After entering the camp, Ye Han went straight to the canteen under the leadership of the company commander. The company commander greeted him, and the chief of staff led the cook to deliver hot meals to the table.
The company commander rubbed his hands with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Chief, we are a small place here and our conditions are limited. Please bear with us."
"It's okay, it's good to have one bite." Ye Han picked up a dinner plate and scooped out a little of each dish, "Company Commander Xu, don't you want to introduce these two dishes?"
"Hey!" the company commander agreed, "This is potatoes stewed with ant meat. We grow the potatoes ourselves; this is stir-fried mushrooms with wild vegetables. The soldiers went out to pick them. We only have these wild things in this area."
Ye Han took a chopstick and put it into his mouth, chewed it twice and nodded: "It tastes good, everyone, don't be stunned, let's eat."
To be honest, the level of the cooks in this company is average. The stewed potatoes with ant meat are okay, and the stir-fried mushrooms with wild vegetables are just average. But the conditions are not very demanding in this situation. Besides, everyone is a soldier, and one of them is good.
It’s great to eat regular hot dishes, but why are you so fussy about it?
When the soldiers heard that they were not polite, they immediately divided up the two large pots of vegetables.
It was the first time for many soldiers to come into contact with ant meat, but with Ye Han taking the lead, the others had no room to refuse, nor could they refuse, let alone want to refuse.
Waste is a sin!
Waste was at best a moral condemnation before the insect disaster, but in today's era of scarcity, it is a real crime.
The northern capital has still not abolished the supply system, and the people across the country are barely able to keep their stomachs full. Therefore, even key units like the Marine Corps, which give priority to the supply of supplies, do not dare to waste any extravagance.
The situation in China is pretty good. Not only can we be self-sufficient in food, but we can also provide some meat and other non-staple food.
However, due to the insect plague, wild animals all over the world have become extinct or on the verge of extinction, and the traditional breeding industry has suffered a devastating blow. Currently, only the farms in Beiyuezhou are still carrying out large-scale breeding, and they can only be found in Beiyuezhou.
There are a large number of poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs. It is difficult to find people on earth who raise poultry and livestock.
The decline of traditional breeding industry cannot reduce the demand for meat on the table, and new breeding industry has emerged as the times require.
Taking Beidu as an example, 14% of the meat in the entire Beidu market is snail meat produced by the giant snail farm in the northern suburbs, accounting for 14% of the Beidu meat market!
Needless to say, there is no need to mention foreign countries. Many countries have been severely hit by insect pests, and industry and agriculture have been shut down. Many hardest-hit areas are still starving to this day, with countless victims.
For those hungry people who are still struggling on the verge of death, having a bite to eat is already a huge luxury. Being able to eat meat and wild vegetables would not be a substitute for heaven!
Well, even though domestic supplies are relatively abundant, these two dishes have reached an above-average level.
After the meal, Ye Han expressed satisfaction with Captain Xu's hospitality, and after rejecting Captain Xu's enthusiastic invitation to stay, the team continued northward.
The entire Linzhou has been abandoned for several years, and the roads are in disrepair. The bridges were either blown up to contain the insect swarms during the encirclement and suppression of the giant insects, or they collapsed due to lack of maintenance. The road network that originally extended in all directions has long been fragmented, and only the army is transporting supplies.
The road condition of the war-prepared highway is not bad.
However, the standard of the war-ready road was too low. The convoy traveled through mountains and rivers with stops and starts. At nightfall, the convoy finally arrived at its destination, a military camp located in the deepest part of the insect-occupied area.
Even though this place is small in size and has not many personnel stationed there, it is one of the most important monitoring nodes on the entire eastern front. More than 20 kilometers north from here is the border, and the mission of this camp is to monitor the northern border.
situation, we must not only master and guide the ant colony, but also be responsible for monitoring the movements of the wolf worms. Once the wolf worms are found to have crossed the border, we must use means such as spreading pheromones to guide the ant colonies to gather in the direction of the wolf worms, so that the ant colonies have a numerical advantage.
Offset the wolf's quality advantage, and ultimately achieve the goal of annihilating the wolf.
If the ant colony fails to fight effectively, the monitoring camp must call for fire support in time to kill the wolves and save the ant colony.
It can be said that all the officers and soldiers stationed in this camp are real giant ant experts - Ye Han has only mastered some habits of giant ants. The officers and soldiers here even know when the giant ants mate. If they guide the queen to integrate into the old ant colony,
Rather than splitting up and living alone, everything is clear.
The total manpower in this place was less than one platoon, but the supervisor was a lieutenant colonel. After the convoy arrived, the lieutenant colonel introduced the situation on both sides of the border to Ye Han in detail.
"Twenty-four kilometers due north is the border, and thirty-four kilometers northeast is the abandoned Huicheng. Maozi's Ka City and Huicheng are across the river. The port there was originally a very important trade node, but Huicheng was abandoned.
After that, Maozi also gave up on Calgary, and there were two other similar situations in my defense zone."
"How many abandoned cities are there in Maozi?" Ye Han asked.
"Many of the cities on the border were abandoned after the insect infestation broke out, and they continued northward into Siberia. There are also many old cities that were once glorious in the former Soviet Union but have been abandoned for decades."
"Give me a detailed map."
"Okay, electronic version or regular version?"
"Both, the more detailed the better."
"no problem."
"I also want to know about the wolf insect." Ye Han said.
"No problem." The lieutenant colonel agreed simply, "At present, the ant colony has established a foothold outside the country. The ant colony's control range is within thirty kilometers outside the country. Further north, the actual control line of the ant colony and the power of the wolf insect
The scope is intertwined..."
"That is to say, 30 kilometers away from the border is the wolf's territory. I understand that, right?"
"Yes." The lieutenant colonel nodded.
"Do you have detailed information about wolves? For example, which direction has the most wolves and where is the most likely location of the insect nest?"
"Yes... this is more complicated. I can't explain it at the moment. Can I just mark it on the map?"
"Okay, it's best to be more detailed."
"Try our best," the lieutenant colonel said, "but our knowledge is limited, and the Tiangong should have more detailed information."
The Tiangong not only has space telescopes for observing celestial bodies, but also various equipment for observing the earth. Siberia is the only source of insects close to its own border. How could the Tiangong not regard Siberia as the focus of its observations?
"We have information about Tiangong, but the intelligence provided by the front line is equally important."
The lieutenant colonel smiled and said, "It would be great if we could help. Is there anything else you need from us?"
"Not for the time being... Well, the ants are about to hibernate, right?"
"It's coming soon. The temperature has dropped sharply recently, just in the past few days."
"That's just right. The situation in the north is very difficult. After we leave, you can go south immediately."
