#226 - Chapter 226 Rat breeding is recognized - I have a space station

"That's right!" Yan Zhengping affirmed.

"Do you think I'm so easily fooled? Although I slept for a while, I still know that crystal cores grow from the heads of zombies," Bai Liji said, disbelieving.

"If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see," Yan Zhengping said.

The two left the warehouse and randomly arrived at a prefabricated house.

Soldiers patrolled inside 24 hours a day.

"You guys go out first," Commander Yan ordered.

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers saluted and then retreated.

As soon as Bai Liji entered the prefabricated house, he was assaulted by the foul smell inside.

Focusing his eyes, he saw stacks upon stacks of cages inside.

And in the cages, were all rats.

Each cage was 30 centimeters high, divided into upper and lower layers.

To save space, several cages were grouped together and stacked on top of each other.

Because there were so many rats, the prefabricated house was filled with continuous "squeak, squeak" sounds.

"Old Yan, are you raising rats in the military region?" Bai Liji asked in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that the Southwest Military Region had become like this, it completely refreshed his understanding.

"Extraordinary measures are needed in extraordinary times," Yan Zhengping still smiled faintly, without any intention of repentance.

"I really want to dismiss you from your position right now!" Bai Liji looked at him as if he were a stranger.

"Then it's settled, don't come crying and asking me for the method of raising rats," Yan Zhengping pretended to threaten.

"I'm asking you for the method? You're obsessed with raising rats, aren't you!" Bai Liji was already a little unhappy.

"What if I told you that those crystal cores you just saw all came from these rats?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"Rats…" Bai Liji was just about to continue his rant, but suddenly stopped.

After a 3-second pause, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Great! This method is great! What a brilliant idea!" Bai Liji's face turned from cloudy to sunny, the kind of bright sunny day.

Of course, it was good, there was no need to send people out to hunt zombies, no need to waste a single bullet, no need to consume a drop of gasoline.

Moreover, the zombies outside were being killed less and less, but the rats could be raised more and more.

Furthermore, hunting zombies required well-trained soldiers, but raising rats could be done even by an old man.

With this method, wouldn't there be as many crystal cores as one could want?

"Eh? That's not right!" Bai Liji suddenly thought of the problem here.

"You're raising so many rats, it requires a lot of food! Where does this food come from?" Bai Liji asked.

"The food problem is easy to solve. We have negotiated with Huatong Business Association, and all the scraps left over from their food factory's processing are sold to our Southwest Military Region at a low price," Yan Zhengping said.

Yan Zhengping specifically said "our Southwest Military Region" to tell him not to have any crooked ideas. These scraps all belong to our Southwest Military Region.

"Waste utilization, a good method!" Bai Liji's eyes regained their brilliance.

"Then, if these rats want to produce crystal cores, they need to be zombified, right? And they have to be slaughtered, right? How are these problems solved?" Bai Liji continued to ask questions.

"Zombification is simple. We have special isolation cages, and there will be a few zombified zombie rats in the cages. As long as you put the new rats in, they will naturally zombify. As for slaughtering, we don't need to worry about it. Huatong Business Association has built slaughterhouses in the military region. As long as the zombified rats are sent to the slaughterhouse, they will all be turned into crystal cores in 10 minutes. Of course, a few zombie rats will be left in the cages as seed rats for the next batch of rat zombification," Yan Zhengping explained.

"In that case, wouldn't a few people be able to manage such a large room?" Bai Liji asked.

"More than that. Our soldiers work in 3 shifts! Five people per shift, each breeding room requires 15 people," Yan Zhengping said.

His arrangement was actually loose and disorganized, and the workload didn't require 15 people at all. It's just that there were plenty of people in the military region. What's the harm in arranging a few more people? Anyway, it's better to have everyone do the work easily.

Bai Liji expressed his contempt for his show-off behavior.

15 people are nothing in terms of cost! Not to mention 15 people, 150 people are nothing.

"Old Yan, let's go, back to the office," Bai Liji turned and went out.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to take another look?" Yan Zhengping said meaningfully.

"No more looking, let's go, go sit in your office," Bai Liji said impatiently, eager to go to the office.

Yan Zhengping smiled and shook his head, knowing that he was tempted.

In the office.

"Old Yan, first show me the combat suit you just mentioned," Bai Liji said.

He wanted to see how much Yan Zhengping was exaggerating.

Yan Zhengping called a soldier to demonstrate on the spot.

Bai Liji praised repeatedly, he didn't expect that such awesome things had been created in just a few months.

Since the combat suit had been verified, he believed that other aspects were also true.
