Chapter 1811 Insect Plague

Parthia, a small town in Nayar state.

As the front line of the locust invasion of Anxi.

There are many experts who are concerned about this locust plague gathered here.

Professor Liu, who comes from an ancient Eastern country, brought his students to this small town very early and arranged instruments to capture more than 3,000 locusts overnight for research when locusts were crossing the border.

"The locusts this time are desert locusts. They are very different from the popular species in our country. They are large, eat an amazing amount of food, and move very fast."

"There are no real natural enemies, and when they gather in groups, they will produce trace amounts of toxins, making large predators reluctant to prey."

"In addition, there are many kinds of malignant bacteria and parasites including iron worms in the body. I think even if some people say that this stuff can aphrodisiac, not many people are willing to eat it, right?"

"Fortunately, we have the world's largest mountain range, and they can't get through."

After Professor Liu's students dissected hundreds of locusts, during a break when they were too tired to move, a chubby-faced student gasped and sighed with emotion:

"Even so, it is enough to cause collateral effects. Don't forget that Parthia is a food-producing country. It is estimated that the food output will be reduced by more than 3% this time, which is already very bad."

"But this is just the best result."

Next to the fat student, Professor Liu's favorite disciple looked at the locusts on the workbench with a serious expression and said:

"The hundreds of billions of locusts that invaded Anxi this time are just the vanguard."

"Besides, they should all have laid eggs..."

"yes."

Hearing that the locusts had laid eggs, the students around them nodded in fear.

Calculate the time, if the Parthian country does not work hard to find and remove the locust eggs.

By May and June, the locusts raging on this land will really have to be measured in trillions.

In the face of such an absolute number of locust plagues, it is not impossible for a swarm of insects that eats everything to pulse around the Himalayas.

Therefore, Professor Liu's team, for the sake of the country and the people, also pays attention to whether insect egg nests can be discovered.

Finding one now means that hundreds of millions of locusts can be eliminated in the future.

"Alas, it's a pity that this time the desert locusts did not develop the habit of laying eggs collectively. Otherwise, we would have the chance to kill them all in one go like Citigroup did a hundred years ago!"

The fat man shook his head and complained.

Before today’s locust plague appeared.

The largest locust outbreak on Aquamarine is in the northern Citi State, where Citi State is located.

There were locusts called the Red Rock Canyon Locust, which frequently brought blessings of trillion-level locust plagues to Citigroup, which greatly hindered Citigroup's western development at that time.

However, I don’t know if that century was really the era where Citigroup’s destiny was destined.

The Red Rock Canyon locust swarm, which has plagued the Citi State for hundreds of years and has been raging in the northern Citi State for who knows how many years, has actually been discovered in its spawning ground.

And even better, with few natural predators to speak of, they have become accustomed to gathering together to lay eggs.

Ever since, after being handed over from the same pot.

To this day, the locusts in Citiland have never returned to one-tenth of their original glory.

But such an operation is obviously not replicable.

The students just have expectations, and no one can take this as reality.

Click!

At this time, Professor Liu, who looked tired and had bloodshot eyes, opened the door and walked in. After seeing the students nodding, he sighed:

"No need to continue."

"Pack up and let's go back to China."

"Go back... go back?"

The students were slightly startled, a little surprised.

"Don't care about the locusts here?"

"When desert locusts fly, the best way is to pray to God for a widespread storm."

"Well... Now the official decision to pray to the gods to solve this incident has been decided."

Professor Liu paused and frowned slightly before continuing: "It's pretty much the same as this best method."

"Pray to the gods?"

A thin student showed a hint of surprise. This was the reaction that a future scientist, a person with three views established through thirty years of materialistic education, should have.

However, he was not a stubborn person after all, and he quickly understood:

"That Lady Feiya, the goddess of the moon?"

He knew that Feiya, the goddess of the moon, was a transcendent existence that truly existed in the world and claimed to be a god.

The celestial palace that aerospace experts are all vying to go to, as well as the lunar base on the moon that is accelerating expansion, all rely on the divine power of this moon goddess.

However, in the minds of most researchers.

After all, I don’t want to think that she is a true god.

In their hearts, there is only one true god, and that is the rules for the movement of this starry sky, which is the impersonal avenue.

No matter how great and mysterious the Personality of God appears, it is unbelievable.

After all, they are just intelligent life forms that have mastered powerful power.

"Did the Moon Goddess answer the Parthian's prayers?"

The chubby-faced student asked curiously.

"I don't know. It is said that a large ceremony is still being planned."

Professor Liu shook his head, sighed and changed the topic:

"Don't just relax. Our tasks will be serious after returning to China."

"ah?"

“Is there any agricultural crisis more serious than the locust plague?”

One student's eyes twitched and he looked at Professor Liu in disbelief.

Professor Liu was silent for a while, but nodded under everyone's incredulous looks.

"Remember the insect plague last year?"

Several students' pupils shrank when they heard this, thinking of those terrifying moths that appeared in the southwestern provinces of the country.

Those who had no natural enemies and no targeted pesticides to deal with made the participants exhausted at the time.

After a lot of effort, we were able to control the situation without actually killing people in the grain-producing areas. Therefore, there was no public opinion storm.

This time... coming again?

"We...didn't put it out at the beginning?"

Professor Liu smiled bitterly:

"If it were that easy, it wouldn't be listed as one of the ten most harmful things to Aquablue Star."

"Their nickname is Autumn Army Insects, and their maximum flying speed is more than three times that of locusts!"

"Not only have they not been exterminated, their numbers have exploded."

“It’s a mild winter this year!”

Professor Liu sighed, his tone full of uneasiness.

Warm winter.

Several experienced students trembled a few times, not knowing what the warm winter meant for the insect plague.

They will hatch out faster and then invade while the crops are still seedlings, causing greater harm!

At the same time, these fall armyworms lay more eggs as the temperature gets higher, and one can lay thousands of eggs!

And the main opponent this time is an emerging pest that most farmers and crops have never encountered!

And unlike the locusts that are still resting, these moths are already in the country!

They all felt that the burden on their shoulders was a little heavier.

"teacher."

A student whispered:

"We don't need to rest, let's leave early."

Professor Liu was slightly startled when he heard this, and then nodded:

"Okay, let's go back and take a good rest. Before the insect plague breaks out, I'll give you a few days off."

After saying that, the research team began to pack their bags and left quickly.

At home, there are more important responsibilities waiting for them!

When Professor Liu's motorcade left.

They saw people in the town setting up an altar under the command of the mayor.

In the center of the altar is a wooden statue of Feia, the goddess of the moon.

but……

Some students saw what the hell the statue of the God of Destruction next to the statue of the Moon Goddess Feia was.

Also, is that the resting version of Sun Wukong’s statue on the right?

"By the way, how do these locals understand the Moon Goddess?"

Some students whispered.

The fat man chuckled and said:

"I have contacted the local priests."

"The local sects are also working hard to save themselves."

"They directly regarded Her Highness Feiya, the goddess of the moon, as the underground incarnation of Brahma."

"Um...does the Moon Goddess know about this?"

"You should know, I'm sure there are religious speculators who secretly pray to inform the goddess."

"But for now, the Moon Goddess doesn't care about these people."

…………

The capital of Parthia,

The streets were filled with gray fog.

The mist is a mixture of plant ash from various incense.

Hundreds of thousands of people parade through the streets carrying statues of various gods and even altars.

Pious old men knelt on both sides of the street, kowtow and pray.

The children also rarely fell silent. In this solemn atmosphere, they stared curiously at the figures walking through the mist and the terrifying shadows left by the tall statues.

The chief consul of Anxi also took all the members to the largest prayer house and stood in front of a thirty-meter-high golden goddess statue to pray.

"O great goddess of the moon!"

"Please bless us, we are all your devout believers!"

A former Parthian high priest who had not been certified by the goddess knelt at the front and recited prayers loudly.

After Chief Anxi completed the ceremony, he left silently.

The reason why I came to worship was purely to give face to the Adventist sect.

After all, the centipede insect is dead but not stiff, and the native sect of Anxi has deep roots among the people.

Especially many old people are die-hard followers of their sect.

In fact, what he really placed his trust in was the Saint of the Moon and the priests certified by the goddess.

A few hours later.

In a seemingly simple church-like building.

Chief Anxi smiled politely and saluted the person at the door.

Then, he walked in and saw the blond female priest who was praying with her eyes closed under a statue of the goddess.

Chief Anxi did not disturb the other party and waited for a few minutes.

The female priest stood up slowly and turned to look at the chief.

"Dear Priest Farah."

Chief An Anxi quickly smiled and looked at each other.

And named this priestess who looked holy and beautiful.

This priestess is not the original saint, but she is also extremely extraordinary.

She was originally a poor goddess. After being rescued by the goddess sect, her talent was discovered by the goddess, and she became a priest naturally.

Now he is responsible for all the affairs of the Goddess Sect in the capital of Parthia!

The female priest smiled slightly. She became more and more beautiful after becoming extraordinary, which made Chief Anxi slightly startled and a little lost.

However, he was also known as the Iron-Blooded Chief, so he quickly calmed down and started talking to the beautiful priestess.

"I have submitted my request for rest to the great goddess."

"Whether or not to send a miracle depends entirely on the goddess's decision."

The priestess whispered this.

The chief of Anxi nodded immediately and proposed again that the government should invest in building a magnificent palace complex for the Goddess Sect.

The priestess shook her head.

"No matter how magnificent the land buildings are, they cannot compare to the Goddess's palace in heaven."

"If you are willing, why not invest the funds in people's livelihood?"

"Maybe you can get more recognition from the Goddess."

"Hehe, definitely, definitely."

The chief of Anxi thought of the palace in heaven, and his face became uglier.

Of course, he knew that the ground buildings could not compare to the palace in heaven.

However, he could not find a trick to please the Goddess after thinking about it.

He could not help but miss the days when Chaofan did not appear.

At that time, as long as he fed a few high priests of local sects, he would not have to worry about this.

However, he still hoped that the Goddess could be effective, right?

The locust plague...cannot continue to spread!

The chief of Anxi walked out of the door, looked up at the dark sky, and thought sincerely.

And in the Benri spacecraft.

As the spokesperson of the Goddess, Xiao Yu naturally received the news conveyed by the priests.

He thought about it, and his mind moved.

In the palace, deep in the palace complex.

Several incarnations of the Moon Goddess who stayed there slowly opened their eyes.

Then.

After sending off the chief priestess of the Parthian Empire, he was suddenly shocked and heard the cold voice of the Moon Goddess.

A few seconds later.

The priestess clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and smiled:

"Praise the goddess."

"Rejoice in your kindness."

On the streets of the capital of the Parthian Empire.

In the buildings on both sides, there are many news media and self-media people occupying them for live broadcasting.

There are also many tourists who are not afraid of death. At this time, they still come to the Parthian Empire for tourism and are unwilling to miss this grand sacrifice.

According to the propaganda, this sacrifice is the largest sacrifice activity in the history of the Parthian Empire!

A team of lovers from Europe stood on the street, constantly filming the parade.

Suddenly, a statue of a god released a faint white light in the mist.

It was particularly obvious and attracted the attention of many people.

"Are Matra and the others cheating?"

A team of priests saw this strange phenomenon and was very dissatisfied:

"They actually arranged a self-luminous source in the statue! This is a violation of the rules!"

"Yes, they broke the rules!"

Other priest teams also nodded, and then the team became chaotic, and a group of people surrounded the glowing team.

"Wait a minute, this is not what we did, this is a real miracle!"

The priest of the glowing statue team shouted loudly.

However, the people around this priest were all speculating that their heads had modified the statue without their knowledge.

After all, everyone has cooperated to deceive the Parthians for so many years, who doesn't know who?

It was at this time.

The riot attracted the attention of the Parthian officials.
