Armor Frenzy

Although the plane landed at the camp, each time Long Jianguo left the plane alone, took a small bottle from the researcher's hand, and re-boarded and left to continue the task of catching giant ants.

Ye Han, who never got off the plane, naturally didn't know that Professor Qin was in that camp, and Professor Qin never thought that Ye Han would be on the plane to catch giant ants.

Later that day, the first batch of pheromones extracted from more than a dozen worker ants were sent to the Linzhou Provincial Military Region, and the military region immediately organized manpower to implement the lure plan, attracting the giant ants on the northern line of the ant-occupied area to continue to expand northward.

Before the pest disaster, domestic research on pheromone was not paid much attention, but there was no shortage of corresponding research institutions. The Pheromone Research Institute did not intend to start from scratch when it was established, and directly use mature technology to separate pheromones.

However, the composition of pheromones is very complex. The only pheromones that have been successfully separated are food, enemy encounters and corpse removal, and the purity of the finished product is extremely low, containing a large amount of impurities of unknown composition.

Fortunately, a little impurity does not affect the effect of pheromone, and the purpose of the research is not to isolate high-purity pheromone, and the existing results are enough to complete the ant trapping plan.

However, the plan did not go well, because the ants are very fond of their nests, and the little pheromone provided by the research is not even a drop in the bucket, and it is not enough at all.

Seeing that the locust swarm was getting closer and closer to the border, Beidu immediately put pressure on the institute to provide pheromones as much as possible, even if only some giant ants were attracted to it.

However, pheromones are all extracted from giant ants, and there is no possibility of artificial synthesis in a short period of time. The number of finished pheromone products depends not only on the production capacity of the institute, but also on the number of giant ants provided by the military!

So the task of catching giant ants continued. Long Jianguo, an officer with the most experience in ant-hunting, did his part and became the leader of the ant-hunting team. All three companies under his command were involved in catching giant ants, as well as several other teams. The troops joined the ranks of ant hunters, and a large number of giant ants were sent to the Pheromone Institute every day.

However, the worker ant soldiers are easy to catch, but the queen ant has never been seen. Even the research institute has not been able to come up with a suitable capture plan, so they can only put the matter of catching the queen ants aside.

After all, the research institute is not a biochemical factory. Although it has the ability to extract pheromones, its production capacity is really poor. Fortunately, the research institute has developed a set of effective extraction plans. Under the direct instructions of Beidu, Fuyun Quickly set up a pheromone refining plant.

The distance between Fuyun and the area occupied by the ants is 70 to 80 kilometers. In order to improve work efficiency and reduce the impact of transportation on refining, the head of Fuyun had a whimsical idea and placed the factory on a train, driving to It stopped only a few kilometers away from the ant-occupied area and started the refining work on the spot.

The trouble of transporting giant ants over long distances was saved, and the extraction speed of pheromones increased exponentially, finally meeting the needs of the military, and several groups of giant ants began to migrate to the north.

Since it took some time to get rid of the giant ants, the vanguard of the giant locust has already crossed the border, gnawed through the grasslands and forests all the way, and rapidly expanded southward. According to the current spreading speed of the giant locust, the locust swarm and the ant colony will meet in about six to seven days.

This result made everyone in the know breathed a sigh of relief, and began to look forward to the time when the giant ant and the giant locust would meet earlier.

However, the military did not let the giant ants pass through the border. As soon as the locust swarm crossed the border, the two armored divisions arranged on the border began to implement the interdiction plan to curb the spread of the locust swarm from east and west.

The reason why this can be done is closely related to the characteristics of the giant locust itself.

As we all know, although locusts have wings, their flying ability is very poor. After the body becomes huge, the problem of short wings is more prominent, and the flying ability is almost zero. It can only fly along the street for a short distance with the power of jumping, and can fly more than ten meters at a time. Even if it is heaven.

For this reason, the scene of flying locusts in the sky did not appear. The locust swarms were idling, and their mobility was far less than that of normal locust swarms.

Otherwise, even if the military doubles its strength, it may not be able to stop the crazy locust swarms.

However, two fists were no match for four, and the two divisions fought vigorously at first, eliminating a large number of locusts.

Fortunately, the mobilization was effective, and the locust swarm just showed signs of being out of control. The Northern Military Region immediately put seven reserve divisions assembled in advance into the battlefield, and another four divisions were ready to be put into the battlefield at any time.

A large number of weapons and equipment were used in the battle against the locust swarm. In addition to heavy marine equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled rocket launchers and self-propelled artillery, the Air Force dispatched hundreds of fighter planes to throw countless ammunition at the locust swarm. Hundreds of cluster bombs, thousands of incendiary bombs.

All kinds of weapons have a good effect on the locusts, but the high-intensity firepower attack also consumes a large amount of weapon reserves, which makes the logistics department complain. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ sends a steady stream of ammunition to the front with the intensity of a mid-scale local conflict.

Correspondingly, military spending has also risen rapidly, and the economic situation, which has been hit hard by the insect plague, has become even worse.

The war is about comprehensive national strength. Jingjiang City has successively fought against several giant insects and has consumed a large amount of weapon reserves. Therefore, the Northern Capital is very clear that using the army to eliminate giant insects will inevitably lead to a substantial increase in military expenditures, and may even lead to a comprehensive economy. collapse.

The reason why they agreed to the plan to control the insects is to reduce the cost of insect eradication and achieve the goal of eradicating giant insects at the least cost.

If it weren't for the various reasons behind it, how could the Northern Capital have agreed to the plan of "repelling ants and swallowing locusts" that was a little unreliable?

However, despite being psychologically prepared, the loss of fighting giant locusts on the northern border is still far beyond expectations. In addition to a large amount of ammunition consumption, the fatigue of continuous combat has already affected the combat effectiveness of the troops, and Beidu has to find another way to control the locust swarms.

Soon, a bottom-up plan was put in front of the decision-makers in Beidu City. After hesitating, Beidu finally issued an order, requiring the Beidu Military Region to immediately arrange for chemical defense troops to rush to the front line.

According to the arrangement of their superiors, the chemical defense force sprayed a large amount of pesticides on the periphery of the locust swarm, creating a locust separation belt with a width of more than 200 meters.

A large number of giant locusts went south all the way and ate up all the vegetation on the road, but that little food could not even meet the minimum food requirements of the locust swarm. , swallowing a large amount of pesticides in the stomach~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Welcome book friends to come and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all in~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Mobile users, please read.
