In Qin Xu's recent room, there were a lot of things that were originally regarded as garbage.

It was precisely because he paid attention to the garbage that Qin Xu felt that the amount of garbage generated in modern life was too much.

Order a takeaway, from a packed bag, a lunch box, a plastic spoon, and disposable wooden chopsticks, as well as a complimentary toothpick and paper towel, and order printer paper.

To end a meal that may not be delicious, you have to stuff so much garbage into the trash.

Buy a courier, a courier carton, cushioned plastic foam, scotch tape, and also end up in the trash when they have completed their mission.

Change the toothbrush once every three months, use a can every two months, an empty bottle of shower gel, shampoo, skin cream, facial cleanser.

Worn-out old slippers, old clothes that are thrown away when there is a hole, old furniture that is obsolete, old household appliances that cannot be repaired, which person's life does not throw these into the garbage heap in one go?

Very few people are anxious about this garbage.

Because as long as they put their garbage in the public trash can that they clean every day, in just a few seconds, they will not become a problem in their own lives.

As for what happens to them after they are taken away by garbage trucks?

There are only a very small number of people who care about this kind of thing without personal experience.

At most, most people can only have a brief moment of worry after seeing some investigative reports, but in the blink of an eye, they still throw away what they should throw away, continue to use what they should use, and still become garbage producers.

During this time, Qin Xu's food for alienated termites and the materials for building ant nests all came from the garbage generated by his home and unit.

Now Qin Xu, even if he buys a meat bun and a plastic bag containing the bun, he will knead it up and take it home, cut it up and let the alienated termites gnaw it away.

Not to mention the kitchen waste produced by the Qin family every day, whether it is radish skins, fruit skins, fish bones, meat bones, crab shells, all of which are on the recipe list of alienated termites.

For ordinary termites, the range of recipes is not so wide, and the termites born after the alienated termites are almost always willing to accept any ingredient.

Even if it's metal or plastic, it's the same.

When Qin Xu heard Old Master Qin say that he brought the plastic bag over, the doubts in his heart became even heavier.

According to what Master Qin said, he took a bag of cloud cakes.

This is still a small snack bought by his grandparents, and after eating it, it was taken by Qin Xu.

This kind of plastic bag for food packaging is the most frequently touched plastic waste in daily life.

All kinds of food and goods are packed in these plastic bags and placed on the shelves cleanly and neatly, and customers buy them back, and after dismantling them, they basically have no value for reuse, and they are directly stuffed into the trash.

Qin Xu took the plastic bag over.

The silver-gray cat barely made any other movements except for shaking its head, until Qin Xu was holding the plastic bag, less than twenty centimeters away from its mouth.

It stopped and shook its head, its crystal gray eyes staring at Qin Xu.

"Hand the plastic bag to its mouth. Old Master Qin said something that Qin Xu sounded whimsical about.

"Cats also eat plastic bags?" Qin Xu asked in disbelief.

Termites eat plastic bags, wood and cardboard, Qin Xu can still accept it, but a cat with an elegant posture looks too weird when it eats these things.

Unless......

Qin Xu suddenly remembered Old Qin's purpose of cultivating alienated termites, and an idea popped up in his mind.

"Cats don't eat plastic bags, but they do. Old Master Qin floated to Qin Xu's hand, pushed Qin Xu's hand holding the plastic bag to the cat's mouth,

This cat finally has a new move.

It opened its mouth, bit the corner of the plastic bag, and chewed a few times, and a small sharp corner of the plastic bag was bitten off by it, leaving only a small gap.

"It's not a cat, isn't it a real cat?" Qin Xu said this, remembering that just now, when he touched its cat hair, the tips of his fingers felt a warm feeling, and he didn't believe what he said.

Soft cat hair, and will swing their heads to sell cuteness, why is it not a cat?

"Yes," Old Master Qin said, looking at the cat gnawing on the plastic bag one bite after another, "You see it moves, you see it eats, but in fact, it's not a real cat, it's just a termite nest that looks exactly like a cat." It's just dolls. ”

Cats, ant nests, dolls?

"But it's hot. Qin Xu brushed aside the silver-gray cat hair on the cat's body and asked, "It also turns its head, it's very cute." ”

"Ordinary termites can keep their nests in a constant temperature and humidity environment, and the body temperature of the cats you have touched is actually the ability to alienate termites. ”

"What about the head?" Qin Xu carefully recalled the cat's action of turning its head just now, and found that when it turned its head, its expression was still a little sluggish, and it was not as aura as a real cat.

"The alienated soldier ant can not only control part of the movements of the nest, but also the defender of the nest. Old Master Qin explained.

Qin Xu and Old Master Qin were talking, and the plastic bag in Qin Xu's hand had been gnawed away by the silver-gray termite nest cat. ”

"Well, it looks like you've got a good appetite. Qin Xu stretched out his hand and patted the head of this cat, which was not a cat, and said with emotion, "It seems that the speed of gnawing plastic bags is faster than usual?"

"No, the alien ants in its mouth just rough process these things, and then the food or other materials are carried to the anthill and then processed more finely. Old Master Qin squinted his eyes for a while and explained.

When Qin Xu saw this perfect-looking cat, he found that his original guess about the ability of alienated termites was wrong.

Qin Xu always thought that the decorations on the building that Old Master Qin wanted should be to let this kind of termites that gnaw on everything gnaw out the shape.

I really never thought that they had directly turned their nest into a near-real animal.

Imagine that the inside of this cat's body is not flesh and blood, not internal organs, but thousands of termite worker ants one by one, who work together to raise young ants, feed the queen, and reinforce and build the nest all the time.

Well, by the way, maybe in the heart of the place, there is still a white and fat alienated ant queen, laying eggs all the time,

No wonder Master Qin said that there is nothing wrong with anything else except being bigger.

Qin Xu took another piece of discarded paper, rolled it into strips, and handed it to the mouth of the "cat".

The alien ants in the mouth of the "cat" can process paper much faster than plastic bags.

To use a more intuitive adjective, handling plastic bags is like eating chewy rice cakes, while handling paper is like nibbling on crispy biscuits.
