201 Analysis Session (2)

"Fake ant queen?" General Qiu was taken aback.

"Yes, the fake queen." Xu Jiaye nodded and explained, "The queen is the core of the ant colony. In addition to laying a large number of eggs, the queen also has another role to use chemical substances to suppress the reproductive instinct of worker ants. When the ant colony loses its queen, worker ants will resume their ability to lay eggs. Under normal circumstances, the eggs laid by worker ants cannot hatch, but giant ants themselves are mutant creatures. It is difficult to say whether their eggs can hatch, so they must be controlled by fake queens. Ant colony, avoid worker ants laying eggs."

"Oh—" Everyone suddenly realized.

Xu Jiaye continued: "Control the real queen in your hands, use the fake queen to control the ant colony, use the eggs to control the size of the ant colony, and use pheromones to prevent giant ants from hurting people. This is the plan we have developed for using giant ants. As long as the pheromones are in place, it is completely safe to use ant colonies in cities, and our soldiers can even act together with accompanying giant ants!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the conference room, and everyone was shocked by the prospect Xu Jiaye described.

"Are you sure?" one attendee asked eagerly.

"Yes!" Xu Jiaye was full of confidence, "Ants have poor eyesight, and they rely on pheromones to identify the enemy and the enemy. I can guarantee this."

"When will the giant ants go into battle?" Chief No. 1 showed an eager expression for the first time.

"It can be put into the battlefield at any time, but the production capacity of the research institute is limited, and the ant colony we control is very small."

"Then hurry up and find a way to expand the ant colony!"

"We have some ideas." Xu Jiaye said, "The giant locusts killed in Linzhou tonight are countless. If we send the giant ants there right now, we can use the giant locusts on the battlefield to expand the ant colony!"

"Good idea!" Chief No. 1 nodded, "But can you ensure that the giant ants don't get out of control?"

Although Xu Jiaye had repeatedly assured him, Chief No. 1 still asked a question uneasy.

Xu Jiaye replied cautiously: "The pheromone must be released before the giant ants can be released, otherwise it is still dangerous to get close to the giant ants, but we can control the action range of the giant ants through pheromones."

Chief No. 1 looked at General Qiu: "Find out the situation as soon as possible, and give the institute an accurate news!"

"Good!" General Qiu nodded.

Chief No. 1 looked at Xu Jiaye again: "If the research institute is relocated from now on, how long will it take for new ants to grow?"

"It takes at least half a month to go into battle, and it takes about a month to fully grow."

"One month?" In another month, it will snow in the north, and all giant locusts can be wiped out without giant ants! said a voice.

"What about cockroaches? Can giant cockroaches freeze to death?" Xu Jiaye asked back.

The man was at a loss for words.

"Also, giant locusts can fly. According to what we know, this kind of giant locust from the north has much better flying ability than ordinary locusts. It can already fly at low altitude, so the locust swarm moves very fast. , if it is not stopped, the locust swarm will leave the north in a short time, and once the locust swarm enters the hinterland of our country, the loss of food will not be as simple as one-third!"

"That's the deal with the ants." Chief No. 1 said, "Cultivate the ant colony as soon as possible. Whether we can make a comeback or not depends on whether you can cultivate the ant colony well!"

"Yes, we will do our best."

"I believe you can do your best, don't let me down... What else is there?" Chief No. 1 couldn't help asking curiously when he saw that there were still a few pages of documents in Xu Jiaye's hand.

Xu Jiaye replied: "There is also a pest analysis report."

"Tell me."

"According to the analysis of the situation we have so far, insect disasters, especially large-scale insect disasters, generally occur in places with better natural environment and relatively sparse population, such as virgin forests and large lake water systems, such as Jingshui Lake, Montenegro, and Siberia. We suggest that similar areas must strengthen monitoring,

To borrow the words of the chief, we should prevent problems before they happen and avoid repairing them after they are done. "

Chief No. 1 smiled lightly, signaling Xu Jiaye to continue.

"Of course, everyone knows that there are giant cockroaches in places with harsh natural environments, but they are basically not large-scale and the number is very small. At present, only giant cockroaches appear in densely populated cities."

"So far, no large-scale giant insects have been found in the coastal areas. Although there are no insects in the sea, there are many arthropods. Fortunately, no signs of giantization of aquatic arthropods have been found in the monitoring. This is no matter for my country or other coastal countries. , It’s all good news, I can’t imagine how scary it would be for those shrimp soldiers and crabs to grow as big as blue whales.”

"What's the reason?" one participant asked curiously.

"It may be because the seawater is too salty, and the puffed virus is not salt-tolerant." Xu Jiaye said it humorously, but no one was in the mood to laugh.

"Is there any basis?" the man asked again.

"Yes, we have done several experiments. Seawater can indeed effectively kill the puffing virus, but this is of no use other than to ensure that marine organisms do not mutate." Xu Jiaye paused at this point, "But this conclusion is in the research There is also debate within the center, and the reason for the debate is the presence of giant land crabs on several islands in the Pacific Ocean."

"Giant land crab?" Several participants licked their lips subconsciously, looking eager to try.

"Yes, strictly speaking, it is a kind of crab that lives on the tidal flats. Their body size has undergone giant enlargement, because the tidal flats are submerged under seawater for half a day, so there is another view that seawater cannot kill puffy crabs. Viruses, at least they cannot kill puffed viruses in organisms, but all the data come from foreign research, and it is not yet certain whether the research results are accurate."

Everyone whispered for a while.

The coast is the essence of the country's economy. Once marine life joins the ranks of giants, the consequences are unpredictable.

Chief No. 1 tapped the table lightly, and everyone immediately shut their mouths tightly. Chief No. 1 said: "Regardless of whether the puffing virus will affect marine life, coastal cities must be prepared and establish observation stations in time to prevent problems before they happen... ...is there any more?"

"Yes, we also found that the action of giant worms is very regular, generally moving from areas with higher altitudes to areas with lower altitudes. This is probably because the air density in high-altitude areas is low and the oxygen content is not as good as in low-altitude areas. The gigantic shape of insects requires more oxygen; there is another guess that insects belong to ectothermic animals, and the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, and the low temperature is not conducive to the action of insects."

"Is there any significance to this finding?" one participant asked curiously.

Xu Jiaye replied: "The high-altitude areas are sparsely populated, and the low-altitude areas are the essence. Knowing the action rules of the giant insects will help to establish a defense line in advance and stop the giant insects in time."
