Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 2080: Chapter 1902: Nationwide Pilot Program

“Amazing, my motherland!”

“Great indeed.”

“This money was well spent.”

“…”

Online, there’s a wave of praise, and it quickly became the headlines. As the saying goes: Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you cannot wash yourself clean. Standing at the Hukou Waterfall, watching the rushing sandy river, this phrase inevitably comes to mind.

Thoughts in mind:

— Indeed, with so much sand, no matter how clean, jumping in would only bring more sand out, it’s impossible to wash clean in the Yellow River. Suddenly, this phrase becomes tangible.

In the future.

The sandy river turns into a clear river.

Great.

Wonderful indeed.

“Let’s visit the Hukou again in three years.”

This proposal.

Received countless responses. Such attractions, truth be told, rarely have people visiting a second time. Now, with this historically significant change, many want to witness it with their own eyes.

Furthermore.

Many feel they will soon not see the sandy river and should rush to see it before it’s cleaned. For a time, it sparked a Golden Week travel boom to see the waterfall.

Suddenly.

The locals were delighted.

First.

Tourism revenue.

Second.

The money for restoration doesn’t come from locals; it’s a national responsibility.

Happiness!

…

Beijing.

Related departments.

The discussion about the Yellow River hasn’t ended.

“The oasis is only for managing soil and water loss. To completely solve the water quality issues throughout the Yellow River basin, I think we should start focusing on the pollution sources along the river for centralized and scientific treatment.”

“Management.”

“Source control.”

“Both ends. Real-time monitoring of water quality throughout the basin. The three-day experiment conducted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences has shown that all known polluted water qualities can be perfectly cleaned.”

Three days ago.

Just announced.

The Myanmar Environmental Technology Company contacted us, and in three days, experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences continually experimented, creating various degrees of polluted water to test the limits of the water purifier, but were left helpless.

First.

The limits weren’t reached; it seemed there was nothing it couldn’t handle.

Second.

The production cost is high.

Furthermore.

The Myanmar Environmental Technology Company provided the entire chemical composition of the water purifier. Yet, after a round of testing, like the filtering solution, achieving the same effect costs more than eighty times.

At that moment.

Disappointment.

Speechless.

Even dinner lost its flavor.

“Agree.”

“Approve.”

“We can use the Yellow River banks as a pilot area, conduct strict investigations of the enterprises along the banks while purifying the current river water and monitor the results in real-time.”

Sewage secretly discharged into the Yellow River.

In earlier years.

It was rampant.

In recent years.

Strengthened management has shown significant effects, but as they say, the higher the law, the craftier the outlaw. Secret discharges become increasingly covert, often unchecked, even driving long distances without pipelines.

“A complete shutdown isn’t suitable.”

“Therefore.”

“Supporting wastewater treatment needs to be done. In cities and industrial areas along the banks, centralized wastewater treatment plants can be constructed, with financial subsidies for sewage treatment.”

After all.

Having all polluting enterprises rebuild their wastewater treatment systems.

Difficult!

However.

Building a pipeline to send sewage to treatment plants.

Easy!

Even if the cost is the same, the latter is more acceptable. This way, there’s no need to inspect each industrial sewage treatment system, avoiding the submission of numerous business documents and reports.

Theoretically.

It also lessens the operational burden on businesses.

In the future.

All that needs checking is whether there are illegal discharges. Businesses find it easier, and so do the local environmental protection departments. As for those keen on saving costs and polluting the land, rivers, and groundwater sources,

No further words needed.

Severe punishment.

“For now, the discharge of domestic sewage can be temporarily delayed, as its natural degradation ability is strong. The most crucial problem is industrial sewage, which is hard to degrade, difficult to eliminate, and seeps underground to pollute water sources.”

“…”

Several hours later, the discussion ended.

The next day.

In the morning.

A report.

Was submitted by the national environmental protection department.

The higher authorities ordered.

A deadline for creating a plan, to be implemented alongside the oasis’s restoration of the Yellow River banks. That’s why it was so quick.

No way around it.

The water purifier appeared just three days prior, and the resolution for the Yellow River cleanup was issued, so it’s all being done together. After all, these are long-term tasks; it wouldn’t be fully applied without two or three years.

Soon.

The research was approved.

Issued.

…

Along the main and tributary banks of the Yellow River.

Each province.

Relevant enterprises quickly received the news.

“So soon?”

“Time to pay again.”

Some enterprises lamented.

The fear.

Is not about paying, but because it’s very costly.

However.

Someone offered comfort.

“Not necessarily. It depends on the specific document notice. It’s currently just a guidance document. From the treatment plant’s site selection, design, construction, and operation, budget estimation, at least a year, it’s not yet certain.”

“Sigh!”

“If it’s costlier, life will be tough.”

“Indeed.”

“I heard they’ll use Myanmar’s processing technology, which significantly reduces the cost while increasing operational capacity, making treatment plant costs not so high.”

“That’s good.”

“Hope so.”

“As long as it’s not too outrageous, I can accept it.”

“Mm.”

“…”

In recent years, environmental protection expenses have been rising, so for most enterprises, unless it’s excessively high, giving money to the treatment plant seems like a good thing.

In the future.

No need to prepare a multitude of documents.

Direct discharge.

Relatively speaking, it’s still something to be glad about, reducing many administrative costs, and the administrative fees saved might just cover the wastewater treatment fees—benefits aplenty.

When the environmental protection comes to check.

I just need to prove one thing: all the wastewater went to the treatment plant.

Not a drop was leaked.

Furthermore.

No need for any more documents.

Yes.

Looking forward to it.

Of course.

Some aren’t happy.

Why do I have to pay more money for illegally discharging with my capabilities? No one paid attention to this group. These companies’ product quality was already questionable, and if caught, strict measures would be taken.

…

March 18th.

Morning.

An official survey team arrived in Yangon, with ambassador Sun Jiang going as well. If all goes smoothly, they will bring back the first large order: 10,000 monitoring devices at 10,000 each.

Looking at the two objectives.

Management.

Regulation.

The latter can progress much faster than the former.

“This is our three-type basin monitoring equipment, capable of providing real-time water quality monitoring services at depths of up to twenty meters. In Beijing, you can fully monitor the Yellow River in real-time.”

“Eighteen key metrics detection.”

“Over-limit alarms.”

“Data analysis.”

“Stable transmission.”

“Easy to recover.”

“…”

While introducing.

They watched the large screen there, displaying the Irrawaddy River, Myanmar’s largest river, over two thousand kilometers long, flowing from Huaxia, directly traversing north and south of Myanmar, and entering the sea.

A round of operations.

Indeed.

It was possible to see the water quality along the river, with various curves and listings, meaning that by deploying these things, it could immediately provide real-time water quality monitoring for the Yellow River basin.

It must be admitted, this technology is impressive.

“Did you manufacture independently?” the delegation leader asked.

“No.”

“The core technical issues for monitoring device equipment were solved by scientists in Huaxia. As for production and manufacturing, given our basic national conditions, all this equipment is made in China.”

“Good.”

Even Sun Jiang couldn’t help but mentally applaud.
