This incident caught Ye Han's attention. He became very interested in the biological conditions in the forest and began to pay attention to the distribution of biological conditions in the forest.
He is not a biologist. The reason why he is concerned about this issue is to know how many creatures can survive in the forest where giant ants are infested.
Ye Han discovered that the large creatures in the forest had completely disappeared. Whether they were large mammals or giant insects, they could not escape the poisonous hands of giant ants. On the contrary, small and fast squirrels were still active.
This is not surprising. Ants that move in groups are simply a cheating species. Large creatures cannot escape the prey of giant ants. No matter mammals or giant insects, as long as the giant ants can catch them, they cannot escape the claws of the giant ants.
The ecological balance in the forest has been seriously imbalanced by the giant ants. As time goes by, this situation will only become more serious. Only when the giant ants are completely eliminated can the situation be reversed!
However, there are some creatures that can actually live well in the terrifying environment where giant ants are infested, such as butterflies and other flying insects.
Observation found that the habitats of these flying insects do not overlap with those of giant ants. When the giant ants leave their nests to hunt for food during the day, these flying insects are basically flying in the sky, and the giant ants cannot catch them anyway. At night, the giant ants return to their nests to rest.
After that, the flying insects chose the right place to live. Fortunately, they missed the hunting time of the giant ants and survived safely to this day.
These flying insects have some common characteristics, such as being small in size, able to fly for long periods of time or inhabiting the top of the tree canopy; they basically feed on plants and do not need to compete for increasingly scarce animal food sources.
In short, flying insects are a group of little guys who have no contact with giant ants, so they are lucky to survive.
From this, Ye Han found out the reason why the number of giant mosquitoes was rare - they were almost eaten by the giant ants!
The dense puddles in the primeval forest are natural mosquito hatcheries. Unfortunately, mosquitoes are diurnal and nocturnal creatures. They attack everywhere when it gets dark and rest after dawn. Their living habits are completely opposite to those of giant ants. The hungry giant ants don't care.
There are so many, and everything you can catch is good food!
It's strange that the giant mosquito didn't die.
However, the idea above is to eliminate all abnormal bugs, and flying insects are naturally among them.
There is no doubt that this task falls on the Giant Insect Control Center.
Professor Qin, who had just returned to the northern capital, was ordered to do so because of his great success in eradicating giant ants.
After comprehensively analyzing the information obtained from all aspects, Professor Qin and his team quickly came up with a feasible plan and reported it to Beidu senior officials.
The request from the top management is to eliminate flying insects quickly, effectively and economically. The answer given by Professor Qin is still the same: treat insects with insects!
Professor Qin pointed out in the report that the emergence of giant insects is not an accidental phenomenon, but a collective evolution that occurs under the influence of various factors. Any kind of insect has the potential to become giant. Insect plagues are on a global scale.
It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, this life-and-death war between humans and giant insects will continue.
The number and distribution range of insect pests in China are not significantly different from those in foreign countries. With the support of strong national power, insect pests in various places are detected and eradicated quickly, which can prevent the pest disaster from getting worse and give the people the illusion that the domestic pest disaster is not serious.
Through research, it has been found that in densely populated areas with relatively poor resources, the number of insect disaster outbreaks is very low. Dangerous giant insects basically appear in major primitive forest areas. Among all primitive forest areas where insect disasters occur, the Black Mountain Forest Area is the most special area.
This special point is the giant ants that have ravaged most of Linzhou Province and are still ravaging the locust-prone area!
The existence of giant ants strongly compresses the living space of other giant insects, which objectively plays a role in preventing problems before they occur and prevents the outbreak of other types of insect disasters in the Black Mountain Forest Area. If all the giant ants in the Black Mountain Forest Area are eliminated, the consequences are likely to be
It is the resurgence of other insect pests.
Such as giant mantises and giant mosquitoes.
The report also believes that the current research on giant ants has achieved phased results, which has cleared the way for cultivating ant colonies to eliminate insect disasters, and it has become possible to retain ant colonies and even control ant colonies. Under this premise, there is absolutely no need to control the ant colonies in the Montenegro forest area.
The giant ants must be exterminated, and giant ants should even be released into virgin forests in other areas to curb the intensifying insect outbreak.
This report shocked the top management of Beidu. The top management immediately held a hearing. Top biological experts in the country gathered together. The inferences in the report were analyzed at the meeting. The participating experts believed that the content of the report was detailed and accurate, and had very important academic value...
Beidu does not care about the academic value of the report at all, but only cares about the conclusion of the report - the elimination of giant ants will lead to an unforeseen insect disaster in the Black Mountain forest area!
This conclusion is indeed somewhat shocking, but it is also reasonable.
Beidu must make a choice between preserving the giant ants to contain the giant insects or exterminating the giant ants and letting the giant insects go. Weighing the pros and cons, Beidu immediately issued the highest instructions to the troops participating in the war in the Heishan forest area: suspend the action and stand by in place!
As soon as this order came out, the participating troops who were marching with all their strength were in an uproar. It was not until each troop received the official document issued by their superiors that they understood the reason.
Soon, the mission of the troops changed from exterminating giant ants to controlling giant ants, and at the same time eliminating other types of giant insects as much as possible.
Flying insects are not big in size, but they are suppressed by giant ants, and all the big ones are eaten by the giant ants. Once the giant ants disappear, various flying insects are likely to become giant again.
However, there are many flying insects in forest areas, and they are not as organized and well-established as ants. It is not that difficult to eliminate those flying insects that roam around and commit crimes like guerrillas.
However, the reason why people are human is because they have wisdom and understand what it means to take advantage of the situation and act accordingly.
Before their superiors came up with a suitable plan, the troops used their brains and came up with many ways to eliminate flying insects.
For example, you can light an insect-killing lamp on a pond to lure flying insects to fall into the pond and drown to death... This is an old method of luring insects with light.
For another example, I suggested to my superiors to study the pheromones of flying insects, and use pheromones to trap and kill flying insects... This is a taste of the sweetness of pheromones for killing ants, and I can't change the medicine without changing the soup.
Ye Han immediately handed a report to Long Jianguo. After reading it, Long Jianguo applauded loudly and immediately forwarded it to his superiors.
The content of the report is very simple: ethyl acetate is sprayed by aviation to anesthetize flying insects, and then... well, you don't need to worry about it after that. The hungry giant ants will clean up all the flying insects that fall to the ground.
This plan is simple, effective, and low-cost. It will cause less damage to the ecology of the forest area and does not require troops to go deep into the forest area. It is simply a customized pest control plan for the Black Mountain forest area - although ordinary insects will be anesthetized by ethyl acetate, their size is
Too small and the giant ants are not interested at all.
