When Heimerdinger and Victor, who were studying chemical production equipment, heard Chen Mu asking about chemical wastewater and domestic wastewater, Heimerdinger was confused and Victor was surprised.
"There should be someone responsible for this, right?" Heimerdinger replied.
He is obsessed with studying science.
The sweet smell of science fascinated him!
Heimerdinger even carries the title of Speaker of Piltover, but he doesn't like to get involved in Piltover's trivial matters.
Victor looked at Chen Mu with a strange look in his eyes, and he replied: "Dean, Mr. Chen Mu is right! All the industrial wastewater and excrement in Pi City are poured into Zaun without treatment.
.”
"What?" Heimerdinger looked at Victor in surprise: "I remember that Piltover has a special company to treat sewage?"
Victor sighed, shook his head and said: "Dean, I am a Zaunian, and I know that Pi City's wastewater has been dumped into Zaun. This bad phenomenon has been going on for more than a hundred years."
Heimerdinger gasped.
He came to his bookshelf, jumped up and down on his short legs, and found that he could not reach the books on the shelf.
"Victor, please do me a favor. There, right...it's the book that contains Piltover's financial budget!"
Victor handed a copy of Piltover's financial grant project book to his dean.
Heimerdinger is one of the founders of Piltover and knows a lot about some things.
Just like sewage treatment, he always thought that these things were transferred to Zaun and then properly treated!
Look at the project book, it says the same thing!
Then why did Victor tell Chen Mu that all the sewage in Zaun was dumped into Zaun?
"Mr. Chen Mu, the council allocates tens of thousands of gold coins every year to treat chemical wastewater and sewage. No one will dump these things into Zaun, right?"
Chen Mu shrugged his shoulders: "Dean Heimerdinger, while we were spreading knowledge during this period, we accidentally saw the Picheng people killing several Zaun people. Can I tell you about this in detail?"
"How many Zaans were killed?"
"Yes, these words are very long, I need to tell them bit by bit!"
Heimerdinger jumped to his exclusive seat and listened quietly to Chen Mu's explanation.
Over the past month, they have often exchanged scientific knowledge like this.
Hearing Chen Mu talk about Zuan, Victor took the initiative to serve Chen Mu tea and water.
"Thank you!" Chen Mu stood up to get the water and took a slow sip: "The dean should know about the business done by our Eastern Tang people, right?"
Heimerdinger twitched his beard and his face was filled with joy: "Yes, in addition to the broadcasts that enrich people's lives, your drinks and food are really unique."
Chen Mu laughed loudly: "Thank you, Dean, for your compliment. Water is the source of life, and our specialty drinks are very popular in Pi City."
"I like the Coke you make the most. It's very delicious. Poro and I both like it!" Heimerdinger expressed his love for a certain drink.
Chen Mu smiled with satisfaction and said: "Water is a very precious resource. People cannot live without water. Many sad things have happened to us because of water problems, so we, the people of Tang Dynasty, are very concerned about the environment and water quality."
"There is an old saying in our hometown that goes, 'Mountains of gold and silver are not as good as green mountains and clear waters.'"
Hearing this, Victor was shocked!
"Mr. Dean, Mr. Victor, any industrial production is inseparable from water and energy. Water pollution is a very troublesome problem. Even when producing delicious drinks, some wastewater will be produced in the process."
"When we were building the factory, we paid great attention to environmental protection! Three days ago, when my technicians and I were investigating a newly built beverage factory, we discovered that a police officer was arresting a teenager, a Zaun boy."
The two of them listened silently!
"This kid was driven and arrested by the police for stealing drinks."
"It is definitely wrong for a child to steal. He tried to escape and resist, but the police officer directly shot and threatened the other person, causing him to panic and choose his way out."
"Do you know the final fate of that child?"
Heimerdinger and Victor shook their heads.
"The child had his neck and respiratory tract suppressed by the police officer because he could not breathe on his own, and then died of violent arrest."
Victor clenched his fists angrily, and Heimerdinger's beard and eyebrows were trembling violently.
After they heard the news with their own ears, they were in a terrible mood.
"The child's crime was not worthy of death, but the law enforcement officer went too far. Although we were angry, we remained rational at the time, but we are very curious about the identity of the deceased."
"Curiosity is the driving force for scientific progress and the driving force for investigating the truth!"
Speaking of this, Chen Mu said slowly: "The people of Picheng are very wealthy and well-dressed, while the people of Zaun are muddy and dirty. We always thought that this was caused by the gap between rich and poor. But our investigation found that
, but it’s more than that!”
Victor's breathing was a little rapid.
"The young man who was killed was called Floyd, and he was a worker in a chemical wastewater treatment plant. His salary was 90 Silver Sea Coins (Silver Snake Coins) per month. This kind of salary can only fill your stomach in Pi City!
And his job is to treat wastewater without wearing any protective measures, which is very harmful to the body. In our country, this is even classified as murder."
Heimerdinger's beard trembled violently, and his big eyes were full of doubts: "Don't the governors of Piltover handle these matters?"
Chen Mu shook his head: "It's not that we don't deal with it, but that we are used to it. The people of Zaun have been in this kind of environment for generations, and they think it is reasonable! But we know that this is abnormal. To verify, we investigated the industry of Pi City
Sewage treatment system. We also investigated the salaries and occupations of Zaunites."
"Everyone knows the wages of Piltover people. Even the monthly salary of ordinary workers is 10 gold sea coins, while the Zaun people only have 90 silver sea coins. This kind of salary difference is 11 times!"
"This is a very unreasonable wage system, but we are only investigating Freud."
"After some investigation, we found out why Floyd stole. He had a sister who liked Coke, but his sister was sick!"
Heimerdinger's face was solemn, and Victor was uneasy!
"Floyd's sister was only 4 years old this year. They depended on each other for life. Because of her illness, almost all of Floyd's salary was used to treat his sister. Unfortunately, with Floyd's death, there was no one to take care of his sister.
Got it!"
Chen Mu sighed: "In a humanitarian spirit, we rescued Floyd's sister, Mengsha, who was only 4 years old. But we discovered something very shocking. Mengsha's body was infected with heavy metals, and she was slightly infected.
Lung disease, cold, body edema.”
"Oh my god, that is such a poor child!" Heimerdinger opened his mouth. Victor also looked at Chen Mu with worry on his face.
"Fortunately, we have some treatment methods that can save Mengsha, but we are very curious about the cause of Mengsha!"
Speaking of this, Chen Mu shrugged: "Please forgive the persistence of a sophisticated person. From the mouth of 4-year-old Mengsha, we learned that she has many such companions, and these people all suffer from various diseases.
!The problem here is huge.”
"After several days of investigation, we discovered the reason why the child was like this. This is because Piltover brutally dumped all kinds of industrial wastewater, heavy metal impurities, domestic wastewater, and human excrement... all into another area: Zu.
install!"
Heimerdinger looked at Chen Mu in disbelief.
Doesn’t Piltover spend tens of thousands of gold sea coins every year to deal with water pollution?
Could it be that tens of thousands of gold sea coins cannot deal with these pollutants?
Looking at the shocked people, Chen Mu shook his head: "The people of Zu'an...ah, their life is so miserable! Their lives and health are tortured by chemical waste, endure stench and filth, and endure all kinds of heavy metal pollution. This has seriously damaged their lives."
Threatening the health of the Zaun people, in our country, this is even murder."
"What's even more heartbreaking is that the Zaun people have been living in this kind of place. They take it for granted."
"This...?" Hearing that Piltover was plotting to murder the Zaans, Heimerdinger felt upset and dizzy.
Heimerdinger is a yordle who loves research and invention.
He has loved science all his life and paid little attention to other things. He is a kind-hearted yordle.
He is different from the extreme little mage Vega!
"Water pollution is a very troublesome thing! Industrial pollution occurred in Dongtu Datang. That was because we lacked experience in governance. Because of neglect, hundreds of thousands of residents in several towns were harmed by polluted water sources.
We have to endure heavy metal pollution every day..."
Chen Mu told about some chemical pollution in the main world, as well as the cases of residents becoming infected and suffering from disease.
These things really happened, Chen Mu's eloquence was pretty good, and Victor and Heimerdinger had a very high level of empathy after hearing this.
There were tears shining in the corners of Heimerdinger's eyes.
In just a few minutes, he made up his mind: "Victor, are you sure that all chemical pollution and residential sewage in Piltover are discharged to Zaun?"
Victor looked at Chen Mu with complicated emotions.
He stood up and saluted Heimerdinger: "Dean, I use my personality and academic skills to guarantee that what Chen Mu said is true! It is not just a day or two that Piltover dumps chemical wastewater and garbage.
It’s something that happened, but something that lasted for more than a hundred years.”
Heimerdinger's eyes suddenly widened: "More than a hundred years? Poor Zaun people, how much suffering have they suffered in the past hundred years? They are so pitiful!"
"Yes, because Piltover endlessly discharged these garbage, the Zaun people were deeply persecuted, which caused the Zaun people to hate the Piltover people very much. Dean, do you know about the bridge collision incident three years ago?"
Heimerdinger's eyebrows waggled: "Is this why the Zaans rushed across the bridge?"
"You can say that, but this is only one of the reasons!" Chen Mu nodded. "The people of Zaun are living a very hard life. Their demands have never been ignored by Piltover, which has led to the increasing conflict between Zaun and Piltover.
increase."
Heimerdinger's eyes were filled with tears: "We want to help the Zaans!"
Chen Mu next to him was a little confused when he saw Heimerdinger's scene.
The yordles are too easy to deceive, right?
Heimerdinger rubbed his eyes, then looked at Victor: "Victor, why have I never heard you talk about the difficulties you encountered in Zaun!"
