Chapter 786: Who Did You Listen To?
"Mr. Gusev, Mr. Ekin, as far as we know, you held several lectures in Yiping City a few days ago, and at the lectures, you said that RX is a highly toxic chemical, is there such a thing?"
Qin Hai was the first to speak, he didn't go around in any circles, and asked the question directly.
The scene is specially equipped with an interpreter, who can translate the speech of the Daqin Group into English and speak it to Gusev and them, and can also translate Gusev's answer into Chinese and speak it to the personnel of Daqin Group and the entire audience. The interpreter adopts the method of simultaneous interpretation, which saves the time of the two sides to talk.
Hearing Qin Hai's question, Gu Shev could only answer honestly: "Yes, this is our point of view. ”
"The international chemical industry is recognized as a low-toxicity chemical. At a concentration of 100 milligrams per cubic meter in the air, a healthy person's breathing for five minutes will only cause headaches and dizziness. Even if the concentration reaches 500 milligrams per cubic meter, it does not lead to life-threatening within five minutes. RX is soluble in water, drinking its 1% aqueous solution within 100 grams, there is no fatal danger. Excuse me, on what basis do you call this chemical a highly toxic chemical? ”
Xia Yangjie stood up and asked Gu Shefu in a straight voice.
"This is probably a difference in our understanding of the concept of poison, right?" Gusev said.
"Excuse me, what criteria is your understanding based on? Is it the World Health Organization, or the European Union, or the Chemical Industry Association? Xia Yangjie asked aggressively.
"Yes......" Gusev hesitated, he had previously told the citizens of Yiping that they spoke according to WHO and EU standards, but this time, he did not dare to say this again. He believes. If he dares to say this, the other party will definitely let him quote the number of the international standard, and he clearly saw that a browser window has been clicked on the big screen, which is ready to search for the relevant standard on the Internet at any time.
"We have our own standards." Ekintigusev replied, "Our standards are higher than those of the WHO. ”
Qin Hai stood up and sneered, "According to your standards. Even gasoline is a highly toxic chemical because the chemical properties of gasoline are similar to RX. Ladies and gentlemen, do you think it makes sense to include gasoline in the category of highly toxic chemicals? ”
The last sentence, he said to the audience, immediately caused a burst of laughter. That's right, gasoline is also somewhat toxic, and even those who claim to like the smell of gasoline can have a headache after smelling it for a long time. But this substance is called a highly toxic chemical. It's too subversive of everyone's three views. If RX is just gasoline, why do you need to go out of your way?
Gu Shefu was silent, and at this time, it was obviously more rational to be silent than silent, because he really had no hard reason to refute the words of Qin Hai, Xia Yangjie and others.
Xia Yangjie did not let them go, he continued: "Also, it is said that you told everyone that the RX device is very prone to explosion. Once it explodes, it will bring devastating results. According to our statistics. There are more than 200 RX units of more than 100,000 tons and 10 million tons of RX plants in the world. ”
"I admit it, no." Gusev replied. "But just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean there won't be an explosion, after all, the risk of it exploding is still very high."
Of course, Xia Yangjie would not leave such a big flaw for Gu Xie Fu to catch, he made a gesture to Yu Lihong beside him, and Yu Lihong stood up. "Mr. Gusev, who told you that there is a great risk of an explosion at the RX device?" RX plants are all ordinary low-pressure equipment, and the design of today's RX plants is very mature, with a large margin reserved, and its explosion risk is ranked low among various chemical plants. I can cite the literature of Cox, Plama and others, who are all well-known safety technologists in the chemical industry, and I don't think you will be unfamiliar with them, right? ”
Speaking of which, the operator displayed the PDF text of several documents on the big screen, although most of the audience could not read English, let alone read this highly professional literature, but seeing such a text, everyone still had a little more trust in Li Hong's words.
Gusev fell silent again, he had long known that if he wanted to debate face-to-face with the people of the Great Qin Group, he would definitely lose. What he and Ekin's words these days simply don't stand up to scrutiny, unless he plays a lie in public and resolutely refuses to admit the evidence presented by the other party. But the people in the audience are not fools, will they sit back and watch him cheat?
At this time, Chen Lusha, who was sitting in the front row of the stage, stood up and said loudly to Yu Lihong on the stage:
"However, Chief Engineer Yu, no matter what safety experts say, the RX device is still risky, right?"
Yu Lihong nodded and replied: "Of course, there will be risks in any chemical plant, but there is a difference in the size of the risk. ”
Chen Lusha said: "In this case, then what is wrong with us opposing Daqin Group's construction of the RX project on the outskirts of Yiping? ”
Qin Hai took over and said, "This lady, let me answer your question." When we Daqin Group built the Yiping RX project, we had fully estimated the risk of the installation, so we built the installation far away from the urban area, set up a safety zone around it, and equipped it with various anti-chemical means, the purpose is to avoid the situation in case. Even if there is a serious explosion or leakage in the Daqin RX project at the lowest probability, the pollution will be limited to a safe area and will not affect the environment of Yiping urban area. ”
"However, foreign RX installations are more than 100 kilometers away from the city, why is Daqin's RX project so close to the city?" Chen Lusha threw out the most critical question.
Qin Hai smiled, he looked at Chen Lusha, and asked calmly: "This lady, who did you hear say that foreign RX devices are more than 100 kilometers away from the city?" ”
"Isn't that the international norm?" Chen Lusha said as a matter of course. After Gu Sev's brainwashing, Chen Lusha has taken this as a matter of course, and even if Gu Shev and others have lost in the previous debate, Chen Lusha has not doubted the authenticity of the so-called "100 kilometers principle".
Of course, Qin Hai knew that this was the point of view peddled by Gusev and others, and he was also fully prepared to expose this lie here. Compared with the toxicity of RX, the safety of the device and other issues, the site selection is easier for ordinary people to understand, if you can give Gu Shev and others a head-on blow on this issue, the effect is far better than the data and literature cited by Xia Yangjie and Yu Lihong.
Hearing Chen Lusha say this, Qin Hai pointed at Gu Shefu and Ejin with his finger and asked, "Madam, did these two tell you that the RX device must be 100 kilometers away from the city?" ”
Chen Lusha hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It seems that they were the first to say this...... There are others who say the same. ”
"The other people you mentioned probably have this kind of understanding after listening to them, right?" Qin Hai asked.
Chen Lusha retorted: "Mr. Qin, isn't this the truth? ”
Qin Haidao: "Whether it's a fact or not, it's actually very easy to verify." Let me start with a question for you, did you know that Singapore is the world's largest producer of RX products? ”
"This ...... I've heard that. Chen Lusha replied, she paused, and added: "By the way, I remember that Mr. Gushev introduced him, he said that although Singapore is a country with a very developed petrochemical industry, they are very concerned about the safety of the petrochemical industry, and their petrochemical plant is not built in the city at all, but on an island." ”
"That's right, that island is called Jurong Island, and I've visited it before." "However, the island is not 100 kilometers away from the main city of Singapore, because if it is 100 kilometers away, the island will go to Indonesia." In fact, Jurong Island is separated from the main city of Singapore by a narrow sea trench and less than five kilometres from the main city. ”
"It can't be!" Chen Lusha screamed. These days, the concept of 100 kilometers has taken root in her heart, and she has told her friends more than once about how it is abroad, Qin Hai suddenly told her that this island is less than five kilometers away from the main city of Singapore, which completely subverts her perception and makes her acceptable.
However, in her heart, there was a faint feeling of unease. A lot of things that are taken for granted can't stand up to scrutiny. Although she had never been to Singapore, she at least knew that Singapore was a city-state, and the area of the whole country was not even as large as a county below Yiping, how could such a small country build a chemical plant 100 kilometers away?
At this time, Qin Ling, who was sitting on the rostrum, suddenly stood up, she walked slowly to the front of the stage, waved her hand to everyone, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I'm Qin Ling, do you remember me?" ”
This ordinary greeting immediately mobilized the atmosphere of the audience. In this square, 2 out of 10 people may have heard of Qin Hai's name, but at least 9 people know about the singer Qin Ling. Hearing Qin Ling greet everyone, everyone on the field was in a hurry, some shouted "Qin Ling, I love you", some waved desperately to try to attract Qin Ling's attention, many people forgot that they were here to listen to the debate, and their love for idols far exceeded their interest in RX.
Qin Ling was no longer surprised by this kind of scene, she waved her hand to everyone, and then said:
"It's a pleasure to be here in Yiping. However, I am here today to share with you some of my observations. Just now, this sister in the audience said that she doesn't believe that Singapore's petrochemical plant is so close to the city, and I happened to be in Singapore recently to participate in a performance, I would like to share with you a video of the performance, are you interested?
