Chapter 361: Food War (1/3)

"Interesting, it's a real creature war."

Reading the report, Ian nodded with interest: "But the plants of this world are much tougher than the earth in the previous life, and ordinary viruses, bacteria and fungi will not be of much use. ”

"Sublimation plants, in particular, have a essentia structure that can self-correct in addition to biomass. If you want to get it right the first time, the chances are extremely low. ”

At that time, the seven bananas of rice on the earth were once extinct because of the parasporic species of Fusarium oxysporum. This facultative parasitic fungus can infect a wide variety of plants and can remain in the soil for many years, making it impossible to grow crops on contaminated land.

However, it is also for the self-replicating crop such as bananas, and although ordinary plants will be affected, it is not difficult to recover.

And in Terra, the 'rotting root fungus' developed by Flying Flame Land is indeed a more terrifying biological weapon than Fusarium oxysporum, and with Ian's level of biological alchemy, you can see how terrifying this thing is.

- Erosion of the root system, hindering the transport of nutrients, affecting the development of leaves, can be transmitted by a variety of insects, birds and animals...... It can even secrete highly toxic toxins and corrupt the soil.

If it were placed on the earth, it would definitely be a regional ecological disaster.

But its opponent is also the tougher Terra plant!

The plants on this planet, Ian doesn't dare to underestimate, if nothing else, who knows if there is such a thing as the Flower of Karin?

According to the plants of Nanling alone, they can even rely on psionic energy to deliver vaccines against many different diseases, as long as one strain is immune, all individuals in this area are immune!

As for the corrupt soil, it's even funnier, as if there are no creatures in Nanling that feed on poison or can remove poison, even if it is nuclear radiation, look at how prosperous the ecosystem of the South China Sea Labyrinth is.

Therefore, the report of the Flying Flame Lands also mentioned that they cannot pollute the land of a place for a long time, and can only affect specific crops after a long period of research and cultivation, so that the yield of key areas will be reduced during the critical period.

This is much less demanding, and the effect is not necessarily worse.

As long as the food production of Nanling is reduced in a wave during the war, followed by a blockade by Grand Duke Thorin, the Nanling army will have to surrender without a fight.

"Oh, it seems that this is the war strategy of the Flying Flame Land, they are not stupid enough to really send troops over to fight guerrilla warfare and law and order warfare in Nanling, so they directly fight the food war."

With this report in his pocket, Ian knew that he had something to gain this time.

Not only can it reasonably predict the surrender of Grand Duke Thorin in advance, but it can also make the imperial capital start to beware of the biological warfare in the Flying Flame Land as soon as possible.

But why didn't I see this in the hive dream?

Ian thought about it, and then smiled—the hive had pushed the entire Grand Duchy of Thorin all the way, and the Empire and the Flamelands couldn't stop it, and he certainly didn't remember any such trivial things as biological warfare.

"However, the Flamelands were able to establish such a small bio-data collection base within the Empire, proving that they should have a large laboratory in the western part of the Empire. Otherwise, they would not have been able to cultivate the native strains of Nanling so quickly, and get the biological weapons of blood entanglement and rotten root fungus. ”

"Grand Duke Thorin, you should have completely thrown yourself into the Flamelands."

Ian searched for other documents, most of which were local business data.

Now, they want to confirm Nanling's grain production data and export data, and ensure that the long-prepared crop production capacity will be reduced to force the Nanling military and civilians to surrender.

This was not a big deal in the first place, and no matter how idle the imperial bureaucracy was, this kind of thing could still be discovered.

But Ian believed that if the Flying Flame Land could corrupt a Duke of Thorin, he would certainly not mind corrupting some of the officials of Southridge - it was their ignorance and connivance that made the Special Operations Team so rampant.

Even, maybe they are ready to stock up on Juqi.

When the two countries fight, and this year's harvest is almost destroyed by the biological warfare of the Flying Flame Land, they can use the grain they have hoarded in the past few years to sell a lot of money and harvest the wealth fiercely.

"The head of this kind of person is also a merit, if you become a patrol knight, you can see which guys are buying food on the market during this recent period, and when the time comes, go over and check one by one, and there will definitely be innocent people who kill them all, and there will definitely be those who miss the net when they kill one another."

Back then, Port Harrison almost ran out of food because of the war with the natives, and if it weren't for Viscount Grant's own means to get a batch of aid, maybe a large number of people would have starved to death.

But in the future war between the two countries, not to mention one of the Viscount's means, Patrick is already dead, and even if he still has it, it is estimated that he will not be able to get much, and he will definitely not be able to satisfy the greatly increased population of Harrison Port.

Ian writes this down on a silver chip's 'notepad' and sets key reminders.

And most importantly.

"Xiahui grass, isn't that my destination this time, a specialty of Lai'an Ling?"

The boy left the file storage area and looked at the contents stored in the other warehouses.

It is true that they are all biological samples, most of which have been infected with various fungal pests and diseases, various crops, and different characteristics.

wheat with yellowed and withered leaves; potato vines that are so bright that they look poisonous; Fruit tree branches with various wormholes and gray-white veins......

Among them, there happened to be a sample of Sparkle grass labeled 'Important Sample, Handle with Care'.

This supposedly beautiful psionic plant has been entangled in gray-white hyphae and cannot see its original shape, like the bones of a beautiful woman wrapped in layers of ropes, only decaying, and the original blue mist has been turned to ashes.

【Glowing Grass (Rotted)】

The silver chip also flashed such a message.

Because the specialty of the Lai'an Collar is the psionic nourishing extract extracted from the glow grass, an excellent psionic tonic, it is regarded as a strategic target by the Flying Flame Land, and it is the first experimental target of the rotten root fungus at that time.

This blow certainly won't last long, and the Empire's biological alchemists aren't vegetarians.

But the problem is that Ian's second-level potion main material has been prepared, and the secondary material can be delivered as long as it arrives at the place, so it is missing this part of the substrate, and if it is too late, the advancement will have to be delayed again.

He didn't have time.

"Gotta pick up the pace."

Ian thought a little nonchalantly. Just kill all the people in the Flying Flame Land Special Combat Team along the way, and if you want to join the Patrol Knights, it is estimated that you will need some merit.

He turned around, ready to clean up the corpse of the Flame Ground Sublimator outside. Because he needed to borrow these people's heads, he didn't hit the key from the beginning.

When Ian returned to the caravan after packing up the heads of the three Ascendants, the people in the caravan had just begun to catch fire.

When the caravan steward wanted to come forward and ask Ian, who had gone and returned, if he had forgotten something, he saw three human heads hanging from his waist.

"Wait, sir, do you mean ......?"

He trembled a little, not with fear, but with excitement.

is also a white citizen, and he is extremely looking forward to the meaning of Ian's dispatch this time.

"Yes."

And Ian nodded, he untied the three heads, took out the documents from his pocket, and handed them to the other party: "Tomorrow morning, send a few reliable people to return to Port Harrison with the inner ghost and these heads, as well as these documents." ”

"Don't worry, I've killed all the people, and there's no danger - a great achievement, send your henchmen."

"Yes, sir, I'll definitely do it!"

Hearing this, the steward swallowed his saliva, but his eyes lit up, and he nodded and quickly agreed.
