Chapter 94: Highly toxic, methylmercury!

Team Chen looked at the black water that was constantly spraying out in front of him. His face was livid with anger. He could no longer care about his image and yelled on the spot: "These beasts! Such good water quality has been polluted by them. Who did it?" Yes, who is so bold as to discharge sewage into this lake?"

At this moment, everyone was furious, and the netizens in the live broadcast room were also furious.

Such a good environment, such a nice lake, full of birds singing and flowers fragrant.

Only here, the stench is overwhelming and extremely disgusting!

A large pipeline directly harms the entire lake and all surrounding environments, and even harms the villagers and people who eat fish downstream.

This is no longer as simple as polluting the environment.

But doing evil! He's harming people!

If you can do this kind of thing, aren't you afraid that you will have children without buttholes in the future?

If it weren't for the fact that a mouse accidentally ran into Mr. Cheng's coffin today, who would have thought that such a heartless thing would happen here?
The unsuspecting villagers and people who ate the fish here did not just get sick or have diarrhea.

This is mercury poisoning! !
Once it reaches the advanced stage, all joints of the body are out of control and cannot even crawl.

He could only eat liquid food, could not speak, suffered from mental disorders, epileptic seizures, and even committed suicide in pain.

The scariest thing is that this thing is hereditary!

Once a newborn is born, it is very likely that it will bring its own toxins and be accompanied by congenital paralysis and intellectual disability.

For the sake of self-interest, making fun of other people's lives, seemingly an ordinary pipe, brings consequences that the entire Xihai City cannot bear, and is hundreds of times worse than a murderer!

——[Beast! ! I have also studied chemistry. Mercury is difficult to digest naturally in nature. If it is in water, it will need to undergo countless evaporation and rain to degrade the mercury inside bit by bit. As for the fish in the water, they have to undergo countless generations of death and change before they can get rid of the toxins in their bodies. 】

——[This lake is considered destroyed. It will not be restored within twenty or thirty years. Imagine that in twenty or thirty years, many elderly people in the village may have died. How will they survive. This means that this village will soon become a ghost village. 】

——[No, I just don’t understand. Why would someone dare to discharge sewage into such an important lake without even noticing it for several years? Is there no one to supervise it? Also, this place looks like a scenic spot. How could he be allowed to discharge sewage here? 】

——[Childish, I ask you to bury a pipe there, do you dare? Since he dares, it means he must have a back-up. The reason why he has not been discovered is because he has the final say? But today, he may be in trouble. Meeting Lin Yuan is the most unlucky thing in his life. 】

Angry as it is, the case must continue to be investigated.

The question now is where this pipe came from.

Because it was buried underneath, only the head was leaking out, and the source could not be found unless it was dug out and followed.

Obviously this method is unrealistic.

The top priority is to extract some of the black water discharged from the pipe and test it to see if the mercury content exceeds the standard.

However, when the results appear.

Everyone is stunned!
Completely subverts the perception.

Before testing, they instinctively believed that the pollution in the Great Lakes was caused by sewage discharged from this pipeline.

But the doctor's test results showed that there was indeed mercury in it, but the content was average.

If this amount of mercury alone is used, it will never be possible to cause the mercury in the water of the entire Great Lake to exceed the standard.

Now everyone was dumbfounded.

Is it possible that the source of pollution is not here?

Lin Yuan was also caught off guard by the result.

His intuition told him that the source of the pollution was here.

But obviously, judging from the shape of the pipe, this should be industrial wastewater.

Since it is industrial water, the mercury in it must be inorganic mercury!

It is impossible for inorganic mercury to cause neurotoxicity in villagers and poultry.

This is very contradictory. We have found the source but cannot find the correct answer.

Could it be that the inorganic mercury in the wastewater turned into organic mercury after it ran into the lake?

This is too ridiculous.

What is not so easy to do in chemical experiments, is it possible to complete a complete chemical reaction in lake water?
Or is there something special in this lake?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan looked at the doctor next to him and said, "Please take some soil from another place and test it. I want to see if there is anything special about the soil in this lake."

Upon hearing this, the accompanying doctor immediately nodded and went to take samples for testing.

Team Chen asked doubtfully: "Lin Yuan, why do you need to test the soil? Isn't it confirmed that the water quality is contaminated?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said uncertainly: "I'm not completely sure yet. I think this should be the source of the pollution, but I haven't found any evidence yet."

"That's it!" Team Chen nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the doctor who was collecting soil for testing.

On the other side of the city, the urban area is in a state of flux.

On the street, the sirens of police cars echoed one after another, echoing in every corner.

The traffic police brigade was almost in full force. Hundreds of traffic policemen wearing handsome police uniforms rode motorcycles to various traffic intersections to direct traffic. In addition, there are many traffic policemen sitting in police cars, calling on citizens through car loudspeakers to ask them to go to nearby hospitals for medical examinations.

The hospital immediately formed a medical team, equipped with professional testing equipment, and quickly appeared near the community.

Community squares and street corner parks that were usually quiet have now become temporary physical examination points.

At every physical examination point, there were long lines of people coming for physical examinations.

There was tension and uneasiness in the air, and everyone could feel the seriousness of the situation.

In private, in circles of friends, and in discussion groups, the news has already gone viral.

Even the local forum in Xihai City, which is usually not very popular, was packed.

Opening the page, almost everyone wants to know what happened.

——[Brothers, what happened? I feel like something is wrong? My mobile phone, TV, Internet, and door are all notified to check. Does anyone know why? 】

——[I don’t know, I only know that the experience is to see if there is any poisoning. I just had a physical examination and there was nothing wrong with it. People told me not to panic. 】

——[Aren’t you panicking? The whole city was inspected for no reason, and those who didn’t know thought there was some kind of plague spreading, but no one knew the reason? 】

——[No, don’t you all watch Lin Yuan’s live broadcast? A large lake in our Xihai City has been polluted. The water and fish are poisonous. The local villagers have been poisoned. A lot of fish are sold on the market. Now we are helping you check whether you are poisoned and treat it as soon as possible. 】

——[Here I go, I was shocked. I thought it was a big deal. I don’t like fish, but who is this Lin Yuan you are talking about? Why should I watch his live broadcast? 】

——[This name is so familiar. I heard a guy named Lin Yuan rescued a guy who jumped from a building at noon today. Is it the same person? 】

——[Yes, our celebrity in Xihai City is unknown to so many people. He is currently investigating the source of pollution. You can search his live broadcast room to watch. 】

Because the matter was so urgent, various rumors spread in private. Even if someone knew the truth, it was only a small part.

A large number of people gathered at medical stations and lined up to wait for medical examinations.

It was okay at first, but as the queue got longer and longer, someone finally couldn't help but burst out!

All kinds of abuse and doubts are heard endlessly.

Faced with such a scene, medical staff had no time to respond.

But fortunately, with the joint protection of the traffic police and the police, the situation was not aggravated further.

Before investigating the details of the case, they didn't know how to explain it, so they could only keep persuading the public that this was for their own good.

On Lin Yuan's side, the doctor came up with a data report after ten minutes of instrument analysis.

The soil actually contains a large amount of mercury, much higher than water.

Other than that, everything else is normal and they are all the ingredients that should be present in the soil.

If there is a difference, it is that it is relatively rich in methylotrophic bacteria.

This type of methylotrophic bacteria is relatively common in lakes and plays an important role.

It can use one-carbon methyl compounds as carbon sources and energy for growth, promoting material circulation and energy flow in lake ecosystems.

At the same time, this bacteria can also reduce pollutants in lakes by degrading organic matter, helping to improve water quality.

Therefore, the water quality of the Great Lakes has always been relatively good, and this is one of the reasons.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's brain suddenly flashed with electricity, and his pupils shrank sharply.

With the blessing of the system skill Chemistry Proficiency, he immediately noticed the problem.

Turning to look at Team Chen, he said solemnly: "Captain Chen, I think I probably know the reason why this lake is polluted!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Lin Yuan in shock.

Team Chen's expression became even more joyful, and he hurriedly asked: "You know? Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the big lake in front of him and said slowly: "If I guess correctly, the poison that the villagers were poisoned should be methylmercury!!"

Upon hearing the words methylmercury, the accompanying doctor's expression suddenly changed.

He exclaimed on the spot: "Methylmercury?? Oh my god! That's extremely poisonous!"

Team Chen and others looked surprised, but they were a little confused as they had never heard of this term.

Lin Yuan explained with a solemn expression: "You may not understand the meaning of poison."

"In our lives, king cobras are poisonous enough, but when it comes to methylmercury, they are completely unsightly."

"It only takes half an earful of methylmercury to poison a person!"

"There was once a chemistry professor who was doing an experiment with methylmercury, and two drops accidentally fell on his rubber gloves."

"He immediately took off his clothes and gloves and rinsed them constantly, but do you know what the result was?"

Hearing this, the photographer's eyes widened, he swallowed, and asked uncertainly: "Isn't he dead?"
