Chapter 233 Reason 2
It wasn't until this year, when the weather warmed up, that the mosquitoes started to stir again.
It first infected a group of people in a small area, and then began to spread slowly outwards.
It’s just that in this life, everyone generally has good physical fitness, and some well-informed people even learned from the people of Qinghua Country to get showered by the energy rain, so the news did not spread quickly at the beginning.
But even if it is not fast, it is slowly spreading outwards.
And because of the help of Qinghua Country in this life, no country's order collapsed, and there was still communication between countries, so the virus spread to the whole world.
It was not until members of the Qinghe Alliance Guard were infected while delivering special medicines that Qinghua Country had imported cases of the HZ virus.
Another point is that, because they were exposed to the energy rain, the people of Qinghua Country were able to hold on long enough after being infected, allowing the research institute to discover the virus in time.
Well, that's the thing, butterfly wings are a bit big.
It is hard to say whether the effect on the reborn is good or bad.
After all, in the past life without reborn people, many people died of thirst, but there was no global outbreak of the HZ virus.
Because there are people who have been reborn in this life, there are fewer people dying of thirst around the world.
However, due to the spread of the HZ virus, everyone lived in fear and despair, and many people died from the virus.
Alas, perhaps it is destiny that everything needs a balance.
Therefore, the number of deaths in the two lives is almost the same.
As for the appearance of Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, perhaps it is to let them use the golden finger to end the virus. After all, if it continues to spread, mankind may be extinct.
Well, after talking about the HZ virus, let’s talk about the locust plague.
There were actually locust plagues in previous lives. This was caused by climate drought and was unavoidable.
However, in previous lives, many countries were in chaos due to drought, so much so that even after the dry season ended, they were still in civil strife, and no one was interested in farming.
And even if they planted the land, they would not be able to guarantee a harvest without the protection of the country and the alliance.
Therefore, after the locust plague broke out in the previous life, the locust swarms had little food to eat no matter which country they went to.
Because the lack of food directly limited the growth of the locust plague, only a few provinces in the south of Qinghua were affected.
In this life, because all countries are operating normally and the cultivated area has been increased under the reminder of Qinghua Country, the locusts are not short of food, which directly speeds up their reproduction speed.
So, they became more and more numerous, and finally formed a large scale and headed towards Qinghua Country.
It was for this reason that Zhang Chenjun did not predict this year's locust plague, while Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan made their guess based on the number of locusts in their own fields and some agricultural knowledge.
Moreover, the two were not sure, so they could only hint at it when Qiu Man visited his own fields.
Although in the end, Qinghua Kingdom was able to preserve so much food not because of their reminders, but no matter what the reason was, as long as they could preserve the "lifeline" of the people, they were very happy.
----------
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan stopped paying attention to the locusts after dark. After all, looking at them wouldn't change anything.
They had a good sleep, and when they woke up the next day and watched the news they found out that despite the efforts of the central cities to catch up, some grain was still lost in the end.
However, compared with the gains, the loss was not that great, so everyone in Qinghua Country was very happy.
People even started celebrating online, celebrating their victory in the war against the locusts.
Most people thought that the matter was over after the grain was collected, but Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan knew that this was just the beginning.
The reason why locusts are so terrifying is because of their powerful reproductive ability.
Higher organisms win by intelligence, lower organisms win by numbers. For locusts, reproduction is like replication.
Although the locusts did not eat much food this time, they would never give up the opportunity to lay eggs in the soil.
Moreover, it only takes about 30 days for most locusts to be born from eggs and mate and reproduce. A mature female locust can lay an average of 200 to 1,000 eggs in its lifetime.
What's more, locusts give birth to at least two generations a year, and the high temperature in summer will shorten the hatching time.
In a nutshell, no matter how terrible my natural enemies are, I will give birth!
Therefore, if the problem of locust eggs is not solved, they will always live in the shadow of locust plagues.
However, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan believed that it would not be long before the Qinghe Alliance would popularize the Silver Heart Hundred Leaf Clover, and then this problem would be solved.
After finishing breakfast, they walked to the balcony and looked down. Oh, all the beautiful flowers and plants were gone, leaving only some dead branches and leaves.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan ignored it, they sighed and entered the space.
Time soon came to early September, and all the people infected with the HZ virus in Qinghua Country had recovered.
Not surprisingly, they were all disfigured to some degree.
The locust swarms had long since flown away from the borders of Qinghua, devouring vegetation in other countries and laying eggs.
No one can do anything about them, all they can do is collect the food in advance.
It is only because of the development of science and technology that they have such an opportunity. If it were in ancient times, they would only be able to sit on the ground and cry.
Although most countries have managed to keep their food supplies, these insects are really annoying.
Research institutes in various countries have joined the research on new pesticides.
They thought that the medicines for the Unknown Virus No. 1 and HZ viruses were previously developed by Qinghua Country, so there should be a chance for them to show off their skills this time.
Unfortunately, Qinghe Alliance Research Institute took the lead once again.
Dean Xu really used the extract of Silver Heart Centifolia to make Insecticide 2.0, which can effectively kill the small insects that have been transformed by energy rain.
But it’s still the same dilemma: not enough raw materials!
Dean Xu only made 10L of pesticide, but he used up all the newly grown silver heart clover leaves in the entire Imperial Capital.
That’s right, Dean Tian scattered the seeds all over the capital, but after the seeds sprouted, Dean Xu sent people to harvest them all.
Although the roots are still there, it is not easy for the leaves to grow.
But fortunately, it worked and those leaves were not wasted.
Dean Xu knew that the global situation was serious, so he and his assistant took the 10L of pesticide directly to the alliance office.
After listening to President Xu's report, General Alliance Officer Li was delighted and immediately arranged for guards to carry out experiments with pesticides.
The experimental effect is still amazing. After spraying in front of the alliance office building, mosquitoes fell to the ground in a swoop.
All the big guys who watched the experiment were shocked, and one of them even couldn't help but film the experiment as a video and uploaded it to the Internet.
Of course, this was approved by General Li, the alliance leader. They all needed to give the people a shot in the arm.
Facts have proved that the effect is good, and everyone has hope for life again.
As long as we produce this pesticide in large quantities, will we still be afraid that we won’t be able to return to our previous lives in the future?
