Chapter 550: "Silly White Sweets" (1/2)
"It feels like we're the villains!" Wei Ming, the head of the Jiagu Desert development team, looked at the noisy "protest" scene outside the oasis, without much nervousness, and even wanted to laugh a little.
After all, there were no slogans, no signs, no flags, and a group of young people dressed as students, shouting slogans, posing, and uttering a feeble cry "To protect the desert is to protect the earth...... It's a bit mentally retarded!
After experiencing the "gentle care" of the sandstorm, although they have been cleaned up, they still inevitably look unkempt, which makes this group of people not like a protest crowd, but a bit of a sense of "refugees".
- Don't you see that the media reporters in the back all look like they have toothaches?
What they want is the spirit of the protesters to tear up Jiagu's blood, and the momentum of wanting to tear Jiagu's cells apart, not this scene that seems to be fleeing.
Qi Zheng couldn't help but nod: "From their point of view, aren't we just being villains." ”
Wei Ming also shook his head: "They are also unlucky." To be honest, sandstorms in this area are rare, but they hit them head-on, tsk, it's really miserable. ”
Qi Zheng smiled but said nothing.
"The Tiangang Infinite Array (Fourth Order) is triggered, with two main gold and water systems, and the range: a radius of one thousand kilometers. Effect: Extreme pressure, wind. It can control the air pressure, and the wind and water rise. ”
The nearby desert was covered by the "Tiangang Infinite Array", and Qi Zheng made a move to create a small "sandstorm", which was not too easy.
Originally, I wanted to launch it when they were protesting, but after thinking about it, I decided to make a fool of them in advance when I had the opportunity. Otherwise, let the media take the ideal picture, and the ghost knows what they will make up?
Now it's good that serious protest turns into a funny scene -- aren't you protesting against the development of the desert? Oh, that's the "enthusiasm" of the desert that you want to protect.
Qi Zheng said leisurely: "Aren't the members of the Green Harmony Organization suffering from 'exposure addiction' and keen to use the media to create a landscape? Now they have become a landscape of their own, which can be regarded as seeking benevolence......
Wei Ming couldn't help but laugh.
If Chrissy, the organizer of the protest crowd, heard Qi Zheng's words, she probably wanted to bite him to death. She wants to be on camera, but she definitely doesn't want to be on camera like this.
The actions of the Green Harmony organization can be in line with science, they can be unscientific, they can be purely for show, they can be pseudo-science, and they can even be anti-science, but they should never be a joke.
Of course, in this case, if they don't retreat without a fight, it will be a bigger joke, so they can only grit their teeth.
Looking at Chriss, who was jumping up and down at the front of the crowd to boost morale, Wei Ming couldn't help but wonder: "We are in our own territory, developing our own resources, if our own people come to protest, forget it, she is a foreigner, what is in her way?"
Wei Ming didn't have Qi Zheng's experience, so he didn't have a clear understanding of some insider stories, so he thought simply.
"In their opinion, it's really getting in their way. Qi Zheng said calmly: "The total population of our world, to a certain extent, has exceeded the carrying capacity of the earth, at least, if all the people in the world live like developed countries, the resources and environment of this world are simply not satisfied." ”
Hmm? This has something to do with our development of the desert? Wei Ming has a black question mark face.
Qi Zheng did not intend to publicize some insider information before there was definite information, but only analyzed it from a broad level: "Why does it matter? The desert needs to be developed, should fertilizer be invested? energy should be invested? There are other materials to be invested? These are all resources to be consumed, right?"
"In fact, we're already trying to adopt sustainable production and lifestyles, but they won't pay attention to that. What they want is not to constrain and change their own unsustainable production and consumption, but to hope that the world as a whole can maintain the status quo as much as possible. ”
Wei Ming was a little dumbfounded: "...... Isn't that going to ......? Too conspiracy theory?"
Qi Zheng shook his head, and his voice was low: "If you look closely, you will find that many environmental protection organizations have adopted double standards for environmental protection problems in developed and developing countries. ”
"In fact, in our country, or in the world, it is not only our desert development projects that are hotly debated? There is hardly a single developing country where large-scale natural resource development projects have not stumbled forward in various controversies. It's just that some projects have been completed in the end, while others are still being debated and promoted. ”
For example, the construction of reservoirs and dams is considered by many developed countries to be an important measure for the ecological environment and to promote social and economic development. However, in developing countries, it seems to be synonymous with ecological destruction.
For example, in some developing countries, such as Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc., the need to cut down forests for infrastructure construction has also been stopped and opposed by green and environmental organizations, and even local citizens have been mobilized to demonstrate, leaving the government in a passive position.
In the final analysis, the developed countries are very reluctant to see the developing countries develop like themselves, and they want to maintain the existing imbalances and inequalities in world development as much as possible, and vested interests are not willing to allow the poor to enjoy the same amount of natural resources.
However, this argument for maintaining social inequality and preventing limited resources and the environment from being shared by more people cannot be articulated. As a result, some people use a weapon that can achieve this goal in a roundabout way, or an excuse - "environmental protection".
"There are still quite a few people...... Are you really engaged in environmental protection, right?" Wei Ming seemed to refresh his three views, and said with some self-doubt.
"Of course, there must be some people who are indeed so noble that they forget themselves because of the noble realm of environmental protection. Qi Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said: "In modern times, environmental protection is a very fashionable and noble cause, we only have one earth, and of course everyone should be responsible for protecting the earth's resources and environment." But shouldn't you be wary if you find that there are some environmental standards that are significantly different from those of developed countries?"
Wei Ming was silent.
"Most of the environmental organizations originated in developed countries. Qi Zheng pouted and said: "But why are they willing to spend so much money to help a certain developing country protect the ecological environment? Why do they cherish and love the ecological environment of the recipient country more than their own country?"
"I said that they are all selfless, not hindering the development of backward countries and maintaining their relatively superior position, do you believe it?"
Wei Ming shook his head, ashamed of himself and said, "I didn't expect you to think so deeply, boss." ”
"The average person just thinks too little. Qi Zheng pointed to the protest crowd outside and said: "These college students who have been brought in, except for those who have won positions, are mostly some 'stupid white sweets' who don't have enough brains, and they will never think of how much the green and organization that supports and supports them knows how to use the current system in our country, how to co-opt some official workers, and how to spread rumors through the mainstream media, and ultimately influence public opinion and leadership decision-making......"
Wei Ming: "......"
Qi Zheng looked up at the fierce sunlight, and said with a natural expression: "Tsk, these stupid white sweets just lack the beating of society." Keep an eye on it, I'm afraid they're going to get heat stroke en masse, so I'll have to ask us to clean up the mess......"
The corners of Wei Ming's mouth twitched: "Okay." ”
What else could he say?
......
