Seven Hundred and Twenty-Seven Open Your Horizons
727 Open your horizons
Ye Han's words seemed to hit the mark, and everyone's eyes turned to Lu Ming.
Although African giant ants cannot adapt to the desert environment, they dare to enter the desert. Therefore, the speed and distance traveled by the giant ants must be clearly understood.
Lu Mingdao: "The situation is a bit complicated. According to the information we have, how far the ant colony can go after entering the desert has little to do with the ants themselves."
Zhuang Bo's eyes showed a strange color: "What does it have to do with?"
"Weather." Lu Ming gave an answer that was beyond everyone's expectations. "The ants are in the desert during the day. How far you walk depends on the temperature. When it's cool, walk farther. It's about forty kilometers or more, and no more than fifty kilometers at most. It's hot. When traveling, we can walk closer, about thirty kilometers, and the furthest is no more than thirty-five kilometers."
When he said this, everyone understood. Zhuang Bo asked again: "How far can I go?"
"The temperature at night is too low, and the giant ants don't dare to enter the desert at all."
"Oh!" Zhuang Bo suddenly realized and smiled to himself, "I forgot about this."
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is so large that it can make people cook during the day and make them want to wear cotton-padded jackets at night. Insects are not warm-blooded animals. If the temperature drops too much, the insects will lose most of their ability to move.
"What about rain? How far can you walk when it rains?"
Lu Ming twitched his lips but did not laugh, and continued: "The annual rainfall in this place is very low, but the Americans have recorded the only rainy day march of giant ants. That time a group of giant ants penetrated seventy kilometers into the desert, but the The rain came and went quickly, and those ants didn't last long after the rain stopped."
"Can I understand it this way?" Zhuang Bo said, "Unless the giant ants mutate, it is impossible to threaten the base."
"That's it for now."
"What about the beetles and sand scorpions?"
"Both of these giant insects live deep in the desert and are not found near the port. However, they are very dangerous. Everyone must be careful if they pass through the desert on a mission."
"What kind of dangerous method?" Ye Han asked.
He is the commander most likely to lead the team to perform the mission. It is necessary to understand this matter clearly.
"The giant desert beetle is also called the desert tiger beetle.
It looks similar to a dung beetle. This beetle's mouth is so powerful that it can even bite through the wheel of a car. The bite of the wheel hub is as if it has been sheared by hydraulic pressure. If this thing really takes a bite, let's not talk about the flesh, it will be crushed. You definitely can't run away from a sexual fracture. "
Everyone present was a little surprised. They had never heard of a giant insect with such a strong bite.
"Where's the sand scorpion?" Zhuang Bo asked again.
"Sand scorpions are very similar to giant ants in China. They are much larger than tiger beetles. Their main weapons are pincers and tail needles. They are not as powerful as tiger beetles' mouths, but they are still very threatening." Lu Ming said, "Actually, don't worry too much, the desert There are few creatures in the desert, including tiger beetles and sand scorpions. However, it is also because there are few prey in the desert. It is difficult for tiger beetles and sand scorpions to catch prey, so they will fight to the death when encountering living creatures. My suggestion is that once in the desert If you encounter a giant insect, you must kill it decisively as soon as possible without any hesitation."
Zhuang Bo said: "Ye Han, you have to remember this."
"Don't worry, Commander, I won't forget it." Ye Han said.
Not only did he remember these two giant insects, he also pondered why these two giant insects could survive in the desert.
The underlying reasons are hard to imagine, but the impermeable shells of tiger beetles and sand scorpions certainly play an important role. In addition, strong hunger tolerance is also essential. It is even possible that one meal can last for several months like a snake.
But there is nothing to worry about. Firstly, the possibility of entering the desert is very small. Secondly, the number of these two giant insects is very small. Even if they enter the desert, they may not be so lucky. Thirdly, no matter how dangerous the giant insects are, Even if he can't turn into a monster, he can still withstand gunfire and bombardment? If it doesn't work, the Tiangong and the space battleship are still watching.
More importantly, Zhuang Bo revealed privately that the purpose of coming to Africa this time was to fight for post-war interests, not to fight for the Yankees. When you can make soy sauce, you must make soy sauce. When you can't, you must find a way. There is also soy sauce to play. What are the chances of fighting a giant insect?
Instead of worrying about giant insects in the desert, it is more reliable to worry about giant African ants.
"Any more?"
"That's basically it," Lu Ming said.
Zhuang Bo asked seriously: "What about the situation of the garrison? Do you know the situation of the Americans, French and other countries?"
"Understood." Lu Ming said, "There are currently three main foreign military bases stationed in Djibouti. One is the American base, the other is the French base, and the third is our base. Originally, there was a Japanese base next to the American base. The Japanese base is domestic. After the insect infestation broke out, the place was ignored and everyone was evacuated. After that, the locals took over the place and now local troops live there.”
Wei Chengfei suddenly interrupted: "How is the combat effectiveness of the local troops?"
"Not very good." Lu Yu said truthfully, "Uncle Hei is too weak. Give me a militia platoon and I can defeat a company of their regular troops and still turn the corner."
Wei Chengfei smacked his lips: "At this level, giving them power armor is a waste."
Zhuang Bo smiled and said: "It's our business whether we give it or not. It's their business how they play. It's better to save money by giving armor."
Everyone knows this. The arms trade has been hugely profitable since the day it was born. If the power armor is sold to Djibouti, it will definitely be the high-priced monkey version. It is much more cost-effective to rent directly.
Having said that, with Uncle Hei's overall quality, even if he gave them the human version of the power armor, they wouldn't be able to use it.
Lu Ming laughed for a while and continued: "The current situation is that there are only French people in the French base, but the American base is about to become a United Nations base. In addition to the Americans, there are also British, Italian, and Italian bases in that base. Troops sent by Germany, Spain and Luxembourg.”
"Even Luxemburg came to join in the fun?"
"Yes, yes, but they only sent one platoon of men. The symbolic meaning is more practical. I heard that Canada is also sending people, but I don't know how many people will be sent."
Zhuang Bo said: "It shouldn't be much."
"Aren't they hardcore Americans?" Ye Han asked kindly.
"Iron is iron, but it can't keep up with their small army. After the insect plague, they expanded their army by hundreds of thousands, but what's the use of sending ordinary army troops here?"
Before the insect plague, there were only tens of thousands of troops in Canada, and it was impossible to use that little military strength. However, the focus of military expansion after the insect disaster was on the army, while the navy and air force remained basically unchanged.
What Africa needs most is a navy. It relies on naval aviation in the sky and the Marine Corps on land. It is estimated that Canada is more likely to send a fleet of aircraft to help the Americans support the situation.
