Armor Frenzy

General Qiu still shook his head: "Before the ant colony entered the city, the Northern Military Region organized an interception, the open space was fully covered, and even cloud bombs were used, but once the boxer ants encountered danger, they would immediately dig a hole to hide, and the firepower covered them. The effect is really impressive.”

"how is this possible?"

"I was also surprised, but the report from the front line did say so." General Qiu said.

"I can explain this." Xu Jiaye said.

The eyes of several people immediately turned to Xu Jiaye, and the head No. 1 nodded: "Tell me."

Xu Jiaye said cautiously: "As far as I know, this kind of ant is very cautious and likes to stay underground. If it is not for nothing, it will not go to the ground at all. Even if a large group migrates, it will stop and go, and every time it stops, it will dig. Resting in the hole, the military’s firepower coverage only works on the ants on the ground, but that only accounts for a very small number of the entire ant colony. Most of the boxing ants are hiding underground. The ant colony can't dig the ground, and this forms the overwhelming giant ants, otherwise there will be no large-scale ant tide at all."

When everyone was stunned, General Qiu said: "According to this, even if you bombard them with nuclear weapons, you can't destroy them?"

"Theoretically, this is the case." Xu Jiaye said.

Major cities have complete underground drainage systems. With the habit of boxing ants, they will definitely treat the drainage system as a nest. Even if bombarded with nuclear weapons, it is difficult to hurt the ant colonies living in the sewers.

"What about the distribution of this kind of ants? Do you have a grasp of it?" Chief No. 1 asked again.

"I haven't fully grasped it yet, but we are sure that the northern area of ​​Linyi has been occupied by boxing ants, and it will continue to erode the surrounding areas for a period of time in the future, threatening major cities in Linzhou Province, and at the same time spreading to the surrounding provinces, unless a countermeasure is found. An effective method for boxing ants, otherwise it is difficult to stop the expansion of boxing ants."

"What about the pheromones? Can't the pheromone of the boxer ants be separated?"

Xu Jiaye stretched out his finger and swiped twice on the tablet computer: "The institute is organizing the separation of personnel."

"how much time is required?"

"It's hard to say. Even if the pheromone can be isolated, it takes time to test the specific functions of various pheromones, and it cannot be used in actual combat in a short time." Xu Jiaye said.

Chief No. 1 pinched his temples with a headache, and raised his head in silence for a moment: "The situation is very clear. With our current methods, we can't curb the expansion of the fist ants for the time being, right?"

Xu Jiaye hesitated for a while and did not speak. General Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "We can deal with the ant colony, but the boxer ants are too small for ordinary people to guard against. Once attacked by the boxer ants, it is difficult to escape."

"This is the core of the problem." Chief No. 1 tapped his fingers on the table, "Taizu said that if there is a loss of land, everyone will be lost, and if there is a lost land, everyone will be saved. Now is the time for us to show our courage. ."

Xu Jiaye was taken aback for a moment: "Chief, do you mean... give up Linyi?"

"No, it is to give up Linzhou, to withdraw all the people near the ant-occupied area, to exchange space for time, and to buy enough time for the research department to study the boxing ants."

"Is this possible?" General Qiu said worriedly, "Our population pressure is already great. It is not difficult to evacuate the residents of Linzhou Province, but the difficulty is where to resettle them."

"This is also my biggest headache. Today's food production is severely reduced. Wherever it is arranged, it is a very heavy burden, but we can't just watch tens of millions of people stay there waiting to die!"

"Linzhou is an old industrial base. Can we directly move factories and mines to the west to enrich the westward plan?" General Qiu asked.

"It is not so easy for factories and mines to move. It is too late to dismantle equipment, but skilled workers can be evacuated first." A participant said.

"Our problem is not limited to the north. Although there are no ant swarms and locust swarms in the south, other giant insects are common. The military is exhausted, and the situation is not optimistic. I suggest that gun bans be lifted nationwide so that ordinary people have the ability to protect themselves. In this way, most of the military's strength can be liberated to deal with large-scale insect plagues." Chief No. 2 suddenly said.

"It is unrealistic to open firearms." General Qiu said, "It turns out that small-caliber firearms have very limited effects on giant insects and cannot deal with giant insects at all. Although large-caliber rifles have sufficient lethality, they are too powerful and are harmful to public security. No matter how you look at it, allowing civilians to carry guns will not only fail to deal with giant insects, but will bring more serious social problems."

"You can't just watch the giant insects ravage, but we are eating here because of choking, right? As far as I know, most countries in the West that cannot ban guns have relaxed their qualifications for holding guns, and some countries that ban guns have also opened gun bans." Speaking of this , Chief No. 2 deliberately paused, "I'm not saying how good it is to open gun bans, but the world is under the shadow of a plague of insects. To stabilize social order, ordinary people must be given the ability to defend themselves. Our people urgently need weapons to defend themselves. If you don't solve this problem, it will shake the foundation of society!"

Chief No. 1's brows were even tighter, but he didn't express his position immediately.

Chief No. 2 lit a cigarette, UU reading www.uukanshu.com continued: "The north will enter the cold winter for a while, regardless of whether it is an ant or a locust, it will not be able to reach for a few days, but the south is different, there The four seasons are evergreen, the threat of giant insects will not change due to the season, and the need for weapons is even more urgent. If we cannot fully open the gun ban, should we first pick a place for the pilot? After all, Jingjiang has already opened the gun ban.”

Chief No. 1 turned to look at General Qiu: "Old Qiu, what's your opinion?"

"There is indeed a hard demand for self-defense, but military weapons are not comfortable to proliferate. It is best to create a firearm that can defend itself without causing serious social problems."

"Is there any suitable model?" Chief No. 1 asked.

"The shotgun should be the most suitable type at present. It has less ammunition, a large caliber, and enough power. It would be better if it could be equipped with ammunition specially designed to fight bugs." General Qiu said.

"Then arrange for the relevant departments to come up with an opinion as soon as possible. I remember that Jingjiang would have conditions to open the gun ban, so the qualifications for holding guns should also be written in the opinion. I don't need to say more about this, right?"

"Wait!" Chief No. 2 suddenly stopped, "Old Qiu, can you deal with giant insects with a tranquilizer gun?"

General Qiu was taken aback: "This, I really don't know, I've never been in contact with that thing."

"I think you can give it a try." Chief No. 2 said, "That thing has a low range and low penetrating power. Its power depends on the medicine in the syringe. As long as the anesthetic is replaced by an insecticide, it can completely deal with giant insects. Do you say so?"

Head No. 1 nodded: "This is also an idea."

"Then do this first, see the effect and then adjust." General Qiu said.
