Chapter 760: Yellow Ant Harvest!
Hearing Su Huai say that he didn't know whether this "treating insects with insects" was effective, everyone looked at each other.
"Hehe, isn't Mr. Su's saying this equivalent to saying it in vain?" Quinn smiled slightly, looking at Su Huai's appearance, it was like watching a joke.
Dean Ebo gritted his teeth, thinking that there was no other way now, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor!
"Minister Sa, now that the area affected by the disaster is so large, Monsanto wants to produce the latest pesticides on such a large scale, it is not a matter of this, two weeks, we might as well conduct some other experiments at the same time, and our agricultural college will first use various insect control methods in various counties in Ohio to see which one is the most effective. ”
Minister Sa also felt that it made sense when he heard it, thought about it, and then nodded and said:
"Alright, then you can go your separate ways, Mr. Quinn, and you will be responsible for starting to use your strength in Indiana and Illino first...... No, it's a new type of pesticide, and Dean Ebo is leading the people in the College of Agriculture to try organic farming in various counties in Ohio. ”
After speaking, he glanced at everyone:
"After a month, we'll see which works best and continue to use which. ”
Quinn was confident and slow, nodded and smiled, "Okay, this is the fairest." ”
However, Dean Ebo was pale, his fists clenched slightly, and he didn't say a word, knowing in his heart that in this competition, the chances of the College of Agriculture were slim.
As for Su Huai, he doesn't see himself as a stakeholder in this agricultural disaster.
After all, he is not a New European, and he cannot influence the decisions of these New Europeans in terms of position.
However, he had already learned before that Ohio is the main corn in China and Asian countries, so how much can be made, how much.
Moreover, he secretly observed and found that the confrontation between the Agricultural College and Monsanto was extremely intense.
Although Dean Ebo is a relatively strong person, he has the integrity of a scientist, and he hates Minister Sa and Quinn, the scum of collusion between officials and businessmen.
Su Huaixin thought to himself, what would he do if he was Dean Ebo?
Strong pesticides can eliminate insect plagues and solve the food crisis, but they will cause soil and corn pollution, and the long-term impact will be innumerable for ordinary people.
But if not, the corn harvest will be out this year.
This is indeed a dilemma.
After getting off the train, Dean Ebo gave everyone instructions on their work, then turned to Su Huai and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Su, I will let all the universities and agricultural colleges in North America go out to catch the yellow lynx. ”
"Dean Ebo, do you believe what is recorded in the ancient Chinese books?" asked Su Huai curiously.
"I don't believe it. Dean Ebo's pale face said with a wry smile:
"But I sincerely hope that you, the ancient Chinese people, are right this time...... Mr. Su, you are familiar with ancient Chinese studies, do you think this yellow ant is useful?"
Su Huai unconsciously looked at the starry sky, and said with reverence on his face:
"I believe that the knowledge that my ancestors have brought to me so far has never disappointed me. ”
Dean Ebo also unconsciously looked at the sky and said, "But this time, your Chinese ancestors want to save our new Europeans...... Maybe they won't bless us. ”
"Rest assured. Su Huai turned back and smiled at Dean Ebo: "They are not racist. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed, and their depressed mood was expressed a lot.
Su Huai turned his head and asked Ren Na at this time: "How many people does the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce have that can be mobilized in New Europe?"
"There are 7,800 people. Renna did the math in her heart.
"Okay, gather all the idle manpower, and let's artificially breed yellow lynx ants. ”
"It's going to cost a lot of money. Renna gave Dean Ebo a deliberate look.
Su Huai smiled: "It's good to go all out, now is a great opportunity to promote our Harvard University's organic agriculture technology." ”
Dean Ebo glanced at Su Huai gratefully and nodded slightly.
Now any words of gratitude are not enough, and Dean Ebo has already regarded Su Huai as a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side with Monsan.
But Dean Ebo didn't hear it, and Su Huai whispered to Ren Na at the end and said, "Maybe we can make a small fortune this time." ”
In the evening, everyone began to be busy in Ohio, teaching their own magic in various agricultural colleges, smoking smoke, burying herbs by digging ditches, but Su Huai didn't seem to do anything here.
Because he had to wait a week for the farms in the county he was responsible for to stop using pesticides.
He had to wait until the lethality of the pesticide was completely gone, otherwise the yellow ant would die if it was put on it, and it would not work at all.
And this week, Su Huai and the dean of Ebo New European Agricultural Universities, and various employees of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce organized the collection of yellow lynx ants in various places.
To Su Huai's surprise, Dean Ebo did not lie to him, this kind of yellow ant, which originally lived only in the early subtropics, is now distributed everywhere in New Europe, and most of them are concentrated in various New Europe Natural Parks.
This also greatly facilitates their team's collection work.
On the seventh day of their arrival in Ohio, the Agricultural College received reports that their corn crops were rehydrated with only 7 to 15 percent nutrients in Ohio counties...... Barely reaching the usual level of about 30 percent.
If you go down here, it won't take more than a month for the corn crop to wither and wither.
On the other hand, Monsanto used the latest pesticides to kill less than 18 percent of the cotton scales killed by the latest pesticides in Indiana counties...... The resistance of this cotton scale is far greater than Monsan's expectations.
In the endless corn fields of Ohio, Dean Ebo and Su Huai's skin has darkened a lot from a week's sun, and the two are discussing various details of placing yellow lynx ants.
After receiving these latest reports, Dean Ebo's face changed completely: "Broken......"
Su Huai comforted: "Their pesticides don't have much effect, and we have a great hope of catching up." ”
"I didn't expect the mutant cottonbug to be so resistant this time, if Monsan's new pesticide is not effective......" Dean Ebo took a deep breath:
"From what I know about Monsan, they're definitely going to use a more toxic formula...... This time, the corn crop will contain more pesticides. ”
"How can they have the guts?" Su Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, DDT is already poisonous enough, and even more poisonous ones need to be used?
"For the sake of money, what do they not dare, anyway, the Ministry of Agriculture will wipe their butts, and exports are also small Latin American countries, even if there is a problem, they dare not object. Dean Ebo's voice trembled with anger.
Su Huai knew that Dean Ebo was a person with a conscience, so he could only say: "After all, our strength is limited, just do our best." ”
As he was talking, he suddenly heard an excited voice behind him: "Su Dud...... Teacher, we have a bumper harvest of yellow ants~~!!"
Renna was sassy and heroic, carrying a glass box with two ant nests inside, crawling full of ants.
"How can there be so many?" Su Huai looked at the ant nest in surprise.
"Just put together two nests, and there are two queens in them. Jenna smiled: "In a week, they gave birth to almost 70 worker ants, more than double what you expected?"
"So fierce?" Su Huai smacked his tongue, thinking to himself, this yellow lynx ant is eighty percent because of the cruel environment of the catastrophe, and its vitality and reproductive ability have been greatly strengthened.
"Let's experiment now. Su Huai said eagerly.
