Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

If the three families in the Persian Gulf received news of the locust plague and beat Shi Min a few times, they were really sure that tens of billions of locusts were going to cross the border from their own side, and they were sure that no matter how hard they struggled, they would not be able to resist it, and they would be black from Kushan. Thirty ships of refined grain were harvested in advance, including rice on the family farm, immature sugar cane in the plantation, and wild vegetables and weeds within a radius of dozens of miles. Then all the people were gathered to lie down in the Uburg and bunkers in a low-consumption state. Flat representative. ??? ????н???.￠???? ????

Well, most of the aristocratic families living in Central Asia are still struggling to some extent. After all, they all lived in the Central Plains. It's not like they haven't seen locust plagues before, or the number is slightly too large. How can they just lie down?

Of course, the most important point here is that the loss of lying down is too great. At this time, there is not enough food in each house. If you lie down directly, people will definitely die, and there are still many people. In this case, it is better to struggle and see the effect. At the very least, it is better to die in resistance than to die of hunger.

At least the former is conducive to social stability, while the latter will really lead to riots.

Besides, the locust plague is just a plague of locusts, not the God of Locusts, let alone the Sky of Locusts, not to mention the serious Huang Tian and the others have killed him, and the Locust Sky in the wild, I don’t know who the God of Mao is, just do it, it’s basically There's nothing to be afraid of, just do it first and then talk.

Guo Zhao's behavior was actually based on this idea. After all, after the three Guo and Liuyin families were reorganized by Guo Zhao, they were located diagonally above the Zhang family in Hanoi. After the Zhang family in Hanoi lay down, not to mention the locusts that passed by and were the first to attack Guo. The three Liu Yin families at least separated a small detachment and flew towards the northeast.

As for prevention, the three Guo and Liuyin families have actually done it. Even because the Han Dynasty has professional locust prevention tutorials, the three families will specially clean locust eggs every winter to ensure that there will be no locust plague in the local area.

After all, after the locust plague breaks out, future generations will not be able to solve it. Almost the mainstream solutions to eliminate the locust plague rely on prevention before the locust plague. For example, plowing the ground in winter and freezing locust eggs to death, and biological control in spring to kill the locusts. Basically, when a locust plague breaks out, airplanes spraying pesticides will be useless. If there is a super locust plague, we can only wait for the locusts to end their lifespan, otherwise it will be completely useless.

Therefore, logically speaking, the prevention methods of the three Guo and Liuyin families are correct, but it cannot be tolerated that these locusts flew from Africa, let alone the three families. Except for the Kushan Empire and the Parthian Empire that has been on the street, there is no one left in the world Others have never considered this outrageous possibility.

As for special granaries and special shelters to deal with the locust plague, what should I say? Forts, bastions, and bunkers are not so easy to repair. Not all families are like the Yong family, heading straight for the end. If you leave the fortress, you just need to build an underground palace directly.

The semi-sealed earth-and-stone structure of Wu Fort, the semi-submerged closed bunker, the war stronghold bastion that can be almost completely closed, etc., but the cost of building any fortress-style building is very high, and the technology required is also very high. Not low. The only relatively low part is actually the cellar, but cellars for storing food also require professionals to build.

Of course, it’s not like a big business like Guo Liuyin can’t afford professionals who can build bunkers and forts. The problem is that a few years ago, the backbone of the three families were invaded and massacred by Anxi thieves. The rest were women and children. Old and weak, otherwise Guo Zhao would not be in power.

Major aristocratic families would not allow a woman to inherit the position of head of the family unless they had no direct descendants. At that time, all the adult males of these three families died in the battle, and Guo Zhao was almost given the order in danger.

Now the question arises. In addition to inheriting the lintel, Guo Zhao, who was appointed at the critical moment, also inherited what else. How many resources can the family provide?

If nothing else, let’s just talk about how many managers and technicians are needed to maintain a family and establish a feudal state.

There isn't much left, even the three Guo and Liuyin families together don't have much left. After all, during the first wave of the founding of the country, all the major families spent their money, and it was impossible to leave too many manpower for their hometown.

These technicians were killed in a wave, and the progress was one step behind. By the time Guo Zhao stabilized the situation, it had already been two years ago. At this time, repairs began, and war fortresses such as Wu Bao were repaired first.

Although they also considered building cellars for storage, the human resources of these three companies have always been limited, and most of them used local Parthian people. Therefore, after considering the reality, they first built thatched houses and wooden warehouses using local materials.

After all, the quality of the Anxi people, unless they were under the rule of the seven nobles and had professional technicians, would not be as good as those professionals that the Guo Liuyin family had previously reserved.

It's a pity that most of these professionals were used up when thieves broke into three families. Even if they are still alive, they have long been absorbed by other families.

Even if the descendants of the three Guo Liuyin families could find these professional and technical personnel carefully cultivated by the family in other families, they would not be able to go back. After all, everything must be done logically.

Therefore, after Guo Zhao calmed down the turmoil, he actively showed force and made do with other aspects. Then he crossed the river with the Zhang family in Hanoi in the south, the Wang family in the northeast, and the Cui family in the north.

This idea is not wrong, but it also has some unpredictable shortcomings. After all, manpower and material resources are limited, so we can only advance selectively.

For example, as long as there is no fire in the granary on the ground, there is generally no problem. The three Guo and Liuyin families have strengthened fire prevention over the years. As for seeing other people building bunkers and cellars, Guo Zhao followed suit and imitated them, but there was no Too deep a knowledge.

Besides, the manpower and technology required to build a bunker are much higher than building a grain depot on the ground. Guo Zhao is not willing to invest too many human resources and technical personnel here unless something goes wrong.

Who makes the three families of Guo Liuyin have the smallest number of people? After all, there are so many families in Central Asia. From the perspective of the territory of the feudal kingdom, it can be regarded as a medium and large feudal kingdom, but the population size is not as large as that of the semi-dependent small forces. These three families are the only ones.

To be honest, the population of these three families is not even as large as that of the Anding Hu family, which is dependent on the three kings. If we only discuss the population of the core Han Dynasty, the three families combined cannot compare to a small family.

In this case, of course, you can mix as much as you can. The three kings next door are building a bastion. I heard that the bastion is a war fortress and is very meaningful for fighting against the enemy, so they follow the construction. In the north, the Cui family is building a bunker to store food. The above-ground grain depot can also be used to store grain, so forget it and put it aside for now. Replacing the wooden houses with brick houses requires professional kiln-burning personnel. If there are none, forget it, the wooden houses are not uninhabitable, so let’s put it aside for now.

In this situation, the Guo Liuyin family can only choose to save what they can. It is not a big deal anyway. As long as fire prevention and safety and defense are done well, it is not a problem. After all, the wooden house is quite good to live in.

After so many years of hanging around, the Guo Liuyin family relied on Guo Zhao's hand-rolled high-density energy crystals, an empire-level rare resource, to exchange various necessary supplies with others, as well as Haftan's military power to deter them, and they were able to secure their feudal status. Nothing really happened.

However, when the locust plague broke out in East Africa, the three fiefdoms suffered a fatal blow.

The difference between a wooden house and a small masonry building was completely revealed at this moment. The locusts with demon crystals gnawed through the wooden hut. The wooden granary was not a problem at all, but they wanted to gnaw through the waterproof seal of the cellar. A small building with a single floor and masonry structure is nonsense. Only locusts who have practiced their Qi into a gang and whose inner Qi has separated from the body can do it collectively.

Among the tens of billions of locusts, there are only a few million such super locusts. However, distributed among such locust plagues, they are not super locusts that attack collectively and have basically no impact.

Therefore, three homes in the Persian Gulf were attacked by tens of billions of locusts. At most, all the green on the ground was wiped out, the soil layer on the ground was thinned, and the wooden doors of the residence were eaten away. There was no such cruel situation as leaving only a gray area.

The three wooden buildings of Guo Liuyin's family were eaten by these super demon crystal locusts. Almost only a few Uburgs in the central area were left in the entire feudal kingdom, and the rest were completely destroyed.

In fact, this is the reason why Guo Zhao was so stubborn that he almost blew himself up, because the super locust plague in East Africa and the locust plague that Guo Zhao thought were completely different things. Guo Zhao originally thought that locusts would eat up thatched houses, but in the end they even ate wooden buildings. .

If the wooden building can be eaten, it means that the granary will definitely not be able to withstand it. Considering the food stored in his own Wubao, Guo Zhao really can only rely on burning, etching, military formations and locust plagues to survive.

After holding on for three days, barely transporting the salvageable grain and grass to their own Wubao, and moving the core population to several Wubao in the central district, there was nothing left in the entire Guoliuyin feudal state.

This terrifying situation stunned the three kings who had been observing the sealing of the three Guo and Liuyin families. Guo Zhao took out a large weapon and bombed wildly. The fiery red flame illuminated the southwest sky, successfully blocking the movement of the locust army. , while delaying a lot of time for other families in the rear, Wang Ling, the head of the Three Kings, was ready to take out his own killing weapon and fight against the locust plague to force the locusts back.

As a result, in just three days, the fiefdoms of the three Guo and Liuyin families were reduced to nothing. Less than one-tenth of Guo Zhao's strategic reserves were left. Many nodes of Xuanxiang's large-area etching explosion were directly scrapped due to high-energy ablation.

In other words, Guo Zhao used his personal information to prove that this thing was really unwinnable. The result of his desperate efforts was to annihilate hundreds of millions of locusts in three days, and then his own personal information was directly destroyed by the locusts.

As for the heaven and earth essence crystals exploded by the locusts, let alone not picking them up, they were absorbed by the later locusts. Even if they could be picked up, it would still be a loss compared to Guo Zhao's investment. Guo Zhao burned a hundred in the past three days. More than eighty ostrich egg-level high-density crystals of heaven and earth essence. Guo Zhao's listing price for Chen Xi was worth 20 million yuan each.

Although Guo Zhao didn't care much because he was good at rubbing with his hands, he consumed more than 180 of them in three days. In the eyes of the three kings, it was really too outrageous and they really didn't dare to fight this battle!

In his life, he has never given up. He claims that if the whole family is killed, the whole family will be killed. As long as there is one person in the family alive, Wang will fight back sooner or later. He will decisively lay down and let the hammer fall on his face. Do whatever you want. You can eat whatever the locusts want, and you can't afford to offend them. , I really can’t afford it.

At the same time, another army of locusts came north from the eastern part of the Persian Gulf and passed by the three families of Han Baichen. The heads of the three families went to the north because of something they had to do before. After receiving the news, they rushed back desperately, and finally arrived when the locust outpost arrived. Return successfully.

But earlier, because the head of the family was absent, the emergency harvesting of the three families was slow, and there was still a large amount of grain that could not be harvested. Faced with this situation, Han Baichen and the other three families had nothing to say, so they just went ahead.

After fighting for two days, the Han family shot out all the arrows, and the explosive arrows never stopped. The Bai family's three thousand people were attacked with vibrating waves from morning to night, and the Shen family started etching Xuan Xiang on a large scale, crazy. Transform various energies to replenish the two families.

After more than a dozen people died from exhaustion, and the tribesmen at the rear tried their best to snatch some of the food from Lord Locust's mouth, the three families decisively chose to lie down and let the hammer go.

Can't beat it, can't beat it at all. Damn it, even if you kill millions of them, there will still be tens of millions of them swarming you. Even if you kill tens of millions of them, you'll still have hundreds of millions of them swarming you.

It's completely unbeatable, there are too many, too many.

"Is this a locust plague?" Zheng Tai looked at the locusts that were covering the sky and carrying a poisonous smell, and then weighed the super locusts that were presented to him by his silly son, which were bigger than one hand. To be honest, Zheng Tai Tai said that his eyes have really been opened in this life.

"Master, this is a universal antidote, but it is still not completely effective for such large locusts." The researchers from the Zheng family said to Zheng Tai cautiously.

"Can we use the etching formation that absorbs the essence of locusts at the moment?" Zheng Tai sat on the chair a little tiredly and greeted his researchers. Compared with dealing with the locust plague, Zheng Tai felt that his married daughters were better. Even Zheng Ling, who is the most difficult to deal with, is much easier to deal with than Locust.

"Yes, it is not very useful for large locusts, but for ordinary locusts, the essence stripping array can still be used." Zheng Huan replied quickly.

Compared with other aristocratic families, the Zheng family has a large number of backbone forces that can advance many processes at the same time, and the essence stripping array is one of them. This thing was originally used to get rid of insects, and it is also suitable for dealing with locusts. .

"Not to mention those locusts whose inner Qi has separated from the body, how many locusts have become powerful by practicing Qi?" Zheng Tai said with a sneer, "The most troublesome thing about the locust plague is actually the huge number of ordinary locusts. Without that huge number of ordinary locusts, Tens of thousands of internal energy leaving the body...wait, are there tens of thousands of locusts with internal energy leaving the body?"

Zheng Tai originally wanted to say that without the huge number of locusts, a little internal energy would be nothing, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be tens of thousands of locusts with internal energy separated from the body. This was too outrageous!

"According to the sample size we have obtained now, the third wave of locust plague should have a scale of 400 billion. Among them, the birth rate of boundary-breaking locusts is about one in 500 million to one in a billion, which means that there are about four There are about 100 to 800 locusts, and the birth rate of inner-qi-level locusts is about one in ten million, which means there are estimated to be 50,000," Zheng Huan said very tiredly.

There is one thing to say, this probability is already very low, but the number of locusts that cannot be sustained is too outrageous. No matter how small the probability is multiplied by this huge scale, the total data will be very outrageous.

"In fact, considering that the second round of locust plague we are currently facing is affected by early rains, the average intensity of individual locusts has not reached the limit. The average intensity of individual locusts in the next round of locust plague is very likely to rise further." Zheng Huan looked at it with a solemn expression. Zheng Tai got another stab.

"That is to say, the total number of locusts with internal gas levels above the body level will only be more, not less, right?" Zheng Tai said with a very tired heart.

"Yes." Zheng Huan was also tired. This was the most abnormal locust plague he had ever seen since he was a child.

Let's put it this way, if Guo Zhao fully activates the city-state-level large-scale etching array, burning energy crystals endlessly for three days and three nights, and killing hundreds of millions of locusts, the pheromones released by the dead locusts should be enough to stop the locust plague. Avoid this place.

After all, a normal locust plague only amounts to more than a billion. On a scale of several billion, it is outrageous enough to wipe out a state. In this case, if one-tenth of it is killed in a few days, even if you have no brains, you will realize it. There are natural enemies, and then no more.

So in theory, there is nothing wrong with Guo's idea of ​​​​Dianpo, but Dianpo miscalculated the scale.

Even if there is a locust plague on a scale of tens of billions, the number of locusts entering Guoliuyin's fiefdom will be greatly reduced if Bian Po kills them like this.

However, the problem is that the scale of this wave of locusts exceeds 100 billion and is approaching trillions.

Let's put it this way, the locusts Guo Zhao burned with the etching explosion array in three days were not as many as those eaten by his brothers in East Africa because they did not have enough food to eat and were hungry and weak. There are many locusts crawling out of it.

Therefore, the death of hundreds of millions of people has no feeling at all for this kind of locust plague. If you die, you will die. There will be many brothers who will follow.

Zheng Tai and Zheng Huan looked at each other. It was also the first time for them to see internal energy leaving the body measured in tens of thousands. The scale was really outrageous. It always seemed like it would be difficult to kill the remaining things after killing the locust army. Feel.

"Forget it, we can't control those things. If the essence stripping circle is effective, open it for me. Don't care about the energy consumption. Just pump it for me, pump it hard. Kill as many as you can. Fight with the locusts." Yes." Zheng Tai said fiercely.

The Zheng family relied on the essence stripping circle to directly kill 10 to 20 million locusts, but indirectly killed more than 300 million locusts. Of course, the Zheng family did not know the latter, nor did other families.

It's not that this essence-stripping array is so excellent. In fact, even the fully-opened essence-stripping array can only kill locusts approaching this airspace.

Just because it can't be sucked to death doesn't mean it can't be weakened. Even if the essence stripping circle is fully opened, even if it only takes away a small amount of the locust's essence, it's enough to make the locust weak. As an omnivorous locust, a weak brother is really a brother. You smell so good.

The Essence Stripping Array absorbed the essence of hundreds of millions of locusts, sucking tens of millions of them to death. Most of the remaining ones were used as dry food by fellow locusts.
