Siam Bangkok.

More than a dozen local farmers are looking at the rice fields not far away with sad faces.

The rice, which was supposed to be green, was now covered with brown spots on the leaves and stalks, and it looked sick.

Several agricultural experts who were hired to come over at this time led people to inspect and sample the rice fields.

"Nahak, didn't you use a fungicide?" One of the middle-aged agricultural experts asked the farmer who took the lead, Huck ? Banchai asked.

Huck? Banchai wiped his sweat and explained hurriedly: "Kun Naiba Duoqi, we have already used fungicides, and we have beaten them three times. ”

Agricultural expert Badoqi? Junla Nara looked at Huck in confusion? Seeing that the other party didn't look like he wanted to lie, he then asked, "Bring me the pesticides you used." ”

"Okay." Huck? Banchai turned his head and called a few farmers to get the pesticides.

After a while, two farmers came over with a large bag of pesticides, and there were several pesticides in it. Junlanala picked up the pesticides and checked them out and found that there was nothing wrong with them.

Odd! These drugs are all inhibiting and killing rice blast, since there is no problem with fungicides, why are fungicides ineffective?

With the sampling and inspection over, Badokai? Looking at the results, Junranara explained to the farmers:

"These rice have been preliminarily confirmed to have rice blast, as for the fungicide has no effect, it may be that the previous fungicide has developed resistance, you can try other fungicides."

"Kunnai, can you introduce some suitable fungicides?" Huck asked hurriedly.

"No problem." Baduoqi hurriedly said some new fungicides, and after collecting the business trip expenses, Baduoqi left with people and samples.

And the local farmers can only work as live horse doctors to buy new fungicides.

Hucker's farm employs farmers who wear simple masks and carry buckets of fungicide on their backs, and while holding up a spray pole to evenly spray the fungicide onto the paddy fields.

Other farmers do the same.

Looking at the sick rice, Huck prayed with his hands together while chanting, "Buddha bless!" Bodhisattva bless! ”

……

As soon as he returned to the institute, the agricultural expert Ba Duoqi, who returned with the samples, immediately arranged for the staff to test the samples.

As a traditional rice-growing country, and Siam is one of the four Asian tigers, the research on rice is okay, and it is not much behind China.

After some laboratory testing, Baduoqi looked at the report in his hand and felt bad, and immediately arranged for personnel to conduct genetic testing.

Sure enough, it was found that the fungus had mutated, and the mutation was very terrifying, and it had very strong resistance to most of the fungicides on the market.

Baduo immediately wrote a paper to publish the discovery.

Immediately, other countries suffering from rice blast also started testing, and immediately found that the rice in their country was also a mutant fungus.

At this time, Southeast Asia and Tianzhu reacted.

Faced with this unkillable fungus, many farmers are desperate, especially those who depend on farming for their livelihood.

Tianzhu is also a tropical country, and the dreaded rice blast has spread through the air, spreading to various rice-growing areas in Tianzhu in less than a month.

As the most populous country, Tianzhu's total grain output is only about 310 million tons, equivalent to about 50 percent of China's.

Their domestic rice also accounts for one-third of the proportion, with an annual output of 110 million tons, making it the world's second largest rice producer after China.

Once the rice production is completely out of production, it is scary to think about.

This means that about 30 percent of the population in their country will lack food supply, and Tianzhu itself does not have much grain reserves, and the people do not have the habit of accumulating grain.

If there is no harvest of early rice grains this year, the consequence is that famine will come out of nowhere, reminiscent of the previous frenzied purchase of grain by Western countries, and the current rice blast echoes from beginning to end, and suddenly magnifies the terrible impact of rice blast.

Especially in a large country with a large population like Tianzhu, the total population of the country is more than one billion, and there is a shortage of 30% of the food, that is, 500 million people have no food.

This is not 5 million people, not 50 million people, but 500 million people, and in the face of this terrible shortage, there is no country in the world that can provide 100 million tons of food to Tianzhu.

Similarly, Southeast Asia is not optimistic at this time, originally considering the soaring international food prices this year, they all coincidentally increased the rice planting area, but now they are encountering rice blast.

……

Eyes back home.

The Netherworld has held an emergency meeting for three consecutive days to discuss how to deal with this rice plague incident.

A series of measures were quickly taken to minimize the damage caused by the rice plague.

Nanning, Gui Province.

The rice that has just been planted outside the suburbs has obvious brown spots, Zhang Suqing, the director of the Baishi Rural Cooperative, looked at the report in his hand.

He immediately called a dozen clever young men to the agricultural technology hall.

"Brother Zhang, why did you suddenly call everyone over." Tan Xiaoqiang leaned over and asked.

The others also chattered in a mess, and Zhang Suqing knocked on the table: "Sit down, there is something important." ”

Seeing Zhang Suqing's serious expression, Tan Xiaoqiang and the others didn't dare to coax blindly, and hurriedly found a chair to sit down.

"You are all young people, let me give you a look at the situation first...... Zhang Suqing carefully recounted the rice blast in Southeast Asia and Qiongzhou, and turned on the projector on the side to play some news and videos.

Grunt! Tan Xiaoqiang was frightened and asked nervously, "Brother Zhang, what now?" The land has been planted. ”

"Yes!"

"Is there a cure?"

“……”

The crowd was in a hurry.

"Quiet, listen to me." Zhang Suqing pressed his hand, and then continued: "The above already knows everyone's difficulties, and now the subsidy of 500 yuan per mu of rice has been planted, and everyone has shoveled the rice seedlings and planted corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes instead. ”

“…… Wouldn't that be too little?" Tan Xiaoqiang asked hesitantly.

For this kind of bastard who beats snakes and sticks, Zhang Suqing directly knocked him on the brain, and said angrily: "To be honest, this is the treatment only available to members of the cooperative, and the others can only be replanted by themselves." ”

Although the rural cooperatives paid the price this time, they also successfully used the rice blast incident to expand the influence of the rural cooperatives.

In particular, those farmers in Qiongzhou, who had already seen the rice fields turn yellow, saw that some farmers who joined rural cooperatives were receiving subsidies, and hurriedly asked to join rural cooperatives.

Rural cooperatives rapidly expanded in Qiongzhou, Gui Province, and Lingnan.

In particular, the rural cooperatives in Lingnan have benefited from the huge amount of electricity provided by Jinwu No. 1, and the internal electricity price given by the State Grid to the rural cooperatives is 0.2 gross per kilowatt hour.

This electricity price is about 15~18 times lower than the previous agricultural electricity price, and even the agricultural subsidy electricity price in poor areas is about 8~9 times of this electricity price.

This ultra-low electricity price is conducive to the development of rural cooperatives and the absorption of members, but rural cooperatives and Huanong Group are also very strict in this regard.

Because this electricity price is definitely like someone taking advantage of loopholes, such as using this electricity for commercial industrial production, this aspect must definitely be cracked down, and people cannot take advantage of loopholes, and at this time artificial intelligence monitoring will work.
