Ye Han chuckled and no longer struggled with this topic.
At this time, the off-road vehicle had already arrived near the airport exit. There was an iron tower about four stories high on both sides of the airport gate. Above the iron tower was a small platform with a roof to protect it from wind and rain, and a gun barrel.
It sticks out from the platform, reflecting a faint dark light.
Except that the size of the platform is too small, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a towering sentry tower in the movie.
Extending his gaze outward, through the fences on both sides of the gate, he could see a layer of barbed wire stretched out at regular intervals outside the airport, with two giant charred insects entangled between the layers of barbed wire.
Ye Han couldn't help but be slightly startled.
He has seen a lot of giant insects, and he has even seen artillery groups bombard insect swarms with his own eyes. However, when he was in the north, he either fought with large groups of giant insects in the field, or relied on cities to fight defensive battles. Now, he has never seen this kind of defense against giant insects with barbed wire.
Pass.
He knew that the country had been working hard to build defense systems in major cities, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. It seemed that the effect was pretty good.
The off-road vehicle stopped when it arrived at the main gate. The sentry with guns and ammunition politely stopped the off-road vehicle. Shen Hao handed over the pass documents. The sentry checked carefully before opening the door and letting him go.
As the off-road vehicle drove out of the gate, Ye Han couldn't help but look up at the machine gun on the top of the tower: "Major Shen, is this thing easy to use?"
"You mean machine gun tower?" Shen Hao asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Ye Han nodded, "How is this thing controlled? Is it possible to cause misjudgment and accidental injury?"
"Definitely not." Shen Hao said, "This thing is automatically controlled by a program. The control chip is not connected to the outside world and can automatically determine whether non-humanoid moving creatures are giant insects. The accuracy is very high."
"Automatic judgment?" Ye Han suddenly became interested, "No mistakes at all?"
"Of course it's impossible. If we encounter a situation that cannot be determined, we will alert the control center and the control center will make a manual determination."
"What is the basis for the judgment?" Ye Han continued to ask.
He suddenly felt that using the chip on the machine gun tower, it was possible to create weapons such as portable drone guns... There are often such things in games, but in reality, I have never heard of any army using them.
"The target's physical data, body length, height, and mode of movement, flying and crawling, whether there are six legs under the belly, and some other messy criteria. As far as I know, those who fly in the sky basically don't run, they run on wheels and have less than two legs.
Yes, we will definitely not attack. The four-legged ones will depend on the specific situation."
"What about the birds?" Ye Han asked.
"Hey, what other birds are there? The insects have eaten them up long ago, so there are only a few domestic pet birds left."
"So that's it!" Ye Han suddenly realized that he really didn't pay attention to this matter. Now that he thought about it, it seemed that he had never seen birds since the Jinghu Lake incident.
Think about it, in order to adapt to changes in the environment, birds that can fly have become small and exquisite. The largest ones are only over one meter tall and weigh ten kilograms, which is far from comparable to giant insects.
Although birds can fly higher and farther than insects, they still have to come down to rest no matter how much they can fly, right? Unless you are lucky enough not to encounter a giant insect, it will be a tragedy once you land.
According to the news, giant worms have now occupied the top of the earth's food chain. That is to say, human beings have technology and this incredible cheat, otherwise they will be beaten to extinction by giant worms in minutes.
As they were talking, the off-road vehicle drove onto the road. Ye Han suddenly saw a machine gun tower standing on the roadside. There was also a man who climbed onto the machine gun tower and sat on the platform wondering what he was doing.
Ye Han couldn't help but asked curiously: "What are you doing up there?"
Shen Hao glanced at it: "Well, maintenance of machine gun towers, troubleshooting, cleaning guns and replacing bullets, etc. The military region has specially selected people to form a group of maintenance teams. I heard that they are researching laser guns, and they will all be replaced by laser guns by then.
With a laser gun, you only need to pull a wire and you can use it all the time.”
"It's a good idea, no one knows when it will be researched," Ye Han said.
Laser gun? How can it be that easy?
Laser cannons are quite mature, but the power of a laser cannon that can kill giant insects will definitely not be low, and the cost will be higher than hundreds or thousands of machine guns combined.
Ye Han moved his gaze back to the front, and suddenly saw a machine gun tower in front of him: "Why is there one in front?"
Shen Hao smiled and said: "There are them all along the road. Now these things are just like street lights. There is one every few hundred meters on the provincial and national roads to ensure that the giant insects will never come back."
"So that's it!" Ye Han nodded.
No wonder Shen Hao drove a convertible across the road. There were machine gun towers along the way. How could there be any need to worry about giant insects?
He stretched his neck curiously and looked around, but the sides of the road were covered with bushes and grass half as tall as a man, and the dense vegetation blocked his sight. He could not see whether there were any giant insects killed by the machine gun tower nearby.
"Are there many bugs here?" Ye Han asked.
"It's okay, it mainly depends on the specific location." Shen Hao said, "In places with a lot of bugs, you have to replenish bullets every two days, and in places with few bugs, you don't need to refill them once a month."
“How many refills are there at one time?”
"It seems to be two boxes of ammunition, one hundred and twenty rounds." Shen Hao said, "
"More than a hundred were killed in two days..."
Bang There was a gunshot from the front, interrupting Ye Han's words. Several people looked up at the same time. Ye Han saw at a glance that near the machine gun tower in front, there was a faint cloud of gunpowder smoke that had not had time to dissipate.
Ye Han tried his best to look in the direction where the gun was pointing, but he still couldn't see anything and couldn't determine the outcome of the shot just now.
At this moment, a churning agricultural tricycle drove up from the front. The tricycle drove under the machine gun tower and braked decisively. Several farmers in simple clothes jumped out of the vehicle.
Each of the five or six farmers held a shotgun in their hands, shouted in a local dialect that Ye Han could not understand, and rushed happily into the bushes on the roadside.
"What is this for?" Ye Han asked blankly.
"They are the ones picking up giant insects."
"What to pick up?"
"Giant insects!" Shen Hao said matter-of-factly. "This year's food harvest is poor, and it's hard to fight the insect disaster. In addition, there is a tradition of eating insects in this place. Giant insects have become the food of the people, and there is nothing to do at home."
The remaining labor force will come out to pick up the giant insects killed by the machine gun tower. One giant insect can feed the whole family for several days, which can save a lot of food."
Before Ye Han could recover from the shock, Shen Hao added: "It's nothing to pick up giant bugs. They are everywhere on the road. Sometimes two groups will fight over a bug. Some are brave.
Farmers go directly into the mountains to kill giant insects, and I heard that the harvest is very good."
"Is this okay?" Ye Han suddenly felt that his brain was not enough, "Why do I think the giant insects here are so easy to fight?"
Shen Hao laughed: "It's not that the bugs here are easy to fight, it's that the bugs in the north are too difficult to deal with!" To be continued.
