Chapter 363 Food War (13)

"Interesting, it's a real biological warfare."

After reading the report, Ian nodded with interest: "However, the plants in this world are much tougher than the earth in the previous life. Ordinary viruses, bacteria and fungi are useless."

"Especially the sublimation plants, in addition to the biomass, they also have a source structure that can correct errors. If you want to succeed once, the possibility is extremely low."

The rice seven bananas on the earth were extinct because of the specialized species of Fusarium oxysporum.This facultative parasitic fungus can infect a variety of plants and can persist in the soil for many years. The contaminated land can no longer grow the original crops.

However, it is aimed at self-replicating crops like bananas. Although ordinary plants will be affected by disasters, it is not difficult to recover.

And in Terra, the 'rot root fungus' developed by Flameland is indeed a more terrifying biological weapon than Fusarium oxysporum. With Ian's level of bioalchemy, one can see how terrifying this thing is .

——corrodes the root system, hinders nutrient transport, affects leaf development, and can be spread by various insects, birds and animals... It can even secrete highly toxic toxins and rot the soil.

If it is placed on the earth, it will definitely be a regional ecological disaster.

But its opponent is also a stronger Terra plant!
Ian doesn't dare to underestimate the plants on this planet. Among other things, who knows if there is such a thing as the flower of Karin?
As far as the plants in Nanling are concerned, they can even transmit vaccines against many different diseases through psionic energy. As long as one plant is immune, all individuals in this area will be immune!

As for the corrupted soil, it is even more ridiculous. It seems that Nanling does not have any creatures that feed on poison or can detoxify it. Even if it is nuclear radiation, look how prosperous the ecological circle of the South China Sea Labyrinth is.

Therefore, it was also mentioned in the report of Flame Land that they cannot pollute the land for a long time. They can only affect specific crops after a long period of research and cultivation, so that the production of key areas will be reduced during the critical period.

This requirement is much lower, and the effect may not be bad.

As long as there is a wave of food production reduction in Nanling during the war, followed by a wave of blockade by Grand Duke Sorin, the Nanling Legion will have to surrender without a fight.

"Oh, it seems that this is the war strategy of Feiyan Land. They are not stupid enough to send troops to fight guerrilla warfare and public security warfare in Nanling, so they directly fight the food war."

Putting this report in his pocket, Ian knew that he would gain a lot this time.

Not only can it reasonably predict Duke Sorin's surrender to the enemy in advance, but it can also make the imperial capital start to beware of the biological warfare in Feiyan Land earlier.

However, why didn't I see these in the dream of the worm's nest?

Ian thought about it carefully, and then smiled—the worm-like he pushed the entire Grand Duchy of Thorin all the way, and the joint efforts of the Empire and Flame couldn't stop it. Of course, he didn't remember such trivial things as biological warfare.

"However, Flameland can establish such a small biological data collection base within the empire, which proves that they should have a large laboratory in the west of the empire. Otherwise, they would not be able to cultivate the local strains of Nanling so quickly to get Biological weapons such as haemorrhagic stalker and rotting rhizome."

"Grand Duke Thorin, you should have completely thrown yourself into the Flame Land."

Ian searched for other documents, most of which were local business data.

Looking at it now, they just want to confirm Nanling's grain production and export data, so as to ensure that the long-planned crop production reduction will force Nanling's soldiers and civilians to surrender.

This is not a big deal at all, no matter how idle the imperial bureaucrats are, such things can still be discovered.

But Ian believed that since Flameland could corrupt a Duke of Thorin, he certainly wouldn't mind corrupting some officials in Nanling—it was their ignorance and connivance that made the Special Forces so rampant.

Even, maybe they are planning to hoard goods.

When the two countries fight and this year's harvest is almost destroyed by Feiyan's biological warfare, they can use the grain hoarded in the past few years to sell it for a fortune and reap the wealth fiercely.

"The head of this kind of person is also a merit. If you become a patrol knight, you can see which guys have been buying food on the market recently. When the time comes, go and check one by one. If you kill them all, there must be innocent ones. Kill someone who definitely slipped through the net."

Port Harrison almost ran out of food because of the war with the natives back then. If Viscount Grant hadn't used his own means to get a batch of aid, a large number of people might starve to death.

But in the future war between the two countries, not to mention one of the viscount's means, Patrick is dead, even if he still exists, it is estimated that he will not get much, and it will definitely not satisfy the population of Harrison Port, which has greatly increased.

Ian wrote this matter down on the silver chip's 'Notepad' and set key reminders.

And most importantly.

"Xiahuicao, isn't it my destination this time, a specialty of Laian's collar?"

The boy left the document storage place and looked at the things stored in other warehouses.

They are indeed some biological samples, most of which have been infected with various fungal pests, various crops, and have different characteristics.

Yellow and dry wheat leaves; potato vines that are so bright that they look poisonous; fruit tree branches with various wormholes and gray veins...

Among them happened to be a sample of Xiahuicao labeled as 'important sample, handle with care'.

This supposedly very beautiful spiritual plant has been entangled by gray-white mycelia so that its original shape cannot be seen. It is like the skeleton of a beautiful woman wrapped in layers of ropes. All that is left is decay, and the original blue mist has become ashen. .

【Xiahui Grass (corrupted)】

The silver chip also flashed such information.

Because Laianling's specialty is the psychic nourishing extract extracted from the Xiahui grass, an excellent tonic for psychics, it is regarded as a strategic goal by Fei Yandi, and it is the first one that the rot root fungus will use at that time. Experimental target.

This kind of blow will not last long, and the bio-alchemists of the empire are not vegetarians.

But the problem is that the main ingredients of Ian's second-level potion have been prepared, and the auxiliary ingredients can be delivered as soon as they arrive at the place. The only thing missing is the matrix. If it is late this time, the advanced stage will have to be delayed.

He has no time.

"Have to speed up."

Ian thought casually.He might as well kill all the members of Feiyan's Special Forces team along the way, since he just wanted to join the Patrol Knights and probably needed some merit.

He turned his head back, ready to clean up the corpses of the flying flames outside.Because he needed to use these people's heads, he didn't hit the vital point from the beginning.

When Ian returned to the caravan after packing up the heads of the three Ascendants and hanging them around his waist, everyone in the caravan had just started cooking.

The steward of the caravan wanted to show his hospitality, and when he asked Ian if he forgot to bring something, he saw three heads hanging from his waist.

"Wait, sir, do you mean..."

He trembled a little, not from fear, but excitedly.

As a member of Bai Zhimin, he is extremely looking forward to the significance of Ian's dispatch this time.

"Yes."

And Ian nodded, he untied the three heads, took out the documents from his pocket, and handed them to the other party: "Tomorrow morning, send some reliable people to bring the ghost, these heads, and these documents Back to Port Harrison."

"Don't worry, I've killed all the people, there's no danger - it's a great achievement, I'll send your confidants there."

"Yes, sir, I will definitely handle it!"

Hearing this, the steward swallowed, but his eyes shone brightly, he nodded and quickly agreed.
