Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 568 The overwhelming locusts!
Fortunately, the threat of these locusts is limited to crops and grassland areas. It should not have any impact on the helium field development site in the Woulu Mountains and the mining of tanzanite mines. After all, these guys are not capable of even those steel machinery. Did you chew it off?
Wang Lu spent four days protecting the crops at the ranch, which included waiting for the greenhouse films and protective nets to be transported from Dar es Salaam to the ranch.

On the third day after all the protective measures were taken, Wang Lu noticed something was wrong when he got up.

After Wang Lu woke up, he actually saw a lively grasshopper, that is, a locust, on the sink in his bathroom!

He frowned slightly, and after pinching the grasshopper that broke into his house without being polite, Wang Lu also observed it. In appearance, this guy was not much different from the grasshopper in his impression. , it is not just African locusts that are special.

Just like yellow people and black people, they have different skin colors, but they don’t have two shoulders to carry the same head!

However, it should not be mentioned that the surface color of the so-called desert locusts is mostly yellow, with only some parts having black as dividing lines, which actually corresponds to the desert in their name.

Moreover, this guy's body is quite fat, and it looks like he is fat and strong!
After holding this guy and walking out of the villa, Wang Lu also noticed that there were a lot of traces of these things in the ranch!
At least since he walked out, he has seen at least a dozen desert locusts suddenly popping out of the grass nest and flying into the sky!
This means that these desert locusts have officially entered the area where the ranch is located!

He casually flicked the unlucky egg on hand to the ground, and immediately a nearby guinea fowl jumped over, accurately pecked the desert locust with its sharp beak, and then swallowed it into its belly.

Seeing this situation, Wang Lu also showed a satisfied look.

It seems that poultry such as guinea fowl and ducks are still effective in controlling locusts.

A large number of guinea fowls and ducks have been scattered in the pasture of the living area, happily pecking at these desert locusts.

After all, for them, these insects rich in high-quality protein can be regarded as a snack!
While Wang Lu was observing, Parker also came over.

"Boss, I suggest that starting from today, all the doors and windows in your villa must be closed tightly, otherwise you will soon find that your house is full of these damn locusts!"

Facing Parker's suggestion and thinking about the locust that just broke into his bathroom, Wang Lu also agreed.

Immediately, he personally checked whether all the doors and windows of his wooden villa were closed tightly, determined not to leave any opportunity for those locusts to take advantage of.

The same is true for the veterans' dormitories, and even all the buildings on the ranch have to be fully closed for the past two days.

Wang Lu even took the time to check the hydropower station on the lower reaches of the Dome River. Important machine rooms also had to be inspected to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by these locusts, although this possibility was very small.

By the way, Wang Lu also inspected the protection situation in the crop fields.

There are already many locusts on those protective nets that are eager to break through the protective nets and eat the tender stems and leaves of those food crops. After all, these food crops are their favorite food compared to those pastures.

Therefore, these hundreds of acres of grain land also have the highest density of locusts in the entire pasture.But fortunately, the quality of those protective nets is pretty good. Those locusts can only worry outside, but they have no way to break in.

The same goes for the vegetable fields. The locusts are more obvious on the white plastic film...
After Wang Lu and the veterans worked all morning, the number of locusts in the entire ranch had increased several times compared to when they woke up in the morning.

So much so, that as soon as Wang Lu got off the Raptor, he felt like grasshoppers would jump out of his surroundings anytime and anywhere!
If you take a quick look, you can see three or two grasshoppers in every haystack nearby. This density is scary enough!
"Boss, this is nothing, these are just appetizers!"

Parker said to Wang Lu seriously, which immediately stunned Wang Lu.

Because there were too many grasshoppers outside the pasture, Wang Lu and the veterans even ate indoors for lunch.

It was not until two or three ten in the afternoon after lunch that Wang Lu understood the meaning of Parker's words.

At first, Wang Lu only heard a faint buzzing sound and did not realize the seriousness of the problem, but soon a veteran reminded him:
"Here we come! Boss!"

Wang Lu subconsciously looked into the distance. He was stunned and took a breath.

A large group of gray shadows appeared in the sky not far away, almost occupying the entire end of Wang Lu's sight, as if the entire world was mosaic!
The endless desert locusts are flapping their wings and moving quickly towards their pastures.

Moreover, they were traveling very fast. Only then did Wang Lu realize the seriousness of the problem. After being reminded by Parker, he quickly went indoors to escape. Through the glass window, Wang Lu witnessed the landing of hundreds of millions of locusts. In your own ranch!
Looking at the glass windows that were quickly covered with desert locusts, Wang Lu finally saw the horror of the locust plague.

Wherever you look, you can see desert locusts everywhere. These guys quickly occupy every corner of the ranch and then start eating like crazy!
Soon, Wang Lu realized how young he was for easily judging the destructive power of these locusts.

Although these locusts do not eat steel, they still temporarily stopped the helium field development and construction site!

A large number of locusts occupied the ground and the air, so that the visibility did not exceed five meters. The on-site construction was completely unable to proceed normally and had to be stopped...

Moreover, locust armies continue to join in the erosion of pastures...
During this period, some veterans went out to observe the situation for a while. When they came back, at least dozens of desert locusts shook off their coats, which shows how terrifying the density of these guys is.

"These things are really exaggerated. The hundreds of acres of crops we have are probably not enough for these guys to make a sacrifice!"

Old Wei also said with a palpitating expression, and Wang Lu nodded in agreement.

With such a density of locusts, if I don't prepare in advance, I'm afraid I'll have no harvest and I'll have to eat the old grain or spend money to buy grain.
