Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 517 - 516 Garbage Disposal

"Teacher Ying Hui, take a look, this is the waste management data for Donghua City over the past few years."

"Our city is now surrounded by garbage pollution!"

"Five years ago, the wilderness that was barely tolerable is now filled with dust and various toxic substances; the environment around Donghua City is all in a state of emergency."

"This is because Donghua City's current waste disposal capacity has reached its limit, and the daily amount of waste that needs to be processed far exceeds this limit, so it can only be temporarily stored."

"With pollution spirits outside the city, we really have no way to dump the trash too far away, forcing us to deal with it nearby."

"And dealing with it nearby means we have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources. Once our capacity to deal with it can't keep up, waste piles up, harmful substances leak and spread, and the surrounding environment will get worse and worse.

Moreover, over the years, the labor we spend on waste management has been increasing, which is a huge burden for the whole Donghua City."

"Then there's the use and mining of resources.

Now, the locations for mining various materials are getting farther and farther away, and as the distortions by Heavenly Dao intensify, they are also becoming more dangerous. If this continues, we may have to mine resources hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, and the amount of materials we get each year will continue to decrease."

"I've looked at the data from the past few years, and the recycling of various metals, wood, plastic, water... has become an important supplement after Donghua City's material shortage. We need to once again improve the waste recycling rate."

"Waste sorting, hazardous waste treatment, recycling - these things can't be delayed any longer!!"

Ying Hui looked at the excited report in front of Zhou Bai and thought it made a lot of sense.

To combat the pollution spirits and the invasion of Heavenly Demons, humanity concentrated most of its population within the five main cities.

This caused humanity's control over the wilderness to drop to its lowest point, making material mining and utilization very insufficient. It was a major reason for the resource shortage, and so the recycling of waste became more and more important.

At the same time, because of the high concentration of people and the dangers of the wilderness, most of the garbage from the 300 million population of the entire city was processed and incinerated locally.

Moreover, inside Donghua City, there were various dangerous items that needed to be handled, such as the remnants of extraordinary foods, human remains, broken Array materials, all sorts of heaven and earth treasures soaked over time in spirit machine energy... Burning these often created various toxic substances, and leaving them unattended would severely damage the environment around Donghua City, affecting living conditions.

How to better handle these wastes was a huge burden for Donghua City.

However, although Ying Hui thought Zhou Bai's points were valid, he still shook his head: "Talking to me about this stuff won't solve anything, I don't have control over these things."

Zhou Bai: "...Then who does?"

Ying Hui said, "Zhou Bai, your proposal is good, but the most important thing for you now is to practice well and get a good result on the Daluo Heaven debate. Don't worry about the other stuff, we'll handle it."

"Moreover, waste sorting has been promoted by the authorities in the past few years, so you can rest assured."

Zhou Bai frowned; he didn't plan to let others take over the big business of waste management. He intended to handle it himself.

And with Donghua City already under resource and population pressures, Zhou Bai planned to actively take on the responsibility of disposing of hazardous and useless waste.

So he heard Zhou Bai say, "Donghua City currently spends a lot of manpower and material resources every day to process those wastes.

But if it were up to me to do the final disposal, and others were responsible for sorting, then the efficiency would greatly increase, environmental damage would be minimized, and the level of recycling would improve, which could alleviate some of the resource shortage issues for Donghua City."

Ying Hui asked dubiously, "How would you process it? Zhou Bai, this isn't a trivial matter. Just burning alone produces a lot of toxic substances every day that can envelop all of Donghua City, and if they combine with pollution spirits, it can cause all sorts of major problems."

Zhou Bai confidently replied, "I have a way, which is to throw the trash into the void."

Ying Hui asked, "Into the void?"

"That's right," Zhou Bai said, revealing the prepared rhetoric: "Since I've mastered the Time Rebirth Technique, not only can I envelop my own body into the void, but I can also send other things into the void as well." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

In fact, Zhou Bai naturally couldn't do this yet. Sending the physical body information into the void with the Time Rebirth Technique required a special method. To send other things into the void, Zhou Bai's realm and proficiency were still inadequate, and his understanding of the void was far from sufficient.

However, this was just a ruse Zhou Bai used to sell the idea of garbage disposal, as long as Ying Hui believed it.

Ying Hui asked, "Really?"

Zhou Bai immediately produced a brick he had prepared in advance and lazily sold the illusion.

Watching Ying Hui's surprised gaze, Zhou Bai asked, "Alright?"

Ying Hui was initially surprised, then pleased, but quickly became worried.

It would indeed be a good thing if Donghua City could handle waste better, a great achievement.

However, Zhou Bai had more important responsibilities, especially since the Daluo Heaven debate was of great significance, Ying Hui was worried that Zhou Bai would be distracted.

And the Time Rebirth Technique, being part of the Twilight Taoist Skill, carried the risk of side effects if used too often.

Zhou Bai understood Ying Hui's concerns and said, "Don't worry, teacher. This won't delay my practice; it actually helps me practice."

"Remember when I used to communicate with the 'Shit Realm'?"

"After practicing the Primitive Dao Treasury, the more I communicate with the void, the more I can improve my Taoist skills."

After much persuasion from Zhou Bai, Ying Hui finally reluctantly agreed, but still made it clear that if the garbage processing affected his practice negatively, Zhou Bai would have to stop immediately and not continue.

Zhou Bai readily agreed and then heard Ying Hui continue, "Alright, I will discuss this matter with the committee. Don't worry. By the way, how are you doing right now? Didn't you already repair the Primitive Dao Treasury 04? When will you start practicing the divine diagram for the fourth realm?"

Since the Primitive Dao Treasury 05 was secretly practiced by Zhou Bai, everyone was still unaware that Zhou Bai had stepped into the fifth realm.

In Ying Hui's eyes, Zhou Bai had just completed the Primitive Dao Treasury 04 in West Mountain City and had entered the fourth realm but had not yet selected a divine diagram for the fourth realm.

Zhou Bai nodded, "I was just about to tell you, I've looked through the divine diagram list you gave me last time, and I've chosen the Ice Soul Freeze Light Sword."

Zhou Bai was still publicly claiming to be following the Sword Diagram route, and since winning the four-school contest, all of his divine diagram cultivation materials had been provided by the Jijian Pavilion of West Mountain City.

This fourth-realm Ice Soul Freeze Light Sword was also chosen by Christina, which would work well alongside her Ice Soul Freeze Light.
