The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 243 God is making things difficult for her (Part [-])

Coupled with the lantern lighting in Yingyue's hand, Su Tang finally had a clear view of the situation outside the glass window.

Where is the sound of raindrops hitting the window, I saw dense swarms of locusts flying by, hitting the glass continuously and falling again, and hitting new ones, blocking the sky and sun, completely blocking the light outside.

It's Su Tang's good temper that makes her want to scold people now, why all the major disasters and minor disasters are coming to her. I thought it was a lucky thing that the drought didn't spread to this place, but all the sequelae caused by the drought came to my door.

The plague has just been cured, and now there is another plague of locusts. It is her Yanyang County that is developing so well, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. God can't bear to see her deliberately embarrassing her.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Yingyue also had a sad expression on her face, saying that after the locust plague, there would be no grass left, and it was almost time for the autumn harvest, and the locust plague at this time was enough to worry people.

"Go and close all the doors and windows tightly, so as not to let Jingtuan go out." Su Tang said.

After Yingyue left, Su Tang wanted to turn on the surveillance camera to check the situation in Yanyang County, but it was still midnight, and with the locusts flying rampantly, he couldn't see anything clearly.

"System, I suspect that you are a crow's mouth. You just said before that maybe when something happens again, these victims will starve to death, and then the plague of locusts will come." Su Tang felt dizzy for a while.

Except for Yanyang County and the nearby cities, winter wheat is mainly planted here. After being gnawed by locusts, there will be no harvest in the coming year.

After Leng Anguo went through a series of disaster relief, the domestic food shortage was already in short supply, and now it is even worse. I hope that the scale of the locust disaster will not be too large.

"How can you say that I have a crow's mouth? I have warned you a long time ago that disasters in ancient times are always one after another. You are too busy thinking about other things to pay attention to it. How can you blame me for that?" the system retorted.

Drought causes too many deaths of animals and people, which is easy to cause epidemic diseases. At the same time, because of the drought, the water in rivers and lakes shrinks, and the low-lying areas are exposed, which is the most suitable for locusts to reproduce in large numbers.

The number of eggs laid by locusts will increase greatly. When there are many, there can be 20 to 40 eggs per square meter. With such an amount of eggs laid, can there be no locust plagues?
Locust plagues and droughts often accompany each other, and even in ancient times, there has been a saying that "there will be locusts when there is extreme drought" and "there will be locusts when there is a long drought".

It's not that Su Tang didn't think of this. She felt that the drought in the south was far away from here, and it wouldn't affect Yanyang County anyway. But who would have thought that with so many directions, locusts couldn't run in any direction, but they just aimed at Here she is.

"Don't say it's useless, what should we do now? The technology in your era was so advanced, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a locust, right?" Su Tang thought that the system has all kinds of weird things, so it shouldn't be difficult to kill a locust.

It's a pity that she was disappointed this time, and the system said helplessly, "I really don't have this."

".You go to the sky and travel through time and space, so there is no way to control the locusts?" Su Tang couldn't understand this.

"By our time, the locusts were all extinct. Without locusts, who would be free to research ways to prevent and control locust plagues?"

Su Tang looked at the black locusts outside the window and wanted to ask, "What will the future humans experience? Even locusts with such tenacious vitality can't survive."

"During the period when various natural disasters set off on the earth, the whole world fell into an era of famine. Many animals, plants, and insects became extinct, partly because of natural disasters, and partly because they were eaten and extinct by humans. Silkworms survived. Human beings think it can spin silk and have great value, so they are preserved in the protective cabin. At that time, human beings were almost extinct. The world's tens of billions of people survived less than one billion in the end. It is simply unbearable to look back. .”

After being told by the system, Su Tang suddenly felt that the locusts outside were nothing to worry about, wouldn't there still be locusts to eat?Although locusts are poisonous when gathered in a certain number, it is better than nothing to eat.

"By your time, how many human beings will there be?" The story told by the system was so attractive that Su Tang was led astray.

"According to the reproduction speed of human beings, after the natural disaster subsided, they began to recuperate. In my era, the population has recovered to several tens of billions. The earth can't live in it, and some nobles began to move to other planets."

According to the situation where the system treats Su Tang as an ancient person, the system is also from thousands of years later. Human beings have a history of only 21 years from wearing animal skins to the 2000st century. How high will humans develop in a few thousand years? It's really hard to say.

Having said so much, the system is hopeless. If you buy pesticides to kill locusts, according to the current population of Yanyang County, poisoning locusts will also kill people.

Now we can only wait for dawn to see the specific situation and how large-scale the locust plague is.

In the second half of the night, she couldn't sleep until the faint skylight leaked outside. Su Tang turned on the monitoring screen again, and what caught her eyes was the gray locusts covering the entire Yanyang County, and the picture outside the boundaries of Yanyang County. I can't see it, and I don't know how far the locust plague has spread.

Fortunately, the Luogan Village in the deep mountains was not infested by locusts. These locusts should have come all the way along the edge of the Lingyun Mountains. From the south to here, I think they have already harmed many cities along the way. Enough to give the emperor a headache for a while.

These locusts gnawed the crops and grass on the ground in just half a night. Some people who reacted tightly wrapped themselves up and wanted to go to the field to grab the harvest, but the sweet potatoes that had just been dug out did not wait for them to put them in. The bag was coaxed up by the locusts and gnawed clean.

Seeing that the autumn harvest was approaching, the common people were so angry that they were lying on the ground and weeping. They felt sorry for the food, and a large piece of food was gone.

Even the soy sauce and vinegar that were exposed to the sun in the seasoning workshop were not spared. Big holes were gnawed out of the grass cover on the top, and all the things inside could not be bought.

The materials placed outside by the dairy and sugar factories, and the houses that had not closed the doors and windows were all ruined by the locusts swarming up.

The only good thing is that the warehouse was not harmed. Some clever people heard the sound in the middle of the night and rushed to the warehouse immediately after discovering that it was locusts, closing the doors and windows tightly.

The finished products made in the production workshop usually like to be transported to the warehouse for storage, such as cheese butter, white sugar, red wine, canned jam, and various seasonings, including some grains in the village, so important materials No losses were incurred.
