Another expert said excitedly: "If the giant ants can be led to the border, the giant ants are likely to move north collectively because they find a lot of food. It is optimistic to speculate that they may even all move out of our country." One expert said whimsically.
explain.
Xu Jiaye's eyes lit up: "Is this possible?"
"Yes, but it's very small." The expert admitted honestly.
Xu Jiaye was immediately discouraged: "I don't want to listen to your nonsense. How can we lead the ant colony to the border? We can't wait for the giant locusts to cross the border, right?"
An expert said calmly and calmly: "When it comes to eliminating giant ants, I really can't think of any way, but it is not impossible to command giant ants."
"Oh? How to do it?" Xu Jiaye asked immediately.
"Pheromones mislead the senses of giant ants through pheromones, attracting giant ants to act according to our instructions." Experts said.
"I object!" Another voice suddenly appeared in the conference room, "The Jingjiang ant colony is now very powerful, and it is indeed possible to eliminate the locust swarm, but have you ever thought about it, the ant colony has sufficient food, and the population size
It will develop like army ants. Who do you need me to say about the situation in Africa? If the Jingjiang ant population gets out of control, how will we deal with the growing ant colony?"
"We have no way to deal with the ant colony in the first place. Since we don't have the means to eliminate the giant ants, we might as well send the ant colony out of the border and give the old man a headache."
The two different views divided the participants into two groups, with everyone talking back and forth, each holding his own opinion to defend his own point of view, and the fierce quarrel immediately broke out in the conference room.
Xu Jiaye listened to the bickering between the two groups with a smile and had no intention of interrupting at all.
The dispute between the two parties is a healthy competition. As the saying goes, the reason is unclear. When the argument reaches the end, the solution will almost come out.
An opposing expert took a clear stand: "Pheromones can indeed attract giant ants, but can you guarantee that all giant ants are attracted by the pheromones? Putting too much pheromones will only keep the pheromones in the same position for a long time.
It works, but too little is put in, and it doesn’t attract many giant ants. How to solve this problem?”
"Experiment, of course it is an experiment! We must first extract the pheromones of the ants, and then use the experimental data to speak... Stop, I know what you want to say. The smell of each nest of ants is different. This kind of basic knowledge
No need for you to remind me!"
Xu Jiaye's smile suddenly froze. Each nest has a different smell. Doesn't that mean that each nest of ants needs different pheromones?
This question made him confused, but the experts in the conference room were arguing endlessly at this time, and no one could find an answer at all.
A high-pitched voice was heard saying: "The area occupied by ants is so large and there are so many ant colonies. How many giant ants can you lure to the border? Don't you have to find a way to control the remaining giant ants?"
Xu Jiaye couldn't help but nod. What he said made sense. The area of ant-occupied areas was conservatively estimated to be more than one-third of a province, and most of the ant-occupied areas were deep in the Black Mountains. It was simply unrealistic to lead all the giant ants to the border.
The current spread of giant ants is already astonishing. If we don't find a way to control the giant ants, it won't be long before the mirror ants become a replica of the army ants.
Even if the military's strength is super strong, it is not comparable to those African armies that are not even third-rate. However, it will take a lot of effort to deal with the giant ants that are growing like a snowball. If the situation changes, nuclear bombs may be needed.
Destroy the ant colony.
There have been speculations about the use of nuclear bombs, but no official information has ever been leaked. In fact, senior officials in Beidu have already proposed the use of nuclear bombs. However, due to constraints from many parties, they have never been able to obtain the support of high-level officials.
The stakes are so huge whether to use nuclear weapons on one's own soil or in a densely populated province, and everyone has to carefully consider the pros and cons.
What surprised Xu Jiaye was that the originally heated discussion came to an abrupt end here. After a while, a breathless voice said: "Fire water, spray smoke, viruses, genes, poisonous gases, we can always come up with a suitable solution!
"
"You are just perfunctory and shirking responsibility!" The high-pitched voice said angrily, "By the time you figure out a way, the earth will already belong to ants."
"If you have anything to say, please don't make excuses!" Xu Jiaye reminded him at the right time.
"Even if the existing ant-occupied area is expanded, it shouldn't be that big." Professor Qin suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Why?" Xu Jiaye felt a little unhappy. Did he say this casually? Can he say this casually?
Nine out of ten people who can sit in this room are experts, and several of them are authoritative experts. Xu Jiaye doesn't know Professor Qin, but from Professor Qin's position, it can be seen that Professor Qin is very important in the academic world.
embarrassing position.
"I need a map of the ant-occupied area." Professor Qin answered the question incorrectly.
The host gave Xu Jiaye a questioning look, Xu Jiaye nodded slightly, and then the host pulled up the map and put it on the big screen.
Professor Qin walked slowly to the big screen, pointed to the lines representing rivers on the map and said: "Everyone, these are the main rivers in the ant-occupied area. These water systems have formed extensive water systems in the ant-occupied area."
The network divides the complete ant-occupied area into pieces. As long as these large rivers are controlled, limiting the expansion of the ant colony is not a problem - it must be noted that those rivers with shallow water and low flow cannot stop the ant colony, only the water depth
Only rivers with large flows have the potential to block ant colonies."
"How is that possible? It's common sense for ants to cross the river in groups!" a high-pitched voice retorted.
"Indeed." Professor Qin nodded, "But we cannot ignore the negative effects caused by the increase in the size of ants. I don't really understand the principle of ant balls crossing the river, but the small size of ordinary ants should have a lot to do with the tension of the water surface.
I don’t need to tell you the size of the giant ants, but whether they can climb up after falling into the water... There is no record of giant ants falling into the water, right?"
"No!" Xu Jiaye shook his head, "But there is also no record of giant ants drowning."
"I remind you!" the high-pitched voice appeared again, "chitin is much lighter than water!"
Professor Qin was continuously targeted by high-pitched voices. No matter how good-tempered the old man was, he became angry: "You don't need to remind me!"
"Quiet, please don't interrupt your normal speech!" Xu Jiaye knocked on the table dissatisfied, "Professor, please continue."
Professor Qin nodded: "I doubt whether giant ants can gather into balls like ordinary ants. Because of the increase in size, the strength of giant ants is obviously not up to the level of ordinary ants, and the size of the ant ball is the same as that of the ants."
There is a direct relationship with strength - giant ants have to spend more time forming ant balls, and the number of ants in a ball will not be too many."
