Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's eyes widened immediately: "What? You bred your own queen ant? Holy crap, how did you bring such a dangerous thing here?"
Seeing that Lu Yuan was about to explode, Hei Zi quickly stopped him: "No, no, no, don't rush, let me finish what I have to say!"
Lu Yuan sighed and stared intently at Hei Zi: "Then tell me why you did this? You all know what kind of culprits were behind the termites that wreaked havoc on the underground fortress. Just think about what happened there! It's terrifying to even think about it now!"
"Brother, don't worry. Let me tell you, these termites have been completely frozen, and we can extract a lot of useful cells from them."
By studying these cells, we can genetically modify other organisms! Do you remember how big these termite queens used to be?
The largest of these termites are about five centimeters long, and that's the maximum. But these termites are over ten meters long! Just imagine how they managed to grow tens of thousands of times their original size! If this kind of mutation could be applied to other organisms, then we certainly wouldn't have to worry about food!
Lu Yuan suddenly realized: "Oh, you're planning to use these termites for experimental research? You scared me to death! We thought you were going to use these termites to breed a new generation of termites. Don't accidentally destroy my dimensional space again!"
"Haha, don't worry, we know what we're doing. The reason for the low temperature here is to weaken the cell division ability of these termite queens."
This low temperature effectively reduces cell division and activity. We can then extract a portion of the sample when we need it, ensuring we have a sufficient supply for our experiments!
Lu Yuan nodded: "Are you suggesting I take all these termite queens out and then wipe out those people from the United States?"
"What's wrong? Is it not working? These termite queens have incredibly strong guns!"
Seeing Hei Zi's confident demeanor, Lu Yuan was still somewhat worried. He was concerned that once these termites left the laboratory environment and multiplied in large numbers outside, they might have a certain impact on life on Earth.
After all, the food chain on Earth has become very fragile. If we cause more trouble because of termites, it would be a huge loss.
He preferred to find other ways to save the people in the concentration camps rather than use this method.
After all, he was very clear about the reproductive capacity of termites. Releasing these things would be tantamount to opening Pandora's box and releasing these terrifying creatures.
He didn't want his mistakes to cause new disasters to ravage the entire earth.
"Are there any other organisms? I really don't dare use termites. I feel very uneasy even keeping them in the lab!"
Seeing that Lu Yuan was still so worried, Hei Zi finally nodded: "Okay, actually, what we've been doing all along is sterilizing the termite queens! This experiment is basically complete, I'll take you to see the experimental samples!"
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback: "What? Termites can be sterilized?"
"Of course, some radiation can be used to kill some of their somatic cells, which can then achieve sterilization, but this kind of experiment is very expensive."
"When conducting research, we always use termite queens that have undergone sterilization treatment. We don't use untreated termite queens!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "This must be ensured, otherwise I'd rather not use this method at all!"
"Don't worry, we are very confident. We have conducted this experiment many times and have not found any signs that their reproductive cells can regrow!"
After saying that, Hei Zi led Lu Yuan out of the laboratory and into a room on the upper floor.
Inside the laboratory, there was a treated termite queen.
"This is the termite queen that has already undergone sterilization! Even if it releases more egg cells, it won't be able to hatch them!"
Then, Hei Zi showed Lu Yuan their experimental results. After Lu Yuan saw them, he felt a little more at ease.
"Alright then, how many termite queens do you have now, and do these termite queens have strong attack capabilities?"
"Haha, you don't need to worry about that. Come on, I'll take you to see the scene of them self-destructing!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was overjoyed. Once the termite queen self-destructs, there will be no residue left.
Moreover, the acidity in the body of a termite queen is extremely strong. If it were to explode, its enormous size would certainly cause severe corrosion to people and buildings in the vicinity. This acidity is even many times stronger than strong acids such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid.
To date, Chen Yan and her team have not yet figured out how this acid can be artificially replicated.
Led by Kuroko, the two arrived at a closed laboratory. The laboratory was empty except for a huge box.
"We'll move the box outside in a bit. Once the termite queen explodes, she'll produce a highly corrosive liquid. So for safety reasons, everyone has to run more than 100 meters away to observe. That's why we've chosen to conduct the experiment outside!"
