Qin Xu looked at Kong Wangfei's running figure, glanced at Old Master Qin, and walked out with his steps.

Kong Wang is the age when he is the most energetic, Qin Xu just walked out of the big fat breeding house, and in the blink of an eye, he turned back again, holding two plastic bags in his arms, ran to Qin Xu, and said, "Uncle Liu, show you, this is this thing!"

Qin Xu lowered his head and saw two plastic bags containing two things with different shapes.

A plastic bag contains small round balls the size of walnuts, and there are only a few of them, only about a dozen. They are not the same color, but they are all light, and they look like the colorful bouncing balls that Qin Xu played when he was a child.

In the other plastic bag, there is a ball of wool that looks like cotton, squeezing the entire plastic bag to the brim.

When Qin Xu saw something that looked like a small ball, he guessed that it might be the product of alienated termites.

He pointed to another plastic bag containing cotton balls and asked, "What about this ......?"

Before Qin Xu's words were finished, the anxious Kong Wang directly put the two plastic bags on the ground, and ran away again.

"......" Qin Xu looked at his back speechlessly.

What a grumpy child.

Kong Wang ran around holding things, his face was excited, he didn't feel tired at all, but put things in front of Qin Xu with great interest, and said:

"Uncle Liu, look at me, I'll show you. ”

The second thing Kong Wang moved in turned out to be an object that is rarely seen now.

A hand-cranked spinning wheel.

A spinning wheel is a process line or yarn equipment that is rotated by manual machinery and extended by rotating spinning.

Modern light industry is developed, and most people buy directly from head to toe in stores or on the Internet.

In the days of small-scale peasant economy, spinning and weaving was an important job for women in many places.

This kind of hand-cranked spinning wheel, Qin Xu only saw it with his own eyes when he visited the Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall when he was a student. During the war, there was a shortage of materials, and not only ordinary people spun and weave, but even the leaders of the army used their leisure time to participate.

Qin Xu probably didn't expect to see this object that had basically been eliminated by the times in the farm, and he was stunned.

Kong Wang didn't notice the magic of Fat Uncle Liu, and demonstrated it attentively.

He took out a small light blue ball, looked at the light for a moment, and then pulled it vigorously with his fingernail against a certain position of the ball.

A filament that seemed to be silver-blue was pulled out of the small ball.

He tied the head of the filament to one part of the spinning wheel, then pulled the ball and hung it at the other end of the spinning wheel.

Finally, Kong Wang grabbed the handle of the spinning wheel and spun it quickly.

As the spinning wheel rotates, a uniform filament thread is continuously drawn out on the small round ball and coiled on the rope wheel of the spinning wheel, round and round.

"It's like that's how the cocoon is drawn. Qin Xu thought for a while and said, "Where did you get this wood spinning wheel?"

Kong Wang shook the spinning wheel very quickly, he turned the handwheel, and at the same time answered Qin Xu's question: "It was found by Brother Beining on the Internet." ”

Sure enough, it's the all-purpose online shopping.

Qin Xu didn't need to guess, Old Master Qin, who was sitting on his shoulder, was already muttering and explaining.

"This is because there are too many plastic products put in, and the alienated termites will move the excess material out of the nest, and the furry skin of the nest is formed by these fine piles. ”

Qin Xu understood.

Alienated termites devour large quantities of plastic products every day, which are then processed into small balls of filaments.

If the balls are too large, the alienated termites will transport the excess product out of the nest and avoid taking up space inside the nest.

Qin Xu asked almost silently when he saw Kong Wang turning happily.

"Why don't the ant colonies I fed before have these things?"

Old Master Qin pursed his lips and complained: "When you feed, there is a meal or a meal, they are not enough to hoard by themselves, can there be any leftover?"

"No, I had these balls before, I didn't seem to have seen this. After listening to this, Qin Xu continued to ask.

Previously, Qin Xu also got these small round balls that eliminated ant nests from the alienated termite farm, some of them were metal components, and some were gelatinous substances, and he also sent them to some research institutes, hoping to research something, but at that time, there was no such small colored round balls that could be drawn in Kong Wang's bag.

"There are some conditions. Old Master Qin put his hands behind his back, and his white and tender face showed an old pedantic-like demeanor, and explained seriously, "The first generation of alienated termite queens has the strongest ability to produce termite worker ants, and they have the greatest change in raw materials, so they need to consume more raw materials than the next generation, and the quality of the processed ant nest is also the best." ”

"After the alienation of termites, the ability of termite workers showed a decreasing trend from generation to generation. An equally important batch of raw materials, for the processing of the workers produced by the first generation of alienated termites, just enough to supply the needs of the construction of the ant nest, then the processing of the workers of the next generation of alienated termites must be surplus. Termite worker ants work every day, so these excess products, to a certain extent, will be moved outside the nest by the worker ants. ”

What Old Master Qin meant, Qin Xu probably understood.

In another more understandable way, the colony controlled by the queen of the first generation of alienated termites refined by himself can handle more garbage, the ant nest formed is more solid, and the fur on the surface of the ant nest is also in the best condition.

Later, the next generation of queens reproduced by the alienated termite queens will form a colony-controlled colony with a gradual decline in their ability to dispose of garbage.

Qin Xu watched this kid operate with great interest.

During the time when Qin Xu was communicating with Old Master Qin, Kong Wang had been shaking the spinning wheel. This kid uses a spinning wheel, but he doesn't want to be as leisurely as the old lady in the countryside, and his posture is like starting a tractor by hand, holding his breath and shaking vigorously, full of momentum.

When he finally stopped, he took out a small folding stainless steel scissors from behind him and cut it with a "click" on the silk thread.

Kong Wang took off the filaments that had been taken out and coiled on the rope wheel, shook them a few times in the air, and then kneaded them into a ball.

After these filaments were vigorously kneaded by Kong Wang, they turned into a small ball of soft and swollen velvet like cotton.

Don't look at the silk thread that was drawn, it didn't make the solid ball much smaller, but this velvet ball was the size of a duck's egg, which showed that the fluffiness was excellent.

Kong Wang slapped hard, and the plush ball immediately flattened.

Kong Wang's hands loosened, and the plush ball returned to its original state in a few seconds.

Qin Xu took this ball of velvet with only an extremely light blue color from Kong Wang's hand, pinched it in his hand, and found that it felt quite good.

"This, it seems that it can be used as cotton, down and other materials?" Qin Xu thought about it and said to Old Master Qin.

Kong Wang didn't know that the chubby Uncle Liu was communicating with an invisible ancestor in front of him.

"Well, to test it from an old age's eyes, this hair ball can't gather aura in the first place, and it doesn't have special attributes, that is, as you said, at best, it can only be used as cotton down. "The product of alienated termites, in the eyes of Old Master Qin, is really not on the stage, he really can't say words of praise against his will, he can only follow Qin Xu's words.

Probably embarrassed to say this kind of effect, Old Master Qin thought about it very hard, and added: "The product obtained by alienated termites three generations ago, if it is woven into cloth, it can barely resist some of the damage of sharp blades, but it is impossible to resist the damage of guns and bullets." ”

Qin Xu, who has been an ordinary person since he was a child, automatically ignored the disgust of Old Master Qin.

He felt that this fluffy dumpling should be the first very good by-product of their alienated termite farm.

Qin Xu felt that he should find a place to test its warmth, permeability and other properties.

If the quality is good, the alienated termite farm can use it as a profit point.

After all, it is very valuable to be able to process plastic products that cause pollution and damage to the environment into practical materials through alienated termites.

Thinking of this, Qin Xu said to Kong Wang: "Kong Wang, give me these two bags, and I'll take them for testing." ”

"Okay!" Kong Wang was glad that their discovery was helpful to Uncle Liu, and immediately happily helped to pack up the two plastic bags.

He glanced at Uncle Liu and said with a snicker: "Uncle Liu, wait for Brother Ning to give you a gift, hehe!"

This kid is smiling, and he looks quite bad.

"What gift?"

"We'll find out later. Kong Wang sold a pass, and then he was afraid that Uncle Liu would ask more, so he couldn't keep his words, so he immediately ran to the front yard and shouted, "Uncle Liu, the doors of the other breeding houses are not locked, you can look at it casually." I went to work. ”
