Liu Ye, who was sitting in a relatively remote corner, looked at Chen Xi's expression and fell into a rare silence. Chen Xi was the only one who would think about things like face at such a time. Others faced this situation, let alone face.
Okay, just don't kill anyone.
"You can still think about face, so it doesn't seem to be a big problem." Compared with others who didn't dare to complain after hearing this, Liu Tong directly said what was in his heart, but it was generally correct, and he still had extra thoughts to think about.
When you lose face, it means things are still under control.
Look at the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire’s credentials are only covered up on the surface. If you really want to talk about it, where is the dignity?
Does the Roman Empire not want to lose face? Yes, but what needs to be considered now is survival. The locusts in North Africa can break through the Strait of Gibraltar and enter Spain, which means that the third wave may break through Frankia and even attack the Italian mainland.
For Rome, such a degree of blow means nothing such as face. Survival is a victory. This is why Sergio abandoned the original structure of the Utopia around the Mediterranean and moved it.
Go to the middle reaches of the two rivers to stop the locusts.
Because the Roman Empire has realized that if it blocks the Mediterranean, the upper reaches of the two rivers that would not be affected by the normal locust plague will definitely be eaten away. Compared with the grain-producing areas on the northern shore of the Mediterranean, the two river basins are the real
In the sense of a grain-producing area.
At this time, instead of preserving the so-called Spain, Gaul, Germania, and Italy for the sake of face, it is better to preserve the upper reaches of the two rivers. At least the real food output of the upper reaches of the two rivers is much greater than these places, especially in the third century.
"Even if the locusts are modified, most of them will not survive this winter." Chen Xi said with a sneer, "Even if those super locusts may have a greatly increased lifespan and may be more resistant to cold, but if you really want to say it, for the three empires,
Without quantity, quality locusts are nothing.”
The most difficult thing to deal with in the Locust Sky is actually the quantity. Locusts with internal air leaving the body and locusts that break the world are nothing to the three empires.
Let's put it this way, if there were not 400 billion ordinary East African locusts, thousands of boundary-breaking locusts, and tens of thousands of inner-qi-detached locusts would be nothing to the three empires. Without the super-standard cloud protection, the three empires would be nothing.
The great empire has many ways to kill these locusts that break through the world and have their inner energy separated from the body.
"Please look at this and speak." Fazheng pointed at the foot-long locust angrily. Even if the Chinese ruler is only 24.2 centimeters, Fazheng's scalp would go numb just by looking at it. What kind of evil beast is this!
"Forget it, does the Roman Empire have any solution?" Chen Xi glanced at the oversized locust, fell into a bit of panic, and looked away and said.
"The Roman Empire said that it hoped that the Han Empire would untie the various shackles on the locusts and let them operate them. When they developed these technologies, they specially left a backdoor." Fazheng took out a stack of information from under the table, "We
I have found professionals to confirm that there is absolutely no problem with the information. It is very high-level information. Normally speaking, if the benefits are not in place, I will never give it to you."
"Has it been tested?" Chen Xi looked at Fazheng and asked.
"It has been tested. Although we cannot give an accurate reply quickly, according to the judgment of professionals, the information is true." Fazheng sighed and said, the evil Roman Empire!
"Then what else is there to say? All the information on the various secret locks, etching locks, and formation locks we have stored here will be sent to Rome. Then we will join forces with Rome to unlock the shackles that exist in the Locust Sky and let the Roman Empire get the back door.
Kill the Locust Sky." Chen Xi frowned and asked, "It's already now, why are you still hesitating? If the Roman Empire's technology is good, at least one third of the Locust Sky can be killed."
"We have 373 variations of various locks here, but Rome sent over 700 variations of locks and said that based on the technology at hand, they have unlocked more than 100 of them."
Fazheng lowered his head and did not dare to look at Chen Xi's expression, but Chen Xi had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his chest.
"Can't you untie it?" Chen Xi asked, looking at everyone present.
"It can be unlocked by violence, but this kind of violence cannot make the locusts unlock themselves and then infect each other." Guo Jia said very tiredly. There should be no problem with the technology provided by Rome. After all, at this time
, don’t even think about hiding anything. If Rome doesn’t want to suffer heavy losses this year, it must be more desperate than the Han Dynasty. In this case, Rome finally found the back door...
"So we can't solve it?" Chen Xi said after being silent for a while.
"Because besides us, Kushan also put a lock inside." Fa Zheng said confidently.
"Okay, first throw Kushan aside. Can we unlock the lock we added ourselves?" Chen Xi was silent for a while and looked at Fazheng seriously and asked.
"Most of them can be solved." Fazheng said helplessly.
"What is the approximate number of this majority?" Chen Xi was already a little desperate. Fa Zheng said that to this extent, Chen Xi actually understood it, but Chen Xi felt that even if he died, he should die decently. This way of death should be done
, too disgraceful.
"There are about 400 kinds of things that can be solved. Among the remaining 100 kinds, there are 60 kinds that were clearly not planned to be solved from the beginning." Fazheng could only tell the truth, Chen Xiwen said.
Yan was silent for a while, feeling that this was really in line with the habits of this group of bastards.
"Okay, let's move on to the next topic. Let's let Rome's credential sink into oblivion." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and then at Fazheng. He felt that the matter was over and there was no need to dwell on it. Anyway, this thing in the Locust Sky can't be seen.
It seems that there is no way to solve it by the back door, it is better to find something realistic.
"We will not reply to the Roman credential for the time being. Wenru, go back and make dozens of copies of this Roman credential and send them to the major families, in your name." Chen Xi waved his hand to Li You and said,
It is impossible to reply, but at least the major families must understand who did the good deeds!
"The investigators sent to Xinzhou have given a clear reply." Jiang Wan stood up and moved on to the next topic, extremely tired, "The current locust plague in Xinzhou is not due to the negligence of the Xinzhou herdsman Malang.
It does come from outside the region, from East Africa, through the Persian Gulf, then north to Central Asia, across the Turan Plain, and then through the mountain lowlands into Xinzhou."
Chen Xi's expression was expressionless when he heard this. He had already prepared himself mentally for this. Jiang Wan's words could at most put an end to Chen Xi's final struggle.
To be honest, Chen Xi agreed to let Liu Yan go because Chen Xi was basically certain that the third wave of locust plague would definitely invade the mainland. In this case, with a veteran figure in Xinzhou, many things could be decided with one word.
No need to worry about any scheduling issues.
As for Liu Yan’s so-called victory over the Locust Sky, anyone who has seen the scene when the locust plague broke out in East Africa would not have such hope, defeating the Locust Sky? What are you thinking!
However, Chen Xi’s last hope at that time was actually that Sima Lang’s oversight caused the local locust plague to break out. Although in that case, Sima Lang would definitely be punished with multiple crimes and beheaded because of this incident and the last incident, but at least
It's better than now. The worst thing is that Chen Xi will remember to give Sima Lang a few more sticks of incense.
"Send people to Xinzhou to inspect the warehousing. If there is any discrepancy between the warehousing and the books, we will take it down directly and be prepared to open the warehouse to release grain." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Mobilize the goose factories in Bingzhou and Zangzhou to go to Xinzhou for inspection.
Support, order the merging of states, start harvesting forage in northern Xinjiang, start green storage, transfer grain reserves from Southeast Asia, and provide support to the northwest."
These are actually reserve-level arrangements. Chen Xi had considered them before, but now he gave up the struggle and faced reality.
"Do we currently have any special means on hand that can eliminate locusts on a large scale or delay the migration of locusts?" After Chen Xi recognized the reality, he no longer considered those that existed and went directly to deal with the locust sky.
"Conventional solutions can only kill, and the current situation is only suitable for some dangerous solutions." Zhuge Liang said with a bit of sigh. Chen Xi had arranged for people to collect various solutions since the outbreak of the locust plague in East Africa. Originally, Zhuge Liang thought Chen Xi was making a fuss.
As long as Rome is stabilized, Zhuge Liang can only admire Chen Xi's foresight. The locust sky has really rushed to the Han Dynasty.
"Let's talk about the regular plan first." Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and said.
"Because we have been carrying out infrastructure construction in Xinzhou. Over the years, we have been continuously constructing while also exploring the local terrain. Considering the Jiuzhong Tianque plan, we have a special formation structure in Xinzhou itself." Zhuge Liang slowly said.
opened his mouth and said.
There is a saying that this is already an empire-level trump card, but if it is used to deal with Locust Sky at this time, it can only be said to be a conventional plan.
"Based on the super model clouds of Kushan, relying on the mountains, rivers, water network and roads and cities to build a large-scale military formation, Tianyuan Xuanxiang was built east of Congling." Zhuge Liang took out the prepared plan and passed it on to everyone present one by one.
Ordered a portion.
"In this case, the underlying structure of Jiuchong Tianque in Xinzhou will have to be rebuilt in the future. The underlying structures of the two sides are not exactly the same. This kind of super-large Xuanxiang, considering the power of heaven and earth, can easily cause damage to the original structure.
Damage, even causing faults in the mountains and rivers." Before Chen Xi could speak, Fazheng raised an objection.
"How big is the span of Tianyuan Xuanxiang?" Guo Jia seemed to obviously agree.
"Can this thing withstand the impact of the cloud caused by nearly a hundred billion locusts?" Man Chong seemed to agree with the arrangement of this thing, but he was somewhat doubtful whether it could withstand it.
"The span exceeds 700 kilometers, and Tianyuan Xuanxiang has combined the Nordic world barriers and carried out a new round of optimization. It is essentially an extension of the spatial level." Li You actually doesn't agree with this plan, but who makes this his dear
Disciple's advice.
"How big can Tianyuan be enlarged?" Chen Xi asked curiously.
"It's a bit exaggerated to say it's so far away, but based on the conditions I mentioned before, we estimate that we can extend the distance to 6,000 kilometers. Our chances of winning against the locusts head-on may be very low, but when the locusts arrive in New South Wales, they themselves
We are already close to the limit of our lifespan, we just need to delay and wait for Locust Sky to die." Zhuge Liang explained his reasons.
Even if the third wave of super locust plagues goes against the grain, the lifespan of locusts is only a few months. In fact, all real super locust plagues in human history were not eliminated by humans themselves, but the locusts themselves perished after a certain period of time.
Therefore, in this case, Zhuge Liang thought that he could just delay the time. The small world could not stop the locust sky. That was because the number of locusts was too huge. Using the exhaustive method, on the nonsense scale of hundreds of billions, it would not take more than a few minutes.
It can be detected by testing, and as long as one locust detects it, all the locusts will fly out under the influence of pheromones.
So just use Tianyuan Xuanxiang, a special distance-stretching Xuanxiang, to give the locusts the entire distance of the world, allowing the locusts to fly for a longer period of time until the end of their lifespan.
"If this Xuanxiang is used, how much damage will it cause to the terrain of Xinzhou?" Chen Xi asked with some thoughtfulness.
"The core of the array is in the Tianshan Mountains. Even if there are other ways to share the burden, it is estimated that it will cause earthquakes and the mountains may break." Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, because he has not done it before, so he really wants to give an accurate answer.
, Zhuge Liang is not sure, but this method of stretching space distance will definitely have backlash in the end. This is different from the small world, this is done on the surface of the planet.
"Next." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "Let's see if there are any other options first. Don't go too far on the surface. The cause of the locust plague is really the use of the planetary weapon Blazing Sky Ring. Now you are using it.
This kind of thing, even if it cannot reach the level of planetary weapons, it is fast."
It's not as powerful as a planetary weapon, it's almost as powerful as a continental shelf oscillator, and it can also cause earthquakes. To be honest, Chen Xi doesn't think it's necessary to go to this step.
"The Medical Academy combined the large chestnuts from Rome to create a fungus that can quickly parasitize organisms and form zombies. It has miraculous effects on locusts." Zhuge Liang came up with another plan.
At first glance, this was done jointly by Rome and the Han Dynasty, but Zhuge Liang was rejected by everyone after he said it. The shadow of the Lord of All Spirits has not faded yet. Have you come up with something more advanced?
"A poison made from evil substances can quickly poison the locusts after they are swallowed. Moreover, this toxin will continue to replicate itself after entering the locust's body. Because there is autophagy in the locust sky, it can be sustained.
To poison the locusts to death." Zhuge Liang came up with a plan again.
"Have you verified this thing?" Chen Xi asked very carefully.
"It has been verified, but it cannot be verified outdoors at present, because it is not sure whether this method will cause new problems." Zhuge Liang said after flipping through the final experimental content of the plan.
"What kind of evil is it made of?" Liu Ye, who had been silent and was sitting in the corner, said. He felt that this solution seemed to solve the problem. After all, if you eat poisonous locusts, you will also turn into poisonous locusts. This kind of
Exponential growth should be the only solution to locusts at present.
"A specially created thing that is almost an evil god. What I am currently worried about is its infectivity, and whether a large number of derivatives will create a true evil god after annihilating the locusts." Zhuge Liang looked at the final threat item in the plan and spoke.
said.
"You can try this. It's easier to defeat a super evil god than a locust sky." Liu Ye said slowly, "With the power reserved by the three empires, it shouldn't be possible to kill a normal three-level world-breaking organism.
Even if the problem is conceptual, we can kill it, and I think we have added a backdoor to this kind of thing from the beginning."
"Indeed." Chen Xi nodded and agreed with Liu Ye's statement, then looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Are there others of the same type?"
"There are several others, but they are not very mature." Zhuge Liang looked through them and found that there are several others, but none of them are finished or verified yet.
"Let the researchers advance this type of plan." Liu Bei also said. The Locust Sky is difficult to deal with simply because the number is too exaggerated, but it needs to be replaced by some powerful evil gods, and they are still guys who have the backdoor of the Han Empire in their bodies.
, that would be much easier to deal with.
"Then implement this plan first, give things to Rome, and let Rome put them in East Africa." Liu Tong saw that Liu Bei and Chen Xi had reached an agreement, and directly made the decision. The vote was put on the spot by a show of hands. Except for a few bureaucrats who abstained, everyone present was basically unanimous.
pass.
"What other plans are there?" Chen Xi looked at the stack of documents that Zhuge Liang took out and asked, "The kind that can be solved quickly. We don't have much time now."
"There are several more dangerous plans." Zhuge Liang mentioned the word danger again.
"Let's talk about it." Liu Bei frowned and said, at this time, let's deal with the Locust Sky first.
"These three plans are of the same type. Let me briefly explain the logic of these three plans." Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said, "Create the leader, create the Locust Sky, guide the Locust Sky, and split the Locust Sky. The whole process is
so."
Chen Xi took a breath. Although the locust plague was so big that Chen Xi even called it a "sky of locusts", Chen Xi just talked about it. He never thought that there would be a "sky of locusts", but Zhuge Liang meant this.
Are you really going to create a locust sky?
Everyone present naturally looked at Zhuge Liang, and then at Li You. Only Li You could come up with such a radical plan. Normal people would not even think about it.
"The locust plague is so serious now. To put it bluntly, it's because there are so many and they migrate everywhere. So assuming there is a supreme leader and all the other locusts have to follow this leader, wouldn't many problems be solved?" Li You said without hesitation.
stood up and explained.
"One is not enough at all, 400 billion is enough." Chen Xi said angrily.
"Wouldn't the whole upper and lower structure be better?" Li You said with a sneer.
