Chapter 244: Contaminated Fish
Without waiting for Daiko's answer, Horii explained: "Nuclear waste refers to waste that has been used in nuclear production, processing and nuclear reactors but is still radioactive, and these radioactive materials are more harmful, and the decay time can even be as long as tens of thousands of years. ”
After speaking, he sighed: "Unless there is a major breakthrough in science and technology, only solar energy is the most ideal clean energy, and it is also the way to have the least impact on the human environment." ”
Horii only mentions that this will have the least impact on the human environment, but they all know that the impact of this project on the Lightning people is so great that it makes it impossible for the Lightning people to survive, and even mutated into Gazot.
But this crisis is not enough to make humanity give up the promising space power generation plan, because the power generation plan is beneficial to humans and only Gazot, and this successful monster annihilation war should increase a lot of confidence in dealing with monsters for humans.
Horii was about to say something, but Norui's voice came from his helmet: "Team Horii, there is an ocean-going fishing vessel in the port of the R2 area, and they claim to have caught a large number of strange creatures in the ocean, and the relevant information has been sent to your PDI." ”
"Understood!" Horii reached out and took out the PDI on his waist, and when he opened it, a small screen showed strangely shaped creatures, with fish features but a slender tail with a tail fin, a bulge on the abdomen that resembled hands and feet, and fish scales on the back that were almost connected to each other, looking like shells.
"What is this?" Horii looked at this four in amazement, although he is not a biology major, but he knows the basis of biological classification, but this thing is like a bunch of parts of various species forcibly put together... Monster.
Da Gu said uncertainly: "Mutation? ”
"It's changed so much, it's almost a different species." Horii looked over and over at these pictures, which should have been taken by his mobile phone, all of them were monsters like this, which could not be classified at all, and the strange shape was so strange that people couldn't believe that they were earth creatures.
Because of this incident, Oko and Horii, who were supposed to return to the base, had to drive the drum to the port in the R2 area to recover these strange mutated creatures and bring them back to the base for research and analysis to see what the cause was.
When the two of them arrived at the port, they saw a group of people around the dock from a distance, and the people on the outer layer saw the car of the victory team and immediately shouted: "It's the victory team!" ”
"The Victory Team is coming!"
When the two got out of the car, the crowd had automatically separated into a road, revealing a large bucket surrounded inside, Horii leaned over to take a look, there were more than a dozen strange fish swimming in the photo, no fins but able to swim up and down, relying on the tail and...
Before Horii could take a clear look, a fisherman shouted, "What the hell is this?" ”
"This... We need to look into it. Dagu stared at a large number of curious eyes, trying to maintain order, and wanted the crowd of onlookers to disperse, but his shouting had no effect, but because of the arrival of the victory team, more people came to watch, making Dagu feel as if he had become a monkey in a zoo.
As soon as Horii turned on the instrument, a reading began to rise, which made Horii's face change suddenly, and he hurriedly adjusted the instrument and re-measured, and the reading was still the same, so that Horii immediately turned around and shouted, "Everyone, disperse, these fish are very radioactive." ”
radioactivity
A simple word, more useful than Dagu shouting for a long time, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, people from other countries may not be very sensitive, people in this small place are too familiar with this word, and there is also a deep psychological shadow.
"Team Horii, you still have a way." Dagu was about to praise Horii a few words, when he saw Horii's serious expression, his smile suddenly disappeared, and he asked in a low voice, "It can't be true, right?" ”
"Of course it's true," Horii said as he adjusted the equipment in his hand, "These fish have a much higher radiation dose than the radiology department of the hospital, and there must be a strong radioactive source near where they live, so they mutated like this." ”
After completing the initial examination, Horii and Daiko found the owner of the fishing boat and asked where they had caught these strange fish, but the forty-year-old owner looked like he was fifty or sixty years old due to the wind and sun all year round, and recalled the situation at that time.
"When there was a sudden earthquake on the bottom of the sea, we quickly collected the nets, and when the earthquake passed, we found these strange fish on the deck, because we didn't know what they were, so we put them together separately and notified you when we got to the shore."
"Where?" As he spoke, Dagu took out a chart and asked the owner to mark the range of the net from the time it was lowered to the time it was retracted.
Horii asked the sailor who had touched the fish, and a thin young man timidly raised his hand, talking about the situation in his mouth, and scratching his stomach with his other hand, which made Horii frown and asked, "Do you feel anything uncomfortable?" ”
"It's a little itchy." The young sailor kept moving and scratching, and the companion next to him hurriedly lifted off his clothes, only to be shocked to find that his body had been scratched out of red marks, but the sailor was still scratching, and now everyone felt wrong, and even his companion hurriedly let go of him, for fear of being infected.
"Dagu, take him to the hospital immediately," Horii said and glanced at the other people on the fishing boat, groaned, and said, "You'd better check it too." ”
Oko drove people to the hospital, while Horii told people not to go near fishing boats and buckets, and asked who had touched the fish, and the local patrol police arrived to help keep order at the scene.
This is a big movement, and the people of the fishing boat were taken away by the victory team and the police, which suddenly made people nervous, and all kinds of rumors spread in the port, and spread as quickly as possible, some said that the port was going to be blocked, because someone was infected, and some said that a large amount of radioactive material was found... The most outrageous thing is that a fishing boat salvaged a nuclear bomb.
When rumors were flying, people from the TPC Biology Department and the Institute of Oceanography, which Horii had applied for, rushed to the scene, set up a makeshift tent, and carefully fished out the strange fish one by one in protective suits, and then entered the sealed tent and put the strange fish one by one into a sealed box and took them away.
Dagu, who went to the hospital, also sent back the latest news, fishermen were detected with different concentrations and types of toxic substances, the most serious one was unconscious before arriving at the hospital, and was being rescued in the ICU at this time, and others were also hospitalized for observation.
According to their recollections, the strange fish was caught in the R sea area of the western Pacific Ocean, and the exact location is forgotten, because there was a mass earthquake on the bottom of the sea at that time, and they were all busy driving their boats to escape, and no one noticed which net the strange fish was in.
