Chapter 236 Thunderstorm Convoy Monthly Pass Plus 14
Locusts infected by [Arcane Particles] should theoretically have produced a certain amount of mutation.
Individuals are larger, grow faster, are more reproductive, live longer, and so on.
As a result, the already severe locust plague will be larger and more severe than imagined.
Therefore, it is definitely impossible to suppress the reproduction rate of locusts by just relying on manpower to capture them, and there is no way to carry out large-scale pesticide spraying and insect control in Datang time and space.
It's not that Bai Yuqi can't refine poisons that can kill insects, but because he is worried that the large-scale use of pesticides will damage the ecology...... The creatures of this era are not resistant, and the ghost knows what the result will be when the "insecticide" refined by Bai Yuqi is sprayed.
Second, the scale of the locust plague is too large, and the scope of the impact is too wide, and it is simply too late to slowly develop targeted insecticides and refine enough weight.
Therefore, the only way to artificially exterminate locusts is through more unscientific means, to reduce the number of locusts as much as possible, and to weaken their breeding base.
The locusts that can fly have basically matured, and will soon be able to enter the reproduction stage of the next generation, at this time, the mother locusts with a belly of seeds will be eliminated, and killing one is equivalent to destroying thousands of small locusts!
When the [Flash Explosion] Rune Array, which was able to emit intense light radiation, could no longer attract a large number of locusts, the Wuji Sect disciple who was in charge of acting as a humanoid power bank breathed a sigh of relief and began to sit cross-legged in the carriage [meditating] to recover mana.
The disciple in charge of driving also re-drove the Tiangong bamboo card, and the lowered baffle pushed away the piles of locust corpses that were still trembling, and forcibly arched the vehicle out of the mountain of locust corpses, and began to turn towards the next area.
Because it is rare to see this kind of scene of thunder destroying locusts, Li Shimin, who was wearing sunglasses and was stimulated to tears by the strong light and was reluctant to blink, took off his sunglasses and wiped his tears, and asked Bai Yuqi curiously: "Do you want these locust corpses?"
"Why not?"
Bai Yuqi Shi Ran took off his sunglasses and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, what a pity to throw it away." ”
Of course, the locusts that were electrocuted did not taste as good as the live locusts drowned in thick salt water, so they would not be sent to the food festival to be fried and sold to the people.
But that doesn't mean the locust carcasses are useless.
When the "thunderstorm car" drove away, a large number of laborers entered the field.
Using shovels and bamboo baskets, the locust carcasses are transported back to the processing workshops on both sides of the Ku'an Highway for deep processing.
It is fried in oil and ground into flour, mixed with fried flour, bean dregs left over from oil extraction, and even meat floss processed from a large number of beef and mutton brought back from the Turkic steppe.
After being pressed into blocks, it is sent to the baking room to be thoroughly dried, which can be made into compressed military rations or disaster relief grains, and stored in case of emergency.
10% meat floss + 15% flour + 25% bean dregs + 40% locust powder + 9% dehydrated vegetable powder + 1% oil and salt and other condiments, compressed dry food processed.
A small piece can meet the nutritional needs of a soldier for a day, and after eating, drink some water and swell up to feel full, especially the taste is not bad, at least it smells fragrant, and it is also rich in various high-calorie nutrients, and the most important thing is that it can be stored for a very long time.
In case this locust plague exceeds expectations, these stored compressed dry food may be life-saving treasures, and it would be good to eat them to survive, and what is delicious or not?
If there are too many locust carcasses to be used up, they can be processed into various livestock feed, used to raise all kinds of poultry and livestock, and if it is really not good, they can be sprinkled in the field as fertilizer, and it will not be wasted anyway.
After taking the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers to watch a thunderstorm locust extermination performance, Bai Yuqi was ready to let them go back.
But I feel that the Tang monarchs and ministers who have not enjoyed it have to follow the thunderstorm convoy to continue to watch the locusts ...... I have to say that seeing a power grid clearing swarms of locusts does make OCD patients feel an inexplicable sense of pleasure.
If you like to watch it, follow it, anyway, Bai Yuqi doesn't have to go to court tomorrow, and he won't suffer if everyone stays up all night to cultivate immortals.
The thunderstorm convoy went all the way to clear the locust swarms along the way, and it took a whole night to wipe out the locust swarms in the surrounding area of the Taiji Imperial City.
In order to transport the locust corpses, the truck, which had also been running all night, pressed a colorful rainbow on the road, all of which were crushed locusts.
But it's not a pity, when the sun is shining, drying and turning into powder, and then a few heavy rains are flushed, and the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and all the fields will be fertilized in the fields.
By the time the sky was bright, the thunderstorm convoy that had circled the Taiji Imperial Capital for a whole circle returned to the original point, and there were only a few people left in the team who followed the rare sparse Lala, and young people like Li Shimin could still resist, and the older ones couldn't stay up in the middle of the night and were persuaded to go back to rest.
Even Li Shimin, who was young and strong, was secretly relieved when he saw that he had finally come back after a circle, thinking that it was going to be over.
The physical strength is still holding on, mainly because the eyes are a little unbearable.
Bai Yuqi clearly reminded them to wear sunglasses and try not to stare at the [flash burst] ball of light.
But they still can't help but want to stare at it, and their eyes are swollen like walnuts all night, and they can't stop crying all night, and they have to be blind if they go on like this!
The [Flash Blast] is a later version of a series of light spells such as [Dancing Light Technique], [Light Technique], [Bright Light Technique], [Flash Technique], etc., which was originally used as a light attack spell that can cause intense light radiation to burn living beings.
However, Bai Yuqi modified the spell and the runes of the alchemy substrate, condensing a strong enough ball of light to condense but not explode, which was used to attract locusts that were extremely sensitive to light.
But after returning to the original point, Bai Yuqi had no intention of returning to the Taiji Imperial Capital.
Instead, after getting off the bus, he watched a group of disciples of the Wuji Sect ride a thunderstorm convoy to the surrounding states and counties.
In the next period of time, they will continue to tour the counties where the locust plague is severe, and the locust swarm will be cleared until the locust plague is completely eradicated.
Li Shimin was puzzled by the fact that the thunderstorm convoy had left, and Bai Yuqi was still in place, looking at what was going in the direction of Zhongnan Mountain.
was about to ask out loud, but Bai Yuqi smiled and said, "It's here!"
Who's coming?
The Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers who had been cultivating immortals all night squinted their eyes and looked in the direction of Zhongnan Mountain, only to see another strange convoy appear in the morning light before dawn!
Before the convoy approached, everyone heard a strange noise, and at the same time, a dark cloud covering the sky followed behind the convoy, attacking in the direction of the Taiji Imperial Capital!
