Chapter 184: Chapter 149: Biological Mosquito Repellent Methods
The flood lasted three full days and nights, and it was only after the final surge safely passed that the members of the Pet Beast Union, covered with mud, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The areas submerged by water were covered with large patches of yellow mud.
The Pet Beast Union deployed large Water Pet Beasts to thoroughly clean away the yellow mud.
After the flood, many things in the Cultivation House became unusable.
A major cleanup was needed.
After the flood, there was bound to be a major epidemic, and the Dark Night Mosquitoes began to breed.
Going out without proper protection would certainly result in exposed parts of the body getting bitten by the Dark Night Mosquitoes.
How to prevent the Dark Night Mosquitoes has become a difficult problem for the Cultivator Union, a subordinate of the Pet Beast Union.
At this time, Zhang Lingxue called Ye Bai over.
She was wearing a white dress with rabbit ears on her head.
Two Thunder Rabbits were helping Zhang Lingxue organize the materials.
"Ye Bai, the Cultivator Union has asked for help. After the flood, the Dark Night Mosquitoes are rampant, and we need to brainstorm solutions."
"I’m still organizing the information on Positive and Negative Rabbits, so could you go on my behalf?"
"As the honorary elder of Jiaying City’s Cultivator Union, since they have asked for help, please go on my behalf."
Zhang Lingxue has been organizing data through the night, with the time for the inspector’s doorstep assessment approaching, leaving Zhang Lingxue with little time.
However, the Cultivator Union’s matter is also urgent, so Zhang Lingxue could only let Ye Bai go instead of her.
The Cultivator Union, as a subordinate agency of the Pet Beast Union, is located near the Pet Beast Union.
There is a five-story building here.
The first floor is the office hall, and the second floor is the place for cultivating Pet Beasts.
The third to fifth floors are the workspaces for the members of the Cultivator Union.
At this time, the members of the Cultivator Union were crowded into the large conference room.
Liu Chenggong, the president of the Cultivator Union, and Wang Jinyin, the president of the Pet Beast Union, were sitting side by side.
"Everyone, the Dark Night Mosquitoes have been rampant recently, and we must effectively control their numbers."
"Does anyone have any good suggestions?"
Liu Chenggong, incredibly brilliant, had a huge red bump on his shiny bald head, clearly a bite from a Dark Night Mosquito.
From a distance, it looked like horns growing on his head.
Wang Jinyin thought of all the sad things to hold back his laughter.
"I think we can use physical methods to repel mosquitoes."
"Establishing a large mosquito-repelling device to reduce the number of Dark Night Mosquitoes."
Someone immediately made a suggestion.
Liu Chenggong glared at the person fiercely: "Do you think the Dark Night Mosquitoes are ordinary mosquitoes? They are incredibly cunning."
"Each Dark Night Mosquito is the size of a fist, imagine how large the mosquito-repelling device would have to be."
Liu Chenggong rejected this proposal, and then someone suggested chemical mosquito-repelling methods.
By spraying a scent that makes the Dark Night Mosquitoes nauseous on the body, you can achieve the purpose of chemical repelling.
Liu Chenggong thought for a moment and then shook his head: "No, Dark Night Mosquitoes are not ordinary mosquitoes, and if their number continues to proliferate,"
"it could lead to a mosquito disaster."
"Then the entire Jiaying City would be covered in a shadow of Dark Night Mosquitoes, leaving no room for life."
"It would also easily give rise to High Tier Dark Night Mosquitoes."
"We must come up with a method to completely eradicate the Dark Night Mosquitoes."
At this moment, Wang Jinyin noticed Ye Bai’s hesitant expression.
"Ye Bai, why don’t you share your thoughts?"
Everyone whispered upon seeing Wang Jinyin publicly point out Ye Bai.
"What can a young boy like him possibly understand?"
"Yeah, what path is he on anyway? A minor daring to attend our meeting."
"I remember we sent the invitations to respected breeders, how could a minor get one?"
Everyone had a gleeful look, not believing Ye Bai could say anything significant.
Ye Bai took the microphone, adjusted his voice slightly: "I personally believe we should use a dual approach."
"Utilizing both chemical and biological mosquito-repelling methods together."
"Chemical repelling can solve the individual’s issue of getting bitten by Dark Night Mosquitoes."
"And biological repelling can address the Dark Night Mosquito problem at its source."
Upon hearing Ye Bai’s words, Liu Chenggong instantly became interested: "Then how do you think biological repelling should be done?"
"We’ve tried Exotic Beasts like Poison Dart Frogs and Strong Frogs, but unfortunately, they don’t seem interested in Dark Night Mosquitoes."
Ye Bai shook his head: "They are not the best choice."
"The best choice should be dragonfly-type Exotic Beasts."
"They are the natural nemesis of Dark Night Mosquitoes."
"According to statistics, dragonflies can eat a thousand mosquitoes a day, and their larvae can eat three thousand mosquito larvae a day."
"We can completely tackle the Dark Night Mosquito problem through this approach."
But at this moment, Liu Chenggong posed another question: "Ye Bai, I’m very interested in biological mosquito repelling, but there’s one concern. If we introduce dragonfly Exotic Beasts to eliminate one pest, wouldn’t they, in turn, become a new invasive species once they proliferate?"
Ye Bai nodded: "I’ve considered this issue as well."
"We can tackle it from two aspects: first by selecting dragonfly Exotic Beasts with poor reproductive abilities but can eat Dark Night Mosquitoes, and second by opting for large-sized dragonfly Exotic Beasts."
"Unlike Dark Night Mosquitoes, dragonfly Exotic Beasts are large, making them relatively easy to capture."
