Beidu City, Giant Insect Control Center Conference Room.
While Ye Han was checking information about giant insects, government commissioners, military representatives and biological experts from all over the country gathered together, filling the small conference room.
Professor Qin sat in an inconspicuous corner, minding his own thoughts.
The host glanced at his watch. The hour hand was about to point to the start time of the meeting, but there was still one person who had not arrived. He couldn't help but hesitate to postpone the meeting.
At this moment, the conference room door opened from the outside, and the last participant walked into the venue.
The host breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "Quiet, the meeting is about to begin!"
The noisy sounds gradually disappeared, and the eyes of dozens of participants fell on the host.
"Let's start the meeting now. First of all, please ask Director Xu to brief you on the situation." The host said nothing nonsense and went directly to the topic of the meeting in a very pragmatic manner.
Xu Jiaye, who was sitting on the main seat, habitually wiped the poor Mediterranean Sea, and a trace of solemnity flashed across his fat face: "Everyone, according to satellite monitoring and data obtained from various sources, there is a huge locust disaster in southeastern Siberia.
As of one hour ago, the affected area had reached 170,000 square kilometers, equivalent to 1.5 Daxing'an Mountains."
The conference room exploded with a bang, and the participants started discussing with the people around them.
"Silence, silence!" the host shouted several times before quelling the discussion.
Xu Jiaye said seriously: "Time is pressing, everyone here please control your emotions and do not affect the progress of the meeting!"
Although the words were polite, the attitude behind them was very clear, and everyone immediately shut their mouths tightly.
Xu Jiaye looked around for a week and continued: "We have received reliable news that the locust swarm split earlier. One of the three main swarms moved eastward to Vladivostok; the second Yu went deep into the primeval forest of Dimberlia; the third and most important
One branch is heading south and approaching our border!"
Everyone was shocked by the news, and a voice suddenly asked: "How big is the insect swarm?"
"Tens of thousands, the exact number is unknown," Xu Jiaye said.
"What's the speed of spread? How long do we have?" the military representative said in a loud voice.
"It will arrive at our border in about four to six days." Xu Jiaye replied, "Everyone here is an expert. The harm caused by giant locusts does not require my team to do anything. Please discuss it as soon as possible and come up with feasible plans to deal with the crisis!"
As we all know, locusts are herbivorous insects. Wherever the locust swarms pass, they leave no grass behind, directly causing a large-scale reduction in grain production or even annihilation.
If the carnivorous giant ants are a threat to human life and safety, then the giant locusts are simply cutting off the very basis of human existence.
An expert pushed up his glasses: "Can we take the initiative and eliminate the giant locusts before they cross the border?"
The military was expressionless: "It's impossible. It involves national sovereignty. It's absolutely impossible for Lao Maozi to agree to our troops crossing the border."
"What if it's military cooperation?" Xu Jiaye explained immediately as soon as he spoke, "What I mean is, can we follow the joint anti-terrorism model and conduct a joint extermination of pests?"
"It's very difficult." The military representative shook his head, "Maozi is a vast area with few people and natural conditions for the development of giant insects. The outbreak of insect pests is much more serious than that in China. It is very difficult for that small army to defend the city and there is no way for it to be mobilized.
Use the extra energy to deal with the wild insect swarms."
"If it works, you have to give it a try, right?" Xu Jiaye said without giving up.
The military representative pursed his lips and glanced at Xu Jiaye: "Okay, I will report my opinions to my superiors, but this matter falls within the scope of diplomacy. It is difficult to say whether it will work or not... Also, as far as I know, Mao Zi is very likely to use nuclear bombs."
Deal with the giant bug!"
"If the relationship is good, let them use nuclear bombs to kill the giant locusts." An expert said.
The military representative curled his lips and said nothing. Xu Jiaye said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, it has nothing to do with us whether Mao Zi uses nuclear bombs or not! If anyone messes up the building again, don't say I'm rude!"
There was a moment of silence in the conference room. The military representative thought for a while and said: "What our military can do now is to send more troops to the border to guard it. Once the giant locust crosses the border, it will hit it hard as soon as possible. For this... no matter the cost."
Xu Jiaye nodded: "I believe in the determination of the military. Although I don't know much about insects, can we start from the habits and physiological characteristics of locusts and find an effective way to curb locusts and even further curb other giant insects?
Rather than every time there is a locust plague, the first thing that comes to mind is the army!"
Xu Jiaye sighed: "To tell you the truth, giant bugs are really not a good thing. Since the Jinghu Lake incident, giant bug incidents have occurred all over the country. Although the damage caused by a single giant bug incident is not serious, the damage caused by a single giant bug incident across the country is
Taken together, the giant insect incidents have seriously affected production and life in various places."
"It is no exaggeration to say that this year's economic decline is a foregone conclusion. The only difference is how much the decline is. The economic foundation determines the superstructure. If the giant insects are all dealt with by the military, this year's military spending will have to increase at least several times.
Coupled with the resettlement of disaster victims and the reduction of food production... I don't know much about economics, but I know that only after decades of national development can the people of the country live and work in peace and contentment. If the current situation continues to develop, the economy in decades will be
The construction achievements are very likely to be destroyed in one moment...The situation is serious, my comrades!"
Having said this, Xu Jiaye took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke. His fat face was immediately shrouded in smoke: "This is a war, a battle between humans and giant insects.
War, endless war!"
There was an awkward silence in the conference room again. The experts in the meeting racked their brains, but they couldn't come up with a suitable solution for a while.
Professor Qin in the corner suddenly raised his head: "Can we change our thinking? Why not treat insects with insects?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Professor Qin, and Xu Jiaye immediately asked: "What kind of treatment method?"
Professor Qin smiled and said, "Everyone knows that I stayed in Jingjiang for a while. I once saw the arrogant giant mantis fleeing in front of the ant colony."
Xu Jiaye stood up excitedly: "You mean, use giant ants to deal with giant locusts?"
Professor Qin nodded: "I just thought about it casually. Whether it can be done or not will be discussed by everyone."
"Theoretically it is indeed feasible!" an authoritative expert commented, "Jingjiang ants are carnivorous insects, but they are the natural enemies of all animals! The natural resources in the area occupied by the ants are limited and cannot maintain the current size of the ant colony. Maintaining the ants
Swarms need a lot of food, and apart from humans, locust swarms that are also growing explosively are the best food source."
