Chapter 1031: The smog in Yanjing
readx;
Yanjing, early Monday morning.
After several days of refreshing in early autumn, the annoying haze began to haunt the capital again. Walking on the street, there were white areas everywhere, more than ten meters apart, and I could no longer see the person coming across.
Bai Xinwen is a senior drifter in Beijing. He is no longer surprised by such smog weather. Sitting on the bus, the domineering pants building of CCTV in the distance was hidden in the fog, like a "fairyland".
Even when sitting in the bus, you can still smell the scent of haze floating in the air, which reminded Bai Xinwen of a famous "joke" on the Internet, which roughly means that the haze in the capital tastes like how it tastes, full of cultural heritage, etc. The make-up is a bit funny, but it is also full of helpless self-deprecating.
Through the car window, you can vaguely see pedestrians riding electric bikes and electric bikes wearing large white masks. This thing is now very popular on Taobao and has become a must-have "equipment" for many people in Beijing to travel.
The harm of haze has been known to everyone after years of popularization of online science. Everyone is helpless about the infringement of haze. The rapid economic development has brought improvements in people's material living standards, but it also brought about the consequences of environmental deterioration. Haze is a painful pain for every ordinary person in the capital and Yanbei. If the water is not clean, you can choose pure water and the food is not hygienic. You can buy it from a distance, but the air is not clean, so there is no choice!
Bai Xinwen no longer looked out the window, but joined the "head-downing clan" in the car, took out his cell phone, and flipped out the news.
Bai Xinwen is a website editor. Reading news is an entertainment and leisure for others, but a job for him.
The news on the homepage was filled with speeches, meetings, etc. from some national leaders, and then some local news, without any particularly eye-catching things.
He flipped through the local news again, and a piece of news immediately attracted his attention.
"Yanjing City launched the 'Purification 2016' plan to control haze, and may use new equipment to control haze." A message came into view.
"New equipment? Control haze? This is interesting, I just don't know what kind of new equipment it is?" Bai Xinwen thought.
He looked at the comments below the news, and many netizens have already commented. Most of them have maintained a high interest in this new device, but there are also people who pour cold water on them, saying that if the source of pollution is not fundamentally eliminated, no new device will be useful.
Bai Xinwen looked at the news again. The above is very general and does not explain what this new technology is. However, the news acumen of the website editor made him feel that there is likely to be big news to explore.
Like Bai Xinwen, many people have begun to pay attention to this sudden news. Because the spokesperson is the head of the Yanjing Environmental Protection Department, this makes this news very credible.
Bai Xinwen no longer reads the news, but takes out his mobile phone and calls the website manager. He briefly talks about his discovery on the phone, and also proposes to follow up and report on this matter.
At the same time, Director Li Xiangli of Yanjing Environmental Protection Bureau is also sitting in the office feeling uncomfortable.
Not long after the official announcement was released, more than a hundred calls came to his cell phone. Among them were his leaders, colleagues, friends, reporters, etc. The content they asked was the same, that is, what was going on about "new environmental protection equipment".
The problem of haze has become a problem of high concern to people, especially the smog situation in Yanjing in recent days has become increasingly serious, and the outside world has doubts about the environmental protection department has become increasingly louder. Under such circumstances, such a news naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
The landline suddenly rang. Director Li glanced at the caller ID and quickly picked it up. His tone seemed very respectful and enthusiastic. He did not express the anxiety he had just now.
"Director Xu, I'm just waiting for your phone call. To be honest, I've become the focus of all parties now. Is this plan to 'purify 2016' as magical? Now everyone is very concerned about this matter." Director Li asked with a smile on the phone, but from his words, it can be heard that he is definitely not feeling relaxed at the moment.
"I have no way to predict the specific effect now. The general manager of the project plan this time is Comrade Chu Yang, and he happens to be here, so I'll let him talk to you." Minister Xu said directly at the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Director Li, I am Chu Yang." A young voice came from the phone.
"Chu Yang?" Director Li muttered the name, but he felt it sounded a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"Hello Comrade Chu Yang, about this purification 2016 project, I want to take the liberty to ask what effect can it achieve?" Director Li didn't go around the corner and asked directly.
Chu Yang is at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Just a day ago, after the joint cooperation between the Chinese Academy of Sciences and several construction companies, this super pure spiritual formation covering the entire Yanjing city was finally completed under the guidance of Chu Yang. Seeing eight formation eyes comparable to the size of a football field and the core of the formation built in the center of Beihai Park, Chu Yang couldn't help but sigh at the strength of the national power. If he did this kind of thing himself, of course, it could be done, but it would definitely not achieve such high efficiency. Not to mention anything else, in just less than three days, more than 100 tons of white jade were in place. Such efficiency made Chu Yang nod secretly.
Those white jades have been tested. Although they are C-level, they are of good quality. Many of them have even reached the B-level standard. They are full of sincerity and have absolutely no cutting corners.
A dedicated transmission line with a power of 200,000 kilowatts was successfully transported to the core of the formation after a week of emergency construction. You should know that you have to pass through several important locations in Yanjing along the way, and it is an underground route or a capital. How much project volume is there and how many difficulties it needs to be overcome. Even if Chu Yang is a cultivator, you can imagine it!
Seeing this scene, Chu Yang became more determined to cooperate with the country. Even though Leshenmen moved overseas, if they want to develop better, there are still many places that need to cooperate with the country. Only in this way can Leshenmen develop as fast as possible!
Chu Yang heard Director Li’s question on the phone, smiled slightly, and then said: “Director Li, the specific effect will not be visible until the equipment is officially started, but I promise you here that it is definitely better than you imagined. You can promote it now. Two days later, the 2016 Purification Project will officially start in Beihai Park. I have discussed it with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. At that time, a public ceremony will be held. The media and ordinary people are welcome to come and watch the ceremony and witness the effect of this set of equipment together.”
When Director Li was stunned when he heard Chu Yang's words.
He automatically ignored Chu Yang's previous words, but instead grasped the key points behind him.
This set of equipment actually has to hold a launch ceremony. Doesn’t that mean that the operating effect of this set of equipment will be immediate? If not, how can we witness the effect of this set of equipment?
But to control haze, what equipment can achieve immediate results? Could it be that once the equipment is running, the haze will automatically disappear?
Director Li hesitated to express his doubts in his heart. Of course, he spoke in a more tactful manner and did not directly express his disbelief.
"Director Li, don't worry, I can guarantee that the effect will surprise everyone by then. You can go public with confidence and boldness!" Chu Yang knew that he was still suspicious when he heard Director Li's words, and couldn't help but smile and give him a reassurance.
"I need to ask the superior department for this...promotional matter. Of course, I am still very much looking forward to your equipment." After Director Li said this, he politely spoke to Chu Yang, and then hung up the phone.
The other party said so much that he felt even more unsatisfied. How haze was formed and how difficult it was to control it was, the Environmental Protection Director was quite clear in his heart. If only one device could solve the problem, what kind of equipment would it be? Could it be a super-large vacuum cleaner?
He shook his head, shook this idea out of his mind, and then called the Ministry of Environmental Protection. Although he felt that the other party's statement was a bit unreliable, after all, he represented the Chinese Academy of Sciences and made such a request. If he did not take any action, it would be unreasonable. However, he would not dare to make decisions on such publicity. If he slapped himself in the face, then he, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, would be the end of the day.
A phone call was called to the Ministry of Environmental Protection. After hearing his report, the deputy minister in charge had a strange attitude, probably the same as his thoughts. However, after hearing the name of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it was hard to just say it. He also said that he would report to the minister and asked Director Li to wait for the news.
After calling out, Director Li let down most of his heart. No matter what, he had already pushed the matter up. What should he do at that time is enough to look at the meaning of the above. Of course, he hopes that this matter will be delayed for a longer time, and it is best to delay the launching ceremony. If there is any problem, it will be just a problem with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
However, the response to the phone call was faster than he thought. In just half an hour, his cell phone rang again.
He is still the deputy minister in charge of Yanjing's environmental protection work. This time, the other party's tone was unprecedentedly clear and firm.
"Comrade Li Xiangli, the leader has made clear instructions and fully cooperate with the Chinese Academy of Sciences' project work and do a good job of publicity. He also said that he will attend the launch ceremony the day after tomorrow!"
"Ah?" Hearing the words on the phone, Director Li suddenly fell into a state of dullness!
Chapter completed!
