Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters poisonous factory

"What, isn't this a laundry detergent production line?" Yue Huanshan was also a little confused when he heard this. He vaguely felt that there might be some dirty background in this matter.

Otherwise, why did Zou Rirong say that another production line was a laundry detergent production line?

The county magistrate of Tiandong County responded a little slower, and he decided: "Mr. Zou said that his washing powder is a new product, which is different from traditional washing powder. So, this production line is also possible, right?"

Liu Yongzhuo shook his head and said, "County Magistrate Qin, it may be like a mountain. You may not know much about some things in our chemical equipment industry. Strictly speaking, the production of laundry detergent is a process-based production. This set of equipment cannot be called a production line, but should be called a production device."

"The corresponding production equipment is the production process. Different types of products have completely different production processes and production equipment is also completely different."

"Our Xinghua News Agency and Qingzhu Chemical Group also have business dealings. Many companies also produce laundry detergent production devices, so our company has researched on various types of laundry detergent devices around the world. These devices are constantly changing, and the basic process flow will not be much different."

"The molecular formula of laundry detergent is very simple, and the synthesis process is not complicated. At the simplest time, a handicraft workshop can be produced. The so-called new type of laundry detergent is just adding some additives to it, which cannot change the basic process of laundry detergent."

"But this drawing looks very complicated, with many reaction processes involved, and many reaction devices have high pressure and corrosion resistance requirements. If you use this process to produce laundry detergent, I'm afraid the business owner will lose money to sell his pants."

"Ah?" The county magistrate of Tiandong County was speechless. He didn't know so many twists and turns. He had never heard of two years of fine chemical engineering as a county magistrate.

"So, Mr. Liu, can you tell what device is producing?" Zhao Caizhen asked Liu Yongzhuo with her eyes shining. She had a premonition that her struggle might have had some unexpected results.

Liu Yongzhuo shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this. Let's see if our expert Mr. An Haoyu can see a clue."

An Haoyu still maintained a frown expression. At this time, another chemical equipment engineer named Zhang Wenqi who came with them also came over and pondered the drawing with An Haoyu. The more the two of them thought about it, the ugly the face became. In the end, it was almost gloomy as if it was about to rain.

"Lao An, what's the matter?" Liu Yongzhuo saw that the two of them looked wrong and asked quickly.

An Haoyu asked Zhang Wenqi: "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Wenqi's expression was also very solemn: "I think this seems a bit like the synthesis process of some kind of methoxycarbon-based derivative. Vice President An, you should know what I mean."

"Yes, I thought of that too." An Haoyu said with a dark face.

"Lao An. What's this and that?" Liu Yongzhuo was not very clear about the chemical industry and quickly asked.

An Haoyu sighed softly and said in a calm tone: "I can't believe it yet, but I suspect that this is a Leguo synthesis device."

"Leguo! Are you sure?" After hearing this word, Liu Yongzhuo couldn't help but scream.

"I'm not sure yet, but based on my experience with Mr. Zhang, it's not much different." An Haoyu said in a low voice. Liu Yongzhuo knew that An Haoyu had always been a very cautious person. He said that what he said was not much different was basically certain.

In the eyes of laymen, chemical equipment is very different and mysterious, but in the eyes of experts like An Haoyu and Zhang Wenqi, all kinds of equipment have rules to follow. After a little analysis, you can guess the combination process.

"What is Leguo?" Yue Huanshan looked at Liu Yongzhuo in confusion and asked.

Liu Yongzhuo's face also changed. He explained: "Leguo is the name of the original powder of an insecticide. The full English name is dimethoate. It is highly toxic and can poison all living things that come into contact with it."

"In actual use, lecola must be mixed with other raw materials and diluted 10,000 times before it can be used in agricultural production. Due to its extremely toxicity, our country has strictly prohibited its production at home, and Britain, the United States and other countries are also rushing to follow suit and transfer the application of chemicals that are widely used in agricultural production to develop to develop countries."

The pure Leguo product is white needle-like crystals, with a solubility in water at room temperature of 39 grams per liter. It is easy to be absorbed by plants and transported to the whole plant. It is relatively stable in acidic solution and is hydrolyzed rapidly in alkaline solution, so it cannot be mixed with alkaline pesticides.

One of the varieties with wide-purpose and large yields in organophosphorus intravenous insecticides is the chemical name methylcarbamylmethyl) dithiophosphate.

Speaking of which, the brand Leguo is also Donald Industrial's flagship product in the chemical industry. It was discovered by a chemist at Qingzhu Chemical in 1938 that it has insecticidal effects. It began to be developed and promoted by the Guwenhui branch in the United States in 1939, and was widely used for mite removal.

In the past decade, this product has been produced in the United States. The Huaxia Federation has known the dangers of this chemical from the very beginning, so it is not allowed to establish production lines in China. Instead, it is manufactured by the United States and finally resold the finished product back to China for practical use.

Although it costs a lot of extra shipping, it is actually very worth it.

Over the past decade, the United States has also known the harm of this kind of thing, and even several major safety accidents have occurred, causing the death of thousands of people. So now the US government has also learned from the Chinese Federation to ban the production of related chemicals in China and transfer production lines to other countries.

"Then why did Zou Rirong say that his factory is absolutely not polluted?" Li Yuegen was anxious. He was the vice president of the Environmental Protection Committee. He had to take responsibility for such a big mistake.

Liu Yongzhuo took the drawings and looked at them again: "From the design of this production process, he can indeed achieve no pollution to the local environment. If there is no problem with the production equipment, the pollution caused by this pesticide factory is even inferior to that of an ordinary plastic factory."

"But if there is a problem with its installation, then the entire Baise will suffer a catastrophe like the Bhopal City in India." An Haoyu said in a cold tone.

Bhopal City!

Everyone felt a chill on their backs, as if they had fallen into an ice cave in the cold winter.

Just a year ago, United Carbide Company established United Carbide India branch in the northern suburbs of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. The fact that this inconspicuous name conceals is that the factory produces pesticides such as Dimetvie and Siviin, and its raw material is a highly toxic gas called methyl isocyanate.

Americans are well aware of the dangers of this highly toxic gas, and out of supremacy. They prohibited the establishment of such factories in the United States, but moved the factories to faraway India.

In the early morning of December 3, 1950, a steel tank in which the United Carbide India Branch stored liquid methyl isocyanate fat occurred. 40 tons of poison gas spread out and quickly enveloped the entire city of Bhopal.

People were awakened by the stimulation of poisonous gas in their sleep. They ran out of their homes in panic and tried to escape. Many people were poisoned and died before they could run far away.

In just three days after the incident, the number of deaths officially announced by India alone reached 34,000. The ** report released by the Indian Medical Research Council later showed that this number should be between 8,000 and 10,000.

And according to relevant professionals from Hualian, in the next years, more than 30,000 people will likely die from sequelae directly caused by poison gas. Six hundred thousand people will die from poison-related diseases, and it is likely that hundreds of thousands of people will be permanently disabled.

This incident has caused a lot of trouble throughout Asia, and the Hualian government also attaches great importance to it.

Unexpectedly, someone is now going to set up such a chemical factory in the hinterland of southwestern China, so how can the officials here be able to hold on?

If there is a real possibility, it wouldn’t be enough to just hand over a resignation letter!

"Mr. An, can you be sure that this device is used to produce Leguo? Also, if Leguo leaks, will its impact really be as serious as Bhopal?" As the mayor, Yue Huanshan asked An Haoyu in sweat.

He has a local household registration, his wife, children, children, and countless relatives and friends are all in the local area. If such a tragedy really happens, he will not forgive himself no matter what.

"Mayor Yue, where is this Zou Rirong now?" Liu Yongzhuo asked without hesitation. At this time, he was undoubtedly really angry.

"The others are in Baise." County Magistrate Qin knew this. "He was in Tiandong yesterday and talked to us about speeding up the construction progress. Today I went to the city. It seems that there are still some procedures to go through."

"Issue a subpoena, you can't let him leave the city!" Liu Yongzhuo acted directly, "Mayor Yue, no matter whether Tiandong Chemical Factory is really a Leguo pesticide manufacturer, his behavior of hiding his head and tail is suspected of fraud. He must first control this person through the judicial department, and then ask experts to analyze this production device."

"If it can be proved that this device is indeed a Leguo production device, then Zou Rirong will be a very evil crime, and it is not an exaggeration to sentence him to more than ten years."

"What should I be shot directly in more than ten years? Such a person is simply a national sinner!" Zhao Caizhen's face turned red. The result of this incident was far beyond her imagination, and it also made her leave her angry.

This kind of dangerous enterprises that the Chinese federal government explicitly prohibits from being deployed locally, has been introduced from the United States to China in a fascinating way. It is a light to call such people a national sinner.

"Is it appropriate to sue directly?" Yue Huanshan asked hesitantly, "Mr. Liu, you don't know that we are all providing for investors like our ancestors. If we don't serve well, we will be criticized by the city council. How dare we launch a public prosecution in the name of the government for vain?"

"If we make a mistake in some place, make the matter wrong, and offend investors, I personally am criticized by public opinion. If the investor leaves in anger, how can we explain to the citizens?"

Zhao Caizhen glanced at Yue Huanshan, a small mayor who was a worker, with disdain. In her opinion, Yue Huanshan's words may be more likely to believe that it would be better if he offended investors and the local economy could not develop. It would be too unfair that his position as deputy mayor could not be kept.

Liu Yongzhuo had a tough attitude: "No, this matter is of great importance and may not be something that you Baise City can bear. Mayor Yue, I suggest reporting this to the province in advance. If they agree, I suggest reporting it to the national security department immediately. This is a major case involving national security."

This is absolutely true. This type of case applies to the Public Safety Law enacted by the federal government. Once a bad business dares to touch the bottom line, it will immediately endanger public safety. This is not a commercial crime, but a felony equivalent to treason!

Yue Huanshan also knew that he could not bear it. He quickly flashed out of the house and took out his cell phone to report the matter to the Standing Committee of the Municipal and Provincial Parliament.

Of course, when reporting, he deliberately emphasized the important role he played in this matter. It was precisely because of his serious proof-seeking mentality that he asked the experts of Huayang Heavy Industry to assist in the appraisal, thus avoiding a possible major event.

Although Yue Huanshan is a worker, if you can become the head of a city, it is definitely not something that can be done by being "simple and honest".

The council presidents of the city and province were frightened when they heard Yu Ping's report. They were eager to invest, but at the same time they knew that some money could not be earned.

Since the matter has not been verified, it is not convenient for them to prosecute Zou Rirong directly as Liu Yongzhuo suggested. However, they still have enough solutions to keep the person.

As long as you let out a wind, the road to the mountain collapsed and could not pass for a while, Zou Rirong could only stay in Baise and wait.

It was only two days before everything was investigated, and the Baise Municipal Government also filed a public prosecution against Zou Rirong. The case was handed over to the federal court for trial. Because the case was serious, the FBI also sent a specialist to conduct a secret interrogation of Zou Rirong.

"Okay, let's talk about it, what's going on?" The FBI sent a middle-aged man named He Bingyan. He gently patted a stack of files on the table and said to Zou Rirong, who was sitting on the interrogation chair.

As Liu Yongzhuo said, the serious nature of this case is no longer something that Baise City can handle on its own.

Baise discovered such a thing. If it is not reported to the relevant departments of the superiors, if Zou Rirong goes to other places to build such a chemical factory in the future. If something happens to the chemical factory and causes a tragedy, then the final responsibility will be held accountable and the people like Yue Huanshan must be found.

After obtaining the consent of the Baise Municipal Government, Liu Yongzhuo asked An Haoyu to take pictures of the drawings, and made a special trip to the Tiandong Chemical Factory construction site that was under construction, took pictures of the layout of the workshop, and then sent the information to the Xinghua News Agency headquarters and Nanjing by email.

With the Liu family's connections, this thing was easily delivered to the head of state Chen Jiongming, and it attracted the attention of the cabinet. A specialist was immediately sent to the trial.

After He Bingyan received the information, he did not delay for a moment and immediately contacted several chemical experts for identification.

These people specialize in this type of device, and you can see at a glance that this is obviously a set of Leke's production equipment. According to the production capacity of the device, if there are various natural disasters that cause leakage, it can at least cause thousands of people to be killed or injured locally.

"Issuing an arrest warrant immediately!" Nanjing, Minister of Health and Safety, issued an order directly to the two gangs of investigative bureaus in Baise City and Guizhou Province. The local police departments did not have the chance to get started. The FBI people blocked Zou Rirong in the hotel room.

He Bingyan also arrived quickly. He flew from Nanjing to Guilin, the provincial capital of Guizhou Province, and then took a deputy and drove a Grand Cherokee into the mountain.

The so-called drivers from other places cannot drive Baise's mountain roads, which is also aimed at different people. He Bingyan, a strictly trained federal agent, drove his car all the way into the mountain himself, and there was no risk.

As soon as He Bingyan arrived, he asked someone to arrange for an interrogation of Zou Rirong. When Zou Rirong saw this situation, he knew that the matter had been exposed, so he no longer made unnecessary denial and directly admitted that this was a production device for Leguo.

"Do you know that Leguo is prohibited from being produced in our country?" He Bingyan asked without hesitation at the beginning.

"I know." Zou Rirong was dejected.

After hearing this answer, He Bingyan's face turned even more ugly: "Then why did you introduce it to our country? Don't you know how dangerous this is?"

Zou Rirong nodded and said, "Of course I know its risks, so I have made several improvements to this device to improve its safety factor. I can guarantee that under normal use, the probability of an accident is zero."

He Bingyan knew that Zou Rirong was telling the truth. When he was in Nanjing, the old experts had already pointed out that the safety of this device was still very high. Although he dared not say that the safety was 100%, it was still possible to reach several 9 after the decimal point.

However, matters that matters that are at stake in human life cannot be considered so optimistic.

"You mean the normal use situation, do you know how the pesticide factory in Bhopal City, India happened?" He Bingyan asked without hesitation.

Zou Rirong was lost: "I know that it was because of the worker's operation error that caused the water to enter the pressure vessel and then react with the cyanide stored in it, causing an explosion."

"Can you avoid similar mistakes in this device now?"

Zou Rirong wanted to struggle and make excuses, but finally shook his head slowly and said, "I have tried my best to improve its safety, but no one can guarantee that there will be no human error. The reasons for human error are diverse, and people's behavior cannot be predicted in theory."

"It's good that you know this." He Bingyan gradually calmed down his anger, "Do you know what the nature of what you are doing? You build the life safety of hundreds of thousands of people on the fact that your device does not fail, and you admit that you can't predict all kinds of human errors at all." (To be continued...)
