The legend of Tiga

Chapter 213 Marine Pollution and Mass Earthquakes

The small victorious team couldn't hide the news at all, and soon the whole team knew about the happy event of the Xincheng family, and even Zongfang, who had always been serious, smiled, and Captain Ju Jianhui generously gave Xincheng two days off to let him But before meeting Tuomo, I have time to buy a better set of clothes and dress myself up.

Such a "big fight" was so concerned by his teammates, which made Xincheng a little embarrassed. He even claimed that it was not necessary, but he was still very moved.

It's a pity that the emotion didn't last until the afternoon, when she received a call from Mayumi, telling her that she was ready to leave the base and go home to dress up her new town, and Takumo couldn't meet him on time.

This made Xincheng, who was in a good mood just now, suddenly upset. Could it be that the kid had repented, or the two of them had a quarrel, and hurriedly asked what happened.

Mayumi said gloomily that because of yesterday's submarine earthquakes, many ports were closed, and the ships could not berth. They had to return or look for a usable port nearby. Takumo's ship was docked in Southeast Asia, and it would take at least three days to restart. Set off.

"Three days?" Xincheng almost rushed to the ground, so before Takumo arrived, his and Mayumi's vacation would be over. TPC is an international organization with militarized management, not a small private company. There are many rules and strict systems. It's not like you can change your vacation time if you want to.

The emotional Xincheng yelled loudly, causing the rest of the Victory Team to turn their heads, but they didn't interrupt Xincheng's call until Xincheng comforted his sister, hung up the phone, and then Lina stepped forward and asked softly what happened up.

"Mayumi said that the submarine earthquake affected the arrival time of Takumo's ship, so it's possible." After many emergency rescues, she only got five consecutive days of rest, but now she is in vain, how sad she must be.

"Undersea earthquake?" Lina was taken aback, she really didn't know about it.

Ye Rui immediately tapped on the keyboard, and in just a few seconds, he called up the relevant information, put it on the big screen, and said: "In recent years, there have been many submarine swarm earthquakes on the bottom of the Western Pacific Ocean, creating There are a large number of submarine volcanoes, and at 2:12 a.m. yesterday, a larger-scale submarine swarm occurred. The Institute of Oceanography has gone to the target sea area this morning to conduct investigations to determine the impact of this submarine swarm.”

Everyone looked up at the big screen, where red circles were circled on the map where the submarine swarm earthquakes occurred, as well as the specific time and magnitude of the earthquakes, which clearly showed that The general trend of the scale of submarine earthquakes is getting stronger and stronger, and the scope of influence is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a tendency to spread from the deep sea to the edge of the plate.

Dagu stared at the map on the big screen, and said to himself, "Such frequent earthquakes don't seem like geological activities."

Ye Rui, who was still staring at the computer screen in front of him, nodded, but shook his head again, put a newly found report on the big screen, and said: "The TPC marine survey team has extracted a large number of seabed samples, and the analysis results show that , the area where the submarine earthquake swarm occurred contains a variety of radioactive substances."

Xincheng said uncertainly: "Radioactive material? You mean a nuclear explosion?"

"That's right, it's the product of nuclear explosions," Horii, a scientist, answered, "The Institute of Marine Life believes that the frequent submarine swarm earthquakes in recent years may be related to underground nuclear explosion tests."

Lina asked in confusion: "But didn't that stop long ago?"

"But the impact will take a long, long time to eliminate. Just like these radioactive substances, they may still exist in the earth's environment for tens of thousands of years, not to mention that humans still discharge a large amount of sewage and water into the sea every year. Garbage." Horii said as he walked forward, circled the chart with his fingers, and said: "A scientist who specializes in ocean currents once put forward a theory that the garbage thrown into the sea by humans will be caused by ocean currents." influence, and eventually converge somewhere."

"A place?" The victorious team members couldn't help but imagine that if such a place really existed, how big it would be to accommodate the garbage thrown into the ocean from all over the world. According to statistics, the amount of plastic garbage thrown into the ocean by humans last year reached millions of tons, which is enough. The sheer volume that would overwhelm a metropolis.

"In fact, such things are already happening." Ye Rui tapped the keyboard a few times, showing pictures one after another: the seabed covered with garbage, the sea surface with all kinds of common garbage floating in daily life, extending from the beach to the In the sky, it is impossible to count how much garbage has gathered in this sea area.

"Yes, it is precisely because of this that human beings have to develop new fields, because the earth is already overwhelmed." Horii said with emotion: "In order to reduce the emission of waste and polluting gases caused by power generation, the universe was built. Power stations, making full use of solar power, can reduce one billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year, and the estimated goal is to increase the annual reduction of nitrogen dioxide emissions to tens of billions of tons within ten years, so as to achieve real cleanliness and pollution-free.”

Listening to Horii's introduction of the goal of opening up new fields, the team members were deeply moved. Human beings have indeed made many mistakes in the past, but fortunately, they are starting to make up for the mistakes of the past, and the future will be even better.

No one thinks about the theory of ocean currents affecting garbage and the relationship between the impact of underground nuclear experiments and submarine swarm earthquakes. After all, garbage is a dead thing. This is common sense, and it will only cause environmental pollution. Impact.

Since Tuomo couldn't arrive on time, Xincheng naturally didn't need to see him, so there was no reason to ask Dagu to help him on duty. He could only take the most difficult and boring night shift with full of resentment.

Fortunately, nothing happened overnight, so Xincheng survived safely until the next morning. When I saw Horii who came to change shifts early in the morning, he immediately smiled and said, "You are finally here, sit down quickly, I am almost sleepy."

"Thank you for your hard work, go and rest quickly." Horii said as he took over Xincheng's duty, but heard Xincheng's PDI beeping, but Xincheng, whose mind was chaotic, was a beat slower, and he didn't realize it until Horii reminded him The voice of 'Didi' is my own PDI. As soon as I turned it on, I heard Mayumi's excited voice: "Brother, are you ready to meet Tuomo tonight?"

"Huh?" Xincheng was taken aback, then woke up in an instant, and said in astonishment: "Meet you? Isn't he coming back next week?"
