Recently, locusts have been rampant in East Africa, so an American movie released in 2004 has caught fire again.
The name of the movie is Locust Destruction Day. The general story is that a scientist has eaten enough to create a mutant locust, which is a mixture of desert locust and Australian disease locust, this locust is resistant, ordinary insecticides can not kill it, and the lifespan is also 3 times that of ordinary locusts, reaching 2 years.
Wherever these locusts went, there were no plant fragments, because they were mutants, and even humans eventually attacked. If it is an ordinary locust, to kill them, usually take the way of air spraying, but air spraying is harmful to livestock, you need to inform people in advance to circle their own livestock, there is another method is fire attack, but fire attack is easy to cause fire, and another method is smoke.
But this ordinary drug can not kill the locusts, people can not help at all, in the end, intend to use biological and chemical weapons.
This indicates that people living in a certain area will be wiped out along with locusts.
At the critical moment, it was found that the locusts were attracted by light, killed them with high-voltage electricity, and finally, on the way the locusts were expected to fly, the locusts were eliminated with high-voltage electricity.
Now, the locusts that have attracted attention to the United Nations statement are mainly desert locusts, which, if not controlled, could spread to the entire African continent, the Middle East and countries along the Mediterranean coast. The end result is that the food is eaten by locusts, and people have to go hungry.
The lifespan of desert locusts is generally 30-180 days, if it flies at a distance of 150 kilometers per day, where will it fly in about half a year? No one could have predicted, however, that this locust is said to prefer hot and slightly humid areas.
Now, the general concern is whether the desert locusts that began in East Africa can reach China. If you fly to China, the most likely places are Yunnan and Tibet, although there have been desert locusts in Yunnan, but they have not been confirmed by scientists, which has also become an important basis for experts to predict that desert locusts will not come to China, because China is not suitable for such locusts to survive.
However, netizens have also developed a rich imagination for the elimination of locusts, that is, eating them, using them for barbecue taste is very delicious, plus chickens and ducks and people eat together. This is obviously a bit funny, because hundreds of millions of locusts, it is too late to eat.
In the history of eating locusts, it is not only modern people who eat locusts. In the early days, people thought that the occurrence of the locust plague was the extortion and extortion of the people by the officials, which caused the punishment of the heavens, and when the locust plague occurred, they only dared to worship the gods and did not dare to kill insects, and even set up temples to sacrifice. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a historical record of a large-scale locust plague in China, and the people really had nothing to eat, so they had to catch locusts to eat.
If we accumulate more than 500 recorded locust plagues in China's history, it can be said that China is a country with sufficient experience in fighting locust plagues. People counted the areas where locust plagues occurred in ancient times according to the temples dedicated to locusts erected by the ancients, and found that the occurrence of locust plagues in the lower reaches of the Yellow River was the highest, that is, the three provinces of Hebei, Shandong and Henan had the highest probability of locust plagues. According to the statistics of the ancients, modern people began to control and control the distribution density of locusts, so although we can usually see the presence of locusts, but the number is not much, it will not have a big impact on crops.
In fact, in order to control the locust plague and prevent it from burning, Chinese scientists have also been studying the genes of locusts, and have developed drugs to control locusts, so that locusts have lost the ability to gather and migrate. Therefore, even if the East African locusts had the ability to fly to China, Chinese scientists would not let these locusts fare well. So, Chinese shouldn't have to worry.
