Into Unscientific

half an hour later.

The two food increase plans mentioned by Xu Yun were jointly reported to the capital by Li Jue, Qian Wushi and others.

The telegram level is

top secret!

Two hours passed.

A reply came from the capital:

Preliminarily agree with Han Li's plan, but whether it is finally adopted depends on the specific situation in the future, so

From now on, start searching for Black Soldier Fly and preparing Coke simultaneously!

after one day.

Bagui Province.

Baise Zone.

Jingxi County.

This moment.

Wang Ensheng, then head of the People's Armed Forces Department of Jingxi County, was leading a team of plainclothes soldiers into the forest on the outskirts of the county.

As a port city on the land border of China.

Although Jingxi County does not undertake nuclear weapons or other special secret national projects, it is not a key area for scientific research.

However, due to its geographical location close to a certain country, the entire county is equipped with a very high level of secrecy.

For example, Wang Ensheng.

He seemed to be just the head of the People's Armed Forces Department at the county level, an ordinary veteran.

He has no education and no family background, his whole body is as black as carbon, and he is still a chirp in his forties.

It seems that it is impossible to find a first marriage in this life. Either you will die alone, or you will find a widow to make do with.

But in fact.

Like Huang Weiguo, director of Wayao Factory in Guide County, he is responsible for other special confidential tasks outside of work.

At the same time, Wang Ensheng has already been married in his hometown, and now his son is about to join the army.

And because of this.

The capital immediately contacted Wang Ensheng after receiving the news from Xu Yun, and handed over the task of searching for the Black Soldier Fly colony directly to him.

Other than that.

The organization also dispatched Chen Shutong, the deputy director, and three researchers from the nearest Bagui Institute of Insects overnight to provide technical support for the search mission—to put it bluntly, to identify insects.

This time, the search team led by Chen Shutong and Wang Ensheng consisted of more than 30 people. After entering the forest, they were quickly divided into six groups, each consisting of four to five members.

Although these teams are not equipped with communication equipment-not that level these days, each team is equipped with several shotguns just in case.

Once encountering an unexpected situation where the distance is too far to communicate in language.

They will fire warning shots.

A person in charge like Wang Ensheng is carrying a covered semi-automatic rifle on his back.

Wait a few more years.

The rabbits made a mistake in the first hang-up competition held by the rabbits, and the whole army competed.

Wang Ensheng will also win the men's semi-automatic rifle 100-meter shooting championship with his good marksmanship, and will be awarded the title of personal first-class top player.

Then under the promotion of Wang Ensheng and others.

The entire search team gradually began to move southeast along the outskirts of Jingxi.

five hours later.

The search team arrived at the Hurun Commune under Jingxi County—that is, Hurun Town in later generations.

Students who were the land master of Bagui in their previous life should know it.

The Shiwanda Mountains are still in a relatively primitive state these days, and the paths between the various mountains are rugged and difficult to walk.

In addition, it is at the end of summer at this time, and the weather is extremely hot and dry.

So I didn't go for a while.

Chen Shutong's clothes were wet with sweat.

Seeing this, Wang Ensheng thoughtfully pretended to be exhausted, and said:

"Professor Chen, I think everyone is a little tired, why don't we take a rest for a while."

Chen Shutong pinched the collar of his shirt with his index finger and thumb and shook it a few times, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Okay, let's take a five-minute break, let's go after a three-minute break."

Wang Ensheng had no objection.

Then he and Chen Shu chose a shady stone to lean against, and took the time to rest.

Wang Ensheng poured some water on his face with a kettle in his hand, and wiped it with his hand after finishing the work:

"Cool!"

Chen Shutong held his head up, gurgling to replenish his water.

After a while.

Wang Ensheng looked at Chen Shutong curiously, and after confirming that there was no one within a few meters around him, he asked:

"Professor Chen, what is the organization's reason for asking us to find the flatworm in such a hurry this time?"

"Uh, if it's something confidential, I didn't ask."

Chen Shutong is also a comrade of the secrecy front. Hearing this, he shook his head lightly, and said in a very strong Bagui accent:

"Captain Wang, to tell you the truth, I'm also wondering about this."

"It's not that I'm showing off my qualifications. Over the years, I haven't given out missions once or twice, but this is the first time I'm so confused—maybe there may be some arrangements in the organization that we don't know about."

Chen Shutong's words were really not perfunctory, and there were a lot of question marks in his mind at this moment.

To know.

In the past few years, Chen Shutong has performed various tasks in the name of scientific research.

For example, Chen Shutong was involved in the exploration of uranium mines and the transfer of some materials from deep mountains.

However, although each of the previous missions was highly confidential, executors like Chen Shutong would still be informed or they could guess something internally.

For example a few months ago.

Chen Shutong was ordered to go out with a scientific expedition team in the name of searching for South China tigers. There were several sealed metal boxes in the team.

After these boxes were sent to a certain location, they went through some procedures and were checked by several plainclothes soldiers.

During the whole process, Chen Shutong was not told what was in the box, and the communication between the two parties was also very brief.

But it's obvious.

The box contains either instruments or some special items.

But for this search mission, Chen Shutong was completely puzzled:

The organization didn't ask him to hand over anything, but asked him to find a gathering point for black soldier flies around Jingxi.

As one of the few entomologists in China, Chen Shutong really knows about black soldier flies.

but

What is the organization looking for this thing for?

at the same time.

What made Chen Shutong feel weird this time, apart from the search target, there was one more thing that he was also a little puzzled about:

This time, the organization directly assigned the area of ​​Jingxi, and asked them to go to the southeast of Jingxi to look for the Black Soldier Fly.

Indeed.

As a subsidiary area around Shiwan Dashan, the area of ​​the suburbs of Jingxi is not small.

But when this range is combined with the scientific research projects of animals or insects, it is not enough.

For example, in the past, searches for South China tigers or brown bears in China basically started with thousands of square kilometers.

how to say.

as if

The organization has long determined that there will be black soldier flies in the suburbs of Jingxi.

After much deliberation, Chen Shutong couldn't think of a reason, so the answer he and Wang Ensheng gave was really not polite.

And just when Chen Shutong regained some of his physical strength, he was about to greet Wang Ensheng to start again.

From a certain direction not far from them, a serious and loud voice suddenly sounded:

"Don't move! Who are you?"

Immediately afterwards, there was a slightly noisy yelling.

Seeing this, Wang Ensheng was slightly taken aback, as if he was a little surprised by the situation.

But within a second, he came back to his senses.

I saw him pick up the semi-automatic rifle that looked like a fishing rod in a bag beside him, and put his other hand on his waist:

"Professor Chen, I'll go over and check the situation!"

Chen Shutong also stood up:

"I am coming too!"

Wang Ensheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Although there seem to be some special circumstances, with their specifications, personal safety is basically nothing to worry about.

The place where the yelling broke out was only about 30 meters away from Wang Ensheng's position, but he and Chen Shu couldn't see the specific situation clearly at the same time due to the obstruction of the woods and stones.

when they come here.

Our vice-captain Cucumber (real name) is leading several team members, presenting a semi-confrontational posture with five or six strong men.

One of the shirtless, leading men was frowning at the cucumber:

"Animal scientific expedition team? Impossible, we have not received relevant notice at all."

"Where is your superior department? What about the coordination letter? Do you dare to call me in the commune to confirm the situation?"

"This comrade."

Wang Ensheng, who had just rushed to the scene, subconsciously wanted to explain when he saw this.

As a result, after seeing the man's face clearly, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and the second half of the original words stopped in his mouth, and he said in astonishment:

"Pillar?!"

Hear the word "pillar".

The naked man who was still looking at the posture of the enemy agents also froze, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Wang Ensheng.

After seeing Wang Ensheng, he was also stunned:

"team leader?!"

Seeing that the other party recognized him, Wang Ensheng hurriedly stepped forward, hammered the man's chest heavily, and said happily:

"Zhuzi, it's really you! We haven't seen each other for three or four years, right?"

"By the way, aren't you the captain of the militia in the Liuhe Commune in Youjiang? Why did you come to Jingxi?"

Zhu Zi smiled very honestly, and after realizing that the person who came was a friendly army, the original aggressive appearance had long since disappeared:

"That's the Lingering Garden Commune—Captain, you don't know yet. Years ago, the Lingering Garden Commune was relocated and reorganized as a whole, and it was expanded into a special area together with Anping next to it."

"So I was transferred to Hurun Commune by the organization to be the captain of the militia. No, I am leading Xiao Guo and the others on daily patrols."

Say it.

Zhu Zi glanced at Wang Ensheng and Chen Shutong beside him with a slightly novel look, and had some guesses in his mind:

"Captain, are you on a mission?"

Wang Ensheng nodded slightly towards the pillar, but said nothing.

After all, although Zhuzi is his old comrade in arms, he is quite reliable.

But after all, he is not a member of the secrecy front, and some principles must be followed, and what should not be said cannot be said.

Then he took a deep breath and said to Chen Shutong and Cucumber who had confronted Zhuzi before:

"Professor Chen, and Xiao Huang, come, let me introduce you."

"This is Wang Erzhu, my subordinate when I was in the army, nicknamed Zhuzi, a combat hero who participated in the Peninsula War and killed more than 20 devils across the sea."

"See this scar on his stomach that's bigger than a lesbian's Caesarean section? It's from the explosives on the battlefield."

"At that time, our medical conditions were limited, and the wound could not be healed, so we left such a mark."

When Chen Shutong and the others heard the words, they were immediately in awe.

Even Cucumber, who had always been a little upset because of being bullied by Zhu Zi, now had a look of deep admiration on his face.

To know.

This scar was the size of a palm, and the length was estimated to be more than twenty centimeters.

Calculate according to time.

When the pillar was injured, maybe the whole stomach was blown out of a hole?

This is a true hero!

With such a hero as the captain of the militia, the local people are really blessed.

Zhu Zi smiled a little embarrassedly, showing a rare shyness.

After a while.

Wang Ensheng suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhuzi:

"Zhuzi, you are also a veteran of the battlefield, so you also know that there are some things that I can't go into too much detail."

"So don't ask too much about the next thing, just answer my question, understand?"

Zhu Zi's expression suddenly became solemn:

"clear!"

Wang Ensheng nodded lightly, turned around and glanced at Chen Shutong, and said to Zhuzi:

"Zhuzi, you are familiar with this place, have you seen a place where a large number of flatworms gather near here?"

Flat eye flies.

This is a local appellation for the Black Soldier Fly in Jingxi, just like the dragon meat in the donkey meat on the ground actually refers to the flower-tailed hazel pheasant.

"Where flatworms congregate?"

Zhu Zi blinked when he heard the words, then suddenly thought of something, and nodded quickly:

"Yes, there really is!"

I heard this.

Chen Shutong on the side quickly asked:

"Comrade Zhuzi, where is the location you mentioned?"

Zhuzi looked up at Chen Shutong, pointed to the southeast, and said:

"Near the Sandieling Waterfall in Xinling Village, there are a lot of flatworms there!"

"I haven't counted the exact number, but based on experience, it is estimated that there are at least a few hundred thousand."

When Chen Shutong heard the words, he immediately exchanged glances with Wang Ensheng.

Then they said in unison:

"Go, take us over there to have a look!"

Known weeks.

Huaxia has a vast land and many scenic spots.

At the same time it is very interesting.

These scenic spots are basically related to immortals and gods.

For example, some immortals have eaten here, played chess, slept, played glue, etc.

And in these legends.

Nuwa is undoubtedly the most common character.

The frequency of its appearance is almost equal to that of the empress in white to the fantasy web novels of later generations, and the blond-haired tsundere to the neon animation.

Sandieling Waterfall, located in Xinling Village, Hurun Township, is a very common example.

It is rumored that when Nu Wa was refining five-color stones to mend the sky, she was too careless and made a hole in the Milky Way.

The Milky Way water poured down accordingly, and Nuwa had no way to return to heaven, so she could only look at it and sigh.

She randomly pointed it three times with her jade finger, thus forming the current beautiful Sandieling Waterfall.

As a materialist fighter, Wang Ensheng naturally didn't quite believe this rumor.

But it is undeniable.

Nature does sometimes do weird things.

Such as the spectacular Sandieling Waterfall.

Another example.

This moment.

Appeared in front of him, at this pool by the waterfall.

This is a small pool formed by the water of the waterfall, surrounded by various dense plants and weeds, and the trees are tall and dense.

If you just look at this picture.

This is undoubtedly a clean sanatorium.

But in stark contrast to this quiet picture is the scene on the lake:

under the sun.

Countless black soldier flies intertwined together, forming a restless black group, moving slowly in the air.

They kept flapping their wings and making a slight buzzing sound, as if roaming freely in the air.

After a while.

This ball of black soldier flies burst into countless small balls in an instant, scattered in all directions, and then gathered again

If there is an ultra-clear camera at this time.

After zooming in, you will also find that there are sharp shoots growing in the soil on the ground-these are not buds of plants, but larvae of black soldier flies.

The above is the picture that appeared in front of everyone after Zhu Zi led the crowd to the scene.

Rao is a tough guy like Wang Ensheng who has seen blood on the battlefield, but his scalp is still a little numb after seeing this scene.

"."

after awhile.

Wang Ensheng turned his head to look at the pillar, and asked him:

"Pillar, how long have these flatworms been around?"

Zhu Zi thought for a moment and replied:

"It's been more than a year. I heard the report from the comrades below in March this year."

Wang Ensheng frowned:

"Then why don't you report to the organization?"

"What is this report?"

Zhu Zhu blinked blankly, and gestured a distance in the air with his hands:

"I wondered if this was just a nest for flies. The waterfall is not our source of drinking water, and it's tens of kilometers away from the commune."

"Even if this kind of thing is reported to the organization, it will not be taken seriously-we have too many things to do."

Wang Ensheng thought about it, yes.

After all, the shortage of supplies these days is no joke.

Although Bagui has high mountains and deep forests, so the budget for fire prevention is relatively higher, but it is obviously not wide enough to clean up the fly nests more than 30 kilometers away from the commune.

Unless this fly nest really affects the water source or the safety of the residents, the organization will at best send people to monitor it periodically.

While Zhu Zi was chatting with Wang Ensheng.

Chen Shutong walked over quickly from not far away:

"Captain Wang."

Seeing this, Wang Ensheng straightened his expression immediately, and asked Chen Shutong:

"Professor Chen, how is the situation?"

"The reason for the gathering of black soldier flies has been roughly clarified."

Chen Shutong picked up a small plastic bag from his hand, which contained a mass of black rakes:

"Although this waterfall is not our drinking water source, the water quality is very good, and it should be a drinking point for all the surrounding wildlife - as evidenced by the large number of footprints we found around."

"When there are more drinking water points, there will be more animal manure. Birds, rabbits, wild boars, roe deer, and even tigers and bears can produce a huge amount of manure every day."

"The black soldier fly can just decompose feces for food, and the decomposed feces enter the soil, which improves the soil quality."

"Improved soil quality will lead to a variety of wildflowers and weeds to thrive - we found a lot of alfalfa grass nearby, which is a staple food for herbivores."

"These weeds, in turn, increase their attractiveness to herbivores, so it's a pretty perfect ecological cycle."

Wang Ensheng couldn't help but startled.

Good guy.

Can it still be like this?

but think about it

It's normal.

To know.

The mountains and forests in this period are rich in species, unlike the later generations where it is difficult to see even a snake in the mountains and forests.

Especially in places like Shiwan Dashan.

At present, there are a large number of clouded leopards, leopards, forest musk deer and wild boars in the Shiwanda Mountains. Winter hunting this year even bears!

Although the Nuwa legend of Sandieling Waterfall is old-fashioned, it can be seen that this kind of scene is not seen everywhere—at least within a few hundred miles.

Therefore, it is not outrageous that a large number of wild animals choose this place as a drinking water point.

And when there are more animals, there will be more manure.

The feces also attracted the Black Soldier Fly to the vicinity of the waterfall, and now it has developed for an unknown number of years, and finally formed such a huge colony.

In a sense.

This community is even an important part of the ecological chain around the waterfall!

Think here.

Wang Ensheng couldn't help looking at Chen Shutong again, and asked him:

"Professor Chen, Bianmu...ah no, has the black soldier fly catching work started yet?"

Chen Shutong nodded vigorously, pointed to a few entourage not far away who were dressed like beekeepers and said:

"Xiao Wang and the others are already catching—according to organizational requirements, this time the catching should be mainly larvae."

"After all, the survival time of an adult black soldier fly is very short, even if caught, it won't last long."

"in addition."

Speaking of which.

Chen Shutong took out another small bag from his body, and said to Wang Ensheng:

"I found this in a bush."

Seeing this, Wang Ensheng poked his head out of curiosity for a few glances, and a hint of astonishment appeared on his expression:

"This is... wild rice? But why does it look like this?"
