Of course Jiang Si knew that asbestos tiles cause cancer, otherwise she would not have written an anonymous letter and posted it in the military district's suggestion box.

However, after the anonymous letter was sent, it never received any response.

She thought that this matter would just be over.

I didn't expect Huo Tingzhou to bring it up again today.

Could it be that the military district believed her words and was preparing to take measures?

It should be 㱕!

Otherwise, Huo Tingzhou wouldn't have spoken in such a tone, let alone looked at her with such eyes.

Perhaps because she hesitated for too long, Huo Tingzhou mistakenly thought that she didn't even remember what asbestos tiles were.

"When we were building our courtyard, didn't the people from the fire department bring over some gray-white stuff? That was asbestos tile."

"Then you said you didn't like it, so we changed it to linoleum."

Jiang Si said "oh", and at this time she could only agree with him.

"Now that you mention it, I remember it."

After saying that, he looked over with a puzzled look on his face, "Can this thing cause cancer?"

"right."

Huo Tingzhou nodded, his expression somewhat solemn.

"A few months ago, the military region received an anonymous letter. At first, the investigation team thought that someone was deliberately sabotaging it in order to shake the morale of the troops."

"But they went to the military hospital to investigate and found that the number of patients admitted to the respiratory and thoracic surgery departments in the past two years has increased several times compared to previous years."

Nowadays, when you see a doctor, you have to take a triplicate form, which contains specific information about the hospital and the patient.

So the investigation team quickly got a specific list.

According to statistics, 30% of those who came to see the doctor were flight crew and ground crew members from the flight base.

Most of the rest were farm workers in the army.

Without exception, both places replaced their factory roofs with asbestos tiles two years ago.

The investigation team rushed to the scene immediately.

As the anonymous letter said, the asbestos tiles on these factory buildings have been damaged on a large scale.

The reason is not clear from the anonymous letter: Qiongzhou Island has high temperatures and heavy rains in summer.

Strong winds, heavy rains, typhoons, and salt spray corrosion will accelerate the aging of asbestos tiles.

Once asbestos tiles are old and damaged, the asbestos fibers inside will enter the body through the respiratory tract.

When the investigation team first read the anonymous letter, they thought it was a bit exaggerated.

How could a small piece of asbestos tile have such a destructive power?

Until they looked at the internal structure of asbestos tiles under a microscope.

Hearing this, Jiang Si couldn't help but ask, "Did the investigation team report the facts?"

Huo Tingzhou: "Well, this matter involves many people, and it cannot be concealed even if we want to."

Jiang Si was silent for a moment after hearing this. More than three months had passed since she sent the anonymous letter.

Even if it was reported to higher levels, it wouldn't take so long.

Although she had guessed the reason in her mind, she still asked.

"Since it has been confirmed that this thing is harmful, why haven't you removed it now?"

Hearing this, Huo Tingzhou looked somewhat helpless.

"Insufficient military spending is only one reason. There is another reason."

"If we demolish a large area of ​​it now or publicize that this thing is harmful, it will probably cause panic among the people."

Jiang Si said nothing more after hearing this.

As the saying goes, a single move can affect the entire body, so it is understandable that the above considerations are taken into account.

But the price is a bit too high.

Just when she sighed helplessly, Huo Tingzhou suddenly said.

"But this afternoon we received an emergency notice that the troops need to reinforce the training base and the factory buildings below, so we will be temporarily closed for three days."

A three-day temporary holiday?
