Infinite Disaster Survival

Chapter 163 Chapter 163 (1/2)

In late April, research experts adjusted the composition ratio of insect-proof paint several times. After the final version was determined, the country rushed to test the insect-proof paint again and again.

Since the announcement of the research and development progress of insect-proof paint to boost people's confidence, people have been looking forward to it every day.

Finally, the insect-proof paint was officially announced to be a success.

"It really succeeded. Our country is really great."

"This time, I will see who dares to doubt the scientific research level of our country again. I must scold them."

"How much insect-proof paint can be produced every day? How long will it take for us to get our turn? I'm really tired of the days when my house is full of insects."

Producing insect-proof paint in quantities that can meet national needs, just like producing locust killers before, takes a certain amount of time.

The processing plants that were used to make mutant locusts into fertilizer and feed have all been included in the state-owned scope. As soon as the insect-proof paint was developed into a prototype, these processing plants were expanded and renovated, and now the production line of insect-proof paint has been added.

In the past half month, local governments have sent personnel to purchase raw materials for the production of insect-proof coatings. After receiving the news that the test was completed and production could be carried out, the raw materials were immediately put into the production line that had been waiting for a long time.

The state's purchase of various plants, coupled with the news of insect-proof coating research, ordinary people can basically guess that these are the raw materials needed.

Three of them are medicinal materials. The number of wild ones is relatively small, but because of medical requirements, there are many medicinal material planting bases that cultivate them. Warehouses and many hospitals have stocks, and it does not affect the effect.

The remaining two kinds of plants are difficult to dig directly from the warehouse, because they are rarely used as medicines, and there are more or less toxic components in the body. People also plant less, mostly wild.

At that time, the government specially recruited a group of personnel, first trained them in advance on how to pick, so as to avoid improper operation of planting, and then organized the team to run fully armed to pick in the wild full of insects, and then pulled them back by car to dry them first, and then waited for the next arrangement.

When the official news of the successful development of insect-proof coating was announced, the news of the acquisition of these raw materials was also released, and the public was encouraged to try to grow these plants. A video describing the key points of the picking and planting process was also released.

"Lao Li, are you going to the mountain? There are too many insects on the mountain. Zhang Laoer from the next village was bitten by an insect and no one was saved."

"My family is afraid, so we have to wrap our bodies tightly before we dare to go up. Lao Wang, there are so many plants needed by the country on the mountain. It would be a pity if we don’t pick them now and wait for them to be eaten by insects. If we pick more, we can use the insect-proof coating earlier."

"The insect-proof coating is so small, I don’t know how long it will take for us to get our turn." Lao Wang, who asked the question, looked at the mountain and shook his head, but still didn’t dare to go up.

The family of Lao Li who went up the mountain did not dare to go to the place with the most dense vegetation at first, but picked at the foot of the mountain now, and then slowly moved up after picking all the plants below.

After picking, the leaves and branches that the state wants are picked and dried, and then the plants with some branches and leaves left intentionally are planted in the reclaimed fields near their homes to see if they can be raised.

There are also many people who have lost their jobs and have seen this new road. According to the effectiveness of these insect-proof coatings announced by the government, according to data calculations, they can last for up to half a year, and they need to be repainted after half a year.

As long as the problem of insect mutation has not been solved, these raw materials will be purchased in large quantities. Some people take risks and do it right away. Recall that they first raised a batch of chickens and ducks to get rid of insects, and then planted these plants on the reclaimed land.

Local governments organized manpower and set up points to purchase materials. All the purchased raw materials were sent to the nearest processing plant in an unauthorized manner.

After the first batch of insect-proof coatings were produced, local governments were not the first to use them. They were first sent to various hospitals to protect the hospitals used to treat and save people from being invaded by insects.

Next was the research institute.

The first batch of insect-proof coatings produced were distributed and transported over.

The Life Science Research Institute where Wen Zheng works also received a small amount of insect-proof paint, which was all used on the outer walls of the research building. Everyone's dormitories, canteens, etc. were not taken care of, and they still had to wait for more paint to be produced.

On the day of the paint, all personnel rested and could not go in until the smell had dissipated. Everyone stayed in the bedroom to conduct theoretical research, and occasionally looked at the progress on the opposite side.

This insect-proof paint is toxic, so it can be completely dried in one day just by applying it on the outer wall. The smell will be almost gone within 24 hours, and the effect is also very obvious.

However, the insects outside dare not approach, and the insects inside dare not go out, so the insects that run into the house need to be dealt with by themselves. Fortunately, the insects kept in the laboratory for research will not run out.

Working in a laboratory without insects has become much happier. There were already many people who stayed up late to do overtime research, and now the situation is even more serious. More people brought folding beds and small quilts and would rather rest in the laboratory.

In fact, there are more insects in the laboratory, both in species and quantity, but they are all used for experiments, so they are locked in cages. Various chirping, flapping wings and other sounds are mixed together. It is better to rest in the dormitory.

Occasionally, you will encounter insects falling from the sky.

Wen Zheng usually goes back. After leaving the laboratory environment, he occasionally thinks of different ideas.

Unfortunately, this time Wen Zheng just had a little inspiration, and he has not completely walked out of the fog in his mind. Suddenly, a call interrupted Wen Zheng's thoughts.

It was shown that the caller was from an unfamiliar number, but it was not marked as a sales promotion or fraud. Wen Zheng saw the identity marked under the number, and a thought flashed through his mind, and his finger pressed the connect button.

"Is it Wen Zheng? I'm your mother." The content of the conversation from the other side verified Wen Zheng's guess that the caller was the original body's mother.

People who have not contacted for many years, and even their contact information has not been recorded, suddenly came to find him at this time. Wen Zheng did not think that the original body's mother suddenly showed a kind motherly heart and wanted to care about her eldest son who had been forgotten for many years. There must be other purposes.

Wen Zheng wanted to hang up the phone, but considering the little hope for his parents that could be seen in his original memory, he did not make a direct judgment, but whispered: "I am Wen Zheng."

The voice on the other end became much happier after getting the answer, and said some words of concern for Wen Zheng's situation. Wen Zheng patiently answered a few words and heard the crying of a child from the other end, interrupting the other party's next greeting.

"Just tell me what your purpose is this time. I have experiments to do later."

The other end was choked by Wen Zheng's impolite words. We heard unclear voices on the other end. It was probably because the receiver was blocked. Wen Zheng could not distinguish what they said, but he could guess it.

"Since you are in a hurry to do the experiment, I will make it short. I heard that you are working at the National Institute of Life Sciences now. Have you received the first batch of insect-proof paint? Mom hopes you can help get some. You should know that I gave you a younger brother who is still young and afraid of these insects. Please do me this favor for the sake of me being your mother."

"All the insect-proof paints allocated to the institute are used for the protection of the laboratory building. I don't have the ability to help you. You should find someone else. In the future, unless you reach the legal age of needing support from your children, you don't need to call me again for support."

Wen Zheng hung up the phone and blacklisted the mobile phone number.

As a person who truly loves Tuantuan as his own child, and with the original body's feelings for his parents in his mind, Wen Zheng doesn't want to have any contact with such parents again. He only needs to fulfill the legal obligations that the original body should bear.

Maybe it was because the words were clearer, or maybe it was because he found out that the insect-proof paints in the institute had been used up, and no more strange calls came.

Wen Zheng continued to study mutant insects with Professor Zhou in the laboratory, especially locusts, which Professor Zhou had studied for the longest time and which they knew best. As the earliest origin that can be found at present, mutant locusts are the most likely research objects to find out the mechanism and cause of mutation.

The days buried in the laboratory were boring but also interesting. Before Wen Zheng knew it, the second batch of insect-proof paint began to be supplied everywhere.

The amount of insect-proof paint this time was relatively large, and a very small part of it was taken out to reward those who made contributions. Professor Zhou's laboratory, where Wen Zheng was, had obtained the quota for spraying insect-proof paint because it had previously discovered that the mutation originated from locusts, which could protect a normal room.

The rest of the people who received the reward left this quota for their families, especially those who usually lived in the institute, and basically chose to give it to their parents or children.

Wen Zheng had not yet considered where to use his reward, and after many days, he received a strange call again. It was not the numbers that the original mother had used before, and the location shown on the number was the city where the original father lived.

This time there was no boring small talk, the original father came straight to the point: "I know you have a spraying quota that has not been used yet, how much money do you need to give it up?"

"Oh, I won't give it up."

This is the same for the former couple. The original father knows more clearly, but no matter how capable he is, he can't do anything to the particularly important research institute. As long as Wen Zheng is still in the research institute and is still a member of the research on mutant insects, no one dares to force him.

It happened that Wen Zheng was a little bored recently, and he has not used these quotas for the time being. Listening to the calls from the two people one after another, he regarded it as a change of daily life. Finally, when a colleague in the research institute was caught in the dilemma of parents and children, Wen Zheng, who knew this colleague's character, transferred the quota for free.

After transferring the quota in his hand, the original parents never called again.

In addition to those who have made special contributions, the second batch of insect-proof coatings are mostly supplied to raw material planting bases, orphanages, nursing homes, special families with difficulties, etc. The review is very strict. The coatings are sent to the site for direct spraying after passing the review, leaving no chance for others to tamper with them.

Insect-proof coatings are watched by people all over the country, and the places where the country gives priority to spraying can be recognized by the vast majority of citizens.

While resisting the insect plague, they estimate how long it will take for the next batch of coatings based on the production time of these two batches of insect-proof coatings.

Ordinary people did not have to wait too long. In early summer, the insect-proof paint produced was shipped to all parts of the country.

At the same time, all citizens had to register and log in to the national online platform based on their ID cards and real-name authentication, and fill in their real information, especially the main place of residence.

These information containing the residential addresses of people across the country were gathered together, and the large and small population gathering places were counted, and the order of spraying was divided according to the severity of the insect disaster and the density of the population.

After confirmation, people can see the situation in their area, and then have a chance to change their permanent address. If there are still problems, they can only apply after all the spraying is completed.

People who saw their own area appear at the front of the list were excited to prepare the money they needed to pay. The cost of producing insect-proof paint is not low. The country has consumed a lot of funds for disaster relief in the past two years, so insect-proof paint charges a certain fee.

Ordinary people understand this truth and are willing to pay. Even those who are reluctant to spend money are tortured by these insects and would rather pay money to give themselves a clean room.

Vehicles equipped with insect-proof paint are driving on the road. Almost all cars will give way after seeing them, allowing them to complete the spraying of residential areas across the country as quickly as possible.

The carefully trained staff skillfully operate the specially designed machines to spray quickly and accurately. Every time, they will attract the attention of nearby residents. After the work is completed, they have to face everyone's grateful gifts, and rush away after refusing.

In three months, Yu State once again created a miracle that shocked the world. Almost all the homes of Yu people are protected by insect-proof coatings, at least people can have a peaceful night in midsummer.

During this period, countries that have already obtained the materials purchased by Yu State,

have the same materials, but have not been able to research and produce insect-proof coatings with the same effect.

They know that Yu State must have concealed the key materials, but this time Yu State did not publish their research formula, nor did it take the initiative to send the materials to international inspection in order to gain the trust of the people. The insect-proof coating is tightly controlled in the country. Several attempts to transport it have failed, and spies who have been hiding for many years have been discovered.

Without insect repellent coating, there is no way to infer the formula from the finished product.

After their own experts failed one after another, some countries continued to try and also began to contact Yuguo, but some countries even at this time still wanted Yuguo to provide it for free.

The public opinion means used before appeared again, and this time it increased the international pressure. People all over the world who were suffering from insect plagues began to speak frequently on the Internet, hoping that Yuguo could make the formula of insect repellent coating public for free.

Unfortunately, netizens in Yuguo did not buy it this time.

This trick was still useful when the locust killer was just developed, but with the previous experience, the people of Yuguo now have sufficient confidence in the country and have a strong sense of protection.

Doubts about insect repellent coatings can't cause a big storm at all. Often, soon after they are posted, the account will usher in a large number of reports, and then it will be blocked.

Even the Internet platform acts very quickly.

It was not enough to defend the motherland on the Internet in their own country. When the people of Yu saw the comments on foreign websites hoping that Yu would provide free services, anger burned in their minds, burning away the fatigue in their bodies and the sleepiness in their brains. Internet organizations were temporarily established one after another. After sharing tools with each other, they entered the foreign Internet to defend their own motherland.

"Who gave you the face to say that Yu State is selfish? If your memory is wrong, just search the Internet to see which country developed locust killer and released the formula for free during the global locust plague."

"In the past, we provided it for free because people in our country were kind, but look at what you did. After using our formula to eliminate the locust plague, you suspected that it was our country that caused the insect mutation without any evidence, and you also wantonly attacked our Yu people. Let me tell you, this kind of behavior is called repaying kindness with enmity in our country."

"If we release the formula of insect repellent coating this time, and you suffer a disaster or hardship over there, and you find no evidence to blame Yu State, we can't afford it."

"This is the insect repellent coating developed by scientists in our country specifically for the actual situation of Yu State. It may not work in your country. So, it is better to let scientists in your country study it themselves."

A large number of Yu State netizens have amazing fighting power. After entering foreign websites, they started to debate with scholars. With the locust killer, which was the first incident in which other countries were at fault, Yu State netizens can be said to be invincible when they quarrel.

As the argument went on, normal people in other countries felt that they were unreasonable. After all, these insect-proof coatings can only be used on buildings, and they can only prevent insects from invading houses.

Ordinary people can do this, but it takes a lot of time and energy.

The debate lasted for several days on the Internet in various countries, until a country friendly to Yu State spoke out and formally invited Yu State to trade and cooperate.

Just like the scene after the locust killer was developed, the friendly country exchanged resources for the formula of the insect-proof coating, but this time the resources were more valuable, and they also promised that they would use the formula after detailed research. Once used, no matter what happened afterwards, it would have nothing to do with Yu State.

After the friendly country's plan was posted on major websites, netizens around the world praised it and expected their own countries to either produce results with the same effect as the insect-proof coating, or to find Yu State for cooperation according to the example.

This time, no country had the face to ask Yu State to provide it for free, and after signing the contract, it was even more impossible to put the blame on Yu State. Some countries' plans were about to fall through, and at the same time they did not want to see Yu State so proud, so they gritted their teeth and insisted on not cooperating, constantly urging their own scientific research experts to speed up their research.

There will always be a few talented scholars who have developed their own results under heavy pressure, but it takes a long time from verification to production, and the leaders of their countries can't wait.

Half a month after Yu State started cooperation with many countries, Kalan State announced that it had developed insect-proof materials with better effects.

But at this time, Yu State has already obtained the cooperation it wants, and even if the remaining uncooperative countries turn to Kalan State, it will not care.

The fact that cooperation has not been achieved for a long time means that these countries have no intention to do so. Instead of making international conflicts, the leaders of Yu State are more willing to focus on domestic construction.
