Qiu Tianning looked serious: "In areas close to my country's borders, summer will last longer. These places are more suitable for the development of boxer ants, and the possibility of forming an ant tide is also higher."
Qiao Yi's expression also became serious: "Generally speaking, locust plagues are continuous outbreaks. The main areas of locust activity are on both sides of the border. These areas are also the most likely places for locust swarms to form, and these areas are precisely the habitat of boxer ants.
Main activity area…”
"That's what I want to say." Brother Yi said, "The spring near the border is much earlier than the spring in Siberia. After the boxer ants emerge from their nests, they cannot move towards the colder hinterland of Siberia and will only migrate to the warmer south.
, it’s only a matter of time before we cross the border, and eventually we have to face the ant tide, so why should Maozi worry?”
Qiu Tianning said: "If we don't take action this winter, if we want to eliminate boxer ants next year, we will have to pay a dozen times or even dozens of times the price!"
He looked straight at Brother Yi, with a look of determination shining in his eyes.
Brother Yi hesitated for a moment and asked: "Lao Qiu, if you authorize the military to use nuclear weapons, how long will it take you to eliminate the boxer ants?"
Qiu Tianning shook his head: "It's hard to say. Personally, I prefer not to eliminate them. I can only achieve some results when I find the ant colony. After all, boxer ants are ground-dwelling creatures."
"Lao Qiu, you really stumped me." Brother Yi sighed.
"You can't know it's a hole and still let us soldiers fill it in, right?" Qiu Tianning said.
Brother No. 1 turned to look at Qiao Yi: "Old Qiao, you understand the situation. Please contact Moscow again and say that if Moscow has no plan to eradicate the boxer ants, please allow us to take the initiative."
Qiao Yi was shocked: "Is this appropriate?"
Although there has been a lot of military cooperation between the two sides in recent years, the border crossing of the established military is still too sensitive. Even if the Maoist leaders allow it, the public opinion will not be so easy to pass.
"There is nothing inappropriate." Brother Yi said, "We can discuss with Moscow and allow Maoists to send military observers to accompany our army in the name of joint exercises, or allow Moscow to invite them to transit in the name of civilian volunteers, and they can promise
, except for the weapons that are necessary to eliminate the boxer ants, we do not bring any extra heavy weapons and equipment. In short, the elimination of the boxer ants is the first priority. Regardless of the name or status, we must give way to this!"
Qiu Tianning's eyes shone brightly, and he stared at Qiao Yi with a real gaze.
"I...will do my best!" Qiao Yi gritted his teeth and agreed.
Brother Yi nodded: "Contact Moscow as soon as possible, and let me know as soon as possible whether it succeeds or not."
"Okay, then I'll go now." Qiao Yi left with his heart full of worries and how to communicate in order to get Mao Zi to agree.
It wasn't until Qiao Yi was far away from the office that Qiu Tianning asked in a low voice: "What will we do if Moscow doesn't agree?"
"The arrow has to be fired when it is on the string." Brother Yi's face was clouded, "We need a safe strategic rear. If it doesn't work, we can cross the border secretly. Anyway, Maozi has no time to care about this trivial matter in the Far East."
"When crossing the border secretly, the weapons that can be brought are very limited. Infrasonic cannons will definitely not work. How about... preparing a batch of highly toxic insecticides?"
"It's useless." Brother Yi shook his head, "The laboratory has done experiments a long time ago. Boxer ants have a very high tolerance to poisons, and conventional pesticides are useless. The laboratory has been doing experiments in this area, but until
So far, no effective insecticide has been found to kill boxer ants."
"If it doesn't work, just pour white phosphorus into the hole. It won't take many more runs." Qiu Tianning said. "It would be great if the boxer ants had some natural enemies, even if the laboratory could artificially giantize them!"
He was forced to have no choice but to come up with this rogue method.
"I've also asked about this. The laboratory said that ants do have natural enemies, but they don't agree with artificial gigantism."
"Ah? Why?" Qiu Tianning asked puzzledly.
"Professor Qin said that the natural enemies of ants are all carnivorous creatures. After becoming giant, they may become like ants and in turn feed on humans." Brother No. 1 looked helpless, "The laboratory has already done experiments and called a species
The insect-eating fly's insect has grown to a giant size, and as a result, it not only eats bugs, but also piglets and puppies, and the like, becoming a delicacy for the insect-eating fly."
"It would be great if the anteater could become giant." Qiu Tianning said regretfully.
"Let's forget it." Brother No. 1 thanked him, "If we get an anteater that can eat giant ants, eating humans will definitely not be a problem."
"I really envy Maozi's geographical location. We are still worried about how to clean up the bugs here. They have no bugs there anymore," Qiu Tianning said.
"That's not how the account is calculated." Brother No. 1 corrected, "They are a bitterly cold place with few insects, but the living environment is not good either!"
"I'm sure our environment is poor, so we can save so many bugs." Qiu Tianning said.
Although swarming insects such as giant ants and giant locusts are basically concentrated in the north, there are also a lot of giant insects in the south. Various giant insects emerge in an endless stream, and their impact on various places is becoming more and more serious. Although the north has taken various measures to curb giant insects, it can
The insect control effect is very limited.
There was a time when highly toxic pesticides were used by the public to kill giant insects. However, only a few insects were killed. However, the local ecology was devastated by highly toxic pesticides. The land and rivers were polluted on a large scale. It took ten or eight years for them to be completely restored.
But come on, if the local government hadn't noticed something was wrong and stopped it in time, there might have been a lot of trouble.
The first brother sighed deeply: "The pest control plan in the north must be done well; the westward expansion plan must be accelerated to form an industrial chain as soon as possible; the construction of the defense systems in major cities must also be accelerated... Oh, there are so many things!"
The pest control operation in the north is related to the country's strategic situation next year; the westward expansion plan is a comprehensive backup for the country's industrial system; and the defense of major cities is related to the vitality of the entire country.
No matter which plan, a huge amount of manpower and material resources will be invested, almost wiping out the savings accumulated over decades of economic development.
A rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded, and the two people in the office were stunned at the same time. The first brother's face changed slightly: "Come in!"
The secretary knows very well who is in the office, and will never knock on the door at this time if there is no important situation.
The secretary pushed open the door and walked in: "Chief, urgent report from the laboratory. Professor Qin has made a new discovery related to knife ants."
"Who reported it?" Brother Yi asked.
"This is a call from Director Xu Jiaye."
Brother Yi immediately picked up the phone on the table: "Put Xu Jiaye's call in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the call was connected.
Xu Jiaye's anxious voice rang on the phone: "Chief, a new type of puffed virus has been found in knife ants!"
