218: History repeats itself: a terrifying, massive earthquake!

Another bloody battle for snatching people was about to erupt!

Of course.

As the protagonist at the center of public opinion, Su Yu once again selectively ignored the bickering between the Uncles and Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers in the comments.

The successful creation of Hex Mosquito meant that he would need to conduct large-scale mass production experiments next.

After the mass production experiments were completed, there was still research on the technological upgrade of another creature waiting for him.

The body parts of these little Ant that needed modification were also not to be underestimated; in fact, they were even more complex than Mosquito!

According to Su Yu's previous design, the main function of Hex Mosquito was to transport and deliver energy substances or anti-inflammatory drugs for humans in special extreme environments.

Similarly.

The practical application scenarios of hex ants could also be matched with them.

What is the biggest advantage of Ant?

While being small in size, they possess unprecedented relative strength! Once they exert force, they can lift objects hundreds of times their own weight!

Therefore, how to amplify the ability of Ant to carry things is Su Yu's main research focus at present.

Based on theoretical data calculations, in principle, as long as there are enough Ant, their bodies are tough enough, and their strength can be simultaneously transmitted and connected within the ant colony, they can lift an elephant!

They could even lift and transport things larger and heavier than an elephant.

But the problems precisely appeared in these few points!

Ant' bodies are fragile, and their limbs are slender; their ability to lift and carry heavy objects hundreds of times their own weight is entirely due to their special body structure.

Therefore, strengthening the toughness of their bodies and modifying their exoskeletons became the first problem Su Yu had to face!

Second, how to make Ant accept human commands!

This requires utilizing the living habits of the ant species.

When Su Yu previously caught Ant in the wild, he specifically paid attention and followed their routes to discover their nests.

Anyone good at biology should understand that ant colonies and bee colonies have something in common.

That is, within each colony, the division of labor is clear, with worker Ant, soldier Ant, and the queen Ant each performing their duties!

And the manager who controls the entire colony is precisely the queen Ant!

The queen Ant's status within the ant colony is extraordinary; she can allocate all resources of the entire ant colony. With just one command, all members of the colony must heed her call.

Su Yu was very lucky!

He not only followed the ant colony's path to find their nest, but he also dug through the soil and successfully captured the only queen Ant in the entire colony!

And the role of the queen Ant came into play at this time.

Through brainwave signal transmission, Su Yu only needed to issue commands to this queen Ant, which would be equivalent to directly issuing commands to the entire ant colony.

Finally, there was the modification regarding power transmission!

Su Yu planned to carry this out simultaneously while modifying the Ant' limbs.

The ultimate effect is that whenever there is any physical contact between Ant, the two Ant can simultaneously share and bear the force!

This design is not simply a straightforward addition, like 1+1 = 2. Once two Ant transmit power, they can even achieve an effect of 1+1 = 3!

However, all of this was merely a concept in Su Yu's mind!

Whether it can be achieved depends on whether his upcoming experiments can proceed smoothly... Just as Su Yu was immersed in developing new technologies, and countless viewers were immersed in watching the Streamer develop new technologies.

Chuan City, Wen County.

A peaceful afternoon, a time that countless China citizens would never forget.

Fate quietly completed an unknown replication at this moment!

Several years ago, the horrifying magnitude 8 earthquake in Wen County swept across the China, catching everyone off guard when the disaster struck!

Mountains collapsed, tall buildings toppled, schools crumbled... In just a few tens of seconds, the earth's tremor, carrying unparalleled force, swept through the entire county.

The small basin was like wheat grains in a sieve, shattered in mere moments.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, wails echoed for thousands of miles!

Because the buildings were old and in disrepair, almost ninety percent of them were destroyed and collapsed by the violent shaking of the earth!

Tens of thousands of people were mercilessly crushed beneath the rubble.

And those who luckily escaped were distraught; at that moment, they lost everything!!

After that world-rare disaster, the people of Wen County thought the nightmare had long left them. But who would have thought that disaster is a rule set by nature!

It is nature's thunderous wrath unleashed for humanity's destruction of the ecological environment!

It is an unavoidable punishment!!

Decades later, when the cycle began again, mountains collapsed, rivers overflowed, and the wrath of the heavens once again swept through this poor small county.

Fortunately.

This time, the reconstruction of homes after the devastating disaster had a sufficiently stable foundation to withstand this sudden crisis!

More than ninety percent of earthquake-resistant houses lived up to their mission, arduously fulfilling their promise to protect the people with their lives.

And the people of Wen County, who once again experienced an earthquake of the same intense magnitude, this time had sufficient targeted measures and risk aversion experience. When the earthquake struck, most people escaped to safe open areas outdoors at the first possible moment.

As long as the houses didn't collapse, it was enough to buy people time to evacuate.

The disaster came quickly and left just as quickly.

The terrifying tremor of several tens of seconds awakened everyone in the entire county in just a few seconds!

This time, with most of the solid earthquake-resistant houses, only a few new buildings in the entire county collapsed.

Although the entire process was still harrowing, the actual casualty figures were tens of thousands of times lower compared to decades ago!

The only serious issues remained the accumulation of barrier lakes and landslides caused by the earthquake.

At the moment the major earthquake occurred, the National Geological Bureau Detection Center had also simultaneously issued a red alert, the highest danger level!

The seismic waves, originating from Wen County, began to spread widely towards the surrounding land areas. People living in surrounding cities also received a countdown warning of strong seismic waves on their mobile phones for the first time.

Thirty seconds later, the seismic waves gradually disappeared.

One minute later, all national geographical networks and navigation software simultaneously sent out an emergency announcement!

Chuan City, Wen County, experienced a major magnitude 8 earthquake at 14:32 PM on June 23, 20**! The focal depth was 5 kilometers, and Chongqing, Yun City, Gui City, and other places would experience strong tremors!

All personnel are requested to remain vigilant at all times to prevent continuous aftershocks!

Major earthquake!

This is a super-large disaster that has occurred only a handful of times in the history of China.

As soon as the disaster occurred, it immediately topped the news trending topics on all media platforms!
