The two steps of washing gold and burning plates, which cause fatal damage to the environment, are also two steps for Guiyu people to make huge profits.

Washing gold refers to washing out the gold inside the core board with concentrated acid, while burning the plate is to throw the plastic plate into the charcoal furnace for incineration to obtain the copper inside.

Both produce a large amount of smoke during operation, which contains highly toxic carcinogens such as diogenes and lead.

The gold-laundering workshop was not accessible at all, and the smoke was billowing inside, and Sisi felt unbearable chest tightness and headache and nausea after staying in it for a minute.

Sisi and the three of them dressed up as outsiders who came here for tourism, probably because they were dressed up in fashion and young, and the locals did not reject them much, and some questions would be happy to be answered.

A male gold washing worker said to Sisi: "This is hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and that is sulfuric acid, use a basin, put the chip in it, mix it with sulfuric acid, put it on the fire to burn, burn the plastic, and then use pickling one by one, the metal inside can be washed out, some are copper, some are iron, and finally dissolved with nitric acid, and then there are two processes, you can precipitate gold powder." ”

"Is it gold?" Sisi asked, feigning surprise.

The male worker grinned and showed black teeth, which are a sign of the Guiyu people, whether they are bosses or migrant workers, their teeth are black.

"It's gold, and this can be earned."

The man showed an envious look, he looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention here, he said mysteriously: "Let me tell you, our boss's luck is very good, a container of goods he brought a few days ago, which is full of old electrical appliances, and they are all precious metals when they are washed, and he can earn a million yuan in that box, tsk, and make a fortune." ”

"Is there anything else in this?" Sisi asked.

It is still very advantageous to be beautiful, and the man is very enthusiastic about Sisi, and almost answers all questions.

"That's a big deal, I heard that when the boss went to buy foreign garbage (electronic waste shipped from abroad), he could only open the door and take a few looks, if he was lucky, it was full of electrical appliances, then he would make a fortune, if he was unlucky, it would be all plastic, then it would be a loss, like my boss he made a fortune this time, all electrical appliances, and old computers."

The man has been working in Guiyu for many years, and he has eaten the water here very thoroughly, and he talks eloquently about Sisi.

"Like the TV has the most copper and iron, but the most valuable thing is the computer, we don't have that thing, there are more foreigners, there is a lot of gold in this foreign thing, and it is all gold when it is washed, but it can make money."

Sisi wanted to ask some more questions while the iron was hot, when a man about forty years old walked over with a suspicious face.

"Lao Chen, what are you doing? I don't want to make any money! ”

"What are you doing here? Hey, what are you going to do with a camera? Don't go yet! ”

The middle-aged man blasted the three of Sisi out with a straight face, but the boss had explained that he couldn't let strangers enter the workshop.

The gold-washing man made a grimace at Sisi, and his yellow face wrinkled together, like an air-dried orange, which was sad to look at.

"Leizi, are you all done?" Sisi Chong Shi Lei asked.

"I took a photo, I could have taken a few more, but it's a pity." Shi Lei said regretfully.

Zhang Jie kept fanning the wind with her hands, and said uncomfortably: "I'm about to smoke to death, I can't stand those cigarettes for a minute, I really don't know how they work?" How many years can you do it? Sky! ”

Zhang Jie was talking about the man who washed the gold just now, and he said that he had been a gold launder for three years.

"Ignorance and ignorance, they don't know that these jobs are toxic, and the wages here are higher than in other factories, so they grit their teeth and endure it in order to make more money." Sisi sighed.

Like the gold washing man just now, not only he is doing it here, but his whole family is here, including his wife and children, and his youngest son is still in infancy, but his wife still carries her son on her back every day to disassemble the plastic plate, doing the first step of the most primitive work.

"That's the easiest and cleanest, although the money is a little less, but there is no way!" The gold-laundering man was a little regretful.

No one realizes how much damage this e-waste can cause to the human body, especially children, not even the children's own parents.

Most of these operators have symptoms of poisoning, such as black teeth, which is the most obvious appearance, as well as emaciation, yellowish complexion, etc.

Especially those workers who wash gold and burn plates, their body damage is the most serious, like the previous gold washing man lamented that his strength is getting smaller and smaller, and he will have to go back to his hometown to retire after a few years of saving enough money.

Obviously, this man is only in his thirties, and he should be the most energetic time for the most man, but he is already thinking about pension.

There are many, many more situations like these in Guiyu Town, and the three of them have taken a lot of photos these days by taking various opportunities.

But the further back they go, the harder it becomes for them to do their job, because the owners or the people in charge of these workshops are beginning to wonder if they are going to stay in their garbage-only town for so many days.

And these people are still asking questions, shooting and shooting, there must be a problem!

So all three of them were driven out after five days, and on the sixth day Sisi and they were stopped at the entrance of the town by the locals, and they were not allowed to enter even if they said good things.

Fortunately, the photos they were supposed to take were almost finished, and the soil and water in the town had been sampled, so the work was relatively successful.

"Sisi, why are you here?" A surprised male voice came.

Sisi, who was about to get into the car, turned around to look, but saw Tang Qiubai, who was in a suit and leather shoes, rolled down the window to greet her.

Tang Qiubai's change is not his wife, except for a little fortune, his eyebrows and eyes are a little more domineering and confident, it seems that he has mixed quite well in the past few years.

It's just that what did he come to Guiyu Town for?

Sisi put aside her doubts, and said with a reluctant smile: "I'm here to play, are you also here to play?" ”

Tang Qiubai obviously didn't believe Sisi's words, he would come here to play because of his brain disease, he raised his eyes and saw the camera in Shi Lei's hand, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he thought of Sisi's green home.

"Sisi doesn't want to do Guiyu Town, right?" Tang Qiubai asked pretending not to care.

"Where? I'm just here to have fun, I'm going back, goodbye. Sisi said goodbye to Tang Qiubai.

Looking at the shadow of Sisi's car in the distance, the corners of Tang Qiubai's lips hooked slightly, He Sisi, although you don't like me, I know you very well, and your eyes will wander as soon as you lie.

Tang Qiubai smiled and sank his face, it seemed that the green home had noticed this, but there was a little trouble. (To be continued.) )

ps：ps； Lao Yang would like to thank the two enthusiastic readers of Phantom Feather Liuli and Nuo Cat, reminding Lao Yang of a common-sense mistake, that is, Sisi drank longan in chicken soup during the fetal rearing, which is not right, because longan is alive blood, pregnant women can not eat, easy to cause miscarriage, Lao Yang hereby apologizes to everyone, and also reminds some girls who are pregnant or preparing to get pregnant, do not make this kind of common-sense mistake like Lao Yang! Finally, thank you again for the lovely girls of Phantom Feather Ruri and Nono Cat!
