Moreover, the locust plague was not as terrible as this time.
What is going on?
Su Chen frowned and started thinking.
Su Chen felt something unusual about the fact that the locust plague was ahead of schedule and the disaster was getting more serious.
Logically speaking, any disaster will be accompanied by warning signs before it occurs.
For example, earthquakes may cause a series of omens such as animal migration, poultry chirping uneasily, abnormal light and color in the sky, and well water suddenly drying up.
And the locust plague is no different.
However, according to normal natural laws, signs of locust plagues only begin in spring.
Because only in spring, when the ice and snow melt and the temperature warms up, can locust eggs hatch in large numbers.
But now we have entered winter, which is not suitable for locust breeding at all.
Based on the information obtained so far, Su Chen can be sure of at least one thing.
This locust plague is definitely not a normal natural phenomenon!
Even if my own time-travel appears and causes various butterfly reactions, it is impossible to say that it will affect natural disasters such as the locust plague!
It all seems like someone is controlling everything behind the scenes...
Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things, the top priority is to control the disaster first!
Su Chen suppressed all the suspicions in his mind and decided to start with the situation at hand. After everything was settled, he would explore the cause.
"Besides this secret letter, is there any other information coming to Guanzhou, such as the corpses of those locusts?"
Su Chen said.
"there is none left."
His Majesty Li Er shook his head and continued: "Is it possible that this locust can have any other skills?"
“Not only that, it’s huge!”
Su Chen said with a serious face: "There are more types of locusts than you know, and each different species has different characteristics!"
"Only comprehensive and targeted medicine can effectively eliminate this locust plague!"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji and others on the side nodded frequently. It seemed that the Protector was far more knowledgeable than they imagined.
"Okay, I will send someone to bring back some samples!"
His Majesty Li Er summoned a hundred cavalrymen to carry out the matter as quickly as possible.
"Remember, we have to ask people to investigate where this locust plague first appeared from!"
Su Chen added.
After Baiqi took the order and left, His Majesty Li Er asked Su Chen: "How sure are you that you can solve this locust plague?"
"It's hard for me to say anything about this. Before I get the most accurate information, even I don't dare to vouch for it!"
With Su Chen's ability, it's not that he can't solve this locust plague, but he doesn't dare to mess around.
Disasters such as locust plagues are difficult to deal with in modern times, not to mention in ancient times.
In some film and television dramas, if there is a locust plague, the most common way for people to deal with the locust plague is with one word - "eat"!
No matter how many locusts there are, the foodies will eat as many as they can until the locusts disappear!
However, this approach is actually wrong!
Because manpower is always limited, any locust plague cannot be solved by eating. At that time, just the investment in catching locusts will be a huge consumption of manpower.
This method is only suitable for trying in the later stages of the locust plague. Now I can only think of other methods.
Nowadays, there is such a large-scale locust plague in the Tang Dynasty, even Su Chen feels a bit serious!
"Currently, the most important thing we have to do is to control the scope of the locust plague. Once the locust plague goes south and enters Guanzhong, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Su Chen said in a deep voice.
It is winter now, and locusts are bound to lay eggs in large numbers. If the range cannot be controlled well, when the locust eggs hatch in spring and a new locust plague comes, the situation will be even more difficult!
"In the past, if this kind of disaster occurred, people would be organized to capture and control it, but this time the situation is probably uncontrollable with the population of Sanzhou."
Du Ruhui said.
"I know this. If we want to deal with the locust plague now, we can only use other methods."
Su Chen said in a deep voice.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the imperial study became extremely solemn.
If it was just to eliminate the locust plague, Su Chen could exchange pesticides through the system and spray them over a large area.
In this case, the locust plague will disappear, but it will leave more serious side effects!
Simply using a large amount of drugs to control locust plagues will lead to contamination of farmland, and it will be impossible to resume farming within five or six years.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Su Chen would never directly use pesticides to control the locust plague.
It does more harm than good!
After thinking for a long time, Su Chen decided to use drugs, but he must not use them all at once and use them in a gentle way.
After seeing Su Chen's brows gradually unfurling, the mentality of Changsun Wuji and others changed accordingly.
Is there a solution?
They have been discussing with His Majesty Li Er all morning, but there is no effective method.
Right now, Su Chen is their only hope.
If even Su Chen had nothing to do, then they could only use the clumsiest method and summon the people to catch the locusts.
However, even if this is the case, it cannot change the final outcome of the locust plague.
I am afraid that by then, when the locust plague is resolved, it will be time for the Tang Dynasty to return to its pre-liberation state.
"Now I have a method that may be able to deal with this locust plague."
As soon as the words fell, Changsun Wuji and others immediately raised their spirits.
"I can create a drug that can kill locusts, but this drug has serious side effects. It must be used according to my plan, otherwise once problems occur, the land will no longer be able to be cultivated!"
Su Chen said.
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
In this era, land is the lifeblood of the people. Once the land cannot be cultivated, it is equivalent to a devastating blow!
"Okay, when the time comes, everything will be subject to your arrangements!"
Li Erbi said.
Next, Su Chen briefly talked about his methods and precautions when using drugs!
"Okay, I'll have the medicines brought over when I get back, and then you can order them to be delivered. Remember, you must do as I say!"
"If it weren't for the current emergency, I wouldn't want to take this approach. This is already the safest method at the moment."
After Su Chen finished speaking, Changsun Wuji and others expressed unanimous agreement.
Now that the situation is urgent, Su Chendu's method is considered the best approach.
"Okay, I'll go back now. The things and the specific instructions for using them will be delivered by tomorrow morning at the latest."
