One Hundred and Sixteenth Expulsion Plan
Xu Jiaye's expression was a little unnatural: "Isn't this still going to pass!"
Qin Jiao's gaze turned to the military representative: "I don't know the current military methods, but monitoring a few rivers is not a problem, is it?"
The military representative hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Send more manpower and add some technical means, no problem."
Professor Qin smiled: "As long as formic balls are found, a shell can completely solve the problem."
Xu Jiaye nodded involuntarily as the image of a huge formic ball being blasted away appeared in Xu Jiaye's mind.
His military knowledge is limited, but at least he has a clear mission goal for guarding the river, which is easier than running to the endless plains to find ant nests everywhere.
"Ignorance, superficial!" The high-pitched voice reappeared, "Do you still think that giant ants are small ants? No matter how deep or wide the holes dug by small ants, they can't take up much area, but giant ants are so big, and an ant nest occupies at least an area A few square kilometers, it is possible to dig a hole from the bottom of the river to cross the river!"
"Dig the river from the bottom of the river?" Professor Qin couldn't help being stunned, and then sneered disdainfully, "I don't study geology, but I know that groundwater and surface water can replenish each other, so it's not impossible to dig from the bottom of the river, but you must Teach the giant ants to dive first! Ignorance and superficiality? You should keep these words to yourself."
Most of the participants looked puzzled, but Professor Qin didn't seem to explain it at all.
He really doesn't understand geology, but an incident more than 30 years ago is still fresh in his memory.
At that time, Professor Qin's family was still living in an ordinary brick house. Behind the house was a sewage well more than two meters deep. All the domestic sewage in the house flowed into this sewage well through the sewer. Naturally purified by filtration, the water surface remains more than one meter deep all year round.
The sewage in the well has accumulated over time, and it has become very rancid over time, and the smell is unspeakable.
There was heavy rain for three days in one year, and the county where Qin's family lived was flooded. Because the house was high and the yard was low, the water in the yard was knee-high. Professor Qin didn't know it until he smelled a pungent foul smell and looked for The source of the odor was discovered to be black and green sewage in the sewer.
Professor Qin still didn't realize the real reason for the backflow of sewage until this time. He planned to go to the backyard to look at the sewage well. When he opened the door and saw the muddy water flow in the yard, he realized that the water had risen into the yard.
Professor Qin suddenly realized that the reason for the backflow of sewage was not that there was a problem with the sewage well, but that the water level in the sewage well was higher than the sewer mouth in the house!
Suddenly, he realized a certain connection between groundwater and surface water.
What he said now is not because Professor Qin understands the connection between the two types of water bodies above and below ground, but because he has accumulated decades of life experience. (PS: This paragraph is adapted from my own real experience, which happened more than 20 years ago.)
"Let me remind you again, let's discuss the matter as it stands, and whoever attacks personally again, don't say I'm rude!" Xu Jiaye knocked on the table for the second time, "Old Qin, you mean that the river water will pour into the ant holes under the river bed, right?"
"That's right, that's what I mean." Professor Qin said.
Xu Jiaye concentrated for a moment: "That is to say, giant ants cannot cross the big rivers. As long as we control the bridges on the rivers, we can effectively curb the expansion of giant ants..."
Xu Jiaye suddenly closed his mouth and stared at the map in a daze.
The water network on the map is true, but if you look carefully, you can find a few gaps between the rivers. If these holes are not blocked, giant ants will jump out of the fence formed by the rivers sooner or later.
The only good news is that most of the gaps are located in neighboring countries at the southern foot of the Montenegro Mountains. Even if the giant ants escape through these gaps, they don't need to worry about it.
"Why don't you talk anymore?" Xu Jiaye slowed down his tone, "Everyone analyzes Professor Qin's proposal!"
Speaking of this, anyone with a little discernment can see that Xu Jiaye is very interested in Professor Qin's suggestion.
However, those who engage in research do not lack the tough temper without eyesight, and everyone discussed in a hurry. In the end, the meeting reached a few opinions.
One is to increase investment and study effective methods to kill giant ants as soon as possible.
The second is to strictly guard against death and closely monitor the movement of locust swarms.
The third is to make every effort to implement the plan to drive the ant colonies north, focusing on blocking bridges to ensure that the ant colonies migrate according to the established plan.
Finally, and most importantly, once the ant colony is found to be out of control, it must be killed immediately.
However, the premise of the plan to drive giant ants north is to master the pheromone language of the ant colony. Although there are researches on pheromones in China, no one has the opportunity to study the pheromones of giant ants.
Xu Jiaye decided on the spot, led by authoritative experts, to set up a pheromone research center. In order to produce practical results as soon as possible, he planned to temporarily place the center near the ant-occupied area. The military will ensure the safety of the research center and take on the heavy responsibility of catching giant ants .
After the meeting, Xu Jiaye quickly reported the plan, and the top management of Beidu approved the plan with wartime efficiency all the way.
This plan does seem unbelievable, and the high-level leaders of the Northern Metropolis do have doubts about this plan, but the Northern Metropolis can't come up with a better solution. Since experts and scholars from all over the country finally agreed with this plan, it shows that the plan has its own merits. workable side.
Anyway, the implementation of this plan does not require many resources. After all, it is small and broad. If the plan is successful, it will not only save a lot of money and resources for the country, but may also open up a new direction for the future control of giant insects!
Nature is an organic whole. Although the giantization of insects has broken the old food chain, a new food chain will be re-established in this transformation. It is undoubtedly a feasible way to guide the habits of insects themselves through technical means.
The news was sent back to the prevention and control center, and Professor Qin's status rose accordingly.
The old professor, who is over seventy years old, has a very clear understanding of his position. He knows that he is not good at dealing with people, and he is not suitable to stay in a place with complicated interpersonal relationships like the prevention and control center. After thinking about it, he simply volunteered to join the information element research group.
Beidu gave the greatest support to the formation of the research team. Two hours after the meeting ended, two vehicle-mounted mobile laboratories were allocated to the research team, and a considerable amount of experimental equipment was allocated in place one after another. The mobile laboratory, which is even larger than the container truck, set off first, accompanied by various field support vehicles, and was protected by an armored convoy sent by the military along the way. It was expected to arrive in the ant-occupied area in 14 hours. .
Experts from the research team, affiliated researchers and experimenters will take special planes in batches to Linzhou Province to join the convoy and start the research work as soon as possible.
