Chapter Seventy-One: Cordyceps Hunting
Locust plagues, in this world of cultivating immortals, are not uncommon.
The aura in the air not only nourishes human beings, but also contains all kinds of life forms.
And the Zerg itself is the most numerous and diverse creature in nature.
So, locust plagues basically happen once every few years.
Locust plagues are difficult to avoid, especially the ones that erupt from the forests of Senzhou, which can be even more unprepared.
Generally speaking, if it can be detected more than ten days in advance, the town guard and county guard can also organize local residents to distribute some insect repellent powder to carry out partial rescue.
I'm afraid of this sudden outburst without warning.
The plague of locusts struck like a black cloud overpowering the sky.
Lin Yufan traveled to the present and saw a locust plague, and that time, the farmers in Puquan Town basically lost all their money.
All the ears of rice were basically gnawed clean, and even some other crops were not spared.
It was after that locust plague that the sixth uncle, Lin Angtian, began to devote himself to the study of rice seeds, and then he really made some fame.
However, now, the resistance and yield of the rice grown by Puquan Lin's Hexi seeds are many times better than the family's original one.
Now the farmers in Puquan Town don't even need the sunset rice seeds that the family developed in the first place.
One is that everyone's economy has risen, and the other is that the quality of Hexi rice is indeed better.
However, although Lin Angtian has tested the insect resistance of Hexi rice before, it can basically resist the invasion of ordinary locusts.
However, it is not known how resilient it will be in the face of such a large-scale outbreak of locusts.
However, Puquan Town was not guarded, so there was no official rescue from the Suzaku Kingdom.
Moreover, Lin's firm did not sell drugs such as deworming powder.
Lin Yufan once purchased insect repellent powder from other trading houses, and after Lin Angtian's test, he found that although it can resist certain insect pests, it will have an impact on the yield of rice, especially the taste of rice after output.
According to Lin Yufan's understanding, this insect repellent powder is similar to "pesticides", although it is helpful, but the side effects are not small.
Moreover, this insect repellent is more to help ordinary rice seeds, and for Lin's Hexi seeds, it is useless.
After thinking for a while, Lin Yufan felt that he couldn't let this locust eat the rice.
Although Lin Yufan knew that his own rice was of good quality and resistant, since he had received the news that locusts would attack, he naturally could not fight an unprepared battle.
Although there is no town guard in Puquan Town, he Puquan Lin is the patron saint of Puquan Town.
Moreover, under Lin Yufan's careful transformation for nearly a year, Puquan Town has begun to take shape and has its own style.
He didn't want his efforts to go to waste.
Locusts don't just eat rice, Puquan Town now grows many other crops and flowers in the town.
Of course, they are all seeds developed by Lin Angtian.
Therefore, their insect resistance is not worse than that of Hexi rice.
However, when it comes to crops, Lim is an expert.
Therefore, Lin Yufan still quickly sent the news to Lin Angtian.
According to Ouyang Jinhua's estimate, this locust plague is estimated to be about to invade Longpu County, and it is estimated that the invasion of Puquan Town will be a matter of one or two days.
After a stick of incense, Lin Angtian and Lin Yufan appeared together in the back garden of the Lin family's mansion.
"Yu Fan, the seeds I developed have not yet been tested by this large-scale locust plague.
However, I estimate that even if we let it go, the loss should be controlled within 20%, and even if we use insect repellent powder, the loss will still be about 30%.
In other words, the effect of the "extraordinary" seeds developed by our Lin clan is better than that of washing.
But we're not going to leave it alone.
Some time ago, didn't you cultivate a movable cordyceps trap?
Ten days ago, I happened to have successfully researched this Cordyceps plant, and now, there are many Cordyceps seeds.
Although it is certainly not as powerful as this Cordyceps trap, it is certainly not a big problem to eliminate some ordinary locusts. ”
Lin Angtian said, opening his palm and continuing: "
Moreover, these seeds also have magical properties, which can basically grow when they land, but there is a disadvantage at present, that is, their vitality is somewhat weak, although they grow fast, but in less than ten days, they will wither.
Even so, we can quickly spread it into the farmland and cover the entire Puquan Town, which I have. ”
Lin Yufan nodded in agreement.
In this way, on the basis of the resistance of its own crops, there is an additional layer of protection.
In general, it is difficult for immortal cultivators to intervene in such a disaster as the locust plague.
Not to mention that ordinary immortal cultivators have limited means, although powerful immortal cultivators can deal with it, the aftermath of mana will even cause greater damage to the township.
In this case, an immortal cultivator with a spirit plant, or a spirit insect master who can control insects, will be of great help.
The number of spirit insect masters is even less than that of alchemists and array mages.
The Lin family has not yet appeared with such talents.
However, he can cultivate some spirit plants with good combat power in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, he looked at the Cordyceps trap that he had unintentionally cultivated some time ago......
