Chapter 294 Manual Intervention to Restore the Food Chain?
Summer is already in the blink of an eye.
in the large conference room. It hasn't entered the formal meeting stage yet, and it's noisy, but the topics of discussion are all related to bugs.
"We've scraped the surrounding mountains!"
"We've almost cleaned up the bugs."
", look at those trees! A lot of bugs have hatched! ”
", let's not let people live, obviously we have killed so many bugs, why are there so many."
"The people below reacted that they were going to vomit after eating locust eggs!"
"Haven't you developed a lot of flavors?"
"Actually, I still want to eat meat, I eat worms every day, and I feel like I'm about to become an adult."
"Actually, what I want to say is, we all have so many worms here, how many bugs will there be in the rest of the place."
"Oh my God, if those bugs eat up their territory, they'll definitely start migrating, but we won't be able to avoid it here!"
"It feels like it's a tragedy."
......
In the midst of the discussion, the rest of the people who were busy with work almost felt it.
The spiritual power of the small group is released.
The entire conference room fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were on Xiao Tuanzi's direction.
The meeting officially began.
Everyone knows what the purpose of this meeting is.
The scientific research base of the base also studied and analyzed this matter, and their results were displayed on the projector.
There is no way to completely solve this matter in a short period of time.
An analysis of the combat power of each of the existing bugs has been bound into a booklet.
As soon as Xiao Tuanzi's mental strength moved, a pamphlet appeared in front of everyone.
The person who presided over the meeting was not a small group, and it was not she who explained to everyone.
She didn't understand these little balls. Don't worry about anything, just leave these to someone who understands, what she wants is the implementation method and result.
"Based on our sampling and population analysis."
"Because the end of the world has come, many insects at the bottom of the food chain have been wiped out."
"So much so that the insects in the advanced insect food chain have no food source, so that their hunting objects have changed."
"If you want to solve this problem once and for all, first evolve naturally, and wait for a new food chain to form. And their targets are likely to change to mammals. If they start hunting small mammals on a large scale, there is a high chance that the animal's food will collapse. Of course, the whole of nature will change in the meantime. In the end, a new balanced food chain will surely be formed. ”
"Second, with manual intervention, we have a genetic map of almost all common insects before the apocalypse, and we can try to resurrect their population and restore all the food chains before the apocalypse! But what will happen in the end, it is unknown. ”
Everyone's brows furrowed, and choosing the first one means that I don't know how long it will take to complete it in the future.
And in terms of what Xiao Tuanzi saw in his previous life, because of the gathering of human races, that is, the existence of the base, insects that are not social slowly begin to transform and gather.
Populations of insects that gather and hunt all other creatures for food.
Similarly, if the second option is chosen, no one knows what will happen in the future.
The natural world is constantly self-eliminating and reborn, and if human intervention is made, we don't know what will happen next.
And it doesn't always work, and it takes a long time.
Originally, everyone thought that the topic this time should be how to resist the insect tide that was about to break out and how to deploy the battle, but they thought that what was shown in front of them was not a step in front of them, but a way forward.
"I think choosing natural evolution is the best choice!"
"Well, I think so too, like cloning technology has been around for a long time, but it's been shelved for a long time!"
"Yes, you see, we have collected mammoth cells and genetic specimens at that time, but we have not really carried out its resurrection."
"No, I think the old food chain should be restored!"
"How long has it been since the mammoth, you are talking about? Our time is no longer suitable for them to survive, on the contrary, now, how many years is the gap between the pre-apocalyptic and the present? If the environment has not changed, and those insects are not necessarily extinct, but the number has decreased! What we don't have here, we can't say anywhere else! ”
"Yes, we're just restoring their populations and maintaining the ecological balance!"
The reason why many carnivorous insects have survived to the end of the world is that they have the instinct to resist and hunt. Insects that face zombies are able to kill them. And those herbivorous insects, they did not become zombie insects, but they had no resistance in the face of the killing of zombie insects, and in addition, the hunting of those carnivorous insects caused a sharp decrease in their population.
In the end, the current situation was formed, and if there was a pest influx, it meant that the food chain was breaking down.
If insects grow too fast and outperform the animals that previously hunted them, they are faced with predator and prey reversal.
In fact, after the appearance of mutual predation, it is still possible to form a balance, but the reproduction rate of insects is much higher than that of other animals.
According to computer calculations, it is not possible to form an ecological equilibrium at this stage.
"Even if you help them restore their populations, I'm asking you, do you think the newborn insects can keep up with the giant insects that have evolved to the present?"
"Don't you see that their embodiment has stopped growing?"
"Those insects don't grow forever."
"It took about three years for those insects, and some of them just multiplied for one generation."
"On the contrary, the insects that we are going to reproduce now reproduce are reproducing faster. With human intervention, it would have taken about a year to catch up with those insects! ”
"But have you ever thought about the consequences of doing so! If those insects evolve to kill the carnivorous insects again, and they reproduce faster than the previous insects, it will be a disaster! ”
"Do you think you can artificially control it?"
There was silence in the meeting room.
No one can guarantee what will happen.
If it's like opening Pandora's box, I don't know what will happen.
"Now that the world has become like this, could it be worse?"
"Let me just ask, if we don't intervene, then there will be insect tides basically every year, endless, do you think they will evolve towards suitable for hunting us humans?"
