After get off work, Lao Tiantou packed up his things and went home. His home was in a residential area near the factory area. Driven by this large petrochemical plant, various factories continued to pop up in the entire area, including plastics, clothes...all kinds of products related to petroleum. Chemical-related industries have established factories here, and the changes here can be said to be rapid.
But every time before going home, he would go to the river downstream of the reservoir to have a look. This is a habit he has formed in recent years.
More than ten years ago, this river was just a small tributary. The water came from several streams in the mountains. Although the water was not crystal clear, there were still many fish and shrimps, and many people came to the river to wash clothes.
, some even go to the deep rivers to swim and bathe.
However, things have changed since the Central Yunnan Water Diversion Project was launched. "In ancient times there was 'Yelang Zida', and today there is 'Central Yunnan Water Diversion'", this place has changed. A water diversion channel about 480 kilometers long has diverted water from the Jinsha River here, and then
A tall dam stands upstream, forming a reservoir and becoming the water intake point for this large petrochemical plant and surrounding factories.
Over time, countless amounts of wastewater began to be discharged into the lower reaches of the river.
Although this wastewater is discharged only after wastewater treatment is carried out in strict accordance with environmental protection standards, there are some idioms called rope sawing the wood, water dripping through the stone, and the embankment of a thousand miles bursting in the ant nest. Although it has been strictly controlled and treated wastewater, it is still
It's wastewater, and it still contains some substances that are harmful to the human body.
One month, maybe there is no problem; half a year, maybe there is no problem; one year, maybe there is no problem; two years, maybe there is no problem... But more than ten years later, even if there is constant running water to wash away these harmful substances, there will always be
There are some harmful substances that have been accumulated for more than ten years. How can they be really safe and healthy?
I remember that back then, this river had countless children playing in the water, fish and shrimp swimming, and under the sunlight, the river shone with golden light and was full of vitality.
But now, this river has long lost the fresh and beautiful taste of the past, and has become turbid, a veritable flowing stagnant water.
Lao Tiantou sighed and left slowly. His back was a little hunched, and the sun was setting, making his shadow longer.
The residential area is just downstream of the river. Most of the residents here are factory workers and their families. People who do not work in this factory area have already moved to live elsewhere.
Moreover, as the environment has become increasingly bad in recent years, more and more people have begun to resign and leave this place that was once known as Spring City.
After returning home, my son, daughter-in-law, and wife were all waiting at home. At this time, there were many dishes and wine placed on the dining table in the hall.
The retirement of Lao Tiantou obviously made the whole family very happy. The atmosphere at the dinner table was festive, harmonious and lively.
"Dad, you will retire tomorrow. Do you want to move out to a neighboring city?" During the meal, my son felt that the atmosphere was about the same, so he brought this up. He has mentioned it several times in the past few years and wants to
Let the two old people leave this place where the environment is extremely bad.
Lao Tiantou did not refuse as seriously as the previous times, but said happily: "Okay, but we have to think about the place to move."
"Well, Banna is now the most livable city. I heard that the density of vitality there is several times higher than outside, and the vegetation coverage rate has reached 80%. It is very suitable for living there. I heard that many elderly people have already
He has reached the age of 100, and the new-born children are smarter and very healthy." As the son spoke, a look of envy appeared on his face.
The other three people were also listening attentively, with eager eyes. They also knew that Banna had become very beautiful, and there were many rare animals and rare flowers and plants, so they also yearned for it very much.
"But I heard that the threshold for household registration there is very high, and the Banna government has already restricted the number of household registrations, so it is probably very difficult for us to apply," my daughter-in-law said with disappointment.
"Well, I actually forgot about this."
"However, we can go to other cities and counties, and I heard that vitality trees have appeared in those places. As long as there are vitality trees, we can enjoy the nourishment of vitality, be healthy, and may even become supermen.
"Speaking of this, my son became a little excited.
"Okay, although it's not as good as Banna, it's better than living in this ghost place. I haven't seen a blue sky for several years." Old Tiantou's wife supported that if her wife hadn't worked here, she would have
I just want to move away.
"Well, tomorrow I will go to various cities and counties where the Vitality Tree appears to inspect, and then decide on a location." The son suddenly became happy when he heard that the old man agreed.
"I suggest that after my father retires, the whole family should take a trip to Banna to see if it is so magical."
"I heard that there are a lot of entertainment projects in Lila County, and the legendary leopard often goes shopping in Lila County to buy candies, clothes and so on. It's very magical. Also, we can go and see it there.
Bread woods, tree houses and so on..."
The daughter-in-law kept talking excitedly, and the other three people were deeply attracted by what she heard. Their eyes were filled with endless longing, and they even forgot to eat.
"Okay, let's travel first and then find a place to live. Anyway, the registration process is not that fast." Lao Tiantou was also very excited at this time. After retirement, his heart is no longer bound and he wants to be free.
Flying.
The future is so beautiful...
The next day, Lao Tiantou finished his breakfast and went out to work. It was past 7 o'clock at this time, and the sun had just risen. The thick gray fog blocked the sun, and the sunlight shining on Lao Tiantou had a hint of haze.
Lao Tiantou looked around and saw that the factory area was dusty and dusty. Some high-altitude chimneys continued to spit out smoke, and the whole sky was gray.
Thinking of the information I had read about Banna tourism with great interest yesterday, I saw lush green mountains, mirror-blue waves, clear skies, and flocks of birds.
"This is really a hellish place..." Lao Tiantou couldn't help but cursed.
The handover of work in Lao Tiantou went very smoothly. Many things have been clearly explained to Pan Jian on weekdays. What should be handed over has been handed over. What should be entrusted has been entrusted. I have also met with the leaders. I think it will be done tomorrow.
Traveling to Banna and enjoying the green world that I haven't enjoyed in more than ten years, Lao Tiantou couldn't help but smile.
It's time to get off work soon.
"Come on, Lao Tiantou, let's celebrate for you! Let's have a few drinks!" Pan Jian came over at this time. The handover was smooth today and there were no problems, which made him very happy.
"Okay!!" Lao Tiantou replied cheerfully. However, when he left, he still looked at his office with a bit of reluctance. When he walked out of the factory gate, he didn't forget to look back.
"A place that has been here for more than ten years..." Thinking of leaving today, Lao Tiantou couldn't help but sigh.
"Old Tiantou, do you have any plans for the future?" Pan Jian asked.
"Haha, my son has made a decision for me to leave here and live elsewhere. He will also travel to Banna tomorrow. I heard there are many magical things there." Thinking of tomorrow's trip, Lao Tiantou finally felt less sad in his heart.
Pan Jian and several others raised their thumbs at the same time and congratulated him.
"boom!!"
At this moment, a very loud roar suddenly erupted in the factory, which made several people who said they were going to celebrate went deaf. Several people turned around in shock and looked at the place where the sound came from.
A huge pillar of fire, more than 60 meters high, shot out, turning half of the sky red with black smoke billowing.
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
Immediately afterwards, there were several violent explosions in the factory, and one of the oil storage tanks more than 30 meters high could clearly be seen exploding.
Lao Tiantou only felt that an extremely bright fireball appeared there, and the strong light illuminated his eyes, making him unable to open them. Moreover, his exposed skin felt hot.
Then you can clearly see a wave of ripples appearing from the place where the explosion occurred and expanding rapidly, and soon it reached Laotangtou. Laotangtou felt his body being pushed by a huge force, leaving the ground in an instant, and then fell to the ground.
Countless objects were swept up by the air waves.
Then there were bursts of explosions, fireballs continued to explode, and the bright light was painful.
Lao Tiantou and other people sat on the ground like logs, staring blankly at the billowing smoke in the factory area and the fierce fire that continued to rage.
"No, I have to put out the fire!" Lao Tiantou rushed in without saying a word, even though he felt that the chance of success was slim. But when he thought about the spread of the explosion, the entire factory would be destroyed, and the tens of thousands of tons of raw materials would be destroyed.
If it is leaked, Kunyue City will become a dead city full of various harmful substances.
"No, absolutely not like this!" His love for his hometown drove him to bravely rush to the place where the explosion occurred.
Several other people looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and quickly rushed over...
Residential areas and other factory areas were in a state of excitement, all shocked by the huge explosion.
In less than half an hour, countless fire trucks and firefighters came here one after another, and the sirens kept blaring.
Two hours later, the military base also dispatched tens of thousands of troops to organize fire fighting and disaster relief.
That night, news about the accident at this large petrochemical plant was leaked to the Internet. Tens of millions of netizens were instantly shocked by the news.
"It can not be!"
"It must be a lie!"
"I'm from Kunyue City, don't scare me..."
"If it's true, Kunyue City will be miserable! We will be miserable too!"
Soon, countless videos, pictures and captions were posted online. The thick smoke rising into the sky, the huge fire that lit up half the sky, and the countless soldiers all proved that the news was true.
"My mother is from there. After learning the news, she cried and fainted..."
"I'm going back to provide disaster relief tomorrow!"
"Condolences to the lost workers!"
