NOVEL WEB Chapter 147 The Mousetrap
Zhong Ping came back with a machine - a mousetrap.
It took him several months of painstaking research and development for the task sent down above.
The principle is similar to that of ultrasonic throwing fish traps. The sound waves emitted by the machine will stimulate the brains of mice, causing their sympathetic nerves to be excited, and the body becomes slow when they enter hallucinations, and they cannot wake up within two hours.
Jiang Ning was thoughtful, "Like cats are attracted by catnip?"
That's right, Zhong Ping was inspired by catnip.
The home was plagued by rats, and many survivors outside were bitten by rats. Although the hospital and the epidemic prevention department were prepared, it was not easy to resume drug production. We could only adopt the most conservative treatment, so the situation was not optimistic. .
Zhong Ping meant that the two floors would continue to cooperate to try to wipe out the rats.
Jiang Ning has no objection. Although there are dogs in the town, the dogs are also tired. In the past two days, not only have they lost weight, they are so tired that they snore when they sleep. In their dreams, they are still fighting red-eyed mice for 300 rounds.
Extremely hot weather is undoubtedly a disaster for dogs who can only dissipate heat through their tongues.
Drinking too much water can also cause water intoxication.
No matter which one, it is not what she wants to see.
So, everyone tested the mousetrap on the spot.
Open the aisle window on the 17th floor, and the doors and windows of the other two houses, and the mousetrap that is plugged in makes a slight buzzing sound.
About ten minutes later, the mouse with huge eyes climbed up along the sewer.
I saw it circling around the mousetrap, making a creaking sound, its movements gradually slowed down, and its red eyes were full of intoxication...
Uh, it's like taking drugs.
After a few minutes, the mouse fell crookedly.
More and more mice climbed up one after another, and there were more than a dozen of them in less than half an hour.
Zhang Chao and others were dumbfounded, this is technology.
The cooperation was reached. The 18th floor was in charge of catching and killing mice around the clock. The Zhong family produced mouse traps. The two families took turns sending the culled mice to the neighborhood committee for registration.
The 18th floor is not interested in canned food, but is worried about being plagued by rats, and agrees to improve the living environment.
So, the mousetrap was carried to the 18th floor, and the doors and windows of the aisle were opened.
One person takes turns for one day, divided into day and night shifts.
According to the house number, Huo Yishen ranked first. He came out once every two hours, killed the hallucinogenic red-eyed mouse and threw it into a sack.
By the next morning, a total of 106 mice had been killed.
More than 100 kilograms, not everyone can lift it.
When it was Jiang Ning's turn, Gouzi got the job done without her being involved at all.
There were relatively few rats during the day, and more than 70 were killed.
Huo Yishen went downstairs with the assault boat on his back, while Jiang Ning carried a sack of rats.
The bottom layer is the constant temperature clothing, the outer layer is medical-grade protective clothing, and the mask is tightly covered. He drives the assault boat to the neighborhood committee to hand over the mice.
There are still a lot of floating garbage in the water, but after vigorous publicity and rectification by relevant departments, the environment is much better than in the previous life, and there is no news of the epidemic for the time being.
You know, it had already erupted at this time in the previous life.
There are quite a few rats who come to the neighborhood committee to hand over rats, but others only have a few, and a dozen or so are already very powerful.
When they learned that it belonged to Unit 1 of Jinrong Community, the staff was extremely shocked, "Are your rats rampant? A family from your building came over in the morning and handed over 100 catties."
Jiang Ning nodded, "Well, our place is full of rats, and they can't get their feet off of it."
The cans are exchanged every half a month, and the two leave after delivering the goods.
At this time, the sun had set, and the heat dissipated a little, and the survivors began to come out for activities.
After the extreme cold, the number of rubber boats and assault boats dropped sharply, and they avoided people far away to avoid being robbed by people on the water.
Even if you go out in the evening, the temperature has reached 50 degrees. Although there are constant temperature clothing as a base, the body temperature is not low, not to mention that the protective clothing is not breathable.
Back on the 18th floor, both of their clothes were wet.
Jiang Ning entered the space to take a bath, and then took the dog to 1801 for dinner.
The two had been bored in the house all day, even with the air-conditioning fan, they were sluggish, shaking their heads and losing their appetite.
The same is true for Jiang Ning, and he discussed with Huo Yishen in a low voice, "Eat Liangpi?"
The goods were stocked by Jiang Ning, and he had no objection, "Okay."
She took out a dozen cucumbers from the space and taught Huo Yi to pat the cucumbers deeply.
If you make too much, you have to stir it in a big basin after smashing it, leaving enough for three people, and storing the rest in the space.
The hot, sour and spicy taste is refreshing enough to whet the appetite all of a sudden.
Dogs can't eat spicy food, so the dog food is mixed with some milk and a piece of chicken breast is added.
For several days, more than 100 catties of rats were collected on the 18th floor every day.
Downstairs couldn't help muttering, "Strange, why are there fewer mice?"
The operating range of the mousetrap is 30 meters in diameter, and the mice affected by the sound waves run to the upper floors.
Rats can swim, they are swimmers, the ones in unit 1 are less, and other places will replenish them.
Therefore, the other floors followed suit.
It is true that red-eyed mice are ferocious, but as long as you are careful not to be bitten, you have a chance to catch them for food.
When in doubt, the municipal government issued an announcement that scientific researchers had successfully developed a mousetrap, and staff would come to the door to eradicate rats in the near future.
Thus, a funny scene appeared.
Many survivors blocked the entrance of the community, preventing staff from entering and working.
They don't care whether others die or not, but if the mice are caught, how should they live?
It is not even possible for the neighborhood committee to come to do ideological work.
It is useless to block the door. The large mousetrap brought by the staff has a working diameter of up to 100 meters.
They pretended to leave, but actually turned a corner and started working outside the community.
Then, a shocking scene appeared, many drunken mice appeared in the water, swimming in the water unsteadily.
The staff directly used nets to catch them and threw them into iron cages.
However, it was still discovered by the survivors, and some of the brave ones even came over by paddling assault boats, and reached out to ask the staff, with an extremely excited tone, "You have all been captured, what do we live on?"
The staff did not dare to give it away, and many people died from eating rat meat, which had to go through a special process of high-temperature sterilization.
Of course, they also understand the difficulty of the survivors, try to be gentle in tone to avoid conflicts, and retreat first if it doesn't work.
After more than half a month of continuous mouse hunting, the number of red-eyed mice in all districts of Fengcheng dropped sharply.
Even with the mousetrap on, only about a dozen or so can be caught in a day.
At the same time, the neighborhood committee distributed special cockroach medicine.
Jiang Ning took a few copies back when he sent the mice, and it was indeed very effective, and the big cockroaches were finally wiped out.
Celebrating on the 18th floor, the only ones who are unhappy are the rabbits, they are going to eat grass again.
The extreme heat continued, and Fengcheng was cooking in a pot every day.
The tortured survivors are half-baked and spend their days crying.
Extreme heat, lack of water, lack of food, hunger...
The only good news for them is that the filtered water is coming out.
No one cares about how the water comes from. They dare not think about it, let alone think about it. What they worry about is how to get the water back?
They haven't showered for a month, they are sweating and oily, and they dare not even look in the mirror.
Some people with sharp eyes and ears followed the trend and stocked up on water in advance, and they can still live a little bit.
There are all kinds of life, how difficult the people's livelihood is, and howls are endless.
On this day, Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen went to see the mouse off. Just when they reached the corner of the fifth floor, they saw a snake coming out of the water and swimming along the stairs...
