My Black Tech Shelter

Chapter 40 Research

When Chen Ji and others returned by helicopter, the other helicopters were all far away from Chen Ji's helicopter and several nearby helicopters. Finally, Chen Ji and the helicopter carrying several ant corpses landed in a special place. Base, this base was more sci-fi than the one he was in. Chen Ji sat in the helicopter and watched the helicopter slowly approach an apron. Then, just as Chen Ji was about to jump off, the apron on the ground began to As they descended, Chen Ji jumped and quickly sat down. Then, he watched the helicopter he was sitting on park directly into the ground.

Then, a team wearing white protective clothing came over and motioned for Chen Ji and others to follow. Chen Ji and others looked at it and then followed.

After walking through a long corridor, Chen Ji and others arrived at a hall. There were ten doors on the side of the hall. I didn't know where they led to. Then, the team asked Chen Ji and others to go to the scene. Waiting, he left the scene.

After Chen Ji and others saw this special team leaving, they started talking to each other. Chen Ji was observing the situation in the hall. There was a round table in the center of the hall with a projection device on it. There are 10 single doors scattered around the hall. Judging from the layout, I don’t know if they are the same inside.

Not long after, the projection device in the middle suddenly remembered a beeping sound. Then, Chen Ji saw a three-person image appearing in the sky. What appeared in it was the projection of the military region commander.

"Soldier Chen Ji, I am the commander. Since you are the first contact with this mutated creature, in order to prevent the potential danger of unknown viruses, your team needs to be quarantined for inspection."

After hearing this, Chen Ji said: "Yes! Commander, my team and I will fully cooperate,"

The commander nodded, then turned off the projection, and then a person wearing protective clothing came to Chen Ji and said to Chen Ji: "Squad leader Chen, you will be required to live here temporarily in the next period of time. Eight of the ten single doors are your bedrooms, and the remaining two, one is a fitness training area and the other is an examination area. In the future, you will need to live here temporarily and undergo regular inspections to ensure that you are not infected with location viruses. You return to the establishment,"

Chen Ji looked at the researcher and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, as soldiers of the people, we will fully cooperate."

The institute nodded and left here, while Chen Ji asked the team members to temporarily disband and choose a place to live.

Chen Ji opened the door and saw that the living facilities inside were complete and equipped with a separate bathroom. Looking at the room in front of him, Chen Ji thought that he had lived in collective dormitories before, and he never expected that he could live in such a luxurious single room.

While Chen Ji and others were being settled, two ant corpses were also brought into the research room. Biology expert Zhou Peng and his assistant began to study this giant creature.

As the research unfolded, Zhou Peng discovered that this kind of ant is like an enlarged version of an ordinary ant. The internal structure of the body is the same as that of an ordinary ant. The difference is that in order to support the huge body, the ant's skeleton and shell have been modified differently. The degree of strengthening, first of all, is the skeleton of the ant itself. In order to support such a huge ant in rapid movement, the strength of the skeleton is three times that of the human skeleton. After the muscle tissue in the body is enlarged, although it is not as capable of lifting as it was when it was small. 400 times its own weight is an exaggeration, but it can still lift nearly 5 times the weight. The shell is actually designed to withstand pistol bullets at close range, which is really incredible. And the formic acid in the ants' bodies can actually corrode metal, but for Glass products, on the other hand, did not react.

Zhou Peng was now very interested in this kind of creature, so he began to study it without eating or sleeping.

In the following days, military districts across the country were scouring the ground, looking for mutant creatures. They found one, killed one, found a group, and annihilated a group. However, according to the data collected from various places, only one has been found so far. A species of ant has mutated and prefers to live in places with dense spores.

Zhou Peng's research report has also been handed in here, and he also mentioned that he hopes to send out a special team to capture a live ant for his own research, because Zhou Peng suspects that ants still use pheromones as a means of transmitting information. Maybe he can As a breakthrough point, special pheromones are produced to induce ants to actively gather.

In the report, Zhou Peng reported that a small amount of spore entanglement has been found in ants. In some key parts, the cells and spores in the ants are in a symbiotic state. The ants eat organic matter to use the spores in their bodies, and the spores Special hormones will be released, causing the cells of ants to break through the limits and grow to giant size. In order to ensure their own survival, the spores in different parts of the ants have different functions. In addition to the functions of giantization, such as bones and shells, , muscles, etc.

Zhou Peng then compared this spore with previously preserved spore samples and found subtle changes. After collecting spores from several surrounding cities, he determined that the spores in the outside world had mutated, and the distributed organisms Radiation is much less harmful to humans, but it will create a symbiosis with ants, so ants like to stay in places with a lot of spores.

After receiving the report, the military dispatched a special operations team to capture a lone ant and then sent it to the research institute. After several days of intense research, they finally found a set of special pheromones that could make ants gather together crazily.

Then, the special operations brigade brought the pheromones to a trap built at the border, poured the pheromones into it, and then waited for it.

After half an hour, everyone felt the vibration of the ground and found that a large number of ants had come here. After all the ants entered the trap, the trap was immediately activated. With a burst of gunfire and explosions, all the ants were killed.

Then the special operations team brought a set of special instruments to the ant nest and Four racks with special instruments were placed around the ant nest, and the equipment was activated.

The leading commander was in the communication vehicle, looking at the computer in front of him, which clearly displayed the internal three-dimensional map of the ant nest. It turned out that this device was called a quantum scanner, which could scan the range, straight line and designated area in the form of points, lines and surfaces.

After attracting all the ants in the nest, robots were sent to the inside to remove the last queen ant. The queen ant was affected by pheromones and wanted to go, but because she was too fat, she was stuck, so she was easily found and captured alive.

After seeing the good results this time, the whole country began to take action, and finally temporarily eliminated the domestic ant problem.

And the latest report shows that according to internal scans of ant nests, the collective thinking of ant colonies has begun to rise. Several experiments have shown that the larger the size of the ant colony, the more its collective wisdom will continue to rise. According to data models, when the size of an ant colony exceeds 100,000, its collective thinking will reach the level of a puppy, and when the number of ants exceeds one million, the entire ant colony can be regarded as an intelligent creature. However, due to climatic reasons, there is no need to worry about this situation at present, because the resource consumption of an ant colony of one hundred thousand will be extremely terrifying, and they will shrink themselves and enter a state of negative growth because they cannot find more food.
