The pest plague in the agricultural area is still very severe. The Scientific Research Bureau can’t even use biological control to deal with so many pests. The people above are worried every day. Before the H1 area did not receive a single grain of rice due to the biological invasion incident, if other agricultural If something happens in the district, it's really over.

This is their winter food.

The agricultural scholars who survived in the H1 area couldn't sit still, and they didn't care whether their injuries were healed or whether they had psychological shadows. They all went to other safe areas to participate in pest control, but the effect was minimal.

The air pressure in the entire scientific research bureau is very low, food is the most important thing for the people, if there is not enough food to eat, there is nothing to say.

Now the whole world is in the shadow of the fog, and each country has no surplus food in its hands, let alone lending this precious material to others. Even if they can survive this winter, what if the pests are still there next spring?The seeds they planted were also bitten?

Pest control is imminent.

Lin Qiming helped out in the H1 area in the early years. His university newspaper was also an agricultural college, but he later changed his major and became a colleague with Shen Li. He has great insights in crops, and was immediately borrowed to study together after this problem occurred.

"Actually, the pest infestation is not the worst here. It is more serious in the south." A colleague told Shen Li, "The hotter the place, the more severe the pest infestation, but the insect infestation is less in the north. If the crops here cannot be kept, we can only work hard. Keep the food in the north."

"Also, we need to find a way to ensure that there is enough food in the worst case."

"At present, finding aquatic plants and fish is one way." My colleague sighed, "But aquatic life is another field. Our progress has not reached the bottom of the sea yet."

Shen Li thought for a while, "If we can't get rid of these pests, shall we eat sea vegetables and fish together?"

"Do you like to eat fish?" A colleague asked curiously.

Shen Li shook his head, "No, I'm allergic to seafood."

The colleague sighed, and he patted Shen Li on the shoulder, "In order not to eat fish every day in the future, let's work hard and find a way."

But how can it be so easy to find new edible organisms? Shen Li and colleagues in the biological research area sorted out all the species that have been identified as harmless, and selected species that can be planted and cultivated. It is best to feed them in water, because Most pests cannot survive in water.

The final result was 0, and they had to turn the direction to the minor toxin emergency level.

Unfortunately, the result is still 0.

"No, there is none at all." Duan Mingming stretched his waist, "The places where creatures in nature live are the ground, the sky and the water. The ground and the sky will be bitten by pests, unless they go to places where oxygen is thin, not just plants. If we can’t grow up, neither can we, and now we can only rely on aquatic organisms.”

"But you can't eat fish every day, you will get sepsis." Colleagues retorted.

"Is there still sepsis?" Shen Li asked.

"Of course there is. Humans are not the only ones who suffer from sepsis. Most organisms suffer from the lack of trace elements."

Duan Mingming shrugged, "That can't be helped. We are looking for emergency solutions. Of course, it takes a long time to develop new types of food."

At this moment, a phone call came, and the nearest Duan Mingming reached out to answer the phone.

"Hello, this is the biological research area of ​​the Scientific Research Bureau."

"What?" Duan Mingming frowned slightly, "Are you sure?"

He stood up, and then looked at the people around him, "Something went wrong, the pests spread to the safe area, and all harmless plants began to be bitten, and the number is increasing."

Everyone was stunned, "What did you say?"

"I've made sure, it's true." Duan Mingming hurriedly said, "Let's go out first to see what's going on."

Because they didn't know the situation, they didn't go to one place alone, but chose to form a team to check the situation in the most serious place. Shen Li accidentally got together with Duan Mingming, and both of them put on protective clothing and gloves. When they arrived in Area A, they saw something gray covering the green plants on the street as soon as they got out of the car.

Looking closely at Shen Li and the others, they saw that there were several insects stacked together, gnawing on the branches and leaves with mouthparts, and they could even hear the sound of the insects gnawing on the leaves.

Branches and leaves are eaten away at a very fast speed.

Shen Li and Duan Mingming took a rough look at the location within a ten-meter radius, and confirmed that this area was full of bugs eating plants.

"That's too much. Based on this amount, if you don't intervene, the plants here will be gnawed clean within a week." Duan Mingming roughly judged from the gnawing speed of a bug, "If they will Breed immediately, and the speed will be even faster."

Shen Li reached out to pick up a bug with gloves on.

The bug struggled in his hand, and when he found that he couldn't get out, he bit it off with his mouthparts. It couldn't bite through Shen Li's gloves, but its bite was so strong that Shen Li pulled it out of his glove twice. Pull off the glove.

"What kind of insect is this?" Duan Mingming asked Shen Li.

"You shouldn't ask me, I should be the person who knows the least in our area." Shen Li said casually, he held up the bug and pointed it at the sun to watch its various parts.

Duan Mingming said, "There are too many types of insects, and it's not uncommon to eat plants like this. Do you think it might be a mutation of locusts?"

"The locust mutation can't be so small, and it's so fierce." Shen Li shook the bug in his hand, and was bitten again.

Speaking of which, Shen Li took a photo of the worm and sent it directly to Lin Qiming who was in the agricultural area. Lin Qiming always gave Shen Li special attention, because Lin Qiming knew that Shen Li must have something to do with him, and he never would disturb others.

So soon, Lin Qiming's message came back.

strange:! ! !Brother, where did you take this bug? !

Unremarkable: Area A.

Weird: what? !

Unremarkable: It just happened today. I don’t know where a group of insects flew in, biting the harmless plants in Area A. Because the number was very large and they ate them very quickly, it caused panic. Let’s come out and have a look. Is the plague of insects over there a type of insect?

Strange and strange: exactly the same!

Soon Lin Qiming sent over the research he had done in the agricultural area.

This is a newborn insect that has not yet been discovered. Lin Qiming tentatively named it Chong H, which means the pest found in the H area.

The habits of insect H are similar to locusts, they can eat crops and various delicate green plants, and gather insects, but unlike locusts, they eat food several times faster than locusts, and there is poison in their bodies. This poison is human It cannot be metabolized.

In an experimental field that had been gnawed, Lin Qiming found that they were gathering to attack small animals because they were not full, and would kill each other if there were no small creatures.

Lin Qiming also studied its reproduction within a limited period of time, and found that its reproduction speed is also very fast. It can even be said that their whole life is for eating and reproduction.

"After the green plants are eaten up, they will eat harmless small animals and birds, and it is unknown whether they will develop into attacks on humans in the end." Lin Qiming made a very bad judgment, "I actually thought that they would run away because of insufficient food. The safe area ate harmless green plants, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."

Shen Li nodded, "Then do you have a strategy?"

"Not for the time being. We have used a lot of pesticides, which were effective at first, but as the reproduction speeds up, their resistance to pesticides is getting higher and higher from generation to generation."

"Biological control has not found a way?"

"With such a large group of pests and such a strong attack force, those animals that can be used for biological control basically become their food." Lin Qiming sighed, and was even a little annoyed, "Brother, you can understand what I mean, right?" ? Our early biological controls didn't work at all because they couldn't get rid of these bugs."

Shen Li thought for a while, "If you don't have enough combat power, you will be eaten back."

"Okay, I see."

After listening to Shen Li's chat, Duan Mingming sent the data to their research group after Shen Li and Lin Qiming agreed.

【How to do? 】

[It's not easy. 】

[But we need to find a way to solve it. These bugs are too edible, otherwise we will also remove them manually? 】

[Where do we have so many people?Let the Special Bureau assist? 】

Shen Li looked at the news, and blinked his eyes after a while, "Duan Mingming, you said to find a natural enemy creature that is more powerful than these bugs, can you get rid of these bugs?"

"Can we not talk about it, where can we find natural enemies stronger than these things?" Duan Mingming put a piece of paper next to the insect's mouthparts, stabbed it, and the white paper was bitten by a wide mouth, "This thing kills The force is huge, so I will tell the communications department first, and ask them to send a notice telling everyone not to go out for the time being."

Watching Duan Mingming run to make a phone call, Shen Li stood there thinking for a moment.

Then he turned on the phone and scrolled down, found An He's number in the communication list with only a few and dialed it.

"Hello, this is the Gene Prevention and Control Section of the Special Bureau."

"Shen Li." Shen Li directly reported his family name, "Are you free now?"

"Why are you calling?" An He greeted the colleagues behind him, and then walked out of the department to a place where no one was around, "What's wrong? A genetic disease has been discovered again? But aren't you guys researching insect plagues recently? I heard that I was so anxious that I couldn’t even eat.”

Shen Li sighed, "I will never find out where there is a genetic disease, don't listen to the nonsense on the Internet."

An He smiled, "Then what are you calling me for? Condolences to a new friend you just met in your busy schedule?"

"I want to borrow something from you." While talking on the phone, Shen Li continued to look at the worm that was being carried by it. The worm spread its wings and seemed to want to fly out of his fingers, but it was a pity that it could only escape by breaking its legs. , Shen Li didn't give it this chance, but stuffed it into the biological tank that he brought with him.

"Borrow something from me? Borrow what?" An He was puzzled.

Shen Li put the biological tank next to it, and the bugs kept flopping inside but couldn't fly out.

"Do you know what the first thing I thought of when I saw this overwhelming bug?"

"Insecticide?"

"No." Shen Li turned to look at the group of insects, "It's praying mantis."

"Captain An, can you lend me the mantis that you have quarantined?"

An He: ...? ? ?

What did Shen Li say just now?Did he suddenly get out of his body and hear wrongly?But it seems that it is indeed something that Shen Li can say?

This guy borrowed the genetic variant of the praying mantis from him? !

What's going on in his head!
