Chapter 859 Selfishness
Penang did not hide the matter of waste discharge into the sea. It issued a notice openly and announced that it would officially discharge on xx day.
This directly caused a thousand waves. The whole Tiandu Star was boiling.
Whether it was the upper echelons of other forces or the ordinary people, they all expressed their opposition.
"But they just condemned, condemned, ha..." Xiong Yiwo sneered, "They didn't do anything really useful. It's as if these people only have their mouths to move, and the rest are castrated."
When the people of Penang decided on this plan, they did not hold a glimmer of hope. Maybe in the face of a common threat, those forces that had nothing to do with them would have to take action?
Who knew that the sound was loud, but the raindrops were small. In addition to the overwhelming abuse and condemnation, there was no real effective solution, and there was not even a hint of help.
Penang waited and waited until the public opinion gradually died down and new topics grabbed people's attention again, and they finally made up their minds.
Why should Penang bear the pain of technological development alone? Even if you feel threatened, you are completely indifferent? Isn't it because the pain doesn't fall on you, so it doesn't matter?
In this case, let's do it together...
Xiong Yiwo was obviously emotional when he talked about this, and he even shouted several sentences.
"You deserve to die!" The leader of Huayi Base cursed, "Tiandu Star was ruined by selfish people like you! Crazy!"
Lu Qingyang hurriedly explained to Cen Fangyuan: "It's not that we don't want to intervene, it's really... we don't have any way! Who else on Tiandu Star can handle the scientific research problems that Penang can't solve? We can only send letters to stop their discharge, but they just don't listen. We can't gather armed forces to fight them? That's not appropriate."
On Tiandu Star, there are constant small disputes, but most of them are at the political level. There hasn't been a war for a long time, and the people are still rich and happy.
The upper class has also considered it, but compared with the sea discharge operation whose results are still unknown, it is obviously more undesirable to directly start a war.
Besides, Penang has been studied, and there are data showing that after dilution with seawater and ecological purification, those harmful substances will be insignificant and not worth mentioning?
"And after the discharge, we waited and watched for a long time and found that there was indeed no obvious change, except that the sales of seafood fell sharply at one time." Lu Qingyang added, "It has been a few years, and no major incidents have occurred. People's lives have long returned to normal. They all thought that Penang's original expectation was correct. Who would have thought..."
If they knew that the waste discharge would cause the end of the world, they would fight for a bad reputation and destroy peace to take down Penang, right?
But knowing in advance is priceless, and there is no regret medicine in the world... Oh, there is still this.
"At the beginning of the discharge, we were indeed worried. Because we were not sure about the safety, we specially discharged in batches with small volumes, and also arranged for special personnel to go to the beach to measure the changes in harmful data." Xiong Yiwo ignored the outside world and continued to speak steadily. "Although there are small fluctuations, they are all much lower than the warning value, and there is a downward trend as time goes by."
Since the method is feasible and effective, the Penang people's hanging hearts are naturally relieved. There will be a second and third time until the drainage is completed.
This cancer-like semi-synthetic substance was solved in this way, and one of the major concerns was reduced. The rest is just waiting for the harmful substances attached to the site to dissipate over time...
"Since you all said that there is no problem," Lin Fan was puzzled, "This happened a few years ago, how can it be related to the end of the world again? Isn't it said that the end of the world will happen suddenly?"
Lu Qingyang and others broke free from their emotions after her reminder, and they also felt strange.
They always thought that Penang conducted some major virus research last year, and accidentally leaked it to cause the end of the world, but they said that it was not the case. Roughly speaking, it took at least five or six years from the end of the sea drainage to the end of the world. It doesn't make sense that there was no movement before, and suddenly the end of the world happened in the blink of an eye.
Xiong Yiwo couldn't hear anything because he was in hypnosis, so Jin Sichen asked him again.
"At first, we didn't know that the end of the world would be related to Penang. Everyone was in a hurry to deal with it. Fortunately, Penang has a strong self-defense force to protect it because of its scientific research nature, and most of the scientists stay in the research site, almost isolated from the world, so there are no casualties."
But Penang people are more than scientists? You can guess the part that Xiong Yiwo skipped without saying it.
Although Penang has many intellectuals, it looks weak. But as the saying goes, knowledge is power. They improved the weapons that can restrain mutant plants at the fastest speed. The back-mounted gaseous fuel flamethrower has a long range and sufficient firepower. Those who have used it say it's good...
In short, sufficient reserves and sophisticated weapons allowed them to avoid the initial indiscriminate attack. In the gap between respite, they even extracted shocking results from the residual tissues of the mutants.
"We found that the trace elements contained in those things are surprisingly consistent with the substances we discharged before..."
"Those?!" The people at the Huayi base jumped up again, "Didn't you just discharge them once? Where did those come from?!"
Lin Fan sighed.
Jin Sichen kindly repeated the question.
"After that, the research institute found that the ocean's purification power is very good and will not cause too much impact on the environment itself. Later, we tried it several times..."
"Fuck!" Antonio had already sat on the chair next to Lin Fan, with an unbelievable look on his face, "Have they forgotten that there are creatures in the sea? Just because people can't stand it, let those marine creatures bear it? Bully them because they can't speak and can't run? Ha! The flower of evil finally bore fruit after a long time."
Xiong Yiwo said unmoved: "We have always strictly monitored the values. The radiation damage of various elements is far from the warning line, so we didn't pay much attention to it. For such a strong tolerance of the ocean, the research institute even set up a special project team to conduct targeted experiments to see if they can benefit from it and solve the problems on the ground."
Needless to say, it's going to the sea again.
Lin Fan wanted to sigh.
She, who doesn't know much about science, also knows that mixing different things together will cause problems. Even if it is really as he said, it is far from the warning value, but not touching the red line does not mean there is no harm. Arsenic can be eaten directly, it's just a matter of how much.
As time goes by, the problem in the sea must have been serious. Only these blind people are still dreaming.
But do you want to say that they have never thought about such a problem?
So a group of scientists, with the smartest brains in the world, have never thought about it?
Impossible.
There must be a reason that interfered with their thinking. Perhaps it was rashness, blind confidence, selective neglect... or perhaps it was interference from the upper-level bank Z decision-makers, holding the fluke mentality that nothing had happened...
Jin Sichen was also very uncomfortable and didn't want to listen to this anymore, so he asked him to get back to the point.
"After discovering the connection, many people panicked, but it must not be exposed at this time. So in order to make up for it, we developed a physical potion. Since animals and plants can become stronger and have wisdom through the mixing of elements, why can't people benefit from it?"
Xiong Yiwo suddenly became passionate.
"Finally we succeeded!"
This topic is a bit sensitive, and I'm afraid of the small black room. So I don't dare to write it in depth, just like this, everyone can understand it. After talking about the background, it's the protagonist's part.
My laptop crashed all morning today. I bought it in January 2015, so it's pretty long-lasting now. I'm really afraid it'll crash someday.
I'll hold on until I buy a new one at the end of the month. I've seen enough configurations, so I'm just waiting for discounts.
