Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Gu Qingling asked: "But why do they have to be buried 10 centimeters? Can't they be buried deeper or shallower? And they have to be placed in tidal flats, can't they be buried in drier or wetter places? They breed in summer and autumn, why? Don't choose to be in winter? Why can't we see larvae in winter, only in spring..."

Several questions were thrown in a row, and everyone used their brains one after another to answer in a hurry.

Everyone has taken agronomy classes and knows that animals, like plants, need the environment, temperature, humidity, and even the sun.

The absence of any one thing may cause the plant to fail to grow or die.

What about animals?
Although slightly different, some principles are the same.

"Because no matter whether it is deep or shallow, the eggs cannot hatch."

"Is it because the tidal flats are more suitable for humidity? Too dry places lack water, and too wet places can't hatch."

"Is it possible that the winter is too cold and the eggs are hatched after the weather is warm? Just right, isn't it because the hen stays inside that the eggs are warm?"

……

Compared with others, Yao Jiuye has read the special "Insect Observation Diary", and has a much deeper understanding of locusts than everyone else.

Regarding the living environment of locusts and the conditions required for reproduction, it is very clear.

Yao Jiuye said with bright eyes: "It's like interrupting a hen when it is hatching. One cold and one hot, alternating hot and cold, the eggs will soon become dead eggs, and no chicks will hatch. Locust eggs Also, as long as we destroy its incubation environment, the locust eggs will not be able to hatch."

"Even if there is no way to destroy all of them, even if only a part of them is destroyed, that is a great achievement." Seeing the hope, the twenty-second prince Li Zheng said happily, "The locusts will become a disaster because of their large number. So we have already solved some of them when they hatched, which is definitely a great achievement."

"Even if some of them hatch, and there is no food suitable for them to eat, they can still starve to death. Even if they don't starve to death, it's okay to starve them thin so that they don't have the strength to fly so far."

……

For the latter words, someone answered without Gu Qingling's guidance.

"When locusts were eggs, we destroyed their hatching environment. When they hatched and had nothing to eat, and when they grew up, they encountered a large number of natural enemies... I don't believe it. They can still become adults in this way. disaster?"

"It's definitely not going to happen. This chain of rings, unless their lives are particularly hard, they can't live forever. Survival of the fittest in the animal world is very cruel."

"Then let's discuss now, what we can do in each link."

……

Immediately afterwards, they began to fill in their "locust extermination plan" on the board.

The first stage destroys the growth environment of locust eggs.

Although it has not been 100% confirmed, judging from the influence of temperature and humidity on the growth conditions of animals and plants, they can destroy the original geographical features of the tidal flats by digging the ground and changing the tidal flats into ponds, so as to destroy the hatching environment of locusts the goal of.

In the second stage, the locusts successfully hatch (larvae to adults) stage.

As mentioned earlier, the growth of locusts is inseparable from food.When they are young and can't fly that far, you can reduce the types of plants they eat nearby and replant plants they don't eat.

According to the currently known research results, locusts do not eat soybeans, alfalfa, fruit trees and other forest trees, which are all within the scope of reference.

The third stage is the stage of smooth growth of locusts (before the plague of locusts).

The locust has grown up and can fly, but not too far.At this time, the natural enemies of locusts, such as frogs and birds, can be used to eliminate them.

Among them, chickens and ducks are within the controllable range, which can encourage large-scale breeding of locust origin and frequent occurrence areas.

……

The board, being filled little by little, gradually took on its original appearance.

Gu Qingling looked at the board, and then at them who were discussing seriously, with a smile on his face.

Gu Qingling naturally knew how terrible the locust plague was.

In the memory of the original owner, she had experienced such a dark time, but she looked like a young lady, a wife of an aristocratic family, and she only "heard" rather than witnessed it with her own eyes.

The original owner also lost and donated items, wanted to help those victims, and prayed to God, hoping that the disaster would pass quickly...

It's not that people in this era don't want to solve the problem of locust plagues, it's just that they haven't found a way.

Gu Qingling has the memories of her previous life, she knows how her country prevents locust plagues.

From biological control, agricultural control to chemical control, various means.

She wants to bring those advanced thoughts and scientific ideas to this world.

But she also knew that she could not solve all the problems with her own strength.

At the same time, she also needs to find a reasonable "source" for these things.

Books became her best choice.

Therefore, she trained a large number of book editors, established her own bookstore, her own bookstore... and directly created a complete upstream and downstream industrial chain.

She needs to fully control this industrial chain in her own hands, so that she can export what she wants.

Among them, "Insect Observation Diary" and "Agronomic Strange Talk" are one of them.

Some of the knowledge about insects that Yao Jiuye and the princes and grandchildren have learned, especially the various knowledge points about locusts, were provided by Gu Qingling, and some were recorded by the editors and agronomists organized by Gu Qingling. , Experimentally obtained.

She knew that after these books went to the market, there would definitely not be those Four Books and Five Classics, and the biographies of famous scholars would not be observed by readers.

It may be mixed with some third-rate books and become a "miscellaneous book" in everyone's hands.

But even so, so what?

No matter how boring, weird, or unworthy the contents of the book seem, Gu Qingling believes that the world is so big, there will always be one or two people who will notice the contents, and will find a way to verify it. is not true.

As long as someone wants to ask for proof, then...

Is she still afraid that they will not be able to find a solution for locust plague control?

She didn't directly tell them how to prevent and control the locust plague, but take a look, isn't someone already "cleaning up" now?
It's just that what Gu Qingling didn't expect was that Yao Jiuye, the twenty-second prince Li Zheng, the great emperor's grandson Li An, and others would take the lead.

Somewhat unexpected, but also seems...reasonable.

In the world, who else has an idea that is as close to their own as they are, and is more able to accept the contents of these books?

It took several days before Yao Jiuye and the others finally finished the board.

After getting it out, they all felt a little incredible.

They don't know whether the content they sorted out is correct, and they don't know whether the "locust extermination plan" that they sorted out is feasible.But they thought, since they have sorted it out, they should publish it in the newspaper and let the people of the world discuss it together.

There are so many smart people in the world, they don't believe it, and they can't solve a small locust plague?
