Chapter 129: The Two Sides of Pesticides
Sun Simiao leaned on Zhang Yi's arm like this, his eyes staring at a small piece of the world in front of him motionlessly, compared to the previous color of pain, it was the opposite now, but the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he let out a slight sigh and then was silent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Yi was very clear, the reason why Sun Simiao didn't speak was completely in despair, and he couldn't see any hope in such a large-scale locust plague.
The carriage was still speeding away, and there was no intention of slowing down at all, and the two of them quietly watched everything outside the window.
It's not that I don't want to stop it, but I can't stop it at all, even if I stop one person or a group of people, I can't stop more people.
An hour and a half!
When the carriage passed the bridge, there were far fewer locusts, and there was nothing they needed here, so there was no interest in this magnificent city.
"Dao Chief, are you alright?" Zhang Yi carefully removed the paper ball from Sun Simiao's ear, and then asked.
For this stubborn old man, Zhang Yi no longer knows what to say.
Sun Simiao took a hard breath, but his right hand tightly touched the position of the pesticide bottle on his chest, and said to Zhang Yi weakly: "Do you think this thing can work?" ”
It's not that Sun Simiao doesn't know the effect of pesticides, on the contrary, pesticides were originally led by him personally, and even those imperial doctors probably don't know the power of this bottle of pesticides better than him. But now he actually asked Zhang Yi, who had not participated in the development at all, and he was really frightened by the terrifying locust swarm just now.
So much so that he was originally full of confidence in pesticides, but at this time he couldn't help but have an irresistible thought.
"If there's one thing in this world that can extinguish those damn locusts out there, it's in your arms!" Zhang Yi nodded affirmatively, and then said: "You have done experiments, so I naturally don't need to worry about the efficacy of pesticides." As long as there are enough such pesticides, I believe that even if there are more locusts, I am afraid that they will only be destroyed. ”
"But..."Sun Simiao is still a little entangled... The old man's hand slowly raised, pointed out the window, and said, "But there are too many locusts!" ”
Regarding Sun Simiao's scruples, Zhang Yi knows very well that as Sun Simiao said, locusts are overwhelming, and if it is just the most primitive capture, even if it mobilizes the people of the whole Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to capture it cleanly.
However, as a later generation of time-travelers, no one knows better than Zhang Yi how lethal pesticides are to insects. Even in later generations, those locusts that have evolved resistance under the elimination of pesticides from generation to generation are still difficult to escape the extermination of pesticides.
If dichlorvos doesn't work, there will be dimethoate, and if dimethoate doesn't work, we also have Flandan, and Flandan can also develop other drugs if it produces drug resistance......
In a word, no matter how many bugs there are, they are only low-level creatures that rely on instinct, and perhaps because of the group effect, they can get away with it for a while, but in the continuous efforts of people, all this is just a joke.
Of course, the pesticides developed by Sun Simiao are certainly not as effective as the pesticides of later generations, but the locusts of Datang have not been baptized by pesticides to become resistant. Zhang Yi estimated that even such a small bottle in Sun Simiao's arms, if it was mixed with water and sprayed, it would definitely be able to eliminate all insects within a radius of one acre.
Zhang Yi thought for a while and said to Sun Simiao: "You just saw one or two locusts killed by pesticides when you were doing experiments and didn't feel anything, but I want to tell you that this thing is definitely 100,000 times more terrifying than you imagined!"
It is no exaggeration to say that if there are enough pesticides, not to mention just locusts, even any insect in the entire Datang will be on its eradication list. Because it's so scary, I hope you'll be cautious! ”
Zhang Yi said very seriously, at least Sun Simiao had never seen Zhang Yi so serious.
"What do you mean...... This thing can kill! Sun Simiao immediately thought of a reason.
If pesticides only kill insects, then the pesticide is definitely a good thing, but it is naturally possible for something that can kill insects to kill people. As a doctor who has studied drugs quite thoroughly, Sun Simiao knows very well that medicine often has two sides.
For example, a certain flavor of medicinal herbs is obviously poisonous, but when it is combined with another flavor or two flavors of medicinal herbs, it becomes a good medicine that can cure diseases.
And the same goes for pesticides!
There are no locusts, and in this regard, it must be good medicine, but if it is used to kill people?
Obviously, that's poison! Although the efficacy of pesticides has been tested by them to the extent that the human body can accept it after dilution, since there is a pioneer of pesticides, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will start to develop poisons specifically for a certain purpose.
It is conceivable that if such a thing as poison is used on the battlefield, then that is the real natural disaster......
Thinking of this, Sun Simiao also became hesitant, he actually didn't know anything good now. Li Er is the Son of Heaven, that is the real dragon, and the dragon represents majesty and destruction!
It is conceivable that if Li Er tasted the sweetness of pesticides in this locust plague, he would definitely send more people to continue to study other types of poisons, and in order to deal with the enemies around the Tang Dynasty, he was even very likely to use this inhumane killing method.
"Are we really going to the palace?" Sun Simiao became a little hesitant.
He didn't know if it was right or wrong.
However, the carriage did not leave time for the two to continue their discussion, and by the time the sound of the eleventh moon sounded in their ears, the palace had arrived.
This time, the two did not enter through the side door, but walked through the main gate, and under the leadership of Yue 11, they didn't even have any inspection at all, and the two saw Li Er with a heavy face.
"The minister (grass people) has seen Your Majesty!"
When he saw the two of them, Li Er immediately seemed to be in good spirits, and a smile instantly rose on his face, and he said to Sun Simiao with a laugh: "Mr. Sun, the imperial doctors have achieved a big thing?" ”
Being able to meet Sun Simiao here was definitely something that Li Er had never thought of at all. It is like a hungry man walking in the desert, who is already desperate, but when he stops, there is a spring rain, and the excitement in his heart at this time must be full of surprise.
Of course, in fact, when he saw Sun Simiao's face, Li Er actually knew that Sun Simiao and the others had succeeded.
"The grass people and the doctors of the Tai Hospital have lived up to His Majesty's high expectations and have successfully developed pesticides today!" Sun Simiao nodded, and then took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, but his face was blue and red.
Immediately, a eunuch stepped forward and prepared to hand over the porcelain vase to Li Er.
But just as the eunuch was about to stretch out his hand, Sun Simiao held the porcelain vase tightly in his hand, and then looked directly at Li Er, whose face was flushed from excessive excitement in front of him!
