1472. The Whip of God
Sincerely ask for recommendation votes. ****
QIN SHIOU HUGGED THE IPAD AND BEGAN TO CHECK THE NEWS, AND BUTLER RECOMMENDED HIMSELF: "DON'T READ THE REPORT, I'LL INTRODUCE IT TO YOU, I WAS IN TOKYO AT THE TIME, AND I KNOW MUCH BETTER THAN THESE SONS OF BITCHES." ”
"Say, I'll listen." Qin Shiou searched for the news and said casually.
As Butler says, the port of Tokyo collapsed, and after a small year of gestation, the mutant ship maggots finally got their way.
The Tokyo Bay Port Group was built very early, and due to the rational division of functions of the Japanese port group, six world-class large ports gathered in the small harbor, namely the Port of Tokyo, the Port of Chiba, the Port of Kawasaki, the Port of Yokohama, the Port of Kisarazu, and the Port of Yokosuka.
These ports stretch for hundreds of miles from end to end and are responsible for shipping throughout Central Japan.
The area around Tokyo Bay has been the economic and political heart of Japan for hundreds of years, and the port has been developed since the Warring States period, so the wharves here were built very early, mostly made of wood and stone, and there are few steel wharves.
This is normal, and the same is true in Canada, where steel docks are useless, and the corrosion of seawater, the attack of anaerobic bacteria, can turn a steel dock into ruins in ten years, which is not as practical as wood and stone.
But this time the Tokyo Bay port group suffered a practical loss, the incident happened half a month ago, first a wooden pier collapsed in Tokyo Bay, and then the collapse of the waves stirred up by the collapse, triggered the collapse of another pier, and the two piers collapsed in one day.
The results of the inspection soon came out, that is, the main body of the two docks was destroyed by the maggots of the ship, and from the outside it was nothing. It was full of dense nests of ship maggots.
As a result, the Port of Tokyo took the lead in closing inspections for maintenance. It doesn't really matter, there are still five ports to use in such a small area as Tokyo Bay. The pressure on shipping could be reasonably spread across the other five ports.
Sadly, when the staff in charge of port inspection conducted spot checks on the other five major ports, they found that a large number of ship maggots were also found in the wharves in these places!
At this time, the Japanese government from the central government to the coast of Tokyo Bay is all panicked, and the significance of the Tokyo Bay port group to this country is too great!
Geographically, the Tokyo Bay Port Group is located in the southern bay of Japan's main island of Honshu, surrounded by the two peninsulas of Boso and Miura, and connected to the Pacific Ocean by the Uraga Waterway.
In other words, if the bay is opened, goods transported from the Pacific Ocean can directly enter Tokyo, Kawasaki, and other places. Once sealed, you have to travel a long way by land from Fujisawa or Ohara.
According to Qin Shioucha, in the past year, the throughput capacity of the entire port cluster has reached 550 billion tons, which is second to none in the world and is the lifeline of the entire central Japan.
From an economic point of view, there are two major industrial zones on the shore of Tokyo Bay, Keihin and Keiyo, where the port cluster is located. The Keihin Industrial Belt on the west coast of Tokyo Bay includes Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kawasaki, and is home to more than 200 large factories and companies such as Nissan Motor, Ishikawa Shipbuilding, Nippon Steel Pipe, Nippon Petroleum, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries on the 5-kilometer-wide and 60-kilometer-long coastal zone.
On the Keiyo Industrial Belt on the east side of Tokyo Bay, there are two large steel mills, two large oil refineries, four petrochemical plants, and Mitsui Shipbuilding. This makes Tokyo Bay the largest base for heavy industry and chemical industries in the whole country.
As soon as the Tokyo Bay port group is closed, the daily loss can be calculated in tens of billions of dollars!
If it weren't for the tragedy of the Maine Bulldog, which attracted the attention of the people of the United States and Canada, the closure of the Tokyo Bay port group would still dominate the headlines.
Now that the whole country is rushing to repair the Tokyo Bay port complex, the prime minister and more than half of the cabinet members have moved their offices directly to the port. The best construction team in the country was deployed for repairs, and the best marine parasite experts were deployed to deal with ship maggots.
At this moment, Qin Shiou realized the strength of his Seagod Heart, and the vitality and reproduction ability of these strengthened ship maggots reached a point that frightened the experts. Japan itself is no longer able to handle them, so it has invited excellent experts from all over the world to deal with them.
At first, the Japanese government used conventional methods to deal with these ship maggots. Chemicals are injected into the wood under high pressure to kill ship maggots. But it didn't work. These ship maggots are highly resistant to poison, and chemical agents have to reach very high concentrations to kill them.
No way, the Japanese used CCA, which is currently recognized as the most effective drug in the world to deal with ship maggots, which is the next policy to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, because the main components of CCA are wood tar, chromate and copper arsenate, which can protect wood and kill ship maggots, but at the same time can also pollute the marine environment.
The Japanese government has no care to protect the ecological environment of Tokyo Bay, and now it only needs to kill these ship maggots and restore the normal operation of the port group, but sadly, this is not possible, and the CCA was effective in the initial stage, killing a number of ship maggots, and soon they became resistant......
After this incident, not only the Japanese government was afraid, but also other countries were afraid, and they suspended maritime trade with the Tokyo Bay port group one after another.
The Japanese government is also fair-minded, and after discovering the terrible maggots, they closed the ships in the port group, and all the timber ships were chopped up and burned to ensure that the super-strong ship maggots would not break away from the Tokyo Bay and spread.
Fortunately, there are very few wooden ships in recent years, and the Tokyo Bay port group is an industrial port area, and the steel giants of 1,000 tons or even more than 10,000 tons come and go, which limits the spread of new ship maggots.
The European media also gave these ship maggots a name because they were as long and tough as whips, so they were called 'God's Whip', meaning that God used them to punish humans.
The name Whip of God has only appeared twice in the history of Europeans, the first time to the killer Hun king Attila, the second time to the Mongol iron horsemen under Kublai Khan, and now the third time to a group of small sea creatures.
After reading the introduction, Qin Shiou was amazed: "These ship maggots are really terrifying." ”
Uncle Hei nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "The Japanese are so unfortunate, they have suffered a lot of losses this time, the port group is still closed, and I don't know when it will be opened." ”
Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can only bless God to bless them, and I hope he can take back that whip as soon as possible." Let's go, it's time for us to get ready for dinner. ”
Butler couldn't eat steamed sausages for dinner, thinking that the seasoning in the sausages was too strong and affected his health.
Qin Shiou eats with relish, and the sausages poured out of the local pork are more fragrant and chewy, as for the impact on health? He thinks that the seasoning is much greener than the big ma, and Butler is afraid that it will affect his health when he smokes the big ma. (To be continued......)
