Chapter 190: A Glimpse of a Strange Change
Satellite radios mixed with the sound of electricity are broadcasting the latest international news.
The sound of the waves crashing against the reef is still in my ears.
Gino Peruz, who was doing research with his team on a desert island in the Pacific Ocean, did not follow everyone, but stood alone on the shore.
The sadness is palpable.
He can be said to be an expert in nuclear radiation, and this time he was invited by an environmental group to assist in scientific research on a small island in the center of the Pacific.
But the news on the radio made him feel lost.
"There are always people who have no fear of all this."
Peruz looked at the endless sea in the distance with a confused expression, and couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Is it really useful to have spent my life working around the world to set up various organizations to oversee the development of nuclear energy?
Thinking about it, his obviously sparse white hair fluttered in the salty sea breeze.
Seagulls skimmed across the horizon in the distance.
Peruz's thoughts couldn't help but drift a little away.
Perhaps the greatest lesson humanity can learn from history is that humanity never learns from history.
Peruz never imagined that someone would voluntarily discharge nuclear sewage into the sea, which is simply disregard for the safety of billions of human lives.
Others may have forgotten.
But he will never forget that day.
The 30-meter-tall pillar of fire lifted the shell of the reactor, and the super-strong radiation air jet was sprayed into the air, and the high-energy radiation particles formed a huge pillar of light and soared into the sky.
The earth-shattering bang in 1986 forced a country full of evils to send countless lives to fill it.
Countless ghost-like ultra-high-intensity radiation particles mercilessly pierced through their flesh and blood!
In this largest nuclear catastrophe in human history, there are lies and death, pain and parting, and even more so dedication and fearlessness.
Eventually, a costly concrete sarcophagus covered the No. 4 reactor, and the radioactive material leak was stopped, bringing mankind's largest nuclear disaster to a difficult end.
As a clean-up participant in the accident, Peruz had a much longer and healthier lifespan than the other survivors.
This is both fortunate and unfortunate.
Fortunately, he lived to be sixty years old, almost in good health. The radiation does not seem to have left any traces on his body, except for some of the effects of hair loss.
His whole style of painting is very different from the other survivors of that accident.
But unfortunately, now at the age of 60, he is tormented by mental pain all day long.
Those who rushed to the center of the disaster together.
Or it would have rotted directly in front of him in the first place.
Or he died painfully in the years he survived, so he could only watch his friends leave through the glass of the isolation medical room.
This made Peruz feel tormented.
Therefore, he tried his best to participate in various nuclear energy development events.
As a volunteer, he used his meager strength to supervise the development of human nuclear energy, which became his way to relieve his suffering.
But when he set up various organizations, large and small, in various places, when he gradually realized that his decades of efforts were effective......
The reality was that it slapped him in the face.
A certain country has no regard for the interests of mankind, nor does it care about social condemnation, and it has never cared at all about the protests of his small individual on the Internet.
They resolutely chose to discharge nuclear sewage into the sea, just to save some of the cost of treating nuclear wastewater.
Such behavior will inevitably have an unknown and far-reaching impact on the entire human society.
Remembering the news I heard today, a certain official said that "to travel to their country, you must eat ten snails in the sea of nuclear sewage", Peruz was angry and wanted to tear the bastard's mouth.
If this kind of discharge continues, it is not certain who will eat whom.
It's a pity that no matter how angry Peruz is, it can't have any impact on this matter.
Looking at the still blue waters in the distance, Peruz knew that it would soon be flooded with nuclear radiation due to the influence of monsoons and ocean currents, or that the sea area would already be affected.
After all, the deserted island in the Pacific Ocean, where Peruz is currently located, is facing the direction of the discharge of nuclear sewage and will be the first stop affected by radiation.
And this radiation propagation will not stop, and may reach every corner of the world along the path of the natural material cycle.
They put in countless lives to stop the spread of nuclear disasters around the world, and this country started such a spread at will.
For Pandora's Box.
They don't have the slightest bit of awe.
"Alas......"
With a leisurely sigh, Peruz turned and walked to his cabin.
Perhaps, in the future, I can stop working hard for nuclear control?
No!
The dead souls whispered in his ears that he must not give in.
As soon as the idea of giving up appeared, Peruz rejected it without hesitation.
In silence, Peruz closed the door to the cabin.
First he turned off the radio with the frowning news, and then he began to quietly pack his clothes and luggage.
He came to the area to study the environment of this coastal forest with an emerging environmental group in the state of America, and to study how much human activity has affected this uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean.
In today's view, it seems that all this is no longer necessary, and the greatest and most terrifying human impact is already on the horizon.
He planned to get out of here as soon as possible, use his contacts over the years to mobilize a ship to pick him up as soon as possible, and then go to the country that discharged nuclear sewage to try to make his last efforts and struggle.
No matter how small his power is!
As for the members of the American environmental group who are doing their research in the jungle of the island, Peruz plans to say goodbye when they return.
Thinking so, Peruz sped up a few points in packing his luggage.
But right now.
There was a knock on the door of the hut.
Peruz raised an eyebrow, and there was no laughter from the usual laughter of a few lively young girls in the team, as if it was not the team that was busy researching in the island's forests had returned.
After a moment of silence, Peruz opened the wooden door.
There was only one person standing in front of him, and it was none other than the captain of the environmental group - Solomon Burke.
A graduate of an Ivy League university, he has held a number of key positions in environmental organizations in North America and has volunteered to protect the environment.
"Why is it that you're back alone, Mr. Burke?"
Peruz squinted his eyes and asked subconsciously.
In these days, he felt that Solomon Burke was an extremely responsible captain, and he was very careful and excellent in the process of personally leading the team to conduct scientific research on the remote island in the Pacific Ocean this time.
Whether it is the identification of wild plants or the repelling of wild animals; Whether it's the skills you show when you survive camping, or the physical strength you don't have to breathe when carrying a large bag or a small bag......
Excellent in every way.
At this time, Captain Burke should be by the side of the large army to ensure the smooth progress of scientific research and the safety of personnel.
It stands to reason that he would not easily leave the many members of the team in the jungle and suddenly come to his safe side of the team.
"I have something I want to say to you, senior."
"I wonder if my seniors are interested in coming out with me?"
Burke smiled politely.
With such a polite smile hanging on that sturdy body, it doesn't look a little weird.
The so-called predecessor in his mouth is naturally Peruz.
Hearing this, Peruz frowned, and then walked out of the cabin with a nod.
After closing the door to the cabin, Peruz followed Burke all the way out of the campground.
The two were silent along the way.
It wasn't until he reached the edge of the coastline that Burke stopped and looked at Peruz.
Looking at the old man who had rushed to the center of the disaster against the crowd, Burke had a respectful and serious expression on his face.
"Senior, were you packing your bags just now?"
Burke looked at the old man, whose gray hair was a little sparse and withered, and asked in a serious tone.
"Yes, I'm going to tell you when you're done today. I will contact the ship as soon as possible and leave within these two days. ”
"As for the radiation change measurement that needs to be done by me, I will do it in a few days."
Peruz had nothing to hide and decisively admitted the fact that he was leaving.
There are some things that he must try.
Otherwise, he would not have dreamed of stability.
"Are you going to that island country?"
Burke looked at Peruz in front of him with a serious look and spoke slowly.
Peruz was shocked at first, then nodded abruptly.
The other side knew that he was a clean-up participant in the disaster, and he also knew that he had been running for nuclear control for half his life.
Thinking about it in conjunction with the recent international news, it is not surprising to guess his own purpose.
"Yes, no matter what the result is, I'm going to give it a try."
Peruz's tone was unusually firm.
Such a firm tone was as firm as when he first rushed into the radiation zone.
"Well, maybe you need a helper."
"Or rather, our organization needs an experienced help like yours."
Burke uttered this sentence.
That's what he's here for.
And this sentence also made Peruz stunned.
"You're going to help me?"
"No...... right"
"Do you need me to help you?"
Peruz was a little confused, not knowing what Burke meant by these words.
Who the hell is this talking about?
"I mean ......"
"We now have a common purpose, and we need professionals like you to join."
Burke explained.
This time, the explanation finally made Peruz in front of him react.
"Do you Blue Planet environmental protection organizations also want to speak out for this nuclear sewage incident?"
Peruz's eyes lit up.
One more person is naturally one more strength, and cooperation at this moment is naturally indispensable.
In the case of a collapse of public opinion...... Maybe it can put some pressure on the officials of that island nation?
"No, it's not just the Blue Planet that you're working with."
"There are also Friends of the Earth, The Nature Conservancy, Greenpeace, Western European Youth for Ecological Protection, the Wald Conservation Alliance, the Green Party, UNEP and many other environmental organisations."
"In addition, there are many organizations with international influence such as the WHO, the International Atomic Energy Organization, the Ocean Economic Cooperation Organization, the International Scientific Organization, and the Ocean Convention Organization."
"There are also many major countries that will work together."
Burke reported a large number of names, which obviously made Peruz in front of him stunned.
Each of these organizations is much larger than the various small organizations related to nuclear energy control that he has been promoting and creating for half his life.
Each of them has international influence, unlike him who can only give speeches in small cities.
With so many organizations speaking out together, it's not just public opinion that's not just one-sided.
It is the real coercion of the general trend and the suppression of power.
Peruz felt he saw hope of succeeding in stopping that country from continuing to discharge nuclear wastewater.
Merely......
"You can represent the will of so many organizations?"
Peruz couldn't help but wonder.
Humans have always been good at fighting in the nest.
Even in the face of such a situation in which the interests of all mankind are at stake, it is difficult for everyone to clench their fists and work together.
"Now let's get to know each other officially."
"My name is Solomon Burke, and I am one of the first full members of the Eternal Day. Currently, he is a member of the North Asia and American Branch, and serves as a key member of major environmental organizations. ”
"I've just received a mission to invite you to become a peripheral member of our Eternal Day."
"With us, you don't need to worry about the things that oppress that country, and you don't need to worry about punishing those who do the wrong things."
"What you have to do is what you did in the first place, and help us deal with matters related to the nuclear catastrophe that has already been caused. Because of the assistance of some of our means, your workload and danger will not be too great. ”
Solomon Burke said, inadvertently straightening his chest, apparently subconsciously revealing pride in his identity.
Hearing this, Peruz swallowed.
He didn't know what Eternal Day was, but based on the conversation so far, Burke's Eternal Day seemed to be a behemoth.
It is the presence behind numerous environmental organizations.
It is the existence that can make the major powers abandon their previous suspicions.
Burke seems to have no doubt about a future where the discharge of nuclear waste will be easily stopped because of the so-called eternal day.
And it also seems to have the ability to easily deal with the nuclear contamination that has already been caused.
Even when it comes to the top officials of a country that make such decisions to discharge nuclear wastewater, Burke is downplaying words that will punish him.
No matter how you look at it, this eternal day is a super organization beyond his imagination.
Peruz is not an idiot.
But he believed that Burke, who had been doing so well these days, was not stupid.
More importantly, he prefers to believe that there really is such an organization.
So, he intends to believe in the existence of this organization.
and agreed to Burke's invitation to become a peripheral member of Eternal Day.
But just as he was about to speak.
A loud sound of waves crashing came from the sea in the distance.
Peruz, who followed the prestige, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and subconsciously pointed to the sea and said, "Do you include such a situation in the follow-up incidents of nuclear contamination that you have assisted?" ”
Burke, who was also following the prestige, was silent.
I saw that a tail on the surface of the sea was slowly sinking into the sea, setting off a wave.
It was a huge tail with a row of horned spines, more than 100 meters long.
Each triangular horn thorn shimmered with a faint blue light, and it seemed to be filled with an aura of extreme danger.
Soon, the whole tail was submerged in the sea.
The sea also gradually calmed down in a ripple.
It's as if nothing happened.
Burke swallowed, looking at Peruz, who was still in a daze, and realized that his plan to tell him about his otherworldly existence might need to be slightly modified.
Of course, the most important thing is not this.
Instead, I immediately want to report the existence of this Godzilla-like monster!
