Chapter 26 Solutions
A group of people in the conference room looked at Suning, their faces full of confusion and curiosity.
They want to know more answers to this question and hope to get specific information from Suning.
Suning looked at everyone's expectant eyes and didn't say much nonsense.
She explained directly, "Commander Liu, although this mushroom does contain toxins, it is not the root cause of the diarrhea in many people. The real cause of diarrhea is due to other ingredients in this mushroom."
As he spoke, Suning took out a sharp knife and carefully cut the mushroom under the surprised gaze of everyone.
She pointed to some tiny particles that looked very similar to mushroom spores that she had picked off from the worm mushroom and said, "Perhaps many people find it difficult to distinguish them. In fact, these are not mushroom spores, but insect eggs! And these insect eggs are the culprit that causes people's diarrhea.
There is also a type of mushroom called the worm mushroom, which has the characteristic of attracting various insects to reproduce and lay eggs in it.”
After listening to Suning's explanation, everyone turned their eyes to the cut mushroom, with deep fear in their eyes.
"In other words, the reason those people had abdominal pain was because there were worms in their stomachs..." Liu Jianjun frowned and said in a heavy tone.
However, he didn't finish his words, and everyone in the conference room turned pale as paper.
Suning nodded, but no one in the meeting room believed Suning's words.
One of the white-haired elders, Bai Yonghe, began to raise his own questions. "Comrade Xiao Su, it's not that I doubt you, but your talent isn't limited to just detecting whether food is poisonous. How do you know the scientific name of this mushroom is Chongchong Mushroom and its characteristics so clearly?"
At this moment, everyone also noticed that Suning was unusual.
Faced with doubts, Suning was not panicked but relieved.
She was fully prepared.
When Zhang Xing invited her to come, she deliberately brought a backpack.
Now, she took out a bottle from her backpack, which contained a bug mushroom.
In fact, this is not the first time Suning has seen the bug mushroom.
She had seen it in a death worm breeding area on the farm.
“Please look here.”
Suning took out a transparent jar with a worm mushroom inside, but unlike before, there were now two death worms entangled in it.
It's clear what they are doing.
Soon, many insect eggs were laid under the insect mushroom.
Suning did not waste any time during her week at the [Farming Farm]. She used her free time to search for and collect various items and put them into her scavenger backpack.
This bug mushroom is one of them, so we know the harm of bug mushroom.
“The dungeon I entered is called the Breeding Farm, where many breeders are breeding insect mushrooms.
Therefore, I am very familiar with the habits of these mushrooms. Their function is to provide a breeding ground for insects! "Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
As the base commander of the shelter, Liu Jianjun chose to refuse without hesitation when the system asked him whether he was willing to enter the copy in order to protect the shelter.
Despite this, he still managed to get a lot of information through communication with the logistics staff.
Among the five copies that appeared this time, there are two with the highest mortality rate: one is [Evil Ghost Coming], and the other is [Farm Breeding].
After Su Ning explained in detail why she knew about the bug mushroom, Liu Jianjun decisively waved his hand and said, "Now that we have found the problem, we must take immediate action to solve it!"
Bai Yonghe said, "If we confirm that they have parasites in their stomachs, then the only way is to use anthelmintics to treat them.
However, as long as worm mushrooms exist, people will likely continue to eat them.”
Obviously, the most pressing problem remains food shortage.
After all, hunger is the primary challenge facing humanity.
"We must first address the residents' diarrhea problem. We can't stop building the shelters, but we'll also include an anti-worm pill in the daily rations to see if it can treat those who have already ingested the worm mushrooms."
As for the insect mushroom, Liu Jianjun didn't know how to deal with it.
This thing is said to be poisonous, but it can be eaten. However, eating it will cause insect eggs to hatch, causing the person who takes it to have diarrhea directly. Of course, there may be more serious problems.
Medical care is very difficult right now.
Liu Jianjun immediately decided to "collect the insect mushrooms and destroy them together!"
“I don’t think this approach is feasible.”
"I have some ideas!"
Suddenly two voices rang out at the same time.
Liu Jianjun looked at the two people who spoke at the same time.
Su Ning also looked at the man who was talking to her at the same time.
The man was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked very gentle.
Liu Jianjun: "Researcher Yan, do you have any questions?"
Yan Wenshou adjusted his glasses.
"Destroying it directly would be a waste. This worm mushroom has very important research value. We can use it to cultivate useful insects."
Suning has the same idea as researcher Yan.
Food is scarce now, but some insects can be eaten, and some insects are rich in protein and nutrients, which are indispensable nutrients for people today.
Liu Jianjun looked at Suning, as if asking what Suning thought.
"Researcher Yan and I share the same idea. Although the current diarrhea and other problems are caused by the worm mushroom, it doesn't mean that the worm mushroom is all bad."
After Suning finished expressing his views, Liu Jianjun began a detailed discussion with the senior management of the Sixth Shelter, and there was no mention of Suning during this period.
When Suning was about to leave, he was stopped by Researcher Yan.
"Miss Su, please wait a moment!"
"Is there anything wrong, Researcher Yan?" Su Ning wondered why this person called him.
Yan Wenshou looked at Su Ning, who was a little wary of him, and touched his nose embarrassedly, thinking in his heart, "Am I that scary?"
He was somewhat confident about his appearance, but that wasn't what he came here to talk about.
"I'm actually a little curious about the bug mushroom in your hand and the bug inside it."
Yan Wenshou introduced himself, "I'm a researcher at the Institute of Animal Husbandry, researching new ecological crops and animals."
He wanted to know from Suning what he had seen and heard in the [Farming Farm] dungeon in the past few days. He felt very sorry that he had not entered such a dungeon. If he had entered the Farming Farm dungeon, he would not only be able to bring out useful resources from the dungeon, but also learn a lot from the dungeon.
In this way, we can save the current blue planet.
After the unknown magnetic field attack, coupled with the arrival of extreme temperature.
The soil on the blue planet is subject to unknown pollution and is not suitable for planting and breeding, which poses a huge challenge to mankind.
Su Ning understood why Researcher Yan came and admired him very much, but she couldn't hand the jar in her hand to Researcher Yan.
Because the death worms laying eggs inside are too dangerous, if they accidentally parasitize Researcher Yan, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Although Yan Wenshou felt regretful, he also understood Suning's concerns and did not force it.
After returning home, Suning discovered that not only the Sixth Shelter, but people all over the world were facing the same dilemma.
Due to the increase in the number of insects, anti-insect drugs have become the most scarce supplies.
