Zhong Ping brought back a machine - a mousetrap.
The task assigned by his superiors took him several months of hard work to develop.
The principle is similar to that of an ultrasonic fish trap. The sound waves emitted by the machine will stimulate the mouse's brain, causing their sympathetic nerves to become excited, causing them to enter hallucinations, their bodies to become sluggish, and they will be unable to wake up within two hours.
Jiang Ning thought, "Just like cats are attracted to catnip?"
That’s right, Zhong Ping’s inspiration came from catnip.
The people at home are suffering from the infestation of rats, and there are also many survivors outside who have been bitten by rats. Although the hospital and the epidemic prevention department are prepared, it is not easy to resume drug production. Only the most conservative treatment can be adopted, so the situation is not optimistic.
Zhong Ping meant that the two floors should continue to cooperate and try to eliminate all the rats.
Jiang Ning had no objection. Although there was a dog in charge, dogs would also get tired. Not only had he lost weight in the past two days, he was so tired that he even snored in his sleep and even in his dreams he was fighting a red-eyed rat for three hundred 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 poisoning.
No matter which one, it was not what she wanted to see.
So, everyone tested the mousetrap on the spot.
Opening the corridor windows on the 17th floor, as well as the doors and windows of the other two households, the powered mousetraps made a slight buzzing sound.
About ten minutes later, a rat with huge eyes crawled out of the sewer.
I saw it circling the mousetrap non-stop, making a squeaking sound, its movements gradually becoming slower, its red eyes filled with intoxication...
Uh, it's like taking drugs.
A few minutes later, the mouse staggered and fell down.
More and more mice climbed up, and in less than half an hour there were more than a dozen of them.
Zhang Chao and others were dumbfounded. This is technology.
The cooperation was reached. The 18th floor was responsible for catching and killing rats around the clock, the Zhong family provided the mousetraps, and the two families took turns to send the captured and killed rats to the neighborhood committee for registration, and the canned food they exchanged were split in half.
The people on the 18th floor were not interested in canned food, but they were worried about the infestation of rats, so they agreed readily in order to improve their living environment.
So, the mousetrap was carried to the 18th floor and the doors and windows of the corridor were opened.
One person works one day, divided into day and evening shifts.
According to the house number, Huo Yishen was the first in line. He came out once every two hours and killed the hallucinogenic red-eyed rats and threw them into a sack.
By the next morning, a total of 106 rats had been killed.
Not everyone can lift more than 100 pounds.
When it was Jiang Ning's turn, she didn't even have to do anything, Gouzi took care of the job.
There were relatively fewer mice during the day, and more than 70 were caught and killed.
Huo Yishen went downstairs carrying the speedboat on his back, while Jiang Ning carried a sack of rats.
Wearing a constant temperature suit as a base layer and medical-grade protective clothing as an outer layer, and wearing a mask tightly, he drove a speedboat to the neighborhood committee to hand over the rat.
There is still a lot of floating garbage in the water, but after vigorous publicity and remediation by relevant departments, the environment is much better than in the previous life, and there is no news of an epidemic for the time being.
You know, it had already erupted at this time in the previous life.
Many people come to the neighborhood committee to hand in rats, but most people only have a few, and having more than a dozen is considered serious.
When the staff learned that the rats were from Unit 1 of Jinrong Community, they were shocked. “Are the rats in your area rampant? Someone came here this morning and handed in more than 100 kilograms of rats.”
Jiang Ning nodded, "Yeah, there are rats everywhere. We can't even set foot there."
The canned food is exchanged every half a month, and the two men leave after delivering the goods.
The sun had already set, the heat had dissipated a little, and the survivors began to come out and move around.
After the extreme cold, the number of rubber boats and speedboats has dropped sharply, and people are avoided when they see them to avoid being robbed on the water.
Even if you go out in the evening, the temperature has reached 50 degrees. Although you wear a constant temperature clothing as a base, the perceived temperature is still not low, not to mention that the protective clothing is not breathable.
When they returned to the 18th floor, both of their clothes were wet.
Jiang Ning went into the space to take a shower, and then took the dog to 1801 for dinner.
The two cats were stuck in the house for a whole day. Even with the air conditioner on, they were wilted, with their heads drooping and no appetite.
Jiang Ning did the same, and whispered to Huo Yishen, "Shall we eat cold noodles?"
The goods were stockpiled by Jiang Ning, so he had no objection. "Okay."
She took out a dozen cucumbers from the space and taught Huo Yishen how to beat the cucumbers.
If you make a lot, you need to use a large basin to mix the dough after crushing it, leaving enough for three people and storing the rest in space.
It’s sour and spicy and refreshing, and it whets your appetite immediately.
Dogs can’t eat spicy food, so I mixed some goat milk into the dog food and added a piece of chicken breast.
For several consecutive days, more than 100 kilograms of rats were collected on the 18th floor every day.
People downstairs couldn't help but murmur, "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 higher floors.
Rats can swim, they are mobile. If there are fewer rats in Unit 1, they will be replenished from other places.
So, the other floors also began to wonder.
It is true that red-eyed rats are ferocious, but as long as you are careful to avoid being bitten, you will have a chance to catch them and fill your stomach.
Amid doubts, the municipal government issued an announcement that scientific researchers had successfully developed a mousetrap and staff would be visiting homes to exterminate rats soon.
Then, a funny scene occurred.
Many survivors blocked the entrance to the community, preventing staff from entering to carry out their work.
They have no control over whether others live or die, but if all the rats are caught, how will they survive?
Even the neighborhood committee’s visit to do ideological work was ineffective.
Blocking the door is useless, as the staff brought large mousetraps with a working diameter of up to 100 meters.
They pretended to leave, but actually turned a corner and started working outside the community.
