In the end, just like introducing foxes to deal with rabbits before, Australians introduced cactus moths from Argentina in 1925 and let them eat cacti. The result was surprisingly effective: by 1933, the area covered by cacti in Australia had decreased by 90%, and the ecological environment gradually recovered.
Moreover, cactus moths only eat cacti and have no other hosts in Australia, so they will not cause a new ecological crisis.
In this way, after being defeated miserably by rabbits, foxes, wild cats, mice, camels and emus, the Australians finally defeated the cactus after 30 years, finally washing away their previous embarrassing record of "zero winning rate" and proving that they are at least slightly more capable than plants.
Speaking of which, Australians are also quite pitiful. Their ancestors had finally escaped from the "sheep-eating-people" native land of Britain and came to this new world in the southern hemisphere. They thought they could get a happy and prosperous new home and live a good life like American farmers.
As a result, Australia's land is incredibly barren, like an oversized sand pit. Due to the El Niño phenomenon, rainfall is also extremely erratic, with droughts and floods constantly causing severe ecological crises that ordinary people can't even imagine.
Just imagine, those Australian soldiers who fought bloody battles with the Japanese devils in the Pacific battlefield and fought on the Kokoda Trail, returned home triumphantly after defeating the Japanese soldiers, but were defeated by rabbits, camels and wild cats on their own farms... What a desperate and ridiculous scene it would be?
Then, based on the current record, Australians' level of response to invasive species is only limited to dealing with plants like cacti.
Yet, faced with such dismal results, the current Australian government is confidently introducing the otherworldly psychic creature "Furu" and promoting its large-scale breeding program as a new economic growth driver and a flagship Australian product! This is despite the fact that previously introduced foxes, camels, rabbits, feral cats, and other species are still rampant and wreaking havoc. Meanwhile, the sea urchin infestation on the Great Barrier Reef is poised to erupt.
Anyway, whenever he thought about Australia actually trying to profit from breeding psychic jellyfish, Fili's mind immediately flashed back to a series of mind-blowing, insane videos he'd seen on Bilibili before his time travel, such as "Alien Breeding: The Road to Wealth in Blackwater Village," "Construction of the Godzilla Farm in Hokkaido Has Begun," and "The Road to Wealth: New Directions in Alien Breeding, Technology Helps Create Brilliance."
So, Firi really wants to ask: Australians, why are you so brave?
You can't even handle cats and rabbits, so how can you be confident that you can handle a completely unfamiliar intelligent life form from another world like "Furu"?
However, his wife, Marita, a German woman, was remarkably unfazed by this, even taking it for granted. "My dear, aren't most of the politicians in English-speaking countries founded by you Anglo-Saxons like this? They're all so ordinary, yet so confident and arrogant. The Monroe Doctrine and 'Manifest Destiny' proposed when the United States was first founded, and President Wilson's grand plan to reorder the world after World War I—each one of them wasn't utterly arrogant? And yet you all think it's normal..."
Marita said this as she lazily slumped on the sofa, enjoying the slave girl's shoulder massage and shaking her plump breasts.
"Ah, I'm not Anglo-Saxon, my family is Irish."
Fili stroked his chin and said, "However, you are absolutely right. The Anglo-Saxons are indeed arrogant and self-confident in this way."
It should be no more than 80. The number of Sumerians who could use cuneiform writing was, at most, only 6000, and perhaps as few as 3000. This is roughly equivalent to the number of students in a modern school. It's no wonder that despite the long history of Sumerian civilization, the cultural artifacts left behind are relatively scarce.
To be honest, the number of Sumerians who could read and write cuneiform at that time might not have been as large as the number of experts from various countries who understand cuneiform today.
