Three Hundred and Seventy Seventh Opportunity Not to Be Missed

Qiu Tianning had a serious expression: "In the border areas of our country, the summer will last longer. These places are more suitable for the development of boxer ants, and the possibility of forming an ant tide is higher."

Qiao Yi's expression also became serious: "Generally speaking, locust plagues continue to break out, and the main areas of locust activity are on both sides of the border. These areas are also the places where locust swarms are most likely to form, and these areas are precisely the areas where boxers live. The main activity area..."

"That's what I want to say." The first brother said, "The spring near the border is much earlier than the spring in Siberia. After the boxer ants emerge from their nests, it is impossible to move to the colder hinterland of Siberia, and they will only migrate to the warmer south. , crossing the border is only a matter of time, and in the end we have to face the ant swarm, so why worry?"

Qiu Tianning said: "If you don't do anything this winter, you will have to pay ten times or even dozens of times the price if you want to eradicate the boxer ants next year!"

His eyes were fixed on Brother Yi, and there was a look of determination in his eyes.

The first brother hesitated for a moment and asked, "Old Qiu, if the military is authorized to use nuclear weapons, how long will it take you to eliminate the boxer ants?"

Qiu Tianning shook his head: "It's hard to say. Personally, I tend to be unable to eliminate them. I can only achieve some results when I find an ant colony. After all, boxer ants are ground-dwelling creatures."

"Old Qiu, you really stumped me." Brother Yi sighed.

"You can't know it's a hole and let our soldiers fill it in?" Qiu Tianning said.

The first brother turned to look at Qiao Yi: "Old Qiao, you understand the situation, you can contact Moscow again and say, if Moscow has no plan to exterminate the boxer ants, please allow us to take the initiative to attack."

Qiao Yi was taken aback: "Is this appropriate?"

Although there has been a lot of military cooperation between the two sides in recent years, it is still too sensitive for an established army to cross the border. Even if Maozi's high-level officials allow it, the hurdle of public opinion will not be so easy to pass.

"It's nothing inappropriate." The first brother said, "Discuss with Moscow. You can use the name of joint exercises to allow Maozi to send military observers to act with our army, or let Moscow invite you to transit in the name of civilian volunteers, and you can promise , except for the weapons that must be used to eliminate box ants, do not bring any redundant heavy weapons and equipment. All in all, the elimination of box ants is the first priority, no matter the name or status, we must give way to this one!"

Qiu Tianning's eyes were shining brightly, staring at Qiao Yi as if in reality.

"I... will do my best!" Qiao Yi gritted his teeth and agreed.

Brother Yi nodded: "Contact Moscow as soon as possible, and let me know if it succeeds or not."

"Okay, then I'll go now." Qiao Yi who left was full of worries, and his mind was full of how to communicate in order to get Maozi to agree.

It wasn't until Qiao Yi left the office that Qiu Tianning asked in a low voice: "If Moscow disagrees, what shall we do?"

"The arrow is on the string and we have to launch it." The face of the first brother was full of clouds, "We need a safe strategic rear. If we can't, we will cross the border secretly. Anyway, Maozi has no time to care about the Far East."

"Secretly crossing the border, the weapons you can bring are limited, and the infrasonic cannon will definitely not work, or... prepare a batch of highly toxic insecticides?"

"It's useless." The first brother shook his head. "The laboratory has already done experiments. Boxer ants have a very high tolerance to poisons. Conventional insecticides are useless. The laboratory has been doing experiments in this area, but until So far, no insecticide has been found that is effective in killing boxer ants."

"If it doesn't work, just pour white phosphorus into the cave, it's great to run a few more times." Qiu Tianning said. "It would be great if the boxer ants had some natural enemies, even if the laboratory artificially gigantic!"

He was also forced to come up with such a rogue-like method.

"I also asked about this. The laboratory said that ants do have natural enemies, but they disagree with artificial gigantism."

"Ah? Why?" Qiu Tianning asked puzzled.

"Professor Qin said that the natural enemies of ants are all carnivorous creatures, and they may be the same as ants after giantization, and in turn feed on humans.

"The first brother's expression was quite helpless, "The laboratory has already done experiments, and it turned a kind of insect called a bug-eating fly into a giant. As a result, this thing not only eats bugs, but also eats pigs and dogs. A meal for the bugfly. "

"It would be great if the anteater could become giant." Qiu Tianning said regretfully.

"Let's forget it." The first brother thanked Bumin, "If an anteater that can eat giant ants is created, eating people will definitely not be a problem."

"I really envy Maozi's geographical location. We still worry about how to clean up the bugs here, and there are no bugs over there." Qiu Tianning said.

"That's not how the accounts are calculated." The first brother corrected, "It's a bitterly cold place over there, and there are few insects, but the living environment is not good either!"

"I'm sure our environment is not good enough, how can we save so many bugs?" Qiu Tianning said.

Although group insects such as giant ants and locusts are basically concentrated in the north, there are also a lot of giant insects in the south. Various giant insects emerge in endlessly, and the impact on various places is becoming more and more serious. Although the north has adopted various methods to contain giant insects, but Insect control effect is very limited.

There was a time when highly toxic pesticides were widely used by the people to kill giant insects. However, only a few insects were killed, and the local ecology was polluted by highly toxic pesticides. The land and rivers were polluted on a large scale, and it did not recover in ten or eight years. However, if the local government hadn't found out that something was wrong and stopped it in time, it might have caused a lot of trouble.

The first brother sighed deeply: "The pest control plan in the north must be done well; the westward expansion plan must be accelerated to form an industrial chain as soon as possible; the defense systems of major cities must also be speeded up... Alas, there are so many things!"

The extermination of insects in the north is related to the country's strategic situation next year; the westward plan is to fully back up the country's industrial system; and the defense of major cities is related to the vitality of the entire country.

No matter what the plan is, it needs to invest a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and it will almost empty out the old bottom accumulated over decades of economic development.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the two people in the office were stunned at the same time, and brother one's face changed slightly: "Come in!"

The secretary knew who was in the office. If there was no important situation, he would never knock on the door at this time.

The secretary pushed the door open and entered: "Chief, the emergency report from the laboratory, Professor Qin has made a new discovery, which is related to the knife ant."

"Who reported it?" Brother One asked.

"Director Xu from the Xu family business called."

Brother One immediately picked up the phone on the table: "Put in Xu Jiaye's call!"

As soon as the voice fell, the phone was connected.

Xu Jiaye's anxious voice rang through the phone: "Chief, a new type of puffing virus has been found on the knife ant!" (To be continued.)
