The strange geological phenomenon has attracted more and more media reporters. They are like sharks smelling blood, rushing to report the news.
"Human beings don't understand the earth. There may be prehistoric creatures underground."
"A supernatural incident occurred at Andy's ranch. A huge hole appeared out of thin air in the ground and swallowed the cattle."
"Overnight, 37 huge underground holes appeared in Andy's ranch, suspected to be caused by giant species, suspected to be underground dinosaur creatures."
“…”
The next day, various eye-catching news headlines appeared on the homepages of major news media around the world, attracting the attention of the world.
According to news reports, the diameter of the 37 huge underground holes ranges from about four meters, and they are connected to each other like tunnels. The specific depth has not yet been determined.
According to the authoritative analysis of many geologists, they are not produced by natural phenomena, but were excavated by giant creatures, and there are a large number of traces of excavation.
Suddenly, the news became the focus of heated discussions around the world.
"It's fake! Then come such a big creature."
"The ranch should have dug it themselves. It is probably to deceive people's attention, hype up hot spots, and deceive tourists."
"What kind of messy news do today's reporters and editors have no brains?"
"Haha! If there were such a big creature in the world, I would eat the keyboard live!"
“…”
The comment areas of major news websites around the world are full of ridicule from netizens, with tens of thousands of comments almost unanimously questioning the authenticity of the news.
Miracle Gate, Experimental Area, Command Room.
General Ston, Professor Manli, Zhou Xing, and other representative observers were urgently gathered early in the morning.
In the command room, they were stunned when they saw the news content displayed on the big screen.
"It must be it. It must have dug these holes. It can't be wrong!" Chen Lin stared at the big screen excitedly and insisted.
"How did it travel so far? How did it do that? Can it still fly?" The Russian representative observer looked at Zhou Xing and asked impatiently.
"Look at the map. Andy Ranch is located in Nevada, close to the Colorado River. It should have escaped down the river." Zhou Xing looked at the big screen and pointed out the truth at once.
Hearing this, everyone looked at the map displayed on the screen, and almost unanimously agreed with Zhou Xing's judgment. Andy Ranch is near the lower reaches of the Colorado River, and the giant earth-burrowing insects are flowing down the river. It should be unmistakable.
"This, no way! Could it be that it can recognize the speech net placed in the river? And then avoid it?" General Ston frowned and looked at Zhou Xing.
In order to prevent the giant burrowing insects from escaping from the canyon area, they invested huge manpower and material resources. They flew drones and fighter jets in the sky, deployed large biological sensor nets in the rivers, and deployed surveillance cameras on the ground. They laid out a "drag net". However, the result was still Let it escape from the surveillance area without anyone noticing.
"It's possible that its IQ is not weaker than ours!" Zhou Xing nodded solemnly.
Zhou Xing paused for a moment, looked at General Ston and reminded: "General, the giant burrowing insect is still in the process of evolving into the mother insect of the species. It has been seriously injured again. Now its position is exposed. It should be easy to deal with. If it is allowed to grow It's so injured and it has successfully evolved into a species mother insect. By then, we may be in danger."
General Ston looked at the large command screen and said loudly: "Don't worry, we won't let it escape this time."
After speaking, General Ston turned to look at the officer beside him and ordered: "With the Andy Ranch as the center, a radius of a hundred miles will be tentatively designated as a military important area and a comprehensive ban will be implemented."
"Yes, general." The young officer obeyed and turned around to carry out his mission.
"General, such a large-scale ban is very troublesome. I'm afraid it's hard for the president to explain it!" As soon as the young officer left the command room, someone immediately reminded General Stone and said.
In the U.S. federal government, the government has the power to expropriate private property, but this power is fundamentally restricted by the Constitution, and the right of eminent domain is no exception. The Fifth Amendment to the federal Constitution stipulates: "Private property shall not be expropriated for public use without just compensation." .
If such a large area of land is to be temporarily and compulsorily acquired at once, the military may cause a lot of lawsuits.
General Stone frowned and waved his hand: "Don't think about this issue, Mr. President will support us."
The current location of the Digger is in a remote pasture area. If we don't take this opportunity to get rid of it and let it escape to a bustling metropolis, it will be a big trouble.
"Okay, General." The staff officer stopped trying to persuade him and looked at the large command screen.
I saw a scene of an army attack in a military base appearing on the large command screen. The heavily armed soldiers were urgently gathered and quickly boarded the personnel carriers. There were troop carriers full of soldiers, heavy trucks full of arms and equipment, one after another. It drove out of the base and headed toward the lower reaches of the Colorado River, where Andy's ranch is located.
Seeing the appearance of the US military setting off in great force on the screen, Chen Lin frowned and looked at General Sidun and asked worriedly: "General, what if it left Andy Ranch earlier and continued down the river?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xing frowned and agreed: "It is so cunning, the possibility of this situation is very high!"
General Ston's head is as big as an ox. Even Zhou Xing said so. It is very likely that the giant earth-burrowing insect has left Andy's ranch.
The giant burrowing insect can not only burrow into the ground, but also dive. Its escape method is difficult to track. How can they prevent it from leaving
General Ston looked at Zhou Xing for help and asked anxiously: "Zhou, what do you think we should do? Now there is no sensor network in the lower reaches of the Colorado River, and it can flow all the way unimpeded."
"The biowave detector has not been completed yet, and there is no way to track it for the time being." Zhou Xing shook his head with a wry smile, paused for a moment, and suggested: "The only way to prevent it from leaving now is to 'snatch the snake'."
Hearing this, everyone in the command room froze and looked at Zhou Xing, somewhat confused by what he said.
"Alert the enemy? Zhou, what should we do?" General Ston perked up and asked impatiently.
"In order to evolve and develop its own tribe, the giant burrowing insect has become very cautious and smart. However, we can take advantage of the fact that it was seriously injured." Zhou Xing introduced it and continued with a smile: "It was seriously injured, but it still had to flee 300 kilometers. I think it must have been frightened by the power of the explosion of fifteen Predator missiles, so it fled so far like a frightened bird. We were waiting for it to escape. Continuously deploying bombs in the direction should scare it away from running around."
Zhou Xing looked at everyone and finally concluded: "When the biowave detector is completed, it will be dead."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Zhou Xing analyzed the character of the giant burrowing insect very accurately. This method is very feasible.
