Chapter 1476: Inspecting the Bone-Crushing Canned Food Processing Factory

Yingzhou's gaze turned toward Miyier behind Sebastian.

"How is the factory's production situation?"

Miyier stepped forward and opened the Data Pad.

"Your Majesty, the experimental production line has now entered a stage of stable operation. The daily output is approximately ninety thousand cans, approaching eighty-five percent of full capacity. The workers are familiar with the operating procedures, and the yield rate is stable at over ninety-eight percent. Inventory is sufficient, raw material supply is normal, and logistics channels have been opened. If it remains stable, production will be expanded later."

Yingzhou nodded and said.

"Take me to see it."

Miyier turned to the side and made a gesture of invitation.

"Please follow me, Your Majesty."

The group walked along the main road of the factory area toward the factory building.

Yingxin walked to Yingzhou's side and said in a low voice.

"Uncle, the smell here doesn't smell like the factory on Xiuluo Holy Star."

Yingzhou turned his head and asked with a smile.

"How is it different?"

Yingxin thought for a moment.

"The factory on Xiuluo Holy Star smells like rust and machine oil, but here... it has a smell like boiled meat, but it's not fragrant, nor is it stinky, it's just... the smell of something that has been boiled."

"Because the things produced by the factory there are different."

After the group arrived inside the factory, Yingzhou saw that the interior was spacious and bright, the ceiling was high, and the ventilation system kept the air circulating.

The production line was running, and robotic arms moved regularly above the conveyor belt as the cans passed through cleaning, filling, sealing, sterilization, and labeling in sequence.

Fengqi workers were wearing gray work uniforms, busy at their respective posts.

When they saw people coming in, their movements paused briefly, and then they continued to focus on the work at hand.

Yingzhou walked to the side of a production line, stopped, and watched the cans on the conveyor belt pass through sealing and labeling in sequence, then arranged neatly in the finished product area, waiting to be boxed and shipped away.

He bent down to pick up a can that had just been labeled, turned it over in his hand, checked the smoothness of the seal and the label, and then put it back.

Yingzhou turned his head and looked at a glass window in the distance, where a fence could be seen outside the window.

Inside the fence were several young Orcs, not large in size, with short Liaya, and Yingzhou asked Miyier.

"Those Orcs, how are they being raised?"

Miyier nodded.

"Most of the Orcs are still healthy, but when this batch of cubs grows a bit larger, some will be sent to the workshop as a supplementary source of breeding stock, which is also a way to maintain the health of the population."

Yingzhou's gaze lingered on those Orcs for a while.

"After the scale is stable, you can consider establishing a dedicated breeding stock cultivation area, managed separately from the fattening area. Incorporate feed ratios and health monitoring into the standard process to ensure that the quality of the population does not decline due to intergenerational breeding."

Miyier was slightly stunned, then nodded and said.

"Your Majesty thinks further ahead; I will draft an expansion plan for this aspect as soon as possible."

"Let's go, to the quality inspection room."

The group arrived at the quality inspection room, where several testing devices were placed on the operating table against the wall, one of which was running.

Kemaike was wearing a white work uniform and standing in front of the operating table, observing a set of jumping data.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he did not look up immediately, but when his peripheral vision swept over the figure at the door, his whole body paused, then he stood straight and turned toward the door.

"Lord Emperor, welcome to your arrival."

Yingzhou walked into the room.

"Don't mind me, you go about your business."

"Yes."

Kemaike responded, but did not fully relax, only returning his gaze to the screen.

Yingzhou walked to the side of the operating table, his gaze falling on the sets of data on the display screen; he watched for a while and asked.

"Are these the spot-check results for this batch?"

Kemaike nodded and said.

"Yes, I was just testing a batch of cans that just came off the line, randomly selecting six cans, and the test items include heavy metal content, microbial indicators, and nutritional components.

The current data are all within the standard range, with no abnormal fluctuations, and are basically on par with previous batches."

"Heavy metal content... no obvious excess?"

Kemaike said.

"No, these Orcs come from the third breeding group, the growth cycle is longer than the first two batches, the meat is firmer, and the fat content is slightly lower.

Judging from the test data, all indicators are within the safe range, and the nutritional components also meet the standards, with no abnormal fluctuations."

Yingzhou said.

"In terms of nutrition, can it support the daily consumption of civilians?"

Kemaike pulled up another set of data.

"Yes, the protein content is about fifteen percent higher than the meat purchased by ordinary civilians, the fat content is moderate, and the composition of trace elements and amino acids also meets the normal needs of the human body.

As a daily meat source for civilians, it can fully maintain nutritional balance."

Yingzhou nodded.

"Good, you continue."

He turned and said to Fulgrim and the others.

"You take Yingxin to look around other parts of the factory area, do not go near the Orc Breeding Ground, you can go anywhere else."

Yingxin was originally standing in the corridor looking at the safety instructions posted on the wall, and when she heard her name, she immediately turned her head.

"Uncle, can we go to the cafeteria to take a look?"

Yingzhou said.

"That is fine."

Yingxin asked again.

"Then..."

Fulgrim tugged on her sleeve.

"Let's go, let's head to the cafeteria first."

Yingxin's attention was pulled back, and after waving to Yingzhou, she followed her brothers away.

The quality inspection room fell silent, leaving only Yingzhou and Miyier.

Yingzhou walked back to the console and glanced at that set of data.

"Regarding the factory's current production efficiency, if it stabilizes, what resources will be needed to expand the scale of farming?"

Miyier thought for a moment.

"Three main things are needed: land, feed, and water sources. The current farming area still has room for expansion, but the feed supply needs to keep up. Currently, the feed relies mainly on agricultural by-products and processing waste from surrounding planets; if a stable feed supply chain can be established, there won't be much of a bottleneck in expanding the scale."

Yingzhou said.

"The feed problem can be solved by the Orcs' own cycle, reducing dependence on external resources. Once the population reaches a certain scale, an internal cycle can be formed."

Miyier nodded and said.

"His Majesty has considered this more thoroughly than I have."

"How are those Fengqi workers performing?"

Miyier said.

"They are quite honest; they know their current position and also know what the consequences of being dishonest would be. There is no need to keep an extra eye on them; as long as they are given basic security and a stable workload, there won't be any major problems."

Yingzhou nodded.

"If there are any who are dishonest, just send them to the dangerous mineral planets. Since they can stay here, it means they are still useful for now.

Keep the status quo, and don't let them think they are irreplaceable."

"Understood."
