The convoy hurriedly left the insect nest, got on the road, and headed west.
Ye Han was still studying the map in the southwest when he suddenly received a new communication: "Tiangong call 601, please answer when you receive it!"
"601 received, please speak!"
"601, I am 104, your previous suggestion has come to fruition."
"What suggestion?" Ye Han asked in surprise.
He was still thinking about the map in his mind, and he didn't even remember what he said.
"It's just about the temperature!"
"Oh, I remembered it!" Ye Han suddenly realized, "What's the result?"
"We scanned the entire Siberia, and the total number of points with temperature anomalies exceeded two thousand..."
"So many?" Ye Han was shocked, but he soon realized that there was no need to be so excited.
An insect nest must have more than one exit, and more than a dozen exits are normal. Moreover, many underground caves are not suitable for insect colonies to breed at all. There must be very few real insect nests.
The reason is very simple. If every point is an insect nest, the huge insect swarm will have to hollow out half of Siberia. However, Siberia is just a virgin forest, and no matter how rich the products are, there is a limit. What's more, Siberia is located in a cold area, and the products are not very abundant.
Not as rich as tropical rain forests.
Wolfworms have been in Siberia for several years. The animal resources here have been destroyed by wolfworms, and there is no way to support so many wolfworms.
Why do wolf worms form groups and move south every year? The most important reason is that the explosive expansion of the swarm consumes too many resources. If the huge swarm does not migrate south, it will only starve.
The factor that determines the number of wolf worms is not the fertility of the wolf worms, but how many wolf worms Siberia can afford.
"More? Not much. This doesn't even count the points outside the insect-occupied area!" Gao Kai said.
"How many are there in total?" Ye Han asked curiously.
"Thirty thousand or twenty thousand is definitely not going to stop me... Don't talk nonsense, I have a new mission for you."
"What mission? Check all suspicious burrows?"
"Correct, your words have more than doubled the insect-occupied area of Siberia. If we don't find out, the northern capital will suffer from collective insomnia."
Ye Han sighed: "I am just seeking my own death!"
"It's not that serious. It's not like I'm asking you to walk through the entire insect-occupied area. It's the same as before, one-tenth." Gao Kai said.
Beidou finally made up its mind. How could the military send only one troop out of the country? Counting Ye Han's team, the military sent a total of ten troops to march north from various locations along the northern defense line.
"Can the one-tenth before be the same as the one-tenth now? There is a difference of twice!"
"You have a lot of extra manpower there! Don't complain to me, just tell me what you have to say."
"The old leader knows me best." Ye Han chuckled, "I only have four cars here, so many people can't fit in them. Can the old leader help me think of a way?"
"What can I do? How many more armored vehicles can I give you?"
"If you don't have an armored vehicle, a trailer will do!"
"Thank you for thinking it through. OK, I'll think of a way, but whether it works or not is another matter."
"You keep trying to find a way, but you still can't do it?"
"Do you think I'm your first brother? If you have anything else to say, hurry up and don't waste communication resources here."
"You also need equipment, the kind that smokes. The thicker and more choking the smoke, the better."
"What do you want to do?" Gao Kai asked curiously, "I saw smoke coming from your place just now. I almost forgot if you didn't mention it."
"What else can you do? Burn the bugs in the hole and smoke them until they don't know where to go. The effect is great."
"Oh, I understand what you mean. I will report to 101 later and get you a batch of smoke bombs with added ingredients as soon as possible... What are the insects afraid of? Chili powder or pepper noodles?"
"I didn't know, you might as well just use tear gas. That's more choking than chili pepper noodles."
"Okay. I'll ask the wolf later what he's afraid of. If the tear gas is useful, I'll send it to you directly. If there's no ready-made tear gas, I'll wait until tomorrow at best."
"besides……"
"And? Don't push yourself too far!"
"I really need it!"
"Okay, you say it!"
"It's too troublesome to check the underground cave. Four soldiers were sacrificed in just one cave. I think we must find a way to do something."
"I don't know you yet? If you have any ideas, just tell me!"
"The terrain in the cave is complex, making it difficult for conventional weapons to work, but sound can propagate along the direction of the cave. Do you think you can get an infrasound generator or something like that?"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Ye Han said, "This thing will definitely be useful in a cave. It is convenient and saves effort... Even if there is no ready-made one, it is not difficult to make one, right?"
"I can't explain this clearly. I have to ask a technical person."
"That's all for now. If you think of anything else, we'll talk about it later."
Gao Kai laughed and scolded: "You'd better stop talking. After telling you for just a moment, I've found a lot of things for myself to do. Is it okay if I keep talking? Just close the thread."
"Copy that, don't forget what I want."
Gao Kaili cut off the communication when he landed and simply stopped talking to Ye Han.
In just a short while, the three departments of logistics, installation and research and development have been involved. Each department needs to communicate carefully and explain the needs ahead in detail. It cannot be solved in one or two sentences.
If you continue talking, you may not know which sentence will involve another department.
After the communication ended, Ye Han quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Where are you?"
"We will arrive at the canyon immediately. There is a bridge on the top of the canyon, almost one kilometer away from the distress signal," Xiao Yuan said.
"Where's the time?"
"Ten minutes left."
"Is it too late?"
"no problem."
"Speed up and cross the bridge before the explosion." Ye Han said.
He has only seen ground explosions and air explosions, and has never been exposed to underground nuclear explosions. He only knows that underground nuclear experiments can cause effects similar to earthquakes on the ground.
The river valley is six kilometers away from the insect nest. The range is sufficient to avoid nuclear bombs, ground explosions and air explosions, but the power range to avoid underground nuclear explosions may not be enough.
If the bridge over the river valley is damaged by the explosion, the convoy will have to detour nearly 100 kilometers to reach the other side of the river valley.
"Yes!" Xiao Yuan agreed and immediately conveyed the order to all vehicles.
The soldiers sitting on the roof heard the order and immediately grasped the handrails beside them. Several drivers slowly stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the forward speed increased linearly.
A few minutes later, the River Valley Bridge was visible in the distance, and the convoy soon arrived near the bridge.
Ye Han's original plan was to let the convoy rush over in one go. However, after seeing the situation of the bridge clearly, he couldn't help but take a breath and immediately ordered the convoy to stop moving forward.
The bridge is a very ordinary arched steel frame structure. The condition of the steel frame seems to be pretty good, but there are cracks everywhere on the bridge deck. No matter how you look at it, it is a dangerous bridge.
