This morning's phone call woke up the villagers of Qinghe Village one after another.
The villager who received the call hurried and was the first to arrive at the Sanqing River.
Because his friend was in such a hurry, he was half-drowsy and had just thrown on some clothes without even zipping them up.
I rushed to Sanqing Bridge and found my friend still at the bridge.
"Aren't you going to the market to buy some? Why haven't you left yet? If you're any later there won't be any fresh goods. These are just leftovers from other people."
His friend waved to him anxiously: "What are you buying now? Come over and take a look."
"The water quality has changed so much! Look how excited you are." He zipped up his jacket and walked over calmly.
After a night, he had calmed down a lot and was no longer as impatient as yesterday.
Now it was his friend who lost his composure. He couldn't wait any longer and ran over to pull him back: "Come and see, and you'll see."
The villager was pushed to the edge of the bridge. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned, and then looked at the river.
The riverside was shimmering in the early morning, and bubbles were still coming out of the underwater sewage treatment machine, but the river water had changed drastically from yesterday.
The originally turbid river water became crystal clear with a turquoise color. Even standing on the bridge, he could see the water plants floating underwater.
He couldn't quite believe what he saw, and like his friend, he stared blankly at the river for quite a while.
My friend said, "Isn't it true? I was also stunned when I saw it for the first time."
"Is this really the water from Sanqing River?" asked the villagers.
As far as he could remember, he had never seen water so clear anywhere except in the 5A scenic area.
His eyes were fixed on the river, and his feet instinctively walked along the river bank to the riverside. He bent down, put his hand into the water, and scooped up a handful of water with his palm.
You could clearly see the water plants in the river, not to mention the lines on his hands.
When we arrived at the river, we could see the mud, sand and stones at the bottom of the water more clearly, and they were within reach in the water.
Everything he saw before him kept telling the villagers that what he saw was real.
The good news that the water of Sanqing River had become clear soon spread throughout Qinghe Village, and the villagers who learned the news rushed to the river one after another.
The closure of the scrap factory in Sanqinghe Village ahead had already made them happy enough, but when they saw the river water become clear, their joy doubled.
It was so rare for the river water to become clear that they only dared to touch it with their hands and did not dare to reach into other places.
Those who had once fantasized about swimming in the Sanqing River when the water quality improved have now all given up the idea.
Such clear river water can only be viewed from a distance. They are reluctant to destroy it at all, for fear that the filth on their bodies will pollute the river water.
Reporters from the social news section were the second group to arrive.
This is their job. They are also following up on the reports of Sanqing River and need to come to Sanqing River every day to shoot materials.
Before their car arrived, they saw a group of villagers gathered by the bridge from afar.
At this point they didn't take it too seriously, because there were more people watching yesterday than today.
Villagers love to watch the fun, and any trivial news in the village can attract people from the whole village.
In addition, there is the issue that everyone in Sanqing River is concerned about. Now that their factories have stopped, everyone is at home with nothing to do, so they just spend every day wandering around Sanqing River.
As soon as the two reporters got out of the car with their filming equipment, they heard the villagers enthusiastically calling them over and asking them to come quickly to take pictures of the river.
The reporters looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.
These villagers are really too anxious.
They greeted the villagers from a distance: "Why are you here so early, fellow villagers? Have you had breakfast?"
No one responded to them, but just kept urging them to hurry up.
The two reporters frowned, not understanding why the villagers were so impatient.
Only one day has passed, and there couldn't be any obvious changes in the river water. Didn't everyone wait for a long time yesterday? The villagers must have seen something in the river and were eager to share it with them.
Thinking that they might be able to shoot some usable material, they didn't dare to delay and this time they quickened their pace a little.
As a result, they didn't expect that this time it would be such a great material.
Everyone who sees Sanqing River for the first time will be stunned, and the two reporters are no exception.
After a long time, they came to their senses and remembered their work tasks, and quickly turned on the equipment to start filming.
While filming the footage, the two reporters regretted it so much that their intestines turned green.
If they had known that the water in Sanqing River could become clear overnight, they would definitely not have returned to the hotel. They would have set up a camera by the river and stayed there all night to record the entire process of the water changes in Sanqing River.
As journalists, they wish they had a time machine so they could travel back to last night.
But once you miss it, you miss it. It’s too late to regret the past. The most important thing now is to grasp the popularity of the news and send it out as quickly as possible.
They didn't dare to delay for a moment. After shooting the materials, they sent the materials shot on site back to the station as quickly as possible.
The station has a dedicated news column, and its efficiency in handling current affairs news is unquestionable. The news materials are cut out as soon as possible and broadcast during the morning news period.
At this time, netizens who were supposed to go to work had already gone to work, and those who were resting at home were almost awake.
People at work are working hard, while people at home are enjoying breakfast or lying in bed surfing the Internet on their phones.
They all received a push notification out of the blue.
#Sanqing River water is crystal clear overnight#
Those who were at work immediately stopped what they were doing, those who were eating breakfast put down their food, and those who were lying in bed playing with their mobile phones instantly became alert.
No matter where they were or what they were doing at the moment, they all subconsciously clicked on this push notification at the same time.
The linked page is the morning news, which comes with a news video from the Sanqing River scene.
This news video was like a stone dropped into the water, instantly creating ripples on the Internet.
Is this really the same river? There is no similarity at all.
[吃糖小号]: No way, I watched the live broadcast yesterday, Sanqing River is not like this, the difference between one night and another is too big.
[Peanuts and Edamame]: I don’t believe it. I won’t believe it even if you kill me. This must be fake news.
[Little Baby Huahua]: Stop trying to trick me with videos of tourist attractions. How can water quality be so good if it’s not a tourist attraction?
[Linglingxingxing]: I can tell you very clearly that it is the same river before and after. Although the water in the river has changed, the bridge is still the same as yesterday.
[Mu Da Mu Da]: I saw the bridge. Damn, it’s really the same river. So what happened last night?
[kurr]: This is river water, so there must be mud and sand. I thought it could at most be restored to the cleanliness of ordinary river water. Can anyone tell me why the water quality has become so good?
[Bee]: The water is so clean that it looks like a CG scene. It’s too clear to be real. Is it true that the news video has no color adjustment at all?
[Beans in the Quilt]: This is a news video. Who can grade the color of a news video?
[yhhh]: But I also feel that the picture has a bit of CG feel.
Netizens didn’t debate for long about whether the video had been processed with CG.
Because the TV station has opened a live broadcast room on the online platform, it allows everyone to experience Sanqing River up close.
In the live broadcast, netizens directly saw the real situation of Sanqing River. There was no CG post-production of Sanqing River.
The slowly flowing clear river water is exactly the same as what is shown on the news.
Now netizens have no choice but to believe it.
The discussion of Sanqing River has suddenly increased and has become the hottest term at the moment.
During this period, almost no netizen did not know about Sanqing River, and even fewer people had not seen the before-and-after comparison video of Sanqing River.
Sanqing River once became a popular tourist attraction. Many netizens from nearby areas rushed to check in, and netizens from far away even flew there specially just to see the current splendor of Sanqing River.
However, the Sanqing River did not disappoint them. Everyone who came to the local area was overwhelmed by the clear water of the Sanqing River.
Sanqing River has become a popular tourist attraction.
It is also a river with free admission and the same water quality as a 5A scenic spot.
Everyone who has been here says it's worth the trip.
They almost all do the same thing, taking a picture of the sewage treatment machine. The sewage treatment machine is a great contributor to the restoration of the water quality of Sanqing River, and no one can forget its contribution.
[喵尾巴花]: I am really impressed by what a magical sewage treatment machine is.
[Diudiu]: DL's technological products are always refreshing my cognition and making me feel like a country idiot.
[Panda Breaking Sticks]: Every time I question the exaggerated performance of DL's products, reality gives me a loud slap in the face, telling me that I am short-sighted and should not jump to conclusions.
[东方不高]: We also have a river here that was polluted by industry. The factory moved away over a decade ago, and the river hasn't recovered yet. I'm an elementary school student. Can you send me a sewage treatment machine? /狗头
[Magical Xiao Bei]: There is also a polluted river in my hometown. In the past, people in the town discharged their domestic water directly into the river, and toilet water also went directly into the river, making the river smell bad. I still have a psychological trauma when I see that river now.
[咔咔]: Shit, are we all from the same place? It's the same here at my home. Years ago, everyone poured their drinking water into the river and used the river as a trash can, throwing garbage out of the windows. The river was covered with plastic bags.
As netizens' discussions deepened, they discovered that ecological problems seemed to exist in many places.
It is normal to have ecological problems. Many years ago, people's living standards and quality were not high, let alone environmental awareness.
It is definitely more convenient to throw the garbage into the river than to take it downstairs and throw it into the trash can.
In addition, local management is not strict, and bad habits are most likely to develop when there is no supervision.
By the time the locals became aware of environmental protection and finally began to regulate littering and discharge, the river water could never return to its previous state.
After years of protection and management, there is no solid waste on the surface of most rivers and the water has become much cleaner, but the water quality is very ordinary and the transparency is relatively poor.
Before seeing the example of Sanqing River, netizens might still be satisfied with the current water quality in their hometown.
But they saw with their own eyes that the water quality of Sanqing River, which was not as good as theirs, turned into 5A grade water quality overnight.
Who wouldn’t be moved by seeing such changes?
Those who are ready to take action are shouting online, and those who are more proactive have already called the administrative departments in their hometowns.
Netizens spared no effort to introduce the sewage treatment machine to local administrative departments, hoping that they would consult and purchase it.
Their efforts were successful, and Xiao Min's team received a constant stream of calls.
In addition to work-related calls, we receive calls every day asking about sewage treatment machines. Almost all of them are from administrative departments, and some companies also come to consult.
This is a normal phenomenon in their company. Orders have already come in before the machines have even started production.
For clients like them, they don't just buy one or two units at a time, but place orders in batches.
Based on the amount of the order, this trip to Sanqinghe is worth it.
There is no more negative news about DL company on the Internet, and what comes with it is even more enthusiastic supporters.
Even the previous slanderous remarks that DL Company was involved in pollutant discharge and damaged the ecological environment together with the Sanqinghe villagers have disappeared.
Anyone with a common sense can figure out that since DL has invented a sewage treatment machine, how can it not treat the wastewater generated by their factory?
DL company completely cleared itself of suspicion, and then it was the netizens' turn to wail.
When DL Company was exposed for its disorderly storage, many people were furious and cancelled their registration for replenishment, calling on everyone to unite and boycott DL Company.
Later, they saw that the number of people registering for restocking had not decreased but was gradually increasing, and they also attacked those who did not cancel the restocking online.
Now that the truth is out, they seem like fools for jumping around and sentencing DL Company to death.
If the restocking order had not been cancelled earlier, they might have already received the goods.
There is no medicine for regret in the world. Now they can only re-register to replenish the stock and queue up again.
Seeing their friends and colleagues around them get the new products, they can only envy them.
The ecology of Sanqing River has been restored, which is a happy thing for everyone, including the people of Sanqinghe Village.
The people in their village only discovered the changes in the water level of Sanqing River later, and they only found out about it after seeing the news.
At that time, the whole village was very happy and ran to the river to play in the water.
After the excitement of ecological restoration passed, the people in Murakami began to become more active and started thinking about the waste business again.
"The water in the Sanqing River has been managed, but why is there no news at all? When can we resume work?"
"It shouldn't be that fast. We'll have to wait at least two or three months."
"Wouldn't it be that we have no income at all in the past two or three months?"
"Don't we have sewage treatment plants now? They can handle even such dirty water. Why would they worry about us discharging the little wastewater we produce? It will surely be cleaned up quickly if we discharge it in."
"That's right. Before there were sewage treatment plants, the river water became increasingly dirty. Now the river water isn't getting any dirtier. Why won't you let us start construction?"
In the eyes of some villagers, the sewage treatment machine can treat sewage, and the sewage they discharge will no longer pose a threat to the ecology, so why can't they continue to discharge it unscrupulously?
"Then go ask the people above. Now that we have a sewage treatment machine, when can the seal be removed for me?" said Li Ergou.
Li Ergou and several villagers who were restless found the person in charge of the ecological restoration of Sanqing River.
The person in charge did not give them any hope and told them directly that it was absolutely impossible to discharge sewage again.
Villager: "Aren't the machines you put in place able to treat sewage? Why don't you let us use them?"
The person in charge made a simple analogy: "People will heal themselves when they are injured, but would you be willing to get injured once a day?"
Li Ergou: "If you stop us from doing the scrap business, you're cutting off our livelihood. We have six people in our family who need to eat. You can't just destroy our jobs and then leave us alone."
As he spoke, Li Ergou showed signs of about to throw a tantrum.
The person in charge frowned and said, "We're not forbidding you from doing scrap business, but you must purchase qualified equipment that meets our emission standards. You can only resume operations after our inspections pass."
Li Ergou: "The qualification standard? The same as Qinghe Village?"
The person in charge said: "Qinghezhuang is not the standard. The standard is the regional document. We will also send people to Qinghezhuang to inspect. If it does not meet the standards, we will not be able to start the construction."
They held a meeting two days ago regarding the ecology of Sanqing River, and the key issues discussed at the meeting included the recycling business.
Waste recycling is a legitimate industry and it is impossible to ban it completely. The large amount of electronic waste generated every day also needs to be dealt with urgently.
It was made clear at the meeting that what they should ban is not waste recycling, but the indiscriminate dumping of waste.
Villagers who want to change their careers can do so, but if they want to continue to engage in waste recycling business, they must strictly abide by emission standards.
This is the bottom line of the administrative department and also the compensatory measure they have taken after careful reflection.
There's no room for compromise this time.
The person in charge had a clear attitude, and the villagers of Sanqinghe Village were unable to persuade him and left in embarrassment.
However, their trip was not completely without gain. At least they got positive news that the scrap business can continue, but they will have to spend money to purchase more equipment.
The factories in the homes of Sanqinghe villagers are basically non-compliant, and if they want to start operations, each one must be renovated.
During this period, the villagers of Sanqinghe consulted and compared prices everywhere in order to get low production costs.
But some costs cannot be saved just because you want to, and now the competent department of Sanqing River has higher emission standards, so you need to buy better equipment and facilities.
The people in Sanqinghe Village discussed it and decided to jointly build a sewage treatment plant and share the cost. Zhao Yan would not build it, and they would build it themselves.
At the same time, Zhao Yan also brought them a piece of news. Zhao Yan and his childhood friend had just imported a batch of goods from Dai Li’s factory, which were garbage decomposers.
Although Zhao Yan had many conflicts and arguments with the villagers, he would always think of his fellow villagers first when good things happened.
He called all the villagers out.
"The renewable resource decomposer I mentioned to you earlier has been produced. We will bring the machine over tomorrow, and you can start work the day after tomorrow."
When the villagers heard that work could start the day after tomorrow, they were ecstatic and urged Zhao Yan to pull the machine back as soon as possible.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the villagers and knowing that this was a matter of livelihood for everyone, Zhao Yan and his childhood friend did not dare to delay and rushed to the factory early the next morning to transport the machine.
When the brand new machine arrived, everyone in the village came to see the fun.
It was the first time they had seen the machines neatly arranged on a truck, and everyone reached out to touch them.
Just like that day, Zhao Yan actively introduced the usage and effects of the recycling resource decomposer to his childhood friend.
"Put the electronic components in through the entrance here, and the machine will automatically break down the precious metals within. Look at the classification on the machine. This one collects gold, this side collects rhodium, and the machine over there collects ruthenium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum..."
Zhao Yan and his childhood friend were very excited when they explained it. God knows how shocked they were when they saw the recycling decomposer for the first time. They also wanted to see the villagers' shocked expressions.
The villagers' purification and smelting technology is limited, and some rare precious metals cannot be extracted. With the renewable resource decomposer, their income can be greatly increased.
They thought the villagers would be as excited as they were, but what they wanted to know most was the price of the machine.
A machine that can automatically decompose, smelt and purify precious metals cannot be cheap.
When the villagers heard Zhao Yan mention the price, they all gasped. It was more expensive than the machine they were using now, and from what Zhao Yan said, it seemed that they needed to buy more than one.
Zhao Yan explained: "Different electronic components contain different precious metals and require different machines."
Li Ergou: "Zhao Laosan, you guys are really good. You come here specifically to rip us off. You charge tens of thousands for each unit, and you ask us to buy several at once. You make money much easier than us."
The villagers echoed and accused Zhao Yan of selling at high prices and making dirty money.
Zhao Yan: "Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't make any money from you. I paid for the shipping myself. The machine is expensive because it is really easy to use. You will know it after using it. It is absolutely easy and can also increase your profits."
None of the villagers bought it. They all had their own calculations and knew how to compare prices.
Zhao Yan bought several machines at a time, so it would be better to save money by jointly building a sewage treatment plant.
None of the machines Zhao Yan brought were sold.
My childhood friend asked, "What should we do? Should we take them back?"
They dare not keep such an expensive machine. If it gets scratched, they cannot afford the compensation.
Zhao Yan finished smoking a cigarette before making a decision.
"Take it to Qinghe Village and ask them if anyone wants to buy it."
The people of Sanqinghe Village dealt with Zhao Yan and turned around to set up a sewage treatment plant.
They don't need to build a new factory as there is already one in the village. The sewage treatment plant used to be owned by a boss from the same village. After the boss became rich, he closed the sewage treatment plant, but the factory site is still there.
Because they were from the same hometown, it was easy for them to contact the big boss. The big boss was also very straightforward and sent someone back to sublease the factory to them for a period of five years.
After the people of Sanqinghe Village got the factory, they immediately purchased equipment and contacted an inspection team to come for an inspection.
They spent a lot of money to buy sewage treatment equipment, but it never passed the inspection.
When the inspection team arrived, they either said that their equipment's exhaust emissions exceeded standards or that their sewage treatment did not meet standards.
They came four or five times but still failed to remove the seal for them, which made the villagers of Sanqinghe very anxious.
They have already spent money on purchasing equipment and signed a five-year contract for the factory. If the factory cannot start production in time, the money will be wasted.
But at this time, they heard some infuriating news.
Qinghezhuang has already passed the inspection of the inspection team and has resumed construction.
The villagers of Sanqinghe went to inquire without saying a word, wanting to know how they passed the inspection.
Now the local emission standards in Sanqinghe have more than doubled, and the original emission standards in Qinghezhuang would be impossible to meet now.
However, the news they heard shocked the whole village.
The waste treatment in Qinghezhuang does not produce any waste gas or wastewater, and there is no emission.
Because they snatched away all the recycling decomposers that Zhao Yan brought that day.
