Chapter 42 Oil Spills

CHAPTER XLII

"Teacher, if you have time tonight, my dad still wants to treat you to a meal. Bi Qi said to Gu Lu with a grin.

Gu Lu frowned slightly, "Didn't I say that there is no need for your father to invite guests to dinner." ”

Bi Qi looked helpless, "But my dad still wants to thank you, Teacher Gu." Besides, he even had already booked a box. ”

"Teacher, we're really not a gift to you. It's just a matter of gratitude. Seeing that Gu Lu still wanted to refuse, Bi Qi smiled bitterly, "Just the analysis of this set of real questions you gave me today, in terms of value, is already several times more than a meal." ”

The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds, and Gu Lu reluctantly agreed, "What about time and place?"

Seeing Gu Lu agree, Bi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Before leaving in the morning, Bi Guoqiang gave a death order to Bi Qi, saying that he must persuade Gu Lu to come to the banquet.

"My dad said he would wait for us at the school gate, and when the teacher got off work, we would just go over directly. Bi Qi said with a smile.

…………

Half past six in the evening.

A white Mercedes-Benz of the latest model was parked in front of Haicheng No. 1 Middle School.

Gu Lu and Bi Qi, who had just gotten off work, walked out of the school gate together.

Bi Guoqiang, who was leaning on the Mercedes-Benz and smoking, extinguished the cigarette butt and greeted him with a smile.

"Hahaha, Teacher Gu, don't blame Xiao Qi, I really want to invite you to eat and thank you. Bi Guoqiang smiled and shook hands with Gu Lu, while apologizing to Gu Lu.

Gu Lu smiled faintly and nodded to show that he didn't mind.

"That'...... I've already booked a box, and it's in Shanhai Pavilion. ”

Bi Guoqiang opened the car door, let Gu Lu and Bi Qi sit in the back seat, and then opened the front door and sat in the co-pilot's seat.

"Xiao Li, go to Shanhai Pavilion. Bi Guoqiang said to the young driver in the driver's seat.

After driving for nearly half an hour, he was about to arrive at Shanhai Pavilion, but Bi Guoqiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly received a phone call.

"Uh-huh. Okay, I'll be there right away!"

Hanging up the phone, Bi Guoqiang turned his head and said to Gu Lu apologetically, "Teacher Gu, I'm really sorry! Something happened in the unit suddenly, and I want to go over immediately." You ......"

Bi Guoqiang originally wanted to say that he would put Gu Lu down at the door of Shanhai Pavilion and rush back when he was done dealing with things.

But when I think about it, it is really inappropriate for me to leave the guests here alone and slip away by myself.

Gu Lu smiled, "I'll accompany Mr. Bi to you over." ”

"Thank you Teacher Gu for your understanding. Bi Guoqiang explained, "The matter is really urgent, and the boss asked me to deal with it immediately." I'm helpless. ”

He turned his head to the driver beside him and said, "Xiao Li, go back to the Oceanic Bureau, hurry!"

Oceanic Bureau?

Gu Lu was sure that he had heard these three words.

He whispered to Bi Qi, who was sitting beside him, "What does your dad do?"

"Deputy Director of the Beihai Branch of the Huaguo Oceanic Bureau. Bi Qi replied to Gu Lu.

Gu Lu's pupils shrank.

Deputy Director of the Beihai Branch of the Oceanic Administration?

Unexpectedly, Bi Qi's father held an important position.

But then again, what kind of emergency situation will urgently recall the deputy director of a sub-bureau?

Needless to say, it must be a big event!

As one of the four sub-bureaus under the General Administration of Oceanography of China, the headquarters of the Beihai Branch is located in a prosperous area adjacent to the Beihai coast in Haicheng City.

When the time was close to half past seven, a speeding Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of the Beihai Branch.

Looking through the car window, the Beihai branch was brightly lit, and shadowy figures were walking in a hurry.

Bi Guoqiang opened the car door, and he didn't even have time to tidy up his suit, so he hurriedly walked into the interior of the Oceanic Bureau.

Gu Lu and Bi Qi also got out of the car and hurriedly followed.

"Report on the situation!"

In the technical monitoring center inside the Oceanic Bureau, Bi Guoqiang crossed his waist and gasped and said to a middle-aged man with eyes, "Niu Kelian, tell me about the specific situation!"

The middle-aged man lifted his eyes, picked up a thick notebook and said, "It's about 4:07 this afternoon......"

As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Bi Guoqiang's voice.

"What, four o'clock !!" Bi Guoqiang looked at the middle-aged man, looking like are you kidding me.

He pointed to the time on the wall clock and shouted, "It's half past seven now!" It took more than three hours to react after the accident. Are all of you all sloths!!"

Bi Guoqiang scolded in the monitoring center.

More than a dozen technicians were scolded for bowing their heads and closing themselves.

But Bi Guoqiang also knew the urgency of the current time, and motioned to the middle-aged man who reported, "You go on." ”

"At about 4:07 p.m. today, our city ......"

Gu Lu, who came in with Bi Guoqiang, also heard the middle-aged man's narration.

At the same time, I also understood why the above urgently recalled Bi Guoqiang, the deputy director, to the bureau.

Because it's an oil spill!

That's right, it's an oil spill!

And a very serious oil spill!

At around 4 o'clock this afternoon, a large-scale rupture occurred in the oil transportation pipeline of a well-known petrochemical group, causing a large amount of crude oil to leak.

The spilled crude oil flowed directly into the North Sea along Jiaozhou Bay.

However, the petrochemical group did not find out about this situation in time, or it had already discovered it but did not report it.

Anyway, the fact is that it wasn't until about seven o'clock in the evening that a fisherman who came back from fishing discovered the situation and reported it to the Beihai Branch.

Then, after a short verification, the information is confirmed.

Fortunately, due to the proximity of the pipeline to the coast, there were fewer people living in the vicinity, and only a few minor injuries were caused by the accident.

But it is also unfortunate that due to its proximity to the coast, a large amount of oil flows into the sea, causing serious pollution.

"How much oil is leaking into the North Sea?" Bi Guoqiang asked.

"According to the data from the petrochemical group, the total oil spill is 5,000 tons, and the oil flowing into the North Sea is expected to be about 4,000 tons!" the middle-aged man said with difficulty.

4000 tons!

Once such a large amount of oil is completely spread in the North Sea waters, the harm caused to the North Sea waters will be huge!

In the next two to three years, it will be a fatal blow to the aquaculture and fishing activities on which the Beihai Haicheng depends.

The government certainly does not want to see such a situation happen.

"Has the clean-up boat been dispatched?" Bi Guoqiang asked in a deep voice.

The middle-aged man shook his head, "Not yet." Since the current scope and path of oil diffusion have not been determined, it is useless to send out sewage cleaning ships!"

Oil is less dense than water and floats on the surface of seawater.

And it will also flow and spread with the flow of seawater.

During the day, helicopters can be used directly in the air to determine the extent of the spread and flow path of oil.

But now that it's dark, the road doesn't work at all.

"Then hurry up and make sure!" Bi Guoqiang couldn't keep calm either, and shouted loudly.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, "Director, more than a dozen technicians from our technical monitoring center are already calculating. But it will take at least more than an hour to get the results!"

More than an hour?

Then the oil has spread hundreds of square meters over the sea?!

"Then go and ask for someone!" Bi Guoqiang waved his hand.

The middle-aged man then smiled bitterly, "We have already contacted Academician Guo of Huaguo Ocean University, but the distance is a bit far, and it will take at least forty minutes to arrive." Add in the calculation time, at least an hour later. ”

CTMD!

Bi Guoqiang couldn't help but swear.

"Isn't there any other way!!"

Just when Bi Guoqiang was a little desperate, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Director Bi, why don't you let me try?"
