Superstars of Tomorrow

Although several generations of "robot dogs" have been developed to herd animals and give farmers more control over their herds, the old way of herding with sheepdogs persists. 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 will still work.

People in Muzhou are also willing to keep this kind of culture. Although this kind of shepherd culture has been condemned many times by people from other continents, they say that they have lost the original intention of general Su Mu to hold the competition and become capitalized and profit-oriented. So far, it is still being held, because the people who benefit the most have always been the Muzhou people.

Every year is a new Shepherd's season, which lasts from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

At the beginning of the season, it was just a simple shepherding competition. Afterwards, the teams with the highest points will be selected for the next round of competition. Each round will increase in difficulty. What Fang Zhao and the others are watching now is only the initial match, and the difficulty is not too high.

Fang Zhao has never herded herds before, but he heard a lot from his old friend Su Mu when he was in the last days. In the later period, when he could no longer remember what the normal world was like, he still remembered his experience of grazing clearly. The way he managed the team was to change from his experience of grazing.

Fang Zhao learned about the shepherd dogs from Su Mu. In Su Mu's team, there were also the most combat dogs, and there were also several dog teams that fought together.

After experiencing the catastrophe, the sheep are no longer what they were before the end of the world, but after being bred and screened by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the sheep raised as animal husbandry have returned to the shape of the sheep before the end of the world, but they are bigger in size and less temperamental. Not so squishy.

The game on the big screen begins.

"Team No. 1 has gone out!" The commentary on the field began to get excited.

Shepherding is a kind of ability of shepherd dogs to circle around the sheep and gather sheep, and the veterans of Shepherd Island can judge the ability of this shepherd team only from the shepherd.

The farmers of the team are basically the instructors of the shepherd dogs. In the early sheep herding competitions in Muzhou, someone commanded the shepherd dog team to herd the sheep. But later everyone found that it was not difficult, so they began to isolate people and let the shepherd dogs go by themselves. Action, and people can only stand and watch from the sidelines, but there are three opportunities to guide. When the shepherd is unfavorable, the farmers will apply for projection, let the machine that follows the camera project at the designated position, and they use gestures and batons to guide the dogs The team continued to herd the sheep.

The first team ran into some trouble halfway through.

"The No. C dog of the first team made a mistake! Side! Pay attention to the side! It still hasn't changed!" The commentator said loudly, "Oh, the farmer of the No. 1 team applied for projection guidance, there is no other way. Correct it in time, and it will be dangerous to lose the sheep."

Because one-sided herding is prone to loss of sheep, and all one hundred sheep must be driven into the fence to complete. Therefore, dogs that cannot change the habit of one-sided herding are not suitable for competitions, and some dogs, even if changed I can get over it, but sometimes I still make mistakes. The No. 1 team is now. The farmer is not angry because of this. He just applies for projection with a wry smile, gestures, and waves the baton to guide the shepherd dog that made a wrong move to the right direction. position running.

Although the shepherd dog that ran on the wrong side finally returned to the correct position because of the owner's projection guidance, the time was still delayed, eight minutes and five seconds, which is not a very good result. Generally, in this level of competition, the ability to be within seven minutes is almost the same.

After the first team finished, the second team started. Because a shepherd dog drove the sheep too well, he could not control the strength of the light bite, and the sheep bleed. Therefore, according to the penalty, the game time was increased by 15 seconds, and finally The score was eight minutes and one second, which was slightly better than the first team.

The third team was the team that the farmers here were hotly discussing just now, and many people in the tour group also bet on it to be the first.

"Oh, the No. 3 team adopts a circular out-grazing method...running position! running position...blocking the front! Beautiful!" the field commentator roared loudly.

And the farmers in front of Fang Zhao also started to get excited.

"Babies! Move! Pay attention to your position! Don't make any mistakes at this time!" Wu Yi shouted loudly while standing on the recliner, no matter how loud his voice was, the venue couldn't hear it at all.

"Follow up! It's off! It's back! Good!"

The small farmer stood up and wished he could rush to the scene to shake the shepherd dog that almost strayed just now.

"The head sheep, find the head sheep! Good! Very good! Yes, that's the one! Control it!"

Fang Zhao looked at the figures running on the green grass on the screen, barking and driving the scattered sheep together, and the farmers watching, whether they were watching from the side of the field or watching from a long distance The people who broadcast the live broadcast were as excited as if they had been beaten. Even the dog next to Wu Yi was staring at the screen vigorously.

And 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 it like this when they saw a dog shepherd. However, a few younger people probably also bought a lot of third team wins. Although they can't understand what is the movement, what is the blockade, but they can see the general situation on the screen, as well as the constantly changing timing.

Gather the flock, drive the flock to the destination, and when the commentator shouts "done", the farmers in the viewing hall all let out a roar.

"Five minutes and thirty-two seconds! The 'Carrot' farm on No. 3 is currently ranked first, leaving the second and third places behind by more than two minutes! It seems that the first place has been produced ahead of schedule today..." the field commentator Said.

The results of this competition are considered excellent. After the completion, some experts were released on the screen to analyze the sports performance of each shepherd dog in the shepherd that just ended. During the process, the changing rules and characteristics of the touchdown stage greatly praised the physical fitness of those shepherd dogs.

"Sister Carrera's farm is going to be on fire again." A small farmer said enviously.

"Haha, I have to let my elder sister take me by then!" Wu Yi was also very happy about his cousin's farm getting this result, "Do you know who the head dog of the shepherd team was just now? 'King Kong'! It's our family' Hei Pang's father! Huh? Where is Hei Pang? Hei Pang!"

Wu Yi yelled loudly, and after a while, the black dog that had yelled at Fang Zhao and the others at the parking lot before rushed in, wagging its tail vigorously in front of Wu Yi, whimpering and acting coquettishly. Not to mention, this dog is indeed fatter than those dogs in the shepherd arena.

Taking the dog to the side, Wu Yi continued to say to the surrounding people, "The name 'King Kong' may not be familiar to many people, but you must know the name of its grandma, 'Whirlwind'!"

"Oh~~ It's the one that won the season's best award more than ten years ago?! It is said that it was worth tens of millions at that time!"

"That's right! That's the one! Speaking of which, our black fat is still from a famous family!"

Several farmers started chatting about the previous 'best of the season', and when they talked about 'the queen of the famous family', the tour group next to them looked confused: it's amazing! A sheep herding dog is worth more than all of them combined!

After bragging about his dog's pedigree, Wu Yi slowly sipped a glass of wine, glanced at the herding behavior of the fourth team on the screen, turned his head to look at the tour group, and said, "I'm surprised that our shepherd dogs in Muzhou are worth a lot." ? I know that many people in your outer continents are not as good as our dogs in Muzhou."

It sounds harsh, but when the Muzhou man said this, he really didn't mean to despise and belittle it deliberately, it was just a statement.

Shepherds value shepherd dogs, and some well-known dogs have a higher status than outsiders. Therefore, many shepherd dogs in Muzhou are more arrogant than humans, and they give full play to the power of dogs.

"Many foreigners want to live in Muzhou, but it's a pity that the land in Muzhou is generally not open to foreigners." Wu Yi said, crossing his legs.

Some words of their ancestors who cultivated this land have been passed down from generation to generation, and some stories have been heard since childhood. The clearest thing is that some people voluntarily gave up this land when they opened up the land. Everyone has their own aspirations, and there is nothing to say, but when you see the land here is starting to improve, you regret it and want to come back? I'm sorry, you should stay in the outer continent!

In terms of human feelings, 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 assigned and the uncultivated land that may be distributed to their descendants in the future. To be divided up by newcomers, of course we must unite and exclude xenophobia. Leave and don't come back!

Therefore, the Muzhou people hugged tightly. From Jianzhou 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 Shepherd Competition in Muzhou, there is an option of "land" for the prize guessing prize in the final. Winning a piece of land from the sheep herding field in Muzhou is the dream of many people from other continents, but this dream has never been realized by any foreigner.

Looking at the results of the fourth and fifth teams on the screen, it seems that the third team won the first place ahead of schedule, just as the commentator said before. Wu Yi smiled, but he didn't have the kind of ecstasy that the people in the tour group thought. The people in the tour group were still thinking in their hearts: As expected of a local tyrant in Muzhou, the money they earned probably didn't pay attention.

However, 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 betting slip and smacked his lips. Well, sure enough, you can't have too much hope for the artist next to you.

But when the game reached the last game and the seventh team started to go out to herd, the farmers were very serious.

When the third team came out, the farmers were very happy, talking loudly, cheering for the third team with all their teeth and claws, but when the seventh team didn't look so excited, it could be seen from their eyes that they were more excited. The anticipation and forbearance of the fire.

The experienced tour group leader sighed in his heart. Based on his understanding of people like Muzhou, I am afraid that the seventh branch is the real goal of these people. Who stipulated that a person can only buy one team? Those farmers may have bought some teams they know because of favors, but secretly, I am 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 the pear-shaped herding method! Okay, very good...block the front! They gather the flock very fast! Unblock... beautiful! Perfect cooperation! Drive! Start driving forward! Pay attention to your eyes, pay attention to the eyes of the head dog!"

"The head dog, the watch dog! Dog A of the seventh team! This is a dog with a murderous look, and it found the head sheep from the flock! Be careful! They had a brief eye contact... Suppression! Powerful! This It is its first official sheep herding competition, but from it, I see the best of today! No, I think this rookie is about to rise!" The commentator was full of enthusiasm, and he could still hear the sound of him slapping the table , Listen to the sound and know that your hand hurts.

An excellent shepherd dog can control the head sheep of the flock with his gaze, and suppress the restless resistance of the head sheep. And this kind of suppression of eyes and momentum is more efficient than barking and biting.

"Enter the hurdles! All in the hurdles! Four points... four minutes and six seconds! Four minutes and six seconds! The seventh team, four minutes and six seconds, an absolute advantage, won the first place in today's competition!"

The tour group was so excited just now thinking about how much money they could win in this game, but now they are stupid.

Seven teams first? The third team was squeezed to the second place? How can it be?

Zuo Yu was also stunned.

After looking at the rankings of the seven teams in today's shepherd competition displayed on the big screen, and looking at his betting list, he coughed lightly, picked up his teacup and poured a glass of water to calm himself down.

Zuo Yu bought 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 top five rankings, and even bought 20,000 bets at once!

As for the top five rankings, all, all, guess, yes, yes!
