1254. Either the worm dies or I live (5/5)
"In dry years, rivers and lakes shrink and low-lying areas are exposed, providing more suitable places for locusts to lay eggs. On the other hand, www.biquge.info plants grown in arid environments have a low water content, and locusts feed on them, which grows faster and has a stronger reproductive ability......"
Wang Bo didn't want to listen to these introductions anymore, so he turned off the TV and stood up upset.
Eva came over with a big belly and brought him a cup of coffee, and said softly: "Don't worry, my dear, the locusts haven't gone south yet, maybe the Ministry of Agriculture will find a way to clean them up soon." ”
Wang Bo said distressedly: "You know, New Zealand is too small, and it won't take long for the locusts to come south. Sunset Town is too tempting for them, we have a lot of pasture here, we have water here, they definitely want to come here. ”
"But they can't lay eggs with us, they don't want to stay in Sunset, it's in their nature, they just want to destroy us," Eva said. ”
Indeed, during the Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese compared the Japanese to locusts, and there are many similarities between the two sides.
For example, the Japanese were frantically plundering China's wealth and resources and killing Chinese frantically, rather than wanting to occupy China and survive forever on this land.
Locusts also have a natural hatred for beautiful places, they must lay eggs on land with less than 50% vegetation cover, and if a place is beautiful and there is no bare land, locusts cannot reproduce.
However, they will destroy these beautiful places, eat up the greenery, and leave bare land, so that there will be a place to live?
At night, Wang Bo did not rest, but led his farmers and cowboys to prepare for the battle, and he ignored the regulations of the New Zealand government, and had prepared several illegal methods to kill locusts.
New Zealand has a lot of high-efficiency, low-toxicity, low-residue pesticides, but there are no specific drugs for locusts, which creates difficulties for farmers and ranchers.
Fortunately, Mottac had a solution, and he had stockpiled a suspension made from pyrethroids and mineral oil emulsions, which could be sprayed to attach to the dust in the air, and then enter the locusts' bodies, and then kill them.
Wang Bo was overjoyed when he saw this insecticide, patted Motak on the shoulder and said, "You have done a great job, man, I will reward you, but how did you come up with the idea of stocking up on this insecticide?" ”
Motak smiled bitterly: "Everything is God's will, I thought that our farm has just been opened, and it is estimated that it will attract a lot of pests, so I prepared it." Unexpectedly, there are not many insects in Sunset Town, so it has been useless. ”
This agent is a suspension contact agent, which is diluted with water and sprayed out, which can stay in the air, and then penetrate into the body of the insect after contact with the locust epidermis or appendage, or corrode the waxy layer of the insect body, or block the valve, and then kill the pest.
However, Wang Bo was happy and encountered two problems, one was that there was not enough medicine, and Motak expected that pests would come to the farm, but he did not expect a locust plague to break out.
The second question is how to spray, the farm area is too large, it is better to need agricultural planes to spray pesticides, can they be rented planes before, where to rent now? Farms and ranches are desperately in need of farm planes to help.
Fortunately, Sunset Town has a Hercules super fire extinguisher, which can be sprayed out through the fire extinguisher after mixing pesticides and water, but the effect is definitely not as good as that of agricultural aircraft.
But this was the only way to work, Wang Bo decided to use it, and then the fire extinguishers of the town's fire brigade roared in.
Bo Dad also came to come up with an idea, he said: "Back twenty or thirty years, our hometown has also had locust plagues, especially during the ten years of disasters, locusts have been wreaking havoc. ”
Wang Bo asked, "How did you deal with it?" ”
Bo Daddy racked his brains to recall: "I remember using trichlorfon powder, which was sprinkled on weeds and crops at that time, and then sprinkled on the hay with dichlorvos to dry, ignited and smoked to death. ”
Wang Bo smiled bitterly, this method is useless, whether it is trichlorfon or dichlorvos, New Zealand is not allowed to use this highly toxic pesticide.
A day later, the locust swarm was divided into two routes, one north to plague the North Island, and the other south to Sunset, Queenstown, and Dunedin.
Wang Bo played the slogan 'Either the worm dies or I live', asking his subordinates to 'fight to the death and not retreat', "We must withstand the attacks of these bitches, we must kill them!" ”
Peterson reminded him: "Boss, the slogan is wrong, either the worm dies or I live, doesn't that mean the same thing?" ”
Lao Wang said: "Of course I know this is a meaning, what I mean is to kill the worms and then we will live well!" ”
Peterson smiled awkwardly, "That's right, sir." ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the New Zealand government and the Ministry of Agriculture finally called a special session of Parliament to urgently discuss whether the strict control of pesticides and some highly toxic drugs could be temporarily lifted to kill these locusts.
When Wang Bo learned the news, he was angry and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, when is this still a meeting? This is not good for democracy, and it is very difficult to hold a meeting to discuss everything, which is a great delay in the opportunity.
Xiao Meng's eyes are very good, he flies in the air, and then sees the locusts coming from the air.
All birds are the natural enemies of locusts, and without Wang Bo's order, it will go up with its sheep and parrots to meet the battle.
The parrots were full of confidence since they cleaned up the Tui birds, and felt that under the leadership of Big Brother Xiaomeng, they were invincible and invincible, and no one had to be afraid.
There are too many locusts, this is the result of several divisions of troops, but Wang Bo looked around, and what he saw in his field of vision were dots and dots, all of which were flying locusts.
It was as if there had been a sandstorm, and when the locust swarm arrived, the whole sky became dark.
The wings of countless locusts flapped the air and made a 'buzzing' sound, and the sound merged together, and the eardrums of the people who shook were faintly painful!
The parrot swarm under the command of Xiao Meng had a hand-to-hand battle with the locust swarm for the first time, and they had an absolute advantage in a head-to-head confrontation, and it was too simple to clean up the locusts.
But the number of locusts is terrifying, they are very crazy, they do not hide from the predation of the birds at all, so they hit up one after another, crackling and crashing into Xiao Meng and the parrots.
The army commander who was squatting on Wang Bo's shoulder retracted his wings when he saw this scene, and muttered: "Ah, it hurts to watch!" ”
It really hurts, and the parrots finally got a taste of how they felt when they attacked a sheep in the first group, so many locusts hit their bodies continuously, and some parrots were so weak that they could even be knocked over in the air! (To be continued.) )
