Chapter 389: The Rabbit in the Room
"Smack!"
Liu Jinghuai's chubby fingers pressed the light switch on the left side of the door in the breeding room.
As the white light lit up, the room was bright, and Kong Wang, who was standing on tiptoe behind Liu Jinghuai, was the first to see the little ones in the room.
"Huh?" he cried out, unable to tell if it was disappointment or if there was some joy in the midst of disappointment.
In his teenage fantasy, this room consumes a lot of plastic bags of garbage every day, maybe it is a strange mythical beast that often appears in anime stories, or it may be a complex and sophisticated scientific instrument, how can it be a few ordinary rabbits?
However, although they are just rabbits, these rabbits with bright fur and fluffy fur are so cute in terms of appearance and cuteness.
The color of the outer fur of these rabbits is not the gray, white, earthy yellow, and black that are common to ordinary rabbits, but a bright and fresh color.
One is a vivid rose red.
The two are pink and tender green.
One is a clean sky blue.
One is an eye-catching bright yellow.
One is a warm orange-yellow.
Most people instinctively think that they should be dyed rabbits when they first see them.
They are one size larger than the average rabbit and look fleshy overall.
Qin Xu smiled and took two steps into the room, giving up his position to the others so that they could see more clearly.
"Rabbit?"
"What a fat bunny!"
Beining and Lu Xiaoping couldn't help but blurt out.
Only Lan You, who was standing at the end, frowned slightly, glanced at Uncle Liu who was standing in the room smiling, and thought with a somewhat tangled expression.
In the prefabricated house of about ten square meters, there are six long-haired and long-eared rabbits of different coat colors, each of which is guarding their own food, opening their three-petal mouths, and gnawing the food in front of them into their stomachs little by little.
Their food is familiar.
Both Bac Ninh and Lan You remember that the clumps of plastic bags packed solidly with discarded glass ropes had just been stuffed into the room through the passage after they had finished dinner.
The reason why their work will be affirmed by Qin Xu is because they are indeed very careful.
The plastic bags are stacked one on top of the other, laid out neatly, and then rolled up in a ball, wrapped in a large plastic bag on the outside, and then tied several times with glass rope.
Each plastic roll weighs more than two catties, and the shape looks like a big plastic ham sausage.
Now these alienated termites, who look like real rabbits, each guard a plastic sausage and eat it with relish.
Bac Ninh remembers that he was in charge of this room. More than two hours ago, he had stuffed this room with ten solid plastic sausage rolls.
Today, there are only five left in the room.
This kind of plastic sausage, Bac Ninh and a few of them are making it when they have nothing to do.
Anyway, in the abandoned garbage dump, other garbage may decompose and rot, but plastic bags are endless, and there must be no shortage of them.
Under the mountain of garbage layer by layer of this abandoned landfill, I don't know how many plastic bags of various types are buried.
Some are near, while others have been buried in the soil for twenty or thirty years, but they are still very intact and incompatible with the land.
They rolled the bags into a roll and stacked them under the semi-open eaves of the prefabricated house to protect them from the rain. This is not only neat and beautiful, but also saves space.
When it's time to feed, just move a few rolls of plastic sausages and stuff them into the aisle.
Quick and clean.
Every day looking at these plastic bags that have not been able to decompose for hundreds of years, constantly disappearing into this room, they gradually develop a very proud feeling.
It's one thing to make plastic sausages every day, it's another thing to actually see them nibbled like grass carrots by a few rabbits.
After the initial stunned soberness, the strange feeling of the live rabbit eating the plastic bag made them dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
Lan You, who was standing at the end, didn't speak, but his puzzled face showed some understanding, but his face didn't seem to be good-looking, he looked at Uncle Liu, who had been smiling and silent, and asked, "Uncle Liu, are you talking about termites?"
Qin Xu squinted his eyes and nodded with a smile, and said: "You thought of it so quickly, yes, don't be deceived by your own eyes, although these big rabbits are fat and cute, they will move around, and they look like they are eating, in fact, they are not living rabbits, in other words, they are actually living creatures, but they are not rabbits." ”
"Is it termites?" Lu Xiaoping cautiously took two steps towards a fat tender green rabbit and asked incredulously, "Uncle Liu, you just said that we have termites, but I still can't figure it out." ”
Among these four people, Kong Wang, who has the simplest and most direct mind, looked at the plush colored hairballs, his hands were a little itchy, and he was eager to try and wanted to touch them.
"It's a specially bred termite, which has a very small number of female parents, and after decades of improvement and cultivation, it is finally fully mature and ready for farming. ”
Liu Jinghuai talked eloquently, but in fact, Qin Xu was making up nonsense.
"Termites are a very interesting animal, and in our daily lives, we usually think of it as a building destroyer, a pest, an annoying guy who always runs into the room at night. If you want to get rid of them, we ordinary people are not ready, and we need to hire a professional termite extermination company. ”
As a teacher and uncle, and an elder of the salary boss, when Liu Jinghuai spoke, basically these employees listened very carefully.
Bac Ninh also subconsciously took out the sticky note he carried with him and recorded what he thought was important.
"Common termites are one of the organisms in the animal kingdom that can efficiently degrade lignocellulose. There are more than 300 bacteria and microbes in their gut that help them convert thumb cellulose into absorbable nutrients. ”
"While termites feed on plants and plant products, it is capable of spitting out a high-strength formic acid that can corrode and melt man-made fibers, plastics, stones, metals, and more. ”
"But, I don't think I've heard of termites, uh, it eats plastic bags?" Beining pointed to the large plastic roll that had been gnawed off by this moment, and asked his doubts in a hurry.
"This is not an ordinary termite," Qin Xu didn't explain too much, but said directly, "Their original mother was unusual, and after years of research and cultivation, they are naturally unusual. I don't know the specific cultivation method, it is done by a professional organization, and my responsibility is to run this termite farm well. ”
Qin Xu walked up to the most brightly colored rose-red fat rabbit, squatted down, touched its long, plush ears, and gently stroked its long-haired rose-red hair along its back.
