In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm

Chapter 266 Li Si’s special medicine

Xia Qing did not act in a hurry. Instead, he sprayed a bucket of insecticide outside his precious green spinach and green sweet potato greenhouses, then took a piece of grass with caterpillars crawling on it and rushed to Territory No. 9. She also wanted to hear experts' opinions on what kind of evolutionary bugs had suddenly appeared.

At the passage in the middle of the territory, Xia Qing saw Zhao Ze, Kuang Qingwei, Qi Fu and Shi Du wearing protective clothing, surrounding a short woman asking questions.

This woman was not wearing protective clothing or a protective mask. She was wearing a white coat, glasses, and a fair, round face. She should be around thirty years old.

Hearing her cold tone, Xia Qing confirmed that this was Lord No. 9, Li Si of the Fire Team, whom he had heard about for a long time but had never met in person.

“This is the larvae of the evolved thorn moth. Its egg stage lasts for more than half a year, and the larval stage only lasts about three days.”

Kuang Qingwei couldn't believe it, "Sister Four, you mean that this little bug can grow up and turn into a chrysalis in three days?"

Li Si nodded, "Yes, the evolved thorn moth larvae will crawl into the soil to pupate when they grow up. The thorn moth will also lay its eggs on the stems and leaves of plants close to the soil, which is difficult to completely remove. Once human skin comes into contact with the larvae The thorns on the body will cause severe pain and burning, and contact with a large amount will cause death. After hatching, the insects will continue to eat, grow to more than three centimeters in two or three days, and then burrow into the soil and form worms. pupa."

"Oh my God!" Kuang Qingwei's hand holding the blade of grass trembled. "There are a lot of these things in my territory. There must be a lot of bugs to hatch. They can eat up the territory in a few days. Yes. Team Tan!”

 Tan Junjie nodded, turned to the side and reported the pest situation in the territory under his jurisdiction.

Li Si looked at the grass blades Shi Du brought and quickly made a judgment, "This is a miner moth larvae. It is less harmful than the evolved thorn moth larvae, but this kind of larvae is a favorite food of many birds."

The corners of Shi Du's mouth that had just turned up suddenly drooped down, and the insects attracting birds were even more terrifying.

When Xia Qing came closer, Qi Fu was handing a corn leaf to Li Si to look at, "Fourth sister, what kind of insect do you think this is?"

Li Si used his palm to push up the golden temples and observed carefully for a few seconds, "This is the larvae of the borer. It cannot be seen from the physical characteristics whether it has evolved."

Zhao Ze’s eyes widened, “There are worms in the corn too?!”

Qi Fu continued to ask, "Fourth sister, the borer is the heart borer, right?"

Li Si answered rigorously, "Before the natural disaster, borer borer and borer borer were both known as core borers and were major crop pests. Such insects must be eliminated as soon as possible."

Zhao Ze didn't understand, "Our insect-proof shed has been built a long time ago. When we planted the first crop of crops, there were no insects in the greenhouse. How come there are insects in the second crop?"

Li Si calmly replied, "The appearance of insects must be due to insect eggs in the shed. As for how the eggs entered, it needs a comprehensive inspection to determine. The most important thing at the moment is to eliminate the insects, otherwise it will cause crop yield reduction."

Seeing Xia Qing coming over with blades of grass, Zhao Ze glanced at the bug above and said, "This is the larvae of the evolved thorn moth. It is poisonous. Be careful. Thank you for discovering it early, otherwise our territory would be eaten by this bug. Empty."

Kuang Qingwei asked quickly, "Does Fourth Sister have any special medicine to kill insects?"

 Li Si nodded, "Yes."

Assistant Xiao Liu took a step forward, holding a folder in his left hand and a pen in his right hand. He started to take the business with a smile on his face, "If you, the lords, need to buy special insecticides, you can register with me. There is one thing that needs to be informed to the lords in advance: The evolved thorn moth is resistant to pesticides, and the ordinary pesticides you get from the Territory Management Department are ineffective against it. Our special pesticide in Territory No. 9 is patented and slightly expensive, 500 ml and 200 points, but it can be used. Spray and protect ten acres of land to ensure it is effective." After hearing the price, the lords' enthusiasm for purchasing special insecticides was mostly dispelled.

Only Tang Huai is still asking, "Assistant Liu, is your special medicine effective only for these types of bugs, or is it effective for all bugs?"

 Xiao Liu answered professionally and patiently, “It is effective on all lepidopteran insect larvae, except for a very small number of advanced evolved insects that have developed resistance.”

Tang Huai was not only unhappy after hearing this, but also a little worried, "Will the cicada larvae also be killed?"

 Everyone…

Xiao Liu politely reminded, "Mr. Tang, cicadas belong to the order Hemiptera, not Lepidoptera."

Li Si is more rigorous, “If the cicada larvae hatches during the spraying period or within three days after spraying, it will also be affected by the effect of the drug and its activity will be reduced.”

Tang Huai's thoughts about buying medicine disappeared immediately, "Thank you, Fourth Sister. This medicine is too expensive, I have to ask the lord for instructions first."

Tan Junjie came over and said, "The investigation team has reported the insect situation to the management department. From the 11th to the 26th, there were also varying degrees of insect infestations. The helicopter will arrive in an hour and a half and spray the 'evolved version' of insecticide. The scope includes the territory and the nearby evolutionary forest ten miles away. Please return to the territory immediately to prepare. When the plane comes, you must close the doors and windows and wear protective masks. Do not open the windows or remove the protective masks for four hours after spraying. "

Hearing Tan Junjie deliberately emphasize that the plane will be sprayed with improved pesticides, all the lords planned to see the results of the pest control before deciding whether to buy Li Si's special medicine, assistant Xiao Liu couldn't hold on to his business-like smile.

 “Xia Qing.”

When everyone dispersed, Li Si only stopped Xia Qing. Li Si stared at Xia Qing's red face and said in a cold voice, "Are there any borer larvae in your farmland? With the conservative style of Huisan Base, even if the pesticide this time is an improved version, it will only It’s effective against one or two types of insects, but it can’t kill the borer.”

Xia Qing nodded immediately, "Thank you, Fourth Sister, for reminding me. I will go back and check each plant one by one to catch insects."

Li Si stared at Xia Qing's back for a while before returning to his territory.

  After returning to the territory, Xia Qing sprayed pesticides on the open space outside each greenhouse and small shed. The insecticide she used was the non-improved version that the base regularly distributes. Although the effect is not as good, spraying it is better than not spraying it at all.

 Without knowing how many helicopters there were and where to start spraying, Xia Qing naturally used all available methods.

 After spraying the medicine, Xia Qing went home to collect the pine cones hanging on the roof.

Before the pine cones were collected, Xia Qing received a call from Qi Fu and discussed buying medicine with her, "I found Cruciatus in my corn shed and mung bean shed yesterday, and I also sprayed pesticides, but it seems like we got them Insecticides are not very effective. Sister, should we buy the special medicine from Territory 9? I always feel uneasy. "

Xia Qing asked, "Brother Qi is afraid that the special pesticide he spent a lot of money on won't work?"

“It’s not just this.” Qi Fu explained, “I’m also worried that the medicine will be too powerful, causing the quality of the crops or seeds in the field to deteriorate.”
