Chapter 277 Migratory Birds
Squatting in the newly dug soil pit, more than two meters deep, the visual evolutionist Xia Qing finally discovered the evolutionary thorn moth pupae hidden in the crack of the rock, verifying Li Si''s speech last night.
No wonder I was unable to burn the pupa to death when I burned the mountains and cleared the evolution forest last year. It turned out that the pupa was hidden in such a deep place.
The thornworm has not evolved into iron teeth and feet, and it drilled down through the gap between grass roots and soil.
Damn, can Blue Star evolve even more crazy? !
Fortunately, researchers in Zhang San''s territory have developed soil insecticides specifically targeting the characteristics of this land. Even if the pupa of this evolutionary thorn moth turns into a moth, it will be destroyed if it drills upwards into the soil layer with insecticides.
Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief and climbed from the pit to the ground. He heard Hu Zifeng use the Lord Channel to issue an announcement, "Dear Lords, starting today, Mountain No. 49 will enter the bird hunting period. If you hear guns and cannons on the mountain, please don''t panic. Territory No. 1 promises that bird hunting activities will never affect the territory."
The population of the evolved Blue Star has dropped sharply by more than 90%, but the number of wild animals has increased by hundreds of times, and migratory birds are flooding.
A large number of migratory birds fly over this territory, which not only brings risks to the humans here, but also brings rewards.
Beasts and raptors need to prey on migratory birds and accumulate fat for the winter. Humans also use this annual feast to hunt large quantities of migratory birds, beasts and birds of prey to fill in material reserves.
Therefore, most of the combat power of the army and the team will enter the area of ??the evolution forest with swamps and lakes during this period, and hunt for several consecutive days.
There is a large swamp in the north of Mountain No. 49. The Qinglong team does not have to compete with other teams for the hunting area, so of course they will make good use of it.
Tang Huai, who has always been facing the No. 1 territory, actually asked politely, "Captain Hu, can people from our territory participate in your training camp? I bring my own equipment and pay the captive fee."
"No." Hu Zifeng clearly refused, "The training and hunting activities during the migratory bird season are very dangerous and non-Qinglong team members are not allowed to participate."
Tang Huai immediately turned his back and warned viciously, "If you quarrel so hard that I can''t rest, I will definitely complain!"
Migratory birds usually travel at night and land to rest during the day, so Qinglong fights and hunts during the day, which is impossible to affect Tang Huai''s sleep.
Hu Zifeng was too lazy to deal with the lunatics of the Tang family, and the lords continued to talk about how to deal with the half-month migratory season.
Kuang Qingwei asked, "How do you plan to prevent birds?"
Before the Blue Star disaster, birds could be divided into three types according to their diet: carnivorous, plant-based, and omnivorous. Among them, carnivorous can be divided into four subcategories: insect-eating birds, fish-eating birds, scavenging birds and carnivorous birds.
After the natural disaster began and the biological evolution was largely evolved, birds also evolved, and the previous classification is no longer applicable.
Except for several species of raptors standing at the top of the bird''s food chain, other birds have almost all become omnivorous after evolution. Simply put: when food is sufficient, they pick what they like to eat, and when food is short or too hungry, they eat everything.
Corn, mung beans, vegetables, and even humans in the territory are food for hungry migratory birds. Once these migratory birds land and rest, they will soon be hungry carnivorous birds of prey.
The greenhouses in the territory are all made of bamboo as the main material, and they cannot resist the sharp claws of the raptors. Therefore, during the migratory bird season, the main task of the lords is not to hunt birds, but to prevent migratory birds from landing in the territory, especially by the farmland. Qi Fu replied, "Birds should be afraid of noise. We plan to knock on the iron basin to drive away immediately after we find that migratory birds are on the spot."
"This method is good, I''ll knock it too." Zhao Ze quickly remembered that the Qinglong team was going to concentrate on hunting. He could not hire Qinglong team members to help him guard the territory. He had to use all the means he could, just in case.
"Evolutionary birds are not necessarily afraid of the sound of knocking on the pot. I want to record some of the cry of eagles, cats, and wolfs. When the birds fly over, they will be played and scared away." Xia Qing also joined the discussion, but what she wanted to "play" was not the recording, but the real wolf version.
There are two wolves in her territory, so it’s useless.
"I''m prepared so too." Kuang Qingwei immediately followed, "I have prepared the recording speakers. The transmission distance of each tweeter is about 600-700 meters. As long as there are two speakers, it can definitely protect the farmland and houses in your territory. Do you need to buy or rent a speaker? Buy a 60 point and rent 10 points a day."
After saying that, Kuang Qingwei made two pieces of evolving eagle and cat cry, the sound was clear and it sounded very imposing, not easy to mess with.
Shili responded immediately, "I''ll buy one."
"I''ll do one too." Qi Fu followed, and Zhao Ze and Xia Qing also asked for one. The migratory period is fifteen days, and renting a horn requires 150 points, which is enough to buy two, so of course everyone chooses to buy it.
Then, Shi Hu started selling his own bird-repellent products, "I made a lot of kites for the evolution of Raptors, and the kites also brought small loudspeakers, which could fly more than 300 meters high. If everyone wants to buy them, they will get 23 points."
Kuang Qingwei immediately asked, "Brother Shi, are your kites still sold in the safe area?"
Shi Zhi replied with a smile, "Yes, when we were in the safe area, we relied on this to exchange for compressed rations. This year we also took a lot of time to do it, and asked Captain Zhong to take it back to the safe area to consign."
Evolution of Raptor Kites is a low-cost and effective method in the base''s bird-repellent method. Everyone immediately buys this three or five.
Xia Qing didn''t know how to do this. She asked Zhong Tao to buy ten pieces from the safe area a few days ago, each with 25 points.
Zhong Tao didn’t tell Xia Qing that there were kites in Territory No. 10, which is very normal. Because according to relevant regulations, the patrol team cannot disclose the transaction content of the lords without the permission of the lords.
The kite, trumpet, wolf, and the guns in the hands of Xia Qing and howitzers under the box, plus the super security guard Hu Zifeng team, even if there is a reservoir in Xia Qing''s territory, she is quite confident in driving away the migratory birds.
On September 25, with Tan Junjie''s announcement, this year''s migratory bird season began
"Please note, lords, please note that the first batch of migratory birds will pass over the territory in half an hour, and the raptors in the evolution forest in the north of the territory have begun to take off. Please be prepared."
Tan Junjie did not point out the specific species of migratory birds, so he must have not received any notice. Xia Qing asked Hu Zifeng, "Captain Hu, what kind of breed is the first batch of migratory birds? How many are there?"
After Hu Zifeng asked the 49th Mountain Top Observatory, he replied through the headset intercom, "About a thousand migratory birds evolved into sand gulls, with a flight altitude of 500 meters."
One thousand were too many, Xia Qing immediately ordered the two speed evolvers in the territory to let the evolutionary sea eagle kite fly, which is the natural enemy of the evolutionary sand gull.
