Chapter 85 Su Cheng's risk is too high
Su Cheng immediately understood Lu Xingtang's intention. They could exchange disinfectant or pesticide for supplies.
After Su Cheng had made sure everything was ok, he showed the order to Lu Xingtang. The three of them immediately started to act. Lu Xingtang generously took out a gas mask, which made Su Cheng jealous. Lu Xingtang quietly returned home and took out a gas mask and gave it to Su Cheng: "It costs money!"
Su Cheng happily accepted it: "I'll treat you to dumplings!"
"It's a deal!"
Ji Yanmo looked down at the gas mask in his hand. He actually didn't need to take it out.
The main ingredient of disinfectant is sodium hypochlorite, and the main ingredients of insecticide are permethrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, etc.
Su Hao is a chemistry professor. Making disinfectants and pesticides is child's play for him.
According to Su Hao's reminder, they drove a speedboat to their destination. Unfortunately, the building had been soaked by floods, and they could not guarantee that they could find chemical components such as sodium hypochlorite that had not been soaked through.
After getting off the speedboat, Lu Xingtang saw that the ground and the water were densely packed with insects. He felt sick and had goosebumps all over his body.
Lu Xingtang took out a pair of gloves from her backpack and put them on. She had already worn a pair, but couldn't stand the bugs on the ground, walls, and water, so she brought another pair. If it weren't for the fact that wearing protective clothing was too conspicuous, she would definitely wear it.
After entering the building, the three of them began to search and found a lot of chemical tools, but they were very dirty from being soaked in water, and all the instruments were covered with bacteria and insect eggs.
They searched for about three hours and finally found all the chemical ingredients for making disinfectant and pesticides. Then they took home the items that could be taken home. Before taking them upstairs, Su Cheng quickly went upstairs and took out the disinfectant and disinfectant wipes at home. He disinfected the utensils and the packaging of the chemical materials, wiped them clean, and then took them back to the 19th floor.
They started making disinfectant only after they had successfully disinfected all the instruments, with Su Hao giving instructions.
In ten minutes, the three of them successfully learned the method of making disinfectant. After making a bucket of disinfectant, they used the stairs and corridors on the 19th floor to test it. Lu Xingtang was surprised to find that the disinfectant he made was better than the one he bought.
Then they made insecticide, which was quite effective. They sprayed the insects clinging to the exterior wall, and they died immediately. It was truly an insecticide.
That night, Min Weihuan brought back the residents of the apartment building who had gone to the hospital for treatment. Seeing that they were all dejected, Lu Xingtang probably knew the situation.
After being infected with parasites in the previous life, the hospital was suddenly overcrowded. There were few doctors and medicines to begin with, and soon the medicine ran out. No matter how long everyone waited at the hospital entrance, no medicine would appear.
However, people who went to the trading market had some gains and brought back some medicine. With no other choice, everyone divided a pill into two or three parts and took the medicine according to the severity of the illness. For mild cases, they took one-third of a pill, for average cases, they took two-thirds, and for severe cases, they took one pill.
The medicine to be taken with water is shared by several people in a large glass of water.
At least there is medicine to drink.
Min Weihuan was upset when he saw the residents sharing medicine to survive. He once again approached Lu Xingtang and said, "Lu Xingtang, I know you three are experts at finding supplies. You must be able to find medicine. Look, please help us. We are willing to exchange expensive food for medicine!"
When the residents returned from the trading market, they brought back medicine and a message saying that the weekly supplies would still be distributed as usual and they could still go to get them. If everyone lived frugally, they would definitely be able to come up with supplies and ask Lu Xingtang to help them find medicine.
Lu Xingtang looked at Min Weihuan, who was full of grief and despair. Thinking of the many medicines in the space, she agreed to help the people in the apartment building find medicines, and she would use the market price as the basis. She would not extort money from the apartment building.
Min Weihuan was so happy that he almost knelt down to Lu Xingtang, so he immediately told the people in the apartment building the news. Everyone in the apartment building came to thank Lu Xingtang and said that they would definitely gather all the supplies and get the medicine from her.
Lu Xingtang sent them back, leaving Min Weihuan behind. "We've developed disinfectant and insecticide. Do you want them? If so, considering you're a good person, I'll give you a friendly price: one kilogram of grain for one bottle of disinfectant or one bottle of insecticide."
Min Weihuan had someone inquire at the trading market. 500ml of disinfectant required eight kilograms of grain. Pesticide was even more expensive and less effective, requiring 10 kilograms of grain for 500ml.
Lu Xingtang offered them a bargain price, so how could Min Weihuan miss it? He immediately exchanged disinfectant and pesticide for ten kilograms of food from Lu Xingtang.
With disinfectant and pesticide, their apartment building is much safer.
"Min Weihuan, how about we make a deal?" Lu Xingtang didn't want to go out under the scorching sun to sell disinfectant. Min Weihuan and his men were short of supplies, medicine, and pesticides. "Find a few reliable people and sell pesticides and disinfectants in the residential complex. Two kilograms of grain for 500ml of disinfectant, and two kilograms of grain for 200ml of pesticide.
As long as you sell them, no matter how much you sell, I will give you supplies or clean water as compensation. Then it will depend on whether you need food or water. I will give you whatever you want!"
The thing she has the most is water. There is an endless supply of water in the space, so she will never run out of water!
When the water stored outside is used up, we will find a way to find water "outside"!
Min Weihuan was as happy as a child: "That's great! Our building is saved!"
Su Cheng and Ji Yanmo had no objection to Lu Xingtang's decision. They understood that the disinfectant and insecticide business wouldn't last long. The water level would drop significantly during such extreme heat, and how long could insects and viruses survive in such high temperatures? Perhaps by the time the water level returned to the ground floor, all the insects and viruses would be dead.
According to the current water level drop, it will be gone in about three or four days.
Although they had less water, they could get a lot of supplies in exchange for disinfectant and pesticide. No matter how you look at it, they made a profit.
After Min Weihuan told the residents of the apartment building the news, they were all shocked. They immediately went upstairs to find Lu Xingtang and others, saying that they could now go out to sell disinfectant and pesticides. They would absolutely do their job and would never steal any supplies from the 19th floor.
Lu Xingtang handed this task to Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng because she had to go out to look for medicine.
Ji Yanmo was worried about Lu Xingtang, even though he knew that Lu Xingtang was just going out for an excuse and would definitely find the medicine when he came back. However, it was very dangerous to go out at night, so he expressed his desire to go out with Lu Xingtang. Lu Xingtang wanted to refuse, but Su Cheng spoke for Ji Yanmo, making Lu Xingtang hold back his words of refusal. Lu Xingtang understood that Su Cheng and Ji Yanmo were just worried about his safety, so after hesitating for a moment, he agreed.
The risk of bringing Ji Yanmo along is low, but the risk of bringing Su Cheng along is too high.
