Jiang Li and others also followed ashore.

Steiner picked up a plastic bottle from his feet, it was a Coca-Cola bottle, "Look! How amazing human beings are, each and every one of us has contributed to the construction of this island, and a lot of the garbage here has drifted from the coastal areas of China. Don't look at the humble plastic beneath our feet, when all the plastic piles up, it creates a lot of buoyancy, and we're now driving on a huge plastic ship. ”

"I'll show you something." Steiner took the equipment from his assistant — a long pole with a camera on it.

He thrust the long pole under the plastic floor, allowing the camera to go deep into the sea.

Subsequently, the assistant turned on the tablet, and the camera captured the environment in the sea and transmitted it to the tablet.

Amazing scene, up and down the seemingly calm plastic road is another active ecology, countless fish, turtles and other marine life inhabit the human garbage heap, they forage in the plastic, in addition to eating plankton, more plastic waste and attached debris into the stomach. And underneath the garbage, there are many dead sea creatures caught in it.

There is no wind here, the currents are slow, and the whole biological world seems to slow down, the scene of the end of the world.

"Chen! Look here, this is like a cornucopia full of delicious food for sea creatures, there will be more sea creatures gathered here, they will slowly die after filling their stomachs here, worthy of the name of the marine cemetery. ”

The garbage island is very large, and now everyone is only on the periphery of the garbage island, and there are 20 square kilometers of rocky islands in the very center, but obviously, everyone has no way to enter it by walking.

The United Nations brought small drones, and in the open field, staff released the drones.

An hour later, the drone came to the very center of the garbage island, and Chen Nuo also saw the so-called rocky island.

If it weren't for a big tree standing on the island, you wouldn't really be able to tell the difference between the middle and the periphery of the island, because there is garbage everywhere, but the garbage on the island is older and looks older.

"The island was also home to seabirds, but then it all went extinct," Steiner said. ”

After spending a long time on the garbage island, everyone feels very uncomfortable.

Because the garbage below is disgusting with the smell of dead sea creatures, and there is not a single sea breeze on the whole island, it feels like being in a closed room.

Yang Maixi's face was not very good, she had been holding back, but she didn't want Chen Nuo to see her uncomfortable appearance.

"You're going back to the ship first?" Chen Nuo proposed.

The stubborn girl shook her head.

"Don't go up? It's almost noon, you go back to lunch first, and things are still busy in the afternoon. ”

"What about you?" Yang Maixi asked.

"We're not going back, we brought canned food, and we'll eat it here."

At the thought of eating in the garbage heap, Yang Maixi naturally thought of the greasy beef in the can, and couldn't help retching.

Chen Nuo went over to support Yang Maixi, "Okay, don't be stubborn, go put it on." Jiang Li, let her take her back. ”

"I'm not going!" Yang Maixi finally couldn't hold back a burst of nausea and said, "I haven't gone back, I can't be special." ”

Yang Maixi understands that this trip with Chen Nuo is not a trip, let alone to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature, but for scientific research.

"Done!" Seeing Yang Maixi's appearance, Chen Nuo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Prepare experimental equipment." ”

"Good!" The little girl wiped the sweat from her forehead with wet wipes and took out the experimental equipment from the staff's box.

A sample of environmental protection bacteria, a container for concrete, and reagents to adjust salinity, etc.

Chen Nuo has not used environmental protection bacteria in seawater, so I don't know if it can survive in such an environment, but Chen Nuo believes that the magical strain of Blue Star World is also very survivable since it can digest garbage, and the temperature here is more suitable for the reproduction of environmental protection bacteria.

Yang Maixi, who has entered the working state, seems to have forgotten the discomfort of his body.

Yang Maixi poured some small pieces of human garbage into the container with seawater, then added environmental protection bacteria and culture, and then used high-precision detection equipment to observe the decomposition of the garbage.

At the same time, Chen Nuo asked officials from China's Ministry of Environmental Protection and United Nations staff to find out as much as possible the types of garbage on the island.

The plastic waste here is definitely the majority, but it is also mixed with other things, and the more precise the type of garbage, the better, depending on whether it meets the taste of environmental protection bacteria.

The sweltering garbage island suddenly became quiet, and Steiner gave a thumbs up when he saw the attitude and professionalism of the employees of Bluestar Group, "Chen, I now know why Bluestar Group has become a technology company that has attracted global attention, because you have the best employees." If eco-friendly bacteria apply here, what do we do next. ”

"Bluestar Group wants to own the garbage island, and hopes that the Environmental Protection Agency will actively cooperate, and we will open an experimental site and garbage digester here." ”

"Here?" "Far from the mainland, it's very difficult to get equipment and people over," Steiner said. ”

"Yes!" Chen Nuo said: "I am worried that the special funds of the United Nations are simply not enough, and the Bluestar Group has to pay for this. ”

At ten o'clock at lunch, everyone hurried to finish lunch in a hurry and waited for the results of the experiment.

Three hours later, the standard experimental time for environmental protection bacteria arrived.

The experimenter looked at the results and handed them to Chen Nuo.

The effect is not very ideal, although the garbage can also be decomposed, but the decomposition rate is less than one-tenth of the conventional experiment, which proves that seawater has a serious damage to environmental protection bacteria.

Looking at this result, the officials of the United Nations could not help but be disappointed. The Bluestar Group, which they were looking forward to, seemed to be powerless either.

Now Chen Nuo has two options, one is to set up a conventional environmental protection treatment workshop on the garbage island to deal with the garbage, and then before the treatment, the garbage needs to be desalination, which is quite large, but it is not a few hundred million or a few months to complete, which is obviously unrealistic.

Another option is to further screen and breed the next generation of environmental protection bacteria, environmental protection bacteria are not a certain species, but a mixture of multiple strains, since the garbage in seawater can be treated, then there must be a colony adapted to seawater, which needs to be further developed in the laboratory.

"Mr. Steiner, I need to borrow your environmental monitoring base and set up a professional garbage disposal laboratory here, and at the same time I need greater autonomy, including ownership of such small islands."
