When the Jiagu Desert Water Seeking Team was looking for water in disgrace, Qi Zheng was also in the same desert, but he was on the other side of the desert, and he was brewing ...... "pit man".

When planning to control and develop the desert, Qi Zheng not only brought water into the desert, but also remembered the desert pollution incident that came to light a few years later.

Because after the incident was exposed, the amount of fines imposed on the enterprises involved set a new record for environmental public interest litigation in China, which left a profound impact on Qi Zheng. He remembers that the report mentioned that the pollution had been going on for 20 years.

Is this worth it?

He can't work hard to divert water from thousands of miles away to transform the desert, and on the other hand, let these bastards spare no effort to pollute the desert, right?

So he disguised himself as a tourist and went to the local area to find out.

Located in a chemical park on the edge of the desert, dozens of eastern chemical companies have come to invest and build factories here, mainly focusing on sulfide alkali projects. The amount of sewage produced by these highly polluting enterprises each year is staggering.

Qi Zheng knows that in this era of pursuing economic development, there are really many ways for black-hearted enterprises to pollute the environment.

For example, "small, scattered and polluted" enterprises are "quiet" during the day and emit black smoke and sewage at night, for example, bare mines are "repaired" by painting green paint after mining, and sewage is stored by the river and let the river "take away" the sewage when it rains......

In desert areas, where regulation is weaker, there is no escape. The boundless desert, sparsely populated, and the rapid infiltration of pollutants in the sand seem to have become a natural "high-quality sewage dump". Some high-polluting enterprises, which have been approved under the banner of "ecological circular economy", also concentrate on polluting here to evade supervision.

Qi Zheng noticed that the form of the desert near the chemical park has changed significantly, and in some low-lying areas, purple or black-brown sand immediately appears when the floating sand is removed.

A glimpse of the whole leopard.

With the help of a local young man, Qi Zheng found a sidewalk on the north side of the industrial park that led deep into the desert. About three or four kilometers east of the trail into the desert, a huge open field suddenly flashed behind the dunes, and the contrast between yellow sand and black water was very shocking.

As soon as I opened the door, a pungent stench rushed into the wind, making it impossible to breathe. When I got back into the car, the pungent smell had instantly filled the car, and I could only barely breathe after wearing a mask.

As you move on, you can see man-dug valleys and ravines, the bottom of which is covered with residual sewage and black silt, emitting a foul smell, while the surrounding "wheat straw squares" used to control sand have left traces of soaking.

It is easy to spot a sewage pipe that runs through the desert from an industrial park several kilometers away, and the outfall is clearly visible, these thick PE pipes with a diameter of at least 30 centimeters, which have been discharging sewage directly and in a continuous stream for a long time.

Wearing a mask, the young man said in a puff: "Direct discharge is the norm, and what we are most worried about is harmful substances entering the groundwater. It is important to know that the wastewater residue of chemical enterprises, which contains a high concentration of acidic liquid, is likely to have seeped into the ground. Previously, some people examined groundwater and found that phenols exceeded the standard by more than 400 times, but they were not taken seriously. ”

According to him, direct discharge is one practice, and landfilling pollutants is another.

Some companies discharge untreated wastewater into a sewage tank where it evaporates. The viscous sediment is then shoveled out with a forklift and buried directly in the desert.

In a depression the size of a football field, some of which are dark mud and some are black and sticky, when a certain amount of material accumulates, bulldozers are dispatched to push the sand into the landfill.

The young man said that there are many such sewage points nearby, and the smell is stinking every day, and if he does not wear a mask, it will not be long before he not only has a headache, but also his throat cannot stand it.

The young man finally sighed: "In the past, this was a desert grassland dominated by small shrubs, which was very beautiful, but since the industrial development, the environment is not as good as before. ”

Qi Zheng looked at the pollution scene in front of him, and only wanted to greet the ancestors of the black-hearted entrepreneurs.

"Once the groundwater is polluted, not only will the habitat that pastoralists have lived for thousands of years be lost. What's more, once desert groundwater is contaminated, remediation is almost impossible. A well-known grassland ecologist said so.

This scene in front of us shows that the "miracle in the history of human desertification control" created by generations of hard work for decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China has lost to the development model of black-hearted enterprises that ignore environmental protection and only care about wallets. In a sense, discharging sewage in the desert here is a stupid practice of "enjoying the blessings of ancestors and creating descendants".

Whether it is for the sake of the country and the people, or for the sake of Jiagu's strategic goals, this "cancer" must be completely uprooted! Qi Zheng secretly made up his mind.

......

Another wind and sand are coming.

In the park, the person in charge of Meili Paper Company is very calm. At the edge of the desert, wind and sand are unavoidable. Fortunately, the desert here has been treated by windbreak and sand fixation, and serious sandstorms are basically not visible.

After he made the arrangements, he took precautions and hid in the office to drink tea.

But soon, he sensed something was wrong.

The wind and sand were howling outside, especially the loud "crackling" sound on the windows. He's not calm, it's not like ordinary wind and sand.

Listening closely, there was a loud "clang" sound in the courtyard in front of me, and it seemed that I could still smell an unpleasant smell.

Is this the situation of Shenma? The person in charge was a little nervous.

Finally, when the movement was quieter, he immediately led someone to open the door.

The pungent smell was so strong that it was almost suffocating, and when I looked at it, I was stunned, there was no "mouth dumb", and the stench was so smoky that people even held their breath.

I saw that the outside of the company was a mess, black sand covered the ground and walls, dirty and smelly, and there were several pipes crooked in the yard.

The person in charge is a spirit, and he has died, is this a pollutant discharged? How is it possible? Aren't they all buried? How strong does it take for the wind to blow them into the sky?

I didn't wait to come up with a reason, so I closed the door first and said that the smell was still too big, and the smoke was really unbearable.

Soon, his subordinates came to report that not only their own company, but also the entire park were "patronized" by the smelly wind and sand, which was miserable.

The person in charge had an idea in his heart for no reason: "Is this self-inflicted?"

If Qi Zheng hears it, he will definitely look disdainful, and it's rare that you still have points in your heart!

"Tiangang Wuji Array triggered, the main gold and water systems, range: 250 kilometers around. Effect: Extreme pressure, wind. It can control the air pressure, and the wind and water rise. ”

It is impossible for normal wind-blown sand to "return" the pollutants to their original substances, but anything is possible with someone intervening.

The "flat wind" of the spirit array not only swept the pollutants into the sky, but even broke the sewage pipes, taking advantage of the wind and sand to "return" to the chemical park on the edge of the discharge desert.

If you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back. If you dare to discharge sewage casually, I will dare to punish on behalf of the desert, Qi Zheng said ruthlessly.

And that's not all.

The head of the American paper company was talking to the owners of other factories about this phenomenon that had never happened before, and the people below rushed to report that the scattered pollutants had also fallen to the settlements and cities with the wind and sand, causing an uproar.

When the person in charge heard this, his eyes went dark, and it was over......
