Chapter 1121, Environmental Issues
In the courtyard of the Imperial Palace, the red maple leaves drift in the wind, which is also a beautiful sight.
casually grabbed a leaf floating in front of his eyes with two fingers, and just as Luo Ji was about to take a closer look, a figure appeared behind him......
"Your Majesty, the red kite has passed away."
When the words fell, Luo Ji's hand moved slightly, and after two seconds of silence, he loosened his fingers and let the fiery red maple leaf drift away with the wind.
"The gray elf princess, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on it again?"
"No need."
Luo Ji spoke slowly.
"Didn't the red kite say that? There's no problem with the Grey Elf Princess, she's worked hard for her all these years, so be it. ”
As he spoke, Luo Ji waved his hand, and the figure suddenly quietly retreated.
The courtyard of the palace was calm again, and Luo Ji stood there quietly, looking at the fiery red maple leaves flying in the wind, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Until Luo Yunxi's cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Your Majesty, it's time."
Hearing this, Luo Ji exhaled a long breath, and then nodded.
"Let's go."
Under the long river of time, the gradual aging and death of the previous generation, the replacement of the old and the new, and the change of the times, is an inevitability, and the development of civilization will not stagnate because of this.
After a short break, Luo Ji once again devoted himself to his busy daily work.
Leaving aside the Elven provinces to the south, the popularity of steam trains in the other three realms is progressing very well.
Among them, the western territory, which was the first to put in steam trains, has now built railway stations in four cities, and the number of steam trains has increased to five.
The economic benefits of easy access soon became apparent.
If you want to get rich, build roads first, this sentence is really true.
However, the issue of air and environmental pollution raised by the elven naturalist Wei Lun before did give Luo Ji a wake-up call.
Although he has played a lot of development and construction games before, there are really few games that bring factors such as 'air quality' and 'environmental pollution'.
Therefore, in this area, Luo Ji is indeed negligent.
Why was London called the Fog Capital in its early years? To put it bluntly, isn't it caused by industrial pollution? It is the result of focusing only on development and ignoring environmental protection.
The famous 'London Smog Incident' is a lesson from the past, shrouded in toxic fog, in just four days, the death toll in London reached 4,000, and in the next two months, nearly 8,000 people died of respiratory diseases, which is a lesson from history!
As a modern person, Luo Ji quickly realized the seriousness of this problem after reacting.
According to the historical trajectory, the Industrial Revolution is an inevitable stage in the history of human development, but at the same time, it is also an era with the most serious environmental pollution.
If this wave is messed up, not only will it cause strong dissatisfaction among the elven people, but afterwards, Luo Ji himself doesn't know how many years it will take him to clean up the mess caused by industrial pollution.
Anyway, it took more than 30 years for London to take off the name of 'Fog Capital'.
On the premise that he has already recognized this danger in advance, he must of course be prepared to prevent it from happening.
In this way, Luo Ji waved his pen, and a new decree was soon promulgated.
The 'Natural Ecology and Environment Protection Bureau' was formally established, and the elf naturalist Wei Lun was appointed as the first director.
The first task of the Bureau of Natural Ecology and Environmental Protection is to deal with the exhaust gases produced by coal combustion.
Of course, while instructing this task, Luo Ji made it clear that it was impossible to stop the steam train and other solutions.
So what Luo Ji wants the elven naturalists to think about is how to clean up those exhaust gases, or convert them into harmless oxygen like the photosynthesis of plants.
This request undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of the whole thing, but even so, Wei Lun, who received the appointment letter, was still overjoyed.
The large amount of exhaust gas emitted during the operation of the steam train caused pollution to the surrounding environment and air really made him frown.
However, the fact that His Majesty the Emperor was able to pay such attention to the natural environment made all the elven naturalists led by Wei Lun very happy, and even the dissatisfaction accumulated in the previous incident disappeared all at once.
In the matter of managing the natural ecological environment, Wei Lun is undoubtedly very concerned, and less than a month after the letter of appointment was issued, he has already submitted two plans one after another.
Directly deactivating the steam train is naturally the easiest and most efficient way, but His Majesty does not allow it, so they can only take time to slowly improve the environment and make adjustments.
Luo Ji actually doesn't know much about this matter, after all, the air quality in the city where he used to live has always been very good, and there is no need to worry about this problem.
Therefore, at such a time, I can only trust the professionalism of the elven naturalists.
With a stroke of the pen, he directly allocated a project fund to the Natural Ecological Environment Protection Bureau, and they did a very good job in the previous environmental improvement tasks, and this time, the elven naturalists would not let him down.
Luo Ji, who had finished ordering another thing, stretched hard, then picked up another document report at hand, and began to confirm the construction progress of several other major projects one by one.
Unconsciously, time passed quietly, and he turned his head to look at the pendulum clock placed in the hall, Luo Ji couldn't help but yawn, it was late at night, and it was time to rest.
At the same time, in the bedroom of an apartment in Spiegel City, Mia, who was asleep, suddenly woke up and sat up directly from the bed.
Under the heavy breathing, Mia unconsciously supported her forehead with one hand, and her whole face looked extremely ugly.
Nightmare、She had that nightmare again。
However, what annoyed her was that when she woke up, she didn't remember the contents of the nightmare at all, only that it was a very, very bad thing.
Some time ago, the death of her friend Xu Yuan had already plunged her into deep grief, and the nightmares that followed were further tormenting her spirit.
"Absolutely, definitely something's going to happen......"
It was destined to be another sleepless night, and the next morning, Mia hurriedly called the griffon knight who was responsible for her safety.
"Knight Elk, I need you to make a trip to the Lower Sun Mountains immediately, I've been having nightmares lately, and although I can't remember exactly what happened in the dream, I'm afraid something bad is about to happen......"
Hearing this, Elke's face changed significantly.
"Subordinates set off immediately!"
The update is here, and I would like to thank the book friends for the monthly passes of 'Heart Like Winter Snow', 'Nine Netherworlds', 'Chaos - World', 'Mud Puppet Giant', 'Reverse Positive', 'Purple, Dream', 'Always Quiet J'!
