When the accurate news came, Qi Tianxiang and their medium-sized bus had just gotten on the highway not long after the call from Fang Jianshe came in. Qi Tianxiang put down the book he was holding, took a look at the watch on his wrist, and glanced at Zhou Tong before picking up the phone from Fang Jianjian.

According to the time calculation, it seems that Fang Jianshe has just arrived in Guishui County, and after a preliminary understanding of the situation, he called to report: "Our group has just arrived in Guishui County, and has not yet arrived at the scene of the accident. From last night to the morning, the torrential rain has been falling, and now the rain is lighter, but the road into the mountain is still not passable, and Sanyin City has organized fire officers and soldiers to grope into the mountain in advance, and has arrived at the scene of the accident. The problem now is that the rescue equipment is not in place, and the large-scale rescue and excavation work cannot be carried out, but the existing equipment and the warehouses where semi-finished products are stored are controlled as much as possible, so as not to further expand the situation. ”

"Deputy Director Liu, who arrived early, has already conveyed your instructions to the party and government leaders of Shanyin City and Guishui County. Looking at it now, it is not optimistic. "The voice of the house construction is rapid and anxious, it seems to be going somewhere, the wheezing sound is very thick and heavy, but the tone is very clear, "Because it is located in a deep mountainous area, it is relatively hidden, and it was originally thought that the sedimentation tank of just a cyanide plant has collapsed, and now the implementation of the situation is that the cyanide has been washed away by flash floods in the four nearby factories, and the surrounding small mining industrial wastewater and waste residue have been washed into the river due to heavy rain, the river water pollution is more serious, and the cyanide component has been detected in the Guishui River, The Lingshui County Environmental Monitoring Station in the middle reaches of the Qingshui River has just reported that cyanide has also been detected in the water they have tested, and it is currently in a polluted state. Cities in the entire basin of the Guishui River and Qingshui River have been notified to pay close attention to the monitoring of water bodies and stop taking water from these two rivers, and the water plants along the route have completely stopped taking water. ”

Housing construction quickly reported, because there are more aspects involved, and it is more complicated, so it can only pick up the important ones, which is inevitably a little confusing, and it is not very clear.

Through careful listening, Qi Tianxiang still understood, and quickly sorted out the context, first adjusted his emotions first, and then calmly said to Fang Jianjian: "Don't worry, no matter how the situation develops, after all, it has come to an end, and there is no possibility of further deterioration, this is the best result at present." Now the most important thing is to clear the road, let vehicles and equipment into the mountain, minimize the harm, health, epidemic prevention and other departments to enter the working state as soon as possible, and water conservancy, forestry and other departments, to deal with water pollution, this is a big deal. ”

Hearing the calm wheezing sound of the opposite building, Qi Tianxiang asked with concern, "How are the casualties?" Is there a basic understanding now? ”

There was a gentle dry cough on the phone, it seemed that Fang Jianshe felt a little embarrassed, patronized the report of the disaster and disposal, and actually forgot the primary reporting order of safety accidents, casualties, property losses, and then the current situation and handling of the accident. After a short pause, the eager voice of Fang Jianshe sounded again.

"Due to the heavy rain in the past few days, the small factories and mines in the mountains have been suspended, and the workers have withdrawn to wait outside the mountains. Hongxing Factory, that is, a small factory that had an accident, only one worker on duty at night was taking care of it, and it was buried in the shed when the flash flood came down, and it is still being rescued, and it is estimated that the situation is not optimistic. In addition, other small factories and mines have not yet reported casualties. ”

"This is very good, we must pay close attention to the occurrence of secondary disasters after the landslide, this point must be clearly explained to the firefighters who are in the front line of rescue, and when the situation is not very clear, we must pay attention to our own safety." Qi Tianxiang said seriously about the construction of the house, and then felt that these requirements should be reminded to the Shanyin Municipal Government, so he eased his tone, and then said: "Such a requirement should not only be paid attention to by the firefighters, but also by all the personnel involved in the handling of the disaster, and there should be no casualties, which is the minimum requirement." ”

Qi Tianxiang said, listening to the quiet voice on the other side of the phone, knowing that Fang Jianshe was listening carefully, he said with concern: "The one that is needed now is to control the water, and the other is to go deep into the mountainous areas to solve the source problem. In addition, you also have to pay attention to your body, don't be in front of everything, your heart is not good, you can't be careless at this time, this is what I ask you. ”

"Can you still think of me at this time?" Fang Jianshe was obviously surprised, and after a short pause, he said slowly: "Don't worry! I'll pay attention, I haven't done what you told me, I'll finish it. ”

Hanging up the phone, Qi Tianxiang pondered for a moment, shook his head at Zhou Tong and said, "The situation is not optimistic!" Watershed pollution, which is rare in the country! The life of nearly 10 million people is not a trivial matter! ”

"Yes! It's okay to skip food, but you can't last a few days without water, and once a panic is formed, a water grabber war is set off everywhere, and the impact is too great. Zhou Tong looked at Qi Tianxiang and said with emotion: "But don't worry too much, although it is the pollution of the whole basin, after all, it is only the two basins of Guishui River and Qingshui River in our province, although there are several counties in the Qingshui River Basin, but the biggest problem is Qinghe City, the main water intake is mainly them, most of the people in the two basins still rely on well water to solve the problem, as long as the big city does not have a big water shortage problem, time can alleviate many problems." ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Zhou Tong deeply, a trace of warmth swelled in his heart, knowing that he was relieving himself and deliberately decompressing himself, so he said with a wry smile: "What you said is right, time can solve many problems, as long as the source is controlled and the problem of pollution sources is solved, several reservoirs in the upper reaches of the Guishui River are opened to release water, and several water sources around the Qingshui River are injected with water at the same time, which can bring the polluted water into the Yellow River through the basin and eventually flow into the sea." These problems can be solved in a few days, but the pollution has not been eliminated, these harmful substances have not been transformed, and eventually they will still endanger our own lives. ”

Zhou Tong saw that Qi Tianxiang's brows were still tightly locked, so he thought for a moment, and then straightened the book that Qi Tianxiang put on his lap, and said slowly: "The book you are reading may have told you that the hazards caused by cyanide pollution, small papermaking, small smelting, small coking, and small electrolysis, these hazards also threaten the land, water and air on which we depend for survival at all times. ”

"This pollution accident is sudden, but these polluting enterprises have existed for a long time before this, and wastewater, waste residue, and waste gas are not produced every day and endanger our lives?" Zhou Tong also seemed to be a little excited, but quickly controlled his emotions, and said calmly: "I also read some information just now, in recent years, the incidence of blood diseases and digestive system cancer in Guishui County has shown an upward trend every year, not only in Guishui County, but also in Deqing City, under the jurisdiction of Haidong City, the incidence of these two diseases is also high, and the reason for this cannot be entirely blamed on mercury plate alchemy and cyanide extraction technology, but it cannot be said that there are no factors at all." In recent years, Haidong Gold Group has indeed done a lot of work in slag recycling and wastewater treatment, and the results are also remarkable, but after land pollution and environmental damage, how can the ecological restoration be so fast, and it will be basically eliminated in 30 or 50 years, which is already good. ”

"The destruction of one generation, the harm caused, it takes one or two generations, or even three generations, to pay the price, I really don't know if we are wise or stupid. Coal, gold, and other metal minerals formed over hundreds of millions of years, or tens of millions of years, do they have to be dug up in just a few decades? Can't you just leave a little bit for future generations? Our ancients still had the wisdom of 'leaving the land for future generations to cultivate', but haven't we modern people thought about future generations at all? When will this short-sighted behavior of large-scale industrial mining and small workshop excavation to make a good environment fragmented and devastated? ”

Qi Tianxiang was completely stimulated by Zhou Tong's words, thinking of his own responsibility, but even more thinking of the weakness and powerlessness of his own strength, he couldn't help but feel sad secretly, but there was no better way than to be angry, looking at Zhou Tong's eyes, he also looked powerless and helpless. Such a problem has been around for a long time, relying on its own strength, not only is it difficult to change, but it is even possible for the sake of economic development, or accommodating the needs of local survival and development, but also acquiescence and connivance, these are real problems, the development model does not change, the idea of getting rich or developing solely by resource development does not change, and even the traditional mindset of relying on the mountains does not change, any measures and means are just drinking water to quench thirst, and what can be obtained in the end can only be a bunch of numbers, and the deteriorating environment, and polluted air and water.

Looking at Zhou Tong, who was silently looking at him, Qi Tianxiang didn't know how to continue. In fact, in Zhou Tong's keen eyes, Qi Tianxiang knew very well that he couldn't hide anything at all, and he didn't need to say anything, to a large extent, he understood it as well as himself, or understood it better than himself, but he was just between his own status as the governor and didn't want to say it directly.

Subtlety is also a virtue in many cases, and this is very clear and well done.
