Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 122 122. First sight of the New World

Tang Qinqin carefully served the gastrodia elata, dendrobium and other herbs harvested from this forest trip, and created suitable growth environments for them.

Gastrodia elata and Dendrobium officinale are still in the seedling stage. When Tang Qinqin communicates with them, their voices are tender and cute.

Because they are precious medicinal materials and grow slowly, Tang Qinqin gave them a drop of life water each to let them adapt to the new environment as quickly as possible, grow up, and reproduce with vigor.

Tang Qinqin would never admit that this last point was what she wanted most.

The temperature gradually rises in spring. Although there are often sudden attacks by cold air such as late spring cold, generally speaking, the temperature in the north is still "warm" and pleasant.

The seawater temperature has also begun to rise, and ocean currents and wind directions have accelerated the movement of the "New World" garbage islands.

Faced with this approaching threat, the national fishery department, environmental protection department, and coastal city security departments jointly issued safety notices. Citizens in the cities concerned received emergency warning text messages on their mobile phones, reminding everyone to be prepared and stay away from danger. If necessary, people from coastal cities will be temporarily evacuated to inland areas.

Fishing boats and cargo ships out to sea have also received orders to return to the nearest port. According to satellite monitoring data and pictures, the area of ​​this garbage island that is gradually approaching us has unknowingly expanded a lot. From the satellite cloud map, it is completely It's a terrifying behemoth.

No one wants a garbage island to come close to our homes, or even land on our shores.

We don’t know how many bacteria and harmful substances are contained in the garbage that has been accumulated for a long time. But as long as we imagine that the garbage island that can be called the "New World" will one day hit our coast, no one can imagine what a disaster it will be. A disaster with unforeseen consequences.

On a smaller scale, it surrounds our continent and isolates the ocean. What people in coastal cities see every day is no longer the blue sea, what they breathe is no longer the sea breeze slightly smelly of seafood, and the ebb and flow of the sea water can no longer be heard. Harvest full of sea gifts and surprises.

Instead, there are piles of garbage everywhere.

Dirty air.

This is already terrifying, but what about the bigger picture?

No one dared to think.

Many volunteers in the country began to call on everyone to unite to fight against it.

Tang Qinqin and his teammates also entered the game at this time. The goal of the game mission is this "Internet celebrity" garbage island that has attracted great attention.

"Because we are not sure of the type of garbage, we need to take protective measures in advance. The protective clothing should be as protective as possible against radiation, acid and alkali corrosion, wear-resistant and waterproof."

“Everyone, please bring a detector and check whether there are hazardous chemicals when cleaning up garbage, and proceed with caution!”

"Those who don't know how to swim or have poor water skills should try to travel in groups and don't be alone. If you accidentally fall into the sea, call for help in time and don't show off."

"We still don't know enough about the ocean. We may not even imagine the dangers involved. Everyone should be more vigilant. This is not a land we are familiar with. We must pay attention to safety!"

"You don't need to worry too much. After all, we have experience in disposing of garbage on Yellow Star. I believe we will complete the task satisfactorily soon..."

Before going to sea, Song Yuanze, Dong Mingzhe and several others gave everyone repeated safety education.

In the vast sea, there is no signal. It is difficult to avoid or call for help when encountering danger. Each teammate can only be alert and tighten his heart strings.

This time when we went to sea, the national security department sent soldiers who were adapted to the maritime environment to accompany us. The players did not fight alone this time.

Volunteers from the spontaneous organization are not allowed to go to sea for the time being, and the situation at sea is unknown. We will wait for news from the advance team before making a decision.

After boarding the ship, the players looked at the crowds of people standing on the shore to see them off, and felt a variety of emotions in their hearts.

There is not only concern for the relatives on the shore, but also confusion about the unknown of this trip, and there is also a kind of enthusiasm to contribute to the protection of the homeland.

This time it’s not just Tang Qinqin’s player team, but also several other teams that have worked together.Despite this, when everyone finally saw the whole garbage island from a distance, they also realized the difficulty of this task.

There are only 500 people in total, which is the largest number of participants since Tang Qinqin and the others entered the game, and there are also many non-game players.

Although most of the players present had seen what the once-down-and-out Yellow Star looked like covered in garbage, they were still shocked to see such a huge garbage island appearing on the planet they lived on.

Because the ship was too big, it could not get closer, otherwise there would be a risk of "hitting the rocks". Everyone divided into groups and drove over in rubber boats.

Protective suits and masks are all in place, and everyone is holding a familiar tool in their hands - a garbage-picking "artifact" commonly used by sanitation workers on the streets.

The long pole is like an enlarged version of an iron clamp. You can pick up trash dropped on the ground by bending slightly. It is hygienic, convenient and fast.

The rubber boat soon arrived at the foot of the garbage island.

Everyone tried to step on it with their feet, but there was no sinking as expected.

Even apart from the "squeaking" sound of the garbage stepped on, the garbage island did not move at all.

"Good guy, this island is quite real." Lao Tian raised his foot and stamped twice, exclaiming in surprise.

Laojiu gave him a pinch with the unopened artifact in his hand unceremoniously.

In exchange for an exaggerated scream: "Ouch!"

Tang Qinqin smiled and ignored the excitement of Lao Tian. He followed Mengru and Lan Lan to the garbage island.

In addition to the players and warriors who came to destroy this time bomb island, there were also several people responsible for mapping the overall data information of the garbage island, mainly the situation below the sea surface and the imperfections in satellite monitoring.

This requires someone to dive into the seawater to measure the data.

Two people put on diving equipment, tied safety tubes and dived into the water first.

The ocean is unfathomable, and it is not clear what is going on in the sea. The most appropriate measurement plan can only be planned through multiple dives.

Everyone on the island began to break up into groups and take action.

The hazardous chemicals detector is tied around the waist so that one's hands can be freed to clean up the garbage.Everyone is holding a bag in one hand and a magic tool for picking up garbage in the other hand. There are signs of garbage classification on the bags. Different types of garbage correspond to bags of different colors. For example, if Tang Qinqin is holding a blue bag, she needs to only sort the recyclables. Items are placed here.

When the bag is full, tie the mouth with a rope. Someone who specializes in carrying the bag to the ship will come and put it on the rubber boat. When enough is loaded, it will be transported back to the ship.

Garbage is misplaced resources.

So is Trash Island.

It is menacing and scary, but on the other hand, it is also a huge resource bank with abundant recyclable waste, most of which is plastic waste.

This is also part of the reason why the country allows players to take the initiative to welcome the garbage island.

Obviously, for every country, resources are important and scarce, and it is very important to take advantage of this ownerless garbage island.

What's more, its existence also seriously threatens the safety of people's lives and property in our coastal cities. No matter what the considerations are, it is always to strike first.
