Homo sapiens.

However, America is not a fool. Once Homo sapiens acquires the Ogasawara Islands and South Bird Island, it means that Homo sapiens has a foothold in the central Pacific Ocean and can cut off the connection between Guam and the Ryukyu Islands and North America.

Therefore, the land for compensation was replaced by the Oki Islands on the west coast of the Dongying Islands. This small archipelago isolated in the Whale Sea has a lot of strategic value, but it is also a lot of trouble.

After all, there is no regional branch of Homo sapiens around Whale Sea, and even Lucia is just a superficial friend of Homo sapiens.

Giving this small archipelago to Homo sapiens is actually a last resort.

After all, the other Tsushima Island, Ryukyu Islands, Ogasawara Islands, and South Bird Island are too important.

Of course, since the value of the Oki Islands is not enough to offset 6000 billion gold dollars, Dongying also needs to open the market to Homo sapiens and allow Homo sapiens ships to replenish in Dongying.

As for the "poverty alleviation" of the South Pacific island countries that Homo sapiens entered, America did not see it either.

After all, the Homo sapiens company is now the party that has suffered the "biggest" loss in the fungal crisis. In order to prevent the Homo sapiens company from continuing to go crazy, it can only acquiesce that the Homo sapiens company has entered these areas.

After reaching an agreement, all parties hurried home.

After hearing the results of this meeting, the outside world breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there is no fight, everything is easy to talk about.

Immediately, all parts of the world stepped up the disinfection of planes and ships coming from Japan, while preparing to upgrade the plastics industry.

Especially Homo sapiens.

Immediately, a large-scale exchange of old plastic products for new ones was launched to reduce losses. A large part of those recycled plastic products were sent to methane fermentation plants to produce methane.

Chapter 374 Renewal

Star Island in Johor.

After doing manicures for several guests in the afternoon, Liu Meizhu stretched her waist, then checked the time and found that it was already 04:30.

She and a few little sisters sat on the sofa in the lounge area, chatting while waiting to get off work.

The working hours of Homo Sapiens are 20 days per month, and the working days are only 5-6 hours. The maximum working hours per month is 120 hours, and the special overtime hours should not exceed 20 hours.

And jobs like manicurists are very regular jobs.

While Liu Meizhu and others were chatting, two more customers came, and they didn't refuse service just because they were about to leave work.

Because if the customer's service exceeds the working hours, they will automatically receive special overtime compensation. Usually, their monthly special overtime quota cannot be exhausted.

Liu Meizhu did manicures for the guests at exactly 5:23, just before get off work.

"get off work."

Five employees from the evening shift also arrived one after another.

After leaving the nail salon, Liu Meizhu and two younger sisters who were close to each other went to the supermarket for a stroll.

Since the child is arranged by her in the kindergarten, she does not need to take care of the child at all now. She visits the child three times a week, and the couple spends the rest of the time having fun together.

Liu Meizhu, who was going to buy a few bags of potato chips to go home, came to the shelf of potato chips. She looked at the strange shelf: "The tomato-flavored potato chips of the previous brand are gone?"

After searching carefully, she found that it was not missing, but the packaging had been replaced.

Holding the canned version of potato chips, Liu Meizhu asked the shopping guide not far away: "Excuse me, why are there no more Shan State potato chips in bags?"

The shopping guide smiled and shrugged: "Now there is no plastic packaging, only cans."

Liu Meizhu scanned the shelves and found that there were indeed only soda cans or kraft paper cans (the inner layer is aluminum film) left.

Liu Meizhu didn't make any fuss about this.

Mainly in the supermarkets under Homo sapiens, many products are cans, kraft paper aluminum film cans, glass bottles, tinplate cans, kraft paper aluminum film bags, and plastic bags are rarely used.

She looked at the price, and the 500-gram can of potato chips was still 0.4 yuan.

Moreover, there is a golden number of 0.1 on the tank body. Liu Meizhu, who often buys things at Fengrao House, knows very well that this golden number represents the recycling price of 0.1 yuan.

Most of the packaging containers of many daily necessities and packaged foods produced by Homo sapiens can be recycled and reused.

Liu Meizhu usually sells the accumulated bottles and cans to the recycling station every week, which is a lot of income.

Those recycling stations are not shabby garbage dumps, but are set up in shops in various blocks of the city, with dedicated managers and automatic recycling machines.

Homo sapiens’ profits in the field of prepackaged food are not low, but it benefits from its own strong industrial system and recycling industry.

Similar to liquid foods such as milk and juice, Homo sapiens are packaged in glass bottles instead of Tetra Pak from the Swedish Tetra Pak Group, so there is no need to pay patent fees to the other party.

In addition, glass bottles can be reused, and the cost of Homo sapiens' low-temperature glass technology is still very low. Each glass bottle is recycled once, and the packaging cost will be reduced.

After several years of recycling, many glass bottles have now been reused dozens of times, further reducing packaging costs.

After Liu Meizhu took a few cans of potato chips, she pushed the shopping cart to the meat section.

When she came to the meat section, she found that the packaging here had also been changed, but this change was somewhat unexpected.

Because instead, a large number of transparent plastic boxes are used here, replacing the previous glass boxes and canned packaging, and vacuum-packed plastic bags are also used.

Liu Meizhu was at a loss: "What's going on here?"

The shopping guide in the meat area explained: "Because of the emergence of fungi that can decompose plastics, plastics can now be used on fast-selling fresh ingredients and frozen vacuum-packed ingredients."

"So it is." Liu Meizhu suddenly realized.

Although plastic-decomposing fungi in the tropics can decompose plastic bags such as polyethylene in about 8 months, they have no effect on fresh ingredients with a shelf life of only one or two days, or vacuum-packed ingredients stored in the freezer.

Suddenly Liu Meizhu asked: "Then all plastic products can't be used?"

The shopping guide thought for a while: "That's not true, but the service life of chemical fiber clothes, artificial leather, toothbrushes, etc. will definitely be shortened. The company is already thinking of a way, so don't worry too much."

After listening to the shopping guide, although Liu Meizhu was not too worried, she still ran to the clothing area on the second floor.

Sure enough, all the clothes marked with chemical fibers are sold at a price that is almost tearful, and they can be bought for only one-tenth of the price.

She was not interested in those chemical fiber clothes at this time, and walked directly to the clothing rack marked with natural materials.

There are clothes made of silk, cotton, linen, wool, and blended fabrics.

Although these fabrics are marked as natural materials, it does not mean that they are all really natural. The natural materials stipulated by Homo sapiens can be marked as natural materials only if the materials are consistent.

For example, the silk pajamas in Liu Meizhu's hand cost only 15 yuan for a set of four. If real natural silk is used, the price will be at least 60 yuan.

Obviously this is a silk fabric made of artificial silk.

Liu Meizhu directly took 3 sets of silk pajamas that matched her size, and chose a few sets for her husband and two children.

I also took several sets of worsted clothes made of composite linen. This kind of linen clothes has been processed by modern technology, and the softness is similar to that of cotton cloth, but the elasticity is relatively poor. It is very comfortable to wear in Southeast Asia.

Then she bought some pig hair toothbrushes, worsted towels, and small mirrors with wooden frames.

The pig hair of the pig hair toothbrush is actually artificial pig hair. Most of the animal hair of Homo Sapiens is imitated through technology.

As for other things, Liu Meizhu plans to go home and discuss with her husband, then make a list and replace them with natural materials.

At the entrance of the supermarket, she put a lot of things in a special shipping box, then directly inserted her employee card, and clicked to confirm.

The express box was sent to the third floor of the supermarket through the conveyor belt.

Walking out of the street, you can see a long and narrow suspended track above the street. This kind of suspended track is not for passengers, but is specially used for transporting goods.

The things that Liu Meizhu bought at Fengrao House just now were sent into the cargo compartment.

When Liu Meizhu took the bus back downstairs to her residence, a message popped up on her mobile phone after a while, indicating that the goods had arrived at the temporary storage room on the third floor.

When she came to the temporary storage room on the third floor, she inserted the employee card into the pick-up machine, and one of the doors of the storage cabinet popped open automatically, and inside was the things she had just bought at the Harvest House.

I directly took a trolley, put the special box on the trolley, and then took the elevator home. As long as the special box is placed in the recycling room of the temporary storage room on time, someone from the freight company will come to collect it.

"Honey, I'm back."

Chen Yanxiu, who was taking a bath, asked curiously, "Did you work overtime again today?"

While stuffing the ingredients into the large refrigerator, Liu Meizhu replied casually: "No, I just went shopping in the supermarket. Today the supermarket replaced a lot of new packaging. I heard that it is the influence of the Tokyo fungus."

"Tokyo fungus? The factory is also replacing some of the plastic parts recently. This matter has a big impact."

Chen Yanxiu picked up a long-handled electric scrub brush and scrubbed his back.

Liu Meizhu, who was in the kitchen, was just about to fry beef patties when the range hood automatically reminded: [Please wear a lampblack helmet]

"It's really troublesome..." Liu Meizhu took out an anti-oil fume helmet that was sent by the property management company a few days ago from the cabinet below.

Although she complained, Liu Meizhu still wore it because she was afraid of death. According to the data released by the Ministry of Health, cooking fume is an important cause of lung cancer in women.

This anti-oil fume helmet is not difficult to wear. The design is similar to that of an astronaut. It is almost completely transparent spherical. There are special brackets fixed on the shoulders and back, and the head does not need to bear weight.

And Liu Meizhu found that wearing a helmet can protect against splashing hot oil during use, which is very useful when frying things and cutting onions.

Chen Yanxiu, who came out of the shower, looked at his wife who looked like an astronaut, and said with a smile:

"I heard that for a while, the property will renovate families with open kitchens in batches, and our kitchen should also do the same."

"how much is it?"

"No money, the company paid for us."

Hearing that no money is needed, Liu Meizhu didn't have any objections.

After all, after reading the public report of the medical business department, many families feel anxious about the open kitchen, especially families with children, either send their children to kindergarten temporarily, or simply let their children go to the balcony outside while cooking Play.

Liu Meizhu, who was frying beef patties, held a wooden spatula: "Husband, the things in the house are made of plastic, do you want to replace them in the future?"

"It must be changed. After all, the fungus has a very strong ability to spread, and Southeast Asia is the hardest hit area. It will be replaced sooner or later."

Liu Meizhu flipped the beef patties over: "Then look at those that need to be replaced. I just went to the supermarket to buy clothes made of natural materials, a toothbrush, and a small mirror."

Chen Yanxiu lay on the sofa, turned on his mobile phone, logged on to the announcement page of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and found a guide for replacing household plastic products.

According to the list in the replacement guide, the first thing to replace is mainly the electrical system of the home. There is no need to replace it yourself, and Nanyang Power Grid will arrange personnel to come and replace it.

Other electrical appliances are also recalled in batches by various manufacturers and gradually replaced with new products.

After watching for a long time, Chen Yanxiu found that he didn't need to worry too much at all. The company had already arranged everything, and he could just listen to the company's arrangements when the time came.

He continued to lie down and watch TV without any anxiety.

Ordinary people in other areas have to face the problem of aging plastic products in their families alone, which will increase their living burden.

It is estimated that the number of ordinary people who will come to work for Homo Sapiens will further increase in the future.

Chapter 375 The Gradually Tightening Rope

Tianzhu.

Delhi.

Inside the magnificent office.

Bodhidharma looked at the information in his hand with a headache. This is the cooperation agreement between Dongying, Homo Sapiens and America just now (the 6000 billion compensation was not clearly stated).

The reason why he has such a headache is because this fungal crisis is also very serious for Tianzhu.

Compared with other developed regions and homo sapiens companies, which can take advantage of the fungal crisis to carry out industrial upgrading, Tianzhu obviously does not have that condition.

Although Tianzhu has not discovered the Tokyo fungus yet, Bodhidharma knows that with the management level of the guys below, it is estimated that it has already spread, but it has not been reported.

Heit Singer, who has just been head of the intelligence department, is full of worry on his face:

"If according to the preliminary research conclusions published by Homo sapiens, the reproduction speed of the Tokyo fungus is the fastest in the tropics, then our loss will be very serious."

"It is necessary to comprehensively upgrade and transform the industry and power system..." Bodhidharma felt suffocated, because the money was too much.

Now the loan owed by Tianzhu to Homo sapiens company has climbed to 683 billion gold dollars.

If it was America's loan, Bodhidharma dared to procrastinate, or find an excuse to let America exempt part of it.

But he dared not repay Homo sapiens' loan.

He asked wearily: "Hait, what is the recent activity of Homo sapiens in our territory?"

"They are developing very rapidly in our territory. At present, more than 86% of the farms have reached cooperation with them. In addition, among the urban industrial and commercial owners, there are also a large number of Homo sapiens company partners. If this continues..."

Of course Bodhidharma knew that going on like this would take jujube pills.

He called and called the person in charge of the power department.

After a while, a Mediterranean white man appeared in the office.

"Ville, you should already know about the Tokyo fungus, tell me how to solve it?"

At this time, Weir was full of helplessness: "If the cables and some equipment are to be completely replaced, it is estimated that it will cost 5000 billion U.S. dollars."

Hearing this number, Bodhidharma almost suffered a cardiac arrest. He quickly calmed down and said, "Huh... is there any other way?"
