Chapter 2983 The Power of Biological Weapons [Part 2]
【Revision】
In addition to encroaching on farmland and causing a large-scale reduction in food production, these grass species can also cover many roads, especially those trails in the forest, causing these trails to disappear into the wilderness.
This effect may not seem so obvious, but it can effectively prevent the infiltration of enemy guerrillas and special forces. In many war cases, these small roads distributed on the battlefield can often play a very important role, even against the enemy.
The war plays a decisive role. Letting these roads disappear will help our defense on the battlefield and avoid being penetrated behind by small groups of enemies.
In addition, these grasses can also grow in the gaps of roads, airports, and even rail transit, affecting the passage of these transportation facilities.
And because its vitality and reproductive capacity are relatively strong, it is very difficult to handle, and the cleaning speed may not be as fast as the processing speed.
Finally, these grass seeds can also cause damage to some weapons, equipment and facilities in the enemy's country. These seed particles are very small. After being thrown at high altitude, they can easily penetrate into the gaps of some facilities and equipment, and will germinate after contact with water.
They grow up and then multiply, which causes damage to the internal circuits of these facilities and equipment, causing them to malfunction, and may even cause serious short circuits, fires and burns. Especially for some more sophisticated equipment, once grass seeds get in, it will cause damage to them.
These devices wreak havoc inside.
Even these seeds have a certain lethality to the human body. The seed particles are very small and can easily be inhaled into the lungs of people on the ground after being thrown, causing lung infection. The seeds may even take root and sprout in the lungs.
, seriously damaging his lung tissue.
This is not a traditional biological weapon. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a plant weapon. However, it is powerful and can achieve strategic goals.
Just saying that it can cause a large-scale reduction of food production in an enemy country is much better than dropping a dozen or even dozens of atomic weapons. After all, hungry enemy people are much better than enemy people killed or angered by atomic weapons.
So it's no wonder that this grass species is favored by the military. After all, it has huge military application value.
Maybe in the eyes of some people, this kind of weapon is too vicious and inhumane, but once the war starts, the so-called civilization system built by mankind will collapse, and there is no sense in it. There are never rules in war, and everything is about winning.
Lord, when the war starts, it's life and death. There's no mercy.
In a war, mercy will not keep you safe, it will only make you die faster. Among a pack of wolves, do you still want to follow the example of cutting meat to feed an eagle? Your few kilograms are not enough for the pack of wolves.
Yeah, I take myself too seriously.
In addition to this kind of super grass species, there are also several super fast-growing plants that Wu Hao and the others saw in the laboratory of the Plant Science Research Center before.
For example, a seed can quickly grow into a vine in a matter of seconds or tens of seconds, wrapping around everything around it. In war, such a seed is dropped into enemy ships, aircraft, tanks, and armored vehicles.
They will play a huge role in underground fortifications.
No matter how difficult it is to break into the bunker, you only need to pour some of these seeds along the vents, and soon the entire fortress will be filled with these fast-growing plants, and everyone inside will be entangled by these plants and eventually become these plants.
of flower fertilizer.
Another example is the use of super fast-growing predatory plants cultivated from the genes of carnivorous plants such as mimosa flytraps and throwing them on enemy positions or some military fortresses. Then the enemies in these positions and fortresses will be
Becoming the prey of these super fast-growing predatory plants can eliminate the people in these positions and fortresses without a single shot.
Or we can use this gene to cultivate some aquatic plants or seaweeds and plant them in the waterways around our ports and bases. In this way, as long as the enemy's frogmen want to penetrate into the ports and bases to cause damage, these aquatic plants or seaweeds will
Opportunity actively entangles these frogmen who are approaching, trapping them in the water until they run out of oxygen and drown, or they are strangled to death by aquatic plants.
Even if some undersea super seaweeds can be cultivated, they can be used to block undersea waterways or even sea waterways.
Some submarines passing in and out will be entangled in these seaweeds, making it difficult to escape. The same is true for ships on the surface. The propellers will be constantly entangled in seaweeds, making it difficult to move.
Of course, these are just prospects based on this plant gene editing technology. Whether it can be realized will depend on long-term experiments and inspections. After all, it takes a long time for a weapon and equipment to go from project establishment to testing and installation.
, large weapons and equipment take longer, so there is no rush.
Of course, Wu Hao and the others fully supported the military's request for cooperation. Therefore, these plant editing technologies were completely open to the military, and they also sent elite soldiers to participate in the development process of these projects.
.
For now, it is estimated that it will take a long time to see results in this regard. However, even if there are results, they will not be made public. Things like this can only be kept as trump cards or trump cards at the bottom of the box.
It will not be enabled except in case of emergency.
Once the opponent takes the lead in using relevant attack methods to endanger our country's security, we will take out these weapons sealed at the bottom of the box to resolutely fight back and double the attack on the enemy.
This is like our atomic weapon. We will not be the first to use it, but we retain it to curb the enemy's deterrence and blackmail. Once the opponent uses it, we will have enough cards to fight back resolutely.
As a result, if the enemy wants to use such weapons again, they will have to consider whether they can withstand our retaliation. Weapons and equipment like these may never be used, but they cannot be used without them. Not having them means they will be attacked by the enemy.
If we have it, it will make the enemy jealous and not dare to provoke us.
In addition to destruction, plant gene editing technology like this can also be used in repair or other production aspects. For example, repairing battlefields or environments damaged by war or natural geological disasters.
For example, in the management work after mudslides and landslides, by sowing these plant seeds or saplings, these destroyed mountains can quickly revegetate, thereby preventing these exposed mountains from causing larger-scale landslides because there is no vegetation root system to fix them.
Or a mudslide.
On the battlefield, the land that was riddled with holes in the war can be quickly restored with the help of these plants, without causing a lot of water and soil erosion.
