stand back, let me come

Chapter 1496 1495: Plant Protection Drone (Part ) [Seeking monthly pass]

As the best among the scroll kings, Lin Feng did not even have time to rest and drink tea when she returned to the camp, and she led her men to inspect the farmland. She needed to learn more about these locust eggs and make a decision with a clear mind. There was a barren land along the way, and there was no green in sight.

The world was vast and desolate, and even the air was shrouded in deathly silence.

When Lin Feng arrived, there was already someone in the field.

Jimo Qiu squatted near the ridge of the field, with a handful of light brown, elliptical rice grains suspended in the air above his left hand. The grains were less than two centimeters long and looked like they had not been pounded thoroughly.

His master stood behind him with his arms folded across his chest, and the two were talking about something. Lin Feng tightened the reins from a distance, dismounted and walked. Shen Tang noticed Lin Feng's movement from a distance, turned her head and said to her: "Why doesn't Lingde rest in the camp for half a day?"

After receiving the imperial edict, Lin Feng rushed back at full speed. He didn't get enough rest on the way, and didn't even drink a sip of tea when he came back. He punched in for work without stopping and held up his work badge. This made Shen Tang, who was used to taking the lead in working overtime, feel embarrassed, and he always felt that he was mistreating his beloved.

"I've been thinking about the locust plague that's about to happen, and I can't sleep. I can't rest anyway, so I might as well come and take a look."

Thanks to Chu Yao's encouragement, Lin Feng's current state is like that of someone who drank three or four cups of milk tea and several spoonfuls of protein powder in the middle of the night, and wanted to run tens of thousands of meters to vent the excess energy. How could she sleep? If she doesn't work hard, how can she have clay sculptures?
Lin Feng walked over and saluted.

His eyes swept over the mass of things floating in Jimo Qiu's palm, and he couldn't help but exclaimed "Ah". Only when he got closer did he see clearly that this mass was not a long and thin rice grain, but a group of insect eggs! The size of the insect eggs was half an inch longer than the ones Lin Feng had seen before, and the color was lighter.

Looking closely, some of the eggs have already shown signs of hatching.

Lin Feng: "Were these caught from the fields?"

"Well, there are too many eggs. We only ordered people to turn over a small area of ​​land, but we caught so many. Many eggs are still hidden deep. If it weren't for the recent weather changes that repeatedly tricked some of the eggs into hatching and crawling out, it would be even harder to catch them." Jimo Qiu controlled his divine power and sent this fist-sized group of densely packed eggs to Lin Feng so that she could observe more carefully. "I have also tried to raise poisonous insects."

Jimo Qiu predicted Lin Feng’s problem.

Jimo Qiu was the only one in Kangguo who knew how to play with Gu worms. She knew that worm eggs were also one of the raw materials for Gu worm feed, and locust eggs, which were large and nutritious, were the favorite of Gu worms. Lin Feng occasionally worked overtime and had no time to feed the Gu worms, so he threw the Gu worms to the official fields under his name and let the Gu worms eat buffet at the official fields, making them fat and plump.

"What is the effect of raising Gu worms?"

"Poisoned."

Talking about this, Jimo Qiu's tone was somewhat resentful. Gu worms are easy to raise, but they are also very difficult to raise. He originally wanted to give the Gu worms a good meal, but who knew that they were poisoned by locust eggs. Gu worms can actually cause food poisoning, isn't this outrageous?

Lin Feng knew without asking that Jimo Qiu had suffered heavy losses.

Only those who raise Gu can understand this kind of pain.

She comforted Jimo Qiu to be more positive.

"...When crossing a mountain peak, there are times when you are poisoned to death by your own kind."

It seems reasonable that insects can cause food poisoning.

"...No one has ever been so poisonous as the batch of Gu insects I released." Jimo Qiu tried more than one kind of Gu insects, both poisonous and non-toxic, and even one that was raised with poisonous snake venom glands as food, but it was also poisoned to death. This shows that these locust eggs are better than the original. If they are allowed to hatch and form a large scale, the damage to the entire environment will be incalculable.

These locust eggs are unusual.

"Even the eggs are poisonous. Even the larvae can kill the poisonous insects. This basically eliminates the possibility of raising chickens, ducks and geese to deal with the locust plague." Fortunately, Kangguo does not rely solely on these livestock to control the locust plague. They have plenty of means. The household officials of the prefectures and counties of Kangguo are all in a state of internal turmoil. Using the Word Spirit to control the locust plague is their forte, and this happens to be Jimo Qiu's weakness.

Well, that’s also Lin Feng’s strong point.

"The villain has evil intentions. This action will be despised by future generations." She frowned in disgust. The two forces can fight, but why implicate innocent people? The Central Allied Forces' actions are harmful to others and not beneficial to themselves. They are completely thinking that if they can't win, they will die together!

Lin Feng vented his emotions and thought of another fatal problem.

“Will these insect eggs contaminate arable land?”

Shen Tang said worriedly, "A few cacti that we transplanted died within an hour. I asked the doctor Xinglin to take soil from a farmland with a high density of insect eggs, and repeatedly washed and filtered it with clean water. Then he used the clean water to feed the chickens, ducks, and geese."

Haha, there is no need to say much about the result.

Several unfortunate chickens, ducks and geese began to show strong discomfort symptoms, either suddenly going crazy or twitching and foaming at the mouth. This discovery almost caught Shen Tang and others off guard, and also made Lin Feng really angry: "So, this farmland can't be used?"

Shen Tang nodded.

Lin Feng was struck by lightning.

Personally, this is about her perfect ceremony!
For the public, these arable lands must be redistributed.

Or redistribute it to local common people, or use it to reward meritorious soldiers and generals. Now these cultivated fields are contaminated by insects and poisons, and there is a possibility of locust plagues and cholera in the future. Kangguo's conquest of these places is equivalent to carrying negative assets. The more negative assets, the closer to bankruptcy.

Lin Feng realized the seriousness of the situation in an instant.

The Central Allied Forces only harm these farmlands?

Not necessarily. They are simply harming others without benefiting themselves.

Kangguo conquered a piece of land, and the Central Allied Forces had to destroy it before they evacuated. Even if they couldn't use it, they would definitely not give Kangguo a penny! This realization made Lin Feng close his eyes in despair. Fighting with such a leper was as disgusting as being stuck with shit!

Lin Feng could tolerate the obstruction of the completion ceremony - the difficulty of the completion ceremony was too great, so great that even a strong-willed person like Lin Feng had an optimistic attitude of "if I succeed, I'm lucky, if I fail, I'll die" - but she could not tolerate the destruction of the world's situation: "This bunch of beasts!"

If his master had not been here, Lin Feng would have probably lost his composure and started to greet the ancestors of the Central Allied Forces.

_(:з　∠)_
She had been in the military camp when she was less than ten years old, so she had a very rich vocabulary.

Years of self-cultivation have given her amazing self-control in this regard. In her early years, she had failed several times, but she had also taken the initiative to practice silent meditation to eliminate sins and avoid disasters. Now that she is an adult, her concentration and self-cultivation have improved a lot. She was almost provoked to the point of failing, which shows how angry she was.

"It's not like there's no chance of saving it."

Shen Tang had held a meeting with all the ministers before Lin Feng came.

Several solutions have been considered for this purpose.

One of them is to relocate the population and move the common people near the poisonous fields to other places. If the southwest continent continues to be transformed, the arable land area should be able to increase a lot, and each place can also develop other pillar industries to alleviate the pressure brought by the population explosion, but it is only a temporary solution. The folk customs and habits of the central region are different from those of the southwest region. Forced migration and integration will only increase the possibility of conflict and mutiny.

It's not that they don't want to move to the Northwest Continent, but the political situation in the Northwest Continent has been stable in recent years, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. If living conditions are good, won't they start to have children? As long as the external conditions can keep up, the next thirty to fifty years will be a golden period for population growth.

After discussion, the proposal to relocate the population was rejected.

This proposal would do more harm than good.

The best option is to use the central mainland as the cornerstone of your operations.

Some people are optimistic and do not advocate that everyone should think the worst. They should think about the good side of things: [The Allied forces are now acting like desperate dogs, but they are just grasshoppers in autumn. They may not be able to harm all the cultivated land. We might as well make this matter public and use the public anger to hinder their tricks! ] The Allied forces and other countries dare not act openly to arouse public resentment.

Some people disagree with this view.

The essence of thinking positively about everything is to hope that the enemy will have a conscience and not go to extremes, which is to cede the initiative in the struggle.

If the enemy had any conscience, would they have been able to create the current situation?
Even the hawks came out to refute it immediately.

【No, no, only when the monarch governs the country and loves and values ​​the people, can the people's grievances reach the ears of the emperor, shake up the political affairs, and make the scholars and officials aware of the warning and take it seriously. Gentlemen, have you seen the recent behavior of the allied forces? Do they love and value the people at all? They regard the people's lives as ants, and no matter how resentful the ants are, they cannot be afraid!】It is not a smart move to stir up public resentment, and in the end, the allied forces may even blame you for it.

Public resentment is a double-edged sword.

If you use it improperly, you may cut yourself.

For a moment, both civil and military officials were in trouble.

The result of the discussion was that the population should not be relocated easily. The two places were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and countless people would die of exhaustion. Even if they arrived at their destination alive, outsiders would conflict with the local population, which was not conducive to governance. The population should stay in the local area, and when Kangguo was unified, the royal court could dispatch food resources, so that the food-rich areas and the central part could form a mutually supportive relationship, which would also help the central parts to integrate into Kangguo more quickly. This proposal was still criticized.

Why didn't you think before you said this?

Don’t you know how many people there are in the Central Continent?

Before the emergence of Kangguo, the population in the northwest and southwest had an outflow trend, and the refugees' first choice was to flee to the central region. If it weren't for the refugees' inconvenience in walking and lack of good means of transportation, they would have fled. The central allied forces are full of talents, which is also related to their large population. There are many fields, abundant food, and relatively stable political situation, so the talents who fled there have the opportunity to reproduce and thrive.

More people are giving birth, and more people are raising them.

Naturally, there is a high probability of talent emerging from it. Otherwise, where would the Central Allied Forces get so many people to fight Kangguo?

Talented generals who were rarely seen on weekdays emerged one after another without asking for money, just like leeks. After killing a batch of old men, another batch of old men would emerge. These are the accumulation of years and months!

There are not enough people to get rid of these accumulations.

【What should we do then? 】

[We can’t move away, and we can’t support ourselves if we stay…]

A group of people who have fought their way out of the chaotic world are the first to think that I am a good person. It's not that their values ​​are so positive, it's just that the other side is too despicable and dares to use any anti-human moves.

【Why not just counter the moves? 】

Gu Chi glanced at Chu Yao who had been sitting on the Diaoyutai.

Ever since someone had achieved the highest level of scholarly knowledge, Gu Chi had regarded this colleague as a weather vane. No matter how big the matter was, as long as Chu Wuhui could still sit still, it meant that the matter was not yet at the end of its rope. He knew that Chu Yao's failure to offer an answer was not only for his own benefit, but also for the benefit of other colleagues. If he was asked to come up with the answer to everything, what would the others do?
Shen Tang had a vague idea in his mind: [Counterattack with the same move? ]

[If there are insects in the fields, then we should kill them. If there is poison in the fields, then we should detoxify them.] Since insect eggs can be burned, we can naturally find a way to detoxify the insect poison. Gu Chi's idea was very bold, and someone immediately raised a question - have you ever thought about how large the cultivated land area is?

Even if the Medical Bureau or the Ministry of Revenue develops an antidote for the insect poison, how to spread the antidote becomes a problem - Kangguo is willing to use troops to do this, but God will not give them enough time!

How much land can one person spray in a day?

How long does it take for the antidote to take effect?
Even if these problems can be solved, they still need to spend time to ensure that the fields are indeed fine before restarting the spring ploughing. Otherwise, the common people will work hard for several months, and the roots of the crops will extend downwards to absorb the residual poison, wouldn't that be a disaster?

No matter how efficient it is, this matter may continue for several years.

At this time, Shen Tang looked up at the sky.

She noticed several people doing the same thing.

The answer was self-evident after exchanging glances and the tacit understanding between the king and his subjects.

Kang Shi: [My colleagues' extensive discussion has opened my eyes. I have thought of someone who can handle this matter. Master Qin may be able to solve the current dilemma, and the Taishi Bureau may be able to influence the weather in the area! ]

【What do you mean? 】

Kang Shi said: [Mix the antidote into the cloud. ]

Rainwater itself can also dilute insect poison in the soil.

He did not propose increasing rainfall because the central region already has abundant rainfall, and countries do not pay much attention to water conservancy. If the rainfall is increased rashly, there is a fear that the central water system will not be able to cope with it, which will backfire and cause floods. Moreover, the insect poison diluted by rainwater will also pollute the groundwater, which will cause greater harm.

Everyone was suddenly enlightened, and most of them were shocked: […mix the antidote into the clouds and let it fall with the rain?]

This move indeed solved the manpower problem of spreading the antidote.

The efficiency is amazingly high.

[…If this is feasible, does it mean that some insect repellent can also do the same in the future?] Immediately, some people drew inferences from this, and their eyes became brighter and brighter. Can the Word Spirit be used in this way? A powerful Wudan warrior can fly into the clouds, so there is no problem of not being able to send the antidote up, and the Taishi Bureau is also experienced in creating clouds and intercepting rain from clouds.

【Great! 】

There were wonderful shouts coming from inside the tent.

[From this perspective alone, it doesn't have to be the Taishi Bureau.] Yun Ce, who has always been taciturn, spoke for the first time, which made him stand out among the generals. [You can also ask the commander to make a flying object, with the shape of a flower watering, so that it can spray the antidote quickly, right?]

It is difficult to accurately control the range of rainfall in Taishi Bureau.

What if the antidote is harmful to the human body?
Although his proposal is not very efficient, it is highly accurate.

Let that thing fly while dropping the antidote.

No matter how far you throw it, it won't be that far.

Everyone: [When did the General Administration of Works have such a flying object? ]

No matter how powerful the production supervisor is, he cannot produce a finished product that meets Yun Ce's expectations in just a few days. Even the most ambitious King of Scrolls shook his head when he heard this.

Yun·Jiangzuo Supervisor Non-staff Member·Strategy: [Everything depends on human effort. 】

How do you know it won’t work without asking?

The Chief of Works must take advantage of this military achievement!

Today I saw that Lingzhu Zha has been shipped, but I am looking forward to Liubi Zha (originally the first batch, but I hesitated and returned it. On the last day, I downloaded it again and it became the fourth batch. I regret it so much and feel sad. Seeing so many pictures of Xiaohongshu, it is really suitable to be placed in the study as a decoration!)
