Chapter 567 Miraculous Rhodes Island(2/5)
I discovered a strange ice cellar underground on this garbage island. Goblins will be frozen into ice sculptures if they enter it for too long.
If you take the ice sculpture out and bask in the sun, it will recover.
When we first arrived at the garbage island, we were not yet familiar with how to deal with garbage.
Some compatriots have been poisoned, and some have their lifespans greatly shortened.
In order to keep them alive, I could only take them to an ice cellar and freeze them.
I'm obviously their leader, but they don't let me handle the garbage.
They said that I am the smartest among all fairies and the most promising to advance.
Only by advancing can you live longer, remember them all, wait for Captain Petra to come back, and resurrect them in Utopia.
They used their lives to help me eliminate all dangers, and also allowed me to summarize a set of methods for dealing with garbage.
The goblins on Rhodes Island can survive to this day only because of their experience in relaying life."
This heavy topic made Qi Ge and Petra silent.
Rhodes woke up suddenly, grabbed Petra's sleeve excitedly, and said with great excitement:
"Captain! Now that you are back to see us, have you found your ideal land?"
Rhodes' fiery gaze made Petra not know how to speak.
Guilt, unwillingness, mixed emotions, all kinds of emotions accumulated in Petra's heart, like weighing down a mountain.
"I……"
"He found it."
Qige rubbed Petra's hair and said softly:
"I am the ideal land for you fairies."
At this moment, the Seven Pigeons seemed to be possessed by a halo, and the historical echoes of Cong Kelin, Pineapple Candy, and Fur seemed to overlap on the Seven Pigeons.
Qige said seriously:
"Utopia exists in the consciousness of every fairy, and we have found the way to Utopia.
As long as the fairies unite as one, their will will become a city.
Utopia will descend from the endless void and become the destination of all the souls of the departed heroes.
Those companions who died on the way to escape, including the Great Prophet, Hercules and the Great Shepherd, will be resurrected."
"Lord!" Petra stared at the seven pigeons, stars twinkling in her eyes.
Qi Lu and Qi Yan also stared at Qi Ge with admiring eyes.
Only Rhodes was a little downcast.
"Do you want to keep looking?
We've been looking for it for so long.
More than fifty years. Level 1 goblins only have a lifespan of 2 to 4 years. If it’s less, fifty years is 25 generations of goblins!”
"Rhode..." Petra held Rhode's hand tightly, her voice a little hoarse.
Just as Petra was thinking about how to comfort Rhodes, Rhodes suddenly raised his head, looked at Petra seriously and said:
"But it doesn't matter!
Captain, I believe you!
I know that your determination to find your ideal land is stronger than any inheritance.
If it doesn't work in fifty years, then one hundred years, and if it doesn't work two hundred or three hundred.
As long as our faith can be passed down, we will eventually find our ideal land."
Qi Ge felt that Rhodes' change in attitude was a bit strange.
But when Qi Ge saw Rhode holding Petra's hands tightly, he realized that one part of Rhode's words was sincere, and the second part was because he didn't want to put too much pressure on Petra.
Hey... fairies are really a very kind race.
Qi Ge immediately changed the topic.
"Rod, can you take me to that strange ice cellar?"
Rhodes hesitated: "Yes, yes, but the ice cellar can only be opened at night.
There are not only the original 199 goblins frozen in it, but also the goblins born on Rhode Island, as well as the goblins transferred from the Falling Moon Territory, all in the ice cellar."
"Does that mean we have to wait until night?" Qi Gege thought for a while, then asked:
"Rhode, can you show us around Rhode Island?
I am very interested in how you, a clan of fairies, have lived on this island for more than 40 years."
"Of course!" Rhodes immediately became happy when he mentioned this.
"Although this island is not as good as Utopia, it is still very suitable for us fairy clan!
Not only do we have enough food and clothing, but there are no dangerous mages to persecute us.
With the technology accumulated over the past few decades, the problems that once caused us great headaches no longer exist.
Master Qige, Captain Petra, Qilu Qiyan, follow me, I will tell you from the beginning."
Rhodes led Seven Pigeons and the others while walking and introduced:
"I can guarantee that our Rhodes Island is the largest garbage disposal center in the entire Yasha world. There is absolutely no other place that can turn all the garbage into treasures like we do here."
"The first is the source of garbage. Falling Moon Territory, together with the entire southern part of Brakada, has a total of 6 main cities, with a population of more than 220 million people living there.
10,000 tons of garbage are produced every day, which is 30,000 tons in three days.
Of these 30,000 tons of garbage, excluding those that are very easy to recycle, the remaining 2/3 will be sent to us for manual processing by our goblin clan."
30,000 tons. No wonder a giant garbage ship with a length of more than 200 meters is needed to transport it. No wonder there is such a horrible smell.
Hearing this, Qige couldn't help but ask:
"Rod, this data sounds very detailed, where did you collect it from?"
"Abandoned magic newspaper, with my calculations added to it."
Rhodes pointed to his head and said: "Although I don't have the leadership and command skills of Captain Petra, I am confident in my mind."
Rhodes continued: "Actually, our goblins in Rhode Island have been secretly divided into two parts.
Part of it is in the six southern cities, and the other part is in our Rhode Island.
Goblins distributed in six cities in the south collect garbage from the streets of various cities every day, take it home, and use the most primitive manual sorting to perform the first step of basic processing.
The purpose of this is to mix together some resource waste and difficult-to-dispose waste that are easy to recycle and are of great use to Rhode Island.
While those cities were still sleeping, our fairies began their busy work.
They shuttled through the streets and alleys of various cities, loading all the garbage into their trucks and taking it back for processing.
About 10,000 tons of garbage every day are quietly transported to the garbage mountains located on the outskirts of each city, waiting for another batch of trucks hired by each city to be transported to the garbage port.
Over the past few decades, hundreds of thousands of goblins in six cities have developed their inertia, making the mages and humans in nearby cities accustomed to throwing their garbage at the doorstep of their homes.
This habit allows us to recycle more and more garbage.
After the garbage is collected, it will be screened in the first wave by some residents near the garbage port.
They will recycle some garbage that can be easily processed into resources, and then exchange them for gold coins in the market.
Their processing methods are very rough and wasteful.
The purpose of our goblin pre-processing garbage is to prevent too much resource-based garbage from being meaninglessly consumed.
After that, the garbage piled up in the garbage port will be loaded on the garbage ship of Falling Moon and dumped on our Rhode Island."
When he said this, Qi Ge had already followed Rhodes to the garbage dumping point.
The mountains of garbage that were originally piled up have been dismembered by countless goblins and hauled away in a simple truck converted from waste.
Rhodes went on to introduce:
"The first step is when the goblins return to their residence with the collected garbage, he and other goblins start sorting the garbage.
Garbage sorting is a time-consuming job, and the goblin responsible for this step spends 10 to 12 hours every day sorting garbage.
And this step is also the most dangerous, because the garbage thrown out by some mage towers can cause illness or disability just by breathing it.
Of the original 200 goblins, more than twenty lost their ability to work because of this.
Oh, by the way, we hadn't come to Rhode Island yet.
Fortunately, we arrived in Rhode Island three months after we started working at the garbage dump and discovered the ice cellar, otherwise they would have died long ago.
Shortly after arriving in Rhode Island, I worked hard to develop a mask that could block various poisonous gases.
Later, a glove that could protect against venom was developed.
