The missions of Ye Han and the investigation team have come to an end, but the impact of the asteroid swarm has just begun, and the defense forces prepared by various countries on the earth for the asteroid swarm have been exhausted in the first wave of asteroid impact.
It is unable to continue intercepting subsequent asteroid groups, and due to time constraints, it also lacks the ability to replenish weapons and equipment to space orbit.
At this time, the earth is like an undefended child. Any complete asteroid hitting the ground will trigger a global ecological disaster.
Fortunately, the aliens didn't intend to do this.
However, infrastructure around the world was severely damaged in the impact. When Ye Han just returned to the Sports Center, he could still talk to Bai Xiaoting on the phone. After two consecutive waves of meteorite rain fell in a few days, wireless communication systems everywhere were damaged.
Seriously, even local calls are often unreachable, let alone long distance calls.
The situation of military communications is slightly better, but it is only a little better. Communication stations in various places have suffered certain losses. Although some have been restored after emergency repairs, wireless communications are still intermittent. Only communications that rely on satellite transfer can still work.
Stay normal.
In view of the fact that the subsequent asteroid group impacts will continue for nearly a month, the country simply gave up the idea of repairing communication facilities and prepared to wait until all the impacts were over.
A few days later, the National Biological Laboratory.
With a worried look on his face, Xu Jiaye waited anxiously outside the laboratory, but refused to disturb the ongoing experiment.
Half an hour later, the tired Qin Zhenguo walked out of the laboratory, and Xu Jiaye hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Qin."
Professor Qin nodded as a greeting, poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one breath: "Director Xu, what do you want from me?"
"It's not about the insect tree. It's been three days and the bosses have been urging us to bear fruit."
"It's only been three days, what results can we produce?" Professor Qin said dissatisfied.
Xu Jiaye sighed in embarrassment: "Professor, I understand what you mean, but if the official university level kills people, the ideas from above must be considered, right? Even if we can't get comprehensive experimental results, let's show some simple things to the above first.
It’s okay to look at it, haven’t you already known the ingredients of that egg liquid?”
Professor Qin pinched the corners of his eyes: "If you have any questions, ask them right away. My time is precious now."
"I'll listen to what you have to say." Xu Jiaye's posture was straight.
"We have already studied the insect tree specimen. It looks like meat, but it is still a plant in essence. However, the cell structure is slightly different from that of earth plants. You can think of it as muscle cells with a layer of softened cell walls."
"I see, I was also thinking, if there are bones growing in the insect tree... haha." Xu Jiaye smiled sheepishly.
Professor Qin was stunned for a while, then laughed: "You really dare to think that there are bones growing in trees...haha."
"Isn't this insect tree very different?" Xu Jiaye said with a smile.
"Go back and get a worm tree and dissect it to see if there are any bones." Professor Qin joked, and immediately said seriously, "The composition of the liquid in the worm tree has been clarified. This liquid is very rich in nutrients and has a good proportion of trace elements.
Very reasonable and contains a high concentration of puffed virus.”
Xu Jiaye suddenly thought: "What does the insect tree do?" He had vaguely guessed the answer, but he was unwilling to believe that guess.
Professor Qin said: "We discussed it and concluded that the function of the insect tree is probably to cultivate giant insects. The crown of the insect tree is an incubator for giant insects, and its function is similar to a biochemical culture tank."
Half an hour later, Beidu Underground Command Center.
"Biochemical culture tank?" Brother No. 1 widened his eyes in surprise, "What do the aliens want to do?"
"Professor Qin believes that aliens are probably dissatisfied with the mutation speed of ordinary insects, so they sent insect trees to the earth to accelerate the evolution of giant insects," said Xu Jiaye.
Brother Yi took a breath: "Are you sure?"
"It is still speculation and the laboratory is organizing tests, but based on the known situation... the possibility is very high."
The first brother's face was frozen: "What can the insect tree cultivate?"
"It's not clear yet. It should be a powerful biochemical weapon based on insects," Xu Jiaye said.
"How strong is it?" Brother Yi asked again.
Xu Jiaye thought for a while and said: "This depends on the alien's technological level."
Brother Yi rubbed the sun with a headache and thought carefully about the changes that the insect tree might bring.
Giant insects have brought great trouble to mankind. Although the military used the winter that just ended to eliminate a large number of dormant giant insects, the anti-insect situation is not very optimistic whether at home or abroad.
Although there are not many types of giant insects that have appeared in human sight, the number is quite large. It will not be possible to eliminate them in a short time, and there must be giant insects that have not yet been exposed.
However, most of the known giant bugs are enlarged versions of insects, and only a few have evolved special abilities. Generally speaking, giant bugs are indeed a threat to humans, but they are far from being able to threaten the survival of humans.
The insect tree is very likely...no, it will definitely become a catalyst for the evolution of giant insects. Giant insects that were originally non-offensive may become extremely aggressive after being catalyzed by the insect tree.
If we develop in the direction of biochemical weapons, the giant insects cultivated by the insect tree will definitely have faster speed, stronger insect shells, more ferocious offensiveness, and an appearance more suitable for combat.
Thinking about the overwhelming sea of insects in the movie, Brother Yi felt shuddering.
The infantry cannot stop the insect sea, even the armored soldiers are no exception. The armored soldiers may have the ability to resist, but the wheels of wheeled armored vehicles are a weak point. Only tracked armored vehicles have the possibility to fight against the giant biochemical insects, at least.
Only medium-sized and above tanks can withstand giant insects.
Arms must be strengthened immediately!
Brother Yi's eyes shone with determination.
However, armament is not as easy as imagined. All parts of the country have been invaded by giant insects, industrial and agricultural production has been severely hit, and material transportation and various industrial chains have been greatly affected. Even if the industry fully turns to armaments, the explosive power will be far greater than
Less than pre-war levels.
However, to deal with giant insects, you do not necessarily have to use expensive advanced weapon platforms. Old models are equally useful. The large number of old tanks in storage is enough to double the number of tanks in the entire army.
The national automobile industry has been fully converted, and old equipment has been unsealed. The problem facing Brother Yi is no longer a lack of equipment, but a lack of sufficient production resources and tank troops.
And just having troops is not enough. Modern warfare relies on resources. No matter how many tanks there are, it is useless without fuel.
Fortunately, giant insects are not interested in oil. As long as proper measures are taken, major oil fields and offshore drilling platforms can stably supply crude oil, and there is no need to sit back and consume oil reserves.
