Material Empire

"Mr. Gusev, Mr. Ekin, as far as we know, you held several lectures in Yiping City a few days ago, in which you said that RX is a highly toxic chemical. Is this true? ?”

Qin Hai was the first to speak. He didn't go around any circles and asked the question directly.

The site was specially equipped with translators, who could translate the Daqin Group’s speech into English for Gusev and the others, and also translate Gusev’s answers into Chinese for the Daqin Group’s personnel and the entire audience. The translation adopts the method of simultaneous interpretation, which saves the time for both parties to talk.

Hearing Qin Hai's question, Gusev could only answer honestly: "Yes, this is our point of view."

"The international chemical industry recognizes that RX is only a low-toxic chemical. When the concentration in the air reaches 100 mg per cubic meter, a healthy person will only cause headaches and dizziness if the concentration reaches 100 mg per cubic meter. 500 mg, it will not cause life-threatening within five minutes. RX is soluble in water, and drinking its 1% aqueous solution within 100 grams will not cause fatal danger. Excuse me, on what basis do you call this chemical a highly toxic chemical Taste?"

Xia Yangjie stood up and questioned Gusev in a straight voice.

"Isn't this probably due to the difference in our understanding of the concept of extreme poison?" Gusev said.

"Excuse me, what standard is your understanding based on? Is it from the World Health Organization, the European Union, or the chemical industry association?" Xia Yangjie asked aggressively.

"Yes..." Gusev faltered for a moment. Before, he had told the citizens of Yiping that they spoke in accordance with the standards of the WHO and the European Union, but this time, he dared not say it again. up. He believes that if he dares to say this, the other party will definitely let him report the number of the international standard. He clearly saw that a browser window has been opened on the big screen, which means that he is ready to search for relevant standards online at any time.

"We have our own standards," Ekin replied to Gusev. "Our standards are higher than those of the WHO."

Qin Hai stood up and said with a sneer: "According to your standards, even gasoline is classified as a highly toxic chemical, because the chemical properties of gasoline are similar to those of RX. Everyone, everyone thinks it makes sense to include gasoline as a highly toxic chemical. ?"

He said the last sentence to the audience, which immediately caused a burst of laughter. Yes, gasoline is also somewhat toxic, and even those who claim to like the smell of gasoline can get headaches after smelling it for too long. But calling this substance a highly toxic chemical is too subverting everyone's three views. If RX is a substance like gasoline, why do you need to go to war so much?

Gusev didn't say a word. At this time, it was obviously more rational to keep silent than to say a word, because he really didn't have any solid reasons to refute the words of Qin Hai, Xia Yangjie and others.

Xia Yangjie did not let them go, he continued: "Also, it is said that you told everyone that the RX device is prone to explosion, and once it explodes, it will bring devastating results. According to our statistics, more than 100,000 tons of RX equipment in the world There are more than 200 sets of devices, and there are as many as 10 sets of million-ton devices, can you tell me, in such a long time, has any RX device had an explosion accident?"

"I admit that it hasn't happened." Gusev replied, "But it hasn't happened, but it doesn't mean that there won't be an explosion. After all, the risk of an explosion is still very high."

Of course Xia Yangjie would not leave such a big loophole for Gusev to catch, he made a signal to Yu Lihong beside him, Yu Lihong stood up and said, "Mr. Gusev, who told you that RX Is there a high risk of device explosion? RX devices are ordinary low-voltage equipment, and the design of today's RX devices is very mature, with a large margin reserved, and its explosion risk ranks low among various chemical devices Regarding this point, I can cite the documents of Cox, Plama and others as proof, these people are well-known security technology experts in the chemical industry, I don’t think you will feel unfamiliar with it?”

Speaking of which, the operator displayed the PDF texts of several documents on the big screen. Although most of the audience in the audience could not understand English, let alone read such highly professional documents, they saw After seeing such a text, everyone still has a little more trust in Lihong's words.

Gusev fell into silence again. He knew a long time ago that if he wanted to debate face-to-face with the members of the Daqin Group, he would definitely lose. What he and Ekin said these days cannot withstand scrutiny at all, unless he cheats in public and firmly refuses to admit the evidence presented by the other party. But the people in the audience are not fools, would they just sit back and watch him play tricks?

At this time, Chen Lusha who was sitting in the front row stood up and said loudly to Yu Lihong who was on the stage:

"But, Chief Engineer Yu, no matter what the security experts say, the RX device is still risky, right?"

Yu Lihong nodded and replied: "Of course, any chemical plant will have risks, but there are differences in the magnitude of the risks."

Chen Lusha said: "Since this is the case, then what's wrong with us opposing Daqin Group's construction of the RX project in the suburbs of Yiping?"

Qin Hai took over the conversation and said, "Ma'am, let me answer your question. When Daqin Group built the Yiping RX project, we had fully estimated the risks of the installation, so we built the installation in a place far away from the urban area. A safety zone is set up around the place, and various chemical defense measures are equipped with the purpose of avoiding any contingencies. Even if the Daqin RX project has a serious explosion or leakage incident according to the smallest probability, its pollution It is also limited to the safe zone and will not affect the environment of Yiping City."

"However, foreign RX devices are all more than 100 kilometers away from the city. Why is Daqin's RX project so close to the city?" Chen Lusha raised the most critical question.

Qin Hai smiled. He looked at Chen Lusha and asked calmly, "Ma'am, who did you hear that foreign RX devices are all more than 100 kilometers away from the city?"

"Isn't this an international norm?" Chen Lusha said thoughtfully. After Gusev's brainwashing, Chen Lusha has taken this point as a natural truth. Even though Gusev and others have suffered a crushing defeat in the previous debate, Chen Lusha has not doubted the authenticity of the so-called "100-kilometer principle".

Of course, Qin Hai knew that this was the point of view peddled by Gusev and others, and he was fully prepared to expose this lie here. Compared with the toxicity of RX, the safety of the device, etc., the site selection is easier for ordinary people to understand. If Gusev and others can be hit head-on on this issue, the effect will be far better than that of Xia Yangjie, The data and literature cited by Yu Lihong and the others.

Hearing what Chen Lusha said, Qin Hai pointed to Gusev and Ekin, and asked, "Ma'am, did these two tell you that the RX device must be 100 kilometers away from the city?"

Chen Lusha hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "It seems that they were the first to say that...and other people also said that."

"The other people you mentioned probably came to this understanding after hearing what they said, right?" Qin Hai asked.

Chen Lusha retorted: "Boss Qin, isn't this the truth?"

Qin Haidao: "Whether it is true or not is actually very easy to verify. Let me ask you a question first. Singapore is a big producer of RX products in the world. Do you know this?"

"This... I've heard people say it." Chen Lusha replied, she paused, and added: "By the way, I remember that Mr. Gusev introduced it. He said that although Singapore is a petrochemical industry, it is very important. Developed countries, but they are very concerned about petrochemical safety, and their petrochemical plants are not built in urban areas at all, but on an island."

"That's right. That island is called Jurong Island. I visited it before." Qin Hai said, "However, this island is not 100 kilometers away from the main city of Singapore, because if it is 100 kilometers away, the island is 100 kilometers away. I went to Indonesia. In fact, Jurong Island is only separated from the main city of Singapore by a narrow trench, and it is less than five kilometers away from the main city.”

"It's impossible!" Chen Lusha cried out. These days, the concept of 100 kilometers has taken root in her heart, and she has mentioned to her friends more than once how to go abroad. Qin Hai suddenly told her that this island is less than five kilometers away from the main city of Singapore. Subverted her cognition, how can she accept it.

However, in her heart, there was some faint feeling of uneasiness. Many things that are taken for granted, in fact, cannot withstand careful consideration. Although she has never been to Singapore, at least she knows that Singapore is a city-state. The entire country is not even as big as a county below Yiping. How can such a small country build a chemical plant 100 kilometers away? Woolen cloth?

At this time, Qin Ling who was sitting on the rostrum stood up suddenly. She walked slowly to the front of the stage, waved to everyone, and said with a smile, "Hi everyone, I am Qin Ling, do you still remember me?"

This ordinary greeting immediately mobilized the atmosphere of the audience. In this square, maybe 2 out of 10 people have heard of Qin Hai's name, but at least 9 people know the singer Qin Ling. Hearing Qin Ling greet everyone, everyone on the field became noisy, some shouted "Qin Ling, I love you", some waved their hands desperately trying to attract Qin Ling's attention, many people forgot that they were here to listen to the debate, Their love for idols far exceeds their interest in RX.

Qin Ling is no stranger to this kind of scene, she waved her hand to everyone, and then said:

"It's a great pleasure to come to Yiping. However, I'm here today to share with you some of my experience. Just now, the sister in the audience said that she didn't believe that Singapore's petrochemical plants are so close to the city. I happened to be there recently. Singapore participated in a performance, and I would like to share a video of the performance with you here, are you interested?"
