Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

"Right now, these locusts are still thousands of kilometers away from our pasture, but did you know that with the help of wind, these locusts can fly nearly [-] kilometers in one day!"

Parker's words immediately startled Wang Lu!
Flying two hundred kilometers a day?

This may be easy for some birds, but for small and medium-sized insects such as locusts, it is a quite exaggerated number!
Parker continues.

"In other words, if these locusts want to, these pests can reach our pasture in less than a week!"

"But if that's just the case, you don't have to worry, because the movement routes of these locusts are actually regular and can even be said to be fixed!"

This time, before Wang Lu could ask a question, this guy gave the answer first!

"It's the power of the wind! Boss, although these locusts appear to be overwhelming, they are actually very weak. When flying in the air, they basically fly in the direction of the airflow. This saves more effort and is also because they are It is inherently difficult to fly against the wind because it is too physically demanding for their weak bodies!”

After hearing this, Wang Lu already understood something!
The traveling routes of these locust swarms are most likely synchronized with the direction of the airflow!

Therefore, as long as the general direction of air flow is predicted, we can actually make a rough guess about the traveling route of these locusts.

Even Old Wei and several other veterans who had been listening beside him also interrupted:

"That's right, when we were kids, those locusts basically flew with the wind!"

"Sometimes if the wind is strong, the locusts can't fly at all. They stay in the grass nests and can only fly with the wind!"

"That's it!"

Parker brought the topic back at this time.

"Our pasture was not originally on the path of these locusts, and they had no chance of visiting our pasture!"

Parker spread his hands helplessly:
"But everything is different now. The tropical cyclone that is about to land will cause some damage to the coastal areas, but for us, this spoiler is likely to disrupt the movement route of the locusts... According to It is predicted that those locusts are likely to be carried by this new tropical cyclone and pass through our pasture!"

After Parker finished speaking, Wang Lu, who completely understood, couldn't eat anymore!

What the fuck is this called!
Born in a mountain village, he is well aware of the dangers of locusts.

He had often caught this thing in the fields when he was a child. Wang Lu knew that there was basically no end to catching this thing. It was found in the fields every year, and once the number increased, it would be a disaster for the crops in the fields!
The locust plague is no joke!

In the news that Parker just showed to Wang Lu, the number of locusts was overwhelming, definitely reaching the disaster level!
There are a lot of crops in the pasture. Rice, corn and wheat seedlings are all at a critical stage. If they are visited by these locusts, it will basically be doomed!

Although Wang Lu is not short of rice, corn and other food crops now, he can just spend money to buy food.But Wang Lu would not be happy if all these good crops were fed to locusts.

And in addition to food, the vegetables, fruit trees and other crops grown by oneself may not be spared!
It can be said that if locusts really cross the border, the farming industry in the pasture living area may have to start over...
Wang Lu immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately tried to find a way to confirm how accurate Parker's guess was.

Wang Lu also immediately called old Sanders:
"Sanders, I was wondering if you have any friends in meteorology. I think I need an expert in this field to judge some things for me now!"

After Wang Lu briefly talked about locusts and tropical cyclones, Old Sanders also realized the seriousness of the problem:
"Boss, I will ask my friends at the World Meteorological Organization to help verify this. They have a special weather model, and the results will be available very quickly!"

Wang Lu had always recognized Sanders's connections. After hanging up the phone, Wang Lu quietly waited for the news.

Old Sanders called Wang Lu back that day:

"Boss, I'm afraid I have to report to you some not-so-good news. My friends at the World Meteorological Organization told me that after model calculations, those damn locusts are likely to change due to the addition of new tropical cyclones. Route, your pasture is in their new flight path!”

Wang Lu's face twitched when he heard this.

"In fact, these damn locusts will wreak havoc every once in a while. They can even fly all the way from the desert across the Red Sea, reach Africa and then continue flying to Asia!"

Old Sanders's words made Wang Lu speechless. These locusts can run so well, right? They have already circled half of the world!

But these things are no longer his concern. The most important thing now is how to deal with the coming locust plague!

He didn't want the small African Jiangnan he had worked so hard to build to be destroyed by these locusts!
There is no doubt that the damage caused by locusts crossing the border is huge!

A large number of past cases have proven this, and the locust plague can almost be regarded as a natural disaster!
The destructive power of this thing cannot be overstated. The famous third brother's grain reserves for one year were directly eaten by locusts passing through the border... This thing is also very simple and crude in destroying crops and crops, that is, everything is completely destroyed. Eat.

The gnawing intensity of hundreds of millions of locusts can make you dumbfounded. This is no joke. The destructive power of locust plagues is recognized around the world!
"I'm afraid that not only the living areas, but also the grassland areas will be invaded by then!"

Wang Lu thought worriedly, but he wasn't too worried about the grassland outside.

After all, the growth cycle of the grass on the grassland is very short. Even if all of it is eaten by the locusts, it will not delay the growth of the next batch of grass.

Moreover, those locusts cannot eat all the grass, so they have little impact on the herbivorous animals on the grassland.

Of course, the area of ​​​​the grassland is too large. Even if Wang Lu wants to control it, he may not be able to do anything. This is beyond the scope of manpower!
So Wang Lu immediately clarified his prevention and control scope, that is, crops around the living area and other crops! (End of chapter)
