In less than a minute, all the desert locusts in the sky were killed and fell to the ground. The faces of the people were full of excitement.
"Great, we finally got rid of these nasty bugs."
Until this moment, Su Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
With this good start, his subsequent locust extermination operations are bound to go more smoothly.
Facts have proved that high concentrations of pesticides are indeed fatal to desert locusts!
"Great! Great! These hateful locusts were finally killed by us!"
In the sky, the people cheered uncontrollably, and everyone was immersed in great joy.
Every minute and every second that followed, the desert locusts in the sky continued to die and fall.
"At the current rate, these locusts will be killed in less than a stick of incense!"
"Based on the effectiveness of these high-concentration pesticides, you don't need to spray again for the next three days. You just need to wait quietly for the results."
Su Chen took a long breath.
Even at this time, Su Chen still had no intention of asking everyone to evacuate the sky. He wanted to wait for the next locust reaction to see if everything was as the system said.
When a gap appeared in the sky near Su Chen and the others, the locusts around them seemed to have noticed something and immediately flew over to fill the gap.
However, within a few breaths, these locusts fell towards the ground just like the previous batch of locusts.
"Sure enough, the power of this medicine is indeed very long-lasting!"
Seeing this scene, Su Chen felt completely at ease, and told the people to fly back to the city.
…
"Old Wang, how is the situation now?
Have those locusts been killed?
!”
"How does it feel to fly into the sky?
Has the Protector's method worked?
!”
When Su Chen and others returned to Guancheng, they were immediately surrounded by the people. Everyone was full of expectations for the outcome of this operation.
"do you know?
When I was in heaven just now, I felt that my whole being was unreal!"
"Under the command of Lord Protector, we have eliminated a large number of locusts!"
"At that time, the situation was like this..."
Once back on the ground, those who participated in the spraying operation happily told the people about their experiences.
After hearing these surprising things, the people also let out bursts of exclamations.
"The Lord Protector is truly a god! Ask the locusts, who are invincible and visible to everyone, to be killed just like that!"
While the people were immersed in joy, Su Chen was still busy. He wanted to sort out all the data of this operation.
According to his analysis, with the current spraying efficiency of more than 800 hot air balloons and the persistence of pesticides, he can wipe out all the locusts in the entire city in just three days!
"After the problem of city viewing is solved, you can go to the next city..."
"Currently, the locust plague in Guancheng should be one of the most serious areas in the entire Tang Dynasty..."
And while Su Chen was analyzing the data, a loud noise suddenly sounded around him.
"The life-saving grace of the Protector will be remembered by the common people forever!"
"The life-saving grace of the Protector will be remembered by the common people forever!"
When Su Chen asked where he was, he saw the people in the square kneeling on the ground and shouting at him.
Obviously, the people had planned it early in the morning.
However, facing the people's kneeling and worshiping, Su Chen felt a little complicated inside.
Although he has now successfully eliminated the locusts, the high concentration of pesticides also means that the fertility of the sprayed land has been destroyed.
I am afraid that within the next few years, these lands will no longer be able to grow any food.
"How should I tell the people..."
Seeing the happy faces of the people, Su Chen didn't know how to speak for a while.
The situation has just improved now. If Su Chen suddenly told them such bad news, the people might do something drastic.
Let's wait until all the locusts are wiped out. It's really not appropriate for anything to go wrong now, Su Chen thought to himself.
Regarding the fact that high-concentration pesticides will damage the fertility of the land, Su Chen actually had a rough countermeasure early on, but he just needed to take it step by step.
After several years of external expansion, Datang's territory had already reached an extremely vast area, and there were countless wastelands waiting to be reclaimed.
Since the original cultivated land in Guancheng has been destroyed, it is better to let the people go elsewhere to reclaim wasteland and grow food.
At the same time, Su Chen plans to provide generous welfare benefits to those people who are willing to cultivate land.
In this way, we can mobilize the enthusiasm of the people in this regard.
Of course, it is not possible for all people to leave their homes and cultivate wasteland.
In this regard, Su Chen also thought of corresponding countermeasures.
It just so happened that the Guancheng area was rich in mineral resources. Su Chen planned to transform Guancheng and build it into the first industrial city in the Tang Dynasty!
Building an industrial city is what Su Chen has always wanted to do, but he just didn't have the right opportunity.
Especially after this locust plague, Su Chen became more and more aware of the importance of industrialization.
Although Su Chen now owns hundreds of iron smelting workshops and is the leader of the Tang Dynasty's iron industry, in terms of productivity, it is still somewhat unsatisfactory.
Take the production speed of hot air balloons as an example. In the past few months, despite the continuous production of all workshops, there are still only a few of more than 800.
In Su Chen's opinion, this efficiency is actually a bit low.
If Su Chen now has thousands or tens of thousands of hot air balloons, then he can directly let people spray large areas in the north instead of running here and there.
As long as Su Chen can successfully build an industrial city and increase productivity.
Then Su Chen is confident that he will raise the Tang Dynasty to a terrifying height in just a few years!
Su Chen understood clearly and had already made a rough plan.
After the locusts in the city are eliminated, Su Chen will start to implement it.
"Everyone doesn't have to be so polite. Get up quickly."
Su Chen said to the people who were still kneeling before him: "As the Protector of the Tang Dynasty, these are my duties."
"Right now, the locusts have not been completely eliminated, and we cannot relax for a moment!"
"When the locusts are wiped out, I will celebrate with you!"
"Now, everyone is ready. We are about to start the next operation. We must eliminate all locusts!"
