Oil spills have always been considered to be the most polluting accidents in the ocean, and there have been many oil spills in history, causing immeasurable ecological disasters to the ocean.

During the Gulf War, before the withdrawal of Iraqi troops from Kuwait, Saddam ordered the ignition of oil wells in Kuwait, and as many as 1.5 million tons of oil spilled into an area of 500 kilometers off the northwest coast of Saudi Arabia, covering a thickness of more than 10 centimeters with oil slicks, which was the most serious oil spill accident to date.

In 1979, an explosion occurred in the Ixtoke-I oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, which lasted nine months, and 1 million tons of oil flowed into the Gulf of Mexico, producing a large area of oil slick.

Most of the countless crude oil leaked into the sea can only be burned directly, and the few crude oil floating on the surface of the sea are encircled with things, gathered together, pumped to the transport ship with water pumps and other tools, and disposed of after landing.

Even a country like the United States, which has strong scientific and technological and economic strength, is so powerless and helpless in the face of a huge global public problem such as a sea oil spill that threatens the maritime security of all mankind.

Although the sea is tolerant of all rivers and has a lot of tolerance, the ocean obviously cannot contain these filth.

In areas where oil spills are often devastated, seabirds, fish, plankton, seabed plants, and coral reefs are all not spared, and they cannot be recovered for a long time.

In addition, crude oil will continue to spread to the surrounding area with ocean currents, exacerbating ecological damage.

"Brother Hang, let's get out of here quickly!" Wei Hai said, the oil stains had already blown under their ships under the action of the sea breeze, and the hull of the ship was stuck with some oil stains, and he didn't want to stay here anymore.

"Fortunately, it's far away from our country, and it looks like the Sea of Japan is going to be affected!" said someone who said with a tone full of schadenfreude and resentment.

It is the closest to Japan. Pollution is also polluting them Japan. Although this kind of thinking is very immoral, how much can everyone manage, that is, ordinary people? Anyway, it is a very real idea that does not have a good impression of Japan.

"You're too optimistic. This is the largest current belt in the western Pacific, and it's easy to bring this pollution to other countries, especially our territorial waters. Not to mention anything else, our Paradise for Ten Thousand Birds will definitely be affected to a certain extent. Wei Hang smiled bitterly.

Among them, the most impactful. It may be the paradise of ten thousand birds that has not been discovered for a long time.

According to this situation, in a few days, the crude oil will reach the sea area where the Ten Thousand Bird Paradise is located, and the damage caused to the environment of the Ten Thousand Bird Paradise can be imagined. Those thousands of seabirds, I don't know how many will die!

Gu Haichao also came to his senses, and he hurriedly said to Wei Hang: "Yes, Xiaohang, hurry up and call the professor to inform them." Let the state send someone to deal with it. ”

For a scientist like him, his habits of thinking have long been fixed, and the first thing that comes to mind is the strong backing of the state. It's just, this case. Even if the country came forward and sent people over, I am afraid that it would not be able to do anything, right? Even other superpowers would be helpless, let alone their country?

Don't worry about Haichao's reminder. Wei Hang immediately called Academician Kong in Ten Thousand Birds Paradise and Professor Yu in Tangjia Village.

"What? Crude oil spill spreading to us? Xiaohang, you're not kidding, are you? Old man, I can't stand the blow. Ah, where, how strict, how long will it take to get to us?"

Academician Kong was sorting out the collected samples when he received a call from Wei Hang. I almost jumped up, and finally waited for Wei Hang to finish speaking, and even asked like a cannon.

"It's going to take about a day or two, or maybe a few days! I don't know, you better send a professional to deal with it!" Wei Hang told him what he saw, he wasn't even an amateur, and asked him what was the use?

"Okay, I'll notify the above, and you send me the coordinates. Academician Kong was not polite to him, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Xiaoling, you help me call Major General Qin over, I have something to tell him. That's right, just ask him to come here, I don't have time to look for him now!" After Academician Kong finished speaking, he stopped looking at his assistant and directly dialed the phone number of the relevant department.

Seeing that Academician Kong no longer paid attention to her, the young assistant had no choice but to go out. Will Major General Qin really be called by you without saying a word? Can't you call him directly without embarrassing me?

When Professor Yu received the call, his body trembled, his body was not yet complete, there were too many troubles waiting for him recently, and he was very busy. Even though he knew that Academician Kong would inform the people of the state, he couldn't help but call it too.

When the maritime department received the news, they also realized the seriousness of the situation, not to mention the identity of Academician Kong, how important the Ten Thousand Birds Paradise is, they have been concerned for a long time, and they are also very aware of it.

Now that the matter has involved them, one is not handled properly, and if it is not done well, the class can be dismissed. As soon as he thought of this, he scolded the country that leaked oil, regardless of who he was.

They immediately dispatched relevant emergency boats to the accident site.

"Damn! Can't you go a little farther and sink again?" The angry young man who was still gloating about the disaster suddenly turned red-eyed, and he couldn't wait to fight the devil immediately.

"What should I do with this thing?" someone asked.

"What else can I do? If you can, circle it and draw it back. If you can't do it, you will burn it with fire. Chen Jianliang said.

If you burn it, it will definitely cause a second pollution, air pollution. Also, not all ingredients can be burned.

Anyway, this thing is very troublesome, and with the current technology, it is really a bit overwhelmed and can't be handled.

Wei Hang nodded, there is no good way for the time being. Some theoretically feasible methods, but the limitations are too great, the effect will not be obvious, and the time required will be very long.

"Microbial decomposition is theoretically possible. He said.

As far as he knows, the most effective way to deal with oil spills at present is the microbial method. Among them is an oleophile, which is able to "eat" alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons and other substances in the environment, converting them into bacterial cells, water, carbon dioxide and other substances.

In an environment that contains oil, the bacteria will multiply rapidly and will continue to eat the surrounding oil until the oil is completely gone. At the same time, the bacteria produce a surfactant enzyme that accelerates the decomposition of the oil.

But this method is not perfect, and while destroying crude oil, these bacteria also have a negative impact on the local area, as they consume large amounts of dissolved oxygen in seawater, making it a "dead zone".

Without enough oxygen, they can't continue to reproduce and break down oil.

The main question is, where is he going to find those oleophiles now? Even with the power of the state, he may not find enough numbers to play a role, right?

It's hard to find outside, but what about Haizhu? Wei Hang suddenly thought about it, and immediately found a corner where no one was around, and found it in Haizhu.

In addition to all kinds of ferocious animals, there are also a lot of microorganisms and plants in Haizhu, and maybe things with similar effects are not necessarily!

Maybe it's a spiritual relationship, or maybe it's a relationship between Haizhu and he is the master, many species in Haizhu can have a weak divine sense communication with him, so that he can understand their characteristics in the shortest possible time. That's how the ability to gnaw gold beasts was known in the first place.

Soon, he found what he was looking for, and it was a huge amount of seaweed. Seaweeds are very large, hundreds of meters tall.

According to the gold-gnawing beast's response, the seaweed appears to be able to eat crude oil. They are usually rooted where there is oil and then grow like crazy.

That oil is almost their nourishment and absorbs it very quickly. Not only can the roots absorb it, but even other parts can also absorb it like a sponge, which is very scary.

As long as they are given enough oil, this seaweed can grow all over the sea overnight, and their reproductive ability, even the species in the sea pearl, is also quite fearful.

Hearing these contents, Wei Hang's heart moved, and he immediately pulled out some seaweed, and when everyone didn't pay attention, he got it into the sea and tested it, whether it was really that powerful.

However, to his surprise, the seaweed was so awesome that it was simply undisciplined.

I saw that the oil next to it was gradually absorbed, and a vacancy appeared in that place, revealing seawater.

"Look, what's that?" After a while, someone finally noticed that there was something unusual about the sea, that the green was too conspicuous on the gray sea.

Everyone looked at it, and they saw that a green seaweed-like thing on the surface of the sea was slowly spreading, covering the crude oil in the sea, as if it was absorbing and devouring it.

Even Weihang didn't expect that the effect would be so terrifying. Knowing that this would cause a sensation, he would not be so reckless.

"It's not covering, they're absorbing oil, you see, they're growing!"

"Impossible, isn't it? there's such a miraculous thing?" the others, who were obviously unconvinced, ran to the side of the ship to take a closer look.

"The growth of these seaweeds shouldn't consume oxygen, right? It seems to be feasible! It's just that when they finish eating the oil, will this area be covered by them?" Wei Hang thought, just wait and sneak them all back into the sea pearl.

He does things that no one can notice, and the speed is just too fast. With his current ability, coupled with the power of Haizhu, when he acts, he will not even leave a shadow.

It is in this way that he can swim in the ocean with impunity. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether you can walk around this ocean in this life.

The earth is not big, but it is not small. If you measure it by the network, it is indeed pitifully small, even if it is the current means of transportation, it does not take long to circle around.

But if you want to step across the ocean, it's a fool's dream!(To be continued......
