Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 58 58. Crazy Invasive Species (1)

As if in the blink of an eye, the scene in front of him changed.

Tang Qinqin looked around, surrounded by paddy fields, in which the newly transplanted green rice seedlings were neatly arranged, which looked particularly pleasing to the eye.

In the middle of the huge paddy field stood a decent-looking scarecrow, wearing loose clothes and a straw hat.

It was a scene that Tang Qinqin had only seen on the Internet and in books.

The air here is fresh, but the temperature is a bit high. After standing in the open air for a while, Tang Qinqin felt hot and dry, so he hurried away to find a shade under a tree.

"Xiao Qi, what are the invasive species here?" Tang Qinqin asked while fanning the wind with his hand.

"Qinqin, look behind you."

After hearing this, Tang Qinqin turned around to check.

There is a pond next to this tree. The pond is not deep, and you can clearly see the silt and stones accumulated at the bottom of the pond.

The green plants around the pond, on the field ridges, and on the stones are dotted with many girlish-looking pink objects.

"Oh my God!" After Tang Qinqin realized what it was, he was so nervous that he got goosebumps all over his body.

After supplementing with relevant knowledge, she knew that this pink and tender thing was actually quite disgusting. It was a golden apple snail listed as one of the "most harmful alien species" by the environmental protection department!

But seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn't help but be a little shocked.

Thinking about the rumored "intensive phobia", Tang Qinqin rubbed his exposed arms, felt a chill, and felt that he had also experienced the feeling of this symptom.

Taking a closer look, there were so many bright pink lumps of eggs that it made one's scalp tingle. Tang Qinqin subconsciously took a step back, thinking that he would never love pink again.

Tang Qinqin: Sure enough, the more beautiful one is, the more dangerous it is. With such a girly color, my heart didn’t move, but my goosebumps and hairs moved!

Putting on the rubber gloves left over from the last game, he picked up a branch that was as thick as a finger and as long as a forearm from the ground, after thinking about it, he took out the mask again.

After arming himself, Tang Qinqin took the courage to poke him.

Grass stalks are flexible and easily bent under stress, making it inconvenient to crush egg masses.

Tang Qinqin took out a disposable plastic bowl from his backpack and used it to scrape off the snail eggs.

While poking vigorously, I heard familiar voices and footsteps.

Tang Qinqin turned around and saw his little sister and Song Yuanze whom he had found.

After a lively exchange of greetings, the three of them learned how to arm themselves. Song Yuanze came over and took away the lunch box full of apple snail eggs very consciously, and carried out "harmless elimination" - ruthless human crushing.

Lan Lan and Tang Qinqin had exactly the same expression when they first arrived. They were so nervous that they stood by the pond with their arms folded.

The look on Mengru's face was still cold. She picked a branch that came to hand and went to the pond to dry it.

After the three of them were busy for a while, Song Yuanze's brothers and other players gradually arrived.

The small pond was activated by the players in the "encirclement and suppression" mode, and some people began to salvage the snails in the water.

After Tang Qinqin repeatedly emphasized and confirmed it, all the players tried their best to keep their eyes peeled and promised again and again that they would not catch the snail by mistake.

"The best way to identify apple snails is crisp, yellow, flat, and big. Its snail meat is light in color. The buttocks of our native snails are longer and sharper, like a pagoda. The snail meat is greenish brown. Not sure Just ask each other, we are not happy, we would rather kill by mistake than let go, remember, wrongly caught will be punished!"

"Do you think there is a better way to deal with them?" Tang Qinqin's arm was sore from poking, he stopped for a while, and asked the people who walked beside him.

"I don't have any good ideas at the moment, except crushing them with force." Lan Lan said, handing the lunch box filled with snail eggs to other players to take away.

"It is very harmful to agriculture. The prevention and control measures are agricultural control, biological control and chemical control. However, its reproductive capacity and vitality are very strong, and it is far from achieving the goal of eradicating them." Laojiu, not far away, replied road.

"Oh, it's a pity that such a big thing can't be eaten. Otherwise, it would be such a headache. If all the food is eaten, how could there be a chance to let it spread and cause a disaster?"

Lao Tian shook his head sadly.

"Hey, don't be greedy. There are thousands of parasites in one of them. Even high-temperature cooking may not kill them. If you really eat them, you'll be sick to death if you don't get harmed by them."

Laojiu said, fearing that his gluttonous brothers wouldn't believe it, so he stepped forward to give an example: "Do you still remember the news we saw? It was about eating apple snails and infecting more than 100 people. The headaches and nausea were mild, and the parasite Drilling into the brain and destroying the central nervous system, can that person still recover?"

"Don't, don't mention this, I have goosebumps." Lao Tian jumped up, "Who wants to eat it, I don't like this stuff, the meat is not enough to fit between the teeth."

Tang Qinqin and others couldn't help but laugh out loud when they watched the interaction between the two.

Indeed, this snail looks quite big and has a lot of meat, which can easily tempt foodies, but the parasites and germs it carries in its body are extremely dangerous.

There have been many cases of eating apple snails infected and hospitalized, and there are even unscrupulous merchants using it to serve counterfeit snails on the table to deceive consumers.

It "eats as soon as it is green" and has a wide range of food habits. It not only eats algae, but also harms crops such as rice, destroys the ecological environment, squeezes, and deprives the living space of local species.

It has strong reproductive ability and strong vitality. Wherever it goes, it is like locusts crossing the border. The excrement pollutes the water quality. The shell is thin and fragile, and it is easy to hurt the hands and feet of farmers.

It is one of the most hated species by farmers.

How can you not hate it? It harms crops, damages the ecological environment, and bullies local species. You can't eat it to satisfy your hatred.

Very frustrated.

The crayfish next door: I’m crying out of jealousy.Ying Ying Ying.

"There is no other way but to work overtime." Tang Qinqin carefully avoided the blades of grass that had just been cleaned, for fear of being contaminated with strange things.

With the efforts of all the players, the pond was turned upside down. Even the mud and other places at the bottom of the pond were cleaned up and turned ashore to dry.

The surrounding rice fields were also carefully checked by the players, for fear of damaging the rice seedlings or missing the "target".

Apple snails have the habit of hibernating, just in case there are still fish that slip through the net while sleeping.

Then contact the local person in charge to take over.

After a series of treatment measures such as water purification and sludge disinfection, the pond and land can be reused.

"Can these snail eggs be used as feed?"

In many places, ducks are used for biological control, and the waste may be reused.

Be as cruel to your enemies as the harsh winter.

Firmly drain the apple snails.

"The eggs of apple snails may also carry parasites. I think if ducks eat apple snails or their eggs directly, will they also be infected with parasites?"

Tang Qinqin asked from his soul.

"It is said that the snails are usually caught, cooked or dried before being fed to ducks. It is said on the Internet that ducks eat snails not because they are not afraid of infection, but because ducks do not care about its taste."

Changfeng pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, "But this is very troublesome. Not many people should be able to do it."

"If there is a set of high-temperature equipment, can these apple snails be sterilized at high temperature for a long time, will it solve the problem?"

"That needs to be tested. The processed snail meat has indeed killed the parasites. I think there is nothing wrong with it. But I still have no appetite for it."

Mengru looked at Tang Qinqin and replied.

"Ah, I don't have any appetite, but can't this be used as feed?" Tang Qinqin waved his hands repeatedly. Whoever wants to eat it will have a psychological shadow, sisters.

But after all, it is high in protein, so small animals will like it very much if it turns waste into treasure.

"The final question is where to install such a set of equipment? If apple snails are so rampant, at least one factory is needed. One set of equipment is not enough."

After listening to Lan Lan's words, Tang Qinqin was also worried.

"Qinqin, I have a way, you can get what you want." Xiao Qi said at this time, "It depends on what you do."

"Huh? What can I do?" Subconsciously, Tang Qinqin clutched her backpack tightly, thinking that this must be a way to cause her pain.

　Thank you Kongchen. for your recommendation vote~(ˊωˋ*)
