Chapter 862 Spread the whole human world

Thousand Lakes Republic, winter plain.

Due to the low latitude and warm climate, this large plain with a total area of ​​more than 100,000 square kilometers has been one of the most famous high-quality winter wheat producing areas in the Huiguang Continent for thousands of years.

In the pre-Qianhu Kingdom era, the land price of the Winter Plain was five times higher than the average land price of the whole kingdom. The nobles who owned fiefs here were all the old farm nobles, and they were the base camps of the conservative forces.

However, since Renault entered the Thousand Lakes Republic, great changes have taken place in the Winter Plains.

A part of the nobles of the farms in the area were deprived of their aristocratic status by the Parliament due to various crimes. The properties under their names were forcibly redeemed by the Parliament at a very low price, and finally fell into the hands of the Muse Chamber of Commerce.

Another part of the farm nobles went bankrupt in the wave of farm bankruptcies caused by cheap beans, rice and rice, and was forced to sell at low prices the farms that had been passed down by the family for hundreds or even thousands of years.

More than 95% of the farms were also acquired by the Muse Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, the speaker of the Muse Chamber of Commerce, and one of the lovers of a certain crown, Miss Bogidas, with the super tiger skin of the Supreme Speaker, with a fierce operation, more than 90% of the land in the Winter Plains was harvested. In the bag.

In the following two years, thanks to high-efficiency mechanized production, advanced planting technology, and large-scale use of bird manure, the planting area of ​​winter wheat has greatly increased, with an annual output of more than 8 million tons.

Compared to 10 years ago, it is almost 15 times higher.

Big Lolita and Scarlett from the Haichaoling Potions Research Institute, looking at the endless wheat field, couldn’t help asking:

“Your Excellency Herseli, is the epidemic of’black inflammation’ really so serious?”

“Yes, Miss Scarlett!”

A middle-aged man in the uniform of a senior researcher, who was called a “Hesaili”, a wood supernatural person, replied worriedly:

“All the staff of the Agricultural Research Institute tried various methods and even tried a variety of potions. The plants suffering from’black inflammation’ showed no signs of improvement, and the height of the plants was at least 40% shorter than normal. .”

“As long as the wheat fields close to the infected area often have the same symptoms within 1 to 2 weeks… Even if physical blocking is used, that is, to eradicate and burn all winter wheat in the infected area, and sprinkle it on the field for disinfection. After a period of time, winter wheat in adjacent areas will still be infected.”

“As of now, more than 60% of the wheat fields have been infected with the **** ‘black inflammation’…”

This huge number made Scarlett’s pretty face look shocked.

Hesseli jumped into the field, bent over to pull out a winter wheat, peeled off its stem, and showed it to Scarlett:

“Miss Scarlett, this winter wheat has been infected by’black inflammation’… You see, there are subtle dark spots on the roots of the stems… Within half a month at most, the whole stem will grow a lot of black. Point, where there are no dark spots, the color will be slightly gray…”

Scarlett took the stem, looked carefully for a moment, and nodded.

“The worst thing is that according to our trial of using the extraordinary power of the wood system to forcibly ripen plants, the yield of diseased plants will be reduced by 80%-90%, and a small number of plants will even have no harvest…”

Herselli gave another even more shocking news:

“If the epidemic is not resolved, I am afraid that the winter wheat production area of ​​the winter plain will drop significantly this year, and it may be less than 1 million tons…”

The face of this extraordinary lord became extremely bitter.

“The most terrifying thing is that the’black inflammation’ disease has not only appeared in the Republic, it has spread to the entire human world, and large-scale epidemics have also occurred in the Bailing Kingdom and the southern Xinghai continent… As far as I know, the Bailing Kingdom has more than 50 % Of the winter wheat production areas, 70% of the winter wheat in Xinghai Continent, and another staple food of black potatoes, more than 90% of the production areas, all have the same situation.”

Scarlett asked again:

“How is the situation in the grain-producing areas of the two great lakes in the south and north of the Republic, namely the soybean, rice and rice planting bases in’Indiana Lake’ and’Jones Lake’? Is there an epidemic of’black inflammation’?”

“Soybean rice and rice are also infected with the’black inflammation disease’, but the strange thing is that the symptoms of soybean rice and rice are much better. According to the experiment of the Agricultural Research Institute, the yield will be reduced by up to 10%, but it may actually be even less…Fortunately, Otherwise, the entire human world will fall into a terrible famine.”

Speaking of this, there was a hint of rejoicing in Herseli’s eyes:

“According to the requirements of the lord, the Republic has built a large number of granaries, and the stored food is enough for all the people to eat for 2 years… In addition, the parliamentary council has issued an order to urgently expand the planting area of ​​soybeans, rice and rice, and strive to achieve an annual output of 3,000 this year. 10,000 tons.”

“Therefore, this time the’black inflammation’ disaster will not have much impact on the Republic… at most it will only cause a small increase in food prices, which in turn will cause other commodities to increase in price…”

He lowered his voice and said:

“With the spread of this epidemic, there may be major disturbances in other places, and it is estimated that many people will starve to death…”

Scarlett was silent for a moment, and suddenly said something irrelevant:

“Your Excellency Herseli, do you think this wheat field feels very depressing?”

“Depressed?”

Herseli looked inexplicable:

“Sorry, Miss Scarlett, I don’t feel the same way…”

However, he did not ignore the other party’s words.

After all, in the circle of transcendents of the Hai Chaoling, everyone knows that this young and beautiful girl was once personally evaluated by the great lord as one of the most promising candidates for the advancement of the upright in the human world.

In the future, if the Upright One is crowned, who will not take it seriously?

Scarlett stared at the wheat field like a prairie, her eyes lost focus, as if she was feeling something.

Herseli was by the side, waiting quietly.

For a long time, the girl whispered:

“I don’t know why, the breath here reminds me of the monsters in the laboratory… Well, Herseli, you know, those **** alienated demons…”

Herseli’s expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he asked in a low voice:

“So, do you think this time the’Black Flame Disease’ was caused by the Void Demon? God, if this is the case, this would be an extraordinary event…”

After hesitating, he couldn’t help adding:

“As a transcendent, I understand that sometimes the sense of spiritual perception, although incredible, but its accuracy is often extremely high… Therefore, Miss Scarlett, I personally agree with your judgment.”

“You really deserve to be a genius and extraordinary person that the Lord Lord is optimistic about… It seems that our director, Mr. Alex, who has cultivated the’bean, rice and rice’, invites you as a consultant to solve the’black inflammation’ epidemic. It is absolutely I got the right person…”

Scarlett shook her head slightly:

“This is just a personal judgment. I don’t have full certainty, and there is no decisive evidence…I still need further research, but I have a hunch that starting from this direction should be a good idea…”

The girl looked at her colleagues in the R&D system and made a request:

“Your Excellency Herseli, I need a helper. In the name of the Agricultural Research Institute, please invite another student of my teacher, Darcy, to come and assist in my research…”

“No problem, I will handle this myself!”

Hessery promised repeatedly:

“The fame of Your Excellency Darcy has been known for a long time… I really look forward to one day when your two geniuses, your two extraordinary sirs, as the Lord Lord said, both will be promoted to the crown and become the leader of the tide and the thousand lakes Important pillar… By the way, and Lord Al…”

Scarlett responded indifferently:

“You are so exaggerated!”

After a pause, the girl’s pretty face passed a faint blush, and a very firm word came out from her red lips:

“I’m just a subordinate of Lord Lord. As long as Lord Lord has any needs, I will definitely go all out!”
