142 Underground upheaval
After Ye Han summarized the questions of the soldiers, he immediately found Long Jianguo and explained the pros and cons. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The advantages of poisoning are low cost and low investment; The disadvantage is that he can't figure out the progress of poisoning the ants, and the poisonous bait may all be eaten by the worker ants, and he and the soldiers have been waiting stupidly, no matter how you look at it, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
The warriors collectively suggested that a more direct and effective method should be adopted, at least let everyone know whether the queen ant had been killed or not, so as not to waste time doing useless work.
Long Jianguo waved his hand: "Stop poisoning, you can do it yourself, I only look at the final result!" ”
Ye Han couldn't help but complain, okay, he kicked the ball over with one kick, this handshaker is really skilled!
Ye Han didn't have the patience to plan one by one and experiment slowly, he directly pulled out two regular plans to carry out at the same time.
The remaining plan is the simplest, crudest, and at the same time the most effective plan - directly bombing the ant-occupied area with a nuclear bomb!
What are you kidding about the United States, even if it is known as the cleanest neutron bomb, it is also a nuclear bomb or not, if you really use that thing to bomb the ant-occupied area, the ant-occupied area will immediately become a no-man's land, the giant ants are gone, and people can't go back, what's the point of killing the giant ants?
Besides, the nuclear bomb is not blowing in the wind, each one is expensive, and the ant-occupied area has now occupied half of Linzhou Province, how many nuclear bombs will be needed to level the ant-occupied area?
The surplus grain of the landlord's family cannot be so scourged!
The new plan needed new materials, Ye Han immediately organized personnel and threw all the remaining poisonous bait into the ant-occupied area, but fortunately, after two days of consumption, there was already little poisonous bait left on the train.
Two hours later, a train approached the armoured train and threw two tankers laden with diesel fuel and two flatbed trains at the armoured train.
The flatbed train carried four wheeled armored vehicles with fuel tanks, and after Ye Han organized personnel to receive the equipment, they immediately filled the armored oil tanks and couldn't wait to drive into the ant-occupied area.
The next work was similar to burning Jingjiang, the car drove to the core area of a group of giant ants, Ye Han personally went into battle, and manipulated the hole cannon on the roof of the car to pour diesel fuel into the ant hole.
These oil armor trucks are very user-friendly, not only have oil pipes for refueling other vehicles, but also have oil cannons on the roof of the fire trucks, so that the participants can inject diesel into the ant nest without having to approach the ant hole.
A large column of oil poured into the burrow, and the soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave were caught off guard, and immediately drenched their heads and faces.
The soldier ant burst away on the spot, jumping out of the hole with diesel fuel all over its body, but unfortunately its tentacles have been doused with diesel, and its two tentacles are scattered around in a daze, but it can't smell where the enemy is.
The armored vehicles of the "escort" immediately turned their guns and killed the soldiers with two shells.
In order to avoid igniting diesel fuel in advance, armored vehicles are used with armor-piercing shells!
Removing the nail of the soldier ant, Ye Han was even more unscrupulous, and after a while, he sent half a tank of diesel fuel into the ant nest, and made a gesture to the head of the car to drive, and the driver willingly drove the oil armor car away, and the other armored car immediately took over the plan and drove to the vicinity of the ant hole, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the hole and fired several shots.
With a bang, the incendiary bomb ignited the diesel fuel, and billowing black smoke jumped out of the anthole and into the sky.
The volatility of diesel fuel is poor, unlike gasoline, which ignites when it encounters fire, and it is lit with the flame of a match lighter, and it can't be lit for a long time, and if it is thrown into the diesel, it will be drowned by diesel.
Therefore, it is necessary to use incendiary bombs to ensure the ignition of diesel fuel.
For a time, the fire in the ant-occupied area was everywhere, and black smoke filled the sky - there was a lack of oxygen in the burrow, and the diesel fuel was not completely burned, and it was normal for the smoke to be larger.
Moreover, combustion consumes a lot of oxygen, and even if the flame cannot burn the queen, the lack of oxygen can suffocate the queen ant.
As the flames spread, smoke billowed from several nearby anthills, and the fleeing worker ants scrambled out of the holes, and the armored vehicles guarding the vicinity immediately opened fire, killing all the giant ants in their sight without hesitation.
Ye Han secretly shouted that he had made a mistake, and immediately ordered the troops to bombard the anthill.
A few shells bombarded the anthill, and no giant ants escaped to the ground, Ye Han couldn't help but smile with joy.
It is true that compared with giant ants, humans have no strength and no carapace, and their fertility is even worse than dozens of streets of giant ants, but the biggest reliance of human beings is wisdom!
No matter how strong the giant ant is, how can it dig a hole and give birth to more? Just make a time difference, bully and bully unarmed civilians, face the well-organized regular army with changeable methods, and kill this group of brainless ants in minutes.
The first time the ant nest was burned, it was not very smooth, but Ye Han and the participants gained valuable experience.
When burning the second nest of ants, Ye Han did not start acting directly, but commanded the armored vehicle to collapse the excess anthill first to prevent the giant ants in the hole from escaping to the ground, and then began to pour diesel fuel into the hole.
After burning three ant nests in a row, the team commanded by Ye Han ran out of fuel and had to leave the ant-occupied area.
On the way back, the convoy unexpectedly found a group of giant ants surrounding the anthill that was still emitting black smoke, and they were so anxious that they turned around but refused to leave.
It is not surprising that ant colonies have a regular routine of foraging during the day and resting at night. Anyway, the queen ant in the nest is finished, and dozens of scattered giant ants can't make the climate at all.
But after thinking about it, I felt that it was inappropriate, and even burned and smoked, eighty percent of the giant ants in the nest died, but there were still ant eggs in the nest!
That thing doesn't need to breathe, unless it is smoked directly at high temperatures, it is possible to kill the ant eggs, if the hole where the ant eggs are stored is far away from the burning area, even if the hole is filled with toxic smoke, it will not damage the ant eggs in the slightest!
When the heat in the cave dissipates, the scattered giant ants return to the anthole to rescue the eggs, and it is entirely possible to breed a few queens and continue the termite colony that should be extinct!
We must not let the colony resurge!
Ye Han quickly ordered the troops to hunt and kill the giant ants, and the team was immediately divided into three, with each detachment guarding the nest of a group of giant ants.
The giant ants outside the nest could not return to the nest in the heat wave, nor could they run to the territory of other ant colonies to take refuge, and they were shot by armored vehicles if they approached the anthill, and they were angry and angry under the guns of armored vehicles.
According to later statistics, Ye Han and his troops shot more than 600 giant ants in a day, which was only a fraction of the number of three groups of giant ants, indicating that the vast majority of giant ants were suffocated in their burrows, and attacking them with fire was far more effective than any poisonous bait!
Of course, the cost is also much higher than poisoning.
However, there are also different voices, thinking that it is not that there are many giant ants in the cave, but that there are many giant ants killed in the early stage, and that there are not many worker ants in the ant colony at the edge of the ant-occupied area, so there is a misunderstanding that there are many ants in the cave.
In any case, the effect of the fire attack was obvious to all, and the relevant experience was immediately disseminated among the troops around the ant-occupied area.
