Chapter 97

Walk along the fine sand road for about ten minutes.

The crowd saw a tall tower.

"This should be the lighthouse of Huangshi Island, right?"

"Looks like we're going to the beach soon."

"Tsk tsk, this lighthouse should have been repaired only after it was built. Look, there is a huge searchlight above it." Li Haiyang whispered beside him.

Walking past the lighthouse, Wang Xiaoer and Zhao Xiaolei pointed to a few black spots on the beach not far away.

"Captain Gao, Station Manager Lin, that's our captain and team members."

"They should be treating turtles by now."

"The sea water has been polluted these days, and many sea turtles have climbed onto the beach."

Looking from a distance, the golden beach is covered with heat waves.

Due to the continuous influx of waves, the tide has filled the entire beach with black crude oil.

In the blue sky, a group of white seagulls are flying in the sky.

come closer.

A few figures wearing straw hats were squatting on the beach, checking the turtles.

A man in his forties wearing glasses saw Wang Xiaoer bring Lin Bei over.

He shouted to the men and women who were working, and then stood up.

"Oh, Lao Gao, you are finally here."

"I've been too busy these days." The middle-aged man wearing glasses yelled.

"Zhang Jian, you're so tanned that you almost didn't recognize it."

"Why, the situation on the island is not good?" Gao Hongwei smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed him a cigarette.

"It's very bad, a lot of marine life is dying right now."

"We've already buried part of it on the spot. Alas, we can't save it." Zhang Jian caught a cigarette in his ear.

"I heard that this time, Professor Chen sent his most proud student here?"

"Which one of you is Lin Bei, Station Master Lin?" Zhang Jian looked at the crowd and said.

"Hello, Team Zhang, I'm Lin Bei." Lin Bei looked at Zhang Jian and smiled.

"Young man is not bad. I heard that the last time I went to Shennongjia for scientific research, I found a donkey-headed wolf?"

"Now the experts and professors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are all praising you." Zhang Jian patted Lin Bei on the shoulder and said.

"Hehe, it's all luck to find a donkey-headed wolf." Lin Bei laughed.

"Okay, Lao Zhang, let's assign tasks."

"The team members I lead this time are all the top students in Yanjing." Gao Hongwei looked around and said.

"Okay, then let's work first and have a good chat in the evening."

Zhang Jian took out the walkie-talkie.

"Huang Jia, Luo Yue, you two come here."

"Take Captain Gao and the others to your side to save the turtles."

"I'll ask Wang Xiaoer to go back and prepare a few dishes for everyone to have a meal in the evening."

"Captain Zhang, is Senior Lin Bei here?"

"Hee hee, we'll be right over."

Huang Jia's voice came from the intercom.

"Girl Huang Jia, do you know me?" Zhang Jian turned his head and asked.

"Yes, she is a class younger than me, and she is also a student of Teacher Chen." Lin Bei explained.

Not long after, Huang Jia and Luo Yue ran over.

"Hey, Senior Lin Bei, here I come!"

"How is it? Are you still used to this island?" Huang Jia leaned over to Lin Bei and whispered.

"Little girl, why don't you wear a hat, you're all tanned."

"I'm quite used to it, but there is always a fishy smell on the seaside."

Lin Bei laughed.

"It turns out that the scenery on this island is quite beautiful."

"It's just that the crude oil leaked from the offshore drilling platform some time ago, and the crude oil drifted nearby through ocean currents, and it became like this."

"But I heard from Captain Zhang that the country will soon send a ship to clean it up."

Huang Jia smiled slightly, showing two small tiger teeth.

"Let's go, Captain Gao, our mission area is here." Luo Yue greeted everyone and pointed to a beach in the distance.

Follow Luo Yue and Huang Jia to this beach.

Lin Bei found several sea turtles.

The back of the turtle is covered with barnacles, and there are obviously some sticky black oil stains on it.

The sun shone down, and the black oil stains even flashed with colorful luster.

"These two turtles, you should have cleaned them up, right?"

"But looking at the status, it seems that something is wrong."

"Li Haiyang, the first aid kit, inject half of the antidote to these two turtles."

"Lin Bei, go over there and see if there are any other sea turtles that have come ashore."

Gao Hongwei knelt down and said solemnly.

After receiving the task, Lin Bei nodded.

Started looking for sea turtles that came ashore on the beach.

Not long after, a big turtle dangled and was hit by the waves.

"There are many barnacles and oil stains growing on the shell of this sea turtle."

"Let's clean it up first, and then take corresponding measures according to its situation."

Soon, Lin Bei briefly washed the turtle's back with sea water.

Cleaned up all the black oil stains on the surface.

And the audience in the live broadcast room, looking at the big turtle in the camera, began to discuss.

"I'll go, this turtle is a bit big."

"What kind of turtle is this? Why are there bumps on the shell?"

"Good guy, this turtle should be several dozen years old, right? Coral is growing on its back."

"That's not coral, that's barnacles, a parasitic sea creature."

"Is Station Master Lin using a dagger to pry barnacles for sea turtles?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the first time I've seen picking barnacles."

"What kind of turtle is this? It looks so weird."

"This should be an adult, leatherback turtle."

"Looking at his body shape, he should have lived for 30 to [-] years."

"Leatherback turtles are large, the largest of the order Turtles, with a large head, short neck and tail, paddle-shaped limbs, no claws, and particularly well-developed forelimbs."

"Leatherback turtles are temperature-changing reptiles. They swim quickly and are extremely capable. They are omnivorous. They lay eggs between May and June every year. They lay 5-6 eggs at a time. They mainly inhabit the middle and upper layers of tropical seas and are distributed in the Atlantic Ocean. and the Pacific Ocean."

"We rinsed it out and it didn't look like it was seriously injured."

"But you can see that their claws have been infected by the poisonous substances in crude oil and corrosion."

"So we're going to give them a brief disinfection."

Lin Bei took out the diluted iodophor from his backpack, and gently wiped the turtle's wound with a cotton ball.

As the temperature continues to rise, more and more sea turtles are crawling out of the sea.

In just two hours, Lin Bei had rescued four turtles.

"Huh, the weather is really hot." Lin Bei wiped off his sweat and looked at the camera of the drone.

Boom.
On the distant horizon, several large ships suddenly appeared.

Several helicopters also hovered in the air, throwing the foam buoy.

Everyone on the beach was attracted by this scene.

"Don't be nervous, everyone, here are the helicopters and ships to clean up the crude oil."

"They will collect the crude oil by floating, and then use the suction machine to pump the crude oil floating on the coast."

Zhang Jian in the distance explained.

"I'll go, the original one came to clean up the leaked crude oil."

"I thought there was a war."

"Tsk tsk, the helicopters flew to the island just now."

"Stationmaster Lin, come and give us some science on the threat of this crude oil leak."

"Yes, are these crude oils poisonous?"

The audience sent bullet screens one after another.

Looking at the barrage on the phone, Lin Bei nodded.

"Then I will give you a popular science, what kind of harm will this crude oil leak cause."

"Because oil is lighter than water, once a crude oil spill occurs, it will float on the sea surface, and the area will continue to expand with the flow of water, which will isolate the gas exchange between the sea and the air, reduce the oxygen content in seawater, and cause serious damage to the survival of various fish. Great threat."

"In addition, it also reduces the sunlight's exposure to the ocean, reduces the temperature of the sea water, and destroys the marine ecological chain in the polluted sea area; and marine birds, etc., will also be unable to fly for food due to the contamination of crude oil, or even block their nostrils and cannot breathe, eventually causing a large number of die."

"Petroleum contains a lot of toxic substances such as benzene, which will be swallowed by some plankton after entering the ocean, and then affect the entire marine life through the food chain."

"If humans eat contaminated marine products, their health will also be affected. It can be said that no living thing from the sea to the land can survive."
