The occurrence of the industrial revolution caused a sudden increase in the amount of coal burned in large cities.
Cities rely on coal for power generation, trains are powered by coal, factories rely on coal for production and manufacturing, and households also rely on coal for heating.
When coal is burned, water, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and other substances will be produced.
After these substances are discharged into the atmosphere, they will attach to the smoke and condense in the mist droplets.
When there is no wind, the smoke and dust mixed with fog turn yellow-black, and often hang over the city for days.
Mr. Lao She, who once lived in London, described this "black, yellow, purple, and even spicy and choking" London fog.
In Monet's pen, the fog in London is red.
The accumulated dust hampers traffic, stains clothes and blackens houses.
An architect once reported seeing sulfurous dirt up to four inches thick on a wall.
High concentrations of sulfur dioxide and smog particles can also endanger the health of residents.
After entering the human respiratory system, it can induce bronchitis, pneumonia, and heart disease.
The incidence of tuberculosis and cough among London residents is more than anywhere else in the world.
The whole city of London is like a suffocating gas chamber.
This situation has actually lasted for more than 100 years in the city of London, and it has never stopped since the first industrial revolution.
It's just that as time went by, the situation became more and more serious, and finally formed an environmental pollution incident that shocked the whole world!
It was the winter of [-].
The unusually low temperature in London caused residents to burn a lot of coal in their homes for heating, and the soot was emitted from the chimneys.
If the soot spreads in the atmosphere, it doesn't collect to create dense smog.
But there was an anticyclone over London at the time, heating up the air above London, causing the air higher up to be warmer than the air lower down.
In this way, the air in London cannot rise, so it stagnates in London, and at the same time keeps the soot in London.
Soot and exhaust fumes continued to be emitted from citizens' homes and factories, so that more and more pollutants accumulated in London's air.
At the same time, there was a high content of water vapor in the air in those days. In the cold air, the water vapor was cooled to the dew point, and a large amount of soot provided them with condensation nuclei, so thick smoke appeared.
The smoke was yellow in color and at its thickest, visibility was only a few meters away, and the air smelled of rotten eggs.
People will feel obvious discomfort when inhaled into the lungs.
About 4000 people died in this environmental pollution incident.
Taking history as a mirror, these are bloody lessons.
Du Mu once wrote in A Fang Gong Fu: Qin people have no time to mourn for themselves, but later generations mourn;
I hope that the tragedy of history will not always repeat itself.
Standing in front of the window, Chen Yang looked at the gray weather outside, and his mood was slightly affected.
Inexplicably homesick, he took out his cell phone and dialed his mother directly.
"Hey? Son, why did you call me suddenly? I just wanted to call you."
Mom's voice came from the phone quickly.
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment.
Because my mother's words... faintly familiar?
I just can't remember where I heard it...
Forget it, it doesn't matter.
"Ahem, I just feel homesick all of a sudden, you want to call me? Is there something going on at home?"
Chen Yang coughed dryly and asked.
"It's okay, I have a good food and a good house now, and you send so much money to the family every month, and your dad and I don't know how to spend it. It's unbelievable. Your dad and I couldn't think of it anyway. , One day I will worry about not spending enough money.
Your grandpa said that this is the life of a big capitalist. In the past, it would have been criticized.So your dad and I are thinking about saving as much of the money you give each month as possible, and buying you another house on this side of the house. In case there is a problem with you in the future, there is also a way out . "
Listening to his mother's nagging, Chen Yang was a little dumbfounded.
Reluctantly said: "Don't worry, there is no possibility of problems. You and my dad can spend the money given to the family with peace of mind. Buy the most beautiful clothes and eat the best food. In short, for me, the money is nothing to me. Not worth mentioning."
"Tsk, your grandpa also said that we are big capitalists, obviously you are the big capitalists. Oh, yes! If you interrupted me, I forgot to call you. Mengmeng is going to be on winter vacation soon , she plans to go to the capital for a few days with her roommates when the holidays come, and then wait to come back with you for the New Year.
You are a brother, remember to take care of it when the time comes.Don't let Mengmeng be bullied outside!Your aunt originally didn't want to agree, but after all Mengmeng is old enough to have her own ideas, plus you are also in the capital, your aunt couldn't resist, so she had no choice but to agree.You call Mengmeng later and set up a time with her, did you hear that? "
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, but the figure of a kid appeared in his mind.
Mengmeng's full name is Wu Meng, a child of his aunt's family, that is, his younger sister.
Chen Yang and his younger siblings often played together when they were young, but as they grew older, each had a different circle of friends and classmates, and the number of times they met suddenly decreased.
So much so that now, when I think of it by chance, I feel a little strange?
"Okay, Mom, I see. Don't worry, I will entertain Mengmeng and her roommate well."
Chen Yang took a deep breath, smiled and agreed.
Chapter 485 Reaching the Wall
Wu Guangzhi was lying on his desk bored, playing 'Survival' on his mobile phone with a hopeless expression on his face.
He was unlucky in this round and almost fell into a box on the spot.
Although relying on his superb awareness and running position, he barely survived the opening stage, but his equipment was not good enough, which made Wu Guangzhi very clear that he would definitely not be able to make it to the finals in this round.
But admitting defeat directly is not in line with his character, so Wu Guangzhi can only hide in such a boring way, so that he can survive for as long as possible.
No way, in this kind of game, strength and luck coexist.
In many cases, it is not because you are strong that you can survive to the end.
Strength can only guarantee your lower limit in the game, and there are always many factors that can determine the upper limit.
In fact, this is one of the points of attraction of similar games.
Every round is a fresh start!
Every game means a completely different experience!
Just when Wu Guangzhi felt that this round of the game was hopeless, and he continued to insist on it entirely in order not to drag down the average ranking, a good turning point suddenly appeared in front of him!
Not far from where he was hiding, within the viewing range of the screen, a player suddenly jumped down from a height as if he was stupid.
'Survival' does a great job of 'realistic simulation', so it's no surprise that this player fell to his death on the spot and left a pretty rich legacy.
Without going forward to conduct a detailed inspection, Wu Guangzhi can roughly determine what kind of equipment the player is wearing.
To put it simply, as long as he successfully inherits the legacy of the sand sculpture suicide player, it will be possible to persist until the final round, and even win the final victory!
The mood that was originally calm as water suddenly became excited.
Wu Guangzhi immediately sat up straight from the prone position.
Do it!Must do!
Go big!Do it to death!
Fuck, fuck, get pregnant!
Wu Guangzhi manipulated the character on the phone, jumped out from the hiding place, and then paid attention to the surrounding situation, carefully moving towards the corpse of the sand sculpture player.
Seeing that he was about to approach, and when he was about to start touching the corpse, Wu Guangzhi hadn't had time to get excited, but the phone suddenly cut to the screen of the incoming call!
Wu Guangzhi's eyes widened suddenly. Just now, in order to be able to complete the operation of touching the corpse the moment he got close to the corpse of the sand sculpture player, his hands kept touching without affecting the movement.
So after the phone screen switched to the incoming call screen, he accidentally pressed the answer button.
"Hello, is this Mr. Wu Guangzhi, Mr. Wu? I am Liepin. On behalf of Penguin, I would like to extend a sincere invitation to you. I hope you can work in Penguin. The benefits are generous, and the salary standard will be in line with your current salary." On some basis, a 50.00% increase is carried out.
As for Penguin, I don't need an introduction to you, Mr. Wu.You should also know how rare it is to be invited by Penguin, so I hope you can seize it so that your career can reach a new level. "
A series of voices came from the phone.
Wu Guangzhi was stunned, and then couldn't help cursing: "Crazy! I haven't registered with your Liepin! Who allowed you to call me at will! This is harassment! I will go to the supervision department Complain about you!"
After cursing, Wu Guangzhi directly pressed the phone to death, and then quickly switched the screen back to the game.
It's just a pity... When Wu Guangzhi's phone screen returned to the game, his screen had turned black and white...
Staring blankly at the death scene, Wu Guangzhi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This feeling of infinite hope just born, but instant despair made him fall into an unspeakable depression.
"Penguin... I can't finish with you!"
Wu Guangzhi roared in grief and indignation.
At the same time, the company's front desk.
Xiaomi, who was doing nothing, also received a call from a headhunting company.
Listening to the person on the phone introducing himself, and then confidently talking about the treatment that Penguin can provide, a strange look appeared on Xiaomi's face.
After the person on the phone finished speaking, he opened his mouth and said, "Do you know... I'm just a receptionist?"
The other end of the phone suddenly fell into silence.
After a long while, he continued: "It doesn't matter at the front desk. Penguin Company is eager for talents. As long as they are employees of Chenyang Technology, they are willing to provide more favorable treatment and salary. This is a very rare opportunity! To be able to enter Penguin Company , This is the dream of many people! I hope you don’t miss it.”
"The front desk also wants it? Is the Penguin company so hungry now?"
Xiaomi was speechless.
"Cough, cough, cough, it's not that you are hungry, but you are optimistic about your development. Penguin believes that you are all very capable young people. It is really a waste of life to stay in a small company like Chenyang Technology. You should do it for yourself. Think about the future! From the perspective of career development prospects, Penguin is obviously much stronger than Chenyang Technology."
The person on the other end of the phone continued to persuade.
"Is that so... You said just now that Penguin would use [-] times to twice the salary to recruit me?"
Xiaomi raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, you need to discuss the specific salary with the personnel of Penguin Company. But I can guarantee that Penguin Company is very sincere and will definitely offer you a salary that satisfies you."
The person on the other end of the phone said confidently.
"It seems that you not only don't know my job position in Chenyang Technology, but also don't know my income in Chenyang Technology..."
A mocking expression appeared on Xiaomi's face.
"Um...what do you mean?"
The voice on the phone sounded hesitant.
"I'm at Chenyang Technology. If nothing else happens, I can earn about 50 a year. So do you think Penguin will use a million annual salary to poach a front desk?"
Xiaomi asked with a smile.
The other end of the phone fell into silence again.
This time the silence was much longer than before.
After a long time, the voice on the phone rang again.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Who do you think you are! Auntie, I don't even bother to tease you! I don't even know the situation of our company, but I just ran over to poach the wall in a stupid way! It's not embarrassing! Penguin is amazing! Tell me You! Even if Penguin Company asks my aunt to go, my aunt won’t bother to answer! Don’t call me in the future! Otherwise, I will go to the relevant department to complain about your illegal harassment!”
After Xiaomi finished cursing, she hung up the phone straightforwardly.
Chapter 486
The call from the headhunting company hit almost every mobile phone of Chenyang Technology's employees.
Although it maintains a high-speed development state and new employees are recruited every day, Chenyang Technology is a new company after all.
Therefore, all the employees of the subsidiary and the parent company are combined, and the number is only a few hundred.
It is not difficult for a large-scale headhunting company to call all these employees in a very short period of time.
