Chapter 316: Female Worm Crisis
The command room suddenly froze.
Zhou Xing's harsh words scared everyone.
"Zhou, it's not that serious, there's only one enemy, how can it endanger the entire earth?"
"Yes, Zhou, you're too much! It's just a giant worm, it won't have that much influence. ”
"Zhou's statement is too scary, Professor, what do you think so?"
"Zhou, why do you say that?
“……。 ”
As Zhou Xing, the weight of his words is very heavy, although he does not believe Zhou Xing's judgment, however, the observers have to pay attention to it and ask questions.
Professor Manli frowned deeply, thinking about Zhou Xing's thoughts, but he didn't know what he wanted.
Zhou Xing sighed and introduced: "This giant insect species reproduction mode is He bee, ant similar to a true social species, the population reproduction and continuation can be completed by only a full-time production of the female worm, the appearance of the digging giant insect may not be like a full-time production of the female worm, but once this kind of biota is free from the influence of the mother worm, there will be a high probability of genetic mutation, mutation of a new female worm, and the establishment of a population on a strange planet." ”
Zhou Xing's words were like an exploding nuclear bomb, blowing everyone up at once.
General Stone's expression changed drastically, he looked at Professor Manley and asked, "Professor, is this really the case!?"
Professor Manli didn't seem to hear General Ston's question, he looked at Zhou Xing with admiration, and sighed in his heart, Zhou Xing once again reminded them with wisdom and intelligence, and strongly invited Zhou Xing to come over to help, which was really an incomparably wise decision.
The way giant insects reproduce is indeed highly similar to the earth's bees, ants, termites and other insects, and the full-time production of female insects can be genetically evolved, or produced by certain factors, such as the way bees try to be queen bees is to let ordinary larvae eat royal jelly, and if the ant colony loses its queen, there will be ordinary ant larvae mutated into new queens.
With the strong genetic characteristics of the giant insect species, it is very likely that a surviving special giant worm will mutate into a new female worm after leaving the original population.
"Professor?" General Ston looked at Professor Manley in bewilderment.
Professor Manli turned his head, looked at General Ston with a wry smile on his face, nodded and said with certainty: "General, Zhou, what you said is very right, this possibility is very high, we must kill it in the shortest possible time, otherwise let it lay eggs and we will really be finished." ”
Hearing Professor Manley's affirmative answer, everyone's luck instantly vanished.
"No......! ”
"It's scary, we've got to dig it up. ”
"Quick, General, if you want any cooperation, just say it!
"Zhou, you have a way, right!
“……。 ”
The observers' faces changed drastically, they looked at General Ston, and Zhou Xing pleaded.
Listening to the words of the observers from various countries, General Situn suddenly felt tricky, his head was as big as a cow, and the defense of the insect in the ground was very strong, so he didn't die and burrowed into the ground again, how to solve it now!
General Ston looked at Zhou Xing and asked for help: "Zhou, do you have any good suggestions? Its defense capability is too strong for conventional weapons to deal with it, and now it has burrowed into the ground again, how can we destroy it?"
After hearing General Ston's request for help, Zhou Xing smiled bitterly and asked, "General, you can't always rely on me to find a way to solve the problem! Isn't chasing and killing prey what you're good at?"
"Zhou, it's not ordinary prey, please. General Stone's voice was low and helpless.
"Mr. Zhou, those who are capable work hard, and the life and death of the entire human race are all counting on you!" Chen Lin looked at Zhou Xing with an eager face and said solemnly.
"Don't, don't! I can't afford this responsibility!" Zhou Xing waved his hand, looked at Chen Lin and nodded with a wry smile: "I will do my best." ”
After speaking, Zhou Xing's mind turned, watched everyone introduce their thoughts, and said: "That bug has already burrowed into the ground, let the robot or drone track its whereabouts first, don't let it leave our field of vision, otherwise it will be even more difficult." ”
General Ston nodded, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to carry it out.
After giving the order, General Ston reminded Zhou Xing: "Zhou, it's okay to track its whereabouts in the short term, but if it drills too deep, we can't solve it." ”
"Yes, conventional weapons have no effect on it, and the location is under the Gate of Miracles, so you can't use heavy weapons or strategic weapons, the situation is very troublesome!" Zhou Xing sighed and looked at General Ston.
General Ston frowned, his expression was quite helpless, there was really no good way to solve such a prey.
"Professor, does it need to breathe? Can we suffocate it?" General Ston asked suddenly, looking at Professor Manley.
Listening to General Ston's question, Professor Manley's eyes lit up slightly, but he shook his head regretfully, and said: "I'm afraid this won't work, I dissected the body of the sicklefoot insect in detail, although this species breathes oxygen, however, there is a special sulfide in their body that stores an air sac in the chest cavity, which can be circulated and replaced in the body to achieve a long-term breath-holding effect, and the burrowing giant worm may also have this function." ”
General Stone's face darkened slightly, and he nodded regretfully.
"General, you've found your target. At this moment, the operator of the command platform reminded everyone.
Hearing this, everyone invariably looked at the big screen, and in their eyes, an underground picture of a dark picture shook and appeared.
"Crackling" a burst of stones fell, and the sound of continuous trembling came out of the stereo continuously.
General Stone's face changed, and he asked the operator, "Can you calculate the speed of its excavation?"
"General, its excavation speed is about 1 hour and 5 kilometers. The operator nodded, looking at General Ston and reported.
Hearing this, General Ston's face changed, and he looked at Zhou Xing and urged nervously: "So fast? It won't be long before it runs away, Zhou, you hurry up and find a way!"
"General, this speed is the speed at which it is racing in the '100 meters', and it should not be able to last. Zhou Xing stared at the command screen and said conclusively.
"Well, it's in a state of panic right now, so it's doing its best, and at normal speed, it's going to dig 2-3 kilometers in an hour. Professor Manley looked at the big screen, nodded, and speculated.
Chen Lin couldn't help but ask aloud: "Hurry up and make a decision! It is getting farther and farther away from us, and now it is one hundred and sixty meters, shall we drop a bomb?"
"Try the submunition, if it can penetrate its thick armor, it will definitely blow it by exploding inside it. An observer suggested.
"The path it digs is twisted and twisted, and it can't hit the target!" General Ston reminded helplessly.
Zhou Xing suddenly thought of something, and said loudly: "Maybe I have a way." ”
Hearing this, everyone's spirits were shocked, and their eyes lit up together, great! Zhou Xing has a way again!
