Chapter 181 Man-made Natural Disasters(2/2)
Bacteria harmful to the human body such as mold, parasites or anaerobic bacteria will gather and mix together and multiply in large quantities.
"He hasn't been found yet?"
Gu Ji put on a mask and opened the tent curtain. There were one or two rows of carpets inside. Yes, there were not even hospital beds. The patients seemed to be sleeping on the big bunk in the detention center. They were lying side by side on the ground, coughing feebly.
He came to the old man Fatima said. He looked sixty or seventy years old. He wore a red hat, a white beard, and a red dot between his eyebrows. He was looking at him with a weak face.
"We are looking for surveyors responsible for dams in the Brahmaputra basin, especially in the front section."
"Not yet, I need to test it."
Half an hour later, he finally got the blood routine report.
"I feel very uncomfortable. I keep feeling nauseous and vomiting. My mouth always feels a little fishy and sweet. Cough... Doctor! Doctor!"
Nandeo looked hesitant to speak again. He looked at Gu Ji and thought that the other person was his savior, so he told everything he knew, "Prem and I have been old friends for many years.
Well, one time after drinking, I heard him say that there are experimental nuclear devices and equipment cooperated by the United States and the Indian military buried in many places in the Himalayas!"
In firefighting and rescue operations, infrastructure workers are immersed in water for a long time, which can easily lead to various skin diseases. There are also a large number of rats and animals that migrate to highlands due to stagnant water, which can even cause death from leptospirosis, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, etc.
High rates of severe infectious diseases.
This time the medical team supported the village of Kokraja, where the third round of infectious diseases broke out.
“Count me in too!”
But if this is the truth, then the system should now prompt him that the goal is completed.
Marlowe seemed to understand, and turned around and said: "Sorry Vidi, our return route involves military secrets, and it is impossible to bring you near the base."
"What exactly do you want to ask?"
During the few days he left, he did not expect that the returning government would make new discoveries.
"They are moving too fast, Vidi, let's take a rest first, or..."
Along the way, he tentatively asked some questions about the loud noises in the Himalayas.
"Professor, you must know something. Now the entire village is suffering from radiation sickness. If we don't find out the truth, the entire Assam state, and even all the people along the Brahmaputra River will...
Cancer from radiation.”
More than a week has passed since the floods broke out in Assam, and most of the water has receded. Unexpectedly, there are still no clues.
"It's understandable. How about this? Can you just send me to Dispur?"
Unexpectedly, Fatima's voice came from behind.
"The police only found the bodies of the chief minister and the accompanying secretary in the downstream impact area, but not the water resources minister. After preliminary forensic examination, it was found that the two had a fight with someone before their death. As for whether it was the water resources minister who did it, it has not yet been determined.
"
But what is certain is that this device will always be radioactive and may leak into the snow in the Himalayas and penetrate into the river system in India. The military also sent people to conduct subsequent searches. Until now, the southern foothills of the Himalayas are still radioactive.
In the blockade of the military mountain division.
The two came to the office camp of the Geological Monitoring Bureau, where many officials and technicians were rescued by the two of them by boat that night, so everyone's attitude was extremely enthusiastic.
Through interviews and investigations by reporters, it was discovered that generations of people in this village have believed that nuclear devices were buried under the snow and rocks in the Himalayan mountains. It was these devices that "exploded", causing glaciers to break and causing floods.
Fatima stared at the report seriously, her tone full of disbelief.
"Excluding human factors, are you sure it was a glacier break that caused the flood?"
"Wei, Weidi, these missing people, who were involved in geological exploration, water conservancy, and construction of engineering facilities, were all forced to participate in this military remediation operation?"
But Gu Ji raised his eyebrows.
"Have you seen the glacier break?"
"We would like to ask about nuclear radiation. The villagers of Kokraja were contaminated by nuclear radiation and many people suffered from radiation sickness. Are there any radioactive minerals in the Himalayas?"
"The front section of the river is full of old dams. Those were basically explored by Director Prime himself, but he has not been found yet."
Gu Ji asked directly about the key points.
Since the floods ended, the state government's focus has shifted from search and rescue to post-disaster disposal and reconstruction. It currently faces two main problems:
One is food, because floods have destroyed farmland and towns, and the state government's granary has been severely damaged. In addition, roads and train traffic have been blocked by landslides, and it is difficult to transport external supplies. We can only rely on the central cabinet's military support.
Transport planes transport food by air, but it cannot satisfy the consumption of nearly one million people;
The second is medical care. Disaster evacuation centers lack necessary medical conditions. Since urban hospitals have been flooded, all injured people currently have to be sent to temporary first aid stations in disaster evacuation centers. Surgery is performed in tents. There is a serious shortage of doctors, which is even more serious.
Unfortunately, there are currently small-scale infectious disease incidents occurring in disaster relief centers and villages across the country, and medicines are simply not available.
"The reason is also the glacier break. It seems that this is the cause of the flood. It just hurts these villagers. Their illnesses are very serious, but our medical conditions..."
"You have to ask the military."
Gu Ji squinted his eyes and connected the information he had previously investigated one by one.
The official in blue vest shook his head, but his tone was particularly firm.
With so many "coincidences" connected in series, Gu Ji can be sure that this disaster will not be as simple as it seems!
The glacier break may be true.
He was responsible for visiting people, while Fatima followed the medical team and interviewed those who were sick, especially those who had experienced the floods firsthand.
"Brother, how do you feel? Are there any pain in your lungs?"
These people managed to escape from mudslides and floods, but now they are facing death again because of drug problems.
At this time, the doctor is instructing the officials in charge of the isolation point to pay attention to the water source conditions.
"It is confirmed that investigators sent by the Department of Agriculture visited the front section of the Brahmaputra River and indeed found traces of the glacier breaking off and impacting the river bed. The villagers also heard a loud noise when the collapse occurred."
At this time, a muscular Indian guy behind him suddenly coughed violently. He took off the handkerchief and saw that the sputum in it was all blood-streaked.
Fatima couldn't help but ask, "Professor, does anyone else know about things in the Himalayas?"
Theoretically, unless they encounter strong nuclear radiation, it is impossible for the villagers of Kokraja to suffer from serious diseases such as intestinal bleeding in a short period of time. However, he, Fatima and others have been in close contact with the village and have not felt dizziness or nausea.
Symptoms such as these indicate that this kind of nuclear radiation has existed a long time ago, and it is most likely that the water source has been contaminated by upstream pollution.
"The doctor said that drinking unclean water may have caused intestinal infection, nausea, and vomiting. One old man had intestinal bleeding, causing bloody diarrhea."
"Disappeared again?"
After returning to the disaster evacuation center, he first sent the blood to the temporary medical aid station and did a routine blood test. The blood cell detector is one of the most widely used instruments in clinical testing in hospitals and is not large in size, so he was taken to the hospital early in the morning.
Transferred out.
"The disaster avoidance center will understand the basic situation and prepare vehicles, personnel and materials. The focus must be on the villages at the southern foot of the Himalayan Mountains. We have to go to the northern border!"
Gu Ji was slightly startled.
The BBC further explained that all this actually originated from the espionage intelligence incident in the 1960s when the United States cooperated with India to place nuclear power monitoring equipment in many places in the Himalayas to monitor Xia's nuclear tests and missile launches.
The village is in a mess. The houses have collapsed, collapsed, and been crushed like cardboard boxes. The ground is devastated and covered with muddy rocks. Some villagers can only live in temporary tents issued by the government on the hillside.
Gu Ji initially suspected that the Minister of Water Resources would abscond in fear of crime and commit a murder. Unexpectedly, this was actually the case, and it was even darker. It turned out that he concealed it not to evade responsibility, but to deliberately wait for the flood to occur in order to take advantage of the situation.
Make a fortune.
Marlowe just made a few perfunctory remarks about this, saying that he didn't know the specific situation.
That was a secret story reported by the BBC. It was caused by a huge flood that broke out in Reni village in Uttarakhand, India in 2021. Experts believe that this flood that has killed more than 50 people was caused by glaciers.
It was caused by a rupture, but for the villagers of Reni Village, many people do not believe this statement, because the incident happened in February, it is winter, and the glacier cannot melt and break.
"Have you found the engineering team responsible for the dam repairs of the Water Conservancy Department?"
As a semi-intelligence force of the military, they don't care about the abnormal noise in the mountains. Aren't they afraid of plane crashes or missile attacks?
The flight from Kolkata to Dispur takes about half an hour.
But the cause of glacier breakage is definitely not high temperature or natural collapse!
"Vidi, the medical team from the disaster evacuation center is going to the Kokraja village in Bangbei to provide support. Do we want to go with them?"
"I'll go with you!"
"You have so much energy!"
Fatima muttered something in her mouth and followed quickly.
Arrive in Bangbei Kokraja County.
The temporary tents where residents live in disaster evacuation centers are relatively simple and crowded, with poor air circulation, poor sanitary conditions, and lack of water resources. When the living environment is polluted, respiratory and intestinal infectious diseases are most likely to occur.
Transmission, such as influenza, measles, bacillary dysentery, amoebic dysentery, etc.
"Repair? I think it's a cover-up. It was the nuclear device reaction that was missed by the US-India military cooperative laboratory, which caused the glacier to break. And because of the cut corners and corruption in the water conservancy infrastructure, it did not play its due role in blocking it, which triggered this...
The tragedy of the flood can be said to be a natural disaster caused by 'man-made'!"
Gu Ji had just finished speaking.
