Although he was fully mentally prepared, the moment he stepped down the helicopter suspension ladder, Qi Tianxiang still felt that his legs were a little weak and unstable, his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear anything, and he knew in his heart that he should be elegant and generous in the face of everyone's eyes, but he still couldn't help thinking about it, so he could only let Xiao Zhang support him and slowly adapt to it.

Coming out of the courtyard of the Pingba Township Government, I first took a car and turned a mountain beam, and then arrived at the col where the helicopter was parked, which was actually just a ditch that had dried up, the terrain was flat, slightly wider, and close to the road, which temporarily became the helipad for the helicopter.

Qi Tianxiang boarded the helicopter with the assistance of the pilot, still hanging down from his shoulders with the lever, firmly fixing his body to the seat, and the space for movement was smaller than in the riot-proof car. Looking at Zhou Tong, Fang Jianjian, as well as Wang Ping, Liao Yong and others, who then boarded the helicopter, they were all treated like this, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Tong helplessly and shook his head and smiled bitterly, which was regarded as accepting such a reality and distracting his attention instead.

As the pilot started the helicopter, a huge roar and vibration came from the rotation of the propeller, and in an instant the whole helicopter shook, making everyone in the seat shake with it, and all the internal organs shook violently together, and the two ears were like two pieces of cotton stuffed into them, and they immediately swelled and ached. It wasn't until the propeller speed increased, the helicopter slowly lifted off the ground, and slowly ascended, that the sound and vibration were a little quieter, but it still made the ears and heart not so comfortable.

Soon Qi Tianxiang shifted his attention, no longer paying attention to the sensations of his body, and turned his eyes to the scenery outside the helicopter. Qi Tianxiang's eyes were greeted by lush green that could not be seen at a glance, shimmering with a deep dark green luster, and the mountains became different in the flight of the helicopter suddenly rising and falling.

Flying out of the range of the Pingba Township Government, the eyes were wrapped in thick green, although the helicopter flew very low, it was difficult to see other colors except green, monotonous but full of life. It wasn't until the helicopter circled over the mine that I saw a different mountain scenery.

The green covered mountain suddenly reveals a gray and uneven piece or piece, like the scar of a mountain, and like a bald scar on the head of a leprosy, which looks dazzling and ugly. In the vicinity of each gray area, there are several inconspicuous buildings, as well as large and small production sites, hidden in the mountains and greenery.

Qi Tianxiang watched silently, and as the helicopter flew out, quietly remembering the numbers, there were about twenty such gray places, except for one or two large ones, most of them were empty fields that expanded along the mountain, presumably various production and mining sites.

After circling through several mountains, the helicopter began to fly along the winding Guishui River, and soon saw several obvious excavated empty fields on the ridge not far from the river, as well as looming factories and production areas. Hurriedly flew over the sedimentation pond that the flood washed away, and I didn't know which empty field had an accident, but it was obvious that several points were on the ridge on the side of the Guishui River, and they were not far away, and the mining area just now was only separated by a few mountain beams.

Circling and watching like this, Qi Tianxiang didn't ask, Liao Yong and the others didn't explain anything to Qi Tianxiang, one was looking out through the window, and the other was the roar of the helicopter, which also affected the communication, and it had to be loud to overshadow the sound of the helicopter, so they were reluctant to make such an attempt.

It wasn't until the helicopter flew back to the parking lot in front of the hotel, slowly descended and stopped, and turned off the engine and propellers, that all the passengers recovered and slowly stepped off the helicopter. It is only when they step on solid ground that everyone's heart finally returns to their stomachs.

Qi Tianxiang walked a few steps slowly under the support of Xiao Zhang, and felt that he gradually adapted to the hardness of the ground, and the phenomenon of tinnitus gradually disappeared, so he firmly broke away from Xiao Zhang's arm, strode up freely, and walked up the steps lightly, walked into the hotel hall, and did not really feel down-to-earth until he went up the escalator to the second floor and sat on the soft sofa in the VIP room.

Although he experienced the torture of sound and vibration, it only took more than an hour to complete the aerial patrol, and he also returned to the county from Pingba Township, saw a lot, and saved more time.

Qi Tianxiang picked up the teacup on the coffee table, took a small sip of tea, then put down the teacup, picked up the cigarette case and took out a cigarette to light it, took a deep breath, and then regained his calm demeanor, looked at Fang Jianshe and Liao Yong, who were sitting not far from him, and said easily: "I have seen it, I have also listened to some simple introductions, and now there is still some time, it is better to hurry up and touch the situation, which of you two will talk about it first." ”

"I'll talk about it first!" Liao Yong glanced at Fang Jianjian, and after asking for his opinion, he looked at Qi Tianxiang and said with a slight smile: "After several flights, the location of the pollution source has basically been locked, that is, we just saw several factories along the ridge in the middle of the Guishui River, where the dilution of cyanide and the recovery of waste liquid are located, and the Hongxing Chemical Plant, where the mountain flood washed away the sedimentation pond, is hidden in a low-lying depression, and it cannot be seen from a high place." Flash floods and dam collapses have stopped, and wastewater is no longer being injected into the Guishui River. ”

Liao Yong said slowly, his eyes firmly fixed on Qi Tianxiang's face, observing the change in his expression, and continued in a solemn tone: "This is not the most serious thing, according to the monitoring of the rover, the radioactive linear radiation index in the mining area has reached the second level, which belongs to the level of mild hazard, and the closer to the central area, the greater the radiation index, reaching the dangerous level." ”

Seeing that the expression on Qi Tianxiang's face was gradually grim, Liao Yong turned his face and glanced at Wang Ping, and after thinking for a while, he said cautiously: "After preliminary close observation, there is a strong radiation level in the three mining tunnels in the mining area, and there is water accumulation in the two tunnels, and there are quite a few of them. ”

"Stagnant water? What causes it? Is it out of the water, or is it a flash flood? Although Liao Yong's tone was as calm as possible, it sounded like a bolt from the blue to Qi Tianxiang's ears, and he brought up the question in his heart a little incredible, looked at Liao Yong, and then looked at Fang Jianjian, and then asked: "Will this radioactive substance dissolve in water?" Will it flow around with the river like cyanide waste? What can be done to prevent it? ”

Qi Tianxiang's eager question showed the doubts in his heart, and the panic that could not be concealed, although it was not to the point of the six gods without a master, but it was also a rare tension in the past two days. Ever since he learned that the rare metals in the mining area were radioactive, he had always felt a faint uneasiness in his heart for more than a day, and he had never heard of such radioactive materials before, and he had no experience in dealing with them. It is only from the data that this rare metal can cause great harm to the body, and even carcinogenic, close contact may be harmed by radiation, and there are no uncomfortable symptoms in the early stage, and the incubation period is long for several years or more than ten years, becoming the cause of malignant diseases of the respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract. This not only harms the surrounding ecology, but also poses a potential threat to individuals engaged in mining operations. Now the tunnel is flooded, which will make the situation more serious, and it will cause harm in the long run, like a time bomb hanging overhead, not knowing when it will explode or in what form. Qi Tianxiang's heart couldn't calm down, and he shuddered when he thought about it.

Qi Tianxiang's nervous expression seemed to be spreading with the air, infecting all the people in the VIP room, making everyone nervous, or Fang Jianjian was the first to stabilize, looking at Qi Tianxiang and said: "I consulted the experts in our hall, this rare metal does not have strong conductivity, it was buried deep under the mountain before, and it can only produce trace amounts of radiation, which belongs to the safety level, and the nature of the X-ray examination conducted by the hospital is the same, and it cannot reach this level." ”

"The mining of this mineral is basically in the form of raw ore, basically no residue residue, and is associated with graphite, rough stone and other metals, which needs to be crushed and refined in a closed container to obtain a small amount of products, and then stored in the lead irrigation for transportation, if the link is strict and rigorous, it will not produce great harm." Fang Jianshe saw Qi Tianxiang looking at himself intently, listening very carefully, knowing Qi Tianxiang's concern now, he continued: "This substance is insoluble in water, but it cannot rule out the residue of mineral powder in the water, or it may cause some harm, so the water in the tunnel can neither be discharged, nor can it be allowed to exist for a long time, it can only be used drying technology, or canned and removed for harmless treatment." ”

Seeing that Qi Tianxiang's face slowly eased, Fang Jianshe added: "Now the top priority is to seal the ore crushing, storage and transportation warehouses as soon as possible, as well as processing plants, which may cause greater harm." ”

The words of the house construction made Qi Tianxiang settle down slightly, and he also understood that what he needed to do at this time was stability, although he could not completely achieve calm and leisure, calm bearing and stable mentality, it was still completely necessary at present, which was the requirement of his position and the need to stabilize the overall situation.

After adjusting his mood, Qi Tianxiang looked at his watch, smiled slightly and said to everyone present: "These things can be put aside for a while, and it is not too late to decide after all the results come out." The top priority now is to do a good job in the reception of Minister Yao, and it is estimated that this will be soon! Are we ready to wait downstairs, it's not polite to let the guests go upstairs alone! ”
