The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 238 Plan Implementation
On the vast land, another cuposaurus was escaping hastily, but this time, what was behind it was not a wolf lizard or any other rapydont, or a traditional synapsid predator. Instead, it was from An unknown hunter that has never been encountered before.

A sharp neighing sound sounded, and the Death God behind it was still chasing after it. It had never encountered such a strange creature. Although it was not as huge as the Orgynids, it was equally ferocious, or even more so.

At this moment, the same sharp hissing sound suddenly sounded in front, and then, another strange creature of the same kind came out of the way, with a pair of sharp claws stretched out in front of it.

The cup dragon turned back in despair, looking at the hunter who was approaching step by step, and let out a mournful cry, with raised bone armor on both sides, and its weird and ferocious head shook, trying to initiate a final fight against the trapped beast.

But the next second, the pair of sharp claws easily pierced its body, red blood gurgled out, and the huge body suddenly lost its balance and fell down.

Controlling the Crazy-toothed Saw Ant to retract its claws, and looking through the corner of its well-developed compound eyes at the structure that was making an undetectable buzzing sound in the distance, Lin Yi flashed a hint of joy in his consciousness.

As expected, the other party was attracted by the Saw Ant, a "strange species that has never appeared on the mainland", and sent a drone to conduct reconnaissance, seemingly preparing to capture it.

It was a little difficult to start in an open environment. Therefore, Lin Yi chose a deeper natural cave as a nesting site for these "wild saw-toothed saw ants". He planned to introduce the aliens into the cave and then use the narrow The terrain restricts the enemy's firearm-like weapons, so take advantage of the opportunity to strike.

The bait responsible for seducing the opponent requires strong adaptability, and wild individuals are difficult to handle. To be on the safe side, Lin Yi chose to take the risk and let the individuals controlled by the nest group act as bait to act outside to attract the opponent's attention.

The swarm version of the ancient net-winged flying insects observing in the dark has seen that the tubular structure used to launch tranquilizer bombs has been stretched out from under the belly of the small drone, aiming at the cup that has just been successfully hunted. The dragon is preparing to drag it back to the cave.

This tranquilizer bomb launcher seems to be based on a similar electromagnetic principle, but the kinetic energy of the warhead is not strong. It is launched at subsonic speed, so it makes almost no sound. Combined with the low-noise propeller of the drone itself, it can have an effect on wild animals. Unexpected effect.

With the help of the perspective provided by the ancient Dictyoptera flying insect, the crazy-toothed saw ant that was working hard to drag saw the incoming warhead as if it had eyes behind its back. In the bloody sand.

Then, under the control of Lin Yi, several saw-toothed ants pretended to send out warning signals that were programmed in advance, and then quickly evacuated toward the rear, like wild animals that were alarmed.

In order to attract the other party's attention, he also intimately exposed the social characteristics of these wild versions of saw-toothed saw ants, as well as their possible intelligence. If the other party is really interested in alien ecology, he will definitely not let it go. this species.

From behind, the sound of paddles stirring the air came, and Lin Yi felt happy. Sure enough, the opponent did not let go. The drone gave up concealment, but turned its blades with all its strength, and quickly pursued it, preparing to forcibly capture the Saw Ant.

Under the continuous detection of a large number of ancient Dictyoptera flying insects, the Saw Ant nimbly dodged and moved towards the cave at a speed that prevented the drone behind it from aiming and not losing sight of it.

The huge noise caused by the blades churning the air came from behind. In the field of vision of the ancient web-winged flying insects, the huge body of the alien tilt-rotor aircraft had four rotors tilted forward at a 45-degree angle, and the side hatches were large. Open and chase forward. At the side hatch, several unknown firearms carried by armed aliens were pointed downwards, and two more volleys were fired in the direction of the fleeing Saw Ants.

It seems that it is indeed an electromagnetic weapon. The opponent's tranquilizer bomb is the same as the tranquilizer dart commonly used by humans in later generations. It is shaped like a dart instead of a warhead. It cannot be fired using traditional gunpowder weapons.

Although air guns can also be fired, the standard weapon of the alien armed personnel obviously cannot be air guns, so the only possibility is electromagnetic weapons. Moreover, this miniaturized electromagnetic weapon should also have the function of adjusting the kinetic energy of the launch, so as to Compatible with different ammunition.

However, the unstable platform of the tilt-rotor aircraft caused these tranquilizer bombs to miss again. The Saw Ants were already very close to the cave. By then, the aliens would have to find a way to continue the pursuit.

In fact, based on the technological level of the aliens that has been tested so far, Lin Yi feels that if the Kuaiyi Divers are dispatched, they can take down the opponent's tilt-rotor aircraft. If the upgraded mortar gun spider is used, it is not impossible to take down the opponent's scientific research ship that lands on the ground.

But the few warships hanging in the orbit of the earth are not so easy to deal with. What's more, the other party is a civilization with interstellar colonization. It is extremely unwise to rashly provoke such a behemoth.

It is true that the other party's super-light speed navigation ability, at least the energy source of controllable nuclear fusion, and various unknown technologies all make Lin Yi want to be greedy, but if he does it directly, he would not do it if he still has some brains.

Lin Yi did not yet know how the nest group should deal with civilization, or the collision between forces, but starting a war with the opponent would be tantamount to seeking death.

Even if we really want to find a way to capture this scientific research ship, we must do it without leaving any loopholes or exposing the existence of the nest - and this is exactly the plan for this plan.

While thinking, the figure of the Wild-Toothed Saw Ant had already approached the entrance of the cave, plunged into the cave, and submerged into the darkness, leaving only the huge body of the tilt-rotor behind, helplessly turning its nose under the protection of several drones. , hovering at the entrance of the cave.

Lin Yi did not believe that the opponent's drone had the ability to fly in a completely dark and narrow cave. Even the most advanced flight control system was powerless in such an environment.

The environment of the cave will inevitably cause radio signals to attenuate, and unmanned ground detectors are not realistic. Therefore, if the other party does not want to give up the samples of the Saw Ants, they can only use the most traditional method and send people down to capture them.

And this gave Lin Yi the opportunity to get into contact with the opponent's body under the protective suit and use special micro-level individuals to invade and infiltrate these aliens.

In the deep and dark cave, pairs of low-light night vision compound eyes slowly emerged. The hunters hidden in the darkness were preparing to show the most dangerous side of this living planet to the "guests" coming from afar.
