Without hesitation, Lu Yuan immediately led his family, dressed in protective suits, and went outside.
Insects were everywhere, but they looked very weak and no longer had the ability to attack humans.
However, we still need to prepare the necessary protective clothing, since we don't know if these insects have any toxins on them.
Based on their current test results, there are no toxins, but caution is still advised.
Lu Yuan carried a huge trash can from behind, while Xiao Shan carried a broom and a dustpan.
Because there were a lot of insects, they quickly gathered some relatively clean-looking insects from an open space in front of the door. Lu Yuan squatted down so that Xiao Shan could easily put the contents of the shovel into the trash can.
They had filled the entire trash can to the brim after walking less than five meters.
Looking at the thick layer of insects on the ground, Lu Yuan suddenly had an idea.
If only these insects could feed living organisms!
However, the thought only flashed through his mind; he didn't know what would happen next, so he had to wait.
So everyone went home, and Lu Yuan took the insects to the kitchen.
However, these insects carried a terrible stench. As they passed through the living room, Qiqi immediately wrinkled her nose and shouted, "Dad, what are you holding? They stink!"
Xiao Shan, while taking off her protective suit, leaned over and said, "Honey, let's go upstairs. It stinks downstairs. Let Daddy do it by himself, okay?"
Qiqi covered her nose and glanced curiously toward the kitchen.
But the stench was so strong that she was hesitant to investigate what the new culprit might be.
So, in this state of confusion, she finally returned to her room.
Lu Yuan took off his protective suit by himself. Looking at the countless worms still wriggling in the trash can, he felt somewhat nauseous.
These things practically triggered Lu Yuan's trypophobia.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Yuan put on his mask.
The smell here is so strong; he didn't know that this stuff would sell after he brought it here.
Anyway, Lu Yuan would never eat this stuff, and he wouldn't allow his family to eat it either.
It would be a real loss if you contracted some kind of disease.
But what exactly is the content of this substance? Lu Yuan needs to conduct some testing now.
First, they brought over the examination report sent by Chen Yan. This insect is rich in protein, and also contains a lot of organic matter and minerals, so it should be fine as food.
However, its body contains a toxin, and the claws and head of the insect are absolutely inedible, as they will cause irreversible damage to the body if ingested.
If these substances accumulate, they can cause various diseases or lesions in a person.
Lu Yuan first examined the insect, then cut off its limbs and head.
Suddenly, a stream of green liquid flowed out of his body. This green liquid had a very strong smell; it was the blood of the insect.
Blood also contains trace amounts of toxins, but although it smells bad, it is not fatal. The toxins will disappear after being cooked at high temperatures.
After working on it for a while, Lu Yuan finally managed to get a pot full of insects. The trash can was already full of all sorts of claws and heads. Lu Yuan put the processed insects into the pot, added water, and turned on the tap.
With a bang, the flames began to flicker.
The water in the pot slowly bubbled up as it was heated to a high temperature.
When the pot finally boiled, the stench inside became even stronger.
Lu Yuan didn't even dare to lift the lid, and turned the range hood on to its maximum.
The gurgling air continued to flow out in other directions through the chimney.
Although Lu Yuan was wearing a mask, he could still smell an unbearable stench.
The smell made him feel like his stomach was cramping. Finally, after about ten minutes, the insects looked different and the smell wasn't as strong as before.
However, there is still a stench, like that of a shoe insole, which is somewhat unbearable, though it is much better than before.
Lu Yuan extinguished the fire, opened the lid, and a strong smell wafted over again.
Lu Yuan looked at it, found a pair of chopsticks, and then broke off the back part of the chopsticks to prevent them from being mixed up with the chopsticks he used at home.
Having taken care of everything, Lu Yuan picked up one of the insects and placed it on a plate, examining it carefully.
The insect's body had deformed, revealing the white flesh inside.
The meat looked like it had green, thread-like strands inside, which were probably the insect's blood vessels.
Blood vessels are distributed throughout its muscles, making it virtually impossible to remove them.
In addition to the main blood vessels, there are also capillaries, which are very delicate, similar to the structure of the human body.
Don't underestimate this tiny insect; it has everything you need.
Lu Yuan stood with his hands on his hips, staring at the insect for a long time, still feeling a little apprehensive. Could this thing really be eaten?
Lu Yuan decided to give it a try, but just as he picked up his chopsticks to take a bite, he heard a knock on the door behind him.
Xiao Shan shook her head at him with a slightly annoyed look on her face. It seemed she didn't want him to eat it either.
Lu Yuan finally found a reason not to eat this dirty stuff.
So he put down his chopsticks, put on his mask, and peeked at Xiaoshan through a crack in the door.
"Ugh, it stinks! Close the door, let's talk through it!"
Xiao Shan closed the door again, and then began to speak to Lu Yuan through the door.
Because the room was quite humid, Lu Yuan wiped the moisture off the glass door with his hand and looked at Xiao Shan: "This thing doesn't look very appetizing, and it smells terrible. It's basically ready to eat after one cooking session. What should we do?"
Xiao Shan picked up the folded paper on her phone and wrote: "Why don't we just sell it to the military? They're already talking about it."
Lu Yuan had some doubts: "Why do you think the military would accept these kinds of insects? Could they have some other plans?"
Just then, another message came through on my phone.
Xiao Shan quickly picked up her phone and glanced at it, then a look of surprise appeared on her face.
She pressed her phone against the glass door, and Lu Yuan immediately saw a message.
"The military is preparing to put into operation two omnivorous chicken and duck farms and a pig farm!"
Upon seeing this message, Lu Yuan immediately understood what had happened.
The military acquired these items to feed chickens, ducks, and pigs, which seems plausible.
