The National Biological Laboratory located in the northern capital, using the nutrient predatory characteristics of insect trees, planted more than ten insect trees in a fully enclosed laboratory, and the insect trees launched an extremely fierce competition, the planting distance of the two insect trees was too close, and the tentacles on the canopy actually clashed, entangled and torn each other, and finally ended in the defeat of one side and the fall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In two days, half of the twelve insect trees died, and on the third day, two more died.

The experimental team led by Professor Qin thought that the remaining four insect plants would continue to compete, but after a few days of observation, it was found that the competition between the insect trees had actually stopped!

The experimental team immediately adjusted the experimental method and transplanted the four insect trees together, which was close enough to cause the insect trees to "fight", but the four insect trees were still safe with each other.

The experimental group immediately arranged several other groups of control experiments, and the results showed that as long as there was a period of competition, each group of experimental insect trees would stop the competition by itself when there were three or four plants left, not only did the same group of insect trees have no problem when they were put together, but the insect trees of different groups were all transplanted together, and there would be no abnormality.

It's not hard to guess why—the insect tree has already saved enough nutrients to eat!

The experiment did not end there, but continued to go deeper, torturing the insect tree by reducing the water content, increasing the water content, increasing the light, and keeping it dark, so as to observe the condition of the insect tree.

It was found that the tree that had enough nutrients needed little to absorb nutrients from the outside world, and the light had no effect on the tree, but if the tree did not get enough water, the number of eggs in the canopy would be reduced by 20 to 40 percent.

This is good news, but a single insect tree can produce more than 1,000 eggs at most, and even if the yield is reduced by half, there will be five or six hundred.

Unless there is a widespread drought, there is very little chance of water scarcity in the natural environment, so the results of such research are simply dispensable, and do not help the situation facing humanity in the slightest.

Of course, the experiment is not over, and the laboratory began to torture the insect tree in various ways, including but not limited to digging roots, cutting off roots, destroying the crown, cutting off fleshy trunks from small to large, peeling off the epidermis in various areas, various animal and plant virus infections, various chemical exposures, and so on.

In short, the lab applied all the methods it could think of to the insect tree in order to find a solution that could effectively kill the insect tree.

It was found that physical damage to the insect tree could only reduce the production of insect eggs, and as long as the insect tree absorbed enough nutrients, even if the crown was removed alone, a certain number of insect eggs could be produced.

Only by destroying the canopy, can a large number of incomplete eggs die, but must be destroyed when the eggs are not mature to have an effect, if the eggs are close to maturity, then only the crown can be completely destroyed, in order to stop the development of many eggs, otherwise there will be some eggs to survive.

Virus infection experiments have hardly any effect, and viruses from the earth either cannot be infected, or cannot invade the canopy after infection, and there is no possibility that the virus will kill the tree in the short term.

The contact experiment of chemical substances is similar, the weak toxic chemicals do not work on the insect tree, the chemical substances that work are too toxic, if the countries use it on a large scale, I am afraid that the insect tree is not extinct, and more than half of the human beings will die first.

In order to find out where the limit of the insect tree is, the laboratory even took out the big killer of radiation, and irradiated the insect tree with various levels of radiation to observe the changes of the insect tree in the ray.

The results were gratifying, and after a few days of irradiation, the insect tree quickly withered and died, but the crown was still completely undamaged, but the tentacles on it all shriveled.

The eggs in the canopy are still active, and even if they are exposed to extremely strong radiation for a long time, they will not be harmed in the slightest.

This is not surprising at all, the intensity of radiation in the universe is very high - the altitude of the space station is between 300 and 400 kilometers, which is in low-earth orbit and is within the protection range of the Earth's magnetic field, and the radiation intensity is not very high.

But this is not the case outside of the Earth's magnetic field.

The asteroid flies in the starry sky for several months, and the radiation intensity it receives is quite high, if the white egg shell has no radiation protection ability, how can it take root and sprout after falling on the earth?

The researchers immediately became interested in the eggshell, and through experiments, it was found that the radiation resistance of the eggshell is far stronger than human imagination, and even if it is thrown into a nuclear reactor, there will be no radiation inside the eggshell...... Of course, this thing can only block radiation but not high temperature, and if you really throw it in the reactor, it will be turned into ashes by high temperature in minutes.

The eggshell is only a windfall in the study of insect trees, and research on the insect trees themselves continues.

After exhausting all means, it still could not find an effective way to deal with the insect tree, so the laboratory had to change its thinking, no longer dealing with the insect tree, but attacking the eggs cultivated by the insect tree.

The eggs that have just broken away from the insect tree are ordinary eggs in addition to being larger, but the hatching of these eggs does not require any specific environment, and the hatching speed is not slow, it takes about seven to ten days, the length of time depends on the external environment, even if it is a hot and arid desert, it does not affect the hatching of the eggs.

Fortunately, the newly hatched larvae are very fragile, and various insecticides can effectively kill the larvae at this stage, but as long as you wait for a few hours, the larvae's shell is hard, and the effect of the insecticide will be greatly reduced, and only highly toxic agents can play a certain role.

In order to determine the resistance of the larvae, the laboratory even used nerve gas, although the effect is very good, but the toxicity of this thing is too high, and no one dares to use it indiscriminately in their own country.

The larvae are about the size of a finger's belly, but don't underestimate these little things, they are very appetic and aggressive, and once they hatch, they will immediately sweep the surrounding area, eating all the animals they can find.

Insect trees rob plants of nutrients, and the larvae eat up nearby animals, which shows the domineering nature of this thing.

If they can't find enough food, the little ones will even kill each other, devouring their brothers and sisters born together one by one, and the last remaining one or more are the most ferocious and powerful individuals.

At this time, the biochemical giant insect can grow to about thirty, and initially has the ability to travel far.

Due to the size limitations, firearms can easily deal with larvae at this stage, but if the larvae continue to grow and reach a body length of more than a meter, it will be difficult for ordinary firearms to penetrate the shell of the giant cyborg.

At this point, the laboratory's research on biochemical giant insects came to an abrupt end, not because the laboratory did not want to continue the research, but because the biochemical giant insects already had extremely strong attack power, and the closed experimental cabin of the laboratory could not stop the destruction of biochemical giant insects.

I don't want to ask for leave, but Caven is very good these days, and the brothers must be able to feel it more or less, so I have to say sorry, there is only one shift today, and the plot behind must be thought about.
