Xiao Yi and the experts at the base urgently discussed strategies for dealing with the insect infestation. In a dimly lit conference room, Xiao Yi and several other experts gathered around a long table piled high with documents and maps. Xiao Yi, his brow furrowed, broke the silence. "This insect infestation is coming with such force. Everyone, share your ideas. We must come up with an effective response plan as soon as possible." An agricultural expert, pushing his glasses, said seriously, "First, we could try biological control. Introducing natural enemies of the locusts, such as birds and certain insects, could help control the locust population. But this takes time, and the results may not be immediate." Another expert followed up, saying, "Chemical control is also an option. Large-scale spraying of insecticides is crucial, but the dosage and scope must be carefully considered to avoid secondary damage to the environment and crops." Xiao Yi listened attentively, nodding occasionally, and jotting down key points in his notebook. "We could also use smoke and fire to drive away the insects," an experienced elder offered. Xiao Yi raised his head, his gaze firm as he spoke, "Smoke and fire attacks must be used with caution. Fire prevention measures must be taken to prevent the fire from getting out of control and causing greater damage." Everyone nodded, continuing to discuss in depth the feasibility of each strategy and the potential problems it might face. "Also, we need to organize manpower to set up insect-proof nets and barriers around the farmland to slow the locust invasion," another expert added. Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, then said, "This is a good idea, but it requires a lot of manpower and supplies. We must allocate resources rationally." The discussion raged, the atmosphere tense and heated. Everyone expressed their opinions, continuously refining strategies to deal with the insect infestation. After several hours of intense deliberation, a comprehensive response plan gradually took shape. Xiao Yi stood up, his gaze scanning the faces of each expert, and solemnly declared, "This will be a difficult battle, but as long as we strictly follow this plan and give it our all, we will surely defeat the insect infestation and protect our homes and crops!"
They decided to use a combination of physical and chemical methods, setting up insect nets and traps while also preparing pesticides for spraying. In the base's warehouse, Xiao Yi and the experts gathered, carefully examining a map and various tools. "We'll start with physical control," Xiao Yi said, pointing to the areas surrounding the farmland on the map. "Here, and here, set up tall insect nets to prevent the locusts from flying directly into the fields." Workers quickly sprang into action, carrying rolls of sturdy netting to the designated locations. They used sturdy wooden stakes to secure the nets to the ground, forming a sturdy barrier. Meanwhile, another group dug traps in the fields. The deep pits were cleverly camouflaged, covered with a thin layer of branches and grass. "These traps need to be densely spaced to give the locusts nowhere to escape," an expert instructed. Meanwhile, preparations for chemical control were also underway. "Make sure to mix the pesticides according to the exact proportions to ensure efficacy while also ensuring safety," Xiao Yi instructed the personnel in charge of mixing the pesticides. Buckets of pesticides were prepared, and people with sprayers on their backs were on full alert. "Start spraying in areas with dense insect swarms, and be careful not to miss any corner." Xiao Yi personally led a team of people, holding sprayers and walking into the farmland. The mist of pesticides filled the air, and the pungent smell filled the air. But no one backed down. Everyone was concentrating on the spraying work, not letting go of any threatened crop. The insect-proof nets swayed slightly in the wind, and the sound of locusts falling from the traps continued to be heard, and the spraying of pesticides was also carried out in an orderly manner. Everyone had only one belief in their hearts, and that was to eliminate the insect plague as soon as possible and protect the crops.
"Everyone, move quickly! There can't be any delay!" Xiao Yi personally directed the progress of all the work. Xiao Yi ran through the fields, his voice a little hoarse from constant shouting, but still full of strength and majesty. His eyes were sharp and focused, closely watching every step of the work. "Over here, pull the insect net tighter to prevent the locusts from taking advantage!" Xiao Yi rushed to the team that was setting up the insect net and helped adjust the position of the net with his own hands. His hands were covered in mud and sweat flowed down his cheeks. "Dig the trap over there a little deeper and add more camouflage!" He turned and ran to the area where the traps were dug, bent down to check the condition of the traps, and demonstrated to the workers how to do it more perfectly. "Those who are responsible for mixing the pesticides, pay attention to the proportions, and don't make any mistakes!" Xiao Yi came to the pesticide mixing area and carefully checked the measuring tools and raw materials for mixing, his expression serious and earnest. Seeing someone slow down due to fatigue, Xiao Yi stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and encouraged him, "Push harder, brother! We're running out of time! For our farmland, for our future!" Under his command, the people seemed to be infused with a powerful force, their hands moving faster and more steadily. Xiao Yi never stopped, his figure weaving through the crowd, his voice echoing in every corner. He ignored his own fatigue and exhaustion, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the command work, knowing that every minute and every second of delay could cause the insect plague to cause greater damage.
Hard work! People were busy setting up insect-control devices in the fields, while others carried barrels of pesticides and carried out spraying operations. The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the sweltering air seemed frozen. Across the vast expanse of farmland, figures moved back and forth, creating a scene of intense activity. A group of sturdy men, their bronzed skin beaded with beads of sweat, bent over, their hands tightly gripped with tools, vigorously hammering wooden stakes into the hard earth. Each blow was accompanied by a heavy gasp, but their eyes were determined, and their movements were unwavering. The women, no less, deftly unfurled the insect-proof nets and meticulously secured them to the stakes. Their hands were scarred by the ropes, but they gritted their teeth and persevered. "Tighten them tight! Don't let the insects get through!" an elderly woman shouted, her voice a tinge of hoarseness. Meanwhile, men carrying barrels of pesticides walked with a heavy, steady pace. The weight of the pesticide barrels weighed them down, but they pressed forward resolutely. The spray guns in their hands continuously released a white mist that filled the air. The pungent smell made their eyes tear up, but it couldn't stop them. "Here, here, spray more!" someone shouted, their voice echoing across the empty field. A young man tripped, spilling the liquid from the barrel, soaking his clothes. He quickly climbed to his feet, not even bothering to wipe the mud from his face, refilled the barrel, and continued to work. Children followed suit, helping pass tools and water. Their little faces flushed, yet they were filled with dedication and perseverance. Time passed, and everyone's strength was constantly draining, but no one stopped working. Everyone had a single belief: to defeat the insect plague and protect the farmland that they depended on for survival.
