Pest pests may sound like a very old, distant, and unrelated term for modern city dwellers.

In fact, in Su Huai's original time and space, it was something that often happened.

In 2000, the area of insect infestation in Inner Mongolia reached more than 60 million mu, accounting for about 78 percent of the sown area of the whole region, of which 1.125 million mu of crops have been lost.

In 2012, insect plague occurred in the first-generation grassland borer farmland in Shanxi Province, covering an area of 5.1 million mu.

In 2017, there was a large-scale outbreak of grassland insect pests in Xinjiang, with an area of 28.672 million mu in the whole region, and the density of locusts in some seriously affected areas reached as much as 1,710 per square meter.

There is also the potato beetle plague in the eastern United States, the drug-resistant weevil plague in Texas, the red bollworm plague,

Every few years, horrific insect plagues have caused serious reductions in crop yields.

And these events, in Su Huai's original time and space, could not become big news, the main reason is that the whole world's grain production is still very rich.

The impact caused by the disaster and the reduction of production is at most that the international price of a certain grain has risen, and there are no disastrous consequences for the lives of most people.

But in this time and space, it is different, due to the catastrophe, the arable land area of the whole world has been greatly reduced, and now the world's food production is only barely enough to maintain the normal operation after the population explosion.

Under this premise, if the new Europe, which accounts for 40% of the world's corn production, is to drop its production significantly, it will not only cause a shortage of grain in South American countries, which rely on imported corn as the main food, but also cause a livestock crisis in importing countries that use corn as the main feed in various parts of Asia.

In this time and space, in the tight food supply, various agricultural product industries are like dominoes, and in the face of sudden shocks in corn supply, other industries will also be affected.

As for the final extent of this impact, it depends on the situation of the three corn states in New Europe, which have 40% of the world's production.

Due to the urgency of time, flight tickets can no longer be sold, and everyone can only go to the train station to do the train, but fortunately, the train transportation in New Europe is very developed, and the direct train to Ohio only takes 7 hours, which is not much slower than the plane.

On the way to the train station, Dean Ebo's laptop was constantly updated with the latest data, and due to the unstable network transmission, he had to stop the car every time and fully receive the data before the car was restarted.

As the data was updated, more and more people were ritualizing to the gravity of the situation.

"I have asked people to find a shipping company to transport all the organic pesticides tested by our agricultural college to the affected area. ”

After arriving at the train station, Professor Anzai's voice trembled after calling the landline.

No one thought that there would be a sudden outbreak of such a large-scale scale scale insect disaster, and the biggest problem now is that there are dozens of scale insects, and any kind of species that has mutated resistance is possible, which makes everyone have no bottom in their hearts.

Su Huai also tried his best to calm himself down and clear his thoughts as quickly as possible, what can he do now?

There is no relevant pesticide information in his memory, and even if there is, there may not be one in this time and space, and is there any other way to deal with the insect plague?

While waiting for the train, Su Huai pondered for a long time, constantly mobilizing his memory abilities to find relevant information in the vast knowledge base.

He found five or six of the most reliable pieces of information, but only if he could first identify the species of the scale worm.

Therefore, Su Huai didn't say anything, and kept waiting for the fax from the personnel in Ohio.

Finally, when the train was approaching, the public officials also received a fax of the relevant information with the help of the station staff.

"What kind of variety?" said all the professors of agronomy.

"The train is coming, let's get on the train first, and then we will have a meeting to study it. Director Ebo did not answer, and led more than 20 people to the train first.

After getting on the train, the mood of the people was a little more stable, because no matter how urgent the matter was, they didn't have the wings to fly now, so they had plenty of time to formulate a countermeasure.

At this time, Dean Ebo did not immediately convene a meeting, but asked a few seats to be vacated and whispered to everyone:

"Deputy Minister Sark of the Federal Department of Agriculture, who is in Maine City for a meeting, has been informed about this, and the next stop is Maine City where they will be on our train...... The response to this insect plague is under his command. ”

Hearing the news, Anthy and the others were very excited.

Once the Federal Ministry of Agriculture takes a fancy to whose patented technology is promoted in the Federation, it will make it both famous and rich, and its status in the academic community will be greatly improved.

Anthy and the others all looked at each other, and they all thought in their hearts that they must behave well later.

Twenty minutes later, the train arrived in Maine City, where Deputy Secretary Sark got into the carriage with a group of officials from the Department of Agriculture.

Before the train meeting began, everyone introduced each other, and Dean Ebo attached great importance to Su Huai and took the initiative to introduce him to Sack and others:

"This is the Su Huai I mentioned to you, Mr. Su. Dean Ebo emphasized:

"The artificial ecosystem that Minister Sa particularly fancied last time was Mr. Su's masterpiece. ”

"Dean Ebo has won the award. Su Huai wanted to make a big difference about Ebo, this person was the surface, but one was one, two was two, and his evaluation of himself was very fair, and he praised himself a lot.

Although Sa's brown hair was shiny and shiny, his face was wrinkled, and his beard was completely white, which must have been dyed.

Su Huai was supposed to show respect to his elders, but now that he was a representative of Huaxia, he just nodded slightly to say hello.

This action made several officials of the Ministry of Agriculture feel that this Su Shengren was a little arrogant, and they really didn't know why Ebo brought him here.

After a few polite words, I saw a middle-aged white man in a brown suit and tie walking up, and he saw a strong wind blowing, which caused a subtle change in the atmosphere of the entire venue.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Quinn, the technical director of Monsan, this is Professor Ebo of the Harvard Agricultural School, and Mr. Su ......," Minister Sa introduced to both sides.

The meeting attended by Minister Saxan was a collaboration with Monsan, a multinational agricultural company.

Seeing this Quinn who was looking forward to himself in the carriage and looked like a new European white elite, the black dean Ebo, couldn't help but flash a trace of disgust in his eyes.

Looking at Su Huai's curiosity, Dr. Tian next to him obviously couldn't hold back, and pouted over there:

"Mr. Su, you may not know that if it weren't for Monsanto's abuse of herbicides and pesticides in order to occupy the global market, there would not have been so many agricultural disasters in recent years. ”

Su Huai squinted: "I've heard of ......"
