Insects are one of the most successful creatures on earth, and ants are the best among insects.
Although the boxer ant is small in size, it can retain more of the characteristics of the ant itself to a certain extent. A short-term mutation cannot be compared with the evolution accumulated over hundreds of millions of years.
When it comes to fighting against humans, boxer ants, which rely on numerical superiority rather than strength superiority, are obviously more difficult to deal with than giant ants, and the methods used to deal with giant ants are completely ineffective when applied to boxer ants. Even the tried-and-tested ethyl acetate
The esters have lost their proper function.
At present, we can only hope that the research department will crack the boxer ant's pheromones as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to retreat as the boxer ants press forward step by step.
There is a precedent for fighting against giant ants. Ye Han believes that the wait for obtaining boxer ant pheromones will not be long, and a devastating counterattack is just around the corner.
However, before the counterattack begins, space must be given up in exchange for time. If the boxer ant pheromones are decoded one day later, the territory occupied by them will expand by one point. As the area occupied by the ant colony continues to become too large, its expansion speed will also increase.
Gradually rise.
Ant colonies may even rush south before winter comes, or they may quietly lie dormant underground, waiting for the return of spring when everything revives.
It takes more than half a month to occupy half of Linzhou Province. If the expansion of boxer ants cannot be restricted in time, it is difficult to say whether the military will have the strength to eliminate the ant colonies by the time pheromones enter the practical stage.
Ye Han didn't know yet that while the military was withdrawing from Linyi, Beidou City was also discussing how to limit the expansion of boxer ants. The plan to bombard boxer ants with conventional weapons or even nuclear weapons was rejected, and the proposal to use rivers to hinder the expansion of the ant colony was rejected.
Reserved for the time being, experts at the meeting even put forward the sensational and crazy suggestion of "using nuclear radiation belts to prevent the spread of giant ants."
After more than an hour of intense discussion, the participating experts finally reached an agreement with the authorities and set out several strategies to limit the spread of boxer ants.
First, boxer ants are small in size and cannot dig nests that run through both sides of the river. They rely on Linzhou's developed water system and based on the plan to limit the expansion of giant ants, set up monitoring points along the river.
Second, early warning equipment and multi-layer power grids should be installed on both sides of bridges, dams and other buildings across rivers to prevent boxer ants from crossing rivers.
Third, adopt a combination of manual and electronic equipment to establish a comprehensive three-dimensional early warning network.
The above is the outer layer of anti-ant project. This layer is the outermost and most important defense system. In short, the ant colony must be restricted within the scope of the project!
Fourth, use satellites, drones and other reconnaissance means to grasp the direction of the ant colony, use artillery groups and bombers as the main force, use incendiary bombs and other ammunition to bombard the outgoing ant colonies, slow down the spread of the ant colonies, and send them to the ant colony if necessary.
Beidu applied for the use of neutron bombs.
5. Linzhou will usher in a new cold wave in the next two days. Artificial rain suppression and artificial rainfall will be used to allow as much rainfall as possible to fall into the ant-occupied areas and to use weather factors to delay the movement of boxer ants.
Sixth, prepare enough high-efficiency pesticides. Once the boxer ants get out of control, spray pesticides immediately. You would rather sacrifice the environment than allow the boxer ants to expand.
7. Speed up pheromone analysis.
Eighth, speed up the development of weapons, solicit weapon design ideas from the private sector, and specifically design and manufacture one or several highly effective weapons against boxer ants.
9. Find a way to capture the queen of a boxer ant to provide conditions for artificial breeding.
The last item was purely motivated by the military's giant ant breeding program. In order to explain that boxer ants are different from giant ants, participating experts and military representatives argued for more than half an hour. Finally, the military representatives agreed to put the last item on hold for the time being. When will the information be released?
If decisive progress has been made in element analysis, when will this item be put on the agenda again?
In the end, the participants agreed that if boxer ants are allowed to spread, Africa will learn a lesson from the past. The expansion of boxer ants must be restricted to protect national security.
When the country is in crisis and life or death is at stake, we should resort to any means.
At this time, Ye Han's convoy had only left Linyi for more than a hundred kilometers. It had already left the abandoned Jingjiang River behind, left the highway, and headed towards Fuyun.
If the troops that had withdrawn a few days ago had not used tanks and armored vehicles to smash through the huge array of vehicles blocking the highway, the convoy would have been forced to leave the highway long ago, and now I am afraid that not even the shadow of Jingjiang City can be seen.
Along the way, Ye Han's car had killed more than ten lone giant insects. At first, most of them were giant ants. However, the further away from Linyi, the more giant locusts appeared.
And as the sun gradually rises, the temperature rises significantly. The giant insects we encounter are no longer like the stiff ants and locusts in the early morning. They often rush to their hind legs as soon as they hear the roar of the vehicle.
Jump, flap your wings and leap high into the air.
If the giant locust with its withered body stayed still, Ye Han and others might not have noticed it, but it would actually dare to jump up? Isn't this an old man eating arsenic?
Several soldiers were not polite and used various methods to eliminate the giant insects. As a result, Zhuo Haoran gained the heavy trust of his comrades - everyone's socks were waiting to be washed!
Although he tried his best to defend himself, no one listened to his reasoning. Even because of his resistance, washing socks was elevated to the level of washing trousers.
Zhuo Haoran screamed and threatened that he would put gun oil on the pants of anyone who dared to let him wash their socks and trousers.
Several people were immediately shocked, and they all shouted to give Zhuo Haoran some color.
Legend has it that in the early years, there was an unscrupulous squad leader who bullied recruits and threw all their clothes, socks and trousers for the recruits to wash. The recruits couldn't bear the bullying, so they used this method to retaliate and almost killed the unscrupulous squad leader's little brother.
Anyone who has been in contact with firearms knows that firearms must be wiped and maintained after use. The gun oil used for wiping guns is corrosive to a certain extent. Prolonged contact with the palm of the hand will cause the epidermis to fall off. If it is applied to the top of the pants, the lower part will be red, swollen and inflamed.
dropped.
This matter was widely circulated among the army leaders. At the critical moment, Zhuo Haoran was legally sacrificed to save the situation.
The effect of this method was indeed good, but it had the opposite effect. Everyone unanimously decided that even if someone was to guard Zhuo Haoran and watch him finish washing, this black-hearted bastard could not be let go.
Even Qiao Hai, who was driving, couldn't help but get involved. Ye Han was the only one who couldn't participate due to his identity, but he couldn't help but think of the time he spent with his group of scheming comrades, with a trace of nostalgia on his face.
color.
Ye Han kept glancing around, when he suddenly saw a large diameter soil hole in the field dozens of meters away.
The soil hole was dug directly into the ground, with a slight depression around it. It looked ordinary and not at all like a towering ant nest. Therefore, Ye Han didn't pay much attention to it. However, after walking a hundred or ten meters further, he saw another similar hole.
