Chapter 807: Familiar Upgrade
The army of red ants in the scenic area has methodically invaded every place, including the man-made facilities in the scenic area. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The most famous thing in Longtan Scenic Area is the swing rope, which is a large swing between two dirt mountains, and tourists used to spend hundreds of dollars to experience it.
The giant swing consists of two thick hemp ropes, with a protective wire on the outside to ensure that it will not break. Between the two ropes, there is a disc-shaped artificial cable car that can accommodate twenty people.
Now, the sea of red ants is starting to make its way towards the giant swing. Everyone at the scene saw this scene, but they didn't know what the ants were going to do, and they were going to eat the swing.
Li Shaoyang looked at the swing, quickly calculated the length of the rope and the height of the cable car being thrown in his mind, and couldn't help but tremble: "They want to occupy the swing, and then use the swing to throw the army out!" ”
Everyone was stunned, and the old horse on the side shook his head in disbelief: "Impossible, ants are a group of active creatures, and all behaviors are based on the survival of the race, and they will never take the initiative to attack." ”
But as soon as the old horse finished speaking, everyone saw that the swing was swinged.
Originally, this giant swing needed the engines on both sides to drive the noose to shake, but now the two thick hemp ropes were full of red ants, and these ants were in the thousands, completely occupying the two ropes, and then neatly flapping their wings, and the wind began to shake the hemp ropes.
In the cable car between the hemp ropes, it was crowded with ant death squads that had not evolved wings, but had sharp claws, and with the shaking of the hemp ropes, the cable car was thrown high, and then the red death squads inside bravely jumped out, and their first targets turned out to be the armored vehicles of the front defense forces.
Two armored vehicles urgently avoided it, but more and more ants were thrown at it, and finally one of them was hit.
This Type 95 infantry fighting vehicle is not sealed, there are observation windows and weapon windows in front, when the red ant death squad fell, although a lot of them were killed, and some of them did not reach the tank, but hundreds of ants who successfully reached the tank quickly got into the tank, and there were screams of several fighters inside.
The other soldiers hurriedly opened the car door, dragged their comrades out of the room, and slapped the ants on him desperately.
Rahu flew away, stretched out his hand and struck out with a cloud of cold spiritual power, shaking the ants on the three warriors' bodies, and then crushing them with one foot.
Of the three fighters who were recruited, two were seriously injured, and one died on the spot because he was drilled into the heart by an ant.
For the first time, there were casualties on the human side, and although the ant side died more, the two sides were not an order of magnitude after all.
If 10,000 ants are exchanged for one person, then less than 1,000 soldiers on the scene will not be able to fight against hundreds of millions of ants.
"Old horse, what are the natural enemies of this ant? Is there any way to eliminate them? The deputy mayor asked anxiously.
Lao Ma looked at the tragic scene, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and said in a low voice: "Ants are actually very fragile creatures, afraid of water and fire, generally we deal with ants by directly pouring cement into its anthill, and then killing the queen ant." As long as the queen ant dies, a nest of ants loses its backbone. ”
"In this situation, there is no anthill and queen ant at all, this is the ant taking the initiative to attack." Gu Mengxun walked over and said coldly: "If you want to talk about the natural enemies of ants, the most powerful ones are anteaters, especially the southern food ant beasts, their mouths are as slender as tubes, their tongues can pop out for several meters, and they have mucus on them......"
Before Gu Mengxun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shaoyang: "That's unrealistic, let's not say that these ants can evolve according to the environment, even if they can't evolve, to deal with this group of ants, at least a thousand anteaters, where do you go?" ”
Gu Mengxun snorted: "That's not impossible, but we have to solve the evolution problem of these ants, they ......."
She froze as she said this, a look of disbelief in her eyes.
Everyone turned their heads stupidly, and saw that among the red ant colony, a huge buffalo-like super ant appeared at some point, it seemed to come out of the ground, this body shape was really terrifying, its slender tentacles, terrifying jaws and fine hairy claws were displayed in front of everyone.
The shell, which originally looked smooth, also had layers of spiky hairs bulging.
"Then, that's the leader of the soldier ants, oh my God, there really is such a mutant ant!" The old horse was almost jumping, and it was difficult for others to understand him, and for someone like him who had worked with ants all his life, there was nothing more exciting than witnessing it with his own eyes.
Everyone was looking at this strange giant ant, and a fireball suddenly appeared on its side, and the huge impact shook everyone nearby to the ground.
At the critical moment, Luo Hu protected the mayor and the others with a spiritual force, and Li Shaoyang reacted quickly to throw Gu Mengxun to the ground and protect her. Although Li Shaoyang knew very well that Gu Mengxun had strange electromagnetic energy, this gesture of protection was his intentional behavior.
Sure enough, Gu Mengxun glanced at him gratefully: "Thank you, it's still hello, you still know how to save me at this time." ”
It was the armored vehicle that exploded, and the ants inside were all cleaned up, but no one could have imagined that a small red ant got into the ammunition depot of the combat vehicle, and I don't know how to detonate the ammunition inside.
"Let the chariots back and the soldiers back off, and build a concrete defense 500 meters from the scenic spot." Li Shaoyang rushed to the commander of the army and shouted loudly.
The commander of this group of soldiers was a regimental-level cadre, and he looked at Li Shaoyang very dissatisfiedly at this time, as if he was blaming him for giving orders indiscriminately. But the leader of the army strode over, pointed at Li Shaoyang and said sharply: "Listen to him!" ”
The armored vehicles began to retreat quickly, and after the soldiers retreated to 500 meters, the only passage leading to the outside world from the gate of the scenic spot, a glass bridge erected on an artificial river, was blasted, and the construction cement convoy from the direction of Qinglong Town came.
Thirty cement tank trucks were temporarily mobilized, and a cement wall three meters high and one meter thick was temporarily built outside the artificial river.
The cement is made from the latest material supplied by Gushi Energy, which can be set quickly and can be formed in just five minutes.
After two hours of busy work, humans have a fairly reliable defensive wall, and the ants have completely occupied the scenic area and the surrounding area.
The old horse stood on the cement truck and kept observing the changes in the ant colony in front of him.
The makeshift cement trucks emptied the fuel tanks and formed a row, covered with wooden planks, which became a huge combat platform, on which the fighters with flamethrowers and nitrogen cooling tanks took their positions, and the others stood in the middle.
"It's weird!" Lao Ma shook his head and said: "Why haven't the worker ants appeared, in an ant group, every time there is a war, it is the worker ants who cooperate with the soldier ants to act, just like the ancient combat army and logistics army, and now even the leader of the soldier ants has appeared, there is no reason why the worker ants have not appeared." ”
Worker ants are the most hard-working in the ant community.
Ant society has a strict hierarchy, the worker ants are at the bottom, responsible for finding food, feeding the queen, taking care of the baby ants and other sundries, and sometimes if it rains heavily, the worker ants are also responsible for the maintenance of the ant nest.
Soldier ants, on the other hand, are only responsible for fighting.
Because of the different division of labor, the body structure of worker ants and soldier ants is also completely different, worker ants do not have mouthparts that can fight, and there is no gland that can spit out corrosive acid bombs, but worker ants have excellent labor ability, and their body structure allows them to push things that are hundreds of times heavier than their bodies, and they can also make them work hard to run back and forth.
Lao Ma took advantage of a short time to talk to others about the division of labor in the community of ants.
At this moment, Li Shaoyang and Luo Hu sensed vibrations from the ground almost at the same time.
The two subconsciously lowered their heads and looked at the cement wall.
The old horse hurriedly said: "Don't worry, they can't pass through the cement wall." ”
"But they can evolve!" Gu Mengxun said in a deep voice.
Li Shaoyang looked at the ants in front of him who were still wriggling around the cement wall, they were preparing for a new round of attack.
Li Shaoyang's heart moved, and he suddenly said to Gu Mengxun: "Mr. Gu, these ants don't seem to have evolved unlimitedly, you see that after the first batch of ants has evolved, the second evolution has not appeared......"
Gu Mengxun immediately turned around and said, "Bring that glass box." ”
The glass box containing the ant colony was pushed over, and Gu Mengxun looked at the ants inside: "If your guess is true, then these ants may only evolve once or twice, and they are indeed not endlessly evolving." ”
As he spoke, Gu Mengxun asked people to take out a flamethrower and sprayed a high-temperature flame at the ants inside.
The ants that had evolved twice were powerless in the face of the flames, and almost all of them were burned to ashes, and in the end, only two ants completed the third evolution, but this time they were sprayed with liquid ammonia again, and both of them died.
"Interesting!" Gu Mengxun smiled: "It seems that not all ants can complete their evolution, only two succeeded in the third time, and all failed in the fourth time." ”
"Is there a difference between these ants? Different qualifications? Rahu asked with a frown.
Gu Mengxun shook his head: "It looks more like a probability event, let's assume that the probability of success in the first evolution is very high, and it seems that almost all ants have completed the evolution, but the second time, the probability of success is reduced a lot, and as the number of evolutions increases, it becomes lower and lower......"
Everyone else heard it inexplicably, but Li Shaoyang was buzzing in his head.
Gu Mengxun's description is the same as his early upgrade ability, if his upgrade ability is evolution, then these ants are also undergoing a very primitive upgrade...... The same has a probabilistic effect.
If the evolutionary ability of these ants is related to their upgraded golden fingers, it is also related to Gu Mengxun's research plan.
Li Shaoyang looked at Gu Mengxun who was standing there, and he had already begun to doubt the relationship between her evolutionary spiral worm experiment and himself.
"Where did you get your evolutionary spiral worm technology?" Li Shaoyang grabbed Gu Mengxun's arm and asked in a deep voice.
Gu Mengxun was frightened by his expression: "This is the core secret of my Gu family's energy, why should I tell you." ”
Li Shaoyang was about to ask again, and the cement truck under everyone's feet suddenly trembled, and then they saw that under the earth, a bulge about half a meter wide was scurrying forward, like a giant dragon moving underground.
The old horse shouted hoarsely at this time: "I know, I know, those worker ants have always been there, they are digging tunnels......"
