Chapter 198 Agricultural Drones
Mo Ye went to the palace to report the matter of the spotted moth to Emperor Dongli. As agreed, he only said that the medicine was a prescription left by the ghost doctor. He also obtained an imperial edict that, in order to avoid harming the people, no one other than the people in the cities under his jurisdiction should go out at night.
Yang Jianwu and Puyang Xuan went to a storeroom on Huashuiyuefang Street to prepare medicine.
Yang Jianwu retrieved the potion from her spatial storage, and Puyang Xuan helped her put it aside. They needed to keep a lot in the Huashuiyuefang storeroom for emergencies.
"Sword Dance, according to Nangong Yan's escape route, from the capital to the border, there are at least ten cities. Can one city be wiped out in one night? And how can the medicine be evenly distributed?"
Yang Jianwu's hands continued moving, but he nodded knowingly, "Ah Xuan is really smart!"
"Hehe~ I'm serious."
"I'm serious. Look, even Brother Ye didn't think of that, but you did. That shows you're really smart, awesome!"
"You must have thought of that already! Don't you have a solution?!"
Yang Jianwu stretched out her hands in front of Puyang Xuan, "See? They're empty!"
"Ok!"
Puyang Xuan didn't understand what Yang Jianwu was going to do, so he obediently did as she said and watched quietly from the side.
The agricultural drone was quite large and bulky. Pu Yangxuan felt a blur before his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw this huge thing falling from the sky... His mind was filled with questions: Where am I?! Am I seeing things?! What is that?! How did it get here?!
"Sword Dance... what the hell is this?"
"It's called a drone, and it's a real gem! It can spray an area of about 100 acres in half an hour."
"real or fake?!"
I knew no one would believe me, so I didn't bother to explain.
"You'll believe it when the time comes, but I need to teach you and Brother Ye how to use it first."
Puyang Xuan, his face filled with disbelief, replied blankly, "Okay..."
With Emperor Dongli's permission, Mo Ye left the palace and headed straight for Huashuiyuefang. He looked rather bewildered when he saw the drone...
"Little Wu'er...it can spray medicine?!"
“Yes! It’s not convenient to demonstrate here. We’ll deal with the hibiscus moths in the capital tonight, and then teach you two how to use it tomorrow in a less crowded area in the suburbs! Xiaobai can carry a bucket of pesticide on his back, and with the help of the drone, we can deal with the city quickly! Besides, Nangong Yan couldn’t possibly have circled around a city when he fled, and the hibiscus moths have a limited flight range. As long as we let Xiaobai follow the scent to find the main distribution line, we can intervene in time and control the spread of the moths quickly.”
Mo Ye felt a mix of emotions after hearing this, a mixture of pride and shame...
Xiao Wu'er always helps solve problems. If it weren't for her, could Dong Li really withstand the treacherous attacks from Nan Yue?
This is the "Phoenix Star" that Master Konghui spoke of!
He can save a nation from peril and fight disasters single-handedly!
Little Wu'er, how fortunate I am to know you!
That night, Mo Ye was in charge of the curfew in the capital. With the imperial decree of Emperor Dongli, everyone cooperated very well.
Yang Jianwu rode Xiaobai to spray medicine in the air late at night. At this time, most people were already asleep, and the people on patrol were his own people.
If Xiaobai flies a little higher, it will be difficult for people to notice its existence. Even if one or two people occasionally see it, its fleeting figure makes it hard to find out what it is.
Song Yin had previously seen Yang Jianwu operate a drone to record the map of Dongli, so she had some understanding of drones. She was temporarily recruited to operate the agricultural drone.
Looking at the drone, which was several times larger than the previous one, Song Yin felt a headache coming on. "Miss, are you sure you want me to control it? What if I lose control..."
Yang Jianwu patted Song Yin on the shoulder, "Relax, I believe in you. At worst, you'll just break something..."
The space medical points are enough for her to use for a while. Relying on Xiaobai, an eagle, to complete the mission is too hard. At night, she has to carry people and medicines, flying all night long. During the day, she needs to rest properly and then rush to the next city before dark. Doing this for more than ten days in a row will definitely be unbearable.
Agricultural drones are also very efficient and can help beginners with a small portion of the work. As long as they study hard, those two smart kids can quickly master the flying skills.
Drones make noise when they are working, so Songyin is responsible for the area around the capital.
The two, master and servant for many years, worked together seamlessly, one inside and one outside. This was the first time Mo Ye had ever seen a drone spraying pesticide. Visibility was poor at night, but according to Hong Feng and Hong Yun's reports from their reconnaissance mission, the drones had sprayed the area around the capital in less than an hour! Moreover, the spraying was even, the coverage was wide, and the speed was extremely fast…
Songyin stood on the city wall... she never left... relying solely on observation and manipulation of the square object in her hand, she sprayed the entire capital city all by herself!
While marveling at the efficiency of the drones, Mo Ye wondered if using them for routine crop watering could greatly reduce the need for manpower.
Once this idea came to mind, and after carefully calculating the manpower required for the project, I was shocked! One drone is equivalent to the labor of at least thirty people! It's incredible!
Every year during the planting and harvesting seasons, the army would give the soldiers a few days of rest to go home and farm. This period was also the time when fighting was most likely to break out.
