The mission that was supposed to be smooth sailing went unexpectedly. Brother Yi and Qiu Tianning sat together again. Qiu Tianning said worriedly: "The situation is very bad. Now there are voices of suspending the rescue mission."
Brother Yi frowned: "How did you say that?"
"How can I say it? It's not worth trading a human life for a group of living dead." Qiu Tianning said pretending to be relaxed.
Opposition to the rescue mission has always existed. They believe that although the country is not in a precarious situation, it is not very stable. It is simply a waste of resources to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to save a group of living dead who are not sure whether they can be saved.
Ask yourself, is it worth it?
To be honest, rescue operations are a money-losing business no matter how you look at them, but that’s not how the accounts are calculated, and human life cannot be measured in money, especially at this critical moment when the insect plague is raging. Once you start a rescue operation because it is not worth it, you will waste your life
It’s a precedent, and we don’t know how much trouble it will cause in the future.
Even if you just spend thousands of dollars to buy horse bones, you must have enough gestures.
"Don't worry about those short-sighted fools." Brother Yi waved his hand, "National affairs are not decided by a group of talkers."
"The mission of Linyi..."
"Business as usual!" Brother Yi agreed, "What's the problem?"
"A lot." Qiu Tianning gritted his teeth, "The rescue plan was developed to deal with boxer ants. The equipment carried by the troops was too little. Each armored vehicle only had one machine gun. The knife ants were too fast and could not be hit while sitting in the car.
Knife Ant, if you get out of the car, you are simply seeking death, and only Thunder's powered armors can hold it back a little bit."
Although the knife ants cannot pierce the armored vehicle, there are such a group of vicious guys waiting outside the vehicle. The officers and soldiers on the rescue mission can't even think of leaving the armored vehicle. Even if they find the cave where the boxer ants store humans, they can't get out of the vehicle to carry them.
Thunder's four powered armors alone are too exhausted to move all the victims in the ant nest. They must find a way to contain the knife ants so that the mission can continue.
"Where's the microwave armored vehicle?"
"The effect is limited," Qiu Tianning said. "Microwave armored vehicles can block passages, but knife ants are small in size. As long as they shrink their bodies, they can slip into any rabbit hole."
"Isn't there any good way?" Brother Yi rubbed his temples angrily.
"Yes, but it takes time. We can wait, and the troops can wait, but the people captured by the ants cannot wait," Qiu Tianning said.
With modern technology, as long as Beidu is given a little time, there are many ways to kill the knife ants. The problem is that the physical condition of the victims in the ant nest is extremely bad. Even if they wait one more day, they will pay the price of hundreds of lives.
The time wasted in preparing for the rescue operation has been criticized by public opinion for several days. If the rescue operation is suspended, there is no telling what trouble will happen.
"Is the existing equipment not good at all?" Brother Yi asked unwillingly.
"You can try it, but it's very dangerous." Qiu Tianning said, "Use a microwave armored vehicle to block the cave and see if it has any effect."
"Then let's try." Brother Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you serve as a soldier at this time? Let Lei Lei cooperate with Cao Zizhong, just say it's what I said, and do your best to carry out rescue while ensuring the safety of the officers and soldiers.
.”
"Okay!" Qiu Tianning turned and left.
Brother Yi tiredly leaned into his chair, closed his eyes and thought quietly for a while, then suddenly stood up and picked up the phone: "Secretary Liang, come in."
There was a knock on the door, and Secretary Liang knocked on the door and entered the office: "Chief, you are looking for me." This man was in his thirties, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, and looked capable.
Brother No. 1 nodded and said: "Call Xu Jiaye and the ant expert from the biology laboratory right away... Video connection is also available."
"Yes, I'll do it right away. Do you have any other instructions?"
"No, let's go."
Secretary Liang exited the office and returned two minutes later: "Chief, the video is connected."
Brother Yi nodded and left the office and came to the video conference room next door.
The heads of Xu Jiaye and Professor Qin were on two screens respectively. The first brother sat in the chair and did not look at Xu Jiaye. Instead, he looked at Professor Qin first: "Mr. Qin, this is not the first time we have met, so I'm not polite. You can use the knife."
What do ants think?”
Xu Jiaye was startled, and his mind immediately started to change, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense without Brother Yi asking him. If Professor Qin wasn't around, he would have to give Professor Qin a few looks.
After hearing this, Professor Qin hesitated and asked: "Chief, which aspect are you referring to?"
"In any aspect, you can speak freely." Brother Yi did not want his thoughts to affect Professor Qin, and refused to say a single extra word.
Professor Qin pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "I just learned about the knife ants not long ago, and I don't know much about them, so I don't think it's very good. However, although ants have a clear division of labor, there has always been only ants.
Finally, with the three divisions of labor between worker ants and soldier ants, what is going on with this knife ant?"
Xu Jiaye couldn't help but urge: "You should never show off."
"I'm not trying to sell things, but I don't dare to say nonsense."
"It doesn't matter, you can talk about whatever comes to your mind, and we'll just chat with each other as usual." Brother Yi comforted him.
Professor Qin frowned: "Ordinarily, knife ants should be a type of soldier ants, but as old as I am, I have never heard of soldier ants that look like this. They don't look like ants, but more like a handful of ants."
Pick out the advantages of seed bugs and put them into a pile... If this thing only lives underground, it will be fine if it feeds on boxer ants. But if the knife ants themselves are part of the ant colony, the trouble will be big."
Brother Yi's eyes flashed: "How do you say that?"
"This thing is a new thing, it has never been seen before!" Professor Qin's face became more solemn, "My old man is one of the first people to catch up with the insect plague. For more than half a year, a lot of giant insects jumped out, but don't
Regardless of whether they are in the sky, on the ground, or in the water, no matter which species you choose, they are all species that have been around for a long time. None of them appeared suddenly. Only the knife ant is different."
There is no need for Professor Qin to explain why it is so different. Anyone with a brain can see that this is a new species.
Professor Qin continued: "If the knife ant is not part of the ant colony, then at most it is an insect that is difficult to deal with. On the other hand, if the knife ant is really a part of the ant, it will either be a sudden mutation of the soldier ants, or there will be something out of the ant nest."
The fourth kind of division of labor, if, I mean, if the ant colony continues to change like this, there will be more and more mutated divisions of labor... My old man doesn't have much experience, but he has heard of things like Zerg."
Brother Yi's expression froze, and fragments of all kinds of bugs suddenly appeared in his mind.
