201 Analytical Session II
"False Queen?" General Qiu was stunned. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes, false queen." Xu Jiaye nodded and explained, "The queen ant is the core of the ant colony, in addition to a large number of reproductive eggs, the queen ant also has a role in using chemicals to suppress the reproductive instinct of the worker ants, once the ant colony loses the queen, the worker ants will recover their ability to lay eggs, under normal circumstances, the eggs laid by the worker ants cannot hatch, but the giant ants themselves are mutant creatures, and it is difficult to say whether their eggs can hatch, so it is necessary to use a false queen ant to control the colony to avoid the laying of eggs by the worker ants." ”
"Oh-" everyone suddenly realized.
Xu Jiaye said: "Control the real ant queen in your hands, use the fake ant queen to control the ant colony, use ant eggs to control the size of the ant colony, and use pheromones to prevent giant ants from hurting people, this is the use plan of giant ants that we have researched, as long as the pheromones are in place, it is completely safe to apply ant colonies in the city, and our warriors can even act with accompanying giant ants!" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the conference room, and everyone was shocked by the prospect depicted by Xu Jiaye.
"Are you sure?" One participant asked eagerly.
"Yes!" Xu Jiaye is full of confidence, "Ants have poor eyesight, and they rely on pheromones to identify friend and foe, which I can fully guarantee." ”
"When will the giant ants be ready to fight?" For the first time, Chief One looked eager.
"It can be put on the battlefield at any time, but the production capacity of the institute is limited, and the ant colony we control is very small."
"Then hurry up and find a way to expand the ant colony!"
"We have some ideas." Xu Jiaye said, "There are countless giant locusts killed in Linzhou tonight, if you send the giant ants over right now, you can use the giant locusts on the battlefield to expand the ant colony!" ”
"Good way!" Chief One nodded, "But can you make sure the giant ants don't get out of control?" ”
Although Xu Jiaye had repeatedly assured, the No. 1 leader still asked uneasily.
Xu Jiaye replied cautiously: "Pheromones must be released before the giant ants can be released, otherwise it is still dangerous to approach the giant ants, but we can control the range of movement of the giant ants through pheromones." ”
The No. 1 leader looked at General Qiu: "Find out about the situation as soon as possible and give the institute an accurate message!" ”
"Good!" General Qiu nodded.
The No. 1 leader looked at Xu Jiaye again: "If the research institute is relocated from now on, how long will it take for the new ants to grow?" ”
"It takes at least half a month to go into battle, and it takes about a month to fully grow."
"A month?" In another month, it will snow in the north, and you can wipe out all the locusts without giant ants! A voice said.
"What about cockroaches? Can giant cockroaches freeze to death? Xu Jiaye asked rhetorically.
The man was speechless.
"Also, the giant locust can fly, according to the information we have, this giant locust from the north has a much stronger flight ability than ordinary locusts, and can already fly at a real low altitude, so the locust swarm moves very fast, if it is not stopped, it will not take long for the locust swarm to leave the north, once the locust swarm enters the hinterland of our country, the loss of food is not as simple as one-third!"
"That's the matter of the ants." The No. 1 leader clapped his hands and said, "Cultivate the ant colony as soon as possible, whether we can turn the tables or not depends on whether you can cultivate the ant colony well!" ”
"Yes, we'll do our best."
"I'm sure you can do your best, don't let me down...... What else is there? The No. 1 leader saw that there were still a few pages of the document in Xu Jiaye's hand, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Xu Jiaye replied: "There is also an insect plague analysis report. ”
"Tell me."
"According to the analysis of the situation we have so far, insect plagues, especially large-scale insect plagues, generally occur in places with relatively good self-environment and relatively sparse populations, such as primeval forests and large lake systems, such as Jingshui Lake, the Black Mountain Range and Siberia.
The No. 1 leader smiled lightly and motioned for Xu Jiaye to continue.
"Of course, everyone also knows that in places with poor natural environments, there are also giant insects, but they are basically not large-scale, and the number is very small, and only giant cockroaches appear in densely populated cities."
"Coastal areas have not been found in the scale of giant insects infested, although there are no insects in the sea, but there are a lot of arthropods, fortunately, the monitoring has not found that aquatic arthropods have a sign of giantization, this is good news for our country or other coastal countries, I dare not imagine that those shrimp and crabs in the sea will grow as big as the blue whale, what a terrible scene."
"What is the reason for this?" One participant asked curiously.
"It may be because the sea is too salty and the puffing virus is not salt tolerant." Xu Jiaye said humorously, but no one had the heart to laugh.
"Is there any basis?" The man asked again.
"Yes, we have done several experiments, and seawater can indeed effectively kill the puffing virus, but this is of no use other than to ensure that marine life does not mutate." Speaking of this, Xu Jiaye paused, "But there is also a debate within the research center, and the reason for the controversy is the giant land crab that appeared on several islands in the Pacific Ocean. ”
"Giant land crabs?" Several participants subconsciously licked their lips, looking eager to try.
"Yes, strictly speaking, it is a kind of crab that lives on the tidal flats, and their body size has become huge, because the tidal flats are submerged under the sea water for half a day, so there is also a view that the sea water cannot kill the puffing virus, at least not the puffing virus in the living organism, but all the data are from foreign studies, and it is not yet certain whether the research results are accurate."
There was a murmur among the crowds.
The coast is the economic backbone of the country, and once marine life joins the ranks of giants, the consequences are unpredictable.
The No. 1 leader knocked lightly on the table, and everyone immediately closed their mouths, and the No. 1 leader said: "Regardless of whether the puffing virus has an impact on marine life, coastal cities must be prepared and set up observation stations in time to prevent problems before they occur...... Anything else? ”
"Yes, we also found that giant insects move very regularly, generally moving from higher altitude areas to lower altitude areas, which is likely because the air density in high altitude areas is low, and the oxygen content is not as good as that in lower altitude areas, and the giant body size of insects needs more oxygen; There is also a speculation that insects are ectotherms, and the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, and the low temperature is not conducive to the movement of insects. ”
"Does this discovery make any sense?" One participant asked curiously.
Xu Jiaye replied: "The high-altitude area is sparsely populated, and the low-altitude area is the essence, and mastering the law of action of the giant insect will help to establish a defense line in advance and stop the giant insect in time." ”
