"RX is highly toxic, as toxic as potassium cyanide!"

"Once the RX leaks, Yiping City will have a tragedy 100 times worse than Bhopal, India!"

"Foreign RX projects must be at least 100 kilometers away from residential areas!"

"The Daqin RX project is a time bomb built around the people of Yiping!"

“……”

The three "popular science" activities organized by Blue Sky set off an uproar in Yiping City, and for a while, there were many discussions on the streets and alleys, and the topics were all around the Daqin RX project being built on the outskirts of Yiping.

Gusev and Ekin, who have a talent for incitement, showed a large number of horrific photographs on the podium and labelled them as an accident at a certain chemical plant. Among them, it naturally includes real pictures such as the pesticide factory accident in Bhopal, India, and some are far-fetched, and even mixed with footage from many foreign movies. However, the audience at the scene did not have the ability to discriminate, and when they saw the blue-eyed and high-nosed foreigners, they instinctively chose to trust. When I heard that these two foreigners were from the famous Blue Sky Organization, everyone was even more convinced. Since everyone in the world has said that RX is toxic, can it still be fake?

Of course, Yiping is not without understanding people, for example, Peng Zhiting, an engineer from the Science and Technology Bureau, is one of them, after listening to the first "popular science", he came to Xu Yang's office with a frown, and said to Xu Yang: "Director Xu, what is the origin of this Gusev and Ekin, are they really experts from the Blue Sky Organization?" ”

"How can this be fake?" Xu Yang said, "I specifically checked on the website of the Blue Sky organization, and their photos are completely correct. What, what's the problem? ”

Peng Zhiting said: "The problem is very big, they said in their speech that RX is highly toxic, which is complete nonsense. I came from a chemical engineering background. RX is not highly toxic, and it is only a mildly toxic chemical in the national dangerous goods classification, which is about the same level as gasoline, so how can it be compared with cyanide? ”

Xu Yang nodded and said, "Well, I also know something about this situation." Maybe it's because the West's safety standards are higher than ours. ”

"It can't be." Peng Zhiting said, "I have checked the standards of the European Union and the United States, and RX is not a high-level dangerous goods in these countries, which is common sense in chemistry." ”

"Peng Gong, this question is not important, even if Gusev is a family, it is still worth advocating to promote environmental awareness, right? Even if RX isn't particularly toxic. We should also look at this project with a precautionary attitude, right? Xu Yang told Peng Zhiting a big truth.

"But ......" Peng Zhiting was a little confused by Xu Yang, it is a three-point poison, and if the chemical product is completely safe and non-toxic, it must be impossible, but it is a bit toxic and comparable to potassium cyanide, and the difference between the two is too great. How can it be mixed up? He was a little puzzled, it is said that Director Xu is also an engineering student who graduated from a prestigious school. It should be some scientific literacy, how can you speak in an official tone?

Xu Yang understands better than anyone else in his heart, but he won't tell others what he thinks. He smiled faintly and said to Peng Zhiting: "Peng Gong, let's not hide it, please ask the Blue Sky Organization to do science popularization activities." It was personally arranged by Secretary Guo of the Municipal Party Committee, what else do you think we can do? Even if what they say is a little alarmist, it can be regarded as a wake-up call, and it is beneficial and harmless. Through such activities, the enthusiasm of the masses for science can be stimulated. Why should we object? ”

How can this be beneficial or harmless? Now there is a lot of rumors outside, all of them say that they want to block the construction of the Daqin RX project, if something really happens, the impact will be too great. Peng Zhiting argued.

Xu Yang said: "Peng Gong, don't worry, this problem does not exist at all, such a large enterprise as Daqin Group, can this crisis public relations not be done?" Do we need to worry about it? ”

"Uh......" Peng Zhiting was speechless. When Xu Yang said this, he obviously refused to intervene in this matter, which is very different from Xu Yang's performance since he came to work in the Science and Technology Bureau. In Peng Zhiting's impression, although Xu Yang is a little arrogant on weekdays, he is still quite positive at work, and it is really abnormal to behave so indifferently in this matter. However, considering that it involves a well-known international organization such as Blue Sky, it is understandable that Xu Yang has such a performance.

Peng Zhiting left in a huff, Xu Yang sent him out of the office, looked at his back, and a sneer appeared on his face.

With Xu Yang's knowledge background, how could he not know that Gusev and Ejin were talking nonsense, and he couldn't imagine what kind of impact this nonsense would bring. Gusev and Ejin always thought that Xu Yang cooperated with them so actively because they promised him the opportunity to go abroad, but they didn't know that while they were using Xu Yang, Xu Yang was also using them.

The RX project in Yiping City is affiliated with the Daqin Group, and Xu Yang will not forget that it was Qin Hai who beat him in a barbaric way at the beginning, and also let the base drive him out, basically ruining his future. Of course, he didn't feel that he was to blame for falling into such a result, he still thinks that Tranquility and Qin Hai are not a good match to this day, and Qin Hai is not responsible for being able to beat people, but let him carry the punishment, which is completely bullying.

With the gap between Qin Hai and Xu Yang, it is difficult for Xu Yang to take revenge, so his resentment against Qin Hai has always been accumulated in Xu Yang's heart, and he is depressed. Who would have thought that a blue sky organization that fell from the sky actually gave Xu Yang a chance to vent, which made Xu Yang overjoyed. Yiping's Daqin RX project has been completed in construction, and tens of billions of yuan of construction funds have been invested, if there is a sudden change at this time to abort this project, Daqin Group will be hit hard, which is enough to make Xu Yang breathe a bad breath.

It was precisely because of this idea that Xu Yang agreed to cooperate with Gusev's work without saying a word, he helped Gusev persuade Guo Shuqing, and under the banner of Guo Shuqing, he helped Gusev and them arrange large-scale speech activities. Things did not exceed Xu Yang's expectations at all, and Gu Shefu's sensational hype succeeded in creating panic among the citizens of Yiping, and at this time, as long as one person raised his arms and shouted, the citizens who did not know the truth would collectively take to the streets to put pressure on the Daqin RX project.

Xu Yang knew that he didn't need to operate this matter, Gu Xie Fu and they were not here to show love, the purpose of their trip was to stop Daqin's RX project, so this kind of thing to fan the flames behind their backs, Gu Xie Fu They would definitely do it, and it was definitely more professional than him Xu Yang. What he has to do is to remain silent at the level of the government and wait for the storm to rise.

Gusev did not disappoint Xu Yang, and less than two days after several speeches, an organization called "Save Yiping" suddenly appeared on the Internet, and began to call on the people of Yiping to petition the city government to stop the construction of the Daqin RX project. I don't know what the reason is, but this incident spread throughout Yiping City overnight, especially among the cadres of the organs, causing a strong reaction. The phones of the Science and Technology Bureau, the Environmental Protection Bureau, the National Development and Reform Commission and other units began to ring non-stop, and people from all walks of life came to inquire about relevant matters. Guo Shuqing naturally heard about this, and he summoned Xu Yang as soon as possible to learn about the specific situation from him.

"There is also some controversy about the toxicity of RX." Xu Yang, who has a background in engineering, knows that there must be a basis for what he says, he said: "Generally speaking, the statements on behalf of chemical companies insist that RX is low toxicity, and that RX devices are not high-voltage devices, and that safety performance is very high, and there will be no explosions and other vicious accidents." The environmental concern side said that the toxicity of RX cannot be ignored, and the production equipment of RX is not absolutely reliable, and these people believe that even civilian boilers with an operating pressure of only 2 to 3 atmospheres are at risk of explosion, not to mention the RX synthesis device with an operating pressure of up to 30 atmospheres, so it is irresponsible to say that RX is absolutely safe. ”

The words were said without leakage, but after thinking about it carefully, you could hear Xu Yang's tendencies. He boiled down the two views to representing different interests, implying that those who spoke well for RX were bought by chemical companies, and those who opposed RX were the ones who truly stood for justice. When talking about the toxicity of RX and the risks of the device, he cleverly interprets the opposing side's views as "absolutely non-toxic" and "absolutely safe", and then refutes them, which at first glance does sound very reasonable.

Guo Shuqing didn't know the grievances between Xu Yang and Qin Hai, but Xu Yang was speaking from the standpoint of the Science and Technology Bureau, so he didn't deliberately ponder the flaws in Xu Yang's words. Hearing Xu Yang say this, he also muttered in his heart, and he asked: "How far is the RX project of Daqin Group from Yiping City?" ”

"Less than 12 kilometers." Xu Yang did his homework and replied without blinking.

"I've heard that foreign RX installations must be more than 100 kilometers away from the city?" Guo Shuqing asked again.

"That's what Mr. Gusev said in his speech." Xu Yang said in a vain manner.

"How did you set up the project in the first place!" Guo Shuqing said angrily, "Hasn't the environmental protection department conducted an audit?" ”

Xu Yang excused the Environmental Protection Bureau: "The comrades in the environmental protection department probably also consider it from the perspective of developing Yiping's economy, and it is not easy for them. ”

"Ridiculous!" Xu Yang's words succeeded in arousing Guo Shuqing's anger. Xu Yang said that the environmental protection bureau is based on the needs of economic development, in fact, it is implying that this kind of audit is not qualified at all, which is called "famous powder but black", which seems to be helping the environmental protection bureau, but in fact it is falling into the ground.

"We must convene a Standing Committee immediately to discuss this issue. Xiao Xu, as a representative of the Science and Technology Bureau, you are going to talk to the Standing Committee members about this issue. Guo Shuqing commanded. (To be continued......)
