  Chapter 156 Incineration (Content may cause discomfort)

   bang... bang... bang...

  In northern Kenya, gunfire erupted.

  Following the gunshots, the wild animals in Africa fell down. In order to clear the pastures, bison, lions, warthogs, hyenas, leopards, zebras on the African grasslands...

  All the animals that could be seen suffered. The East African colony was first hit by a fire, which directly ignited the grassland.

  The animals were driven around by the fire, and the unlucky ones who couldn't escape were buried in the sea of ​​fire, and some half-dead lay on the burned land moaning in pain.

   There are still some places that the fire cannot cover, and the East African immigrants need to solve it by themselves.

  At present, the life of East African immigrants in East Africa can be summarized as the normalization of three things: farming, fighting, and setting fires.

   Farming is naturally the top priority in East Africa, and it is not difficult to understand.

  Wars are fought in response to the acquisition of land. East Africa often conflicts with indigenous forces, so it is strange that the East African colonies do not fight.

  Setting fire is rather strange. Set fire to open up wasteland, set fire to open up residential areas, and set fire to destroy the living environment of animals.

  There is nothing more time-saving and labor-saving than setting fire to the African grasslands in the dry season. The whole of East Africa presents a kind of primitive wild beauty of slash-and-burn cultivation.

  The opening of East African colonies can be said to be in conflict with blacks and wild animals. No matter whether people or animals, as long as they are local indigenous people in East Africa, they can be wiped out for no reason.

  Ernst wants to emphasize that he has no prejudice against the aboriginals, which is entirely caused by conflicts of interests.

  The owners of this land in Africa are not blacks, but these groups of wild animals. They are evenly distributed throughout the sub-Saharan region from south to north.

  Except for the tropical rainforest, which is truly a forbidden place for humans, and no one knows what is hidden in it.

   On the African grasslands, you can basically see regular visitors, typically lions, wildebeests, elephants, zebras, hyenas, wild dogs, warthogs...

  The land of more than 8 million square kilometers in the entire African grassland, from West Africa to East Africa to South Africa, is basically these guys.

   Ernst didn't feel bad at all when he killed it, because it couldn't be finished, let alone extinct.

   Ernst actually didn't have any respect for the extinction of species. In the news of his previous life, he didn't know how many species were extinct.

  Besides, Ernst didn't refuse to give these animals a way to live. If he wanted to blame them, he blamed them for being born in the wrong place.

  The East African colony pursues that wherever the immigrants go, they will destroy everything there.

  Now East Africa can be described as vast and sparsely populated, and the immigrants all choose good places to live. Those valleys, virgin forests, deserts... don't even bother to go.

  For example, the Serengeti Grassland, such a large area (about 30,000 square kilometers), Ernst did not plan to develop it, it is considered a nature reserve.

   To develop Africa, it is natural to use thunder means, and a large number of grasslands and forests will inevitably be destroyed.

  Actually, Ernst’s practice of slash-and-burn farming has another purpose, which is to break the local ecosystem.

  Africa is a hotbed of various diseases, not only for humans, but also for animals.

   Ernst was most impressed by African swine fever and African horse fever in his previous life.

African swine fever is simply "AIDS" in pigs. It was an incurable disease for more than a hundred years after it was first discovered in Kenya in 1927. Until Ernst crossed over, there was no known effective vaccine. developed.

  Furthermore, African swine fever has spread widely. While raging across Africa, it has also gained a firm foothold in Europe. The Americas and Asia are not immune. Even the frigid regions of Russia have African swine fever.

  In areas where African swine fever is found, the problem can only be solved by large-scale disinfecting. Basically, it is found that the live pigs within a few kilometers of African swine fever are not spared.

  African swine fever is extremely contagious, with a mortality rate as high as 100%. After it is discovered, the infected pigs can only be eliminated, blocked, culled, disinfected, and harmlessly treated. There are no effective prevention and control methods.

  The initial vector of African swine fever is parasites such as soft ticks. As for African horse fever, it is also a disease transmitted by parasites such as Culicoides.

  Africa has suffered from bitter parasites for a long time, so the East African colonies faced the same problem if they wanted to engage in animal husbandry.

   Of course, these two diseases do not exist in this era, but Ernst did not dare to gamble.

   Burning wasteland is the most economical and trouble-free means, one size fits all, one size fits all, such is the condition of this era.

  Ernst’s first cut was on the heads of East African animals. They are hosts of various diseases and parasites, and they themselves pose a threat to livestock.

  So it is necessary to clean up the animals in the pasture, and with a big fire, the living environment of those parasites can also be destroyed.

  When the rainy season comes, new pastures will grow on the pastures, and it will be much safer to put cattle and horses in the pastures in East Africa.

  …

   "Andre! This pork is roasted, I can smell the aroma, what a pity!" Porter Young said, looking at the warthog that was hit by the fire.

   "Hehe, don't even think about it. The above has ordered that all animal corpses will be cremated. Although the game is good, you have to live to bear it." Andre said.

   "I can't see how this thing is harmful, isn't it just a pig!" Potter Young retorted.

   "This is not the Eurasian continent. If you see no threat, it doesn't mean it is safe.

   Especially these wild animals, when they first arrived in East Africa, they could survive without food, and now there is no shortage of food, so why gamble with their lives.

  Don’t be convinced when I say this. These are the experiences accumulated by the local indigenous people with **** lessons. Animals in tropical areas have a lot of parasites and diseases, and rash consumption may cause serious consequences.

  At the beginning, I saw an aborigine, good guy, there was no piece of his body intact, it was full of parasites, and I didn’t have a good meal for three days. "Andre educated.

  The natives that Andre saw were not actually infected with parasites by eating wild animals. That unlucky guy was caused by drinking unclean water, but this did not prevent Andre from using this incident as a negative lesson.

   There are many cases of indigenous Africans infected with various parasites. Unlike immigrants, indigenous people don’t even wear clothes, and they don’t pay much attention to food and drink. Therefore, the old immigrants are well-informed, and coupled with the popularization of science in the colonies, they dare not violate the regulations.

Porter Yang obviously had some bad memories caused by the case mentioned by Andre, and hurriedly said: "You said that, I really didn't pay much attention before, I also saw an aborigine who didn't wear shoes, then I don’t know what’s bitten my feet so badly (sand fleas), I can’t even walk, it’s really scary when I think about it now.”

   "Right! So we just obey the orders honestly. The gentlemen above are more knowledgeable than us. They said this is science." Andre said.

   "You're right, this science is indeed a good thing. Those who didn't listen to persuasion at the beginning were prone to get sick, but later they became honest. I have to pay more attention in the future." Potter Young agreed.

  …

  In the evening, the settlers piled the collected animal carcasses on the firewood.

  The person in charge poured kerosene on it and ignited it with a lighter. In the raging fire, the dead animals turned to ashes and ashes to ashes.

  The grassland burned by the fire was scorched black, and when the rainy season came, it was green again, but at that time, the original wild animals could not be seen on the grassland at that time, only the livestock raised in East Africa moved on the grassland.
