Mid-Levels Farm

"The green banana-eating weevil moth."

"Like sucking banana juice, eating banana fruit, banana stems, leaves and flower axes, etc., larvae bite and attack roots, once they appear, they can quickly hatch and multiply in a short period of time, spread within a week, and quickly spread bunchy top disease and heart rot Anthrax yellow spots will appear on tender banana peels and leaves that have been sucked, which will hinder production and affect yield. ..." (Note: This pest is fabricated.)

Chu Ruozhuo's hands were trembling slightly, his eye circles were red, and he repeated viciously, "We haven't found it in a large area yet..."

He suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay! You are a professional Zhang Bai! What a hardworking college student, foreign pests and typhoons, what a set of steady and accurate combination punches! What a painstaking effort! I am such a waste, It’s worth their scheming, it’s not easy to bring this bug back from abroad! Hahaha! Thanks to them coming up with such a hard way, why bother? I’m such a waste..."

He suddenly covered his face and couldn't help letting out a long sob, turned his face away and stopped talking.

Xuan Xiaodong stood there, knowing that Chu Ruozhuo should have understood that it was strange that Zhang Bai emigrated abroad at this juncture. , is also Intuit unkind.

He just stood silently, waiting for Chu Ruozhuo to stand there for a long time before he calmed down, turned his face to look at Xuan Xiaodong, and said in a low voice, "Thank you...it's only the last half month, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on." , This thing reproduces so fast...it's too late to spray the pesticide, if it's harvested immediately, the spray will have too little time to degrade, and it won't pass the pesticide test. Party A will definitely not accept the goods if they check and accept it."

"It's typhoon season again, and the rainfall is too heavy. At this time, the effect of spraying is very small. This is the timing. It is a fluke that the typhoon didn't blow down these bananas. The pink-skinned bananas need pink and exquisite banana skins. The luster is sweet, so it is easy to sell, these green moths have hatched, and they will multiply rapidly in the next few days, eating bananas that are close to harvesting..."

Xuan Xiaodong said: "If spraying medicine doesn't work, try biological treatment? For example, natural enemies? Check to see if there are any effective natural enemies, frogs? Wasps, bats, etc..."

Chu Ruozhuo's face was filled with dismay: "It is so hard to get it from abroad, and there are often no natural enemies in the local area. Even if there are, I have [-] mu of bananas! How many natural enemies are enough?"

"Also, you don't know, this is a biological invasion. If it is found that it was brought in intentionally, it will definitely be held accountable, do you know? The legal person of this company is me, and now I even worry about whether there has been a report letter I sent it to the Environmental Protection Department - this is a chain, if I can't find a suitable way to deal with these moths in the near future, causing a flood, I am afraid I will immediately arrange for people to use heavy pesticides to control the moths as soon as possible. situation, give up all gains."

Xuan Xiaodong was taken aback: "So serious?"

Chu Ruozhuo glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "Yes, that's how the struggle of rich and powerful families is. There are always people who want to block the way of others to prevent problems before they happen. In fact, I've always been useless...but now I'm pretending to work hard to get in the way." Other people's eyes..."

Xuan Xiaodong was silent, and Chu Ruozhuo forced a smile: "Forget it, it's just a loss, I've prepared for it, but I was very happy just now, forget it, I'll go back first Consult the experts from the Institute of Biological Pests to see if you can find some suitable and milder biological pesticides...but it should be too late..."

His back seemed to be slightly hunched, and the vigor and vigor of the whole person just now was gone, and the energy was gone.

On the way back, both of them were silent, the motorcycle whizzed by, and the oncoming wind seemed to bring only dust and troubles, and the rain that seemed to come again at any time fell heavily on the clouds, like an ominous omen.

Back in the room, Chu Ruozhuo started calling non-stop, and then turned on the laptop to keep contacting, but soon all he got was bad news, and his face became more and more ugly.

For lunch, Xuan Xiaodong made light Qilixiang soup and soft loofah cakes, sprinkled with shredded ham, which was sweet and delicious, but Chu Ruozhuo was not in the mood.

Xuan Xiaodong asked him, "Can you find a way?"

Chu Ruozhuo smiled wryly: "Through a few acquaintances, I contacted foreign insect experts in this field, and told me that this green moth is extremely destructive, and foreign control is only focused on prevention and control. Once the adults hatch, they multiply quickly and devour them quickly. Banana Garden, what we saw today is that the typhoon interfered with their breeding process, and when the sun comes out and the weather gets warmer, it will speed up their hatching and breeding process...then it will be irreparable."

"It can be said that you discovered it in advance today, which is a very good time. Originally, a large dose of biological pesticides could be used to try to kill their eggs and prevent them from hatching."

Xuan Xiaodong said: "Then now?"

Chu Ruozhuo shook his head: "The cost is too high, [-] mu of land...is still an imported medicine, even if it can be made in time, it will be extremely expensive... What's more, the shipping cost is astonishing, and it may be too late."

His mouth was full of bitterness, and he took a sip of the soup, completely unable to taste it.

Xuan Xiaodong thought for a while and said, "I have an immature idea."

Chu Ruozhuo said: "Tell me...I've searched for everyone today...there are still few, and it will be flooded in a week, and the Environmental Protection Supervision Department will definitely come to the door."

Xuan Xiaodong said, "Have you ever thought about trying to kill these moths with biotechnology?"

Chu Ruozhuo was startled: "Biological technology? For example?"

Xuan Xiaodong said: "For example... sonic interference imitating bats, biological agents to lure moths, or spider webs imitating spider silk... and so on..."

Chu Ruozhuo laughed: "The idea is very good, but there are very few such companies. In fact, bionic applications are very narrow in practical applications, basically unprofitable, but often need to pay scientists a large amount of patent fees, and cannot be used on a large scale. Therefore, there are generally no companies that specialize in this type of business. Usually, most agricultural companies, when encountering such a situation, do a good job in the prevention and control of pests in advance, and only need to do a targeted spraying of the soil in advance, and the cost is very cheap. , does not require any high-tech insecticide technology."

He let out a long sigh: "This time I was in a special situation. I was calculated by someone. I didn't prevent it in advance. It was also this kind of extremely destructive green moth smuggled in from abroad. It was too late. Ten thousand acres, I was greedy. Too many, this is a lesson. No technology company can make such a targeted pest killing machine. How can there be such a boring technology company who pays idlers to buy patents."

Xuan Xiaodong said in a low voice: "There is a company called Yinghuo Technology. I have read news reports that this company focuses on the development and innovation in the field of biotechnology, and has produced many famous bionic products..."

Chu Ruozhuo suddenly sat up: "Firefly Technology! How could I have forgotten the company run by the former diplomat of the Sheng family!" His eyes lit up, and he looked at Xuan Xiaodong: "I didn't expect you to be well-informed even though you live in the countryside. Ah, let me think about it, the Sheng family, I knew Sheng Leilei before, and I can still talk to him..."

Xuan Xiaodong said, "Do you know that...the diplomat?"

Chu Ruozhuo said: "Hey, who doesn't know Sheng Wuyu? He is proficient in more than a dozen foreign languages. He is knowledgeable and capable. He is a top student at the Foreign Affairs University. He has served as diplomats abroad for several times. Involved in armed incidents abroad, I heard that in order to save students, he was taken hostage. During the rescue process, a stray bullet accidentally injured his spine. He was paralyzed, resigned and rested. It is said that he had done many operations at home and abroad, but there was no way, and then he opened his own bio Technology companies, focused on technological innovation, regardless of investment, have recruited many top biological experts, and it is said that they are actually looking for ways to treat diseases for themselves.”

"After all, today's medicine is helpless. It probably can only start from the aspect of biological bionics, such as the reconstruction of spinal nerves... The legend is so, but in fact, the hope is very slim... Fortunately, he is extremely capable. It is quite big. The main reason is that the background of the Sheng family is different. When he was a diplomat, he was very popular. Many top tech giants were willing to advise him, and many people were willing to invest in him. Now the business field is quite Niu, your news is too precious."

Chu Ruozhuo immediately picked up the phone, flipped through the address book for a while, and easily found Sheng Wuyu's number. His fingers were hanging on it, but he couldn't press it down. His palms were sweating a lot and slipped badly. Situation, heartbroken, dialed out.

The phone picked up after two beeps, and the voice on the other side was as clear as ice: "Hello, Sheng Wuyu."

It wasn't the assistant's phone number, Chu Ruozhuo gritted his teeth, he had already typed the draft before, and still stammered: "Hello Director Sheng, I'm Chu Ruozhuo...you may not know me..."

The voice on the other side was as ice-like as jade, but concise and powerful: "Chu Ruozhuo, I recognize you. Mr. Chu Qianxi brought you to my family's banquet."

Chu Ruozhuo was flattered: "Ah, yes, it's me...I have an unkind request today, and I'm sorry to bother you. That's it. I invested in planting [-] mu of bananas, but on the eve of harvesting, I discovered a kind of insect infestation." , called the banana-eating weevil moth, because it is a pest that invades from abroad, there are no natural enemies in the local area, and because it is close to harvesting, pesticides cannot be used. I heard that your firefly technology has corresponding biological pest control technology. , I want to ask if you can help me a little bit, I really can't do anything... I have invested too much..."

The other side listened quietly for a while, and asked, "[-] mu of bananas...is it Mr. Chu's investment test task?"

Chu Ruozhuo choked, he didn't expect the other party to know, but yes, the circle is actually very small, he said with a dry smile, "Yes... I made a mistake this time..."

On the other side, he said: "Pests that are unique to foreign countries are brought here to hatch carefully, right? Have you bought agricultural insurance?" The voice was understated, but it was affirmative.

Chu Ruozhuo's throat choked, and the grievance welled up, his eye circles were almost red, before the other party could answer, he was silent for a while and said, "I remember the name of this bug, and relevant experts will contact you later." Speaking of it, it's like an excuse for the golden cicada to escape its shell in the social field, but speaking to the other side, it gives people a sense of being cautious and trustworthy for no reason, as if he said he would contact, and he would definitely do it.

Chu Ruozhuo took out the back of his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, but the phone on the other side had already hung up.

Chu Ruozhuo didn't dare to look at Xuan Xiaodong, but turned around and walked directly to the room. With a few words, Sheng Wuyu had an insight into the whole process of his being calculated. He was in the game for a long time, but he was as stupid as a pig and was played around by others.

Xuan Xiaodong looked at his slumped back and didn't bother him.

In the afternoon, Chu Ruozhuo rushed out excitedly and said hello to him: "The experts from Yinghuo Technology contacted me, and agreed to send consultants and engineers over immediately to have a look, they will make a plan first, and they will be here tomorrow! "

Xuan Xiaodong smiled: "Is it going well? Is the cost high?"

Chu Ruozhuo smiled and said: "The expert is a doctoral supervisor of Southern Agricultural University. After studying it for a while, he said that it could be saved, and he had to rush for time. He didn't talk about the reward at all. Instead, he told me that this is an excellent opportunity for practice. He wants to do it immediately. Bring students to fly over to practice, and he is [-]% sure that he can kill these green moths. Coincidentally, it is the method you mentioned, bionic spider silk to kill, making moth estrogen traps, and bat-like sound waves to repel them , I felt a lot more at ease when I heard it, how do you know so clearly? It’s too precious information.”

Xuan Xiaodong said: "I have paid attention to their company's special in-depth reports before, and we are also very careful about these insects when we grow vegetables. At that time, I saw the introduction of their research results. I was very curious and paid attention to the research results in this area."

Chu Ruozhuo rubbed his hands, his face full of gratitude: "Hey, Sheng Wuyu is really nice, we just met him a few times. He used to be cold and not easy to get close to. After the accident, he lived reclusively and rarely participated in social activities. It's so reliable, no wonder so many big bosses value him. It's a pity, if he is really rescued, he owes him a big debt, I have to think about how to repay this favor generously..."

Xuan Xiaodong looked at the vegetable garden outside the window, smiled and said softly, "That's good—I hope he recovers soon."
