Chapter 148: Explosion

After work, Lao Tiantou packed up his things and went home, and his home was in a residential area near the factory area. As a result of this large petrochemical plant, various factories have sprung up throughout the area, and plastics, clothes, and ...... Various petrochemical-related industries have established factories here, and the changes here can be said to be changing with each passing day.

But every time before returning home, he would visit the river downstream of the reservoir, a habit he had formed in recent years.

More than a decade ago, the river was just a small tributary, and its water came from several streams in the mountains. Although the river water is not crystal clear, there are still a lot of fish and shrimp, and many people go to the river to wash their clothes, and some even swim and bathe in the deep part of the river.

However, since the emergence of a "ancient 'Yelang arrogance', now there is 'Central Yunnan Water Diversion'", the place has changed. A 480-kilometre-long diversion channel diverts water from the Jinsha River to the site, and a tall dam rises upstream to form a reservoir that serves as a water intake point for the massive petrochemical plant and surrounding plants.

Over time, countless amounts of wastewater began to be discharged into the lower reaches of the river.

Although this wastewater is discharged in strict accordance with environmental protection standards, there are some idioms called wire sawing wood breaking, water droplets and stones piercing, and thousands of miles of embankments collapsing in anthills. Although it has been strictly treated as wastewater, it is still wastewater, and it still contains some harmful substances to the human body.

A month, maybe no problem; Half a year, maybe no problem; A year, maybe no problem; Two years, maybe no problem...... But after more than ten years, even if there is continuous living water to wash away these harmful substances, there will always be some accumulation. Harmful substances that have been accumulated for more than ten years can really be safe and healthy?

Back then, there were countless children playing in the river, fish and shrimp swimming, and the golden light flashed and was full of vitality under the sun.

But now, the river has long since lost its freshness and beauty, and has become muddy, a veritable flowing stagnant water.

Lao Tiantou sighed and left slowly. His back was a little hunched, and as the sun set, the shadow was stretched long.

The residential area is located downstream of the river, and most of its residents are factory workers and their families. Those who did not work in this factory area have already moved to live in other places.

Moreover, as the environment has become worse and worse in recent years, more and more people have begun to quit their jobs and leave the place that was once known as Spring City.

After returning home, my son, daughter-in-law and wife were all waiting at home. At this time, there were already a lot of dishes on the table in the hall, as well as wine.

Lao Tiantou's retirement obviously made the whole family very happy, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was festive, harmonious and lively.

"Dad, you're retiring tomorrow, do you want to move out and live in a neighboring city?" In the middle of the meal, my son felt that the atmosphere was about the same, so he brought this up. He had mentioned it several times in the past few years, wanting to get the two old people out of this place where the environment was extremely bad.

Lao Tiantou did not refuse as seriously as he did the previous times, but said happily: "Okay, but think about the place to move." ”

"Well, Banna is now the most livable city, I heard that the density of vitality there is several times higher than that outside, and the vegetation coverage has reached 80%. It is very suitable for living, I heard that many elderly people have broken through to 100 years old, and the newborn children are relatively smart and very healthy. As he spoke, a look of envy appeared on his face.

The other three were also listening intently, their eyes eager. They also know that Banna has become very beautiful, and there are many rare beasts, rare flowers and plants, so they are also very yearning for it.

"However, I heard that the entry threshold there is very high, and the Banna government has already imposed restrictions on the number of households, so it is very difficult for us to apply." The daughter-in-law said in disappointment.

"Well, I forgot about it."

"However, we can go to other cities and counties, and I've heard that there are vitality trees in those places. As long as there is a Vitality Tree, we can enjoy the nourishment of Vitality, be healthy, and it is not necessary to become a superman. Speaking of this, the son became a little excited.

"Well, although it's not as good as Banna, it's better than in this hellish place, I haven't seen a blue sky in years." Lao Tiantou's wife supported that if it weren't for her wife working here, she would have wanted to move out a long time ago.

"Okay, I'll go to the cities and counties where the Vitality Trees appear tomorrow to inspect and then settle down the place." When the son heard that the old man agreed, he immediately became happy.

"I suggest that after my dad retires, the whole family should take a trip to Banna to see if it is so magical."

"I heard that there are a lot of amusement projects in Lila County, and the legendary leopard often goes shopping in Lila County to buy candy and clothes, which is very magical. Also, we can go and see the bread grove and the tree house or something............

The daughter-in-law kept talking excitedly, and the other three people were deeply attracted when they heard it, and their eyes were full of infinite longing, and they even forgot to eat.

"Okay, let's go travel first, and then go to find a place to live, anyway, the household entry procedures are not so fast." Lao Tiantou was also very excited at this time, and after retiring, his heart was no longer bound and wanted to fly freely.

The future is so bright...... The next day, Lao Tiantou finished breakfast and went out to work. At this time, it was more than 7 o'clock, and the sun had just risen, and the thick gray fog blocked the sun, and the sunlight shining on Lao Tiantou had a little more haze.

Lao Tiantou looked around, the factory area was patchy, dusty, some towering chimneys kept spitting smoke, and the whole sky was gray.

Thinking of yesterday, I was interested in consulting the information about Banna tourism, green mountains, blue waves like mirrors, clear skies, and flocks of birds.

"This is really a ghost place...... Lao Tiantou couldn't help but curse.

Lao Tiantou's work handover is very smooth, many things have been clearly explained to Pan Jian on weekdays, everything that should be handed over has been handed over, what should be entrusted has been entrusted, and I have already met with the leader. Thinking that he could travel to Banna tomorrow and enjoy the green world that he hadn't enjoyed for more than ten years, Lao Tiantou couldn't help laughing.

It's time to get off work quickly.

"Let's go, Lao Tiantou, we're going to celebrate for you! Have a few drinks! At this time, Pan Jian came over, and he was very happy that there was no problem with a smooth handover today.

"Good!!" Lao Tiantou replied briskly. But when I left, I still looked at my office a little reluctantly. When I got out of the factory gate, I didn't forget to look back.

"More than ten years of place, ah......" Thinking that he was going to leave today, Lao Tiantou couldn't help but sigh.

"Lao Tiantou, what are your plans for the future?" Pan Jian asked.

"Hehe, my son helped me make a reservation, leave here, go to live in other places, and travel to Banna tomorrow, I heard that there are a lot of amazing things there." Thinking of tomorrow's travel, the sadness in Lao Tiantou's heart is finally a little less.

Pan Jian and the others gave a thumbs up at the same time and congratulated them.

"Boom!!"

At this moment, a very loud roar suddenly erupted in the factory, which shocked several people who said they were going to celebrate. Several people turned their heads in horror and looked at the place where the voice had come from. I saw a huge pillar of fire more than 60 meters high erupting out, reflecting half of the sky and black smoke billowing out.

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

Immediately afterwards, several violent explosions broke out in the factory, and one of the oil storage tanks more than 30 meters high could be clearly seen exploding.

Lao Tiantou only felt that a large fireball that was extremely bright appeared there, and the strong light shone on his eyes and could not open them. And the exposed skin felt a kind of heat.

Then you can clearly see a ripple from the place of the explosion and rapidly expanding, and soon after arriving at the place of Laotiantou. Lao Tiantou felt that his body was pushed by a huge force, and he instantly left the ground, and then fell to the ground.

Countless objects were swept up by the air waves.

Then there were bursts of explosions, fireballs continued to burst out, and the bright light shot straight into people's pain.

Lao Tiantou and the others sat on the ground like wood, staring blankly at the billowing smoke in the factory area and the fierce fire that continued to rage.

"No, I'm going to put out the fire!" Lao Tiantou didn't say a word and rushed straight in, although he felt that the chances of success were slim. But when the explosion spreads, the entire factory will be destroyed, the tens of thousands of tons of raw materials will be leaked, and Kunyue City will become a dead city full of various harmful substances.

"No, it can't be!" His love for his hometown drove him to bravely rush to the place where the explosion occurred.

Several other people looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and quickly rushed over...... The residential area and other factories were boiling, and they were all shocked by this huge explosion.

In less than half an hour, countless fire trucks and firefighters continued to come here, and the sirens continued to sound for a long time.

Two hours later, tens of thousands of troops were dispatched from the military base to organize firefighting and disaster relief.

That night, the news of the accident at this large petrochemical plant was disclosed on the Internet, and tens of millions of netizens were instantly stunned by the news.

"It can't be true, right?"

"It must be a lie!"

"I'm from Kunyue City, don't scare me......"

"If it's true, Kunyue City is miserable! We're miserable too! ”

Soon, countless videos, pictures, and captions were posted online. The smoke that rushed into the sky, the huge fire that lit up half the sky, and the countless soldiers, all proved that the news was true.

"My mother is from there, and when she heard the news, she fainted from crying......

"I'm going back tomorrow for the disaster!"

"Mourn the lost workers!"
