Armor Frenzy

In other words, a few months ago, the military did not dare to withdraw the troops even if they had eight courage, but since Beidu issued the order to stop the encirclement and suppression of giant ants, the situation in the area occupied by the ants has been very stable, which has given the military enough strength. emboldened.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the temperature in the north has dropped significantly. The temperature at night is only a few degrees above zero. In another month and a half, the temperature at night will drop below the zero-degree line.

Cold is an invisible insect killer. In the world, both giant ants and giant locusts will lose their survival basis, and it is impossible to expand on a large scale like in midsummer.

"Isn't it possible to survive the winter?" Ye Han expressed doubts about the low-temperature insecticidal theory. "Insects can grow as big as a car. What if they mutate into some strange structure that can withstand the low temperature in winter!"

"That's impossible." Xu Ruolin said, "This result was researched by Beidu. It takes a lot of time for organisms to adapt to the environment. The body structure of insects is not cold-resistant, and no one can't adapt to low temperature for 1,800 years... I listen. It's not very careful, is that what you said at the time?"

Lu Qingzhi and Gao Bo nodded together, only Long Jianguo was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Ruolin, who had a positive harvest, continued: "The worms either hibernate over the winter, or the worm's dead eggs spend the winter. There is no third choice."

Ye Han asked suspiciously, "Listen? Where did you hear it?"

"The document sent above was read over the radio." Xu Ruolin's eyes fell on Long Jianguo, "Batch commander?"

Long Jianguo nodded: "The document is in the command car, I want to see it myself."

Ye Han quickly nodded: "That's fine, I'll go now!"

"Go away!" Long Jianguo kicked angrily.

Ye Han jokingly ran away and got into the command car in a hurry. The signal soldier on duty asked Ming Ye Han's intentions, and immediately found a document among the few documents, turned to the last few pages and handed it to Ye Han: "This is it! "

Ye Han couldn't help rolling his eyes, the so-called report was actually an attachment to a document!

He took over the document in the hands of the signal trooper. The title of the attachment was very inconspicuous: The influence of temperature on insect plagues.

His gaze skipped the first paragraph, which was full of clichés, and fell directly above the main text. He sat in the command car and read it carefully.

The main idea of ​​the main text is that the scientific research department in Beidu has long been paying attention to the physiological situation of the giant insect. Warm-blooded animals are highly dependent on ambient temperature.

In other words, when the temperature is high, the activity is strong, and when the temperature is low, it is less active or even inactive.

According to the experimental results, when the temperature drops to about 7 degrees above zero, the activity of giant ants will drop significantly, stop moving completely around 4 degrees above zero, and quickly enter a state of hibernation.

Under normal circumstances, hibernating creatures have a range of physiological abilities to fight cold, such as slow heartbeat, lower body temperature, reduced activity or even inactivity, plus prolonged sleep.

At present, the three major insect plagues in the north are giant ants, giant locusts and giant cockroaches.

The report classifies three typical giant insects.

The first is giant ants. The habits of giant ants are similar to those of ants. The experiment found that the original physiological structure of giant ants can no longer adapt to the external climate change. Due to the substantial increase in body size, the thickened chitin carapace can play a certain role in heat preservation. , so giant ants are still active at about seven degrees, while ordinary ants will enter hibernation when the temperature is lower than 10 degrees.

From this aspect, the giant ant does bring certain advantages, but the experiment also found that if the temperature in the simulated environment is lowered to below zero, and the temperature is raised to above zero for a period of time, the hibernating giant ants will only have A quarter of them can still wake up, and if the freezing time is extended, the number of giant ants that are revived will drop further!

Seeing this, Ye Han suddenly thought of the famous liquid nitrogen freezing goldfish experiment. Although he did not understand the principle of this experiment, he had heard a saying that the reason why money can be recovered after being frozen by liquid nitrogen is because goldfish The volume of the goldfish is very small, and the low temperature can quickly freeze the goldfish, and the water in the goldfish will not have time to crystallize and will not destroy the cell structure.

The body size of people and other large animals is too large, and the low temperature cannot quickly reduce the temperature inside the body. The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the body is too large, and the result is that the water in the cells freezes.

It is a common sense that the volume of water will increase when it freezes. Once the water in the cell freezes, it will burst the cell wall and cause irreversible damage.

The result is that people are directly frozen to death, instead of being thrown into the water like a goldfish to survive.

Some people may say that if you throw a person into the water, even if you can survive, you will be drowned in the water.

Ye Han doesn't agree with this at all, because when he was very young, he had seen a piece of news about mice moving freely in liquid. Even if it still cannot reach the level of human application, it will be possible to achieve human's application in the near future. Liquid breathing.

The key issue is the freezing process, not the method of recovery.

Taking back the divergent thinking, Ye Han refocused on the report~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The report mentioned that the hibernation of ants is not to sleep until spring, but to stay in the hole to reduce activities, eat Stock up on food for the winter.

Experts in the northern capital believe that the ecological environment in the north has been severely damaged by insect disasters, and the predators of giant ants are extremely rare. They doubt whether giant ants can obtain enough food in autumn. food to extinction.

Combining the above two points, experts from Beidu believe that as long as winter comes, the problem of giant ants will be completely eradicated.

Ye Han is not stupid. He immediately thought of the point of view in this report. It is likely to be the key factor for the military to evacuate the area occupied by the ants. , there will definitely not be an event of ant colony runaway.

Presumably, the military has now regretted the loss of control of the ant colony. The person who took this report as the basis for the decision to withdraw the army, or even the person who wrote the report, will inevitably become the victim of the loss of control of the ant colony.

Originally, he was the person who was directly responsible. If these people didn't take the blame, who would take the blame?

As for the giant locust, this thing has no ability to hibernate at all. The drop in temperature in the north is the direct cause of the southward migration of the locust swarm.

If the giant locusts cannot cross the distance of thousands of kilometers and reach the warm south smoothly before the arrival of winter, they will surely be wiped out.

That is to say, as long as winter enters, or even late autumn, the prosperous insect swarms in the north will enter the dormant period!

However, the length of the ovipositor of ordinary locusts can reach twice the length of the body, that is to say, a locust with a length of five centimeters can lay its eggs ten centimeters deep underground~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Welcome to reading , the latest, fastest and most popular serial works are all in ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ mobile phone users please read.
