Chapter 892 Eat?

The locusts in Africa are huge, with a body length of seven or eight centimeters, more than half the length of a palm.

They fell like raindrops on the thick animal skin, and even made a slightly dull sound.

Just listening to the continuous voice made the audience in front of the screen feel a little depressed.

It's hard to imagine what kind of terrible scene Bi Fang said, the serious locust plague that was really like a black cloud.

Bi Fang gently lifted a corner of the fur.

Between the gap between the animal skin and the ground, morning light seeps in, interlacing light and dark, truly revealing the cruel corner of the outside world.

At this time, the audience realized that it turned out to be just one or two locusts, which had already become a piece.

The circle around the animal skin was densely packed with palm-sized brown locusts, and a few of them tried to get into the gap, but were knocked away by Bi Fang's flick of a finger.

Just seeing it for the first time can give you goosebumps.

If it was said that he still felt a little depressed just now, he is completely breathless now.

Too dense, too big, too numb.

The terrible thing about the locust plague is that it covers the sky and the earth.

The visual impact is comparable to a doomsday blockbuster.

And wherever it goes, there really isn't a blade of grass growing.

[I can't do it, I can't do it, I've committed a crime]

【For a pair of clean eyes】

【Disgusting】

【This f*cking figure is too big】

【Do you really know how to eat people】

Harley's body curled up completely. Every time a locust landed on the skin and caused a slight tremor, it would shake up and lean against Bi Fang beside him, making the space under the skin even more crowded.

As a cheetah, it was the first time in its life that it saw such a terrifying scene, its eyes were rounded and gleamed with a layer of black light.

Bi Fang grabbed the cheetah's head with his big hands, pushed it down to the ground, and then couldn't help sneezing.

This guy kept leaning here, and the long hairs on his ears poked his nostrils, and it was really itchy.

"After the locusts become a plague, they need to be treated. In the past, people's methods of controlling locust plagues were relatively stupid. The locusts laid their eggs in the soil, so they plowed the land, and the flightless nymphs gathered on the ground, so they set fire to it. Later, chemical pesticides were introduced. , and there are airplanes, let’s use airplanes to sprinkle pesticides in the sky.”

"This method is still commonly used, but the cost is very high. The locust plague has been severe in recent years, and it may have something to do with the lack of planes in Kenya."

"In addition to the fact that the global climate has been getting warmer in the past two years, and there was an El Niño event last year, the number of locusts here has skyrocketed."

Bi Fang sorted out some weather phenomena in the past two years.

El Niño is the Spanish word for El Niño, and it refers to the phenomenon that occurs in the eastern part of the equatorial Pacific Ocean, and the seawater in the central part continues to be abnormally warm on a large scale.

Last year's El Niño event lasted until the end of the year.

Africa is originally arid, and locusts lay a huge amount of eggs. Under the conditions of warming and heavy rainfall, the vegetation grows wildly, providing perfect conditions for the growth of nymphs.

Locusts need a dry environment to lay eggs, but after laying eggs, they will secrete a special jelly, which makes the eggs extremely waterproof, and the hatching rate will not be reduced even after the rainy season.

Because of this, under normal circumstances, when there is heavy rainfall before the locusts hatch after a severe drought, there is a high probability that locust plagues will occur.

There are not enough treatment methods, and the more locusts, the more eggs, the more eggs, the more locusts, like a snowball, it has completely become a chronic disease.

The only thing that can limit them is probably the large-scale reduction of vegetation, and the lack of food causes the locusts to starve to death.

"As I said before, the desert locusts will spread, and their footprints will cover more than half of the earth."

"In fact, if we didn't have the Himalayas, which blocked most of the eastward locust swarms, and the northeasterly wind prevails in Southeast Asia in winter, and the flow of desert locusts mainly depends on the Indian Ocean monsoon, we would also be threatened by them."

In winter, the monsoon will come north from the east coast of India, but then it will turn around and blow back, and the locusts will be carried back.

In summer, when the wind stops turning and blows directly downward, the locusts are even more difficult to get through.

"African locusts wanted to come to our country. It was the double obstruction of the headwind and the mountains, so they survived."

There was a rare trace of joy in Bi Fang's tone.

【terrible】

[really blessed]

【It's amazing】

[Speaking of which, can locusts be eaten? With so many, you don’t have to worry about food, right? 】

【Let you know what a real foodie is】

[Indeed, raising more chickens and ducks should also have a certain effect]

[Silly hat, locusts are poisonous after swarming, don't you know that? 】

【Who said you can't eat it if it's poisonous? Do you understand or not? 】

[? ? ? 】

"Ahem, everyone, don't be so aggressive."

Netizens can really quarrel at any time. Bi Fang slandered inwardly, and explained calmly: "In fact, both sides are right. The locusts in the locust plague can be eaten or not."

"What I just said about chickens and ducks is indeed useful to some extent, but most of the locusts eaten by chickens and ducks are in the nymph stage, and they prefer to eat scattered locusts. If it is a good method before the disaster, it will not work after the disaster. .”

"This involves a self-protection mechanism of locusts. Locusts themselves know that after becoming gregarious, it will be convenient for natural enemies to prey on them, so they will release an odor signal benzyl nitrile, and natural enemies will not want to eat them when they smell it."

"Under the protection of benzyl nitrile, if natural enemies still attack the locusts, benzyl nitrile will be converted into hydrogen cyanide."

"Hydrogen cyanide, everyone should know that it has cyanide in its name. This thing is poisonous, and the toxicity is not small."

[So people like this can't eat it? 】

"Don't worry, everyone. Let me state the conclusion first. It is true that chickens and ducks cannot be eaten, but humans can eat them. This is based on facts."

"When Jiserai was plagued by locusts, the local residents were very happy to eat locusts. With a gauze net, they could catch a lot of them and fry them in an oil pan until they were golden. The children next door...cough cough, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is like this."

"It's not because we are immune to cyanide, nor is it a matter of toxicity and dosage. One locust in a high-accumulation area may cause mild symptoms of poisoning."

"The fundamental reason is that hydrocyanic acid will volatilize and burn at high temperature, and the speed is very fast. Animals will not eat cooked food, but humans will, and the toxicity can be removed through cooking techniques. It is not completely inedible, but very It’s just an adventure, and it’s hard to keep it.”

"So even if you want to eat locusts, it's best to catch locusts that haven't changed color. After all, the color characteristics are still easy to distinguish, and they must be fried and roasted thoroughly to minimize the content of hydrocyanic acid."

"Besides, you can't finish eating. Relying on food is completely a drop in the bucket."

"Before I talked about the density of locusts. After the disaster, the locust swarm can have 3 million locusts per mu of land, with a total weight of six tons. This is a yield of 12,000 catties per mu. Rice does not have a yield of 1,000 catties per mu now. What! There is a gap of more than ten times, how can people eat it all?"

Most human beings live in fixed places, while locusts have completely free space for activities.

After catching locusts for a few days, all the crops disappeared, and the locusts flew away quickly.

This is the end result.

Eating locusts can only solve the short-term food crisis.

The audience all heaved a long sigh when they heard this.

I didn't expect that human beings have developed to the current level, but they still can't help this mere locust.

Just like that, Bi Fang and Halley lay on the ground, quietly waiting for the locusts to pass by.

It wasn't until the sun hung high that the humming in the sky completely dissipated and became clear.

It seemed that the dark clouds that were pressing on the top of the head dissipated all of a sudden. Previous Chapter Contents Bookmarks Next Chapter
