Chapter 95 Millions of cuties! (Big chapter, kill cockroaches!!!)
disinfecting point.
Three or four security personnel were wearing protective suits, and each of them was carrying a small box in their hands. Some of them looked like team doctors who ran onto the field to treat players during a football match.
I saw them walking in an orderly manner to the white board covered with glue bait, carefully opening the box, turning it over and shaking it.
The next second.
A large black mass fell out of the box and landed on the ground with a clatter.
Due to the distance problem, it was difficult for Wang Mu and others to see clearly what the security personnel were pouring.
But it doesn't matter.
The camera, which was only four or five meters away from the whiteboard, came into play at this time and clearly recorded the appearance of these falling objects:
What the security personnel shook off was none other than cockroaches!
There are about a thousand of these little cuties. They are lively and healthy, and they adapted to the environment immediately after landing.
A very small number of them did not take care of the gel bait at all due to stress.
Baji turned over and ran away quickly.
Most of the rest stayed where they were, happily eating the plastic bait.
The security personnel didn't pay attention to the cockroaches that ran away. The leader first made a gesture in a certain direction to indicate that his task was completed.
Then the group shook the insects off their bodies and quickly left the disinfecting point.
At first, there was nothing unusual about the cockroaches that had eaten the gel bait.
One of them just hid in the shade and started to freeze after the delicious food. It looked harmless to humans and animals.
But in the nearby command room, Xu Yun quietly clenched his fists.
The stage for a good show has been set up, and now the protagonist is waiting to appear.
at the same time.
Seeing that HKUST took action, various media front-ends quickly arranged for hosts and commentators to chat while watching the video.
The host sent by Sichuan Provincial Observation this time is called Chen Shanshan. She is not tall, looks very pure, and looks soft and soft.
After getting the action from the cameraman, Chen Shanshan first waved to the camera:
"Hello everyone, this is the commenting camera of Sichuan Province Observation. I am the host Chen Shanshan. If you want to see the perspectives of other cameras, you only need to slide the screen to the right to choose!
As you can see, the staff of HKUST have officially started the disinfection work, and the whole process should be considered officially started.
Today we are also honored to have researcher Ouyang, an insect expert from the Tianfu Institute of Biology, to assist in the review. Researcher Ouyang, what do you think of the cockroach disinfecting at HKUST? ”
The full name of Researcher Ouyang mentioned by Chen Shanshan is Ouyang Li. He is about fifty years old, with a round face and sparse hair.
In addition to his title of researcher, he is also the vice chairman of the Southern Sichuan Biopesticide Association.
I saw him pondering for a few seconds and said:
"First of all, the live broadcast of the University of Science and Technology was very unexpected. The industry didn't hear much about it. It made big news without making any noise, so I personally still have a wait-and-see attitude towards the results of the eradication.
< br>
However, from a process perspective, there is nothing wrong with the current thinking of these staff members.
First, some live cockroaches are dumped to the disinfection point to be exposed to the poison, and then they are used as a generation of infected bodies to attract other cockroaches to the site, thereby achieving the purpose of spreading the poison.
This is also a commonly used method for large-scale disinfecting at present, but”
"But what?"
"But this method takes a long time, at least an hour or more to have any effect, and theoretically it should not be able to achieve the situation in the original HKUST video."
"Then you mean HKUST lied?"
"No, no, no, I'm just analyzing it from the perspective of insecticides."
Ouyang Li waved his hand quickly. This was not a critical review program, so naturally he would not leave anything behind.
However, perhaps because of the relationship between colleagues, Ouyang Li's attitude in his tone was still very obvious:
"Because the mechanism of nerve poisons is there, their target is nAchR, which takes time.
Just like when you run an 800-meter physical test, it takes five or six minutes for a slow person, and about three minutes for a fast person. It is impossible for a person to complete the entire distance in one minute."
"Um, Researcher Ouyang, but it seems that HKUST really ran 800 meters in one minute."
"That's why I'm being criticized"
Ouyang Li was still talking eloquently. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said to Chen Shanshan:
"Reporter Chen, what are you talking about?"
Chen Shanshan weakly pointed to the live broadcast screen of another camera next to her:
"Look at the video, it seems that some cockroaches have already reacted."
Ouyang Li quickly looked at the screen.
really.
As Chen Shanshan said, it can be clearly seen through the high-definition camera that several American cockroaches that have just landed have obvious physiological abnormalities.
I saw them swaying as if they were drunk, with their wings spread out, and you climbed on me and I climbed on yours, forming a stack of arhats.
As he was crawling, his feet suddenly slipped and he fell to the ground again.
Ouyang Li's pupils suddenly shrank.
As a person in the biopesticide industry, how could he not know what this was going on?
This means that the cockroach has entered a state of excitement and there is a problem with neural regulation!
At this moment, only more than ten minutes had passed since the cockroaches were knocked out of the box.
A few more minutes passed.
Several of the cockroaches that looked wrong suddenly turned into cockroaches with a twist of their buttocks.
This passionate scene was completely recorded by a high-definition camera, and due to the simultaneous live broadcast, the studio could not mosaic it.
Ever since.
Netizens who were paying attention to this incident all over the Internet watched a cockroach movie for the first time in their lives.
Really strange knowledge has been added.
As for whether someone would awaken some Cockroach Girl XP as a result, this was beyond the scope of Xu Yun and HKUST's expectations.
At the same time, with the appearance of this scene, the emotions of the entire live broadcast room were also aroused.
After all, more than ten minutes may seem very fast, but for the viewers in the live broadcast room, this is actually a quite boring waiting process.
At the same time, affected by emotions, opinions on the Internet have gradually begun to become polarized. This is clearly reflected in Wang Muyi’s live broadcast room:
"Is this medicine administered in advance? So soon?"
"It's really funny. You can't even fake it. The target of imidacloprid is the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. The agonist is 5-I-A-85380. The fastest theoretical onset time is no less than forty minutes, ten minutes. It’s working, it’s a scam right here!”
"School of Liars, get lost!"
"I'm surprised. Can't it be the breakthrough of technological progress and technological barriers? Does it have to act on fixed receptors? In 3G, it takes more than ten seconds to open a web page. Don't you see how many times the improvement has been in 4G? According to you Our troops still have to be made from Hanyang?”
"Chinese universities are just deceiving people like this. How can they compare with others abroad?"
While Wang Muyi blocked some radical remarks, he also stared at the close-up high-definition live broadcast camera, feeling a little uneasy.
After all, there are specialties in the field of medicine, and a large part of his confidence in HKUST comes from his identity as a witness to the incident on the 14th. It is obviously impossible for him to explain the relevant technology by talking about it.
that's all.
Amid various heated discussions, another ten minutes passed.
When the time came to 11:13 in the morning.
East District Sports Ground, camera position No. 73.
The camera's perspective was from north to south, and in addition to the whiteboard coated with glue bait, it also covered the flank of another building, or to be precise, a plastic pipe opening from the sixth floor to the ground.
At this moment, a pair of tiny tentacles slowly protruded from the mouth of the plastic water pipe and danced a few times in the air.
Then a cockroach about three centimeters slowly emerged from it. Attracted by something invisible to the naked eye, it ran straight towards the whiteboard.
As if being pulled by a thin thread, this little cutie ran towards an excited cockroach with precise aim and did something indescribable.
The sharp-eyed Ouyang Li happened to see this scene, and as a professional, he immediately judged from the eggs on the tail of the cockroach in the picture that it was a female cockroach.
But what puzzled him was.
This female cockroach is also chasing a female cockroach. At this time, the two sides are in a good situation.
But theoretically speaking, the pheromones of the two will not attract each other.
If the rapid onset of action of cockroach medicine can be explained by the fact that HKUST administered the medicine in advance, then the precise sex in front of her was obviously beyond the control of human beings.
However, Ouyang Li's doubts did not last long before another cute little girl jumped out of the water pipe and rushed to the disinfection point equally quickly.
at the same time.
Stand No. 7,
Stand No. 13,
Stand No. 26,
Stand No. 34.
In the pictures captured by many high-definition cameras, there are faint cockroaches emerging one after another, and they are running towards the disinfecting point.
These cockroaches came from all directions and soon gathered into a small black pile at the white board.
Even if Wang Muyi and the others looked with their naked eyes from the dormitory, they could see this black spot without too much effort.
Although compared with the original video in Building 14, the impact of this scene is still much smaller.
But as more and more cockroaches appear, in addition to some trolls who want to be criticized, the mentality of some netizens who originally had doubts about HKUST gradually began to change.
At least the swearing has been visibly reduced a lot.
After all, although the effects are only beginning to show now, the trend it has revealed has already exceeded many people's expectations.
This is also what HKUST wants to see. Rather than criticizing and gagging, using facts to guide public opinion and emotions is the way to go.
If you are upright, why should you fear others' comments?
Then another fifteen minutes passed.
Gradually.
At some remote pipe mouths in the East District, some cockroaches appeared in groups, instead of being cautious individuals.
These cockroaches range from three to five to more than ten.
They formed a chopstick-like team and ran toward the disinfecting point.
at the same time.
From the Technical Department of Station B, Ye Xumeng clapped his hands:
"Mr. Gong, the traffic has increased again! The M value of the live broadcast room has reached 1.2, and the traffic is increasing again!!"
The full name of the so-called M value is minute input/output ratio.
It refers to the actual number of viewers who enter/leave the live broadcast room within one minute, which is one of the key indices of the live broadcast platform.
The specific IP algorithm is relatively complex and needs to deduct some of the number of connected people. In short, as long as this coefficient is greater than 1, it means that the popularity of the live broadcast is rising.
Previously, due to the boring waiting process, some viewers chose to close the live broadcast and watch other videos, or simply cut out and use other software.
The M value in the background once dropped to 0.47, and it didn't start to rise until fifteen minutes ago.
Beside him, Gong Zenghui pondered for a moment and said:
"This way, Lao Ye, now open the T6 level promotion channel!"
Ye Xu was stunned:
"T6 level?"
Gong Zenghui nodded heavily:
"That's right, level T6."
As a top live broadcast platform, Station B naturally has certain levels for the promotion of live broadcasts, in ascending order from T1 to T6.
However, under normal circumstances, what users can see is T5 level promotion, which is the poster banner on the live broadcast page and login page.
As for T6 promotion, it is basically a once-in-a-million event.
The amount of exposure at this level is much higher than that of conventional promotion, but it requires a certain amount of user loss. The main mode is.
Send private messages and text messages!
Among them, the most recent T6 level promotion was for a certain Harry Potter mobile game. At that time, every user with level 2 and above received a notification, which instantly boosted the popularity of the mobile game to an extremely high level.
Of course.
Just spray more.
As the CTO of the technology department, Gong Zenghui has certain authority to use T6-level promotion, but he also needs to be responsible for the consequences of launching the promotion.
If the long-tail income of the promotion is lower than the user's loss, he may even be deducted from the option bonus, which is not a small number.
It can be said that for this live broadcast, Gong Zenghui put on a very important weight!
After a few minutes.
Xu Yun, who was in the command room, suddenly felt a vibration from his mobile phone in his pocket. When he opened it, he found a notification text message:
"[Bilibili] Dear users of Station B, the live broadcast of cockroach disinfecting at the University of Science and Technology is currently being broadcast live. Copy the SMS password and open the client to enter the live broadcast room!"
Looking at the text message in his hand, Xu Yun blinked and was about to say something to Tian Liangwei.
As soon as he turned around, he saw that his teacher was also holding a mobile phone, but what was displayed was a private message from Station B.
Seeing Xu Yun looking at him, Tian Liangwei calmly closed the screen:
"My granddaughter likes to watch videos of kittens on my mobile phone, so she downloaded an app. Don't be too surprised."
"But I clearly saw Jiaran Da Sima and Square Dance. The smart promotion on the homepage is based on what you often see."
"Xiao Xu, I think your graduation thesis should be replaced by a few more external reviewers next year. I think Professor Lin Shan from the University of Science and Technology of China is good."
"It's normal for children to play with mobile phones, but you have to grasp the time. If it hurts your eyesight, it will be troublesome."
"Well, let's watch the live broadcast."
"."
While Xu Yun was talking to Tian Liangwei, the number of cockroaches at the disinfecting point once again experienced a sudden increase.
But this time the cockroaches appeared no longer at the water pipes, but at several sewer openings that had been opened by HKUST in advance!
The number of these little cuties has increased from more than ten to thirty or forty, and many of them are even connected into a thin and long black line.
Even if the angle of view of the high-altitude drone is not zoomed in, you can clearly see moving black lines in the picture, and the longest one even reaches more than 20 meters!
By this time, there were not many negative comments online.
At the same time, due to being too immersed, a very strange thing happened on many live broadcast platforms:
The number of barrages is decreasing, but the number of real viewers displayed in the background is increasing.
At this moment.
In the university dormitory.
Living in housing.
On the subway and in the open square
Some coffee shops and restaurants with wif.
Even the multimedia rooms of some biochemical companies.
A large number of people of different ages, occupations, and genders, either alone or gathered together, are watching this unprecedented battle to eliminate cockroaches.
It's twelve o'clock sharp.
At this time, two hours had passed since the first generation of cockroaches ate the gel bait, and the number of generations of imidacloprid transmitted was almost close to three generations.
At several disinfection sites, cockroaches have already gathered in the center to form a pile of cockroaches with a length and width of more than five meters and a height of nearly fifteen centimeters, exuding a sticky stench.
There are cockroaches crawling out of plastic pipes and sewer openings throughout the East District all the time.
This scene is still somewhat different from the original Building 14. After all, the entire East District is much larger and more complex than a dormitory building.
However, no matter how big the place is, there is a limit. When the time is long enough, no matter how far or deep the place is, it can be affected.
Around half past twelve.
The spread of pheromones finally reached a certain range, and some deeper beings were alarmed.
In the southeast of the East District of HKUST, there is the largest sewage pipe on the entire campus.
This pipe is much larger than the one near Building 14, both in terms of age and specification.
Nearly one-third of the domestic sewage in the entire Eastern District is discharged from here, and because the University of Science and Technology is located in the center of Luzhou, it can also be regarded as a core node of sewage discharge in Luzhou City.
The pipe is embedded deep into the ground and has been fused with the surrounding soil over decades.
Seven or eight meters below the pipe.
This is an area soaked in sewage, dark and damp, with no light visible.
Bacteria grow and become filthy.
This area has been hollowed out with thin paths, and huge brown cockroaches are close to each other.
Either resting, mating, or digesting food.
In the gaps between the cockroaches, there are transparent cockroach eggs, which breed the next generation of nymphs.
If you look at it from a cross-sectional view, the thickness of this area may be only seven or eight centimeters, which is far different from the hollow depth of an ant nest that is often several meters or even tens of meters.
But if you sweep a flat device horizontally, you will find that this area is virtual and solid but uninterrupted, and the area covered will not be less than.
Five football fields!
This is a world hidden in the shadows, the home base of HKUST cockroaches, and their paradise.
There is no such thing as a king insect for cockroaches, but if there are enough cockroaches, they will also have a mutated leader-level 'false queen'.
Nanako is such a mutated false queen, with a body length of 8.5 centimeters, twice the size of ordinary cockroaches.
It hibernates in the nest every day and rarely goes out.
The same is true for Nanako today. The two tentacles are shaking irregularly, and the next generation of her baby is gestating in the mutated and enlarged abdomen.
But gradually, a faint and strange smell came from its tactile organs.
Stimulated by this smell, Nanako suddenly felt an emptiness that was as deep as her bones, as if something was attracting her from far away.
So involuntarily, it began to move its body outward.
And as it climbed out, there were other similar creatures underground——
Millions of cockroaches. (End of chapter)
