Two Hundred and Seventy Seventh Broke the News

"Other things!" Ye Han was lost in thought, "Maple Leaf's physical strength doesn't seem to be very good, but the geographical location is good, it is the backyard of the United States, and it should be no problem to deal with insect plagues.

"South America can be regarded as the backyard of the United States, but South America does not have much military strength, and it is still a hard-hit area for insects. It is hard to say whether the United States can take care of them."

"The location of Big Bear is even better. Seeing that it's winter again, there are so many bugs that can't withstand the cold current of Siberia."

"Ah San's troops and equipment have always been very funny, but he has been able to fight Lao Ba for so many years, so he should have a little bit of strength. If he can't do it, he can withstand nuclear bombs for a while."

"The Middle East is full of deserts, and it's probably impossible to cause trouble; the monkeys in the south are not invincible in terms of military strength, but if they can deal with insect plagues, they must first see what the insects are."

"Hmm... Needless to say, Africa is basically the world of army ants; Europe seems to be the only one left?"

"Europe should be fine, right?" Zhuo Haoran said, "There are so many established powers in Europe, isn't their military strength quite strong?"

Ye Han pondered: "There should be no problem with John Bull. A skinny camel is better than a horse. The sun never sets and no longer sets, and it won't even be able to defend the mainland. Hans hasn't shown his strength these years, but his strength should be very good; with the addition of the Crusaders and Dai Sheng Kingdoms who are all soldiers, defending the land should not be a problem."

"Great!" Zhuo Haoran was overjoyed.

Ye Han was stunned: "No, why are you so happy?"

Zhuo Haoran touched his nose and laughed, "My sister is studying there."

"I'll go!" Everyone looked at each other with admiration, only Xiao Yuan asked curiously: "Your sister is so powerful, why did you join the army?"

Zhuo Haoran's expression froze, and he gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice: "You don't slap someone in the face, and you don't expose your faults, why don't you open which pot and which pot you carry!"

"Just pretend I didn't ask!" Xiao Yuan joked while suppressing a smile.

Zhuo Haoran rolled his eyes: "You have finished asking what you should ask!"

The two of you come and go and fight together, but Ye Han's mind seems to fly out of this off-road vehicle.

Those previous analyzes were all based on what he said casually based on his own understanding. Ye Han could not know the real situation at all.

But he knows one thing, giant insects with carapaces have natural physical advantages, and existing mammals simply cannot match them. Reshuffle.

Wild animals are rare to see. During the expansion of giant worms, it is unknown how many endangered species will become extinct. Even if humans finally defeat the giant worms, mammals will be left under the ravages of giant worms. Few, maybe only the human race is left.

The evolution of creatures is a long process with traces to follow, but giant worms have broken this law. If it weren't for the development of human beings, the giant worms would have taken over the world long ago!

Where did puffable viruses come from?

Ye Han suddenly remembered the plot of a movie, and suddenly thought that creatures in the age of dinosaurs were generally huge in size, could it be related to the puffing virus?

If the puffing virus is an ancient microorganism dormant deep in the ground, it was revived due to an accident... I remember reading it somewhere before. In the history of biological evolution, there was a Cambrian explosion. Is it also related to this virus? related?

Ye Han couldn't hold back his agitated mood anymore, picked up the phone and took a look, the battery had been charged to 40%, and he could still receive two bars of signal!

He jumped out of the car with the phone in his hand, and immediately dialed Professor Qin's phone. The ring rang six times in a row. It wasn't until Ye Han almost gave up that Professor Qin's slightly tired voice came from the receiver: "Hey, Xiaoye!"

"Professor, do you have time?"

"What's the matter, tell me."

"Professor, you said, could the puffed virus be a prehistoric microorganism..."

"It's totally impossible." Professor Qin said categorically, "Giant insects don't just appear in one place, but appear all over the world at the same time."

Ye Han still didn't give up: "Professor, the number of fish in Jingshui Lake began to decrease two years ago, that is to say, the puffing virus had already spread to Jingshui Lake two years ago. Could it be that the microbes have been spreading for several years and only recently began to spread?" affect the size of insects?"

"It sounds reasonable, but the possibility is very small." Professor Qin said, "Prehistoric microorganisms did exist, but only in extreme environments such as Antarctic ice sheets and ancient glaciers, it is possible to survive until now, and they can be found in these places. The organizations that took ice samples from the cave all have national backgrounds, so how could the virus that was taken out be leaked?"

"Uh, that's right!" Ye Han scratched his head in embarrassment, secretly glad he didn't mention the Cambrian period.

"You came to me just for this?" Professor Qin asked.

"Of course not!" Ye Han denied instinctively, "Then what, do you know about Linyi?"

"You mean boxer ants? I know about it, why?"

Ye Han quickly found an excuse: "I want to ask you if you have any inside information."

"Inside information?" Professor Qin was dumbfounded, "What is inside information?"

"For example, how long does it take for the boxing ant pheromone to be produced?"

"It's hard to say. Boxing ants are not like giant ants. The pheromones extracted by a single one are very limited. They must break through the barrier of artificial synthesis before they can be put into actual combat."

"That's it!" Ye Han was extremely disappointed.

"Are you in Linyi?" Professor Qin asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Ye Han responded, "I watched Boxing Ant gnaw a good person into a skeleton with my own eyes. To tell you the truth, I really have no idea. How do you think this thing came from?"

"I really know a little bit about this." Professor Qin said, "Insect gigantism comes from dna mutations. Puffing virus is essentially a retrogene virus that can embed insect germ cells, thereby changing the size of its offspring and other things. Physiological characteristics..."

"Wait, what did you say, professor?" Ye Han keenly grasped the key words, "Change the shape of the offspring?"

"Yes, change the body shape of the offspring." Professor Qin said, "We have done infection experiments with different types of insects. The incubation period of the puffed virus is not as long as two years, but after the common insects are infected with the virus, there is no change in body shape, so it can only be regarded as a virus. carrier."

"Why?" Ye Han suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

"Don't worry, listen to me." Professor Qin said, "When the mating insects carry the puffing virus, their offspring will appear gigantic in size. The growth of the first generation of giant insects is very slow, but the giant insects The eggs laid are also gigantic eggs, probably because of the large size of the eggs, the second-generation giant worms are much faster than the first-generation giant worms.” (To be continued.)
