Chapter 1269 1253. Insects fly, flying all over the sky (45)

The plan to turn the farm into a tourist destination has been launched, new farms have been opened, and houses have been built in Sunset Town.

This time, Wang Bo adopted the Maori style of thatched cottages. First, it can give tourists a sense of novelty. Second, it can be built with low cost and fast speed. Third, it is more in line with the natural style of the farm.

After returning to Sunset Town for several days, he couldn't forget the calm and peaceful mood he felt when he stood on the farmland that morning. He wanted the tourists to experience this feeling. As long as a similar environment can be created, he believes it will not Disaster.

On Monday of the new week, Bowen sorted out a piece of information and handed it to Wang Bo, saying: "This is the information about the township areas that will be canceled that we spent half a week sorting out. I think you will be interested."

Wang Bo took a look and asked, "Homeless town?"

Bo Wen nodded and said, "Yes, Vagabond Town, since the old Line 8 gradually became cold, many people in the town have moved out. Now Vagabond Town is like a ghost town, and there are not many families left."

Wang Bo had seriously studied it in order to deal with Homeless Town.

This town has a long history and has existed for a century and a half. Many artists and craftsmen once lived there, and the town still has some buildings related to them.

For example, Captain Bally’s House, Summer Banquet, Easter Celebration Market and Labor Day Market, etc., all belong to intangible cultural heritage. Although they have not been declared, they have the same nature.

In addition to these buildings, Bowen has collected more complete materials, including the ruins of old shops such as London stables, Cooper's firm, Belfister firm and Jolly's grain store.

After reading these materials, Wang Bo became more and more interested, and asked, "Can we get them?"

Bowen shrugged and said: "It must be very difficult, but who knows the result? Maybe it's man-made, we can move all these buildings here."

Sunset Town lacks a sense of history and culture. With the arrival of these buildings, it will definitely increase the quaint atmosphere and make the town more flavorful.

Wang Bo handed over this issue to the government and asked everyone to find a way to relocate these buildings. If anyone has resources to borrow, he will reward them.

He is also using various methods. In two days, he wrote a long article and prepared to submit it to the Wellington government. In the name of protecting the history and culture of Tahiti Town, he wanted to take over some of the buildings inside.

After carefully writing out this application, Wang Bo approached Qingyang to have a look. Qingyang glanced at it and said, "Since you need to apply to the government, it must be very difficult for you to apply for receiving valuable architectural and cultural heritage. "

Wang Bodao: "It depends on man's effort. Maybe it will pass? I am also a core member of the Green Party."

That Qingyang shook his head and said: "I don't think this is appropriate, why don't we apply for the merger of the town and let the Tahiti Town and the Sunset Town merge, but before doing so, we have to go to the Tahiti Town for an assessment to see their Condition."

Wang Bo was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't considered this idea, because the biggest conflict between Sunset Town and Dahitian Town was the merged town.

Four years ago, Mayor Robert came to him and abandoned this solution. At that time, Wang Bo refused because he was worried that the dove would occupy the magpie's nest.

Thinking of this, he sighed a little: "Feng Shui turns around, four years, it's been more than four years so soon."

Then Qingyang asked him what he was feeling, and he told what happened in the past.

After hearing what he said, Qingyang laughed loudly and said: "Did you leave a word for him at that time: Don't bully the young and poor."

Wang Bo shook his head and said, "Why did you leave this sentence?"

That Qingyang said: "Have you stopped reading novels? This sentence is very popular in novels now."

Wang Bo closed the application form and said, "Take care of Tahiti Town first, and then read the novel."

As a result, before he took people to investigate the current situation of Tahiti Town, an agricultural disaster suddenly struck.

Plague of locusts!

Starting from the northern half of the Southern Alps, locusts suddenly appeared all over the sky and attacked farms around Christchurch with lightning speed.

This is the autumn harvest season. The locust plague is too destructive to the crops. They will eat the leaves, fruits and even stems of the crops and plants. Several farms around Christchurch have gone bankrupt in a short period of time!

Wang Bo learned of the news of the locust plague at the first time. At that time, the news had not appeared on the Internet, and the Quinoa Association had already begun to pass on relevant information.

The association requires farms around the world to rush to harvest grain quickly, and at the same time negotiate with the government, asking for the temporary release of environmental protection laws and regulations, allowing farmers to burn dry grain.

Then relevant news began to appear on the Internet. When Wang Bo turned on his computer, he saw horrible pictures: locusts in the sky, locusts in the farmland, locusts on the car, and even locusts on people!

The locust plague broke out very quickly and violently. The number of locusts in the pictures was unprecedented for Wang Bo. He felt that if anyone had trypophobia, he would spit out just by looking at these pictures.

Locusts tend to water and love depressions, and locust plagues are often accompanied by severe droughts. They migrate from arid places to low-lying and waterlogged places in groups. Therefore, in ancient China, there were so-called "locusts when drought is extreme" and "locusts must be born after a long drought".

The drought in New Zealand has lasted for three or four years. However, in addition to the more earthquakes in the history of this country, other aspects can be called good weather. Such disasters rarely occur, so the early warning and response capabilities are relatively poor.

However, relevant experts quickly responded to this incident, first explaining the reason.

The main reason is that the arid environment has many benefits for the reproduction, growth and survival of locusts, because locusts lay their eggs in the soil. Under drought conditions, the soil is firmer, the hatching rate of locusts is high and they are not easy to be predated by natural enemies.

The drought caused the locusts to reproduce in large numbers and grow rapidly. A program began to report that night, and the expert team conducted sampling and observation at the foot of the Southern Alps.

Then they found that the number of eggs laid by locusts in these areas has greatly increased. When it is large, it can lay 4,000 to 5,000 egg masses per square meter of soil, and each egg mass contains 50 to 80 eggs, that is, there are 200,000 eggs per square meter. to 400,000 eggs.

Looking at the densely packed insect eggs on the TV, Wang Bo couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Fortunately, the white cherries have already been harvested, and he doesn't have much grain to grow now. Motak packed everything up last week, whether it's wheat or green corn, they've all been stored.

But locusts don’t only attack farms, they attack green plants. Wang Bo still has pastures in his hands, and pastures will be more attractive to locusts, and he is not sure that the heart of pastures can drive away locusts.
