One Hundred and Fifty First Turns
This incident caught Ye Han's attention. He became very interested in the biological conditions in the forest, and began to pay attention to the distribution of living things in the forest.
He is not a biologist. The reason why he cares about this issue is to know how many creatures can survive in a forest infested by giant ants.
Ye Han discovered that the large creatures in the forest have completely disappeared. Whether it is large mammals or giant insects, they cannot escape the poison of giant ants. On the contrary, the small and fast squirrels are still active.
This is not surprising. Ants that act in groups are simply cheating species. Large creatures cannot escape the killing of giant ants. No matter mammals or giant insects, as long as giant ants can catch them, they cannot escape the claws of giant ants.
The ecological balance in the forest has been seriously out of balance due to the giant ants. As time goes by, this situation will only become more serious. It is not possible to reverse the situation until the giant ants are completely eliminated!
However, there are also some creatures, such as butterflies and other flying insects, who can live well in the terrifying environment where giant ants are ravaging.
The observation found that the habitats of these flying insects do not overlap with the giant ants. When the giant ants come out to hunt during the day, these flying insects are basically flying in the sky, and the giant ants cannot catch them anyway. At night, the flying insects choose places to live after the giant ants return to their nests to rest. Fortunately, they staggered the hunting time of the giant ants, and they survived safely until now.
These flying insects have some common characteristics, such as small size, can fly for a long time or inhabit the top of the tree canopy; basically feed on plants, and do not need to compete for increasingly scarce animal food sources.
In short, flying insects are a group of little guys who are lucky to survive because they have no intersection with giant ants.
From this, Ye Han found out the reason for the scarcity of giant mosquitoes—they were almost eaten up by giant ants!
The primeval forest is full of water puddles, which are natural mosquito hatcheries. Unfortunately, mosquitoes are diurnal and nocturnal creatures. They attack everywhere when it gets dark, and land to rest after dawn. Their living habits are completely opposite to those of giant ants. There are so many, all you can catch are good food!
It is a strange thing that the giant mosquito is not dead.
However, the idea above is to eliminate all abnormal bugs, and flying insects are naturally among them.
Undoubtedly, this task fell to the Giant Insect Control Center again.
Professor Qin, who had just returned to the northern capital, was ordered in the face of danger because of his great success in the process of eradicating giant ants.
After comprehensively analyzing the information obtained from various aspects, Professor Qin and his team quickly came up with a feasible plan and reported it to the senior management of Beidu.
The high-level request is to eliminate flying insects quickly, effectively and economically. The answer given by Professor Qin is still the same words: use insects to control insects!
Professor Qin pointed out in his report that the emergence of giant insects is not an accidental phenomenon, but a collective evolution under the influence of various factors. Any kind of insect has the potential to become giant, and insect disasters are showing a trend of outbreaks worldwide. It is foreseeable that for a long period of time to come, this life-and-death war between humans and giant worms will continue.
The number and distribution of pests in China are not significantly different from those in foreign countries. With the support of strong national power, the detection of pests in various places can be quickly eliminated, so that the aggravation of pests can be avoided, and the people have an illusion that domestic pests are not serious.
Through the research, it is found that the number of pest outbreaks is very low in densely populated areas with relatively poor resources, and dangerous giant insects basically appear in major primeval forest areas. Among all the primeval forest areas where insect plagues broke out, the Heishan forest area is the most special area.
This special point is the giant ants that have ravaged more than half of Linzhou Province and are still ravaging the locust-infested area!
The existence of giant ants strongly compresses the living space of other giant insects, and objectively plays a preventive role, preventing the outbreak of other types of insect disasters in the Heishan forest area. If all the giant ants in the Heishan forest area are wiped out, the consequences are very likely It is the resurgence of other pest plagues.
Such as giant praying mantis and giant mosquito.
The report also considers that
At present, the research on giant ants has achieved phased results, which has cleared the way for the cultivation of ant colonies to eliminate insect disasters. It is possible to retain ant colonies and even control ant colonies. Under this premise, it is absolutely unnecessary to exterminate all giant ants in the Black Mountain forest area. Giant ants should even be placed in virgin forests in other areas to curb the growing pest outbreak.
This report shocked the top leaders of Beidu, and the top leaders immediately held a hearing. Top biological experts from all over the country gathered together to analyze the inferences in the report.
Beidu doesn't care about the academic value of the report at all, but only cares about the conclusion of the report - the eradication of giant ants will lead to an unforeseen insect disaster in the forest area of Heishan!
This conclusion is somewhat earth-shattering, but reasonable.
Beidu had to make a choice between preserving the giant ants to contain them and eliminating them, and weighing the pros and cons, Beidu immediately issued the highest instruction to the participating troops in the Heishan forest area: suspend action and stand by!
As soon as this order came out, the participating troops who marched with all their strength were in an uproar. It was not until the troops received the official documents issued by their superiors that they understood the reason.
Soon, the task of the troops changed from eliminating giant ants to controlling giant ants, while eliminating other types of giant insects as much as possible.
The size of the flying insects is not large, but they are suppressed by the giant ants, and the big ones are eaten up by the giant ants. Once the giant ants disappear, all kinds of flying insects are likely to become giant again.
However, there are many flying insects in the forest area, and they are not as organized and rooted as ants. It is not so difficult to eliminate those flying insects that run around and commit crimes like guerrillas.
But the reason why people are human is because they have wisdom and know what it means to take advantage of the situation and follow the situation.
Before the superiors came up with a suitable plan, the troops used their brains and came up with many ways to eliminate flying insects.
For example, light an insect-killing lamp on a pond to lure flying insects to fall into the pond and drown to death... This is the old method of lighting to lure insects.
Another example is to suggest to the superiors to study the pheromones of flying insects, and use pheromones to trap and kill flying insects... This is a taste of the sweetness of pheromones to kill ants, changing the soup without changing the medicine.
And Ye Han immediately handed over a report to Long Jianguo, Long Jianguo applauded loudly after reading it, and immediately passed it on to his superiors.
The content of the report is very simple: aerial spraying of ethyl acetate to anesthetize the flying insects, and then... well, don't worry about it after that, the hungry giant ants will clean up all the flying insects that fall on the ground.
This plan is simple, effective, low in cost, less damaging to the ecology of the forest area, and does not require troops to go deep into the forest area. It is simply an insect extermination plan customized for the Black Mountain forest area. Although ordinary insects will be anesthetized by ethyl acetate, their size Too small, and the giant ants are not interested at all.
