six seconds, has an absolute advantage and won the first place in the field today!"
The people in the tour group who were still excited just now thinking about how much money they could win in this game are now stupid.
Seventh team first? The three teams were pushed to the second place? how is this possible
Zuo Yu was also stunned.
He looked at the rankings of the seven teams in today's Shepherd's Match displayed on the big screen, and then looked at his betting list. He coughed lightly, took a teacup and poured a glass of water to calm himself down.
Zuo Yu bought it according to Fang Zhao's betting list. Unlike those who only bet on the first place or guessed all the rankings, Fang Zhao bought the ranking of the top five and also bought 20,000 bets at one time!
And the top five rankings, all, department, guess, right, right!
