Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

At 4 a.m., there was silence in the Congress hall. Everyone was looking at a bill submitted by Le Xiao from Section 13 on the light and shadow screen.

Le Xiao looked at the bill in front of her quietly, feeling very nervous. The breath in the air was unusually heavy. Many people frowned. It had been an hour since they came in, but apart from the initial speech, Outside, the sounds from behind gradually disappeared.

This bill is very long, far longer than any bill Le Xiao has ever seen before. Many parts are written in great detail, and there is also a lot of survey data and analysis and conjecture. Before coming in, Le Xiao heard Locke say that this is Ji Hui’s bill. It took three years to complete the bill.

Everyone had different ideas. At this time, Wu Qun in the seat had realized why the section chiefs remained silent. Someone should speak first at this time to break the deadlock and enter the discussion stage, but no one did so. Do.

The six gods did not say anything as they were all reviewing the bill. Wu Qun knew very well what kind of situation would result if whoever spoke first at this time, and the more than 300 businessmen, families and celebrities in the auditorium were all In silence, everyone's expression was very bad.

If the proposal is implemented gradually, it will indeed be effective, but the risk of this proposal is quite huge. In the worst case, it will directly bring down the city. The west and south of the gully area are the main places where urban waste is discharged.

The depth of the gully is nearly 2 kilometers, and now the waste has accumulated to a height of nearly 1 kilometer, so there are stinking areas on the edges. Most of the people living on the edge of the city have lung diseases, and it takes a while Pneumoconiosis treatment will be carried out at the right time.

This metropolis of more than 30 million people covers an area of ​​nearly 7,000 square kilometers, with a straight-line distance of more than 350 kilometers from north to south, nearly 200 kilometers from east to west, and nearly 500 kilometers of ravines in the east and west. According to the content of the bill, at least 10 cities need to be established. More than one waste treatment plant will do.

A lot of waste has solidified. This problem will be faced by the city sooner or later. However, because the implementation is too difficult, it is more difficult than the establishment of agricultural bases in barrier areas. The bill states that 1,000 small and medium-sized enterprises can be mobilized to work together. , carry out construction.

Over the years, everyone has selectively ignored this problem. Pollution has been approaching silently. The air pollution index divided into 10 levels has reached 7.4 in the most fringe areas, and areas close to level 8 are no longer suitable for human habitation. Indicators, in some places further inside, range from 4 to 6 at the bottom level and 3 to 5 at the middle level. In recent years, the number of people with pneumoconiosis has increased year by year. The data in the past ten years has increased at an average annual rate of 15.7%.

Although medical technology is now advanced and can directly strip harmful substances from the lungs without damaging the surface cells of the lungs, these harmful particles still pose a huge harm to the middle and lower classes of the city.

Everyone has no idea at this moment, because everyone knows that if nothing is done, one day the waste will continue to accumulate and cause huge damage to the ecology of the entire city. If it is dealt with, the current situation will make The social structure of the city has been seriously distorted.

In addition to the technical aspect, the current economic situation of more than 600 enterprises with deficits does not have the technology in this area. Indeed, this bill can revive more than 600 of them and mobilize the operation of the economy.

Hu Youran and Duke were sitting in the gallery. Duke had a smile on his lips, but his expression was not relaxed. He kept wiping his sweat, while Hu Youran had a solemn expression. The necessity of the motion is currently met. However, what will happen after the implementation of the bill is that the capital market will be out of control. Once the capital is out of control, the risk will increase exponentially. It is like a ship that has been severely aged at the bottom and suddenly hits the rocks. If this loophole is plugged, that loophole will appear again. The leaks were constantly plugged, but the ship was actually sinking.

Everyone has selectively avoided this issue for so many years. Someone once suggested burying it. This is indeed the easiest way, but it is also the most irresponsible way.

No one can make an easy decision on this matter. In fact, Hu Youran remembered that someone mentioned the establishment of a waste treatment plant a long time ago, but such a proposal has never entered the city meeting. Everyone I don't want to mention it either.

Now that the problem has been put on the table, everyone is beginning to feel a little overwhelmed, because many people are thinking of solving it later.

The clearest point in the bill is that Districts 113 and 114 are directly included in this bill. There is no need to continue to build two districts. Instead, this bill will be started directly in the two bottom districts in the southwest. From the two The straight-line distance from the district to the upper district directly establishes a supply chain.

At this time, Hu Youran noticed that many businessmen around him were whispering to each other from time to time, and their voices were very low. He knew very well that it was impossible for people from these big companies to support this bill, because the risk cost was too high, and not everyone was like this. The Angus family is so lucky that they can get high returns after making a desperate gamble. Times are different, opportunities and environments are different. Their family's success cannot be replicated.

"Then does anyone want to speak? Everyone in the gallery, you are allowed to speak."

Locke stood up and said something. The section chiefs behind him all looked over, but no one in the auditorium spoke, because no one wanted to be the target of public criticism. Everyone now urgently needs someone to stand up and speak, whether it is good or bad. Only by doing bad things can we break this deadlock, and the six gods did not seem to intend to speak.

Locke continued to sit down and went back. He breathed a sigh of relief. He had to do everything possible to delay it. The arrest operation was still going on, and it would take a certain amount of time to finalize the case after the interrogation. He could only wait for the business department to finish this. Only after everything was done can we tell the story of the arrests of these black craftsmen.

"Since no one is here to speak, I'll do it."

Hu Youran stood up with a smile, bowed to the six gods in front of him, and looked at him with pairs of eyes. Duke could no longer hold Hu Youran back.

"Isn't this great? Let us all hear what you, an economist, think about this bill."

The Orange God said and Hu Youran nodded.

""Industrial Development and Economic Hazards", everyone, I wrote this book more than 40 years ago. The arguments I put forward in the book at that time encountered a lot of cynicism from society. I once stated in it that it cannot be Foreseeable economic harm is hidden in industrial development. It is not simply environmental pollution that will bring any negative consequences. If the pollution continues to seriously expand, the only way is to bury the gully area and re-build and dig a sewage discharge path leading to the barrier area. Dao, if large machinery is used, this can be done by the city, and the relative risk is very small."

As he spoke, Hu Youran took a sip of water and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Even though he had been on the battlefield on many occasions, he was still a little unable to withstand the unusually solemn atmosphere in front of him. He had been in this kind of situation for many years. The tension that had never existed in Zhongdu returned. He pressed his chest and could feel his heart beating violently.

“I think that everything we do now and the economic activities we create, whether it is production or sales, or other things related to the economy, will have an unpredictable impact on the future. Sometimes the results are thought to be good. Yes, but there are negative consequences, and these negative consequences are mainly reflected on the human level. With all due respect, Lord Orange God, you are the designer of the layout of Brilliant City. I have a question to ask!"

The Orange God nodded. Many people have heard from their fathers that when the Brilliant City was first established, it was the Orange God who surveyed every inch of the land and drew the design of the Brilliant City, dividing the entire city into 120 areas. The large area, as well as the design that reserved underground passages, proposed the concept of transportation pipelines.

"Did Lord Orange God consider using the gully area as a location for sewage discharge from the beginning?"

The orange god shook his head.

“My original design at that time was to turn the gully area into a huge circulating water system, and let this circulating water system become a point to support the urban climate, but it failed because we did not have so much time and energy to build this system. We had thought about the sewage discharge points a long time ago and directly divided several pollutant treatment areas in the city for external isolation and internal treatment, but the situation at the time did not allow us to do this."

Hu Youran bowed and said thank you. Everyone looked at Hu Youran, and Wu Qun stared at him with a solemn expression.

What on earth is this old man going to say?
