Chapter 177: Visiting and Prophecy
Kaichi took Legoni to the ironworks of the United Chamber of Commerce, the blast furnaces of the United Chamber of Commerce were even taller, but they did not have the gray and black columns of smoke that rushed into the clouds like those small chambers of commerce.
Jia Yi took him to the bottom of the blast furnace and pointed to the blast furnace: "You see, the blast furnace of the United Chamber of Commerce is not polluted, and the exhaust gas discharged is very clean, only the dust raised when the iron ore is crushed is slightly larger, but it will not have much impact." Your pollution over there in Leizhou is that they cut corners, not that there is something wrong with the blast furnace. ”
He took Legoni to the sewage treatment tank: "Our sewage here is also all treated, first triple filtration, gravel, sand and activated carbon, then the heavy metal ions dissolved in the water are purified and precipitated, and finally the purification array is used to treat the sewage as much as possible, even if it is fish farming." ”
Following in the footsteps of Jia Yi, the sewage will become clearer every time it passes through a pool, and after the last pool, the sewage will completely become as clear and clean as a mountain spring.
In the end, there were really a few goldfish in the pond where the water was released, but I don't know if they were put in temporarily or long ago.
"You're doing a good job here, but Leizhou is completely different from here, and the sewage and acrid smoke fill the entire area of the ironworks, making people think they've arrived in the legendary hell. ”
Jia Yi said: "Those people are not easy to manage, they have tasted the sweetness now, and it is unlikely that they want to give up the blast furnace, it depends on how the council decides." ”
Thinking of Thunder Continent, Legoni was still a little indignant, and said: "If it continues, I am not sure that the druids of Thunder Continent can continue to ensure restraint, they have gone too far, the Supreme Council should stop them and destroy all blast furnaces." ”
"I'm afraid the Supreme Council doesn't have that right, and neither do the elves and druids. ”
Suddenly, a domineering voice came, this sentence was not said by Jia Yi, he and Legoni looked back at the same time, and hurriedly saluted.
"Lord Wilmot. ”
Wilmot let the two of them get up, and then said, "Although the Supreme Council is nominally the administrator of all mages, we can't force anything to do to the rest of the mages, unless they first violate the rules of the council, or threaten the security of the world. Unfortunately, there are no rules in Parliament for something as new as a blast furnace. The reason why the Supreme Council was able to grow and have such a transcendent status was because there were few rules and little interference with mages. ”
In the management of mages, it is clear that the Supreme Council believes in the rule of inaction, as long as it is not explicitly forbidden, it is allowed, at least not punished for it.
"Isn't this pollution a threat to the safety of the whole world? In the polluted area, human beings cannot live a stable life, and there are no crops growing there. ”
Legoni was a little dissatisfied, but in the face of a legendary mage, he didn't dare to vent his dissatisfaction.
"You can't wait for the pollution to expand and spread to another sea of death. One of the most important reasons for the expansion of the Sea of Death is that the overgrazing near the Sea of Death, especially the grazing goats, has eaten a large area of turf, and the goats have gnawed on the roots, causing the Sea of Death to spread outward. If this continues, the entire northern edge of Lei Continent will become a sea of sand. The harm that humans do to nature is too severe. ”
"Well, I'll say, not all of them live near the desert sea, most of them are Ned, not the same race as humans, and they are closer to your elves. ”
Jiayi was a little dissatisfied and blamed humans for everything, humans are also a part of nature, all for better survival, and each race has a different way of surviving. But in fact, the Ned elves don't really have much to do with it, it's similar to two people with the surname Wang, maybe it was really a family 500 years ago, but now it has nothing to do with it.
Wilmot clearly liked what Kaichi had to say, and gave him an appreciative look.
He continued: "Of course we will not sit idly by, but certainly not as simple and crude as you say, you have seen the blast furnace here, as long as the way it is done, the pollution of the blast furnace can be controlled." ”
Legoni smiled reluctantly: "Hopefully." ”
Jia Yi took Legoni on a tour of the blast furnace ironworks, street lamps and radio, both of which had become a feature of the Supreme Council. The second phase of the street lamp project is much larger than the first phase, and because of the road construction, the road has become much congested now.
After settling Legoni, Kaichi came to Wilmot's office again, but he didn't expect that in addition to Wilmot, even Magnay and Magni were there.
Jia Yi was about to quit when he was stopped by Wilmot: "You came just in time, we are going to make a prediction about this time, you can also come and have a look." ”
As Jia Yi stood to the side cautiously, he heard Wilmot ask: "Do you have any opinion on this incident? The blast furnace you built has already treated the waste gas and wastewater, why do you insist on doing this? This is not a businessman's practice." ”
The treatment of sewage and exhaust gas adds a lot of costs, and most of the mine owners who build small blast furnaces will not build pollution treatment devices even if they get a full set of information about Jiayi's blast furnaces. The mine owners don't live in the mines, or even in Leizhou, and don't care about the impact of pollution.
"Because I'm not a businessman. Jia Yi replied with a smile, not too nervous, "I have always paid attention to the pollution of the environment in human activities, hoping to ensure the stability of the environment to the greatest extent." No one wants to live in foul air, and the water they drink smells bad. I've heard a word called sustainability, and I think it's the same for mages. ”
The core of sustainable development is development, and if he can, he certainly hopes that the environmental pollution in the process of development can be smaller, pollution is like a disease, and the sooner it is treated, the less impact it will have.
"Do you think it's important to deal with all this pollution? With these blast furnaces, the price of iron ingots in Moshacher has dropped a lot. ”
Wilmot was a little afraid that disposing of these small blast furnaces would make the iron ingots that had fallen down more expensive again.
"If you let the inhabitants of Moshacher know that it's because you make it impossible for them to buy cheap ironware, I'm afraid you won't be so popular in Moshacher. Magnay said with a little smile on his face, wondering how Jia Yi would answer.
Jiayi organized the language and said: "Environmental pollution can not be ignored, such as the exhaust gas produced by ironmaking, which contains a large amount of metal dust, as well as various toxic pollutants, especially many iron ores contain sulfur with a high composition, which will produce sulfur dioxide in the blast furnace, and after the concentration reaches a certain level, it will encounter rain in the air to form acid rain, so that the plants on the ground cannot survive, and the dust will also form haze, and it will be easier to get diseases in this environment." If left untreated, when the environmental pollution is out of control, the air will be filled with a pungent smell, and the river will become a stinky ditch, in which the fish and shrimp will die, in this environment, it will not be easy for human beings to survive, without the human foundation, it doesn't matter if the mage is gone, unless everyone is transformed into an undead.
"And now there is actually less resistance to treatment, the current blast furnace has not been built for too long, the environmental pollution has not reached the point of being out of control, and the impact on life is now limited. When these mine owners with blast furnaces become bigger, the impact of wanting to deal with them will be greater.
"As for the inhabitants of Moshacher, I don't think they will blame me, because it was the Supreme Council that really intervened, and what had to do with one of my little white-robed mages. ”
Seeing Jia Yi's scoundrel appearance, everyone present laughed, indeed, the real appearance must be the Supreme Council, and it will have nothing to do with Jia Yi.
Wilmot said: "Your proposal is very interesting, especially sustainability, and it's worth discussing. I'll make a prophecy that if it's really as serious as you say, then the Supreme Council will intervene with the elves. ”
Wilmot took out a crystal ball and put it on the table, and gently touched it with his right hand, the crystal ball emitted a burst of bright light, and then the whole room seemed to change the environment, becoming a green grassy meadow, but this meadow was very illusory, like a huge 3D projection.
And then it's like fast-forward in the movie, people appear in the meadows, villages appear, villages develop into cities, blast furnaces are built in cities, and other industrial buildings are constantly emitting sewage and exhaust gases, cities are getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more people, but there are fewer and fewer plants, wild animals are gradually disappearing, sewage makes the water in the river no longer drinkable, even the fish and shrimp in the river are gradually extinct, and the corpses are floating all over the river.
In the face of the harsh environment, people in the city are becoming more and more susceptible to illness and physical weakness. And there is a terrible thing, no one in the city has become a full-fledged mage for decades, and even the apprentices are slowly getting fewer and fewer. Their weak bodies were no longer able to support their magical studies, and the harsh environment prevented them from sensing magical elements. When they meditate, all they feel is the pungent polluted air, and they don't feel any magical elements at all.
As time went on, a large-scale epidemic broke out in the whole city, and in this epidemic that affected the whole city, because of the lack of mages, they could not do anything about the epidemic, and the whole city was destroyed in one fell swoop, leaving only a few fish that slipped through the net to survive, not knowing if they could rebuild civilization.
Only one ruin shows the prosperity of this place.
