Why send crystal cores to the micro queen bee at the Changjing Resettlement Area?

Because Dongfang Chen wanted to know why these ants were staying there and not leaving. They definitely wouldn't be resting there for no reason. The surface might not reveal anything, but there could be hidden secrets underground.

Yan Fangfang's view was that the ant colony might start building nests or breeding on the spot after acquiring enough food. But the specific purpose needed further investigation.

Obviously, the simplest way now was to let the micro queen bee develop and then mass-produce micro ant robots to scout.

Around 9 PM, Dai Zheng arrived in the sky above the Changjing Resettlement Area with people and crystal cores. The base's aircraft used anti-gravity engines, which were very quiet, so they could fly very low without disturbing the ants.

Five large iron boxes containing crystal cores were directly dropped into the central area of the resettlement area, landing on the ground with a heavy thud. The nearby ants were disturbed and quickly crawled towards the iron boxes.

"Bang, bang ~"

They attacked the iron boxes with their wide mandibles, but unfortunately, they couldn't cause any damage. Then, more and more ants gathered around and attacked the boxes together, but they were still unsuccessful.

After Dai Zheng ordered the boxes to be dropped, he had the plane return to the base.

Subsequently, Xiao Lin, through the supercomputing center, issued instructions to the micro queen bee.

After receiving the instructions, the micro queen bee ordered the ant robots to transport the crystal cores to the underground hive. Immediately afterward, the queen bee began to use these crystal cores to mass-produce ant robots.

As more and more ant robots were manufactured, the area that the queen bee could explore became farther and farther. By 9 AM the next morning, the situation underground at the Changjing Resettlement Area was almost completely clear.

After Dongfang Chen got up and arrived at the office, the first thing that caught his eye was the 3D projection on the big screen.

"Commander, the underground situation near the Changjing Resettlement Area has been investigated," Xiao Lin reported.

"These ants have been doing this for the past two days!" Dongfang Chen exclaimed as he looked at the projection on the screen.

"Yes, Commander," Xiao Lin replied.

On the screen was a complex, root-like underground castle that constantly extended outwards.

"Ants are indeed natural builders in nature. Such a project is a miracle of the biological world," Dongfang Chen said.

"Commander, according to the analysis data, there is a queen ant in the underground ant nest, which is mass-breeding new worker ants. It is expected that they will continue to migrate north by the afternoon," Xiao Lin said.

"Okay, I understand. Notify Yan Fangfang and have her inform the soldiers stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River to blow up the Changjing Bridge as soon as possible," Dongfang Chen said.

"Yes, Commander."

Dongfang Chen originally wanted the micro queen bee to directly kill the queen ant. But on second thought, if the queen ant died, the ant colony would fall into chaos, which could lead to uncontrollable consequences.

At the same time, the ant colony would develop wings during the process of differentiating new queen ants. This would increase the danger of the ant colony to a certain extent.

Moreover, crystal cores were limited, and the micro queen bee could not decompose so many ants. Therefore, other methods had to be found to deal with these ants.

… …

Yusu Province, Yujing City.

10:20 AM.

"Look!" A person on the plane shouted loudly.

Another person heard the sound and looked down.

"Oh my god!" The person who looked down felt a tightening in his heart.

"Quick, contact the headquarters!" A soldier shouted to the pilot.

"Number 73518 calling headquarters! Number 73518 calling headquarters!" The pilot shouted because the plane noise was too loud.

"This is headquarters, number 73518, please speak!"

"A large number of unidentified creatures have been found on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Yujing City! Repeat, a large number of unidentified creatures have been found on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Yujing City!" The pilot reported loudly.

"Headquarters has received it, please continue reconnaissance."

"Roger!"

After receiving the reply, the plane continued to fly east along the Yangtze River.

Immediately afterward, dozens of transport planes took off from the Southeast Military Region and flew towards Yujing City.

Yujing City is the provincial capital of Yusu Province and a megacity in China. The Yangtze River passes through the middle of this city.

Therefore, if unidentified creatures are found here, the problem will definitely be serious. Because such creatures may also appear in Jiangbei.

They could only hope that it wasn't ants.

Immediately afterward, the news spread to the garrisons of the other three military regions. Each military region had already transferred a regiment of troops to garrison the Yangtze River, so after receiving the news, they quickly rushed towards Yujing City.

The Southeast Military Region was the closest and received the news the earliest, and quickly arrived at the scene.

"This is…" The soldiers looked down from low altitude, feeling very surprised.

"Quick, quick, quick, land on the north bank of the Yangtze River as soon as possible and build fortifications!" An officer ordered.

Subsequently, the plane arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River and hovered at low altitude. The soldiers reached the ground one by one along the hanging ropes. The soldiers who landed first quickly searched for cover and stood guard.
