Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Although this place in East Africa is theoretically within the radiation range of Rome, and there are even two vassal states hanging around, the locals did not realize how big the matter was when they discovered locusts. After all, there were desert locusts in this place. It is very famous, but most of the time it does not cause disasters. In addition, the locals mainly focus on how to deal with the African beast tide, so that the first people to discover the locust plague were actually the local Han family. .

"Is this the so-called local locust?" Wang Lang looked at the locusts caught by his men and asked strangely, "Africa is a weird place. The locusts are twice as big. Isn't that a little too outrageous?"

Nonsense, how can locusts that are not big enough fly from Africa to the Persian Gulf, then wreak havoc in Central Asia, rush to South Asia and wreak havoc again, and even some with extraordinary talents can directly rush to Xinjiang, Yunnan and other places in China. , you must know that it is a normal world without alienation of heaven and earth essence.

"Are all the local locusts this big?" Yuan Xin, who had also just crawled back from the world, looked at the African locusts and felt that it was very outrageous. How should I put it, the number of tauren in the world was extremely large, and the tauren that rushed up and shook the mountains were not suitable for them. Yuan Xin's impact was not as big as these locusts.

"No, there are local locusts that are bigger than this. What you see are just small locusts." Yang Chen said with a sneer, then he handed a cage to Yuan Xin, which shocked Yuan Xin for a thousand years. Damn it. , locusts can grow to the size of a palm, what have they eaten?

"Is this a locust plague going to happen?" Wang Lang asked relatively sensitively.

Because we are in Africa, we don’t know much about the climate and environment here. Locusts are really ordinary insects and can be seen everywhere. It’s just that there are relatively many this time, but they have not reached the level of a locust plague. In addition, when we were in the Central Plains, before the locust plague happened, there were families who were dedicated to this thing, shouting and notifying them. Even the Ganshi family would notify them in advance when a warm winter and warm spring rains occurred. Preventive notifications will be made for most of the year.

However, in Africa, there is no such notice at all. Wang Lang and others have not thought about the locust plague, because there have been signs of locust plague in the Central Plains for hundreds and thousands of years. Their families should have received the news long ago. , it’s time to stock up on food and stock up on guns.

Therefore, when the migratory locusts were already flying around in Africa, this group of local aristocratic families still did not realize that the first wave of locust plague had actually taken shape in East Africa, and the locusts on their side were also affected by pheromones. Crazy growth, I just feel that there are really a lot of locusts in Africa this year, and they are so big, they are delicious when fried.

Chen Zhe, the researcher of the Chen family in Africa, is happily harvesting locusts. The local locusts grow really well. It is really a pleasure to use them to raise geese locally. It is a business without capital, but it is really fun. By the way Fried locusts are really delicious.

The Wu family was confused about the number of migratory locusts, but they did not realize that the locust plague was imminent.

Zhang family, Cui family, Xie family, Xiao family, Han Baishen, etc., there are many Han aristocratic families hanging out in Africa. For these aristocratic families, even if they do not covet the territory of Africa, they just want to take root in Central Asia, but they see other If the family goes to Africa to cause trouble, they will follow suit.

There is no other meaning. For these families, it doesn’t matter what other families do. Anyway, we will do whatever you do. Even if our family’s research ability is zero, we can follow up and copy this family and that family. , and finally synthesized one of my own.

No matter what the technology is, we will follow you anyway. It doesn’t matter whether you are technical or not. The important thing is to follow you. It doesn’t cost much anyway. As long as you can follow you, even if you can’t get into the forefront, at least you won’t. Be eliminated.

Even families such as the Guo family, the Yin family, and the Liu family were about to be wiped out. The families that finally recovered after a while, sent people to follow them. Anyway, with the input of a few people, they could still squeeze out the following. Just do it, as long as you don't get left behind, you can say anything.

However, among so many families, many of them are close to East Africa, none of them realized that the locust plague was coming. They all just thought that the locusts this year were so big and plentiful.

"Is there going to be a locust plague?" Raklilek, the commander of the Thirty Eagle Banner Corps, looked at the researchers sent by the Senate and the report written on the straw paper, his brows furrowed.

"There should be a locust plague, but the problem is not big. It is south of the Kingdom of Kush. It has little to do with us. It will be affected at most." said the climate research specialist dispatched by the Senate.

"That's it. I'll send a notice to the Kingdom of Kush and ask them to take precautions. You also send a notice to the Senate and ask them to make a plan." Raklilek said almost without thinking. This in itself is His duty was that although the locust plague may have formed south of the Kingdom of Kush and had little impact on Rome, the warning still had to be given.

The research specialist was silent for a while, and finally did not speak. He actually wanted to advise Laklilek to ignore this matter and let the locust plague hit the Kingdom of Kush, directly destroying the Kingdom of Kush, and then the Roman divine soldiers descended from the sky without any waves. Wu Lan was able to absorb the Kingdom of Kush, so that the Red Sea ports were completely brought under the management of Rome, which was completely different from the previous situation where they were separated by one layer.

However, since Raklilek had already spoken, the researcher could not directly deny the Eagle Emblem Commander's proposal, so he could only let Raklilek implement it.

Little did he know that this operation not only saved his dog's life, but also saved the lives of countless people.

In April of the 10th year of Yuanfeng, the Han Dynasty sent an internal gas detachment directly to the Roman Senate, carrying detailed research data and an estimate of the size of the locust plague.

At the same time, the Gan family and the Shi family directly sent officials to inform the major families in Central Asia, Cao Cao in Kandahar, and the major families in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges to prepare for possible locust plagues. Although Chen Xi thought about notifying them at this time, It's already too late, but we still have to do our best.

In addition, Gan Bao and Shi Tao finally got data on the possible scale of the East African locust plague from Chen Xi - the scale of the last wave of collective movements may be greater than 200 billion locusts.

This data is Chen Xi's inferred data, but the Gan family and the Shi family have an estimate of the current number of locusts in eastern Africa. The problem is that this estimate is already close to the tens of millions of locust outbreaks.

As the data before the outbreak, the first round of the outbreak is almost directly multiplied by 40 times, which means that there must be at least a billion in the first round. In the second round, due to food problems, the survival of the fittest will lead to the surviving locusts having stronger combat power and larger body size. It is larger and has more abnormal flying capabilities, but its explosive data may only be twenty times that of the first round, which is upwards of 20 billion.

As for the third round, which is the last round of summer, due to food issues, survival of the fittest, the surviving locusts are all fighters among locusts. Their average size and quality will basically be the largest in the same year, and they are also the most toxic. , but the multiple will be reduced again, and it is estimated to be only 200 billion. Of course, this is actually a conservative estimate.

Because of the locust plague, if you are unlucky and there is a large-scale rainfall between the first and second rounds, or between the second and third rounds, causing another wave of plant development, then the locusts in the larval stage will have Sufficient food reduces the cruelty of survival of the fittest. In the end, the size and combat effectiveness of the developed locusts will decrease, but the scale...

Locust plagues on a scale of trillions have never happened before in human history!

To be honest, after the scale reaches one trillion, the combat effectiveness of a single locust is basically meaningless. It can even chew wood.

According to Chen Xi's estimate, if there are 200 billion locusts, the Han Dynasty will be wiped out in Central Asia and Congling at most, and the Ganges and Xinzhou regions will be slightly affected. If the scale of this last wave reaches one trillion, then Just wait for Guanlong and Sichuan to suffer disasters as well.

But if it really goes up to one trillion, Rome will be the first to be destroyed. There will probably be no grass in the grain-producing areas of Upper Egypt. It will only be more terrifying than the locust plague described in the original book of the Ten Plagues. The eastern provinces and the grain-producing areas of the Mesopotamia cannot be dealt with. The good thing is that there is no grass growing on it. If a Central Asian family wants to find some grass to eat, they will probably have to walk several miles.

Afterwards, the Indus-Ganges essence area, an important grain-producing area in Kushan, had to reduce production by at least half.

To be honest, after analyzing the situation, Chen Xi has already recognized the reality. The locust plague will definitely be unbearable. The three major empires will definitely be hammered by the locust plague, but with the Himalayas blocking their homeland, they will definitely be able to resist even if they are hit by a disaster. Let's see who dies worse, Rome or Kushan.

Of course, according to estimates, it should be Rome. The climate of Kushan is perfect there. There are three crops a year. No matter how outrageous the locust plague is, it can only eat up Kushan for one and a half seasons. It is better than the miserable situation in Rome.

"What!" Yang Zhong grabbed Shi Min's collar and lifted Shi Min up. Although he looked like a gentle old man normally, at this moment Yang Zhong was really angry and exploded.

Shi Min was pulled up by Yang Zhong's collar, but there was no anger at all on his face, and there was even a little sadness on his face. He had no choice but to do it, and he didn't want to if he could, but the news was basically confirmed. The head of the family, Shi Tao, informed him When this younger brother was asked to inform the Central Asia family, Shi Min knew that he would definitely get hammered.

Maybe not coming? No, this is not only a task given by the head of the family, but also the responsibility of the Gan and Shi families for thousands of years - to work on calendar astrology and prevent disasters and weather conditions.

"It's over." Yang Zhong was only furious for a few seconds, and then his whole body softened and sat on the ground. His eyes were dark. The old Yang family finally built up the fiefdom and beat away the thieves around them. , it can be regarded as entering a positive cycle, but you told me that the locust plague is coming.

"Fifty billion locusts? Fifty billion locusts!" Yang Zhong was in tears. The families who had experienced the Ling Emperor Dynasty had at least seen locust plagues. Although they had never seen 50 billion locusts dispatched en masse, But we have seen 500 million animals dispatched en masse.

In one county, 500 million locusts were dispatched en masse, and it wouldn't take long for him to eat them up. Fifty billion locusts was nothing. It meant that a small team of one percent size was enough to destroy the Yang family. The fiefdom that was finally built was reduced to nothing.

"It's all over!" Yang Zhong burst into tears. After eating grass for so many years and spending so much energy, he was about to succeed. However, there was a locust plague. The old Yang family survived the most difficult period. At this time, we are about to reap the harvest and run out of food.

Does the old Yang family dare to cut off the food rations of the people under their rule and only provide food to the people of the Han Dynasty? After cutting off the food supply of the hundreds of thousands of people who have finally collected it over the past few years, successfully naturalized, and voluntarily supported the local people close to the Yang family, and only provided food to the people who followed from the country, they may be able to survive this year, but then, before All the efforts are in vain!

What is cut off is not the food supply, but the foundation of their Yang family!

Yang Zhong figured everything out almost instantly. Their food and grass were not enough anyway. If it was provided to everyone, everyone would not be able to eat enough. Even if the Yang family had the ability to implement the rationing system, they would not be able to satisfy everyone. People are starving to survive this year. They could eat grass to survive before, but now there is no grass. The fiefdom that has worked hard for so many years has failed!

"Sorry, I got excited." After the black vision in front of Yang Zhong ended, he tried his best to calm down. For an old man, this kind of shock was enough to kill him, but after calming down, Yang Zhong still Adjust your mentality as much as possible, let go of Shi Min and said.

Catching Shi Min can't change anything. The other party came to inform them. After all, the locust plague came from Africa. It was already very powerful for the Gan family and the Shi family to pay attention to it. But the sadness in their hearts really couldn't be eliminated. Yang Zhong could understand Gan. The efforts of the family and the Shi family could not overcome this hurdle in their hearts.

"The head of the family has persuaded Chen Hou to transport grain to Xinzhou, but we are not sure how much can be transported." Shi Min lowered his head and said, he was also very disappointed. Their family really tried their best, but there are some things that cannot be done even if they try their best. It can't solve the problem.

"Thank you." Yang Zhong bowed his hands and Shi Min quickly returned the gift.

After that, Shi Min didn't stay at the Yang family for long. After drinking a cup of tea, he rushed to the Cui family with his internal energy. There was no way. This matter was too big. Without the endorsement of the Gan family and the Shi family, it was inevitable that there would be family members. In desperation, we have the last chance, such as maybe I am lucky and the locust plague will not pass by our house. Instead of having such an idea, it is better to kill this idea directly and let them make final preparations early. .

After Shi Min left, a heated discussion broke out within the Yang family. There was no other way. Just thinking about how lucky it would be for hundreds of millions of locusts to rush over and fight against their family. Everyone in the Yang family was numb. When they thought about what would happen if If you are not lucky, there may be billions or tens of billions of locusts passing through their Yang family. As for why not all tens of billions of locusts are passing through their Yang family. I'm sorry, the Yang family is too small. The area covered by the tens of billions of locusts army A few hundred thousand square kilometers.

"Send a letter to Huangfusong and repay all the favors he owes our old Yang family! Fuck Odin, stop it, let him customize a kind of attack with a wide range, the power does not need to be too powerful, it can kill Killing locusts is enough, and you need talents that can be used for a long time." Yang Zhong said, already a little crazy.

"Too many." Yang Sun sighed and said, "Think of other ways. The talent of legionization can only deal with millions or tens of millions of locusts that can fly. It will reach its limit. Tens of billions..."

A real locust plague covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers. When locusts fly directly over hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, individual power is not enough to stop them. The three empires can only use strategic strikes to affect hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. The weapons are ready, but the question is who dares to use them now?

This is why even in the industrial age, when locusts really become a disaster, it is difficult to truly curb the emergence of locusts by various means.

What kind of aircraft group sprays pesticides, what kind of pheromones induce locusts, it's all funny to a group of locusts that fly together and cover an area of ​​10,000 square kilometers.

"Everything on the ground will be eaten up. Let's plant a short-term cabbage instead. At least we can get some food." Yang Yi rubbed his face and said with a bit of despair, "There are no other ways. We have hope, just lie down and let the locusts hammer you."

It's okay to have a smaller quantity. With such a large quantity, it can't be solved anyway. It's better to be realistic and seize everything that can be harvested within the fiefdom. The rest will be treated as filial piety to Uncle Locust. It can't be defeated anyway, so it's better to be realistic. It's better to save some energy and lie down.

A group of people from the Yang family started a heated discussion on this issue. In the end, Yang Yi's plan gained the absolute upper hand. There was no other way. I had never heard of a locust plague of this scale. The struggle seemed to have no meaning other than a waste of energy. Lying flat can also reduce some energy consumption.

"Before the locust plague comes, let's find a way to transport food. Transport as much as we can, and then issue disaster prevention orders to the people under our control, and let all the people start to do everything possible to hoard food and grass. The pastures under our control, except The chickens, ducks, geese, and the few livestock that were kept for breeding were all killed and made into bacon." Yang Zhong said with a bit of despair.

Finally, everything in the fiefdom was on track, but a wave of locust plague came, and I went straight back to the time I came here.

"Then during the locust plague, all the researchers in the Yang family stopped all their work and worked on how to kill the locusts. We can't solve this wave of locust plague, but we can destroy this species!" Yang Zhong roared with great anger. road.

All the aristocratic families in Central Asia received news of the locust plague in just two days, and soon after, veterans like Bi Laoliu who had fiefdoms in Central Asia also received the above notification.

However, compared to other major aristocratic families, the first thing that veterans like Bi Laoliu thought of after receiving the news was not how to farm and store food to prevent the locust plague, but to run away more simply and crudely.

Take the core one or two thousand people who are willing to follow and run away directly. The others will disband on the spot and come back after surviving the locust plague. Anyway, Lao Liu has no ideological burden and can afford the loss.
