Chapter 169 Entering the Village to Find the Radiation Source

"Okay, then take it."

Chen Yiming said.

Hearing these words, Zhang Miao felt strange. Could it be that Chen Yiming worked here not for money, but for the pleasure of helping others?

Otherwise, he would want a salary of [-] yuan, and if he was given such an easy job and paid [-] yuan, he would not want it?
Therefore, Zhang Miao cherished Chen Yiming more and more, knowing that he was not doing it for money, but for helping the villagers see a doctor.

No wonder he is so good at medicine that he is willing to stay in the village health station.

"Well, let's get in the car. Let's go to Mahua Village. The situation is a bit serious. The dean asked me to find out the reason quickly, and then make a solution. If this kind of thing is delayed for one more day, it will be harmful to the health of the villagers. A huge threat that cannot be delayed."

Liu Zhentao said.

"indeed so."

Chen Yiming nodded.

Without delay, everyone got into the car together. There were three cars in total. In addition to the people from Liu Zhentao's department, there were also three policemen and people from the Geological Bureau of the town. Because Zhang Miao said that it might be a problem with groundwater, Have them take a sample to check.

They brought equipment to test on the spot. If there are radioactive substances in the water, drinking groundwater is prohibited first.

Three vehicles set off from the Dakeng Village Office to Mahua Village.

Mahua Village is only three or four kilometers away, so they arrived in Mahua Village in less than 10 minutes.

At this time, there were not many people at the entrance of Mahua Village, and they were obviously evacuated, leaving only seven or eight people, one of whom was the village head of Mahua Village, and several leaders of the neighborhood committee of the brigade.

When the village chief Yang You saw people coming from the town, he immediately greeted them and said, "Comrades from the town hospital, police officers, and comrades from the Geological Bureau, welcome everyone to come. On behalf of the villagers of Mahua Village, I would like to thank you all."

"Okay, don't be polite, let's talk about the situation."

Liu Zhentao is the captain of this mission, and he contacted the others to assist, so he can serve as a representative for questioning. Chen Yiming and Zhang Miao, the doctors who discovered the case, naturally also came to verify.

The village chief Yang You nodded and said: "After receiving the notice from the superior, I immediately went to register one by one, and found that among the 360 ​​people left in the village, about 200 people vomited to varying degrees. , diarrhea, dizziness and headache, and I have been in the town for a meeting for the past two days, and I received such a notice just after I came back, but I was spared, and my family basically had this situation.”

"The disease was discovered by two doctors from the Dakeng Village Health Station. They suspected it was radiation. At first Zhang Miao said he was poisoned, but we just did a simple examination on a patient. There was no poison in his blood, especially visible." , most likely radiation."

Liu Zhentao said: "Now it's been talked about too much. We brought in technicians to check the radiation in the advanced village. Is there radiation in the groundwater or in the village?"

"Ah."

Village head Yang You nodded, and the other leaders walked into the village without saying much.

The road in Mahua Village is much better than that in Dakeng Village, at least it can fit into a car, so Chen Yiming and the others got into the car and continued on their way.

Soon, we arrived at the village chief's house.

And Yang You's house happened to be in the center of the village, a two-story building that was built in the past few years and still new.

The inspectors immediately carried out radiation detection, and within 2 minutes after turning on the machine, an alarm was issued, scaring Liu Zhentao and the others into pale faces.

"There is radiation, but it's not very strong. Don't worry, everyone, it's still within the range of the human body's tolerance. It's not a big problem to stay for an hour."

The technician hurriedly explained.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. No one is afraid of radiation. If you are not careful, you may stimulate cancer cells in your body, and you may get cancer or something.

"Can you determine where that radiation source is?"

Liu Zhentao asked.

"This kind of radiation is not very strong. If you want to find the source, you have to have a big gap to judge the center of the radiation from the magnitude of the radiation. But it is very difficult to find such a small gap."

The technician from the Geological Bureau told the truth.

"Okay, look at the groundwater, Village Chief Yang, the water in your house is from a well, right?"

Liu Zhentao asked.

"Yes, the well I dug at home is still in the water tank. Go check it out."

Yang You said.

"I think it's better to get some groundwater to check first. After all, the radiation may weaken after a period of time, so it may not be possible to check it out."

Chen Yiming suggested.

Hearing what Chen Yiming said, the technician said: "It is indeed possible, let's get a fresh water source, so that we can confirm whether the current groundwater still has radiation, not the previous one."

"it is good."

Liu Zhentao said.

The technician didn't delay, went straight forward, did it himself, got the water up from the well, and started to police.

As soon as the detector was put into the water, there was an alarm sound, and the radiation was twice as high as before.

"Fuck!"

Everyone was shocked.

The technician explained: "Don't worry, the radiation is still within the tolerance range of the human body. However, drinking it into the stomach is very harmful to the body. There must be radioactive substances in the water. I have to fill a bottle and take it back for detailed testing. What substance is it?"

"However, there is definitely radiation underground in Mahua Village. It is recommended that the villagers not live there for the time being. We can only come back after we find the radiation source and completely solve the radiation problem."

said the technician.

"Well, it's really groundwater."

Yang You gasped.

At this time, Chen Yiming asked: "Are there any rivers and lakes nearby?"

"No, there are no rivers and lakes around Mahua Village. The river that passes through our town is only one day away. That is the Kangnan River, but this river is seven or eight kilometers away from Mahua Village. If there is a problem with the river, the nearby villages should be the latest , it won’t be Mahua Village’s turn.”

Liu Zhentao analyzed.

"Indeed, it shouldn't be a problem with the river water."

Zhang Miao also agreed with Liu Zhentao's statement.

"Hehe, I'm just asking. I didn't say it was a river water problem. I just used the method of elimination. The groundwater has a certain relationship with rivers and lakes. Of course, it is more related to inland rivers. If it is not caused by rivers and lakes, then It’s an underground river.”

Chen Yiming said: "It was fine before, but now there is only one explanation for the sudden accident. The underground inland river collapsed somewhere, causing the radioactive material that was originally buried to enter the inland river, and after being washed by the inland river, Arrived at the bottom of the village, and some of them have deep wells, some of them are shallow, and some are directly connected to the public water tower outside the village office, so there are 360 ​​people in the village, and only 200 have problems."

"As for the radiation in the village, I suspect that this radiation source should be caused by the radiation particles brought underground by the inland river. The real radiation source may not be here, but somewhere below Mahua Village. There's a large source of radiation."

Chen Yiming continued to speculate: "The radiation source is the most critical. If it cannot be found, it may continue to pour radiation particles into the inland river for a long time in the future. Now it is Mahua Village. In the future, the surrounding villages may be involved, and the whole town will be in danger."

"Dr. Chen is very reasonable. According to geology, this can indeed happen. After all, inland rivers are the same as rivers on the surface. If there is enough water, they can also be diverted. It is very flexible. If no radiation source is found , in the future our whole Kangnan Town will be in danger."

The technician from the Geological Bureau told the truth.

After hearing this, everyone felt very heavy. It is not easy to find the source of radiation. It is also a very big project for people in a village to go home now.

"Okay, this matter is a bit serious, and we have to report it to the higher authorities. Please ask more professional people to come and check the radiation source. There is no delay here."

Liu Zhentao said.

"This is a bit difficult. As you know, the process in our country is very locked. Even if you report directly and send someone down, it will probably take nearly a week, let alone a week. The villagers in Mahua Village don't go home for three days. They What about the chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, and surrounding crops? Radiation is terrible, but after their crops and poultry are all dead, what will they do next?"

Village head Yang You said truthfully.

Liu Zhentao breathed a sigh of relief, it was indeed similar to what Yang You said.

At this time, Chen Yiming suddenly asked: "Cunnel Chief Yang, please count the approximate branches where the villagers have problems. Those places are more serious, those are less serious, those places are more densely populated, and those places are relatively few."

Yang You nodded, took out a map of their village directly from the briefcase, and then took a signature pen and drew a circle on it.

"After our quick investigation, we found that almost everyone in Xitou Village has problems. It may be because they all drink groundwater there, or it may be other problems. There are more than 30 households in Dongtou Village, and only five households. The problem is relatively minor, and the five households are located near our Zhongzhong Village, and the people who have problems in Nantou and Beitou Villages are similar to our Zhongzhong Village."

Yang You explained.

Chen Yiming looked at the map for a while, and seemed to think of something.

Ge Zhennan's home is in Xitou Village. Ge Ming got lung cancer at the beginning because he picked up a string of beads from outside. Later, Chen Yiming discovered that the string of beads contained radiation.

At that time, Ge Ming explained that there was a mountain called Changqing Mountain half a kilometer away from Xitou Village of Mahua Village. He picked up a string of beads while hunting there.

Could the radiation this time have something to do with the string of beads?

Of course, what Chen Yiming was talking about was not the radiation caused by the string of beads. No matter how high the radiation of a string of beads is, it is impossible to cause radiation in the entire village. Moreover, the groundwater buried tens of meters deep in the ground can cause radiation to existence.

He felt that this string of beads might just be the tip of the iceberg of those radioactive substances.

Judging from Yang You's explanation, it is obvious that the radiation in the west of Mahua Village is stronger, and the further east you go, the weaker you are.

Inland rivers should flow from west to east, just like rivers on the surface of the earth, they also flow from west to east.

Then the source is likely to be to the west.

"Wang Gong, does the underground water also flow from west to east?"

Chen Yiming confirmed.

After all, he is just guessing, and he still has to ask other professionals. Although Chen Yiming was relatively good at geography when he was in high school, he was a master in the end, but it is better to have no books than to have no books. You still have to look at these engineers who often practice. .

Wang Xueliang is an engineer from the Geological Bureau, and he is quite professional.

"Yes, basically this law will not change. After all, the earth rotates from west to east. Because of this law, water also goes east."

Wang Xueliang confirmed.

"Is it possible that the source of radiation is in the west, and then it flows eastward with the groundwater."

Chen Yiming reminded.

"Crack~"

Liu Zhentao slapped his thigh, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Your brother is still smart, that's true. If you look at the distribution map of this patient, isn't it that Xitou Village has the most people, and the further east you go, the less it is?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhang Miao gave Chen Yiming a thumbs up. I didn't expect this guy to be so good in medical skills, and he was also quite good in other aspects.

"This reminds me that not long ago, I saw something at Ge Ming's house in Mahua Village. Because Ge Ming suffered from cancer, I asked me to come over and take a look. I found that Ge Ming, like his wife, also suffered from the same cancer. Suspected that there were dangerous substances in their home, and finally confirmed that it was a string of beads from their home. This bead was left by his wife. Ge Ming also wore it because he missed his wife. Who knows, after wearing it for a few years, he got cancer .”

Chen Yiming continued: "As for this string of beads, he accidentally fell into a hole in the ground while hunting in Changqing Mountain, half a kilometer to the west of Mahua Village. I suspect that there may be other sources of radiation in it."

"There is such a thing."

Liu Zhentao was obviously surprised.

Yang Youdao: "Changqing Mountain is indeed in the west of our village, so it is really possible."

"Why don't we go and have a look?"

Wang Xueliang said.
