Chapter 182 Departure, Shangri-La

"Brother Xiao, just tell me if you can eat it!"

"Then why don't you tell me what arsenic trioxide is?"

"What do you mean Brother Xiao? My head is about to explode."

Chen Xi was much better than the people in the live broadcast room, because since Zhang Xiao ate, she didn't care, anyway, there were only 6 of them, so you can eat as you please.

The two of them quickly divided up the 6 lychee shrimp balls, and Zhang Xiao seemed to feel a little embarrassed. The people in the live broadcast room were probably going to have a schizophrenia because of him.

"Actually, this arsenic trioxide is arsenic, haha!"

Well, after the word 'arsenic' comes out, those who have watched a lot of historical film and television dramas, how can they not know what this thing is. In ancient times, this thing was a top poison, even now it is very poisonous. big.

"Let me give you some popular science about arsenic."

"Arsenic was first used as an auxiliary drug to treat syphilis or tuberculosis, and was later developed to make insecticides or rodenticides. However, due to its strong toxicity, arsenic has long been regarded as a weapon for killing people. For more than 2000 years, arsenic has been associated with words such as "poisoning" and "violent death", so it is "notorious".

Although arsenic is undoubtedly a "first class" poison, it is not without its merits.Arsenic can play many roles in the treatment of human diseases.

Historically, there have long been records of using arsenic compounds to treat chronic diseases such as sleeping sickness, tuberculosis, and skin diseases.Samuel Waxman, a clinical professor of medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York and an oncologist, said: "People are always afraid of dying from arsenic poisoning and thinking that it is the cause of tumors.

But dating back to the time of Hippocrates (Hippocrates was a famous doctor in ancient Greece, who lived around 460 BC-370 BC and was called the father of medicine), it has been used in one form or another. Used to treat diseases.The medicinal use of arsenic reached its peak at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, and almost all pharmacists would use this medicine. "

In nineteenth-century Styria, in what is now southern Austria and northern Slovenia, farmers there routinely ingested doses of arsenic to strengthen their bodies.

In Great Britain in the 17th century, various compounds of arsenic were used to make preservatives; an arsenic compound discovered in 1909, arsenamin, was long used to treat syphilis, yaws and other spirochete infections until the 20th century It was replaced by penicillin in the 40s. "

"Today, the use of arsenic has been strictly controlled, but in the treatment of some parasitic diseases, the help of arsenic is still indispensable. In addition to the medical field, arsenic, a component of arsenic, is also an important element in the semiconductor industry. It is mostly used in gallium Arsenic compounds. In recent years, with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine has been more and more widely recognized.

The practice of using arsenic in traditional Chinese medicine to treat some tumor diseases, especially acute myeloid leukemia, has also been confirmed.Patients with this blood disease, due to mutations in genetic factors in the body, produce malformed proteins, which interfere with the normal production and death of white blood cells.Proven by the US Food and Drug Administration.

The trioxide compound of arsenic can make the deformed protein self-destruct, so that the growth of white blood cells returns to normal."Arguably, this drug may be the best form of medicine foreseeable for this type of leukemia," Waxman said.

Some doctors also believe that arsenic trioxide has less side effects on patients than conventional chemotherapy.Arsenic trioxides have been increasingly used in clinical practice for the treatment of, for example, lymphatic, prostate or uterine cancers. "

At this time, Chen Xi was chewing the last lychee shrimp ball, and when he heard Zhang Xiao talking about arsenic, he forgot to continue chewing for a while, and just stood there blankly.

As soon as Zhang Xiao saw Chen Xi's reaction, he immediately stopped being a joke. Originally, he just wanted to tease the people in the live broadcast room, but he didn't expect to scare his own Chen Xi.

"Actually, I have repeated it more than once before. Although there are many things that are delicious, you can't eat too much. The same is true for lychees. You can eat a small amount, but you can't eat too much or continuously.

In fact, you can also think this way, since this dish has appeared, it has a meaning of existence, we only need to eat a little bit occasionally, just like me today, puffer fish is still a highly poisonous fish, but there are still people there Eat, but I still don't recommend that you cook and eat at home. "

Zhang Xiao himself actually felt that the choice of this dish today was a bit of a loss, but thinking of the deliciousness of this food recorded in his memory, he couldn't help but make a little bit, it was really just a little bit, and the two of them only ate three That's all.

In fact, he also felt very helpless. People in ancient times invented this dish, and they probably never thought that this dish would become a controversial dish one day.

This is entirely due to the improper treatment of industrial wastewater and the improper use of insecticides and pesticides in recent years, resulting in the pollution of surface water and sea water, which increased the arsenic content in the water. The arsenic content in some animals and plants such as shrimp and kelp in the water also increased Significantly increased.

All in all, it is the sins of human beings themselves, thinking about developing this and that all day long, but forgetting about the protection of the environment, and the result is now a bitter fruit.

Although all countries have vigorously advocated environmental protection, some communities are not allowed to build if the environmental greening is not up to standard, and the greenery that has disappeared is slowly returning, but the protection is often not as fast as the destruction.

Take a piece of news he read a few days ago, saying that the Amazon forest was on fire. After burning for three weeks, the burned area exceeded 80 hectares.

The Amazon rainforest is being ravaged by thousands of fires, sparking global concern.

The largest rainforest on Earth, the Amazon rainforest covers 40 percent of South America and is home to more than 3000 million people and countless mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles, most of which are endemic to the jungle.The Amazon is often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth" because of its vital role in the production of oxygen, which is transported around the world by weather systems.Now, however, the fires are spewing staggering amounts of carbon into the atmosphere.

The Amazon rainforest does have a man-made fire season, which is increasing this time of year as farmers and ranchers have long used fire to clear land.

However, the number of fires has increased dramatically this year.

In the worst-affected state of Padang Amazonas, one month's peak was 15 percent higher than the average for the same period over the past 700 years.So what caused these fires?
The origin of the fires is man-made and deliberate, and most of the fires are agricultural fires, either where smallholder farmers burn stubble after harvest or farmers clear forests for farmland.

Illegal land grabbers also destroy trees, which have been cleared for farmland, so they can increase the value of the property they seize.Most of the agricultural fires are in deforested areas, but there are also fires in protected areas, and the number of fires has risen sharply this year, largely attributable to President Padang, who, in his first eight months in office, weakened the The Environment Agency has been weakened, environmental organizations have been weakened, and the Amazon has been promoted to mining, agriculture and logging, and the rate of deforestation has accelerated rapidly.

Previously released data showed that there were 72843 fires in the Amazon region this year alone, an 2018% increase from the same period in 83 and the highest level since records began in 2013.However, the blame for the situation cannot be entirely on Bolsonaro, the agricultural lobby powerful in Padang that has gradually eroded the protection system that was so successful between 2005 and 2014.Deforestation has increased over the past 5 years under former presidents Dilma Rousseff and Michel Temer.

Scientists say the Amazon is approaching a tipping point after which it will irreversibly degenerate into a dry savannah.At a time when the world needs billions of trees to absorb carbon and stabilize the climate, the planet is losing its largest rainforest.

When Padang wantonly destroys the largest "lung of the earth" for its own self-interest, the consequences it will bring will not appear until years or even decades later, and human beings will eventually pay a heavy price for their selfish desires. In the "lungs of the earth", there will be no place for greenhouse gases to be discharged, and global warming will reach an uncontrollable situation. The alarm bell should sound, and we must act.

It can only be said that the sins created by human beings will be borne by themselves sooner or later, but fortunately, human beings still know how to protect the environment and give back to the earth.

There was no controversy about the next dish of white snow chicken. Zhang Xiao and the others solved this dish easily, and then ate some steamed steamed buns, which filled their stomachs and settled their dinner.

There was another hahaha at night, but Zhang Xiao got out of bed at around 8 o'clock the next morning, but he did not forget his work.

The bedroom door was closed by him, and the drone was called back into the car by him grandiosely. Zhang Xiao routinely greeted the people in the live broadcast room.

"good morning everyone!"

"Brother Xiao, good morning!"

"My wheelchair!"

"Pfft 23333 When did the emperor end up in a wheelchair?"

"Haha, upstairs upstairs, let's not say that you are the second to send the barrage, you should type the words right anyway, haha."

"I'll come too, downstairs to pick up the morning urine."

"The universe has moved a lot, and it's going downstairs."

"Look at my method of sucking stars. No, I can't smoke. Send it downstairs."

"What?"

"Pfft, upstairs, you're trying to tease me to death, uh, something got into my mouth?"

Zhang Xiao said hello to the people in the live broadcast room, so he didn't look at those bullet screens. He didn't even need to think about it, and he knew that these guys must be messing with each other again.

"Okay, let's set off later and continue on the journey to XSBN!!!"

Chen Xi washed and made the bed in the bedroom, while Zhang Xiao drove the RV along the navigation and continued to set off without stopping.

Zhang Xiao sat on the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt, and said with a smile, "Do you know? On the way to XSBN, we will pass by Shangri-La~~"

"Wow?? Shangri-La!!"

"I heard that she must go to one place in this life. She definitely deserves the word "paradise on earth", and it is Shangri-La!!!"

"Yeah, I heard that the scenery of Shangri-La is really breathtakingly beautiful. I don't know if it will disappoint you hhhh"

"looking forward to!!"

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao smiled and continued to sigh: "Yes, Shangri-La is beautiful in four seasons, and there are many attractions to visit. It is also a paradise for many photographers. Shangri-La is the economic, cultural and political center of DQCZ Zhizhou, located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau The southern edge, the hinterland of the Hengduan Mountains. The intersection of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet is located in the northwest of Yunan Province, with an average altitude of 3300 meters."

In fact, he has always had a beautiful reverie about the prairie, whether it is the vastness of the ancient poem "the sky is blue, the wild is vast, the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low", or the modern song "the blue sky is white with clouds floating, under the white clouds The horse runs|" The comfort and peace of it all fascinated him infinitely.

After driving like this for a period of time, they finally came to the desirable Shangri-La, which is about to reach the Yila Prairie.

At this time, Zhang Xiao suddenly mentioned: "By the way, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I just suddenly remembered that when the time comes, let our family have a good reunion festival."

Speaking of this, he himself is also full of embarrassment, thinking that when he went out alone, worrying about rent and living expenses all day long, how could he think of celebrating the festival? Then envy the thousands of lights around you.

Even if he managed to settle down later, he no longer worried about food and shelter, but after leaving Lu Xue's family, the Mid-Autumn Festival was not as good as a person's.

This year is a turning point in his fate, and it is also the first year he has a small family again, so he pays special attention to this year's Mid-Autumn Festival. The family is gone, but he has a caravan, so he must park it in a It's a very beautiful place, and I had a perfect Mid-Autumn Festival with Chen Xi and the two little guys.

"Damn, I forgot, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"No, why didn't we get a holiday notice today?"

"Upstairs 233333, I have to say that you are very unlucky. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a statutory holiday. What kind of broken company are you staying in, and there is no holiday."

"66666 I have decided to have dinner with my family tomorrow."

"Congratulations Brother Xiao, you don't have to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone this year."

At the same time, some people also thought of Zhang Xiao's life experience, and celebrated him one after another. For Zhang Xiao, who was divorced since childhood, the Mid-Autumn Festival, a festival of reunion, must be the most painful to live alone.

But now it's all right, the two of them have formed a small family, and there are two cute pets by their side.

"Thank you everyone, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, I will also give myself a vacation to have a good time."

Zhang Xiao thanked the live broadcast room, then got up and drove the car, and continued to drive in the direction of Yila Prairie.

It was several hours away, and it was still in the morning at this time, and it was already afternoon when we arrived at the Yila Prairie, and we had to prepare ingredients for the reunion banquet in the evening on the second day.

The world is so big, and every place is different. Every time Zhang Xiao drives through each road, he will see different scenery.

Sometimes, he would linger on the way and lose himself in the scenery.

An encounter that was not romantic, made him meet Chen Xi, the perfect lifelong partner. Every time he thinks about it, his heart beats. He hates seeing each other late. Maybe this is fate. He just wants to be intoxicated and has nothing to do with the world.
