The next day, the day before the Champions League final, the Toutiao app pushed an article from the depths of the soul around the world.

At the beginning of the article, the video and satellite pictures of the crude oil explosion were quoted. Obviously, from the air, BP Petroleum claimed that 5,000 barrels of oil were leaking from the subsea oil wells at that time, and this figure was undoubtedly too underestimated.

In fact, in the three and a half weeks since the accident, the amount of oil sprayed under the sea was 5 times or even 10 times the above estimate. Although the measures taken to plug the leakage quickly contained the expansion of the disaster, the damage was actually caused. .

However, BP Petroleum pretended to turn a blind eye and just tried its best to falsify the figures to avoid greater responsibility.

What follows is an interview with an oceanographer who, according to the scientist, collected some samples from the surface at the time showing that the spilled crude oil changed from a liquid to an emulsified "mousse" to a viscous mass of tar piece.

While these wind-eroded clumps of tar are relatively innocuous, they are still viscous when they spread to beaches, causing great impact and suffering to marine flora and fauna.

Although the use of oil-displacing agents on the sea surface can accelerate the physical and biological breakdown of spilled crude oil, the oil-displacing agents did not have a significant effect.

What worries marine biologists is that the toxicity of oil displacement agents may have a direct impact on marine life, while the indirect impact will cause more crude oil to remain in the depths of the ocean far from the sea surface, causing long-term damage to the deep-sea marine ecological environment. Influence.

The article also inserts a video: Two underwater robots use optical sensors to map the spread of crude oil on the seabed, including the editing process of collecting water samples for detailed analysis, proving that the content of the article is well documented.

Immediately afterwards, pictures including some "sticky tar clumps" appeared on the Florida beach, proving that what the experts said was true and that it had indeed affected people's lives.

Of course, the more serious ones are aimed at sea creatures.

There are two ecological environments in the deep seabed of Mexico: clams, mussels, and symbiotic bacteria that use sulfide and methane as energy in areas where hydrocarbons infiltrate marine sediments, and long-lived, living Centuries-long polychaete tube worms;

Coral polyps living in another marine ecological environment live by catching prey that swims nearby or by sinking debris on the sea surface.

At the bottom of these marine food chains,

They contribute most of the power to the entire food chain, and if they are affected, there will be big problems in the entire marine life chain.

Next-level marine mammals, especially bottlenose dolphins that live in the Gulf of Mexico, endangered sperm whales, and 5 endangered species of sea turtles.

All of them died in varying degrees, as evidenced by photos.

In addition, fishing grounds within an area of ​​18,000 square kilometers in the Gulf region, which provides food for humans, were also closed after the oil spill to protect people from eating shellfish contaminated by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are found in oil. a carcinogenic ingredient.

The blow to the fishing industry is not only economical. Many people who depend on it will lose their source of income. They will not be able to eat or sell. There is not much they can do.

In the article, several fishermen who were hit were specifically listed. They used to live a happy life with no shortage of food and clothing, but after the oil spill, they lost their source of income and could only go out to work. But obviously, in They have lived by the sea all their lives, lacking the necessary means of earning a living on land, and their life is going from bad to worse! small bookstore

But the 'culprits' of the whole incident did not pay any attention to this, not even a single apology. They only cared about recovering their own losses and disregarded the safety of others. This is a heinous behavior.

The article used very strong words to attack BP Petroleum's inaction, and bluntly stated that they should be responsible for it!

Yang Cheng is also considered to be an arrogant British, and will not do too much about it. They are unwilling to take this "unnecessary" responsibility on themselves. If they change to a softer opponent, they only need to apologize honestly , and took out a small amount of money to compensate the victim, Yang Cheng's trick was self-defeating.

But from the point of view of the British, this hole must never be opened. Once it is opened, more "victims" will come forward to claim compensation from them. One or two will be enough. What if there are hundreds or thousands? ? If a family pays 10,000 US dollars, BP will suffer a lot of losses, so they can only refuse to admit it, and at most verbally apologize.

However, Yang Cheng has successfully aroused the anger of the people. How can the anger of the people be extinguished by a mere sorry?

Without Yang Cheng's control, BP can still escape by diverting conflicts and diverting attention, such as breaking out shocking gossip about a celebrity. . .

It's a pity that this trick doesn't work well at the source. Since Yang Cheng made a move, it must be like the wave behind pushes the wave ahead, and one wave is stronger than the other. Want to divert attention? nonexistent.

Sure enough, as soon as this article came out, BP's stock price fell in response. It must be the result of human manipulation, but it also indirectly proves the anger of the masses.

A few hours after the article was published, Yang Cheng received a call from Roman, and he could tell how happy he was smiling through the phone, "Man, you did a good job, this bunch of rubbish, you have to teach them a lesson, let them I know we are not easy to mess with~"

Yang Cheng shrugged, "This is just the beginning, just wait and see. I asked someone to write a hundred and eighty articles, and they will be published one after another in the next few days. I will wait to see when BP will launch a press conference."

"I guess they won't recognize it. In this case, there is no need for a press conference. Otherwise, when someone asks a question, how will they answer it? Will it show their toughness? It will undoubtedly make the crowd even more annoyed. I have to say, you The trick is so beautiful, it directly hits BP's weakness, and you have dug out all the cover-ups they have done in the past few years." Roman did not hesitate to praise.

Yang Cheng smiled, "Okay, I'm going to make a move here, you have to pay attention to safety, and be careful of BP's tricks."

"He dares. If they dare to break through the bottom line, then don't blame us for retaliating with harsher means." Roman said viciously. In his opinion, BP would not do such an unwise thing.

But then again, it would be silly to shoot at the three of them out of nowhere, how stupid would you want to be?

Afterwards, Conrad also called and praised Yang Cheng fiercely. Yang Cheng's counterattack was quick and powerful, which really suited his appetite. If Yang Cheng was by his side, he would wish to kiss him.

"Dude, do it with confidence, Roman and I are your solid backing." Conrad assured.

Yang Cheng hummed, "Understood, are you flying to Wales tomorrow?"

"Yes, I will definitely arrive before the game starts."
