Chapter 572 National Sinner
"What, isn't this a washing powder production line?" Yu Ping was also a little dazed, he had a faint feeling that there might be some dirty background behind this matter, otherwise, why would Feng Chengzhi call another production line a washing powder production line? What about the production line?
Qin Jialun reacted a little slower, and he distinguished: "Mr. Feng said that his washing powder is a new product, which is different from the traditional washing powder. Therefore, this production line is different, is it possible?"

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said: "County Qin, it may be that the lines are separated by mountains. There are some things in our chemical equipment industry that you may not know deeply. Strictly speaking, the production of washing powder belongs to the process of production, and this set of equipment cannot be called The production line should be called a production device. Corresponding to the production device is the production process. Different types of products have completely different production processes, and the production devices are also completely different.

Hanhua Heavy Industries also produces washing powder production equipment, so we have researched on various types of washing powder equipment around the world.These devices are ever-changing, and the basic technological process will not be much different.

The molecular formula of washing powder is very simple, and the synthesis process is not complicated. At the simplest time, it can be produced in a manual workshop.The so-called new type of washing powder is nothing more than adding some additives to it, and it is impossible to change the basic process of washing powder.But this drawing looks very complicated, involving many reaction processes, and many reaction devices have requirements such as high pressure and corrosion resistance. Using such a process to produce washing powder, I am afraid that the business owner will have to sell his pants. "

"Ah?" Qin Jialun was speechless, how could he understand so many twists and turns, he had never heard of a county magistrate who had to learn fine chemical engineering for two years first.

"So, Mr. Lin, can you tell what kind of device this is?" Xie Mingcheng asked Lin Zhenhua with sparkling eyes. She had a premonition that her struggle might have some unexpected results.

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this, let's see if Mr. Hu can see something."

Hu Wei still maintained a frowning expression. At this time, another Hanhua engineer named Lu Shen who came with them also came over and pondered the blueprint with Hu Wei.The more the two of them pondered, the more ugly their faces became, and in the end it was almost as gloomy as if it was going to rain.

"Old Hu, what's the situation?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Hu GUI asked Lu Shen, "Gong Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Shen said: "I think this is a bit like the synthesis process of some kind of methoxycarbonyl derivative. Mr. Hu, you should know what I mean."

"That's right, I thought of that too." Hu Wei said with a dark face.

"Old Hu, what about this and that?" Lin Zhenhua said.

Hu Wei let out a sigh of relief, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I'm not sure yet, but I suspect that this is a music synthesis device."

"Leke! Are you sure?" Lin Zhenhua lost his voice.

"I'm not sure yet, but based on my experience with Lu Gong, there's not much difference," Hu Gui said.Lin Zhenhua knew that Hu Wei had always been a very cautious person, and he was basically sure of the things he said were not much worse.In the eyes of laymen, chemical installations are very different and mysterious, but in the eyes of experts like Hu Wei and Lu Shen, all kinds of installations have rules to follow. perhaps.

"What is Le Ke?" Yu Ping looked at Lin Zhenhua puzzled and asked.

Lin Zhenhua's complexion also changed, and he explained: "Leke is the name of a kind of insecticide powder. The English abbreviation is LKER. It is highly poisonous and can kill all living things that come into contact with it. When actually using it , Leco must be mixed with other raw materials and diluted 1 times before it can be used in agricultural production. Due to its extreme toxicity, developed countries have strictly prohibited its domestic production, but transferred it to developing countries Production."

"Then how does this Feng Chengzhi say that his factory has absolutely no pollution?" Tang Dingfang was impatient. He is the head of the Environmental Protection Bureau, and he has to take responsibility for such a big mistake.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Judging from the design of this production process, he can indeed achieve no pollution to the local environment. If there are no problems with the production equipment, in fact, the pollution caused by this pesticide factory is not even comparable to that of an ordinary plastic factory. .”

"However, if there is a problem with its device, then the whole of Jingxi will be destroyed like the city of Bhopal in India." Hu Wei said in a dark tone.

Bhopal City!

Everyone felt a chill down their backs, as if they had fallen into an ice cave in the twelfth lunar month.

In 1969, Union Carbide Corporation of the United States established Union Carbide (India) Corporation in the northern suburbs of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Insecticides such as Vin, whose raw material is a highly toxic gas called methyl isocyanate.

The Americans are well aware of the dangers of this highly toxic gas. Out of the consideration of the supremacy of human rights, they banned the establishment of such factories in the United States, but moved the factories to remote India.Although there is a statement in the founding program of the United States that "all men are created equal", this statement does not apply to ordinary Indians.Americans like to say that human rights are higher than sovereignty, but in their actual actions, the lives of people in other countries can never be equivalent to the lives of people in the United States.What happened in Bhopal is a living example, although in order to prove this point, an incalculable price was paid.

In the early morning of December 1984, 12, the steel tank of Union Carbide (India) Company storing liquid methyl isocyanate accidentally exploded, and 3 tons of poisonous gas diffused out, quickly covering the entire city of Bhopal.People were awakened by the stimulation of the poisonous gas in their sleep. They ran out of the house in panic, trying to escape for their lives. Many people died of poisoning before running far.

In just three days after the incident, the official death toll in India alone had reached 3, and an independent report released by the Indian Council of Medical Research showed that the number should be between 3500 and 8000. .In the years that followed, a total of 1 people died from the sequelae directly caused by the poisonous gas, 2.5 people died from poisoning-related diseases, and 55 people were permanently disabled.

It is worth pointing out that after a lapse of 25 years, the parties involved in this tragedy were punished by law. Except for one responsible person who died naturally, the other seven responsible persons were sentenced to prison for "negligence of duty". Prison, the longest sentence is: two years!

Union Carbide Corporation of the United States paid 5 million U.S. dollars in compensation to the Indian government after 4.7 years. Based on the number of deaths, the average life value of each Indian victim was 1.88 U.S. dollars.

In this world, how stupid people must be to believe in the universal values ​​that Americans boast about!

"Mr. Hu, are you sure that this device is used to produce Leke? Also, if Leke leaks, will its impact really be as serious as that of Bhopal?" Yu Ping asked sweating Hu Gui, he was born as a local cadre, his wife, children and countless relatives and friends are all in the local area. If such a tragedy really happened, he would never forgive himself no matter what.

"Mayor Yu, where is Feng Chengzhi now?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

"He's in Jingxi." Qin Jialun said, "He was still in Yanling yesterday, talking to us about speeding up the construction progress. Today he went to the city, and there seems to be some formalities to go through."

"Detain him!" Lin Zhenhua said, "Mayor Yu, regardless of whether Yanling Chemical Factory is really a manufacturer of Leke pesticides, his behavior of hiding his head and tail is already suspected of fraud. This person must be detained first, and then experts are invited to analyze this production device. If it can be proved that this device is indeed Leke's production device, then Feng Chengzhi has committed a heinous crime, and it is not too much to sentence him to more than ten years. "

"What more than ten years, should be shot immediately. This kind of person is simply a national sinner!" Xie Mingcheng's face flushed, the result of this incident was far beyond her imagination, and it also made her out of anger.This kind of dangerous enterprise that the Americans do not allow to set up in the country is actually introduced to China by ghosts. It is light to call such a person a national sinner.

"Deducting people...is this appropriate?" Yu Ping asked hesitantly, "Boss Lin, you don't know that we treat investors like our ancestors, and we will be criticized by our leaders if we don't serve you well. People? What if we make a mistake somewhere, detain the wrong person, and offend the investor... It’s fine if the individual is punished. If the investor walks away in a rage, how can we explain to the people? "

Xie Mingcheng glanced at Yu Ping with disdain. In her opinion, Yu Ping's words might be easier to believe if he offended investors, and the local economy can't develop well. His hat of deputy mayor Can't keep it, but it's too wronged.

Lin Zhenhua said: "No, this matter is very important, and it may not be something that you Jingxi City can afford. Mayor Yu, I suggest reporting this to Mayor Yue and Secretary Wang in advance. If they agree, I suggest Report it to the national security department immediately, this is a major case involving national security."

Yu Ping also knew that he couldn't carry it, so he hurried out of the room, took out his mobile phone and reported to Yue Jianhua and the secretary surnamed Wang.Of course, when reporting, he still deliberately emphasized the important role he played in this matter. It is precisely because he, Yu Ping, has a serious attitude of seeking evidence that he invited experts from Hanhua to assist in the identification, so as to avoid a potentially significant event.

When Secretary Wang and Yue Jianhua heard Yu Ping's report, they were also sweating from fright.They are eager to invest, but at the same time know that some money cannot be earned.Since the matter has not been verified, it is not convenient for them to directly detain Feng Chengzhi like Lin Zhenhua suggested. However, if they want to keep him, they still have enough ways. They just need to let the wind out and say that the road to the mountain has collapsed. If he couldn't pass for a while, Feng Chengzhi could only stay in Jingxi and wait.
