Zhao Yan heard about the need to deal with the ecological environment of Qinghe Village in Dai Li's factory.

The local authorities have not yet issued an official notice, so Zhao Yan informed everyone in advance.

After hearing what Zhao Yan said, the villagers started talking among themselves.

Li Ergou showed disdain: "This isn't the first time we've dealt with it, and it's still the same after the treatment."

He never thought that he was the cause of the destruction of the ecological environment, and only felt that the effectiveness of environmental governance was very limited.

Zhao Yan said angrily, "Wait until you shut down your small factory, and then you'll see the results of the governance."

Li Ergou stiffened his neck and said, "I've stopped now, so I'll see what effect they can have."

"The treatment effect will definitely be better than when you guys secretly discharged it." After Zhao Yan said that, he closed the gate of his yard and went back to talk business with his childhood friend.

The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment, and then dispersed in anger and returned to their homes.

As Zhao Yan said, local authorities came to Qinghe Village in the afternoon to inform everyone that a new round of ecological environment governance is about to start, and the entire village has now officially entered a stage of strict management.

The environmental problems in Qinghe Village have troubled local authorities for many years. They have too many concerns and have been unable to take drastic measures to deal with the problem. They are indeed negligent in their work.

They became famous this time, although it was not a good fame, but they should also thank this exposure for making them decide to make up their minds to completely solve the ecological situation of Qinghe River.

They immediately set up a Qinghe Environmental Protection Committee, intending to wage a long-term battle against the ecology of Qinghe.

Just at this time, Guan Honghou and Lao Kang contacted them. The goals of both parties were the same, and they were very willing to cooperate with DL Company's plan.

From the perspective of benefits, DL can save their local finance department a lot of money by taking charge of ecological governance.

After readjusting Qinghe’s environmental protection guidelines, members of the environmental protection team officially arrived in Qinghe Village.

They posted notices everywhere in the village, strictly prohibiting the illegal smelting of rare and precious metals from electronic waste, and any indiscriminate discharge and disposal of such waste is also strictly prohibited.

They can let bygones be bygones for all previous behaviors, but in the future, anyone who dares to discharge pollutants secretly will be severely punished if caught. They have also set up a reward program for reporting to encourage villagers to supervise each other.

Posting a notice is not enough. The environmental protection team recorded a broadcast and played it in a loop throughout the village to serve as a warning.

Now no one can make the excuse that they didn't see the announcement.

Not only that, the environmental protection team also went to every household to seal their equipment, and also sealed the sewage storage tanks, waiting for centralized treatment later.

Neither the production of wastewater nor the discharge of wastewater will be allowed.

If the exposure of social news made the villagers feel uneasy and Zhao Yan's warning made them confused, then the behavior of the Qinghe Environmental Protection Group today made the villagers feel as if the end of the world had come.

This time we are serious, unlike before where we could just avoid the limelight and continue production.

The villagers stopped the head of the environmental protection team and asked a lot of questions.

"Will we all be unable to continue doing the scrap business in the future?"

Environmental Protection Group: "I'm telling you very clearly that you can no longer operate the waste disposal business, and your waste processing machines can no longer be used."

Villagers: "The scrap business is no longer viable and we are starving."

Environmental Protection Group: "If the scrap business doesn't work for you, try another one. There are plenty of profitable businesses out there."

Villagers: "You make it sound easy. You have stable jobs with government jobs, but my whole family depends on the scrap business for a living. You've just destroyed our jobs."

Environmental Protection Group: "Qinghe Village, like you, must also suspend operations and undergo inspections starting today. No one here complains about being implicated by you. The entire village is actively cooperating with the inspection. What are you still dissatisfied with?"

The Qinghe villagers were suddenly speechless.

Like Qinghe Village, Qinghezhuang also started its waste recycling business ten years ago and gradually expanded it to a village-based scale.

However, the people in Qinghezhuang are more law-abiding than the villagers in Qinghe Village. There is no problem of illegal discharge. The sewage they produce is treated in a centralized manner before being discharged.

Although profits have decreased, the ecological environment of Qinghezhuang has always been well protected.

However, Qinghe Village, which strictly abides by the emission standards, is plagued by the sewage from Qinghe River.

Because Qinghezhuang is located in the lower reaches of Qinghe River, the sewage discharged indiscriminately by Qinghe Village eventually flows into Qinghezhuang.

The river water flows to Qinghe Village and is diluted by streams along the way. Although it is not as dirty as Qinghe Village itself, it is not much better.

In the past, people in Qinghe Village relied on the Qinghe River for washing clothes and cooking for generations. Fifty or sixty years ago, they would even go to the river to fetch water for drinking.

At that time, everyone born by the Qinghe River had drunk the water of the Qinghe River. It was the mother river Qinghe River that nurtured the people on both sides of the river.

Now, no one dares to drink water, let alone take a shower.

The elders always love to reminisce about the past with the younger generations, telling them how clear the water of Qinghe River used to be, how abundant the fish and shrimp were, and how they used to cool down in Qinghe River in the summer...

Young people yearn for Qinghe River very much, but they will never see the crystal clear water of Qinghe River again.

Due to the pollution of Qinghe River, the relationship between Qinghezhuang and Qinghe Village has been bad in recent years.

Everyone doesn't interact with each other, and sometimes they even quarrel over Qinghe.

This time, construction in Qinghe Village was stopped, and the people in Qinghe Village didn’t know how they would curse them behind their backs.

Contrary to what the villagers of Qinghe Village thought, the people of Qinghe Village were now celebrating and even wished they could set off firecrackers on the spot.

The scrap factory in Qinghe Village was finally forced to stop!

They didn't know how long they had been waiting for this day.

So what if they were implicated and had to stop working? Their production is compliant and legal, and they will naturally be allowed to continue working after inspection.

Even if the scrap business becomes more sensitive in the future and they are not allowed to do it anymore, the worst that can happen is that they can just change to another industry.

Restoring the ecology of our mother river is the most important thing.

It can be said that the people of Qinghe Village care about the ecology of Qinghe River more than the villagers of Qinghe River. After hearing that the Qinghe River management would start the next day, most of the villagers took the trouble to rush to Qingqiao to see the situation on site, intending to feel the joy firsthand.

As a result, I naturally met the villagers of Qinghe again.

The people in Qinghe Village were in high spirits, while the villagers in Qinghe Village were in grief, forming a sharp contrast between the two groups.

The villagers of Qinghe twitched their chins and whispered to each other: "I don't know what they are laughing about. Their jobs are about to be lost, and they are still laughing."

"They hate to see us doing well. It must be because our factory has shut down, and now they are gloating over our misfortune."

"Why are we gloating? Aren't they also stopped working like us?"

"But with us taking the blame, wouldn't they be happy if they saw our business fail?"

"What do you know? Qinghezhuang has always been producing according to the standards, which is different from us. Once this critical moment is over, there's no telling when they'll resume production."

Before today, they had hoped that Zhao Yan's sewage treatment plant could save the waste business.

Later, Zhao Yan decided not to build the sewage treatment plant. The garbage decomposer he mentioned sounded unreliable, and coupled with the announcement from the environmental protection group, it basically announced the death of the waste business.

They have lost all hope in the scrap business, so they all look so sad.

But if the people in Qinghe Village can continue to do the scrap business, it means they can do it too.

The dying hearts of the Qing villagers began to come alive again.

"You mean they can continue to do the scrap business in the future?"

"Look at them, they don't seem panicked at all. They must have gotten some inside information."

"How about we go and ask?"

Several Qinghe villagers encouraged each other and went to find the people of Qinghe Village to inquire.

“Have the people in your village heard any news, such as when the scrap business can be resumed?”

After hearing what they said, the people of Qinghe Village replied, "I don't know if we can continue the scrap business, but compared to business, I hope to restore the ecology of Qinghe."

Qinghe villagers: "Aren't you worried at all about losing your source of income? How are you going to make a living in the future?"

The people from Qinghe Village glanced at them and said, "There are hundreds of trades, and every trade can make a living. It's not just the scrap business that can make money. Do you think everyone is like you, doing whatever it takes to make money?"

Upon hearing this, the Qinghe villagers were unhappy: "Just talk, why are you being sarcastic?"

People from Qinghe Village: "Satire? Why do you do that? Don't you have any sense? You know better than anyone who polluted the water of Qinghe."

Qinghe villagers: "You speak as if you have never polluted the river. Your wastewater is still being discharged into the Qinghe River."

They compared their own untreated sewage with the treated wastewater that met the standards in Qinghezhuang, which was really laughable.

People from Qinghe Village said: "Don't shirk your responsibilities and try to drag us down. Right and wrong are in the hearts of the people."

When it comes to ecological and environmental issues, the villagers of Qinghe are not in the upper hand and have brought trouble upon themselves.

It was around this time that people from the Qinghe Environmental Protection Group arrived.

Not many people came, not even as many as those who posted notices and seals yesterday.

Two cars came and went, and a total of five people got out.

There were four people that the villagers knew, two of whom were members of the Qinghe Environmental Protection Group, and two were reporters who had conducted undercover investigations in the local area. This time they did not bring hidden cameras, but brought microphones and professional cameras in broad daylight.

There was also a young girl traveling with them, but they didn't recognize that girl.

The people in Qinghe Village were confused about the situation and why so few people came.

According to their understanding, today is the first day of restoring the Qinghe River's ecology. For such an important day, there should be a small ceremony and a banner should be hung.

They came in so many people just to watch the ceremony and express their support for restoring Qinghe's ecological environment.

The environmental protection team was also shocked when they saw the huge crowds of villagers.

"Why are there so many of you?"

After hearing the villagers' explanation, the environmental protection team said, "There's no ceremony. We're here today to directly address the ecological issues in Qinghe River. Everyone should just disperse. We'll celebrate again when the ecology is restored."

They were not in the mood for a grand ceremony. Now the whole group had only one thing on their mind: to improve the ecology of Qinghe River as soon as possible.

After saying that, the environmental protection team didn't waste any time and started working immediately.

They carried out a heavy machine from the back of the pickup truck, which looked a bit like a water pump.

Then, following Dai Li's instructions, he walked to the bridge piles of Qing Bridge and put the machine into the water.

The villagers' eyes followed their movements, and driven by curiosity, they began to develop their thinking.

"Why would they put a water pump down there out of nowhere? Are they trying to pump water out of the river?"

"Are you planning to pump out the sewage and replace it with clean water?"

"If we don't close the sluice gate above, how can we pump out all the water?"

“Is releasing the water pump related to ecological restoration?”

Those who were nearby asked the environmental protection team what they were doing.

The people in the environmental protection group couldn't clearly explain the purpose of the things they placed. Teacher Dai said that this machine was used to control water resources, but no one in their group was sure.

In their perception, traditional river management is definitely not like this.

We should solve the problem from the root, enhance people's environmental awareness, reduce water consumption, control pollution sources, etc.

Humans are helpless in leaving the rest of the work to nature and waiting for it to cleanse itself.

As a result, Teacher Dai said that nature’s self-purification ability was too slow, and she wanted to help nature purify itself.

They had no idea about the effects of the water purifier and couldn't explain it clearly, so they could only look at Dai Li and wait for her to explain.

Dai Li said to the villagers: "This is not a water pump, this is called a sewage treatment machine."

The villagers nodded as if they understood, and then questions followed one after another.

"What can your sewage treatment machine do?"

Dai Li: "Treat, filter, absorb and decompose toxic and harmful substances in water to restore the water's clarity."

The villagers pondered, "It seems to have the same function as my water purifier. That's what the salesperson said when I bought it."

Dai Li: "You can also understand it this way. It's a super-powerful water purifier."

"How much toxic and harmful substances can such a small machine absorb?"

Dai Li: "Don't underestimate the machine's small size. It can handle any amount of impurities. It won't be long before you can see the results with your own eyes."

As she spoke, she took out her walkie-talkie and asked, "Have you reached the designated location?"

After a delay of four or five seconds, the people on the other end of the intercom responded one after another.

"Here we are. The sewage treatment machine has been successfully deployed at the designated location."

The people on the other end of the intercom were Wu Xuelin, Guan Honghou and others. Several of them divided into several groups and placed sewage treatment machines at designated locations.

The polluted area of ​​Qinghe River is too long, and it is definitely not enough to rely on only one sewage treatment machine. One must be placed at a certain distance, and all the machines must work at the same time.

Dai Li: "Everything has been successfully deployed, then I will start the machine."

The same response came from the other end of the intercom, and the message was successfully delivered.

Dai Li used the smart watch on her wrist to start the machine.

In an instant, there was movement in the slowly flowing river water, and small bubbles began to spray out from around the sewage treatment plant.

After doing this, Dai Li's work was done: "We can go back."

Is this the end? That simple?

The people in the environmental protection team were stunned for a moment before replying with an "Oh".

The villagers came to their senses and suddenly found something wrong.

"How come the machine starts working without being plugged in?"

Dai Li: "The machine has electricity inside, so there is no need for an external power supply."

Most villagers don’t know about the energy harvester yet and think it contains batteries.

"How long will the battery inside last?"

Dai Li: "You can record the time and see how long it will take. By the way, the river water should change after a while. You can come and observe and compare at any time."

Perhaps Dai Li's words aroused the villagers' curiosity, and since they had nothing to do, most of them had no intention of leaving the scene.

The reporters who came with them also stayed at the Qingqiao scene. They had to continue shooting video footage and also for the live broadcast.

Too many people on the Internet are paying attention to the ecological problems of Qinghe River. Today is the first day of Qinghe River ecological governance. At the call of netizens, the program team started a live broadcast on the Internet platform, and millions of people witnessed the sewage treatment machine entering the water.

[Old Socks Band]: It’s that simple, just put it in? I thought it would take hours to debug?

[小_明星]: Considering the name of DL company, it is normal for the equipment to be simple. It is abnormal to take several hours to debug.

[对酒当Ge]: DL Company really has the bearing of a responsible large enterprise. The pollution of Qinghe River has nothing to do with them, yet they have been wrongly accused. People all over the Internet are scolding them, saying that they are guilty and dare not speak out. However, they are secretly preparing to manage the ecology of Qinghe River.

[Banana]: It is not something that most companies can do to take responsibility for things that are not their responsibility. Other companies would definitely distance themselves from the matter immediately.

[Green Carp and Donkey]: You have to have real strength to take on this task. I also want to say that the voice of this person in charge sounds so familiar. I seem to have heard it many times. Does anyone have any impression of him?

[The Soul of the Polygonum multiflorum]: I've heard it a long time ago. This teacher Dai has appeared off-screen for the first time. She should be a very high-level scientific research expert in their company. Damn, I really want to know what such a powerful woman looks like.

[Forever Love] replies to [Soul of Houttuynia Cordata]: +1.

[Shining Appearance]: I advise you not to have too much hope. People who do scientific research don’t like to take care of themselves, so they are just ordinary in the crowd.

[咕咕罩] replied to [光光现现]: Don’t generalize. Great girls are born with radiance, and you guys have no right to point fingers at them.

[狗头保命]: I am not curious about her appearance. She said that the river water will change after a while, so I want to know how much it will change.

The netizens in the live broadcast room, like the villagers on the scene, stared at the place where bubbles were coming out of the machine in the river.

Staring at the river all the time is undoubtedly boring, especially when you don’t see much change in the water for a while.

At the beginning, netizens were chatting lively in the live broadcast room, but gradually, fewer and fewer people came to the room, and even the barrage of comments stopped jumping.

The villagers at the scene were also like this. Some were waiting to see the changes in the river water, while others wanted to see how long the battery of the sewage treatment plant could last.

As a result, the river water remained unchanged, and the sewage treatment machine showed no sign of stopping, and bubbles continued to come out.

Finally, the villagers got bored of waiting and dispersed in pairs. By dinner time, there was no one left by the river.

The program team's live broadcast room was also closed, but before it was closed, many netizens would occasionally come in to take a look.

But it’s the same every time I enter the live broadcast room, and I don’t see any major changes.

[Meizai]: Let’s go, I won’t come in to check today. I shouldn’t have had too much hope and thought that I would see obvious changes. Did I overestimate the water quality of Qinghe River, or did I expect too much from DL Company?

[Langmie's Claw]: That is to say, don't have too high expectations. After all, DL's capabilities are limited, and the river water is too polluted. I occasionally think it's super powerful to see the machine running in the water.

[Stop arguing, quit]: I compared the water quality at 13:00 and at 17:00 when the live broadcast ended. I have to say there is still a difference. Please take a close look at the /picture/picture.

The two pictures posted by the netizen show slight changes in water quality, which are not particularly obvious and difficult to see without careful observation.

[Good Luck]: Wow, the effect is so obvious, DL company’s sewage treatment plant is really awesome!

[Fa Cai Zhi Jian]: Are you serious? Are you sure there's a difference? Isn't it just the foam produced by the machine that looks a little whiter?

[冰**ing]: I'm sorry, I have poor eyesight and can't really see the difference between the two pictures.

[猪哄恒不要吃]: Stop the hype, forcing differences between identical images. I'm also a big DL product user, but even if I were blind, I couldn't just close my eyes and say it was right. Be reasonable about DL's sewage treatment system. It's not that their sewage treatment system is useless, but the effects are definitely not that fast. If you're a true DL fan, just be patient and wait and see. Your hype is embarrassing, and it's really damaging to their reputation.

The Qinghe villagers went back that day and never came out again.

After dinner, the people from Qinghe Village came to the Qinghe River to look at it several times.

They really want to see changes in the Qinghe River water.

Even if it becomes a little bit clearer, they will be satisfied.

They observed very carefully and took water samples to compare with the river water samples they had taken earlier.

It’s a pity that it was too late and they were not professional, so they couldn’t see any changes with the naked eye.

Every time they came, they were disappointed, and the people in Qinghe Village gradually became depressed.

The villager sighed, kicked the stones by the river and chatted with his friends.

"When do you think the water quality will improve?"

"I told you you're too impatient. You've dragged me over several times this afternoon. Work in Qinghe Village up there has only been a one-day halt. How can the water quality improve so quickly?"

"I mean, they put the sewage treatment plant in the water today. Didn't they say it would be effective soon? Why can't I see any effect at all?"

"You mean that machine?" My friend thought for a moment and came up with a more explanatory answer. "Even if there is an effect, it's probably so minimal that it's invisible to the naked eye. You need a microscope to see it."

The Qinghezhuang villager continued to kick the stones without saying a word, feeling extremely disappointed.

My friend urged me, "It's still the same no matter how many times you look at it. Let's go back. I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the big market to buy things."

He looked at Qinghe unwillingly again, then turned around and left reluctantly.

The next day, just after dawn, the friend rode his motorcycle to the big market to buy things.

When he passed Qing Bridge, he drove straight ahead without looking around.

When he was about to get off the bridge, he suddenly stepped on the brakes with both hands and turned to look at the river under the bridge.

When he saw this, he was completely shocked. He got off the motorcycle directly, not even caring that the motorcycle had fallen over, and rushed straight to the river.

He stared blankly at the river for a long time before he remembered to call his friend.

His hands were shaking with excitement. He fumbled for his cell phone several times before he finally took it out and called his friend.

On the phone, his voice couldn't stop shaking.

"Come and see the Qing River. The water has become clear."
