After Ye Han summarized the soldiers' questions, he immediately went to Long Jianguo to explain the pros and cons.
The advantage of poisoning is low cost and low investment; the disadvantage is that the progress of poisoning the queen ants is unclear, and the poison bait may be eaten by the worker ants. He and the soldiers are still waiting stupidly. No matter how you look at it, it is a disadvantage.
outweighs the advantages.
The soldiers collectively suggested a more direct and effective method, at least letting everyone know whether the queen ant was killed or not, so as not to waste time on useless efforts.
Long Jianguo waved his hand: "Stop poisoning. It's up to you to decide what plan to make. I only care about the final result!"
Ye Han couldn't help but complain, "Okay, he kicked the ball over with one kick. He's really skilled at being a hands-off shopkeeper!"
Ye Han didn't have the patience to slowly experiment with each plan one by one, so he directly took out two regular plans and carried out them at the same time.
The remaining plan is the simplest, crudest, and most effective plan - directly use nuclear bombs to destroy the ant-occupied areas!
Are you kidding the United States? Even the so-called cleanest neutron bomb is still a nuclear bomb. If you really use that thing to bomb the ant-occupied area, the ant-occupied area will immediately become a no-man's land. The giant ants will be bombed and no one can return.
Go ahead, what's the point of killing the giant ants?
Besides, nuclear bombs are not blown by strong winds. Each one is expensive. The ant-occupied area now occupies half of Linzhou Province. How many nuclear bombs are needed to destroy the ant-occupied area?
The landlord’s surplus grain cannot be such a disaster!
The new plan required new supplies, so Ye Han immediately organized people to throw all the remaining poisonous bait into the ant-occupied area. Fortunately, after two days of consumption, there was not much poisonous bait left on the train.
Two hours later, a train drove near the armored train and threw two tank cars full of diesel and two flatbed trains onto the armored train.
The flatbed train carried four wheeled armored vehicles equipped with oil tanks. After Ye Han organized his personnel to receive the equipment, he immediately filled the armored oil tanks and eagerly drove into the ant-occupied area.
The next task was similar to that of burning Jingjiang. The car drove to the core area of a certain group of giant ants. Ye Han personally went into battle and controlled the hole cannon on the top of the car to pour diesel into the ant holes.
These oil armored vehicles have been modified to be very user-friendly. Not only do they have oil pipes for refueling other vehicles, they also have oil cannons that come standard with fire trucks on the roof. Participants can inject diesel into the ant nests without having to approach the ant holes.
.
A large column of oil poured into the hole. The soldier ants guarding the hole were caught off guard and were immediately showered with water.
The soldier ant exploded on the spot and jumped out of the hole covered in diesel fuel. Unfortunately, its tentacles were soaked in diesel fuel. Two tentacles were scattered around in confusion, but they could not smell where the enemy was.
The "escorting" armored vehicle immediately turned its guns and killed the soldier ants with two cannons.
In order to avoid igniting diesel fuel in advance, armored vehicles use armor-piercing projectiles!
After getting rid of the soldier ants, Ye Han became even more unscrupulous. After a while, he sent half a can of diesel into the ant nest, and made a driving gesture to the front of the car. The driver knowingly drove the oil truck away, and another car
The armored vehicle immediately followed the plan and drove to the vicinity of the ant hole, aiming its muzzle at the hole and firing several rounds.
With a bang, the incendiary bomb immediately ignited the diesel fuel, and billowing black smoke jumped out of the ant hole and straight into the sky.
Diesel has low volatility and does not ignite like gasoline. If you use a match lighter to light the flame, it will not light for a long time. If you throw it into the diesel, it will be drowned by the diesel.
Therefore, incendiary bombs must be used to ensure that the diesel fuel is ignited.
For a time, fires were everywhere in the ant-occupied area, and black smoke filled the sky - there was a lack of oxygen in the burrow, the diesel fuel was incompletely burned, and it was normal for the smoke to be thicker.
Moreover, combustion consumes a large amount of oxygen. Even if the flame cannot burn the queen ant, the lack of oxygen can suffocate the queen to death.
As the flames spread, thick smoke billowed out from several nearby ant hills. The fleeing worker ants and soldier ants scrambled out of the holes. The armored vehicles guarding nearby opened fire immediately, killing all the giant ants in sight without hesitation.
.
Ye Han secretly complained that he had made a mistake and immediately ordered his troops to bombard the anthill.
Several rounds of cannonballs destroyed the anthill, and no giant ants escaped to the ground anymore. Ye Han couldn't help but smile with joy.
It is true that compared with giant ants, humans have no strength and no carapace, and their fertility is dozens of times worse than giant ants. But the greatest reliance of humans is wisdom!
No matter how strong the giant ants are, how they dig holes, and how many more they give birth to, what will they do? Just give them a time lag, bully and bully the unarmed civilians, and face off against the well-organized and changeable regular army, killing these brainless people in a matter of minutes.
Ant.
The first attempt to burn an ant nest was not a smooth one, but Ye Han and the participants gained valuable experience.
When burning the second nest of ants, Ye Han did not take action directly. Instead, he directed the armored vehicle to collapse the excess anthills to prevent the giant ants in the holes from escaping to the ground, and then began to pour diesel into the holes.
After burning three ant nests in a row, the team commanded by Ye Han ran out of fuel and had to leave the ant-occupied area.
On the way back, the convoy unexpectedly discovered a swarm of giant ants surrounding the anthill that was still emitting black smoke. They were so anxious that they refused to leave.
The ant colony has a regular schedule of foraging during the day and resting at night. It is not surprising at all that such a scene occurs. Anyway, the queen ant in the nest is finished, and dozens of discrete giant ants cannot become a climate at all.
But then I thought about it and felt something was wrong. It was burned and smoked, and most of the giant ants in the nest were dead, but there were still ant eggs in the nest!
That thing does not need to breathe. Unless it is directly smoked at high temperature, it is possible to kill the ant eggs. If the hole where the ant eggs are stored is away from the burning area, even if the hole is filled with poisonous smoke, it will not damage the ant eggs at all!
When the high temperature in the hole dissipates, the scattered giant ants return to the ant hole to rescue the ant eggs. It is entirely possible to cultivate several queen ants and continue the termite colony that is supposed to be extinct!
We must not allow the ant colony to resurge!
Ye Han quickly ordered the troops to hunt down the giant ants, and the team was immediately divided into three, with each team guarding the nest of a group of giant ants.
The giant ants outside the nest cannot return to the scorching nest, nor can they run to the territory of other ant colonies to take refuge. When they get close to the ant hill, they are shot and killed by armored vehicles. Each one of them succumbs to the muzzle of the armored vehicle in grief and indignation.
According to subsequent statistics, Ye Han and his troops shot and killed more than 600 giant ants a day. This number was only a fraction of three groups of giant ants, indicating that most of the giant ants were suffocated in their burrows and were dealt with with fire attacks.
Giant ants are far more effective than any poisonous bait!
Of course, the cost is much higher than poisoning.
However, there are also different opinions. They think that it is not that there are too many giant ants in the cave, but that there are too many giant ants that were killed in the early stage. The few ant colonies located on the edge of the ant-occupied area no longer have many worker ants to send, so there are too many ants in the cave.
misunderstanding.
In any case, the effect of the fire attack was obvious to all, and the relevant experience was immediately promoted to various troops around the ant-occupied area.
