No wonder the water quality of the Dragon Creek Beach was getting worse and worse. It turned out that there was a factory secretly releasing polluted water into the sea.
This kind of dark green sewage looked very much like the waste water from the chemical industry.
And from the serious rust and the thick layer of material on the pipe, this sewage pipe was at least a few years old.
Releasing sewage was a technical job.
The low-end ones would directly bury a pipe into a river or lake. Then, it would not take long for the entire river to be dyed into a colorful pond or make it smelly.
This kind of thing could easily be fined by the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau. Most of the bosses who dared to do this were troublemakers. After getting a fine, they would remove the pipe and not long after, they would find another place to release the sewage.
The more advanced ones would drill a well into the deep underground water and directly use a high pressure pump to release the sewage into the deep underground.
The possibility of this method being discovered was very small. Modern people all used tap water. Even if they were bored, they would only dig a shallow well.
But the disadvantage of this method was very obvious. The space in the deep underground water was limited. It was only suitable for small scale enterprises to release sewage. For example, the pipe next to the Lord's Chariot would probably be able to fill up the underground water around the factory in half a month.
Releasing sewage into the deep sea was undoubtedly the most secretive method. The sea rose and fell every day. There were also all kinds of ocean currents.
When the sewage came out of the pipe, it would quickly be diluted. In addition, the color of the sewage was very dark. It was very similar to the background of the sea, so it was very difficult to detect.
Similarly, the cost of building such a deep sea sewage pipe would be very high. Normal enterprises would not be able to afford it.
But as long as they spent a lot of money to build it, they would be able to save a lot of sewage treatment costs.
Ye Qing was the only one who developed at the Dragon Creek Beach. The huge beach was polluted by sewage. Now that he accidentally found the pollution outlet, he definitely had to do something.
Ye Qing's first idea was to weld the outlet. This way, the factory that secretly released sewage would be temporarily caught unaware. They would have to reopen the outlet to work.
Underwater operations were always a problem. Not to mention other things, the factory would have to spend a lot of effort to find the outlet again.
Similarly, using welding techniques to block the outlet would make the factory owner suspicious. After all, there were only two companies in Zhongyun that had mastered the underwater welding technique.
Therefore, Ye Qing directly put the M.P.C.V. back into the Monster Factory. Then, he let the peons find a broken piece of wood from the warehouse and cut it into a large bullet head cork.
Ye Qing used a small knife to carve a logo that consisted of a whale and a circle of English letters on the wood.
— — Sea Shepherd Association logo!
This was an international organization with extremely strong combat power. They often appeared in the news, and they were the ones who used water cannons and stinky eggs to bombard the whaling ships …
Ye Qing did not have a good or bad impression of this group of energetic foreigners. He did not feel any pressure to let them take the blame!
More than ten minutes later, the Lord's Battleship used its mechanical arm to hold the cork and followed the underwater tunnel back to the sewage pipe.
The drainage speed of this sewage pipe was not fast. The mechanical arm of the M.P.C.V. could easily lift a few hundred kilograms of heavy objects. Smashing a cork into the sewage pipe was a piece of cake.
Moreover, wood would swell when soaked in water, so it was not suitable to be used to block pipes.
At this moment, at the end of the pipeline laid straight on the seabed.
It was located at the west side of the Huanhai Avenue, more than ten miles away from the Dragon Creek Beach. It was a large chemical factory that specialized in producing all kinds of plastic materials.
A highly automated pump system with a large pressurizing tower was operating at full power, pumping the sewage from the industrial waste pool into the pipeline on the seabed.
This set of pressurizing equipment was called [No Negative Pressure Pipe Network Pressurizing System]. Usually, only water factories would install this kind of equipment to transport water over long distances.
The pressurizing was happily going on. Suddenly, the control box "Beep Beep Beep ~" issued an ear-piercing alarm, and the motor immediately stopped working.
A worker on duty who was leisurely watching TV was shocked and quickly ran over to check the cause.
The pressure supply was interrupted, which meant that the pipeline could not discharge. The worker on duty quickly increased the pressure setting, hoping to use more pressure to break through the debris blocking the pipeline.
After setting up, the pressurizing system continued to operate. However, a few minutes later, the pressurizing system stopped again.
The sewage could not be discharged, and the operation of the entire equipment in the workshop would be affected. The worker on duty yelled and used the internal line to call the boss's office.
More than ten minutes later, a man with a big belly and a gold watch barged in.
"The … the water pipe is blocked by something." The worker on duty carefully explained.
"Hurry up and pressurize it. If the water pipe is blocked, the waste pool will be full in less than half an hour." The boss was so angry that he stomped his feet. "Do you want me to stop the entire production line?"
"It's no use boss. I've already set the pressure to the maximum limit."
"Keep it on. You can't even watch the machine properly." The factory boss was furious. "Keep the pressure at the maximum. I don't believe that the pipeline can't be opened."
The worker in charge of watching the equipment quickly nodded and ran to the control panel. He adjusted the parameters and made the pressurizing system bypass the automatic power cut device.
Half a minute later, the pressurizing system continued to operate.
Now that there was no restriction, the high-pressure air happily kept drilling into the pressurizing tower.
As the number on the pressure gauge jumped, the factory boss's face became more and more pale.
Usually, a pipeline blockage would occur when the sewage was stopped. The ocean currents easily carried a lot of algae and debris, so it was not unusual for them to occasionally block the pipeline. But usually, these debris could be easily washed out by the sewage without even increasing the pressure.
Now, a blockage occurred when the sewage was being discharged.
The blockage was very serious, and the pressure could not be rushed.
"Bang ~"
A loud sound interrupted his thoughts. The spring safety valve on the pipeline suddenly popped up, and the sewage surged out like a fire hydrant.
The worker on duty and the factory boss screamed. Before they could run, they were washed to the ground by the surging sewage.
The sewage was dark green, and the stench was overwhelming. Not to mention being drenched like a drowned rat, just smelling it was enough to make people faint. Now, the two of them were directly soaked in it.
"Help … Ugh …" The factory boss did not even have time to shout for help before he vomited violently from the sewage.
…
At this moment, Ye Qing was putting away his tools and standing on Huanhai Avenue, waiting for Gangjie Chemical's boss, Gong Wei, to come pick him up.
Yesterday, he insisted on treating Ye Qing to a meal as thanks. After the meal, he even wanted to take Ye Qing to the most expensive place in Zhongyun to have fun.
Okay …
Ye Qing admitted that he was tempted. The most expensive place in Zhongyun was the Silver Palace Entertainment Club.
There were rumors online that this club was based on a membership system, and normal people did not have the qualifications to enter.
A rose red Bentley Mulsanne stopped in front of Ye Qing. The back window rolled down, revealing Gong Wei's proud face.
