114: Take Sister Bing to feed cockroaches

"So that's it, you two little brats teamed up just to tease me, the Old Man, for fun, right?"

Old Man Lu laughed in annoyance. He couldn't help but glare at the two of them.

"Haha, Grandpa, who told you not to tell me earlier that the cucumber was saved for Sister Bing? If you had told me sooner, would I have eaten so much?"

"You have the nerve to say that? Ice Girl, didn't you just complain that I didn't give you enough cucumber? Go ask your good brother for some; this guy is always wasting good things."

Old Man Lu raised an eyebrow, acting as if it were none of his business.

"Alright, if we keep chatting like this, we won't have any dinner. Ye Tian, come and help me with the prep work."

Zhao Rubing watched the two bickering with a smile on her lips and interjected.

"You got it! Now I don't have to worry about spilling the chicken soup."

Ye Tian chuckled, shook the chicken in his hand, and followed Zhao Rubing into the kitchen.

Then, he skillfully began to slaughter and scald the chicken. While working, he secretly watched Zhao Rubing cook.

Must say, his goddess-like sister looked like she didn't belong to the mortal world, yet she was quite competent at cooking. Just based on her movements while cooking, Ye Tian was certain her culinary skills were definitely not bad.

Therefore, after finishing the chicken and putting it on to stew, he quickly hurried to help with the prep work.

Over an hour later.

The meal was served.

Zhang Liang, who had just finished working, was slightly surprised to see Zhao Rubing there.

After asking Ye Tian and learning the reason, he couldn't help but exclaim about fate.

After tasting the food Zhao Rubing cooked herself, he was even more amazed.

He couldn't help but secretly lean into Ye Tian's ear.

"Brother Tian, Sister Bing is basically a goddess descended to earth. You must cherish this opportunity."

"You guy, what are you talking nonsense for?"

Ye Tian's earlobes turned red, and he quickly silenced Zhang Liang. Then he looked nervously at Zhao Rubing.

Fortunately, she was currently chatting with the Old Man and hadn't noticed the commotion over here.

"Ice Girl, is the matter resolved?"

"Yes, this time it was thanks to Ye Tian, this dark horse. Otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome for me to handle."

"If you ask me, why are you pushing yourself so hard? As for your grandfather, if you don't want to, he can't really force you, can he?"

"He can't force me, but I just want to prove that even if I rely only on myself, I can forge my own path."

"It's difficult! Looking across the country, at your age, those who have reached your position are few and far between. In the short term, without relying on your family's influence, it is almost impossible for you to advance further."

"So, I have no choice but to push myself. Grandpa Lu, I came this time because I wanted you to help me analyze whether there is any real solution to the historical issues left behind."

"A solution? You're asking me?"

"Yes, Grandpa Lu, you are knowledgeable and experienced. Besides, haven't you always said that your biggest wish is to solve the problem of this landfill? The information I've gathered recently is that Yancheng next door has introduced a new type of high-temperature incinerator technology, combined with thermal power generation. I don't know if we can do the same here."

"The idea is fine, but the technical problems are significant. As for high-temperature incinerators, given the current domestic technology, it is difficult to achieve full combustion with high humidity. Furthermore, if the garbage is not fully burned during the combustion process, it will produce a large amount of toxic gas, causing serious air pollution. Girl, look at the landfill behind you. Decades of accumulation, most of the main body of the trash is buried underground. Even if you dig it up, how much water content do you think it would have? And how much energy would it take to make such garbage burn fully?"

Zhao Rubing's face turned a bit pale as she listened to the Old Man.

"Grandpa Lu is right, so I am currently contacting several foreign high-temperature incinerator technology companies. It is said that they have already achieved the means for full combustion with high humidity, but those companies haven't given a reply yet."

"Ice Girl, your idea still has some merit, but what I want to say is that if you really want to achieve astonishing results, you cannot just use traditional thinking. You need to be bold and innovative."

"How so, in terms of being bold and innovative?"

"This... I really can't explain it well to you. Why don't you let your brother tell you about it!"

"My brother? Ye Tian? What can he tell me?"

Looking at Ye Tian with confusion, Zhao Rubing asked, puzzled.

"Sister, just tell me, isn't this fate!"

Ye Tian had listened for a while and somewhat understood the content of their conversation.

Seeing Zhao Rubing look over, he couldn't help but smile and say.

"Stop beating around the bush. What did Grandpa Lu tell you to tell me?"

"Talking about the landfill management issue. This is what I'm best at."

"Isn't housekeeping what you are best at?"

"Is there a difference? It's all handling garbage. Housekeeping is dealing with the garbage in the house, and now, we are going to deal with the garbage outside."

"You're the only one who can make such comparisons. Then, with so much garbage, how should we deal with it?"

"As of now, the best way to handle it is biological treatment."

"What do you mean?"

"It means using organisms to devour the garbage, for example, Cockroach, Earthworm."

"Uh..."

Zhao Rubing was stunned, then looked at the Old Man, who was full of smiles.

"Grandpa Lu, it looks like this kid has been led astray by you."

"Hey, Ice Girl, don't wrong me. It's obviously this kid who led me astray. I was already thinking about giving up on this idea, but then this kid led me back into the pit, and now, I can't climb out at all."

The Old Man said with an innocent face.

"But, I really can't figure out how things like Cockroach can handle such a massive amount of garbage. As far as I know, there are already countless Cockroach and other insects in this landfill, but so far, no one has been able to do anything about this place."

"That's because their Cockroach are not capable enough; they can only devour ordinary decaying matter. But our Cockroach are absolute black hole-level shredder."

Whenever the Old Man talked about this, he couldn't help but excitedly stroke his beard.

But Zhao Rubing was even more confused.

Ye Tian's eyes rolled: "Grandpa, how about we demonstrate it for Sister Bing?"

"Sure. Ice Girl, are you still gnawing on these chicken bones?"

The Old Man nodded and looked at the chicken bones on Zhao Rubing's table.

Zhao Rubing laughed: "Grandpa Lu, you're teasing me again. The meat is gone, what else is there to gnaw on?"

"Alright then, take these bones with you and come with me to the laboratory."

Zhao Rubing hesitated for a moment, but still did as told.

Ye Tian followed her with a mischievous smile, also holding a few bones in his hand.

The four of them entered the laboratory together.

Zhao Rubing was immediately startled.

Looking at the dense swarm of Cockroach in the glass tank, she couldn't help but take a step back.

Ye Tian quickly supported her.

"Sister Bing, don't be afraid, they can't get out."

"You, you actually raised so many Cockroach!"

Zhao Rubing swallowed and said.

Ye Tian smiled slightly.

"Yeah, the ones here are the Old Man's first batch of experimental subjects, just a few tens of thousands. Once this batch starts breeding, the numbers will go up."

Speaking, Ye Tian looked at those glass tanks.

He hadn't paid attention for a few days, and these Cockroach were growing extremely fast.

The few thousand in the second batch had almost all reached the size of ordinary adult Cockroach.

They had packed the originally spacious glass tank until it was completely crowded.

The Old Man stepped forward a few steps and pointed to the feeding port on the glass tank for Zhao Rubing.

"Ice Girl, try throwing the chicken bones in from here."

"That... they won't run out, right?"

"They won't. This is a return-force mechanism; under normal circumstances, it only allows entry, not exit."

Zhao Rubing nodded, but a woman's instinct still left a hint of fear on her face.

Tentatively, she stuffed the chicken bones in from where the Old Man indicated.

Sure enough, just as the Old Man said, until the whole chicken bone disappeared inside, no Cockroach could crawl out.

But the next moment, Zhao Rubing blinked her eyes in confusion.

"Where are the chicken bones? Where did I stuff them to?"

"They've already been eaten. Sister Bing, don't just stare at the Cockroach; you need to focus your attention on the chicken bones."

Ye Tian reminded her.

Zhao Rubing was stunned: "Eaten? How is that possible? Those are chicken bones. Can Cockroach eat them?"

"Then try throwing another piece in."

Ye Tian laughed.

Because of the interruption, Zhao Rubing was much more relaxed now. She followed instructions and stuffed another piece in.

This time, her gaze was fixed firmly ahead.

Then, her beautiful eyes widened more and more.

This change lasted less than 5 seconds before it came to an abrupt stop.

Because, in that short amount of time, she watched with her own eyes as the chicken bone disappeared from its place.

"This... how is this possible..."

"Sister Bing, if you think it's impossible, then you should look clearly."

Ye Tian curled his lips.

He started stuffing the bones he had brought in into the tank.

"This, Ye Tian, are you sure they can even eat this kind of bone?"

Zhao Rubing stared dumbfounded at the half-section of marrow bone in Ye Tian's hand; the hardness of this thing was not on the same level as chicken bones.

Ye Tian, however, didn't care at all: "Just try it and you'll know."

Speaking, Ye Tian went directly to the tank with the 20 Gold-rank Young Larva, which were fewer in number.

He threw the bone directly inside.

And this time, even the Old Man couldn't help but perk up.

Because in all his time doing experiments, he had never been as careless as Ye Tian, using pork marrow bones for experiments.

Under the gaze of the few people.

The 20 Cockroach that were nearing adulthood quickly crawled onto the marrow bone.

They started gnawing it bite by bite.

The dense crunching sound, combined with the constantly changing surface of the marrow bone.

Made everyone's scalp tingle a little.

"Ye, Ye Tian, are these really Cockroach?"

Ten minutes later, seeing that there was little left of the marrow bone.

Zhao Rubing finally couldn't help but ask.

"They are Cockroach, but they are Mutated Cockroaches. Sister Bing, do you think the power of this thing is enough to handle garbage?"

"More than enough, it's terrifying, okay? What I'm worried about now is not their ability to handle garbage, but how to ensure safety. With their attack power, if they escaped, it's hard to imagine what kind of consequences it would trigger. After all, human bones and pig bones are not that far apart."

I've had a cold since the day before yesterday, really don't have the energy to release more chapters, hope I get better soon.
