Probably because of the obstruction of the soil layer, the farther the mechanical spider goes, the weaker the signal it sends back, and there is even a possibility of signal interruption if it goes further.
Ye Han didn't want to give up casually, so he turned on his headlight and said, "I'll go down and take a look!"
The piano master grabbed Ye Han and said, "Are you sure?"
"Don't worry!" Ye Han gave the violinist a look of affirmation, regardless of whether the violinist could see it or not.
"Be careful!" The violinist let go of Ye Han.
Ye Han spread his arms and legs, supported the cave wall and slowly slid down, turning a blind eye to the location of the soldier ants, and slid directly into the ant hole below.
The mechanical spider's signal quickly strengthened, and Ye Han simply lay down on the sloping bottom of the cave and controlled the mechanical spider to enter the cave on the left.
There is no special reason for choosing the left side, just because you have to step with your left foot first when walking in line, so it becomes a habit.
The mechanical spider continued to move forward and encountered a new fork in the road more than ten meters later. Ye Han continued to choose the left side.
Maybe it was because the cave between Ye Han and the mechanical spider was relatively straight. The mechanical spider continued walking for another thirty meters and finally entered an underground space after turning left for the fourth time. However, it could be seen that the place had been abandoned and empty.
There is nothing in the hole.
Ye Han carefully noted down the mechanical spider's action route, controlled the mechanical spider to retreat a certain distance, and then entered another fork in the road.
Later, the mechanical spider entered an empty cave again.
Ye Han controlled the mechanical spider and repeated the same process. Every time, the mechanical spider entered an empty cave and found nothing else.
He couldn't help but begin to wonder if there was something wrong with the action plan this time. Can traces of boxer ants really be found in the giant ant's underground nest?
But the task was the task, and Ye Han could not question it at all. He could only continue the experiment one way after another, until two hours later, the last passage in the ant nest was inspected. The exhausted Ye Han controlled the mechanical spider to return, and he
He climbed out of the ant nest by climbing on the cave wall and shook his head helplessly at his three comrades waiting outside the cave.
"Don't be discouraged." The piano master patted Ye Han on the shoulder, "Look for the next one."
Ye Han twitched his lips: "I'm not discouraged, I'm just not in a good mood."
"I'll do the next hole!" said the luthier.
Ye Han happily transferred the control of the mechanical spider to the piano master and went back to the armored vehicle to recharge. Although he was almost motionless in the past two hours, operating the mechanical spider also consumed nearly 2%.
If you don't replenish the 10% battery now, it will be too late by the time you find the boxer ant's cave.
Everyone got into the armored vehicle. Although they didn't say anything, it was a bad start and everyone felt uncomfortable.
The violinist cheered up and asked Ye Han for the route map of the mechanical spider. Through the three-dimensional structure diagram of the ant nest, he could determine the area and depth of the ant nest, and waited for the armored vehicle to drive out of the ant nest.
Afterwards, the luthier personally selected an entrance above another ant nest.
"Be careful!" Ye Han warned the violinist before entering the ant nest.
The violinist nodded, dumbfounded, and then disappeared into the anthole.
The ant nest cannot be inspected in a short time. As soon as the piano player entered the ant hole, Ye Han ordered: "Xiao Yuan, you stay here for a while, we will go back to the armored vehicle first, and we will come back to replace you later."
"Okay." Xiao Yuan agreed without hesitation.
Isn't it just a shift change, pediatrician?
Perhaps it was because the ant nest was relatively large. It wasn't until more than three hours later that the tired violinist emerged from the ant nest. However, like Ye Han, he didn't make any meaningful discoveries.
"Are you still looking for it?" Ye Han asked.
It was already close to four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was almost below the horizon, and it would be completely dark in a few hours at most.
"Look for it!" the violinist squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "I don't believe I can't find it!"
Ye Han hesitated and said, "Is there a mistake somewhere? Is this really the birthplace of boxer ants?"
"That's what the information says." The violinist said, "There should be no mistake."
"Then will all the boxer ants move away?" Ye Han asked again, "When I left Linyi, the boxer ants were flooding into the city. I thought it would be best to contact the above and ask the boxer ants what their last decision was.
Where did it appear?"
Both boxer ants and giant ants migrate in pursuit of food. In this ghost place, the boxer ants' only food is the unlucky giant ants, but over there in Linyi, there are tens of thousands of humans.
This place is not far from Linyi, but that is based on human transportation capabilities. It will definitely take a long time for the boxer ants to run from here to Linyi.
Therefore, Ye Han feels that boxer ants are more likely to build their nests in Linyi, instead of going to Linyi to eat and then returning to this place where birds don't poop.
Of course, as long as you know these things yourself, there is no need to explain them to the violinist.
"It makes sense!" The violinist nodded: "I understand what you mean."
He immediately used the vehicle-mounted radio to contact his superiors. The vehicle-mounted radio established communication directly with the General Staff in Beidu through satellite. After explaining the questions raised by Ye Han, the commander of the General Staff in charge of the mission obviously hesitated.
The mission was formulated based on the information obtained by the General Staff. The reason why it was believed that there were boxer ants near the airborne landing point was because it was indeed the first place where boxer ants were discovered.
Now the target is not found at the scheduled mission location. The situation is very serious. The General Staff is in a state of collapse. They immediately contact the National Biological Laboratory. After communicating with the ant and giant insect experts, they immediately correct the mission order and ask the luthier to take people to search near Linyi.
.
The piano master was so angry that he wanted to strangle the fool who made the mission plan, but the matter had come to this, and there was no point in being angry. He could only angrily cut off the communication and ordered Luo Mingyu to transfer to Linyi.
In the dark red sunset, the armored vehicle turned around and drove toward Linyi, dozens of kilometers away.
Several people in the car were silent. After a while, the piano player asked in a low voice: "Ye Han, you are most familiar with the situation in Linyi. Please tell me carefully about Ji."
"Linyi!" Ye Han fell into memories, "There's really nothing to say. Anyway, there are dead people everywhere, ants everywhere, giant cockroaches everywhere, the whole city is in chaos, Xiao Yuan, what do you have to add?
No?"
Xiao Yuan hesitated for a moment and said: "When the troops withdrew, there seemed to be hundreds of thousands of people in Linyi City who had not yet withdrawn. Does this count?"
"Are there so many?" Ye Han thought about it doubtfully, but couldn't think of any memory of this aspect, so he had to shake his head helplessly, "It was so chaotic when we pulled out, I just remember asking the boxer ants to kick my butt.
I chased after him, but I can’t remember the rest.”
"I also heard it from others, but I don't know how many people specifically." Xiao Yuan said. To be continued.
