李总盟官皱起眉头，“能怎么办，兵来将挡水来土掩呗，咱青华国怕啥！
想那么多有啥用，遇见啥问题解决就成，不要杞人忧天。
对了，田院长那边啥情况？”
“老田已经培育出了第一批银心百叶草种子，他想着再培养些再...”
Li Zongmengguan shook his head. "No, we can't wait any longer. We'll use half of it to plant around the capital, and use the other half for tissue culture or seed saving."
"good."
What is Lao Xu doing now?
"We are researching new insecticides. Dean Xu believes that since the fragrance of Silver Heart Centipede when it blooms can kill pests, the essence extracted from its leaves or flowers could very well be made into a new insecticide."
General Li nodded. "Yes, whatever Lao Xu needs, all units will provide full support. What's the situation abroad right now?"
"Most countries have brought the HZ virus under control. Although there are still new infections, there are basically no deaths."
General Li nodded. "That's good."
"However, Yu Jingguo and several surrounding countries have harvested nothing and may need assistance from other countries this year."
General Li sighed, "Then Qinghua Kingdom won't be able to escape!"
Although the locust swarm came from Yu Jingguo, we might not have been able to detect it in time without their warning.
Moreover, our Qinghua Kingdom preserved most of the grain, which no one can deny. This favor is significant, and we must repay it in due time.
After General Li finished speaking, there was another round of sighs in the office.
"Alright, stop sighing. Things will get better."
After the meeting ended, the secretary asked General Li, "Although Yu Jingguo sent us a message, we also sent them a prescription and seeds."
"If it weren't for our Qinghua Kingdom, they would still be struggling with the virus!"
Li Zongmengguan chuckled, "That's a transaction, it's different."
Although we helped Yu Jingguo, he also paid a corresponding price.
In this situation, Yu Jingguo had no obligation to remind us, but they still did it.
Although we might have spotted the locust swarms even without their warning, that's only a possibility.
It's important to know that when Yu Jingguo reminded us, the size of that locust swarm was easily overlooked.
If we really overlook this, the losses to Qinghua Kingdom will be something we cannot afford.
We can't just take the benefits without repaying the favors. What if other countries make some discoveries and then refuse to share them with us?
The secretary nodded. "I understand. My perspective was too narrow."
General Li patted his secretary on the shoulder, "Young man, keep up the good work!"
Actually, there was one more thing that General Li didn't say: when Yu Jingguo told them, he was thinking of relying on Qinghua Kingdom to get through the famine...
----------
After lunch, Bi Qiaoan went to sleep, while Shen Yanming kept a close eye on the locust swarm.
Around 6 p.m., swarms of locusts swept in.
Shen Yanming stood on the balcony and looked down. He saw a dark mass of birds flying around below. Before long, the flowers and plants in the community were completely devoured.
Shen Yanming sighed. Fortunately, Qinghua Kingdom had issued an early warning this time, otherwise...
Suddenly, he felt a pair of small hands wrap around his waist, then a small chin rested on his back, and finally a soft body pressed against him.
"woke up?"
"Hmm!" Bi Qiaoan nodded her little head. "Is something on your mind?"
"I just feel that my past life's experiences are unreliable. Look at the locusts downstairs, how terrifying they are!"
Bi Qiaoan released Shen Yanming and looked downstairs. When she saw the dark mass of people, she was somewhat shocked.
But it got dark soon afterward, and they couldn't see anything from upstairs.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan sat on the sofa, neither of them saying anything, because they were both wondering what had caused this locust plague.
Actually, it's somewhat related to these reborn individuals.
In my previous life, there were also HZ viruses and locust plagues, but neither of them spread to Qinghua Kingdom.
Regardless of past or present life, the HZ virus actually began to appear during the drought, first appearing in a small country.
In their previous lives, without the reminders of the reborn, not only in Qinghua Kingdom, but also in other countries, large numbers of people died every day due to lack of water.
That's why the outbreak of the HZ virus in this small country didn't cause much of a stir, because everyone assumed that the deaths were due to dehydration.
As for the festering skin on his body, they automatically assumed it was due to the body decomposing after death, without considering that he might have died from a virus infection that caused his body to rot.
After all, none of them had ever seen or even heard of such a situation.
Moreover, the HZ virus in the previous life spread faster than it does in this life.
One reason is that in their previous lives, everyone lacked water and food, and everyone was sickly with extremely weak immune systems, making them highly susceptible to various bacteria and viruses.
Secondly, because people are generally in poor health, fever is quite common, so few people go to the hospital after getting a fever, which leads to a lack of doctors not detecting this abnormality in time.
Ultimately, it all comes down to water shortage.
The hospital had no water, the pharmaceutical factory had no water, and there were many things we wanted to do but couldn't. All we could do was take some fever reducers that had been produced before.
Moreover, because everyone is in poor health, many infected people cannot hold on for long after developing a fever.
Even if they manage to hold on, they won't survive more than three days due to their festering bodies.
Bodily ulcers are generally attributed to poor hygiene.
So, no one paid attention to the situation even though so many people died. After all, once someone is dead, who would bother to ask why they died?
Moreover, how many people who are alive have an easy life?
Moreover, due to water scarcity, the country has experienced numerous riots, and the entire social order has nearly collapsed.
So until the country was destroyed, no one knew that it had ever experienced an outbreak of the HZ virus.
As for why the HZ virus has spread throughout the world in this life, it is still related to the reborn.
After Zhang Chenjun warned the Qinghe Alliance about the impending drought, the alliance not only instructed its citizens to store water in advance but also built hundreds of desalination plants along the coast.
Later, because Qinghua Kingdom was basically able to guarantee the survival of its own people, it traded half of the output from its seawater desalination plant with foreign countries, including the country where the HZ virus broke out.
Because that country made a trade with Qinghua, almost no one in the country died from lack of water, and because Qinghua provided relatively abundant water resources, they at least had food and water.
With fewer deaths, there are fewer corpses, and with less environmental pollution, there are naturally fewer mosquitoes. Therefore, the number of mosquitoes carrying the HZ virus is much smaller than in the previous life.
In addition, since most people are in relatively good physical condition, the infection rate is not high.
Moreover, it was already winter at that time, and the number of mosquitoes had dropped sharply, so the HZ virus did not break out for the time being.
