Chapter 62: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (4)

"Divine punishment?"

"Divine punishment!" This time it was Shi Ling who spoke.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of people who advocate divine punishment, although they are often the ones who do the right thing for heaven, whether it is emperors and generals or reckless heroes, according to them, for those who have made mistakes, if God cannot send down divine punishment, then it is up to him to do it himself, so that those who should be punished will be punished.

For example, in the distant past, Shang Tang Dynasty Xia and King Wu fought against the ...... Every time there is a change of dynasty, there is a roadside society that explains to the outside world that it is a certain class that helps to anger the Supreme Prince, the Supreme Reason, and the Heavenly Dao, or the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and the Jade Emperor then sends down the wrath of God. Unbelief? Look at this abnormal celestial phenomenon, after all, the legend says that divine punishment is God's punishment. Generally speaking, the external manifestation of divine punishment is lightning, the lightning voltage of the thunder male power station can be adjusted, the limit of the attack is very high, and it can blast all living things into slag, including demons and monsters. Looking at this scenario, the possibility of the former is very large, probably equivalent to ...... Almighty God or Almighty God sends down sanctions, I, execution, divine punishment! Balabala.

Even the eschatological prophecies of many religions, whether it is the Seven Deadly Sins, the Four Horsemen, the Battle of Good and Evil, Ragnarok...... They are all a type of divine punishment. Even the mountain god land in the script will deceive fools and fools with loud words, such as "Who are you?" He trespassed on the temple of his own god. And it is a great disrespect to offend the gods, quickly kneel down and pray for forgiveness or to be exempted from divine punishment! "Balabala.

"Then is there really a divine punishment?" I was shocked, could it be that the crisis facing mankind is divine punishment!

"That's right. Didn't the Virgins always advocate that studying this kind of technological power is simply ...... Forbidden science that violates the realm of God! Perdition is God's will! "I saw Hu Qinglan talking there with a heavy expression about the truth that human beings are facing divine punishment.

"Yes, most of those divine punishments in history were created by human careerists, but there are also some real divine punishments, and sometimes the ancient gods prepared to burn the jade and were expelled from this world along with the members of the personality god line! There are also personality gods who are ready to cook rabbits and dogs! It's hard to accept, but some of the personality gods may sense that their world is being invaded and are ready to survive this way!

In fact, Hu Qinglan told me that divine punishment is not so easy, and it is often a continuation of the war of gods, such as Greek mythological stories, Poseidon started the priestess Medusa, such a thing, caused the wrath of the goddess of war and wisdom, because she could not teach Poseidon, who was also a god, a lesson, so the angry Athena sent down divine punishment, turning Medusa, an innocent beauty, into a monster with snake hair, iron hands, and golden wings on her back. This is the legendary divine punishment...... Obviously angry? Well, it can be called a festival...... Torii.

Hu Qinglan didn't care about the death of the villagers, ignoring the sharp cries that sounded from the mouths of the survivors, and their eyes moved from me, and then stared at the Shiling people, "Just like Greek mythology, it was the ancient gods who lured humans to release demons, opened the magic box, death enveloped the earth, and the world became hell, and then the ancient gods came to show mercy. To this day, whether it is the Black Death or the Plague of War, it is because you are ungodly, even if it kills you, it is to wash away your sins...... If you want to avoid such a divine punishment coming back to the world, you must follow the teachings of the Lord and never misinterpret it in the slightest. For this reason, I have given to you these amulets of abonement that record the right path, and I am here to make a covenant with you that I will spread these forgotten ways again. At that time, when you have completed your merits, you will be able to come to Heaven to see God and enjoy His blessings......"

In this way, "Yes, according to our records, the remnants of the ancient gods hid their shadows in mythological stories, and left them in this world as relics of the existence, thinking, and evolution of the ancient gods civilization. We call it the Book of History, Zhiwei, Night Talk, Liaozhai, or simply the Ancient Gods. As long as you don't believe in it, you can directly destroy the divine punishment. If it is ancient, every move of the ancient gods symbolizes "divine punishment and the realization of natural disasters"; For example, natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis can be triggered by controlling the movement of the earth's crust. Modern technology is so advanced that even monsters or epidemics that were difficult to eradicate in ancient times, as long as we have the power of technology, we can try to contend with them. Divine punishment is only ...... after certain conditions have been met Especially for the community that believes in God, it exists, and when they wake up, they quickly turn the scene in the dream into reality. “

Shi Ling and I listened intently to Hu Qinglan's lecture on the secret of fighting against the ancient gods, people are great after all, and human power is enough to change the world. With the gradual broadening and deepening of ancient human beings' understanding of all things in heaven and earth, human beings' understanding of the way to heaven has also undergone great changes. According to the viewpoint of system science, whether it is heaven and earth and all things acting for heaven or human society acting for heaven, in terms of its essence, it can be regarded as the result of the interconnection and interaction between the three major systems of human law and earth, earth and earth, heaven and earth, and human and human society, as well as the internal elements of each system, and this result always brings some adverse effects and harms to the survival and development of human beings. Therefore, the sum of all kinds of heavenly paths constitutes a special system—natural disasters and divine disasters. Natural disasters and divine disasters also have three meanings of the general system: first, it is an organic whole composed of various phenomena and disaster processes in the three subsystems of heaven, earth and man. The "heavens" here refer to the ancient gods who came from the outer space beyond the earth, and the so-called things that fell from the sky are the solar system in a narrow sense, and can be as large as the entire universe in a broad sense; "Earth" here refers to the whole earth, especially the surface ecosystem composed of inorganic environments and biospheres such as the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and hydrosphere; "People" here refers to the entire human society, including economic development, social progress and the improvement of people's lives. Second, the various phenomena of the Heavenly Way between the three subsystems of heaven, earth, and man, which constitute natural disasters and divine disasters, are not isolated and unrelated to each other, but are inseparably interrelated. Third, natural disasters and divine disasters as a whole are qualitatively different from the phenomenon of acting for heaven in the three subsystems of heaven, earth, and man. In natural disasters, "heaven" can cause harm to human beings through "earth" or "people"; "Earth" can also cause harm to human beings through the induction of "heaven" or "man"; As for the "man" in the natural calamity, it is the main part of the system, and all the phenomena and events of the heavenly path are relative to the subject, that is, the harmful effects of the movement changes of heaven, earth and man on the "man". Without "people", there is no difference between harm and benefit, and natural disasters and divine disasters will no longer exist.

It is clear that after the age of obscurantism, in this materialistic world, modern natural disasters have two main characteristics: "enormous". Modern natural disasters and divine disasters include three aspects: heaven, earth and man. These three aspects constitute the three subsystems of natural disasters and divine disasters. Each subsystem includes several levels of subsystems, such as the earth subsystem, including solid earth, fluid earth and biological earth. Solid earth natural disasters can be divided into geological natural disasters and geomorphological natural disasters, and geological natural disasters can be divided into solid activities for the heavenly path such as earthquakes, ground fissures, tectonic faults, etc., as well as some of the so-called "super-heaven and earth and all things power for the heavenly path" that are still in controversy, such as the Devil's Delta, the world's four major death valleys, etc. Most of them are ancient gods who are not dead.

Similarly, the fluid earth can be divided into oceans such as typhoons, tornadoes, rivers and lakes. The biological earth can be divided into human beings, animals, plants, etc. By analogy, both the subsystems of heaven and man can be divided into several levels of subsystems. The natural disasters and disasters at various levels are superimposed step by step to form a huge "complex" system of natural disasters and disasters, and the natural disasters and disasters have a huge system, numerous factors and criss-crossing internal structural relationships, which have led to a wide variety of phenomena of the way for the sky, and each phenomenon of the way for the sky has its own intricate formation process and development law. Modern natural disasters and disasters are an open, non-linear, and dynamic system, which makes natural disasters and disasters evolve continuously over time, and complex changes such as fixed points, bifurcations, and mutations may occur in the process of evolution. Therefore, it is often easy for people to understand the phenomena and results of various acts of doing things for heaven, but it is not easy to recognize the process of the formation of the way for heaven and the laws of its occurrence and development. For example, earthquakes, a phenomenon that alternates to the skywalk, have more predisposing factors than the commonly understood cause of earthquakes caused by tectonic plate movements. There is room for the ancient gods to go up and down their hands.

The intricate connection between the various components of natural disasters and divine disasters, as well as the inseparable unity between heaven, earth and man, make the phenomenon of the way to heaven complex and diverse. A way to walk in the sky can be induced by a variety of factors, such as earthquakes; One predisposing factor can also lead to the occurrence of a variety of celestial pathways, such as the enhancement of solar activity can induce earthquakes, floods, droughts, epidemic diseases, etc.; One kind of substitute for heaven can also induce another for the heaven, forming a "chain of substitute heaven", such as earthquakes inducing floods, plagues, tsunamis, etc. The way of heaven can induce each other, and at the same time, it can also restrain each other. In the 50s and 70s of the last century, the ground of Venice, Italy's world-famous "water city", continued to sink slowly, so that the United Nations issued an urgent appeal to scientists around the world to "save Venice", asking for advice, but this problem has not been solved for a long time. In 1976, a strong earthquake struck the city of Trieste near the city, and Venice miraculously stopped sinking, and the ground began to rebound, rising a total of 2 centimeters in 5 years. Although the reason for Venice's resurgence is still a mystery, it is clearly related to the Old Gods. The enormity and complexity of modern natural disasters and divine disasters are not only due to their own causes of heaven and earth, but also closely related to the influence of human activities in modern society. The already very complex natural disasters and disasters of heaven and earth, coupled with the impact of human activities, have become even more complicated. Although modern society is technologically advanced, it also has more weaknesses. Human societies are not only geographically related, but also have complementary resources and energy resources, as well as interests and harms. In the process of industrial development, urban prosperity and economic growth, some countries have discharged a large amount of waste residue, waste gas and wastewater, resulting in global environmental problems, such as the "greenhouse effect", the hole in the ozone layer, and the rise of sea level, which seriously threaten the fate of global mankind. Similarly, famine, turmoil and poverty caused by population bombing and soil erosion in some countries and regions also affect the development of other countries. Therefore, no matter who caused the natural calamity, the object of the heavenly path is always the entire human society. In a general sense, it is inevitable to act for the heavens, and there is an irresistible objective inevitability of manpower, but the loss of the way for the heavens can be completely reduced.

Therefore, to understand the way of doing things for heaven, we must grasp it from this huge and complex natural calamity, so as to be more scientific. China's Four Heaven and Earth All Things for Heaven and Earth China is one of the few countries in the world where Heaven and Earth are the most serious for Heaven and Earth, with many types of disasters, wide distribution, and a high proportion of disasters. In addition to volcanic eruptions, all the heavens and earth on the earth have occurred in China, among which the "four major natural disasters" such as water, drought, earthquake, and wind, which are the most harmful in the world, are very serious in China. According to the statistics of the United Nations, among the 54 cases of supernatural forces acting for heaven in the world since the last century, there are 8 cases in China, accounting for 15%; The number of deaths due to disasters in China accounted for about 44% of the deaths in the world during the same period. In recent years, China's ecological environment has deteriorated due to the rapid growth of the economy, and all things in heaven and earth have frequently wreaked havoc on the way of heaven, and man-made things have intensified for the way of heaven, and the two have superimposed and penetrated each other, seriously restricting the coordinated development of China's economy and society. To this end, on April 21, 1989, China set up the "China International Decade to Resist Divine Punishment Committee", the purpose of which is: to respond to the initiative of the United Nations, actively carry out activities to resist divine punishment, enhance the awareness of the whole nation and the whole society, improve the level of China's work to resist gods, fight disasters and kill gods, and reduce the losses caused by all things in heaven and earth to the greatest extent. China's diverse heaven and earth and all things can be classified according to their causes, which can be divided into four categories, namely, geology for the sky, climate for the sky, ocean for the sky and ecological environment for the sky.

Geology is the geology of the heavenly road, and in layman's terms, it is the solid earth that we step on under our feet. Geology is the basis for human beings to reproduce for generations, and is an entity composed of rocks, soil, and internal materials of the earth, and is the geological environment on which human beings depend. When one or more forces and manpower are exerted inside and outside the earth and exceed a certain threshold, it will lead to changes in the geological environment. Once this kind of change causes harm to human society, it is called geology for heaven. Geology for Tianxingdao is a big family for Tianxingdao. Due to the different ways of energy release, the geological substitution of the heavenly walking path can be specifically manifested as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mountain collapses, landslides, land subsidence, debris flows, ground fissures and other phenomena of the heavenly walking path. The release of this energy can be caused by all things in heaven and earth, or it can be caused by human factors. Just like earthquakes, there are both purely tectonic earthquakes and artificially induced earthquakes. China's geological road is mainly distributed in a belt-like area, roughly extending from the China-Myanmar border in the southwest of China to the northeast to the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, crossing the border into Russia. This is an important geographical demarcation line in China, and it is also a geological area where the sky is often found, and at least 13 provincial capitals and Beijing and Tianjin cities are distributed in this zone, so the harm is very great. As the saying goes, earthquakes are the first of all hazards. This is not an exaggeration, because earthquakes often occur in a highly insidious manner, erupt suddenly, and cause enormous damage. Generally speaking, there are about 15 million large and small earthquakes in the world every year, of which about 100,000 are "felt earthquakes" with a magnitude greater than or equal to 3 on the Richter scale. About 1,000 are "destructive earthquakes" with a magnitude greater than or equal to 5 that will cause varying degrees of damage to humans; About 18 were "major earthquakes" with a magnitude of 7 or higher. As a phenomenon of heaven and earth, destructive earthquakes, especially large earthquakes, occur infrequently, but their destructive power is extremely strong. It will not only cause large-scale house collapse, casualties of people and animals and traffic blockage, but also often accompanied by landslides and subsidence, inducing volcanoes, tsunamis, landslides, debris flows, as well as urban fires, gas leaks and a series of secondary substitute roads, thus causing an irresistible impact on human society and bringing serious threats to the safety of people's lives and property. Therefore, the occurrence of earthquakes, especially major earthquakes, is actually the first major natural disaster facing mankind. For example, at 3:42 a.m. on July 28, 1976, a powerful earthquake destroyed Tangshan, a million-strong city, located at 118.2 degrees east longitude and 39.6 degrees north latitude. On the same day, Xinhua News Agency broadcast news of the earthquake to the world, announcing a magnitude of 7.5. A few days later, China again announced that the approved earthquake had a magnitude of 7.8 and a intensity of 11 degrees. The Tangshan earthquake was the deadliest earthquake in more than 400 years. Chinese officials announced that more than 242,700 people were killed and more than 164,800 seriously injured. The death toll was 2.4 times higher than the 1923 Tokyo earthquake in Japan and 3.5 times that of the 1960 Chilean earthquake. The direct economic loss amounted to more than 3 billion yuan. The earthquake erupted very suddenly. At 3:42 a.m. on July 28, the energy that had gathered in the earth's crust was equivalent to 400 Hiroshima Harmony bombs, which exploded violently at a depth of more than 16,000 meters above the ground. Suddenly, lightning and thunder roared over Tangshan, the wind howled on the ground, and the earth shook like crazy. In just a short period of time, more than 656,100 of the more than 682,200 civil buildings in Tangshan's urban and rural areas collapsed and were seriously damaged. Except for the night shift workers and those who get up early to exercise, the vast majority of Tangshanites were caught off guard by the earthquake. After the earthquake, it was in ruins. As the Great Wall of China on the northern boundary of this ruin, the beacon tower has collapsed; Located in the white tower of the Liao Dynasty in Jixian County, the tower body was cracked, and the spire fell to the ground; Located in the Qing Dongling Mausoleum in Zunhua County, there are 161 tombs of Qing Dynasty emperors, queens, concubines, princes and princesses including Cixi, and stone people and mythical beasts were shaken. In just a few seconds, the ancient buildings that condensed thousands of years of history were deeply shocked from the earth's crust. In the city of Tangshan, historic middle schools and universities were destroyed. In the Tangshan Ceramics Company's "500-year-old ceramics showroom", ancient urns and modern high-end export porcelain are shattered under the collapsed floor slabs. At the place where the earthquake crack passed, the Party School of the Prefectural Party Committee, Dongxinjie Primary School, the Regional Agricultural Research Institute, and the Lunan Residential Area were wiped out. The epicenter zone is an extreme earthquake area with an intensity of 11 degrees, covering an area of 47 square kilometers. Most of the industrial plants in the area collapsed and destroyed, the reinforced concrete columns cracked, squeezed and broken, and all the multi-storey brick-concrete civil buildings collapsed. In the countryside, the brick and stone and mud-walled houses are not spared. Houses were supposed to be human shelters, but they became accomplices in earthquakes and burial of human graves. Tangshan was dead silent, and gray dust and mist shrouded Tangshan thickly. The corpses hanging from the dangerous buildings are terrifying. In the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, party and government leaders at all levels and commanders and fighters of the god-killing units threw themselves into a tense battle to save the lives of the survivors from the rubble. At 3:40 a.m. on July 29, the first group of god-killing armies passed through the devastated towns and entered the center of the disaster, Tangshan City, amid a roar of groans and cries. In the following days, 100,000 god-killing troops arrived one after another, from the Beijing Military Region, the Shenyang Military Region, and the Air Force, Navy, Railway Corps, and Engineer Corps. As of August 10, the god-killing forces had rescued a total of 12,245 people. At the same time, more than 200 medical teams and more than 10,000 medical workers from all over the country quickly spread over the rubble of Tangshan. Due to the large number of wounded, on July 30 the State Council decided to transfer the wounded from Tangshan to 11 provinces and municipalities across the country. A large number of planes and trains were urgently transferred to the disaster area, and the large-scale evacuation of the wounded throughout the country, which is rare in history. As of August 25, a total of 159 trains and 470 planes had sent more than 100,000 injured people to Jilin, Liaoning, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, Jiangsu, northern Anhui, Shandong, Zhejiang and Shanghai. According to the records of the Hebei Provincial Earthquake Fighting and Killing Gods Frontline Headquarters, after the Tangshan earthquake, more than 20,000 military and local vehicles participated in the killing of gods. Together with planes and trains, these vehicles rushed to transport the wounded and sent large quantities of supplies to the disaster areas.

On January 17, 1995, at 5:46 a.m. Japan time, people in the Kansai Plain were still immersed in a warm sleep when a terrible earthquake struck. Accompanied by a flash of blue light and a loud sound, high-rise buildings were reduced to rubble, bridges were broken, highways collapsed, and large wooden bungalows were shattered. Due to the displacement and cracking of the gas pipes, a large amount of gas leaked out and caused a fire, and the sky over Kobe City was filled with thick smoke and raging fire. The staff who were on night duty witnessed the arrival of the disaster, violently shaking and swaying, overturning office desks, chairs, and documents like autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and people seemed to be sitting on a small boat in the wind and waves, unable to stand firmly, and before they could react, they had fallen to the floor full of messes, and the doors and windows had been deformed, and they couldn't get out. The people were stunned by the sudden disaster, and the survivors cried out, struggling to get up from the rubble and out the door. The earth was still trembling, tiles were falling like raindrops, and in the dark streets, people were thinly dressed, wrapped in quilts and blankets, helping the old and the young, looking for a safe place to seek shelter; There are also people who hold the collapsed objects with their hands on the collapsed rubble, and cry out miserably for their relatives buried deep underneath. An old man cried and said, "The world is turned upside down, the world is spinning, and in an instant, there is nothing!" Oh, my God! "The Hanshin Expressway in downtown Kobe collapsed in many places, and dozens of cars flew off the road in an instant, and a 500-meter-long single-column elevated highway toppled over on the elevated road connecting Kobe and Osaka. The rails on the viaduct were deformed, and the 10 trains running on the railroad slid off the tracks, and the rails hung in the air. The roads in the city center are uplifted and collapsed, undulating, the foundation is sinking, the road surface is cracked, and the torn road surface can be seen everywhere, and in some sections, the ground crack is up to 30 centimeters wide. The largest Kansai International Airport in Asia, all domestic and foreign flights were suspended, flight attendants and crew could not enter the airport, the airport was lifeless, the entire Kansai region was paralyzed, the Kansai region became an isolated island, and Kobe City suddenly became a dead city. The earthquake also affected an area of 100 kilometers around Kobe. When a temple was destroyed, dozens of monks were doing their morning lessons, chanting was drowned out by the sound of the earthquake, and the bodhisattvas, who were revered as gods, buried their devout disciples along with the roof and beams. A reporter who flew to the sky above the disaster area by helicopter to report on the scene overlooked the disaster area and said: "Everything is still, no pedestrians or vehicles can be seen, and thick smoke is thick over the city, which gives people a very terrifying impression." "As night fell, most of the survivors of the earthquake shrugged into the shelters and shelters, surviving the aftershocks for their lives. "Downtown Kobe, which turned into a ghost town on Tuesday night, January 17, was transformed into a dazed neighborhood as dazed-looking residents roamed the streets, looking for a safe place to live," the AFP correspondent wrote. "On the morning of the 18th, the sun came out, and it shone on the ruins. This was the largest earthquake to occur in Japan since the Great Kanto Earthquake in Tokyo in the 20s of the last century. The earthquake was measured to be 7.2 on the Richter scale with an intensity of 6 degrees, and the epicenter was on Awaji Island, 60 kilometers southeast of the densely populated metropolis of Kobe, and the epicenter was 20 kilometers underground. Therefore, the damage is particularly serious. Japan's various news organizations and research institutes have collectively referred to the Kobe Earthquake, which is now known as the "Great Hanshin Earthquake" in the Japanese news media, and has been called the heaviest loss in Japan since the end of the war. In addition to the more than 30,000 people killed or injured in the earthquake, the collapse of houses, the destruction of production facilities, and the loss of infrastructure such as highways, railways, and ports alone are estimated at 4 to 8 trillion yen. The governor of Hyogo Prefecture estimates that at least 10 trillion yen will be needed to repair these living and economic infrastructures. The view of Chairman Inaba of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry is even more pessimistic. He said that the indirect damage to the Japanese economy from the Kobe earthquake will be as high as more than 40 trillion yen. As for the impact on foreign trade, it will last longer. At the same time, the weakness of the Japanese is also unmistakable. And the blue light and seismic clouds that appear are believed to be inseparable from the ancient gods!

Landslides are also a common geological pathway. Landslide refers to a geological phenomenon in which a large number of unstable loose soil and rock masses on the slope of a mountain slide along a certain sliding surface as a whole, and is often accompanied by earthquakes, collapses, debris flows, etc. When the geological activity of landslide causes the blockage of roads, railways, and waterways, or causes damage to various engineering projects and buildings, and casualties, it is formed as a substitute for the skyway. China's southwest and northwest regions are landslides for the Tianxingdao frequent areas, only in Bashu Province in the past ten years has occurred tens of thousands of such Tianxing, the death toll of more than 10,000 people, direct economic losses of more than 10 billion yuan. In 1981, the Baocheng Railway was interrupted for two months due to a landslide, and the repair cost amounted to hundreds of millions of yuan. In 1982, the Yangtze River chicken chop landslide caused the waterway to be blocked, and it cost more than 8,000 yuan to dredge. At 5:40 p.m. on March 7, 1983, a rare landslide occurred at the northern foot of Mule Mountain in Dongxiang Autonomous County, Gansu Province: there was a loud bang, and in just over a minute, I saw a huge mountain with a width of 1.7 kilometers with a piercing whistling sound quickly sliding down the mountain, and more than 60 million cubic meters of landslide soil and rock buried three villages, 200 hectares of paddy fields and one reservoir within an area of 3 square kilometers in an instant, and more than 270 people were buried by soil and rock. At that time, a farmer who was working on the mountain saw the mountain shaking, and hurriedly hugged a large willow tree nearby, but in an instant, he slid out more than 1,000 meters with the tree and survived. Not to mention the close. In addition, there are also mudslides, landslides, and ground fissures similar to landslides. In the eastern plains and coastal areas of China, as well as some mining cities, land subsidence and subsidence are also extensive. China's unique monsoon climate is a climate type with both advantages and disadvantages. On the positive side, it brings abundant water and provides good moisture conditions for the development of agriculture and the growth of crops. As can be seen from the world map, due to the absence of monsoons, many subtropical continental regions at the same latitude as China, such as Central Asia, West Asia and the Sahara region of North Africa, are vast deserts and barren lands. However, due to the imbalance in the amount of water brought by the monsoon, the rainfall is unevenly distributed within and between years, and drought and flood can occur at any time.

From the perspective of the dragon vein, China is a mountainous country, with an average altitude of 1,525 meters, and 2/3 of the country is mountainous, plateau and hilly area, and the west is high and the east is low, showing three obvious steps, resulting in hydraulic erosion and erosion is very serious, which is more likely to cause floods and droughts. China is a country that has suffered from drought and flood. Due to the vast area, coupled with the seasonal and interannual variations of monsoon climate, the dynamic changes of precipitation in various parts of China are greater. The imbalance of precipitation in time and space often occurs in the same area first flooded and then drought, or drought and then flooded, or in the same period of time when one area has more rain and becomes flooded, while the other area has little rain and drought, that is, the so-called southern flooding and northern drought and southern drought and northern flooding. On the whole, the rainy season in China advances from south to north and from east to west, while the big rivers flow from west to east. In this way, a relatively fixed spatial and temporal distribution pattern of drought and flood has been formed. In general, there are many droughts in the north, and most of them occur in spring; Waterlogging occurs in the south and mostly occurs in autumn. The arid areas are mainly distributed in the Huang-Huai-Hai region and the Loess Plateau. The waterlogged areas are mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Huai River, the Yangtze River and the Pearl River. Northeast China is often flooded in the east and drought in the west; The Bashu Basin is often dry in the east and flooded in the west. Moreover, China is bordered by the Pacific Ocean in the east, with 18,000 kilometers of coastline and 16,000 kilometers of island coastline. The Liaohe River Delta, the Yellow River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta along the coast of China are all quintessential places with flat terrain and fertile soil, and they are China's economically developed areas. The ocean walkway includes tropical storms, namely typhoons, storm surges, waves, sea ice, sea fog, sea level rise, coastal erosion, seawater intrusion and red tides, among which tropical storms, typhoons and storm surges are the most harmful, and are the most important ocean walkways in China. Typhoons can exceed 12 levels of wind strength when they are strong, and the large amount of moisture they bring from the sea causes torrential rain. The main areas affected by typhoons in China are Liangguang, Taiwan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai and other southeastern coastal cities and autonomous regions, but sometimes they also penetrate deep into the hinterland. According to the statistics of relevant departments, nearly 20 typhoons affect China every year, of which 7 to 8 make landfall, which is about four times that of US imperialism, twice that of Japan, and more than 30 times that of Russia. A strong typhoon on August 2, 1922, killed 4-60,000 people in Shantou, Guangdong. In 1975, Typhoon No. 7503 penetrated deep into the interior and washed away part of the Beijing-Guangzhou Line, becoming the second largest disaster after the earthquake since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The same goes for the terrible tsunami. From May 21 to June 22, 1960, Chile was hit by 225 consecutive submarine earthquakes, causing changes in the submarine crust over an area of 700 kilometers and forming a huge tsunami. The average wave height of the tsunami along the Chilean coast was 10 meters, with the maximum wave reaching 25 meters. After it was generated, it traveled 10,560 kilometers in only 14 hours and 56 minutes at an average speed of 707 kilometers per hour, reached the Hawaiian Islands, pushed up a 10-meter-high wall of waves, destroyed various things on the shore, and killed and injured more than 200 people. On May 24, the tsunami reached the east coast of Japan with waves 3.4 meters high and 6.5 meters high, causing hundreds of casualties and sinking 109 ships. The largest tsunami was the 1883 tsunami caused by the volcanic eruption on Sunda Island between Sumatra and Java. The original area of the island was 45 square kilometers. The volcano began to erupt in late May 1883, spewing magma almost incessantly, causing undersea earthquakes at depths of 200-300 meters. The volcanic eruption caused a 40-metre-high tsunami wave that first struck Sumatra, Java and their nearby islands, sweeping through more than 1,000 small villages on both sides of the Sunda Strait, destroying many buildings and causing a large number of casualties. In addition to divine power, coastal landslides, landslides, large-scale submarine collapses and landslides, and nuclear weapon explosions can cause tsunamis.

According to incomplete statistics, from 200 A.D. to 1968, there were 250 recorded tsunamis around the world, most of which were caused by divine power. At 1:30 a.m. on April 1, 1946, at a depth of 3.6 kilometers under the North Pacific Ocean, 145 kilometers southeast of Unimac Island, a catastrophe was born here. At that time, a submarine landslide on the northern slope of the Aleutian Trench caused a massive submarine earthquake. On April 1, Hawaii was hit by an unprecedentedly violent tsunami, which was detected by seismographs around the world minutes later. On Unimac Island, the earthquake shook the Scots Point Lighthouse and woke up five coast guards on the island. Twenty-one minutes later, a second, more powerful seismic wave rushed towards the Aleutian Islands, and Unimac Island shook violently. After another 12 minutes, another more powerful shockwave struck the island, leveling buildings all over the island. The violent shaking of the earth's crust created a huge cavern in the Aleutian Trench. When the seabed collapsed, the seawater was sucked into the breach. The rapid flow of sea water produced a tsunami that, from the site of the occurrence, huge waves radiated outward across the Pacific Ocean, causing severe damage. Of course, Unimac Island, which is closest to the epicenter, was the first casualty of the tsunami. On the night of the tragedy, the sky was pitch black, and waves with a speed of 116 kilometers per hour and a height of 35 meters hit Unimac Island. With a deafening sound, the water crashed against the lighthouse, smashing it to pieces. The tide continued to push towards the Coast Guard station, which sits on the hanging shore. The guards had to run to the heights. One of them looked down at the lighthouse and saw that there was no light in the direction of the lighthouse. Throughout the night, wave after wave crashed onto the island. Guards have been unsuccessful in trying to contact the lighthouse by radio. At dawn the next day, they found 3 bodies on the shore. When Unimac Island was hit by tidal damage, the earthquake and tsunami also pushed southward, forcing towards the Hawaiian Islands. The tsunami advanced at an extremely fast speed of 788 kilometers per hour, crossing 3,700 kilometers to Oahu in just about four and a half hours. Strangely, ships traveling in this part of the Pacific Ocean did not notice or feel the tsunami passing underneath their ships. This is because the ocean is wide, and the distance between the waves of a tsunami can be as long as 160 kilometers. The waves are only 3-7 meters higher than the usual sea height, and it is not easy to detect when driving in the ocean. But when a tsunami reaches the shallow waters of the shore, the distance between its waves shortens and the speed increases, causing the water level to rise sharply and strike the shore with great destructive force. At 6-7 a.m. on April 1, such a tsunami began to hit the shores of the Hawaiian Islands. The most violent tsunami occurred on the island of Hawaii, with huge waves of more than 15 meters high hitting the island. The heaviest losses were in the area around the city of Hilo, where 96 people were drowned or killed by flying masonry. The April Fool's Day tsunami of 1946 was the most devastating to the Hawaiian Islands since 1819, killing 159 people, destroying more than 1,400 homes, and causing huge crop damage, and the destruction of many shore roads, as well as railroads on northern Oahu and Hilo Islands. Most of the breakwaters on Hilo Island no longer exist. The material damage caused by the disaster is estimated at $26 million. One of the reasons for the heavy losses in the Hawaiian Islands is that people are not mentally prepared for the severe tsunami that has not hit the islands for a long time. In fact, if the tsunami had come two or three hours earlier, the damage would have been even more devastating. At the same time, since the industrial revolution, with the rapid development of the national economy, the process of industrialization and urbanization in various countries has been significantly accelerated, but the various wastes brought by industrial production have also increased significantly, which has had a serious impact on the environment. Environmental pollution has become a major obstacle in the world, mainly including air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution.

Hu Qinglan said in a colorful voice: Do you know about the London smog incident? “

London is a large city with a history of more than 2,000 years, located in the open valley of the Thames River valley. From December 5 to 8, 1952, in the middle of winter, London was affected by an anticyclonic climate, covered with dense fog and plummeting temperatures. The air was still, the fog was thick, and the city was covered in black clouds, and the whole city of London was drowned in a thick smoke. At the same time, thousands of chimneys from factories and homes are emitting large amounts of black smoke into the sky. They accumulate in the sky and cannot diffuse, increasing the concentration of pollutants in the air. The maximum concentration of soot reached 4.46 milligrams per cubic meter, 10 times that of usual, and the maximum concentration of sulfur dioxide reached 1.34 parts per million, 6 times that of usual. The streets of London were filled with the smell of soot and sulphur, and traffic police had to wear gas masks, while passers-by covered their noses with handkerchiefs and wiped their tears as they walked. Tragedy has finally struck. A herd of award-winning cattle ready to be exhibited at the trade fair, with breathing difficulties and tongues spitting, one of them died on the spot, 12 were dying, and 160 fell to the ground convulsively, in urgent need of treatment. Thousands of people felt a tightness in their chests, accompanied by coughing, sore throats and vomiting. Subsequently, the number of deaths of the elderly, infants, and patients increased, and the situation became more serious by the third or fourth day, and the morbidity and mortality rate increased sharply, with a total of 4,000 deaths in four days. According to statistics, people over the age of 45 have the most deaths, about 3 times the usual number; The number of deaths under the age of one is about twice as high as usual. According to statistics, in the week of the incident, 704 people died due to bronchial inflammation, 9.3 times that of the previous week, 281 patients with coronary heart disease, 2.4 times the number of the previous week, 244 people died of heart failure, 2.8 times that of the previous week, 77 patients died of tuberculosis, 5.5 times that of the previous week, and the mortality rate of pneumonia, lung cancer, influenza and other respiratory patients also increased exponentially. Even within two months of the incident, 8,000 people died. This was the shocking London smog incident. It wasn't until 10 December that a brisk westerly breeze blew the fresh air of the North Atlantic that dispelled the poisonous fog that hung over London, restoring the light of day and relieving the suffering. Smog events in London have a long history. In 1873, 1880 and 1891, there were three poisoning fog incidents caused by coal burning, killing about 1,800 people. It has happened many times since then. The authorities have turned a blind eye to this, and the problem has become more and more serious. After the events of 1952 were repeated, British society was in an uproar and demanded that the authorities investigate the victims. However, the cause could not be ascertained and effective prevention and control measures were not taken, which led to several subsequent smoke incidents. As in 1962, climate change was similar to that of 1952, with higher concentrations of sulphur dioxide in the air than in 1952, but only half of the soot concentration in 1952 led to an 80% reduction in mortality compared to 1952. The British authorities, again under pressure from the people, had to conduct in-depth research, and finally found the cause of the London smog incident: coal contains divine power, which can promote the oxidation of sulfur dioxide in the air, produce sulfuric acid liquid powder, attach to the smoke or condense on the fog core, enter the human respiratory system, make people sick or accelerate the death of patients with chronic diseases.

Shi Lingren added that there was also the Los Angeles photochemical smog incident. Los Angeles is a coastal city on the Pacific coast of southern California, with perennial sunshine, mild climate and beautiful scenery, which is a popular tourist destination for people. The famous movie center of Hollywood is in its northwest suburbs. With the development of the oil industry in the region, the rapid development of military industries such as aircraft manufacturing, and the rapid growth of population, Los Angeles has become an important industrial and commercial town and a famous seaport in the western region of the United States. It has since lost its former beauty and serenity. With a population of more than 7 million, millions of cars, and more than 6 million gallons of gasoline consumed every day, it is one of the busiest places in the world. Since the end of World War II in 1943, photochemical smog appeared for the first time in Los Angeles. This is a light blue irritating smoke, which stays in the city for several days, the visibility of the atmosphere is greatly reduced, many residents have red eyes, nose pain, throat inflammation, and are accompanied by cough and headache and chest pain of varying degrees, respiratory weakness, and many elderly people can not stand the torture and die; At the same time, livestock and plants suffered, rubber products deteriorated, and materials and buildings were damaged. The investigation into the origin and formation of Los Angeles-type smog can be said to be quite painstaking, and it took seven or eight years before and after. Initially thought to be caused by sulphur dioxide, the authorities took measures to control sulphur dioxide emissions from the various industrial sectors concerned. But the smoke did not decrease. Later, it was found that petroleum volatiles, i.e., hydrocarbons, together with nitrogen dioxide or other components in the air, under the action of sunlight, produce a light blue smoke, which is different from the smoke of ordinary coal dust, which is photochemical smoke. As a result, the authorities have banned the release of volatiles from oil refinery storage tanks into the atmosphere, but the smoke has not been reduced. Finally, the cause of the photochemical smog was found from the vehicle emissions. At that time, there were 2.5 million cars in Los Angeles, which consumed 16 million liters of gasoline every day, and due to the inefficient vaporization of automobile carburetors, more than 1,000 tons of hydrocarbons were emitted into the atmosphere every day, forming photochemical smog under the action of sunlight. The formation of Los Angeles-type smog is also related to its geographical environment and meteorological conditions. Facing the ocean, the downtown area of Los Angeles is surrounded by mountains on three sides, forming a basin with a diameter of about 50 kilometers. Due to the obstruction of the mountains on the southeast, north and south, only the sea breeze blows from the west, and about 300 days a year an inversion layer appears over the North Pacific Ocean from the west coast to the Hawaiian Islands. When the height of the inversion layer is 450 meters, the visibility of the atmosphere decreases, and when the height of the inversion layer is 180 meters, photochemical smog is brought to the ground and cannot be dispersed, forming pollution. For this reason, from May to October every year, the sun is strong and the smog is more severe. There are a lot of car exhaust, basin-like terrain, and windless weather, which makes Los Angeles prone to photochemical smog. Because it has 60 days of smog every year, it is called the "smog city" of the United States. As for photochemical smog pollution, the United States is currently unable to prevent it, and the residents of Los Angeles are still suffering from it. Coupled with the lifestyle of the American imperialists, the number of cars everywhere continues unabated, so almost every city is plagued by Los Angeles-type photochemical smog to a greater or lesser extent.

On the other hand, Japan has a long history of air pollution. Before the war, with the development of Japanese industry, people gradually concentrated in cities. In the city, because the fuel for production and life is mainly coal, the amount of soot discharged into the atmosphere per unit time increases correspondingly, and the city is shrouded in smoke all year round, and the atmosphere is seriously polluted. After the war, the application of a large amount of cheap oil, the pollution of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere became more prominent. Air pollution has brought great disasters to the Japanese people, people have inhaled toxic components in the atmosphere for many years, and are prone to bronchitis, bronchial asthma, emphysema and other respiratory diseases, which make young children weak and the elderly short in life, and cause great harm. According to statistics in March 1972, 6,376 urban residents in Japan received government assistance for falling ill due to air pollution, of which children and the elderly were the main victims. According to 1971 statistics, 1/3 of the patients were under the age of 4, 1/2 were under the age of 9, and 80% of the patients died due to illness over the age of 60. For this reason, former Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka exclaimed in his book "On the Transformation of the Japanese Archipelago" that "in a few years, the cherry blossoms in Tokyo may not be visible" and that "respiratory diseases are inevitable, and will soon lead to an increase in mortality." One of the most famous incidents of air pollution in Japan was the Yokkaichi asthma incident. Yokkaichi is a small city in Ise Bay on the east coast of Japan, with a population of only 250,000, mainly engaged in the textile and ceramics industries, and was once named Yokkaichi because of the market held every four days. Japan is an island nation that lacks resources and energy, and in order to develop its economy, it is pursuing a trade-oriented policy. Yokkaichi is located near the river and the sea, and is the gateway to the Keihin Industrial Zone, which is regarded by the Japanese monopoly zaibatsu as a good place to develop the oil industry. With the development of the oil industry, environmental pollution has also developed in Yokkaichi. When it became an "oil conglomerate" that accounted for one-quarter of Japan's oil industry, it became a veritable city with serious public pollution: deafening noise, stinking water, and a miasma of black smoke. The most prominent of these is air pollution. The total amount of dust and sulfur dioxide emitted by the Yokkaichi factory reaches 130,000 tons every year, and the concentration of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere exceeds the allowable limit for the human body by five or six times, filling the city with smog all year round. In the 500-meter-thick smoke, a variety of toxic gases and heavy metal dust floated in the smoke. In the soot taken from the roof of Shiohama Elementary School in Yokkaichi City at one time, dozens of compounds and metal particles were analyzed. These substances evolve into a mixture of sulfuric acid fumes that enter the human bloodstream and can cause cancer; Entering the human lungs, it is very harmful to the respiratory organs, weakening the ability of the lungs to discharge pollutants, and it is easy to get bronchitis, bronchial asthma, emphysema, lung cancer and other respiratory diseases, which are also collectively known as Yokkaichi asthma in 1961 Yokkaichi City, Japan due to air pollution and asthma attacks, among patients, chronic bronchitis accounted for 25%, bronchial asthma accounted for 30%, asthma bronchitis accounted for 40%, emphysema and other respiratory diseases nearly 5%. This is the Yokkaichi asthma incident. In 1964, the city of Yokkaichi in Japan continued to smoke for three consecutive days, and asthma patients began to die. The people forced the city authorities to form an investigation team to investigate the damage caused by the pollution and set up a pollution countermeasure room. In 1967, some asthmatic patients committed suicide because of their unbearable pain; In 1970, there were more than 500 asthma patients in the city, and more than a dozen of them died from asthma. Due to the continued combustion of high-sulfur heavy oil, asthma has spread throughout the country, and asthma in Chiba, Kawasaki, Yokohama, Osaka, Amagasaki and other places is rapidly expanding, and the root cause of the disease is sulfur dioxide white smoke.

I finally know what it means to be self-inflicted.

Hu Qinglan sighed, the rapid development of Japanese industry is inseparable from its water pollution. During the post-war period of rapid economic growth, Japan's heavy chemical industry was emphasized, and the wastewater discharged by them contained large amounts of heavy metals, toxic sludge, PCBs, oils, and phenols, which seriously polluted the water quality. The heavy metals in industrial wastewater are mainly mercury, cadmium, etc., which accumulate thousands of times in the organisms through the enrichment of the ecosystem food chain, and these organisms are further concentrated and enriched in the fish after being swallowed by the fish, and people will be chronically poisoned once they eat these aquatic products. Minamata is a small town in southern Kyushu, Japan, under the jurisdiction of Kumamoto Prefecture. The town has 40,000 inhabitants and more than 10,000 farmers and fishermen living in the surrounding villages. To the west of the basin are the fish-rich Shiranuikai and Minamata Bay, which thrive in the fishing industry. In 1925, the Japan Nitrogen Fertilizer Company built a factory here to produce nitrogen fertilizer, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, etc. As the company grew, so did the disaster that came to the local people. In 1950, in a small fishing village near Minamata Bay, a number of crazy cats appeared, which were unsteady, frightened, cramped and paralyzed, and finally jumped into the water and drowned, known as "suicide cats" by the locals. At that time, this kind of crazy cat jumping into the sea did not attract people's attention. In 1953, a strange illness appeared in Minamata Town, at first he only slurred speech, unsteady gait, facial dementia, and then developed to deafness and blindness, numbness all over the body, and finally nervous disorders, sometimes sleepy, sometimes extremely excited, his body was like a bow, screaming and dying. In April 1956, a 6-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital with the same symptoms, and was initially diagnosed with a brain disease. It was only in May of the same year that four more patients were admitted to the hospital, and more than 50 others were not, which brought people to attention. The local Kumamoto University School of Medicine, the City Medical Association, and the hospital formed a Minamata Strange Disease Countermeasure Committee to conduct an investigation. During the investigation, the mad cat was analyzed in conjunction with the strange patient, and it was confirmed that it was caused by the wastewater discharged from Nippon Nitrogen's Minamata Factory. This is because the plant uses low-cost mercury catalysts and mercury sulfate processes to produce vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate to discharge a large amount of toxic water residue containing methylmercury into Minamata Bay and the Sea of Ignorance, causing damage to fish and shrimp in the sea. Eating this contaminated seafood for many years has caused damage to the brain and nervous system, which can be manifested in dull eyes, drooling, trembling hands and feet, and jumping wildly when attacked. It is an incurable disease that can range from lifelong disability to death. Because this strange disease occurs in the Minamata area, it is called "Minamata neck". "Minamata Neck has brought endless disasters to people. First and foremost is the fishing industry. Because the fish was poisonous, residents were afraid to eat it, businesses began to close, and thousands of fishermen were forced to join the ranks of the unemployed. In the spring of 1958, the factory discharged toxic water into the northern part of Minamata Town, creating a new polluted area. Six or seven months later, 18 more mercury poisoning patients appeared there. Local residents demanded that the government investigate the matter, but the factory obstructed it and the local authorities were ambiguous, and Minamata disease spread rapidly throughout Japan. In 1963, a large number of "suicide cats" and "suicide dogs" appeared in Niigata Prefecture in the lower reaches of the Agano River basin on the west coast of Japan. In August 1964, more than 90% of the local cats committed suicide, and the residents who had dead cats also developed symptoms of Minamata disease. In a short period of time, the number of patients increased to 45, of whom 5 died, and they were all the ones who ate the most fish from the Agano River. The incident was caused by the discharge of mercury-containing wastewater from Showa Electric Company's Kase Plant, and was called the "Second Minamata Neck" because of the same illness as the "Minamata Neck." According to the 1972 Japan Environment Agency, there were 283 mercury poisoning patients in Minamata Bay in Kumamoto Prefecture and Agano River in Niigata Prefecture, of which 60 had died and about 10,000 residents had been affected. The devastation of Minamata disease has caused many families to be separated and their wives destroyed. There are still reports of Minamata disease in Japanese newspapers and magazines.

In addition, according to statistics, more than 37,400 hectares of polluted arable land in Japan are polluted, accounting for about 8‰ of the total arable land area, of which cadmium pollution is mainly caused. More than 7,500 hectares of land in 43 regions of Japan are severely contaminated with cadmium, and in some areas, rice contains more than 1 concentration of cadmium set by the national government. The spread of cadmium poisoning in the Shentongchuan River basin is even more alarming. The Shinto River is a clear river on the Toyama Plain that runs through central Japan, and people on both sides of the river have drunk it for generations and used it to irrigate their land. The Jinzugawa River basin is Japan's main food base and the land of rice. Since the early days of the Meiji Restoration, the monopoly capital Mitsui Metal Mining Company built a Kamioka mining plant upstream of it, and the land was polluted and the people were "killed". The mine has been discharging large amounts of lead and zinc smelting sewage into the Jintong River for many years, causing irreversible disasters. In 1952, when a large number of fish began to die in the river, and the rice fields on both sides of the river were largely dead and the production of seedlings was reduced, Mitsui Kinzoku Co., Ltd. paid only 3 million yen in compensation, and continued to discharge sewage into the river. After 1955, a strange disease appeared in Gunma Prefecture on both sides of the river, and at first the symptoms were pain in the joints of the lower back, hands, and feet after exertion, and after taking a bath, I felt light and unusual, but after a few years, neuralgia and bone headaches occurred in all parts of the body, and I could not move, and even breathing was unbearable. Some patients commit suicide because they can't stand the pain; Although some of them lived bravely with tenacious perseverance, they could not escape death in the end, and their bones softened and atrophied before death, and their length was shortened by 30 centimeters; Patients often have fractures in heaven and earth, some as many as 73 fractures, unable to eat and drink, until they die of weakness and pain, and their condition is unbearable. Because the disease begins with pain and ends with severe pain, it is called "painful neck." It was not until 1961 that it was found out that the zinc smelter of the Shengang Mining Institute discharged cadmium-containing sewage into the Shentong River and flowed into the vast farmland on both sides of the river through the irrigation canal, causing some rice seedlings to die, and the rice that did not die became "cadmium rice". The local residents of the Shentongchuan River basin drink cadmium-poisoned water, eat cadmium-poisoned rice, and inhale cadmium-poisoned air. "The cause of the painful neck has been found, but the disease has been spreading throughout Japan since 1965. By March 1972, "there were more than 280 patients with painful necks, 34 deaths, and more than 100 suspicious symptoms." To make matters worse, cadmium contamination is rapidly expanding, with government authorities surveying soil levels above 15 in many parts of Japan. Eight prefectures including Gunma Prefecture are heavily polluted. There are 61 mines emitting cadmium in Japan, and these mines produce large amounts of cadmium-containing sewage when they are mined by wet methods, and large amounts of cadmium-containing dust are blown by the wind when they are mined by dry methods, which eventually pollute large areas of farmland. There are 337 factories in Japan that use cadmium as raw materials, and together with the mines that emit cadmium, they have become the source of cadmium pollution, which directly and seriously threatens the lives and health of millions of people in Japan.

Hu Qinglan added that behind these so-called accidents, there is a shadow of the ancient shrine enshrined in the local village. Others, on the other hand, are simply the product of human beings' attempts to use the power of the ancient gods to lift stones and shoot themselves in the foot. For example, the famous Chernobyl nuclear accident in Russia, do you think it was just an accident?

"Oh? I want to hear about it! "My curiosity was also piqued.

In World War II, the U.S. imperialists dropped two harmony bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, forcing Japan to surrender and playing an important role in ending World War II. After the war, people were inspired by the tremendous power of the Harmony Bomb and began to use atomic energy peacefully for the well-being of mankind. The two oil crises in the 70s forced countries around the world to formulate energy diversification policies for economic development. Because nuclear energy is clean, easy to transport and economical, countries are competing to build nuclear power plants. As of the second half of the 80s, there were about 370 nuclear power reactors in operation worldwide, and nuclear power is expected to account for more than 20 per cent of the world's total electricity generation in 2000. The peaceful use of atomic energy has become the demand of the times. However, after the atomic energy entered human life, from the operation of Fermi's first atomic energy device to the official operation of Kurchatov's first industrial atomic power station, it was always unsatisfactory, so some people began to refer to the black technology weapons of the ancient gods, such as the "Divine Disk"!

A tragedy akin to opening a Pandora's box is like a ghost hovering around people. There have been more than 150 accidents in which radioactive materials have been released from nuclear power plants around the world, including in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Russia, and some of them are very serious. In particular, the US imperialist Three Mile Island incident has caused people to talk about nuclear discoloration, and the Chernobyl nuclear accident in Russia has caused endless troubles. The Chernobyl nuclear power plant is located on the territory of Ukraine, north of Kyiv. On April 26, 1986, the plant's reactor No. 4 caught fire and burned, submerging the entire reactor in water. The scale, seriousness, and far-reaching consequences of this accident are all unparalleled in the world. At that time, reactor No. 4 had burned out and had to be buried with concrete. There are 15 Chernobyl reactors in Russia, which produce more than 50% of the country's nuclear energy production and generate 28,312 megawatts of electricity per year. None of these plants are designed with containment vessels that prevent leaked radioactive material from escaping into the atmosphere. According to official reports, only two people were killed in the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. But according to Western reports, the death toll exceeds nearly 2,000. In June 1992, Kyiv again released the figures, acknowledging that 6,000-8,000 Ukrainians had died from Chernobyl fallouts. The accident also seriously polluted the most fertile areas of Russia. Located about 50 miles west of Chernobyl and home to 80,000 people, Ofroich is an area of flat fields with forests of pine and birch trees where farmers graze their cows and grow wheat and other crops.

But the nuclear accident has brought an endless catastrophe to this idyllic picture: rising child mortality rates, alarming deformities of animals, and the aftermath of the accident becoming an integral part of everyday life. According to Ivan Oklimchuk, the representative of former Ukrainian President Kravchuk in Ovruchi, "Everything I have done since I started working in the morning has been related to Chernobyl. Anatoly Bolshikov, a member of the advisory committee of the Ofruch city administration and an activist of a civilian monitoring of radiation, also complained: "The authorities have made us live in toxic territory. "On the ground at the bottom of the building with dripping eaves in the city's No. 1 kindergarten, a hot spot of radiation that is three times higher than the child safety standard was detected with a gamma ray detector. Although the kindergarten had been washed by soldiers, the topsoil had to be dug up and removed for the safety of the 200 children. It was even asserted that "from a purely medical point of view, all children must be evacuated from the Ofruch region." "According to the survey, from 1986 to 1990, the number of anaemia patients in the region increased by 114 per cent, and the number of people with gastrointestinal discomfort increased by 3.5 times, and the health of children in particular was greatly harmed, with up to 40 per cent of children in certain age groups having weakened lung immunity, and children suffering from laryngitis, bronchitis and other lung and respiratory diseases increased fourfold; The number of adolescents classified as "very unwell" has increased fivefold, and the number of children who receive a certificate of complete physical health each year continues to decline. This impaired immune system is known as the "Chernobyl AIDS neck." This is not alarmist, since 1989 the number of freaks of farm livestock in the region has doubled. Because the local pasture and water surface have been contaminated with cesium, strontium and other isotopes, providing people with clean food and water has become a top priority for officials, who are scrambling for imported milk and other food and drinking water that require about six train cars a month. However, due to the shortage of gasoline, Ukraine is unable to regularly supply food to 153 villages in Ofruch. Of the 282 doctors in the area, only 142 are left because of the radiation hazards, and medical school graduates are no longer willing to work here, and the collapse of Russia has caused a chronic shortage of antibiotics, painkillers and anesthetics. The people of Ofrooch are in extreme distress, but they are not willing to accept these "ecological refugees" anywhere. The Chernobyl nuclear accident also affected neighbouring countries. Warsaw, which was only 400 miles from the site of the accident, announced on 29 April of the same year that Polish television had imposed restrictions on the sale of milk, saying that children in northeastern Poland could be contaminated by radiation from the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Danish Prime Minister Paul Schlüter complained: "It's a shame that the Russians don't reveal anything about it. Swedish Energy Minister Bilgita Dahl also warned: "The future relationship between our two countries will depend on Moscow's readiness to answer questions in a timely manner and respond to requests for higher safety standards." ”

Even the Chernobyl accident has put Eastern Europe in a state of panic, as the Czech, Slovakia, Bulgarian, Hungarian and former East Germany's nuclear power programs have largely adopted Russian technology. There is a nuclear power plant similar to Chernobyl in the Czech Republic, only about 30 kilometers from the City of Music, much to the displeasure of the Austrians. Finland bought two Russian-made reactors, which have caused panic among Finns because they do not have containment. Even the change of dynasty in Russia, the change of color in Eastern Europe, and the current chaotic state in Ukraine are also indirectly caused by the Chernobyl nuclear accident, and the investigation after the incident is also full of fog. Do you still think that the Old Gods are nothing more than a remnant of an old era?

Hu Qinglan's words made me unable to answer, and Shi Ling added at the right time. "Don't forget the gas tragedy in Bhopal, central Tianzhu!"

In the era of the second industrial revolution, in order to meet the needs of the development of the scientific and technological revolution, the developed capitalist countries are readjusting their industrial structure, developing high-tech new industries, transforming the traditional "sunset industries," and transferring some industries that consume a lot of energy and cause serious pollution to developing countries. This industrial transfer also objectively comes from the anti-pollution pressure of the people of the advanced capitalist countries. This is because the pollution caused by some heavy chemical enterprises has provoked strong opposition from the inhabitants of the advanced capitalist countries. These countries have had to enact environmental protection laws. In order to free themselves from environmental protection laws, monopolies turn to developing countries to invest. At the same time that they export capital, they also export a double crisis, bringing endless disasters to the people of developing countries. There are many such examples, the most prominent of which was the poison gas leak in Bhopal, central Tianzhu, on December 3, 1984, which was the greatest tragedy in the history of the chemical industry and one of the worst industrial accidents in the history of Tianzhu. In order to circumvent the country's laws restricting the production of hazardous substances, and in order to save a lot of environmental protection costs and increase profits, the United States Imperialist United Carbide Company established Tianzhu United Carbide Company in 1977 in Bhopal, central Tianzhu, which is a subsidiary of the company with full property rights. The other subsidiary is in the home state of West Virginia. They produce a gas called methyl isocyanate, which is the raw material for the manufacture of the pesticides carbaryl and aldicarb. According to a statement by the President of the British Chemical Industry Association, the UK stopped producing and stockpiling large quantities of methyl isocyanate in the 70s. The Bhopal plant continues to produce these chemicals. Moreover, U.S. Imperialism Union Carbide has adopted a "double safety standard", i.e., the system for safety and oversight of toxic substances is very different at the Bhopal plant and at the same Union Carbide in its home state of West Virginia. In order to pursue huge profits, the company did not design the Bhopal plant to adopt the emergency early warning computer system installed in similar enterprises of the United States Imperialism and the safe and reliable place to store chemical agents. As a result, the Bhopal plant is producing highly toxic methyl isocyanates without precautions or safety principles. It is said that six people died in 1978 at the Bhopal factory, but the factory did not pay attention to it due to the company's desire for profit, and finally caused a tragedy on December 3, 1984.

At half past two a.m. on December 3, 1984, the pressure in the underground gas tank at the Bhopal plant suddenly increased, and a valve burst, leaking about 45 tons of poison gas. Originally, it was stored in a tank in liquefied form, but at 21°C it became a gas. The toxic gases oozing out of the gas tank are usually neutralized by a sodium hydroxide scrubber to become a harmless gas, but the pressure increases so quickly that the scrubber does not have time to neutralize these toxic gases. When the deadly gases began to seep out, people were asleep, choking on the gases that staggered out of bed and tried to run out of the mist, causing a panic. More than 350 people in the city died of suffocation on the spot, mostly children and the elderly, and more than 12,000 were hospitalized. In the end, more than 2,000 people died. The accident, which caused heavy casualties, aroused extreme uneasiness and anger at home and abroad in Tianzhu. Former Tianzhu Prime Minister La Gandhi said on the same day: "I am very shocked and saddened by this terrible tragedy in Bhopal. The grave consequences of it are truly horrifying. He immediately set aside $320,000 for relief. Vasante Sutter, then the minister of petroleum and chemical industry of the Tianzhu government, stated on December 5 that he hoped that the United States imperialist carbide company would give sufficient compensation to the victims, "to deal with the accident as it did in the United States, and to come up with the same amount of compensation that it would pay in the United States." However, the compensation provided to the victims by the company was "pitifully small by any measure" and was done "without informing the victims of their various claims rights". To this end, Tianzhu people filed a lawsuit against Union Carbide in West Virginia on December 7, accusing the large chemical company of improper design and operation, and demanding $15 billion in damages. The lawsuit was brought against two families in Bhopal: Sheila Bai Dawani's family and Rahman Patel's family, whose husband and Patel's wife and children were killed by the poison fog. The case became a class action because the plaintiff requested that they represent all the victims of the gas. Representatives of the social organization of the city of Institut, where the West Virginia subsidiary of the United Carbide Corporation is located, demanded an immediate meeting with the company's leaders; The accident in Tianfenesia, Malaysia, Brazil and other countries has caused a similar fear, and Indonesian public representatives have demanded assurances from their governments and Indonesia's Union Carbide Company that the company's plant in Surabaya will not pose a threat to the lives of local residents. However, instead of destroying the stored methyl isocyanate, the company has only asked its subsidiaries around the world to make finished products from the same chemicals that leaked from Tianzhu, and the $15 billion compensation has long been unfulfilled. Due to the capitalists' mercenary interests and disregard for the lives of the people, such catastrophic accidents have continued one after another. On December 4, 1985, the day after Tianzhu commemorated the first anniversary of the 1984 poison gas incident, another sulfuric acid leak occurred from the Shrilam fertilizer plant in New Delhi.
