Three Hundred and Seventy First Words
Zhongnanhai.
The mission that was supposed to be smooth sailed changed. The first brother and Qiu Tianning sat together again. Qiu Tianning said worriedly: "The situation is very bad. Now there are voices to suspend the rescue mission."
Brother Yi frowned: "How did you say it?"
"How else can I say it? It's not worth it to exchange human life for a group of living dead." Qiu Tianning said casually.
Voices against the rescue mission have always existed, thinking that although the country is not in a precarious state, it is not very stable. It is a waste of resources to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to save a group of living dead who do not know whether they can be rescued.
Ask yourself, is it worth it?
To be honest, the rescue operation is a money-losing business, but the account is not calculated in this way, and human life cannot be measured by money, especially at this critical moment when the pests are raging It is a precedent, and it is unknown how many troubles will be caused in the future.
Even if it's just buying a horse bone with a lot of money, the gestures that should be done must be done adequately.
"Don't worry about those short-sighted fools." The first brother waved his hand, "It's not up to a group of talking heads to decide on national affairs."
"The Linyi mission..."
"As usual!" Brother Yi said, "What's the problem?"
"A lot." Qiu Tianning gritted his teeth, "The rescue plan was formulated to deal with the boxer ants. The troops carried too little equipment. Each armored vehicle only had one machine gun. The knife ants were too fast to hit them while sitting in the car. Saber Ant, getting out of the car is simply looking for death, and only a few power armors of Thunder can support it a little."
Although the sword ants couldn't pierce the armored vehicle, but with such a group of vicious guys waiting outside the vehicle, the officers and soldiers performing the rescue mission would never want to leave the armored vehicle.
Only with Thunder's four powered armors, they couldn't finish moving the victims in the ant nest. They had to find a way to contain the knife ants before the mission could continue.
"Where's the microwave armored vehicle?"
"The effect is limited." Qiu Tianning said, "The microwave armored vehicle can block the passage, but the knife ant is small in size, as long as you shrink your body, you can get into a rabbit hole."
"Is there no good way?" Brother Yi rubbed his temples angrily.
"Yes, but it takes time. We can wait, and so can the troops, but those who are caught by ants cannot wait." Qiu Tianning said.
With modern technology, as long as Beidu is given a little time, there are plenty of ways to play dead sword ants. The problem is that the physical condition of the victims in the ant nest is extremely bad. Even if they wait for one more day, they will have to pay the price of hundreds of lives.
The delay in preparing for the rescue operation has been criticized by public opinion for several days. If the rescue operation is suspended, it is not known what will happen if the rescue operation is suspended.
"Is the existing equipment not good at all?" Brother Yi asked unwillingly.
"You can try it, but it's very dangerous." Qiu Tianning said, "Use a microwave armored vehicle to block the cave and see if it works."
"Then try it." The first brother who was riding a tiger gritted his teeth, "When will the soldiers not go up at this time? Let Lei Ting cooperate with Cao Zizhong, just say what I said, and do our best to carry out the rescue under the premise of ensuring the safety of the officers and soldiers .”
"Okay!" Qiu Tianning turned and left.
Brother Yi leaned back in the chair tiredly, closed his eyes and thought quietly for a while, then suddenly got up and picked up the phone: "Secretary Liang, come in."
There was a knock on the door, and Secretary Liang knocked on the door and entered the office: "Chief, you are looking for me." This man was in his thirties, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, and looked capable.
The first brother nodded and said: "Call me Xu Jiaye immediately, and the ant expert from the biology laboratory... Video connection is also acceptable."
"Yes, I'll do it right away, do you have any other orders?"
"No, let's go."
Secretary Liang left the office and returned two minutes later: "Director, the video is connected."
Brother Yi nodded and left the office and went to the video conference room next door.
The portraits of Xu Jiaye and Professor Qin are on the two screens respectively,
The first brother sat in the chair, didn't look at Xu Jiaye, but looked at Professor Qin first: "Mr. Qin, this is not the first time we meet, so I'm impolite. What do you think of Sword Ant?"
Xu Jiaye was startled, and immediately changed his mind, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense without brother Yi asking him. If Professor Qin wasn't around, he would have to give Professor Qin a few glances.
Professor Qin hesitated and asked, "Sir, which aspect are you referring to?"
"In any aspect, you can just speak freely." The first brother didn't want his thoughts to affect Professor Qin, and he refused to say a single extra word.
Professor Qin pondered for a moment, and said with a serious face: "I just learned about the sword ants, and I don't know much about it, so I don't think it's very good, but although ants have a clear division of labor, for a long time, only ants There are three divisions of labor between queens, worker ants and soldier ants, so what is going on with the knife ants?"
Xu Jiaye couldn't help urging: "You don't have to be a fool when you are old."
"I'm not trying to be a joke, but I don't dare to talk nonsense."
"It doesn't matter, you can talk about whatever you think of, let's chat about family affairs." The first brother comforted.
Professor Qin frowned: "Sword ants should be a kind of soldier ants, but my old man is so old, I have never heard of any soldier ants that look like this, not like ants, but like a few Pick out the advantages of planting insects and gather them together... If this thing just lives in the ground and feeds on boxer ants, it’s okay, but if the knife ants themselves are part of the ant colony, the trouble will be big.”
Brother Yi's eyes flashed: "How do you say it?"
"This thing is a new thing, it has never been seen before!" Professor Qin's face became more serious, "My old man is the first batch of people to catch up with the insect plague. In half a year, many giant insects jumped out, but don't worry. Regardless of whether the ones in the sky or the ground or those in the water, whichever one is picked out, it is a species that existed early in the morning, and none of them popped up suddenly, only the knife ant is different."
There is no need for Professor Qin to explain how it is so different, anyone with a brain can tell that this is a new species.
Professor Qin continued: "If the knife ants are not part of the ant colony, they are at most a kind of bug that is difficult to deal with. On the other hand, if the knife ants are really a part of the ants, either the soldier ants suddenly mutate, or there are insects out of the ant nest. The fourth division of labor, if, I mean if, the ant colony continues to change like this, and there will be more and more variant divisions of labor... My old man doesn’t know much, but I have heard of such things as Zerg.”
Brother Yi's expression froze, and all kinds of fragments of bugs suddenly popped up in his mind. (To be continued.)
