Thousand Lake Republic, winter plain.

    Due to the low latitude and warm climate, the great plain with a total area of more than 100000 square kilometers has been one of the most famous high-quality winter wheat producing areas in Huiguang continent for thousands of years.

    Before the Qianhu Kingdom, the land price of Lindong plain was five times higher than the average land price of the whole kingdom. All the nobles who owned the fiefdoms here were not only old-fashioned manor nobles, but also the base of conservative forces.

    However, great changes have taken place in the wintering Plain since Renault came to power.

    Due to various crimes, some of the aristocrats in this area were deprived of their aristocratic status by the parliament. Their property was forcibly redeemed by the Parliament at a very low price, and finally fell into the hands of the Muse chamber of Commerce.

    In addition, some of the aristocrats went bankrupt one after another in the tide of bankruptcies caused by cheap beans, rice and rice. They were forced to sell the farmhouses that had been inherited by their families for hundreds or even thousands of years at a low price.

    More than 95% of the farms were also acquired by the Muse chamber of Commerce.

    As a result, the speaker of the Muse chamber of Commerce, and one of the lovers of a certain crown, miss boqidais, took advantage of the super tiger skin of the supreme speaker and carried out the operation as fierce as a tiger to reclaim more than 90% of the land in the wintering plain.

    In the next two years, thanks to the high-efficiency mechanized production, advanced planting technology and the large-scale use of bird manure, the planting area of winter wheat increased greatly, with an annual output of more than 8 million tons.

    It''s almost 15 times more than 10 years ago.

    Dahlori and Scarlett from haichaoling potion Research Institute, looking at the endless wheat field, could not help but ask:

    "Mr. heseri, is the epidemic of melanosis really so serious?"

    "Yes, Miss Scarlett!"

    A middle-aged man in the uniform of a senior researcher, also known as the "heseri" of the Department of wood, replied anxiously:

    "all the staff of the Agricultural Research Institute have tried every means, and even tested a variety of magic drugs. The plants suffering from" black inflammation "have never shown any signs of improvement, and the height of the plants is at least shorter than normal 40%。”

    "All wheat fields close to the infected area often have the same symptoms within 1 to 2 weeks Even if the means of physical blockade are used, that is, to eradicate and burn all the winter wheat in the infected area, and to spread disinfectant in the field, the winter wheat in the adjacent area will still be infected after a period of time. "

    "So far, more than 60% of the wheat fields have been infected with the damned" black inflammation "...."

    This huge number makes Scarlett''s pretty face look frightened.

    Hessely jumped into the field, bent down and pulled out a winter wheat plant, peeled off its stem and showed it to Scarlett:

    "Miss Scarlett, this winter wheat plant has been infected by" black inflammation " You see, there are subtle black spots at the root of the stem In half a month at most, a large number of black spots will grow on the whole stem. The parts without black spots will be slightly gray in color... "

    Scarlett took the stem, looked at it carefully for a moment, and nodded.

    "The worst thing is, according to our experiment of using the extraordinary power of the tree system to force the ripening plants, the yield of the diseased plants will be reduced by 80% - 90%, and a few plants will even have a phenomenon of no harvest..."

    Heseri said another more surprising news:

    "if the epidemic situation is not solved, I am afraid that the annual yield of Winter Wheat in the whole winter plain will drop sharply this year, which may be less than 1 million tons..."

    His lordship''s face became extremely bitter.

    "The most terrible thing is that the disease does not only occur in the Republic of China, it has spread to the whole human world, and large-scale outbreaks have also taken place in the kingdom of white antelope and the southern Xinghai continent As far as I know, more than 50% of the winter wheat producing areas in the white antelope Kingdom, 70% of the winter wheat in Xinghai continent, and more than 90% of the other staple food, black potato, all have the same situation. "

    Scarlett asked again:

    "what''s the situation in the grain producing areas of the two great lakes of the Republic, namely, the soybean rice planting bases of Lake Indiana and lake Jones? Has there been an epidemic of "black inflammation"

    "Doumi rice has also been infected with the disease, but the strange thing is that the symptoms of doumi rice are much better. According to the experiment conducted by the Agricultural Research Institute, the yield will be reduced by 10% at most. In fact, it may be even less Fortunately, otherwise, the whole human world will fall into a terrible famine. "

    At this point, heseri''s eyes were a little happy:

    "according to the Lord''s request, the Republic has built a large number of granaries, and the grain stored is enough for all the people to eat for two years In addition, the Legislative Yuan has ordered that the planting area of soybean rice rice be urgently expanded, so as to achieve an annual output of 30 million tons this year. "

    "Therefore, the Republic will not have much influence on this" black inflammation "disaster At most, it will only lead to a slight increase in the price of grain, which will lead to the increase in the price of other commodities... "

    He lowered his voice and said:

    "with the spread of this epidemic, there may be big trouble in other places, and it is estimated that many people will starve to death..."Scarlett was silent for a moment, and suddenly said something a little irrelevant:

    "do you think, sir hessely, that this wheat field is very depressing?"

    "Depression?"

    Hesperi''s face was puzzled:

    "sorry, Miss Scarlett, I don''t have a similar feeling..."

    However, he did not ignore the other side''s words.

    After all, everyone knows that this young and beautiful girl has been personally appraised by the great Lord as one of the most promising candidates for the advanced upanist in the human world.

    If the future upanist is crowned, who will not pay attention to it?

    Scarlett was staring at the wheat fields like the prairie, her eyes lost focus, and she seemed to feel something.

    Heseri was there, waiting quietly.

    For a long time, the girl whispered:

    "I don''t know why, the smell here reminds me of the monsters in the laboratory Well, you know, Hercule, those damned dissimilators... "

    Heseri''s face suddenly became extremely solemn, and asked in a low voice:

    "then, do you think that this" black inflammation "is caused by the void demons? God, if that''s true, it will be a great event... "

    After a moment''s hesitation, he could not help adding:

    "as an extraordinary person, I understand that sometimes the telepathy is incredible, but its accuracy is often very high So, Miss Scarlett, I personally agree with you. "

    "You are really worthy of being a gifted and extraordinary person favored by your Lord It seems that our director, Mr. Alex, who has cultivated "bean rice rice rice", has definitely found the right person to invite you as a consultant to solve the epidemic situation of "black inflammation"

    Scarlett shook her head slightly:

    "it''s just personal judgment. I''m not sure, let alone conclusive evidence I still need further research. However, I have a hunch that starting from this direction should be a good idea... "

    The girl looked at her colleagues in the R & D system and made a request:

    "Mr. hersely, I need a helper. Please, in the name of Agricultural Research Institute, invite another student of my teacher, Darcy, to help me with my research..."

    "No problem, I''ll handle it myself!"

    Hesperi repeatedly promised:

    "I have been famous for your reputation for a long time I really look forward to the day when you two gifted and extraordinary people, as your Lord said, will be promoted to the crown and become the important pillars of Haichao collar and Qianhu Republic By the way, and Mr. aer.... "

    Scarlett replied faintly:

    "you''re so flattered!"

    After a pause, the girl''s pretty face flashed a trace of indiscernible red, and her red lips spat out a very firm word:

    "I''m just a subordinate of the Lord, as long as the Lord has any need, I will do my best!"
