1906 Earth Ecology Report

Ye Han quickly found a special report. The title of the document was particularly eye-catching. It was actually called the Earth Ecology Report. There was also a subtitle below called Investigation on the Situation of Wild Giant Insects.

Ye Han was a little confused. The report was not strange, and the investigation was nothing, but the fact that these two documents appeared in the notice sent to him was a bit unusual.

He opened the report curiously and started from the beginning carefully.

However, Ye Han did not expect that the report was talking about the Jinghu Lake incident at the beginning, briefly describing the process of the giant insects appearing on the earth. As a witness of the Jinghu Lake incident, this section was really not interesting.

The second paragraph finally gets to the point. It talks about the current situation of the earth. Due to the strong counterattack of mankind, wild insect groups in all continents except Africa and South America have been devastated. Currently, there are no disaster-level giant insects. This kind of insect swarm is precisely the insect swarm that is most easily controlled by aliens, and it is also the insect swarm that poses the greatest threat to humans.

However, all parties only carried out strong attacks on large-scale insect swarms, but opened the door to wild solitary giant insects and small-scale insect swarms without populations. Not only did they not eliminate them, but they condoned them.

Ye Han knows something about this. The reason why countries ignore these unorganized loose insects is because they don't have the time, and because the harm of loose insects is relatively small.

However, this phenomenon has aroused strong dissatisfaction among people from all over the world, and they have called for the complete eradication of giant insects in the wild.

But are giant insects in the wild so easy to kill? Countries have long agreed that not only cannot they kill indiscriminately, they must also be protected!

Isn't it strange? of course not.

The ecological balance of the earth has long been broken by insect plagues. First, the wild animal population was basically extinct, and later alien plants also got involved.

As we all know, alien plants are extremely tenacious and they constantly occupy the living space of native plants. Only a few native plants can compete with alien plants.

Wild giant insects have developed a complete food chain over more than ten years, including a large number of herbivorous giant insects and a smaller number of carnivorous giant insects.

In other words, the vast majority of wild giant bugs feed on plants, and they prefer to eat fat alien plants rather than native plants on Earth!

This has, to a certain extent, slowed down the speed of alien plants occupying living space, indirectly protected native plants, and played a very important role in maintaining the ecological balance of the earth.

As the report says,

The significance of wild giant insects to the earth today is equivalent to the wild animal population before the insect disaster. They should not and cannot be simply and rudely wiped out!

And this situation is unlikely to change for a long time. In the foreseeable future, wild giant insects will definitely be the largest wild animal population on the earth.

Ye Han couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. Although the report didn't say it, he knew personally that the coalition forces had put all their forces into strategic counterattacks and couldn't spare any manpower to clear out the wild giant insects.

Moreover, wild giant bugs are not that easy to clean up. Their footprints are all over the world. They are unorganized but their numbers are astonishingly large. With humanity’s current military strength, completely eradicating the insect swarm is a joke. Even if the aliens are completely eliminated, the wild giant bugs are wiped out. Insects are also a huge challenge.

With Ye Han's knowledge, the only way he could think of was to let time wash away the stains and let the wild giant insects fend for themselves.

This process will definitely not take hundreds or thousands of years to complete. It may take millions or even tens of millions of years. Only when the native organisms in the ocean land again can new populations of native organisms gradually develop.

Ye Han seems to have heard somewhere that there have been several mass extinctions of life on earth. Judging from the current situation of the earth, insect plagues are mass extinctions of life in an absolute sense. So, will the past few times be the same? reason?

Just thinking about it for a moment, Ye Han couldn't help but shiver.

If the dinosaurs became extinct because of alien invasion, if the trilobites became extinct because of aliens, what else would become extinct?

Life lasts only a few decades, and we can only use our imagination to witness the passage of time, as well as the long-term changes in the world.

However, the survey report does not think so. The author believes that there are two scenarios for future development. One is that the earth's environment is not suitable for the survival of giant insects, and giant insects are extinct. By then, the wild species that survived the insect disaster will have huge room for development. As long as Without human interference, the earth's wild animal populations will of course recover soon, and the speed here is measured in geological time.

The second is that giant insects are increasingly adapting to the earth's environment, rapidly developing insect populations of various sizes, large, medium and small, and finally becoming the truly dominant population on the earth. By that time, humans will be more like immigrants.

There are three reasons for making these two judgments. First, global temperatures are still rising slowly, and the climate is becoming more and more suitable for insects to survive.

Second, giant insects are extremely adaptable to the environment and may evolve rapidly as the environment changes, eventually taking over the earth.

The third and most important point is the terrifying fertility of giant worms. Although the number of giant worms is limited by the environment and cannot expand without limit, the reproductive advantage is definitely an important factor that cannot be ignored.

Fortunately, this report is just a hypothesis, and after making this assumption, a very detailed analysis of the defects of the giant bug itself was made from the body structure and living habits of the giant bug. It is believed that the giant bug itself is a biological entity. Yes, without aliens helping the giant bugs cheat, the wild giant bug population is likely to collapse faster than expected.

The report also listed the most important wild giant bug species on each continent, listed giant bugs that like to eat alien plants as beneficial, listed those that like to eat native plants as harmful, listed those that like to eat giant bugs separately, and finally listed some Giant insects with certain economic value are singled out and discussed, especially those with important economic value, which are the focus.

Ye Han was not surprised to see the discussion of the giant snail, and thought to himself that the author might also be a foodie!

At the end of the report, the author believes that whether the giant insect develops or collapses, it will seriously affect the global ecological balance. Therefore, it is recommended that high-level officials must be prepared for both aspects and intervene decisively when necessary to avoid an avalanche collapse of the ecosystem.

Seeing this, Ye Han finally understood what this ecological report wanted to say. He felt that the author might have good intentions, but the content of the report was a bit alarmist.

The earth has experienced so many mass extinctions, but life on earth has still developed to this day. No matter what impact the giant insects have on the global ecology, it is only a short-term pain.
