Before Meng Qingxiao came out of Zhang Ying's tent, someone came in to report that he had seen a group of men and horses rushing towards this side from a distance, and it was confirmed that it was a company of the Second Division.

Meng Qingxiao came out to greet him, and after a while, the company came running, and the company commander took a step forward and saluted, and shouted loudly: "Report, I am Yao Zhisheng, the commander of the 8th Company of the 6th Battalion of the 6th Brigade of the 2nd Division, and I came to report to you on the order of the deputy division commander of Fei Junding, and I ask the chief for instructions." ”

"Very good, your task now is to protect the technical department, from now on, you will temporarily obey Zhang Ying, section chief."

"Yes." Yao Zhisheng received the order, stood still and did not move, and saluted Zhang Ying, who came with him, for instructions.

Zhang Ying did not assign them tasks immediately, but asked them to set up a tent to rest first.

Not only did the 2nd and 3rd Divisions send a company over, but the 1st Division also sent a company, and because the 1st and 3rd Divisions were far apart, they were all sent by truck.

The three division commanders now also understand that not all orders need to obey the commander, for example, in terms of protecting the commander, the commander cannot be too arbitrary, and those who should be compulsorily protected still need compulsory protection.

With three companies of manpower, Meng Qingxiao's pressure was greatly reduced, and he ordered the companies of the 1st Division to clean up the mutant black locust, and the companies of the 2nd Division to clean up the cow carcasses and transport them out to distribute to the Etru refugees.

The weather in Etru in April is still relatively cold, the temperature at night is generally 5~8 degrees, and the sun is barely 10 degrees during the day, so there is no fear of food spoilage in a short time.

The IQ of the dragon is still very high, when it released the lightning rain, it did not kill all the cows, only those more stupid cows that ran around after being frightened died, and those cows that were too frightened to move were safe and sound, after the inventory of the technical department, there were probably more than 200 left.

Meng Qingxiao ordered his subordinates to drive all the more than 200 cows out of the city, and in the absence of food, he didn't believe that this Jiaolong would not come out, and he would definitely not go under the subway station to fight Jiaolong.

The mutant black locust is more troublesome to clean up, although this thing is a plant, it will not actively attack people, but if you threaten its life, it will attack you desperately.

The first division company had only cut off a few of the larger roots before they came under frenzied attack, and they could no longer get close to the black locust.

Meng Qingxiao frowned and called the satellite phone back to China, the snake bead in the main head of the Baqi big snake has been handed over to relevant domestic experts for study, Meng Qingxiao hopes that the military committee will lend him this snake bead for the time being.

After a short period of approval, the Military Commission agreed, but repeatedly stressed that Meng Qingxiao must be carefully cared for, and this is state property that cannot be damaged.

At this time, Meng Qingxiao naturally agreed, as for whether it will be damaged later, it depends on the intensity of the reaction of the black locust mutation tree.

The cleanup of mutant ants is also on the agenda, and now Meng Qingxiao finally understands why ants are not afraid of dragons.

Not far from the place where Xu Haocun fought with the mutant ants before, there was a large underground square, which was originally supposed to be a shopping mall, but now it has become an ant's nest.

In the middle of the square, there lives an ant queen, it is very large, more than 10 meters long, strong teeth can tear gold and iron, even submachine gun bullets can not penetrate the ant legs, it can be bitten off by a light bite, many things in the mall, it is bitten with teeth to build its own nest.

Although purely in terms of size, this queen ant is much smaller than Jiaolong, but Meng Qingxiao absolutely believes that if these two behemoths fight together, it will be difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time.

The territorial consciousness of the animals is based on the premise that their strength is equal, and no lord will be a neighbor with a guy who is much weaker than himself.

To deal with mutant ants, you need to think of other ways, the little bee has a limited load capacity, can not carry heavy weapons, with bullets, it is difficult to break through the ant's defenses, and the queen ant is different from the dragon, it has a large group of little brothers responsible for feeding, it is not hungry.

At present, Meng Qingxiao can only think of two methods, either smoke or burn.

Smoke is the first choice, because the smoke is easy to pour in, and it will be more troublesome if it is burned, after all, it is a semi-enclosed environment, and the flame is easy to extinguish due to lack of oxygen.

They were carrying smoke bombs, and after receiving Meng Qingxiao's order, a drone carried a large number of smoke bombs and threw them into the ant burrow, and it didn't take long for a large number of worker ants to be smoked out.

The ants on the ground were served by drones, and under the continuous strafing of heavy machine guns, a lot of them were killed, but it stopped there, all the soldier ants, male ants and female ants did not come out, and many worker ants did not come out, they did not seem to be afraid of smoke.

Soon, the smoke bombs that were thrown down were pushed out by the ants in the ground and all sent to the ground, and everyone was stunned.

Dai Zhicong, a weapons expert, suggested: "You can first throw a large number of grenades into it, blow the hole a little open, and then use autonomous guided missiles to navigate it yourself." ”

Zhang Ying shook her head and said: "Prime Minister Audrey said before, you may not be there, that group of ants is very smart, and they chose an underground square converted from a bomb shelter, which is a place that can withstand nuclear bombardment, and any weapons we have at hand can't blast it there." Moreover, there are nine twists and eighteen bends below, and the missiles may not be able to reach their destination. ”

Meng Qingxiao frowned and said, "Now it seems that the air cannon may be the most effective means, and its firing range of two hundred meters is enough to help us push it sideways." ”

"Well, you can give it a try, but one definitely won't work, you have to prepare a few more guns, and fire them alternately, anyway, the hole can accommodate several people at the same time." Zhang Ying also added.

"But we don't have any." Dai Zhicong frowned and said, "It was developed by other departments, and they are very valuable and refuse to disclose the development method." ”

"Nonsense, if it's you, you're willing to leak? Why aren't your glasses shared? Zhang Ying gave him a blank look and said.

Dai Zhicong laughed and said disapprehantly: "That's not my alone, it's a product jointly developed by me and Xu Haocun, and it must not be leaked out." ”

Xu Haocun pouted and said, "Don't catch me, I now officially announce that I will give up all intellectual property rights of that system." ”

Dai Zhicong suddenly said angrily: "Okay, you Xu Haocun, we are in a group, you actually turned your elbow out." ”

Xu Haocun did not show weakness, and sneered at each other: "Who is in the same group as you?" Sister Ying and I are in the same group, Sister Ying. ”

As he spoke, he actually bent down to hug Zhang Ying's arm, and put his head on her shoulder, making a little girl's appearance.

And Zhang Ying's height is only as high as Xu Haocun's neck, and their current appearance is really as weird as it gets.

Xu Haocun originally thought that Zhang Ying would be angry and give him a kick after breaking free from him, but Zhang Ying didn't do it, she instead stretched out her palm and touched his face very gently, and then said with a smile: "Good." ”

This time, Xu Haocun was embarrassed, let go of Zhang Ying in a sneer, and laughed a few times to hide the embarrassment in his heart.

As for the others, they watched dumbfounded the whole time and didn't say a word.

Meng Qingxiao saw some signs, his status was high enough, and he was allowed to make some jokes that were not too popular with his subordinates, so he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Good guy, I think you two are really compatible, it is better to get married on the spot." ”

Xu Haocun suddenly kicked over: "What are you talking about!" ”

He really didn't care about Commander Meng Qingxiao's face, and Meng Qingxiao didn't care about it, so he laughed and avoided it.

Zhang Ying's face turned red, and she also said angrily: "The dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth." ”

Meng Qingxiao has been anxious for his good buddies, his wife is pregnant, and Xu Haocun doesn't even have a girlfriend so far, so when he found out that Zhang Ying didn't hate Xu Haocun, he wanted to poke open this layer of window paper for them, because after all, the two of them have a huge disparity in status, one is a section chief, a cadre at the regimental level, and the other is just a senior soldier.

As for whether the two of them can succeed, this is not something that Meng Qingxiao can master, anyway, everyone is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, just do it, pull it down if it doesn't work, there is no need to twist.

Since it was decided to use the air cannon, Meng Qingxiao was not polite, and made a satellite call to the department that developed the air cannon, mentioning the situation on his side.

The person in charge over there was really happy when he heard that Meng Qingxiao actually offered to use their weapons, their current position is very embarrassing, the air cannon sounds very lofty, but there are not many troops willing to use it, and no one is willing to use it, which means that there is no funding for further research and development.

"Commander Meng, don't worry, we have made some improvements to the air cannon, this time it can greatly shorten the time of compressed air, it only takes 4 seconds to send out a cannon, although the recoil has also increased a little, but it is definitely not a problem for evolutionaries."

This time, there was no need for Meng Qingxiao to personally ask the military department for approval, the person in charge of the department got everything done, and it only took 26 hours for the first batch of air cannons to be delivered, a total of 200.

Meng Qingxiao was also impressed when he got the improved air cannon, the air compression time of this weapon did not decrease, it was still 10 seconds, but they had a whim, and they tied the three barrels together and used them, and the interval was 10\/3 seconds to alternately compress the air, which immediately greatly shortened the firing time.

Another advantage of this weapon is that its barrel is not easy to get hot, only the heat energy generated by air friction has very little effect on the barrel, which allows it to fire continuously.

In view of this, they have also improved the firing system, no longer pulling the trigger to fire once, as in the case of traditional pistols, but like machine guns, as long as you hold the trigger, you can fire continuously until the battery in the handle is depleted.

Batteries can also be replaced in the same way as magazines, and a battery can now only fire 30 shells.

Meng Qingxiao tried it once, and it was true that he could fire a shell every 4 seconds, the range was still 200 meters, and the power had not changed, but the recoil had increased a lot, although he had enough psychological preparation, but he still didn't expect that he couldn't hold it with one hand, and only fired one shell, and he injured his wrist.
