Chapter 360

A few people surrounded Fang Yang and chattered, completely forgetting why they came.

The Village Chief had no choice but to remind politely: "That... just now this young man said that our lake might have a problem with water quality, can you please help test it."

"What!"

"Water quality has a problem? And Fang Yang said it?"

"Finished, finished, hurry up and test it. If the water quality of this lake has a problem, that's a big deal!"

Seeing that they were laughing and laughing just now, and suddenly they were as scared as if they had been frightened, the villagers were even more shocked.

Just because of Fang Yang's words, these professionals were scared out of their souls.

And they kept saying it was impossible, really don't know if they were ignorant or Fang Yang was too terrifying.

The tester went to the lake to get a sample of water and tested the water quality on the spot with the instrument he brought.

After testing several locations in a row, the smiles on their faces completely disappeared and became more and more solemn.

At noon, around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, they returned to Fang Yang again.

One of them said with a tight face: "Fang Yang's guess is correct, the mercury element in the lake water is seriously exceeded, and we specifically changed many places to test, all the same. It seems that this lake has been polluted for more than a day or two."

"This is a big trouble. When we go back, we will immediately seal the entire lake and prohibit anyone from fishing. The creatures inside are estimated to have absorbed a large amount of mercury. People absolutely cannot eat it, otherwise, once it is in the late stage of mercury poisoning, there is no cure."

Boom~~~

The tester's words were like a dry thunder, exploding in the ears of all the villagers.

——【I understand, it must be that the water was polluted, so the fish absorbed the toxic substances in the water little by little. Then the fishermen caught them and ate them. Cats and dogs are smaller and easier to get sick, so they were poisoned in advance. According to this, it is very likely that the people in this village are all poisoned. Thinking about it is terrifying.】

——【This is not the most terrifying thing. Don't forget that they not only eat it themselves, but also sell it out. This... I bought wild fish in the vegetable market a while ago. I won't be poisoned too, right? Damn, don't scare me!】

——【Brother, don't panic. They have been eating for so long before they were poisoned, which means the toxic substances carried by the fish are very low. Theoretically, there is no big deal, but your Xihai City is estimated that no one dares to eat fish recently. Those who sell fish are going to be unlucky.】

——【Isn't the point why this lake was polluted? I remember the Mayor of Fang Yang's side said two days ago that he wanted to govern the environment, but today such a thing happened. Isn't this slapping his face? This kind of pollution must have a source, and it must be investigated to the end.】

The Village Chief asked in disbelief: "Leader, this joke can't be made casually. If this lake is sealed, what will we rely on for a living?"

The tester said solemnly: "Village Chief, I think you are not considering the problem of fishing now, but whether the people in your village have been poisoned by eating fish for many years. Mercury poisoning is no joke."

"If you absorb too much toxin, even the gods can't save you. If you are allowed to fish and sell it to others, do you think this is possible?"

Once these words were spoken, all the villagers panicked completely.

This is not just a problem of cutting off their livelihood.

Now even personal safety has become a problem.

Seeing the village in trouble, Da Niu was also anxious, and asked Fang Yang with a request tone: "Fang Yang, help the village, you have seen it too, if it continues at this rate, the village is afraid it will be gone!!"

Many villagers cast thirsty eyes one after another. Although they didn't understand Fang Yang, the only one who could help them now was Fang Yang.

The tester sighed: "No one can make the water quality of the whole lake good in a short time. Even if Fang Yang is willing to help you, the lake must be sealed. You can't take poisonous fish to give to people to eat.".

215. Nitrogen Fertilizer Plant Discharges Sewage, Mayor Furious, Strictly Handle!

Fang Yang could only nod helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to help you, no one can clean up the pollution of such a large lake in a short time."

"And this is not as simple as the water being dirty and smelly. It contains a large amount of chemical elements, and even the fish carry mercury toxins. If you want to clean it up, it is definitely a big project, but it is not completely impossible."

"At least I can help you get some justice, so that everyone's days won't be so difficult."

Da Niu's expression moved, and he asked nervously: "Do you mean to help find the source of water pollution?"

"Yes!" Fang Yang nodded again: "Even if it's not for the villagers, we must find out the reason for the water pollution. If the problem is not found in time, in the long run, the creatures in this lake will die, everyone nearby will have to move, and the groundwater here will become unsafe."

The tester stood on the side and said solemnly: "Fang Yang is right! Throwing mercury into the lake is simply vicious."

The villagers were already scared and dumbfounded, and now they were completely at a loss.

This kind of thing has exceeded their ability, and only the government can solve it.

But it is basically impossible to solve it quickly.

Because there will never be a lack of human feelings in this world, unless a death order is issued to handle it.

The villagers can't wait.

Fang Yang can't wait either!

He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Team Wang's phone without hesitation.

"Hey! Fang Yang, I thought I could take a day off today!"

"Hehe, Brother Wang, please do me a favor..." Following that, he described the situation here completely.

The tone on the other end of the phone was angry: "It's not that you are asking me for help, it's that I want to thank you. This is my duty. Wait a moment, I will check what industrial pollution might appear near the lake."

Two minutes later.

"Fang Yang, found it! The water quality of this lake is very good. In the early days, the city designated it as a key water resource protection area, so factories were not allowed to be built nearby. But later, I don't know who approved it, but a large nitrogen fertilizer plant was built in the no-man's land upstream."

"Nitrogen fertilizer plant?" Fang Yang suddenly felt that this name was very familiar.

Following that, he immediately remembered the Town Mayor mentioned by the Village Chief when he dug up the cordyceps, and suddenly realized.

"Brother Wang, check if the legal representative of the nitrogen fertilizer plant is the Town Mayor from more than ten years ago?"

"Wait a moment, I'm having them check!"

After a while.

"Fang Yang, how did you know? The legal representative was indeed a Town Mayor before. According to the file records, he privately approved this piece of land at that time, saying he wanted to build a large amusement park, but now it has become a nitrogen fertilizer plant!!"

Fang Yang understood everything completely. Sure enough, a villain is a villain everywhere. He won't put away his bad intentions just because of the passage of time.

He cheated the villagers and stole their cordyceps back then. Because it had been too long and there was no evidence, there was nothing that could be done about him.

But it's different now. Fang Yang was too lazy to manage it before, but now he is deeply disgusted by this kind of behavior that harms one side.

"Brother Wang, bring people from the Environmental Protection Bureau to conduct a surprise inspection as soon as possible to see if their environmental protection equipment meets the standards. I will take people upstream to test if the water pollution is more serious."

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, the villagers looked at Fang Yang like a savior, their eyes full of expectation.

Da Niu kept saying thank you on the side.

Fang Yang looked at the tester: "Let's go first, go upstream to test the water quality, and then come back to settle the villagers' affairs!"

"Okay."

They drove a car when they came, and now it saved Fang Yang from taking a taxi.

The group drove to the upstream according to the map navigation, and it took a full twenty minutes to arrive at a desolate scenic area.

And in the deepest part of the scenic area, there was a factory emitting thick smoke, and not far from the factory was the large lake that the villagers relied on for survival.

In order not to startle the snake, the car stopped a few hundred meters away.

Everyone ran to the vicinity, and as soon as they arrived here, they smelled a pungent smell.

You have to know that water also has a smell. Normal water will emit a earthy smell when blown by a cool breeze.

But the taste here had already changed.

And even water grass couldn't be seen here, and not a single fish could be seen jumping out of the water on the entire lake surface.

The tester didn't say a word and took some lake water as a sample with a vessel to test on the spot.

Soon the test results came out.

The color of the water here had changed, and mercury was seriously exceeded, far exceeding the downstream villagers' residence.

After that, they changed a few places to test.

But the results were all the same, seriously exceeded.

Obviously, this should be the source of lake water pollution.

The tester looked at the red area of the indicator and cursed: "Such a good water source was destroyed by them. Twenty years ago, it is said that the water here could be drunk directly!"

"Yes, I also heard my grandfather say that the fish inside were endless, sigh.. under the maintenance of many generations, now it has become like this."

——【These people are wicked. I have always wondered why they spent so much money to build a factory, but were unwilling to spend money to build sewage treatment equipment. Can they sleep at night earning this money that goes against their conscience?】

——【Are you living in a fairy tale world? Let me ask you, why do some people know that throwing objects from high altitude is dangerous, but still throw garbage from high buildings. Why go to great lengths to deal with it when it can be thrown directly on the ground. Some people won't consider others, they will only consider themselves.】

——【That's right, the cost of treating sewage is very high. Relatively speaking, it's not too worry-free and money-saving to directly get a big pipe and discharge it into the lake. And even if he is caught that his sewage treatment is unqualified, with his economy and connections, he can solve it by spending some money, and continue to discharge later!】

——【I don't think so. That's because he didn't meet a ruthless character! If it were just the previous group of villagers, they definitely couldn't do anything about this factory, but who let him meet Fang Yang today? I bet this former Town Mayor is going to be unlucky!】

Fang Yang looked at the disgusting lake water in front of him without saying a word, his expression looked neither sad nor happy.

The cameraman knew that Fang Yang was determined to manage this matter!
