In the evening, Team Leader Wang called.

After the disaster relief at the scene ended, they brought up the few corpses from the mine shaft.

Fortunately, they were buried by dirt piles, so the corpses were not charred.

Through testing, it was found that each of them had a habit of using drugs.

It was very clear that they had dug a hole and stored them there when they went down the shaft earlier.

The main thing is that "washing the mine" produces highly toxic hydrogen cyanide gas, which they could withstand by carrying oxygen tanks and gas masks.

If the toads were taken down, they would definitely die.

In the end, this matter could be considered completely resolved. Fang Yang hadn't rested well last night, so he went to bed early this evening and fell into a deep sleep.

At night, the incident regarding the explosion at the Xihe City fireworks factory quickly hit the headlines of the trending searches.

Such an explosion was almost second only to the two major explosions.

One was Hiroshima, and one was Nagasaki.

But the difference between this explosion and the previous two was that the previous two caused a large number of deaths.

This explosion actually resulted in zero casualties.

Coupled with the fact that there were no casualties in yesterday's earthquake either.

Such a situation was unique, not to mention in China, but in the whole world.

Novel Group 856323613

For a time, Fang Yang's name was once again pushed to the highest peak by people.

——【He really is a god-like man. If I were a woman, I would definitely be obsessed with him. Peers are simply crushed into dust compared to him. To be precise, most people in the world can't compare to him. He is so young; what will he be like in the future? I dare not imagine.】

——【Actually, the precautions he took weren't difficult, but the difficulty lies in the fact that he understands every industry and can always analyze problems at the first opportunity. For example, yesterday's earthquake—no one except Fang Yang could see the various omens. And for example, today's explosion—who the hell could have thought that a few ore thieves dying could ignite fireworks?】

——【I strongly suggest sending Fang Yang to the US and Japan to dig, as long as people are sent to protect him well. Then he can dig up earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions for them every day, and it won't be long before they are all wiped out!】

——【I have always suspected that Fang Yang is not a normal person. Just watch, maybe one day he will fly to the moon, dig up Japan with a shovel, and throw it into the sea. Then let's see who dares to be arrogant; just dig it up and fill the sea!】

However, in the second half of the night, a military recruitment poster from Xihe City was dug up by someone with an agenda and posted online.

It immediately blew up.

Fang Yang in a military uniform was a hit with both men and women.

——【Damn, even I, a man, am starting to swing the other way. Speaking of which, I was still struggling with whether to join the army because it's too hard and tiring, but now... just for this uniform, I must join.】

——【Regret for three years if you join the army, regret for a lifetime if you don't! As a retired soldier, I feel proud of myself.】

——【Nothing else to say, I'm going to sign up for the army tomorrow. The army even came to our village to recruit people for military service yesterday; it's just in time.】

——【In our place, you can't even join the army if you want to; you have to spend money. It's really messed up! I even want to go to Xihe City to join the army.】

——【This photo of Fang Yang has lit up the military dream in so many people's hearts. I reckon it will be hard to join the army this year; there are no spots left!】

The next day, Fang Yang slept until after 9 o'clock before getting up.

After getting up and looking at the gloomy weather outside the window, he couldn't even open his eyes, feeling dazed.

When he saw the time, he sat up immediately.

He got up and walked to the window to look outside.

A very thick fog had actually risen today.

Standing at his position, he couldn't even see the people on the road clearly.

The sky felt gloomy, and the sun was also blocked, with not a single ray of light visible.

Standing in the room, it felt particularly stuffy, and breathing wasn't very smooth.

When he looked up at the sky, the system actually gave a prompt.

【Anticyclone Weather】

【Refers to a horizontal air vortex where the central air pressure is higher than the surrounding air pressure; it is also a high-pressure system in the atmosphere. The low-level horizontal airflow diverges clockwise, while anticyclones in the Southern Hemisphere diverge counter-clockwise...】

Fang Yang read for a long time, feeling confused and finding it very difficult to understand.

But in general, it can be understood as an anticyclone appearing in the sky with high pressure, forming sinking airflow, which causes urban pollution and other gases to be pressed down to ground level.

At the same time, the anticyclone causes low wind speeds, making it difficult for pollutants in the air to disperse.

That's why smoggy weather and this stuffy phenomenon were formed.

After reading the introduction, Fang Yang clicked his tongue in wonder.

He only knew that thick fog would rise before, but he didn't know why.

Today, he finally learned another piece of knowledge.

After calling Boss Yang, he took the cameraman to have breakfast and hailed a taxi to head to the work site.

The visibility on the road was only twenty or thirty meters, and the driver was driving much slower.

All the vehicles on the road had their hazard lights and fog lights on, and the whole city seemed to have turned into a "fog city."

What Fang Yang found strange was that many people on the street were wearing masks, including the driver.

"Master, isn't it just a bit of fog? Is it necessary for so many people to wear masks?"

Seeing that it was Fang Yang, the driver naturally told him everything he knew: "Hey~~ that's because you don't know. There are two white cloud processing bases in our suburbs; one is a coal-fired power plant, and the other is an oil plant. Those big chimneys are puffing smoke non-stop every day."

"Usually you don't feel anything because it floats directly into the sky, but look at it now. The reason it's like this is because the pollution has become severe. It was said long ago that the power plant should be closed, but it's still running. There's no way to talk about it."

"So that's how it is!" Fang Yang was lost in thought.

He had seen those big chimneys when he was working before, but he didn't take them seriously at the time.

Now that he thought about it, there was no other way; after all, the price of industrial development is the destruction of nature.

If humans want to obtain a more comfortable and easy life, they must take pollution as a prerequisite.

Polluted gases like this float into the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to thicken, eventually forming a greenhouse effect. It is highly likely that most of the land on Blue Star will be submerged by seawater in the future.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head and threw these thoughts to the back of his mind; these were not things he should be considering.

The car drove for a full hour before arriving at the work site.

Although this was the suburbs, the smog was still very severe, just slightly better than in the city, with visibility exceeding forty meters.

After getting out of the car, a chubby middle-aged man wearing a construction helmet walked over with a smile and extended his right hand.

"Fang Yang, we finally waited for you."

Fang Yang hurriedly responded with a handshake and looked around in confusion: "What am I digging today?"

Under the smog, he could only vaguely see big mountains nearby, and there were quite a few two-story rural houses around.

The fatty said with a smile: "You come with me, I'll take you over first."

After walking for a while, the big mountain got closer and closer, and there was a large bamboo forest on it with lush green trees.

Immediately after, a very large cave entrance appeared in his line of sight, and the edges of the cave were made of concrete.

Looking closely, it was written with the words "Coal Mine Shaft."

Connecting this to the construction helmet the fatty was wearing, Fang Yang realized that this place should be an underground mine shaft.

Fang Yang looked at the mine shaft and asked in confusion: "You don't want me to go down the mine shaft to dig coal, do you?"

The fatty hurriedly shook his head with a smile: "How could that be? How would I dare to let you dig coal!"

After speaking, he looked up and pointed to the mountain: "See that bamboo forest? We invited you to help dig this area out. It's too difficult to dig these things by manpower, so we had to find an excavator to help."

The cameraman looked at the lush bamboo forest, where each one looked like a towering tree, thick and tall, and asked in great confusion: "Why dig it out? Isn't this bamboo forest very beautiful?"

The fatty sighed: "There's no other way to dig it out. There are two reasons. You also see that there is a village near us. Digging coal all year round has some pollution, so the bamboo is considered a little compensation for them."

"Secondly, and most importantly, look at that conveyor belt. It hasn't been overhauled for a long time. This bamboo grows too fast and blocks everything around it; some have even reached into the conveyor belt. There's no way to handle it. Even if we cut it down, it will grow back quickly, so it must be dug out."

Fang Yang looked up and saw a conveyor belt running in the middle of the bamboo forest.

It was surrounded by steel structures on the top and bottom to prevent rain and coal from falling and hitting people.

The rubber conveyor belt in the middle was constantly transporting towards the diagonal upward position, emitting a harsh friction sound.

At the very front of the conveyor belt was a very large factory building, with "Coal Washing Plant" written on it.

Fang Yang asked curiously: "What does the coal washing plant do!"

Upon hearing this, the fatty smiled: "Oh~~ this, because when coal is dug out of the ground, it's in chunks, and it contains not only coal but also stones and dirt. When coal passes through the coal washing plant, the dirt will be washed away."

"As for the stones, they will sink into the water, while the coal will float up. In this way, we can pick out the real coal, then dry it and stack it in the warehouse, waiting for transport."

Fang Yang clicked his tongue in wonder after hearing the explanation.

So that's how coal mines are sorted.

Immediately after, he took another look at the bamboo forest: "Even if I dig up its roots, someone has to take away such tall bamboo."
