There was nothing on him, just a piece of cloth, already stained with sweat.

In fact, later generations often compared Zaozhuan with another person, that is Mi Heng, who beat the drum and scolded Cao.

Zao Zhuan is not good at fighting, and his martial arts skills are mediocre, so he cannot charge into battle.

But whether it was the attack on Yuan Shu this time or the later Guandu, he was the one who delivered the grain and grass again and again, relieving Cao Cao's crisis.

After Cao Cao took control of Luoyang, he took the lead in stabilizing the millions of refugees in Chen Luoxu.

None of these people starved to death.

Cao Cao commented on him in one sentence: "Everyone can refuse to listen to Parrot Fu, but who dares to say that he does not want to eat?"

Mi Heng is the author of Parrot Fu. Compared with him, Zao Zhuan, who does not look like a scholar, seems to be more down-to-earth.

The two sat down to talk, and soon the topic turned to the recent locust incident.

Zao Zhuan is also worried.

He was good at farming, so how could he not know the hidden dangers of such a locust plague?

"Mr. Guo, you are absolutely right, but I really can't help it. The roots of these locusts are not here, but in the land of Yuan Shu. No matter how great I am, I can't manage people across such a vast place. of locusts.”

"Yuan Shu, this bastard, doesn't care about the life or death of the people, and the people under him don't care about the locust plague. Do you see how far the locusts have come by the time they arrive here?"

"Then have you thought of a way?"

"I have thought about it, but I really have no choice. Now the people given to me by Ming Gong are 800,000, which sounds like a lot, but the place I have to protect is really too big! One person needs three acres of land. There’s no way to protect it.”

The key is not how to catch locusts, but how to catch them without damaging the crops.

Because locusts are specially designed to eat crops, and they will run and crawl all over the ground.

If you reach out to grab it, the locust may not catch it, but grab two leaves and come down.

This is a fatal blow to those precious crops.

Guo Ming thought for a long time, and suddenly something came to his mind.

If what he wants to fight is not locusts but pests, this matter will be much easier to say.

What Guo Ming was thinking of was the magic tool for killing mosquitoes, the electric mosquito swatter!

This thing itself discharges electricity cracklingly, and it seems that larger insects can also be electrocuted to death. At least if it becomes a high-voltage electric mosquito swatter, it should be able to stick locusts to the electric mosquito swatter.

As long as a person takes an electric mosquito swatter and clicks it gently in the ground, the plants will not be hurt, only the insects will stick to them.

Then, pile up all the injured bugs, make a long strip, light it on fire, and make a protective belt.

After these bugs "smell" the corpses of the same kind, they should not appear.

Anyway, it's just those fields that Zaozhuan wants to protect.

The problem is how to calculate this point.

There are no tasks this time, which means there are no rewards.

"It seems like we have to lose a lot of money this time." Guo Ming tugged at the system and looked at Xiao Ai with his chin.

Xiao Ai spun around in a circle and looked at Guo Ming, smiling foolishly.

"Who said there are no points?" Xiao Ai asked back.

"How?" Guo Ming looked at her and asked.

"Let me check. The high-voltage electric mosquito swatter will reward you with one point if you kill one hundred locusts."

Just now, Guo Ming felt that the overwhelming locusts were annoying enough, but now he feels that these things are a bit cute.

As long as the points can be increased, everything will be fine.

Guo Ming quickly exchanged a few electric mosquito swatters from the system.

Seeing that he was holding this thing in his hand, Zao Zhuan couldn't understand it.

"Mr. Guo, is this thing used to fight locusts?"

"Actually, this thing is standardly used to swat flies and mosquitoes. You see how it is used."

Something that can kill flies and mosquitoes can naturally be used to kill locusts.

Guo Ming took the electric mosquito swatter and pulled Zao Zhu directly to the field.

He didn't move much but focused on the discharge building, and then swung it around twice.

He heard a crackling sound, and many locusts hit his electric mosquito swatter.

But it didn't take long to collect more than a hundred!

Guo Ming has one more point.

Seeing all these bugs falling to the ground and kicking their legs after coming into contact with the electric mosquito swatter, Zao Zhuan was so happy that she clapped her hands.

"Great! Pile these bugs in a straw basket and burn them all. The locusts will probably know that this place is a restricted area."

Zao Zhuan couldn't help being happy.

It was as if he had acquired a magical weapon.

This thing can not only be used to kill locusts, but also other pests and the like, all can be extinguished with this thing.

The biggest fear when growing food is these pests and the like.

As long as you see it and press it with a swatter, you can kill the bug by lying down for a while.

It’s simply an artifact!

Zao Zhuanxin happily thought it was good, but there was a problem when it came to Guo Ming.

There is no generator in this place.

If you are selling goods, the matter is very simple. Anyone who wants to charge can just go to him.

Electric mosquito swatters can be given to you for free, but charging them costs money.

There is nothing here in Zaozhuan. Just getting some electric mosquito swatters will not completely eliminate the locusts.

I still have to go back to the system to see what is there.

"Xiao Ai, how do you charge the electric mosquito swatter?"

"Don't you know this? Use a power strip." Xiao Ai reached out and grabbed it, and a picture of a power strip appeared in front of Guo Ming.

"Without a generator, what's the use of me holding a power strip?"

Guo Ming didn't know this yet, but it was too difficult to get an alternator.

Let’s not talk about how many points are needed to redeem such a big thing in the system.

But the problem here is that the entire power system must be exchanged.

This is an extremely difficult problem. Guo Ming must help Zao Zhuan solve this problem.

"Xiao Ai, we don't need the entire power system in the wild. Is there any way?"

"Master, can you take a look at this?"

Xiao Ai gently lowered his hand, and a picture of a hand-operated generator appeared.

Guo Ming knew that he was going to make a big deal this time, a big deal for the system.

There’s also a hand-cranked generator and a high-voltage electric mosquito swatter that can be turned into an endless supply of points-making machines.

The more Kuo Ming provides equals more output.

This time, Guo Ming decided to make a big move and turned almost all of his points into these two things.

Zaozhuan has 100,000 people to do this job, and no number of generators is too many.

One hundred thousand people each have an electric mosquito swatter, so no amount is too much.

The 100,000 people were divided into several groups and stood in front, which was a human wall.

Just enough to stop the endless stream of locusts.
