Xu Jiaye's expression froze, and he looked at the first brother as if asking for help. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The first brother asked curiously, "What is a water bear?" ā
"I can't say a word or two, you can read it on the Internet for yourself." Professor Qin said weakly.
He also knew that his inference was too shocking to expect Brother Yi to believe it, but when this scene really happened in front of him, Professor Qin still had an inextricable sense of frustration.
At this time, Professor Qin was quite touched.
Xu Jiaye and Brother Yi quickly looked up the introduction of water bears on the Internet, and their eyes were as wide as copper bells, Xu Jiaye looked at Brother Yi's expression quietly, and asked first: "Old Qin, how can there be such a ...... in the world?" Uh, magical creatures? ā
"That's how nature works." Professor Qin said wisely.
"So, you mean, the Fist Ant is a giant version of the water bear?" Xu Jiaye's tone suddenly rose.
"It's possible, it's also possible that the boxer ant has evolved the ability to acquire foreign genes." Professor Qin said.
The water bear insect is very small, and the fist ant is only the size of a fist, in terms of the size difference between the two, the fist ant is indeed like a water bear, the problem is that the appearance of the water bear and the original ant is too different, even if these two creatures have a large number of exogenous genes, they cannot be said to be the same kind of creature.
"That boxer ant's adaptability ......," Xu Jiaye suddenly paused in the middle of his words.
He wanted to ask if the boxer ants would be as strong as the water bears, but he remembered that the military had destroyed a large number of boxer ants with artillery bombardment and fire, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Xu Jiaye thought for a moment before continuing, "If the fist ant continues to evolve, will it gain the adaptability of the water bear?" ā
"Personally, I don't think so." "It is very important that water bears are not able to adapt to any environment, they can only live in a normal environment, and in extreme environments, they can only rely on their cryptobiotic ability to sustain their lives, rather than being able to move freely in all environments, which is very important." Let's put it this way, if the water bear is the size of a fist ant, the process of dehydration and water absorption is definitely not that simple, at least hundreds or thousands of times more complicated, so I don't think it is possible for a fist ant to have this ability. ā
Xu Jiaye frowned in confusion: "Then I don't understand, since the fist ant is not as strong as the water bear, what can it do even if it evolves?" ā
Professor Qin sighed helplessly: "Why don't you understand what I mean?" Evolution is not scary, what is scary is the absorption of foreign DNA and targeted high-speed evolution! ā
Xu Jiaye was still confused, and the first brother couldn't hide the confusion in his eyes.
Professor Qin continued, "To say that after absorbing human genes, it is possible to grow brains similar to humans, and in this way, insects will have the basis for generating intelligence......
"Impossible, right?" The first brother said stunned.
"I'm just making an analogy." Professor Qin said, "And it's not enough to have a foundation, wolf children are also human, but do wolf children have wisdom?" ā
Xu Jiaye pinched the corners of his eyes in annoyance: "I made you dizzy." ā
The first brother nodded secretly with deep sympathy.
Professor Qin secretly slandered: It was originally speculation, but you had to let me say it!
But he couldn't say this explicitly, he could only purse his lips: "In short, I think the fist ants are ten times more dangerous than all the giant insects combined." ā
"Got it." The first brother nodded cautiously, "Old Qin, thank you for your explanation, it's not too early, you can go back and rest first." ā
cut off the video communication, only Xu Jiaye was left on the screen, and the first brother asked, "Xiao Xu, what do you think?" ā
"Chief, I'm still dizzy." Xu Jiaye smiled bitterly.
The first brother thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Xiao Xu, I have paid more attention to Professor Qin's experimental results recently, and I will report the progress as soon as possible, understand?" ā
Xu Jiaye nodded and said, "Yes, chief." ā
I promised happily, but I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, is this concerned about the situation in the laboratory, or is it necessary to grasp the situation in the laboratory?
With his political IQ, he really can't figure it out.
After the communication ended, the first brother sat quietly alone for a while before sorting out the messy thoughts in his heart, and after returning to the office, he made a phone call to Qiu Tianning: "Old Qiu, the situation has changed, and Linyi can't delay it any longer." ā
"What do you mean ......"
"Carry out the annihilation plan, and do the best in the rescue mission."
Qiu Tianning's heart sank, and he persuaded in a low voice: "Fist ants can't get out of the nest, don't you wait?" ā
The plan to annihilate the boxing ants has been done for a long time, and once this plan is implemented, the boxing ants will definitely die one litter after another, and the people captured by the boxing ants will not be able to escape death.
"You can wait in Linyi City, there is no need for ant nests outside the city." The first brother said.
"Yes, I see!" Qiu Tianning quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Linyi City must also be well controlled, you can personally grasp this degree." The first brother said again.
"Okay."
At the end of the communication, Qiu Tianning's expression was solemn, and he thought for a moment and said: "Notify Linyi, stop the rescue for the time being, and find out the ant nest first." ā
The order was transmitted to Linyi through the radio waves, and the difficult rescue operation came to an abrupt end.
Not only four power armors in the whole brigade can move freely, and the rescue operation requires the joint efforts of thousands of officers and soldiers of the whole brigade, not the individual heroism of four outsiders.
Even if Ye Han and the others don't care about the gains and losses, regardless of the fatigue, the battery pack still has to take time to charge!
Although the operation was suspended, the troops did not withdraw from the burrow, and all the armored vehicles that could enter the burrow were scattered out, drilling everywhere in the ant nest under Linyi, and the electronic ant nest map in the headquarters was rapidly expanded.
Winding and vertical passages, large and small caverns, and a dense network of underground rivers with tributaries...... A huge underground "city" that is almost half the size of Linyi gradually unfolded in front of everyone.
Everyone was stunned by this huge ant nest, such a large scale, even if it hides millions of soldiers and civilians, it is no problem.
Identifying the state of the cavern network is only the first step, and it is more important to assess the safety of the individual lots.
Time waits for no one, the command initially divides the underground network into three levels, one is the safe section, there is no danger of collapse in the underground cave at this level, there is no underground river, and the armored vehicles come and go freely without the slightest danger; the second is the hidden danger area, such as the discovery of water seepage or other risk factors that may lead to landslides; The third is the critical area, that is, the impassable area that has collapsed and been submerged by underground rivers.
In order to complete this map, the command even put aside the counting of the number of "granaries", and it was not until the map was completed that it began to count how many granaries the troops had found.
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked, the whole brigade actually found more than 270 granaries, a few hundred people, more than a thousand people, incomplete statistics, there are about 15 to 170,000 humans captured by the boxer ants, and not counting the ones that have been eaten by the boxer ants.
