Although the ant colony may expand the population because it obtains a large amount of food, once it enters a period of food scarcity, it will also conquer each other to obtain food, reducing the population size through internal friction, and achieving the purpose of population survival.
During this process, some giant ants must break away from their original populations and open up new territories.
But what does it matter? With the military's skillful methods accumulated by trapping and killing countless giant ants, it shouldn't be too easy to overturn a few migrating groups of giant ants.
Since controlling giant ants is not a problem, the military is fully capable and has reason to turn its main energy in other directions, targeting giant insects that are not yet popular in various places, and severely suppressing the rise of the insects.
Not only is the task arduous, but there is also a long way to go. Unless we find a way to combat the puffed bacteria and eliminate this weird microorganism once and for all, it is possible to get everything back on track.
But the destroyed ecological environment will take a long time to slowly recover - Ye Han heard from Bai Xiaoting that there were several mass extinctions in ancient times. Four to six million years after one of the extinction events, the earth
Life began to recover, and it took 30 million years for the surface ecology to fully recover.
Thirty million years? It was only a fraction of the time when humans appeared. Ye Han had the urge to faint on the spot just thinking about it.
It is said on the Internet that there have been several prehistoric civilizations in the history of the earth. Maybe one of them died in this global disaster. Who knows if the rampant giant insects are the starting point of another global extinction event.
Half a day later, the military would approve a revised version of the plan.
Although domestic agricultural aviation is not completely blank, it is not yet developed. Only a few areas can see the shadow of agricultural aircraft. It is unrealistic to deploy aircraft or work overtime to manufacture aircraft.
Therefore, on the one hand, the military deployed military helicopters and adopted the method of hoisting spray devices to solve the problem of drug spraying and temporarily cope with the shortage of agricultural aircraft; on the other hand, the military instructed major airlines to deploy capable personnel and establish agricultural aircraft production lines as soon as possible.
Several major airlines have strong capabilities and are experts in all aspects of technology. They can produce dozens of agricultural aircraft design drawings every minute. If it weren't for the time it takes to adjust the production line, the military would not have to use helicopters at all.
The Heishan forest area was originally a key area for the military to encircle and suppress giant ants. More than 40 helicopters and dozens of sprinkler systems were all put in place within two days to begin the pest control mission.
The Montenegro Mountains cover a huge area, and the more than 40 aircraft invested by the military can do nothing at all. They can only spray anesthetics in different areas and at different times.
Executing the plan requires a large amount of ethyl acetate, which is not expensive and much cheaper than aerial bombs. However, it is low-toxic and flammable, and the military consumes a lot of spraying. Transportation is a very big trouble, because the supply of anesthetics is insufficient, and the military
Fang even had to reduce the daily spray area.
However, the plan has become the norm after all. Due to the insect control plan, the military has withdrawn most of the troops that are attacking the giant ants from the Black Mountain Mountains, leaving only a small number of troops on the edge of the mountainous area to prevent the expansion of the giant ants.
When the news came out, all the troops reacted fiercely and appealed to their superiors for garrison duty. Long Jianguo was no exception. However, his request was ruthlessly rejected by his superiors. He could only convey the order depressingly, asking the troops to withdraw to Daxing Station where the battalion headquarters is located, and prepare to withdraw.
Fuyun.
In the evening, Long Jianguo climbed onto the roof of the car, lit a cigarette in the cool evening breeze, took a long puff and then exhaled it. The diffuse smoke failed to take away his melancholy, but made him even more irritable.
There was an engine roar in the distance, and a dozen armored vehicles drove onto the platform in a row and parked neatly on one side of the platform.
Lu Qingzhi jumped off the command vehicle, saw Long Jianguo from a distance, and immediately ran over: "Batalion Commander..."
Long Jianguo waved his hand: "Okay, I'll talk about it later. I want to be quiet."
Lu Qingzhi understood Long Jianguo's depression and silently saluted and left.
At this time, the first company had completed its formation. Lu Qingzhi briefly summarized the situation, reminded the soldiers not to leave the station, and then issued a disbandment order to the team.
The soldiers cheered in unison. Several soldiers came to Lu Qingzhi with large insect catching nets. After muttering together for a few words, Lu Qingzhi went to Long Jianguo: "Batalion Commander, there are a few soldiers in my place who want to go out.
After a while, catch a few butterflies..."
"Catch a butterfly? What kind of butterfly?" Long Jianguo threw away the cigarette butt, stepped on it and crushed it hard.
Lu Qingzhi laughed: "Batalion Commander, we won't have any spoils from the war with insects. The soldiers want to get a few butterflies as a souvenir."
"Leave a souvenir?" Long Jianguo glanced at Lu Qingzhi suspiciously.
Mutated butterflies are huge in size. There are many with a wingspan of more than fifty centimeters. Even larger ones are not uncommon. These things are not uncommon in the mountains. It is hard to say whether they can be found outside the Black Mountain Mountains.
Moreover, mutated butterflies are also included in the military's eradication plan. They may become extinct creatures in a while. It would be good to keep a few at home, whether to collect or sell them.
Lu Qingzhi smiled bitterly: "Batalion Commander, there is no danger here anyway, so let them go out. If it doesn't work, drive out."
"You, you, let me tell you what you want?" Long Jianguo glared at Lu Qingzhi dissatisfied, "Go ahead and pay attention to your safety. If something happens, I will ask you for it."
"Yes!" Lu Qingzhi agreed and waved to the soldiers, "Go away, take the gun with you and come back early!"
The soldiers cheered in unison and ran away laughing.
Soon after, the second and third companies returned to the station one by one. After hearing about the first company, many soldiers also tried their best to seek help from the company commander.
A veteran said it well, even if you can't catch butterflies, you can just catch a few crickets and take them back. You can't go out empty-handed, right?
The People's Liberation Army has a tradition of returning all captured items to the public, but this does not mean that soldiers who participated in the war cannot get the spoils of war. They can only return the spoils to individuals after they have been surrendered to the public. It is nothing more than a procedural issue.
One sheep can be driven, and two sheep can be herded. Long Jianguo simply gave each company an outbound quota based on the outbound ratio, and let the company commanders decide who to let out.
Who should be released and whom should not be released became a difficult problem before several company commanders, but the three company commanders quickly discussed a compromise plan: "Each group of people will go out in turns for one hour, and those who cannot catch them will be considered unlucky.
Those who arrive will return to the team immediately, and any extra caught will be turned over.
Several company commanders also applied for some anesthetics from Long Jianguo to provide to the soldiers who went out to catch insects. Firstly, they would speed up the catching, and secondly, they would prevent violent catching and damage to the wings of the butterflies... If the wings are damaged, the value of the butterfly will plummet.
The soldiers will definitely give up the remaining butterflies and continue to capture them, which is not conducive to the rotation of the team.
