Chapter 174 Black Scum
In reality, Long Xiaoxiao was just thinking that these things were taking up space anyway, so she might as well give them to Rong Ming and the others to see if they could be of any use, just in case.
Upon hearing that it was a gift from the Azure Dragon God, Qiao Linfeng and the others became even more cautious, storing it in the research institute and focusing on their research project on it.
The outside world was unaware of the specifics of these events and was still immersed in the joy of the crisis being averted. Celebrations were taking place everywhere, and many places even celebrated the "Green Dragon Festival" ahead of schedule. The streets and alleys were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and posters featuring the image of a small dragon were everywhere.
The effect was remarkable. Not only did Long Xiaoxiao's energy increase, but his faith value also rose rapidly, much faster than before.
While celebrations were taking place outside, the same was true within China. However, while everyone was busy celebrating, the research institute was conducting research on the black residue.
Within a few days, they obtained the results.
"These substances contain almost ten thousand times more energy than the same mass of coal!!" the professor exclaimed in shock.
This discovery is of great significance for solving their energy problem, and the research team did not delay, but promptly reported it to the central government.
When the Central Committee heard the news, they quickly relayed it to Rong Ming, instructing him to inform Long Xiaoxiao of all the research findings.
These black residues were given to them by Long Xiaoxiao. If they wanted more, they would have to get them from Long Xiaoxiao.
If Long Xiaoxiao doesn't give them any more ideas, these things won't be of much value.
Upon receiving the message, Rong Ming went straight to Long Xiaoxiao without delay and recounted the whole story in detail, leaving Long Xiaoxiao stunned.
"Hmm..." After Rong Ming finished speaking, Long Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand what he meant. She sorted it out herself, "This black scum is very powerful and useful, right?"
Rong Ming was speechless. In fact, whether it was useful or not depended on the quantity. However, since Long Xiaoxiao asked this question, Rong Ming still answered, "Yes, it's very useful."
Hearing this, Long Xiaoxiao was delighted. She flicked the tip of her tail and then had the system take out all the junk in the space and place it in front of Rong Ming.
As soon as Rong Ming looked down, he saw so much black residue at his feet. He quickly took action, turned around and went to the door to call the guard to help him carry the things out. Afterwards, he didn't forget to come back and greet Long Xiaoxiao.
"Thank you for your grace, Lord Azure Dragon!" Rongming's tone was sincere and earnest.
Long Xiaoxiao gave them all the black slag hidden in her space, but the amount was not much. Fortunately, the black slag was dense, and even a small amount weighed several hundred kilograms, so it was very durable.
Rongming had initially thought that these things might solve the energy crisis, but seeing that the quantity wasn't much, he knew it was wishful thinking on their part.
Even so, the people of China were still very grateful for Long Xiaoxiao's actions. In their eyes, anything given to them by the Azure Dragon God was never bad.
After Rong Ming left, Long Xiaoxiao thought back to what Rong Ming had just said and asked the system curiously, "These things are amazing! They can eat poop and other people's energy. Now that they're dead, they can be burned as wood."
The system didn't seem too moved. It explained, "This energy must be what they absorbed before."
That makes sense.
Long Xiaoxiao nodded, somewhat bewildered, and didn't pursue the matter further.
Considering that these black slags were given by the Azure Dragon God, China announced this to the world after determining their purpose, which can be seen as a way of indirectly demonstrating its close relationship with the Azure Dragon God.
Other countries saw it all clearly, but they had nothing to say. After all, they were just so lucky to have the Azure Dragon God stay with them.
Despite trying to convince themselves like this, people all over the world were still somewhat indignant, thinking that if the Azure Dragon God appeared in their country, he would definitely stay there.
Aside from envy and jealousy, people also have many questions and curiosities about these scumbags.
"What are these things?"
Does it exist on this earth?
"I don't know, it doesn't seem like it."
"Indeed, it must be the latest substance discovered from the Azure Dragon God."
"Speaking of the Azure Dragon God helping us every day, are there really no rules or restrictions governing him?"
"Probably not."
"Isn't it said that even gods can't arbitrarily interfere in the human world when they descend to earth? How come the Azure Dragon God seems to do whatever he wants?"
"I'm a little worried. Could there really be some Jade Emperor? Will he punish the Azure Dragon God?"
"Come on, I only recognize the Azure Dragon God as a god, everything else is fake!"
"..."
The public's veneration of the Azure Dragon God reached a new and astonishing level.
Inside the research institute, looking at the pile of black slag on the table in front of them, everyone in the meeting room was speculating about how to deal with it.
The quantity is not large, so it's not realistic to use it to alleviate the energy crisis. However, sealing them all up in a museum for preservation and display would be a waste of their potential and would not fulfill their value.
After much deliberation, the leader finally decided to keep one-third as a memento and store the rest for future use.
What if we ever actually need these black slags someday?
Everyone was thinking about it.
To show Long Xiaoxiao their unwavering loyalty, Rongming recounted everything that had happened in the past few days to Long Xiaoxiao during the next feeding. Long Xiaoxiao listened while eating meat, but lazily paid no attention.
After the meal, Rongming and the others served the ripe Flame Fruit, which Long Xiaoxiao ate with relish, feeling more and more hopeful about life.
However, thinking that there hadn't been so many Flame Fruits a few days ago, Long Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little strange and looked up at Rong Ming, asking, "Why are there so many Flame Fruits lately?"
Rong Ming explained, "Our second batch of Flame Fruit trees has already been harvested, and the yield is very high. In addition, we have planted a lot of fruit trees before, so we currently have a large reserve of Flame Fruit."
Long Xiaoxiao nodded in sudden realization.
There will be lots of Flame Fruits to eat from now on!
Just thinking about this made Long Xiaoxiao laugh.
The system was overthinking things. Since the production of these Flame Fruits is so high, are they already ready for sale?
He remembered seeing information about Flame Fruit in the materials before. In short, it was delicious and nutritious. If it were to be promoted for cultivation and sold, it would definitely be able to harvest another batch of faith points.
Moreover, it might even earn merit points by improving the public's physical fitness.
