Golden Fishery

1472. God's Whip

Sincerely ask for a recommendation ticket. ****

Qin Shiou hugged his ipad and started to check the news, but Butler recommended himself: "You don't need to read the reports, let me introduce you. I was in Tokyo at the time, and I know much better than these bastard media."

"Tell me, I'm listening." Qin Shiou searched for the news and said casually.

As Butler said, the Port of Tokyo collapsed. After a year of brewing, the mutant shipworms finally showed their power.

The Tokyo Bay port group was constructed very early. Due to the reasonable division of labor of the Japanese port group, six world-class large ports gathered in the narrow harbor, namely Tokyo Port, Chiba Port, Kawasaki Port, Yokohama Port, and Kisarazu Port. , Yokosuka Port.

These ports are connected end to end, stretching for hundreds of miles, responsible for the shipping of the entire central region of Japan.

The Tokyo Bay area has been the core area of ​​Japan's economy and politics for hundreds of years. Since the Warring States Period, ports have been developed. Therefore, the piers here were built very early. Most of them are made of wood and stone, and there are few steel piers.

This is normal, and it is the same in Canada. Steel piers are useless. The corrosion of sea water and the attack of anaerobic bacteria can turn a steel pier into ruins within ten years, which is not as practical as wood and stone.

But this time the Tokyo Bay port group suffered a practical loss. The incident happened half a month ago. First, a wooden pier in Tokyo Bay collapsed, and then the waves caused by the collapse triggered the collapse of another pier. The piers collapsed one after another.

The inspection results came out quickly, that is, the main timber of the two docks was destroyed by shipworms. From the outside, there was nothing, but the inside was full of dense nests of shipworms.

Therefore, the port of Tokyo was the first to be closed for inspection and maintenance. This is not a big deal. There are still five ports that can be used in such a small place in Tokyo Bay, and the shipping pressure can be reasonably distributed on the other five ports.

Sadly, when the staff in charge of port inspection conducted spot checks on the other five major ports, they found that a large number of shipworms were also found in the wharves of these places!

This under the Japanese government from the center to the coast of Tokyo Bay. Everyone panicked, the significance of the Tokyo Bay Port Group to this country is too great!

From the geographical point of view, the Tokyo Bay port group is located in the southern bay of Honshu Island, Japan, surrounded by the two peninsulas of Boso and Miura. It is connected to the Pacific Ocean by the Uraga Waterway.

That is to say, as long as the bay is opened, the goods transported from the Pacific Ocean can directly enter Tokyo, Kawasaki and other places. Once it is closed, it will have to travel long distances from Fujisawa or Ohara to enter.

According to Qin Shiou's information, the past year has just passed. The handling capacity of the entire port group has reached 550 billion tons, which is second to none in the world and is the lifeline of the entire central part of Japan.

From an economic point of view, the Tokyo Bay where the port group is located has two major industrial zones, Keihin and Keiyo. The Keihin Industrial Belt on the west coast of Tokyo Bay includes Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kawasaki. There are more than 200 large-scale factories and enterprises stationed on the 5-kilometer-wide and 60-kilometer-long coastal belt, such as Nissan Motor, Ishikawa Shipbuilding, Nippon Steel, Nippon Oil and Mitsubishi Heavy industry and other multinational companies.

On the Keiyo Industrial Belt on the east side of Tokyo Bay, there are 2 large iron and steel plants, 2 large oil refineries, 4 petrochemical plants and Mitsui Shipbuilding, etc., which makes Tokyo Bay the largest heavy industry and chemical industry in Japan. Industrial Base.

Once the Tokyo Bay port group is closed, daily losses can be calculated at tens of billions of dollars!

If it weren't for the tragedy that happened on the Maine Coon Bulldog to attract the attention of the people in the United States and Canada, the closure of the Tokyo Bay port group is still dominating the headlines.

Now the whole of Japan is rushing to repair the Tokyo Bay port group, and the prime minister and more than half of the cabinet members have moved their offices directly to the port. The best construction crews in the country were dispatched for repairs and the best marine parasite experts to deal with shipworms.

Now Qin Shiou realized the strength of his Sea God's Heart. The vitality and reproduction ability of these strengthened shipworms has reached the point where experts are terrified. Japan has been unable to deal with them, and invited excellent related experts from all over the world. Go ahead and deal with it.

At first, the Japanese government used conventional methods to deal with these shipworms, using high pressure to inject chemicals into the wood to kill the shipworms. But this is useless, these shipworms are very resistant to poison, and the chemical agents have to reach a super high concentration to kill them.

No way, the Japanese have used the most effective drug against shipworms that is currently recognized in the world. This is the worst strategy to kill one thousand enemies and harm eight hundred, because the main ingredients are wood tar, chromate and copper arsenate, which can protect wood and kill shipworms. But it can also pollute the marine environment.

The Japanese government doesn't care about protecting the ecological environment of Tokyo Bay anymore. Now it only needs to get rid of these shipworms and restore the normal operation of the port group. Sadly, this doesn't work either. It was effective in the initial stage and killed a batch of shipworms. Soon they develop resistance...

After this incident, not only the Japanese government was frightened, but other countries were also frightened, and they interrupted the shipping trade with the Tokyo Bay port group.

The Japanese government is also considered to be aboveboard. After they discovered the horror of this shipworm, they closed the ships in the port group. All timber ships were smashed and burned to ensure that the super strong shipworm would not spread out of Tokyo Bay.

Fortunately, there are very few wooden boats these days. The Tokyo Bay port group is an industrial port area, and steel giant ships with a thousand tons or even more than 10,000 tons come and go, which limits the spread of new shipworms.

The European media also gave these shipworms a name, because they are as long and tough as a whip, so they were named "God's Whip", which means that this thing is used by God to punish human beings.

The name God's Whip has only appeared twice in European history. The first time it was given to Attila, the king of the Huns who was easy to kill, the second time it was given to the Mongolian cavalry under Kublai Khan, and now the third time The first time it appeared, it was given to a group of small sea creatures.

After reading the introduction, Qin Shiou was amazed: "These shipworms are really scary."

Uncle Hei nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "The Japanese are too unfortunate. They have suffered a lot this time. The port group is still closed. I don't know when it will be opened."

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "I can only bless God and bless them, and hope that he can take back that whip as soon as possible. Let's go, we should prepare for dinner."

For dinner, he had steamed sausages, but Butler couldn't eat them. He thought the seasonings in the sausages were too strong, which would affect his health.

Qin Shiou ate it with relish, and the sausage made from local pork was more fragrant and chewy. As for the impact on health? He felt that the seasoning was much greener than the big ma, and Butler was afraid of affecting his health when he smoked the big ma. (To be continued.)
