Chapter 222 Hold a Press Conference

"Professor Nomura, it's great that you are willing to come over!"

In a conference room in Dongjing, the cabinet minister at the time, Asada Jiro, greeted Nomura Yu in person, not caring about his identity at all.

After arriving in front of Nomura Yu, he extended his hands and greeted warmly.

Faced with such a scene, Nomura Yu was also very moved. He didn't expect Asada Jiro to take him so seriously.

Even Iwano Kazuma couldn't do it to this extent.

"Commander Asada is serious. Since the people need me, I will be there immediately no matter what kind of trouble arises." Yuu Nomura was very emotional, and quickly promised such a sentence categorically.

For a while, his own image instantly became much taller.

"Quick, please sit down first." Asada Jiro called Nomura Yu to sit down on the chair next to him, and then his expression suddenly became serious: "Professor Nomura, to be honest, our situation is very serious right now, and we need to work out a solution as soon as possible, otherwise we will You will become a nation’s sinner.”

Yuu Nomura's heart moved when he heard the sound: "Mr. Asada, you said on the phone just now that the matter was related to nuclear wastewater. What's going on?"

"Don't worry, since I decided to let you come to help, I will naturally tell you all the blocked news."

Asada Jiro first signaled Nomura Yu not to worry, and then asked a strange question: "Professor Nomura, I think you should know something about the news that Chief Iwano died of illness a while ago?"

"Chief Iwano died suddenly while working. Although I was still obsessed with research at that time, I also heard about it from my assistant." Yuu Nomura nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked: "Is there any other secret in this matter?"

"You guessed right."

Asada Jiro affirmed Nomura Yu's conjecture, with an inexplicable look in his eyes: "Actually, the real cause of death of Chief Iwano was cancer, and it was too late to receive treatment when the incident happened."

cancer?

Hearing these two unfamiliar words, Nomura Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to think of something, a strange color flashed across his face, and he dared not answer: "Could it be because of the incompletely processed nuclear medicine?" waste water?"

"It's true. It's just because this incident can easily arouse people's association and panic. After deliberation, the cabinet decided to publicize it as a sudden death." Asada Jiro said with a full face of regret.

Seeing that his guess was completely correct, Nomura Yu couldn't feel any joy in his heart, but felt even more puzzled.

Asada Jiro clearly said on the phone that the situation in Dongjing was very serious because of the nuclear wastewater problem, but if it was just Iwano Kazuma's matter, no matter how you look at it, it feels like a big deal.

Since there was something he couldn't figure out, Nomura Yu would not bury it in his heart, and Dang even asked directly: "Mr. Asada, does the important thing you mentioned have something to do with the cause of Mr. Iwano's death?"

Nomura Yu's words reached his ears, and Asada Jiro didn't intend to hide anything.

Then tell the truth.

"The number of cancer patients admitted to Dongjing Cancer Institute Youming Hospital is increasing at an extremely fast rate recently, and these patients all have a common characteristic. They all like to eat seafood very much and live in seaside residential areas. After the analysis of the expert group According to research, the increase in the cancer outbreak rate is probably due to the mutation of certain seafood caused by nuclear wastewater entering the sea.”

"what?"

After hearing these words, Nomura Yu's whole spirit was shaken. He never expected that the matter was far more serious than he imagined.

Cancer has always been recognized as a medical problem in the world. Not to mention that it is extremely difficult to cure, patients also need to bear a lot of pain. It is not an exaggeration to say that cancer has been declared a half-death sentence.

When nuclear wastewater was discharged into the ocean, Nomura Yu had concerns about this, but he never expected it to happen so soon.

We must know that once it is determined that these cancer patients are suffering from cancer because of eating polluted and mutated seafood, then it can be expected that this number will continue to rise in the future.

After all, the island country, as a country surrounded by the sea, lived by the sea a long time ago, and even the overlord whales in the ocean were not spared.

This alone is enough to imagine how many people eat seafood.

Even if the probability of people suffering from cancer is only a small proportion, it will inevitably cause panic in the outside world.

Thinking of this, Nomura Yu could no longer hold back the anxiety in his heart, and quickly said: "Mr. Asada, this is a major issue concerning the entire human race. I want to know how the higher-ups plan to handle it?"

"After holding a meeting, we decided to hold a press conference tomorrow to announce the real situation of Dongjing Cancer Institute Youming Hospital."

Facing Nomura Yu's inquiry, Asada Jiro hardly hesitated, and directly stated this decision.

Although this decision sounds like Dongjing has taken a lot of pressure and is willing to fulfill its responsibilities, in fact Asada Jiro has no choice but to.

The continuous increase in the number of cancer patients has already overloaded Dongjing's hospitals. As of today, it is unknown how many newly detected patients have to be forced to go to hospitals in other cities for treatment.

You must know that Dongjing Cancer Institute Youming Hospital is the most professional in the treatment of cancer.

In such a situation where it is possible to lose control at any time, it is simply unrealistic to keep the news blocked.

Rather than let the situation develop in a bad direction in the end, it is better to make it public now, and maybe you can apply for international assistance at that time.

In addition, Iwano Kazuma concealed the discharge of nuclear wastewater into the sea so much at the beginning, but it was not exposed in the end, which caused the island to be completely passive.

In order to eliminate the pressure brought by the international community, Iwano Kazuma could only drink the incompletely treated nuclear wastewater in person, and also planted a seed for his own death.

To sum it up, I can only describe it in four words...

Not worth the candle.

As the successor of Iwano Kazuma, Asada Jiro can be said to have profoundly summed up the lessons of his predecessor to ensure that he will not repeat the same mistakes and end up in the same end.

As for this decision, it was naturally what Nomura Yu wanted to hear.

Almost without any hesitation, he opened his mouth and said: "Sir Asada, the decision made by the above is very correct, but in addition to making this matter public as soon as possible, we must also implement the measures as soon as possible."

measure?

Asada Jiro was quite interested when he heard the voice: "Let's talk about it first."

"We should immediately order a nationwide ban on seafood fishing, stop all whaling ships from going out to sea, and call on the public not to eat seafood products. We will speak after detailed testing of seawater and seafood products. Otherwise, the number of patients may continue to increase."

"The items you mentioned are very useful, and I will hold a meeting to discuss them later."

After listening to Nomura Yu's answer, Asada Jiro only felt that his heart gradually became clearer, and he became more confident in handling this matter.

It shows that he didn't find the wrong person this time.

Then he assigned a task to Nomura Yu: "Professor Nomura, I will give you full authority to take charge of the detection and research of seawater and marine organisms. In any case, we must find a solution as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Mr. Asada, this is my duty."

Being reassigned to such an important task, Yu Nomura only felt that he was full of passion and couldn't wait to go to the sea area immediately.

But just as he was about to get up and leave, Asada Jiro's voice sounded next to his ears: "Professor Nomura, is there no way to solve the problem of nuclear wastewater in the ocean?"

"As far as I know, even the supermicrobial colony developed by Xingyuan Technology in the world today can't deal with the nuclear pollution in the ocean. If we want to solve it, I'm afraid we can only wait for it to degrade naturally, but this time may last for decades. "Nomura Yu shook his head.

As soon as the voice fell, he turned and left the office.

To be honest, although Nomura Yu has a good impression of Asada Jiro now, other cabinet ministers still remain estranged.

After all, if Iwano Kazuma and the others were not willing to pay for the purchase of the bacterial solution and secretly discharged the nuclear wastewater into the sea, this mess would not have happened now.

Especially now that there is uncertainty about the extent of the eventual impact.

If it really affects other neighboring countries, it is enough to imagine the pressure that the island countries will face by then.

At the same time when Nomura Yu came out of the conference room, the assistant Qing Zi who had been waiting outside hurried up to greet her, and asked with concern: "Professor Nomura, how is the discussion going, is it going well?"

"Ugh!"

Hearing these words, Nomura Yu first sighed, and then ordered: "You go back and get ready first, and then go to sea with me."

Going to sea?

Qing Zi was taken aback when he heard the sound, and then happily said: "I know Professor Nomura, I will prepare right away."

Apparently she didn't know what was going on.

……

……

Saturday, November 2022, 11.

morning.

Jiro Asada attended the press conference and officially disclosed to the world all the information about Tokei Cancer Institute Yumei Hospital and the preliminary research results of the island country.

Once this news came out, there was an instant global uproar.

The people fell into panic.

Of course, the first to feel the influence of this matter must be those who are engaged in seafood-related industries.

In particular, the island nation also issued a national ban on seafood at the same time.

Since Asada Jiro did not announce the situation of Tokei Cancer Research Yumei Hospital, some people on the domestic Internet have already exposed relevant content, so this matter quickly spread in the country, causing heated discussions among netizens.

"The things that came out two days ago are indeed true. After all, human beings will have to pay for what he has done."

"Obviously something that was done by the island country, why should everyone pay the bill? The island country must have an account for all human beings."

"Eating contaminated seafood will greatly increase the chances of getting cancer. Who would bet on you? Anyway, I will never eat seafood again if I am killed. I still know which is more important than lust for tongue or life. "

"Is there no way to solve it?"

"There should be no problem with our own seafood, right? Anyway, there is still such a long distance between them?"

"Don't take chances."

"Poverty saved me again, thanks to poverty."

"After this incident, I am afraid that the global seafood industry will suffer a major setback. I don't know if eating seafood will cause cancer. Anyway, if you don't eat seafood, some people will definitely go bankrupt and jump off the building."

……

In today's Internet age, the speed of information dissemination is the fastest, and it doesn't take long at all to reach the point where everyone knows it.

Especially when it comes to life safety.

Almost on the second day after Jiro Asada finished his press conference, the seafood markets in coastal cities in China basically showed an empty scene, which can be said to have never been seen since the opening.

Let alone buying seafood, there are no customers at all.

Even if the prices of all kinds of seafood have dropped again and again.

Even if some young people are more bold and do not believe that domestic seafood products are also polluted and want to feast on the cheap, they will be stopped by their parents.

After all, when the Fushima nuclear power plant was leaked, there was a rush to buy salt in China, not to mention that this time it was a real thing. Even if you believed in the quality of domestic seafood, you couldn't pass the hurdle in your heart.

To this end, the above also used various channels such as the news media to call on everyone to buy seafood products to ensure the normal operation of the market.

However, the effect is not ideal.

at the same time.

In the Longhu Hi-Tech Park of Jingzhou City, Niu Geng looked indifferent after watching the press conference held by Asada Jiro.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Niu Geng doesn't care much about this matter. He has already obtained the information released by Asada Jiro from Xingling.

Originally, Niu Geng was still thinking about whether to follow the example of publishing the information he got last time. Unexpectedly, Asada Jiro was one step ahead of him and held a press conference in advance.

This surprised Niu Geng.

In Niu Geng's impression, the people in the cabinet should be similar to Iwano Kazuma. Since even the cause of Iwano Kazuma's death has been concealed, he probably didn't intend to make it public, but this time he suddenly did the opposite. In short, it is indeed unexpected.

But now there is a new problem in front of Niu Geng.

That is, does Xingyuan Technology need to take action?

You must know that the Xingyuan Sewage Treatment Plant under Xingyuan Technology has developed a bacterial solution that can treat nuclear wastewater before, and it is only because Iwano Kazuma refuses to buy it that the current troubles have arisen.

Regardless of whether Xingyuan Technology can change the situation, there should still be an attitude.

Besides, Niu Geng doesn't want to see domestic industries being affected by this incident.

And just as Niu Geng was thinking about this matter secretly, Xing Ling's voice suddenly came from beside his ears: "Master, do we need to contact the higher authorities to obtain detailed data on ocean water quality?"

Whether domestic seafood products have been polluted by nuclear wastewater will be clear through detailed testing of the water quality. If Xingyuan Technology has this data, it can also make corresponding arrangements in the future to ensure that the company will not be affected by this incident. Influence.

Niu Geng naturally understood the meaning of Xing Ling's words, but he didn't directly agree, instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he murmured thoughtfully: "Wait a little longer, if my prediction is right, it should happen soon. Someone contacted us."
