Three Hundred and Sixty-Fourth Rescue Plan

"Until we figure out the reason for the hibernation, keep it for now." The first brother said, "It's better to let the boxer ants work for me to eliminate the boxer ants. It would be even better if I can control the boxer ants like I control the giant ants."

Although the boxer ants are small in size, their destructive power is higher than that of the giant ants, and their adaptability is also stronger. Even the army of army ants occupying the whole of Africa may not be comparable to the boxer ants.

How can such a good ant species be placed at home to harm oneself? Not to mention anything else, as long as the laboratory solves the problem of boxer ant control, Brother Yi will definitely send boxer ants to neighbors in all directions, even in Africa and America, which are far away by the ocean.

Qiu Tianning smiled wryly, and brother one asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"When I came here just now, I planned to put a few nuclear bombs in the ant nest."

The first brother said: "Rescue the people first, how to deal with the ants will be discussed later."

"I have some ideas about the rescue operation." Qiu Tianning said.

Brother Yi nodded: "Say what you have to say."

"The troops closest to Linyi are at the border, but the situation on Bangdao is complicated, so it's best not to move this part of the troops for the time being."

"You can draw an army from the vicinity of Beidu. The ant nest is not a battlefield. If there are too many troops to go, the ant hole will not be able to hold it."

"Yes, and the equipment for the rescue team should also be carefully considered." Qiu Tianning said, "According to Lei Ting's report, conventional weapons are not suitable for underground use, and flamethrowers are the most suitable weapons for dealing with boxing ants."

"Then change up the rescue team!"

"The flamethrowers currently in service are all powered by explosives. The reason why this weapon is equipped is that the range is far enough, but there is no need for a long range in the cave. The jets powered by compressed air are more suitable for ant nests."

"Then hurry up and build a batch, this thing has no technical content." Brother Yi said.

"It is enough to modify the active injectors, and replace the explosives with compressed air, which is technically not difficult."

"Then solve it as soon as possible. If you need anything, just ask the Ministry of Industry for cooperation."

"It's better to equip the rescue team with fire protection suits and air tanks."

"It's okay to transfer a batch from the factory, or directly from the fire brigade." The first brother asked suddenly, "It's a pity that the power armor has not yet formed a scale. If it is a few months later, even if there is only one company's power armor The armored troop wouldn't move like this... Lao Qiu, isn't that right, the rescue troop can use air tanks, but what about the victims?"

"The victims are fine." Qiu Tianning said, "Their metabolism is one-fourth of a normal person's. The physiological functions of the whole body are almost frozen. It takes more than 40 minutes to breathe once. They need very little oxygen. It’s okay to smoke and choke, just move it outside in time, don’t dare to say if it’s too much, if you breathe three mouthfuls of smoke in two hours, you won’t be able to choke to death, right?”

"Before it happens, the situation of the victim is still unclear. If you can't light the fire, try to restrain yourself... What else do you need?"

"There are also armored vehicles." Qiu Tianning said, "The main road of the ant nest is two meters high and five to six meters wide, which is enough for small armored vehicles to enter and exit. Moreover, there are many victims in the cave. Without transportation, it is very difficult to save people."

"What kind of vehicle do you need?"

"To prevent boxing ants, a fully enclosed civilian vehicle can do the job, but considering that flamethrowers must be used in ant holes, military armored vehicles with fire-proof and explosion-suppressing capabilities are most suitable, but the height of armored vehicles in service exceeds the standard, and there is no model Can drive into an anthole."

"What about modification?"

"It will take time." Qiu Tianning said, "Remove the turret and remove the redundant equipment in the vehicle, plus a few layers of space, an armored vehicle can carry more than a dozen people."

"Only a dozen people? How many armored vehicles do you need?" The first brother had a headache, "Can't we go straight to the shaft?"

"In theory, it is possible, but the known depth of the cave is more than 300 meters. The depth of other caves may be higher, and the time required to drill the hole is not short. The rescue speed will only be slower if the victim is transported through the shaft. "

Brother Yi immediately gave up the idea: "How long does it take to modify an armored vehicle?"

"It depends on the factory.

"

The modification of armored vehicles also requires the cooperation of the industrial department. At the critical moment when the westward expansion plan is in full swing, the modification of a large number of armored vehicles does require the full cooperation of the industrial department.

"Immediately transfer the vehicles, and I will solve the problems of the manufacturers. If one family can't do it, two factories can't do it. If two factories can't do it, all the factories should be built together. If it doesn't work, all the workers in the car repair factory will also be mobilized. Armored vehicles can't be built, and they can't be dismantled. Is it?" Brother Yi said through gritted teeth.

"There are also transportation and logistics issues. Linyi has been abandoned for more than two months, and all roads and railways have been interrupted. Regardless of road mobility or rail transportation, we need to prepare in advance."

"Take the railway, I will arrange for the railway."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Brother Yi raised his head and said, "Come in!"

The secretary opened the door and entered the office: "Chief, Minister Qiu, there is news from the biological laboratory."

"Speak!" Brother Yi said.

"The laboratory said that the ants that were sent over yesterday are an unknown species, and no similar situation has been found before, so it is impossible to infer the location of this ant in the ant colony. Boxer takes good care of them, so they should be some kind of privileged class."

"only these?"

"Also, the eight boxer ants may be a special kind of worker ants. The laboratory said that the worker ants are all female ants. Previous research on boxer ants found that ordinary boxer ants will not lay eggs even if they leave the queen. Qin The professor wants to try using hormones to see if it can stimulate the ants to lay eggs. If the ants are parthenogenetic, which is rare, then just a few worker ants that can only lay eggs can also reproduce a group of ants."

Brother Yi and Qiu Tianning looked at each other, thinking of the victim's hibernation at the same time.

The first brother immediately said: "Let the biology laboratory do an experiment with orangutan monkeys to see what happens to the monkeys bitten by the ants."

"Yes, sir, what else do you want?"

"Let the lab get in touch with 301, and report any breakthroughs to each other. Also, don't just think about replacing the queen with worker ants, let the lab prepare a batch of pheromone as soon as possible. It's fine for now, so go out first."

The secretary left the office, and the first brother leaned wearily on the sofa: "Old Qiu, it would be great if the ants caught by Lei Ting were ants that can anesthetize people."

"It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?" Qiu Tianning said hesitantly, "If the opponent is not an ant with no IQ, I will definitely think that this is a trap deliberately set by the enemy."

The first brother chuckled: "The angle of standing is different, and the answer is of course different. You are used to thinking about problems from a military point of view. It's not surprising to think so."

"I hope I was wrong." Qiu Tianning said.
