Intense investigations and research on fungi in Tokyo are being carried out in an orderly manner.

And the friction between Amerika and Homo sapiens in the Pacific, Ceylon Ocean, and Oceania is also in continuous confrontation.

Until a week later.

That is, February 12.

The Tokyo Hotel was reserved for the day.

Edward and Victor, who flew from North America, and Wu Wei and Ovie, who came from Southeast Asia, each led a negotiation team to hold talks at the Tokyo Hotel.

Special representatives of other Powers also attended.

Wu Wei threw a document in front of Victor and sneered gloomily: "Could you please explain what this is about?" ”

Victor didn't answer, but flipped through the papers, which showed Homo sapiens' research and assessment of the fungus in Tokyo.

"This fungus will only multiply in large numbers between 22~37 degrees Celsius and the air humidity must be greater than 50%, and at the same time, in this environment, its corrosion rate on plastics can reach the fastest, and polyethylene plastics such as plastic bags and plastic films can be decomposed in 8 months......"

Wu Wei stared at Victor deadly: "May I ask where on earth can we maintain such environmental conditions for a long time?" ”

Everyone present immediately reacted.

The daily temperature is between 22~37 degrees Celsius, and the air humidity is greater than about 50%, which is the most suitable for tropical areas on the earth.

To be precise, it is Southeast Asia, Brazil and the Congo Basin that are most in line with it.

"And the temperature and air humidity in the middle and high latitudes, only in summer, are in line with the reproduction of fungi in Tokyo, and the rate at which plastics in these areas are decomposed is several times slower than in the tropics, with dozens of times."

Wu Wei's voice was full of anger, like a whistling typhoon: "Haha, who gains and who loses, this is simply self-evident, I have every reason to suspect that some forces specially created this fungus in order to deal with our Homo sapiens company." ”

And when Wu Wei spoke, his eyes were fixed on Victor.

Victor was secretly thinking in his heart: 'Wang Defa! Could it really be that the Council did it? ’

The envoys of the other powers present also had different thoughts in their hearts at this time.

For example, Lucia's Andre, he looked at Wu Wei, Victor and others, and secretly laughed in his heart, Lucia made a lot of money this time.

The reason why Andre thinks Lucia is making a lot of money.

The reason is that Lucia's geographical location is in the middle and high latitudes, and most of the whole territory is temperate, subarctic and boreal, with only a few subtropics.

In this climate, Tokyo fungi only have two or three months of reproduction a year, which means that plastic in Lucia takes three or four times as long to break down as in the tropics.

Taking polyethylene as an example, a polyethylene plastic bag will be decomposed in 8 months in Southeast Asia, but in Lucia, it takes about 24~32 months.

What's more, plastic is easy to decompose, which does not mean that the plastic industry will decline because of it.

It was easy for Andrei to think that once plastic is easily decomposed, does that mean that plastic becomes environmentally friendly? This is good for the plastics industry!

Good for the plastics industry, that is, good for the oil industry.

Lucia is an oil exporter, which is good for Lucia!

And plastic is easy to decompose, which means that the cost performance of plastic furniture is reduced, which in turn will benefit wood, bamboo, ceramics, glass, aluminum alloy and stainless steel.

Lucia is a well-known timber exporter in the world, which in turn benefits Lucia's timber industry.

Boy! The more Andre thought about it, the more weak he became, and he felt that Lucia had made a lot of profit.

And Victor is thinking about the same thing.

But he didn't just think about America's environmental advantages, and the oil and gas industry, but also about automobiles and electronics.

Now the fungus in Tokyo causes accelerated aging of plastic parts of automobiles and electronic products, and it seems that it has a great impact on automobiles and electronic products around the world.

But look at the problem in two ways.

Accelerated aging of parts, is that possible to accelerate scrapping? Accelerated obsolescence, is it to buy new products? This means that the previously saturated electronics and automotive markets will usher in a large wave of new demand.

What is Americaka's problem now?

It's not that it's printing too much money, the market itself is close to saturation, and the external market is shrinking.

Well, now the Tokyo fungus has helped them create a lot of new demand, which is good for the North American automotive and semiconductor industries to maintain production and revive the North American industry.

Increasing the scale of production in related industries will require a large number of industrial workers, which in turn can reduce the unemployment rate and restore the economic cycle.

America is simply Qin Shi Huang sitting in an electric chair - won hemp.

You say that the fungus in Tokyo will reduce the service life of cables and medical supplies? That's better, directly replace the new material, or bury it in the ground, this is all demand and money!

Why is it difficult for plastics to be eliminated in all walks of life?

The reason is that the related interests of the plastic industry are too large, and it is easy for a single region to push hard, and it is easy to cause its own industrial chain to be defeated by other regions.

Now it's okay, let's change it together.

If you don't change, Tokyo fungus directly teaches you to be a man.

And the envoy of the Far East is actually muttering in his heart.

They will definitely complete the transformation of the cable in about 3~5 years in the southern region, but fortunately they carried out the transformation of the cable into the ground before.

According to Homo sapiens' research on fungi in Tokyo, the fungus is slow to decompose plastics underground, especially buried cables, which can take decades to completely corrode.

In addition, the use of potassium permanganate and copper hydroxide can effectively inhibit the growth of Tokyo fungi.

Big deal, regularly spray copper hydroxide and potassium permanganate solution on the underground pipe gallery.

As for the high-voltage cables erected by the towers, you can first spray a specific barrier paint, and then find a way to find antifungal additives or new plastics, and then gradually modify these cables.

Moreover, in this fungal crisis, electrical appliances, automobiles, and textiles will definitely accelerate their scrapping, and the new demand in the Far East and the world will definitely increase significantly, which will greatly benefit the foreign trade industry in the Far East.

If there is new demand, there will be a market, and if there is a market, a large number of industries can be maintained.

As for the problem of declining service life of plastics, it can actually be overcome, as long as the benefits are sufficient, there are alternative products.

Plastic bag? Cloth bags, bamboo baskets, paper bags.

Plastic bottles? Cans, glass bottles, enamels.

Syringes, infusion lines, and pouches? glass, sealed sterilization box.

Chemical fiber? Cotton, linen.

Toothbrush? Pig hair.

Anyway, as long as there are enough benefits, the application of plastics in various scenarios can be replaced by other materials.

Many people think that humans can't live without plastic.

That's underestimating human beings.

In the era when plastics were not used on a large scale, human beings were not living well.

This time it was just forced by the fungus, and the vested interests of the entire plastic industry could not hold it down, so naturally there was no way to stop the global wave of plastic substitution.

In fact, it is the impact of fungi that is beneficial to disposable plastic products in the plastic industry.

As long as it is sealed and disinfected, and used immediately after opening, disposable plastic bags and other things will be used in large quantities.

Now there is no need to develop those biodegradable plastics, Tokyo fungus is directly in one step.

All in all, the effects of fungi in Tokyo have both disadvantages and advantages.

……

Of course, in the lobby of the Tokyo Hotel at this time, the Homo sapiens, who suffered the "most", naturally did not give up.

Now all parties present understand.

On the bright side, Homo sapiens must have been the one who suffered the most damage.

Cables, electrical appliances, computers, mobile phones, automobiles, airplanes, and communication equipment all over Southeast Asia need to be completely replaced.

Therefore, Wu Wei demanded that Dongying compensate Homo sapiens.

As the most bitter attendee, Yosuke Suzuki, the person in charge of Toei's side, looked at Victor and Edward with a nervous and hopeful expression, hoping that his father would shelter him.

Victor naturally would not allow his dog to be bullied by Homo sapiens, he shook his head and said:

"Minister Wu, it is impossible to ask Dongying to compensate 5 trillion gold yuan, after all, this matter is an accident."

Wu Wei was unceremoniously: "Hehe, do you Amerika want to help Dongying pay 5 trillion compensation?" They are your dogs, and it is normal for their owners to be jointly and severally liable. ”

Yosuke Suzuki's face turned red when he heard this, and he felt extremely humiliated and angry, but his strength was not as good as that of others, so he was not qualified to speak.

Although Victor didn't feel insulted, in order to save a little face for Dongying, he still explained with a straight face:

"Dongying is an ally of America, please ask Minister Wu Wei not to make a topic that is not related to the meeting."

"Then ask Dongying to compensate 5 trillion."

Victor directly refused: "This is impossible, how do you plan to explain the fact that you occupy a large number of islands in the Pacific Ocean for no reason?" ”

"If you think you can protect Dongying, then just give it a try, our company is so badly damaged this time, it is all caused by Dongying."

Baker of Britain hurriedly came out to play a round: "The compensation of 5 trillion is too much, how about 50 billion?" ”

This guy will bargain, and he will cut 99% directly.

Wu Wei slapped the table toughly: "It's just 5 trillion, and not a penny less." ”

Holding back his anger, Victor and Edward made eye contact for a few seconds, and Victor immediately spoke: "100 billion compensation, this is Dongying's bottom line." ”

"We, Homo sapiens, suffered such a serious loss, so we will compensate 100 billion? Do you send beggars? At least 4 trillion. ”

The two sides exchanged words for more than two hours, during which there were three intermissions.

After some extreme tugging, an agreement was finally reached.

Toei's Yosuke Suzuki made soy sauce throughout the whole process, watching America sacrifice Toei's interests to appease the anger of Homo sapiens.

According to the agreement, Toei compensated Homo sapiens 600 billion gold yuan, and admitted that the Tokyo fungus was researched by their researchers, and asked them to apologize to the world, and the relevant researchers, including Shosuke Yoshida, were all handed over to Homo sapiens.

Considering that Dongying did not have 600 billion gold yuan at this time, he replaced compensation with land.

Originally, Homo sapiens wanted to visit the Ogasawara Islands and Minamitorishima Islands in the central Pacific Ocean.

However, America is not stupid, once Homo sapiens get the Ogasawara Islands and Minamitorishima, it means that Homo sapiens have a foothold in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and can cut off the connection between Guam and the Ryukyu Islands and North America.

Therefore, the land for compensation was replaced by the Oki Islands on the west coast of the Toei Islands, a small archipelago isolated in the Whale Sea, which has no small strategic value, but no small trouble.

After all, there is no territory for Homo sapiens around the Whale Sea, and even Lucia is just a superficial friend of Homo sapiens.

Giving this small archipelago to Homo sapiens was actually a last resort.

After all, the other Tsushima Islands, the Ryukyu Islands, the Ogasawara Islands, and Minami-Torishima are too important.

Of course, since the value of the Oki Islands is not enough to offset the 600 billion gold yuan, Toei also needs to open the market to Homo sapiens and allow Homo sapiens ships to resupply in Toei's territory.

As for the South Pacific island countries annexed by Homo sapiens, America did not see it.

After all, now Homo sapiens is the "biggest" party in the fungal crisis, and in order to prevent Homo sapiens from continuing to go crazy, Homo sapiens can only default to swallowing these areas.

After reaching an agreement, all parties hurried home.

And after the outside world heard the results of this meeting, they also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is no fighting, everything is easy to say.

Immediately, the world strengthened the disinfection of planes and ships from Dongying, and at the same time prepared to upgrade the plastic industry.

Especially on the Homo sapiens side.

A large-scale trade-in campaign was launched to reduce losses, and a large proportion of the recycled plastics were sent to methane fermentation plants to make methane.
