Chapter 653 The Road Ahead (Part 1)

At 4 a.m., the Congress Hall was silent. Everyone was looking at a motion submitted by Le Xiao from Section 13 on the light and shadow screen.

Le Xiao looked at the motion in front of her quietly. She was very nervous. The air was unusually heavy. Many people frowned. She had been here for an hour, but except for the first speech, the voices gradually disappeared.

This motion was very long, much longer than any other motion Le Xiao had seen before. Many parts were written in great detail, and there were also a lot of survey data and analytical conjectures. Before coming in, Le Xiao heard from Gary Locke that this was a motion that Ji Mo had spent three years writing.

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

The six gods did not say anything, but were examining the proposal. Wu Qun knew very well that whoever spoke first would cause what kind of situation at this time, and the more than 300 business families and celebrities in the audience were silent, and everyone had a bad expression.

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

The gully is nearly 2 kilometers deep, and now the waste has accumulated to a height of nearly 1 kilometer, so there will be a stinky area on the edge. Most of the people living on the edge of the city have lung diseases and need to undergo lung dust treatment for a period of time.

This metropolis with a population of more than 30 million has an area of ​​nearly 7,000 square kilometers, a straight-line distance of more than 350 kilometers from north to south, and a distance of nearly 200 kilometers from east to west. The length of the gullies in the east and west is nearly 500 kilometers. According to the content of the proposal, at least 10 waste treatment plants need to be built.

Many wastes have solidified. This problem will be faced by the city sooner or later. However, the implementation is too difficult, which is more difficult than the establishment of the agricultural base in the barrier area. The proposal states that 1,000 small and medium-sized enterprises can be dispatched to work together to carry out the construction.

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

Although medical technology is now advanced and can directly remove harmful substances from the lungs without harming the surface cells of the lungs, these harmful particles still have great harm to the middle and lower classes of the city.

Everyone was at a loss at this moment, because everyone knew that if nothing was done, one day, the waste would continue to pile up, causing great damage to the ecology of the entire city, and if it was handled, the current situation would cause serious distortion of the city's social structure.

In addition to the technical level, the more than 600 companies with a current economic deficit do not have the technology in this area. Indeed, this proposal can make more than 600 of their companies alive and mobilize the operation of the economy.

Hu Youran and Duke were sitting in the audience. Duke had a smile on his face, but his expression was not relaxed. He kept wiping sweat, while Hu Youran looked solemn. The necessity of the proposal is currently available, but the implementation of the proposal may bring about a huge loss of control of the capital market. Once the capital is out of control, the risk will increase exponentially, just like a ship with a severely aged bottom that suddenly hit a reef. This hole is plugged, and that hole appears again. The leak is constantly plugged, but the ship is actually sinking.

Everyone has selectively avoided this issue for so many years. Someone once proposed burying it, which is indeed the most convenient method, but it is also the most irresponsible method.

No one can make a decision on this matter easily. In fact, Hu Youran remembered that someone had mentioned the establishment of a waste treatment plant a long time ago, but such a proposal had never been brought up in the city meeting, and no one was willing to mention it.

Now that the problem has been put on the table, everyone began to feel a little overwhelmed, because many people were thinking about solving it later.

The most clear point in the proposal is that Districts 113 and 114 are directly included in this proposal. There is no need to continue to build two districts, but to start this proposal directly in the two bottom districts in the southwest, and directly establish a supply chain from the straight line distance between the two districts to the upper district.

At this time, Hu Youran noticed that many businessmen around him were whispering from time to time, and their voices were very low. He knew very well that people from these big companies would not support this proposal because the risk cost was too high. Not everyone is as lucky as the Angus family, who can get high returns after gamble everything. The times are different, the opportunities and environment are different, and the success of their family cannot be replicated.

"So does anyone want to speak? Everyone in the audience, 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 for cities, 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 Brilliant City. I have a question to ask!”

The Orange God nodded. Many people have heard from their fathers that when Brilliant City was first established, it was the Orange God who surveyed every inch of land and drew the design of 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 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?
