An alien arachnid species is trying to displace the humans and conquer the Earth. To accomplish this atrocious task, two queens of the aliens landed on our planet and started laying eggs, from which arachnids hatch, spread around and eat all humans they can catch. They do have some rules though. When a queen is in labor (i.e. lays eggs) she strictly adheres to the Arachnid Labor Code, which enunciates that the normal hours of labor shall not exceed eight (8) Earth hours a day. The queen hiding in the Amazon River rainforest lays average 9000 eggs per labor day, although due to the high humidity about 4500 of these eggs rot and crumble before hatching. The other queen found a safe haven in the Sahara Desert and is able to lay only 7500 eggs per labor day. All her eggshatch successfully; although on average 4000 of the newborn arachnids do not get to eat humans because they die immediately after hatching due to the high temperature and thirst.

Suppose an alien spaceship with another queen just showed up on Earth's orbit. Not only she lays 600 eggs per labor day which all hatch and dispatch to Earth successfully, but also under her control this ship can suck the moist from Amazon rainforest area just enough to make sure Amazon queen's eggs don't rot and crumble, as well as transfer that water to the lair of the Sahara queen to make sure the newborn arachnids don't die of thirst and heat.

Under this new condition, as the leader of the Earth's resistance with just one missile available, which queen you would prefer to kill?
