Four Hundred and Thirty Third, the Hungry Queen

Giant ants have a large body and a high food intake. Breeding giant ants requires a lot of food, and it is difficult to find animals in forests that have been ravaged by giant insects and white eggs. Insect trees are the only food that giant ants can find.

Considering that the insect tree will wither in a very short time after it matures, it is necessary to place the queen ant in a place where there are many insect trees to ensure that the ant colony can obtain enough food, otherwise not only the newborn giant ants will starve due to lack of food Stomach, the ant colony will also stagnate due to food shortages, and even the queen is in danger of starving to death.

There is only one insect tree in this place, and it is a near-mature insect tree, so it cannot be used as a breeding ground for ant colonies at all.

Several people returned to Ye Han, Xiao Yuan looked at Chongshu and asked, "Boss?"

Ye Han made a gesture, and Xiao Yuan took out an oversized syringe knowingly, took out half a bottle of medicine from the medicine bottle he carried, aimed at the weak part at the bottom of the tree crown, and injected the liquid in the syringe canopy.

The medicine bottle is filled with powerful insecticide, which can effectively kill the insect eggs in the canopy, but this thing must be injected into the canopy to work. It is currently the most effective way to deal with insect trees.

After the injection, Xiao Yuan put away the syringe and medicine bottle, nodded to Ye Han and said, "Okay." There is no need to worry about cross-infection when dealing with Chongshu, as one syringe can be used many times.

Everyone returned the same way, and the convoy continued along the dirt road to the depths of the forest. The deeper it went into the forest, the more bumpy the road became. Chi Wei couldn't help complaining: "This is such a broken road, it's better to go straight to the woods."

An Dongli said: "This should be an earth road left by logging. My house is in a forest area, and there are such earth roads everywhere in the mountains."

"You can still cut trees now?" Chi Wei was surprised, "Didn't it be banned a long time ago?"

"What the state prohibits is indiscriminate logging. Planned logging is fine." An Dongli said, "According to the regulations, to build three acres of artificial forests with a survival rate of 85%, two acres of the same type of over-mature forests can be harvested. That's what it means."

"Hey, I know a lot, what does your family do?" Chi Wei asked curiously.

"Businessmen, save some wood," said Antony.

Chi Wei suddenly realized: "No wonder, the family has a long history!"

Ye Han almost burst out laughing: "What nonsense, you kid is using idioms again!"

"Am I not right?" Chi Wei spread his arms innocently, with a tone of grievance.

"Captain, there are many insect trees ahead!" An Dongli said suddenly.

"How?" Ye Han lifted the top cover and got out of the car, looked at the insect trees of different heights in the distance, and nodded with satisfaction, "Brothers are starting work!"

The soldiers acted immediately. Under the leadership of Ye Han, they approached the worm forest, carefully checked whether there were any white eggs that had not taken root nearby, searched for the giant worms hidden in the dark, and after confirming that there was no danger that threatened the queen, several soldiers came from the truck. Unload the box containing the queen and carefully lift it to the vicinity of the worm forest.

Ye Han observed carefully, roughly judged the growth time of the insect tree, pointed to an empty space and said, "Just put it there."

The soldiers carried the box to the open space, and Ye Han gestured to the soldiers to move away.

When the soldiers dispersed, Ye Han opened the lid of the box to disperse the anesthetic gas in the box. Before the queen ant woke up, she took out an empty glass bottle, opened the lid and placed it beside the queen ant.

The chemical substances in the glass bottle quickly awakened the queen ant. The young ant queen turned its tentacles and quickly regained its ability to move. It moved its slender insect legs to an insect tree, and its wide and powerful jaws were deeply planted. Penetrated into the trunk of the tree, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

"This guy has a good appetite, it's the first time I've seen an ant queen looking for food by herself." Xiao Yuan said unexpectedly.

The queens sent out from the laboratory are all finished products after mating. As long as they are sent to the field, they will find a place to dig holes to lay eggs and hatch chemical ants.

Ye Han thought for a while and said, "Is it because the worm trees stored in the laboratory have been eaten up?" In order to cultivate giant ants to eat worm trees, and also to save limited resources, the laboratory put many worms in the process of cultivating queen ants. Trees serve as fodder.

Xiao Yuan sighed: "No way, just wait."

The released queen ant must dig a hole into the ground to be considered successful. It is not easy to cultivate the queen ant in the laboratory. Ye Han and others must ensure the safety of the queen until the big guy goes underground.

The queen ant's appetite was unbelievable, and she brought down a worm tree in a short while, and threw herself on the worm tree to feast on it.

Xiao Yuan's heart suddenly rose: "Boss, nothing will happen, right?"

The canopy of the insect tree contains a high concentration of puffing virus. According to the research of the National Biological Laboratory, this puffing virus is significantly different from the first and second generation puffing viruses. It is not yet known what effect this puffing virus has on insects. If the queens are exposed to the three-generation puffing virus too early, uncontrolled mutations are likely to occur. Therefore, the laboratory recommends that queens should avoid exposure to viruses as much as possible.

The puffing virus has the characteristics that the parents do not mutate and the offspring mutate. As long as there is no problem with the queen ant, the state of the newborn giant ants can be guaranteed to be stable. Under the influence of three generations of puffing virus, the devil knows what was born in the end.

"Wait and see." Ye Han gritted his teeth, "Anzi, aim at the queen ant and prepare to shoot, and fire after receiving my order."

"Understood!" An Dongli agreed, and the turret on the armored vehicle turned to the worm forest, aiming steadily at the munching ant queen.

"Boss, is there no puffing virus in the tree trunk?" Xiao Yuan asked again.

"It doesn't seem to be... I can't remember clearly, day, let me ask." Ye Han angrily connected the radio, and through the satellite receiving device, a communication was going to Beidu.

Beidu immediately contacted the laboratory, and after confirming that there was no puffing virus in the trunk of the insect tree, Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, there is no virus in the trunk, look at it, and kill it as soon as it reaches the crown."

"Okay!" Xiao Yuan agreed, adjusted the telescopic magnification of the helmet, and pulled the queen ant to observe carefully.

At this time, the queen ant had already gnawed off most of the tree trunk, and her eating speed gradually slowed down. Xiao Yuan observed the canopy deliberately, making sure that the canopy was not damaged in any way, and then put his heart back into his stomach.

At this moment, there was a sudden low buzzing sound in the distance, and Xiao Yuan immediately became alert: "Boss!"

"I heard it." Ye Han said, "Anzi, give me the target location!"

An Dongli's eyes scanned the radar: "The target is located at about 22 degrees east by north, at a distance of 320."

"Received!" Ye Han turned his eyes to the east and north, raised his arms and shouted, "Pay attention to vigilance and prepare to fight!" (To be continued.)
