Chapter 202: Learn To Copy The Answers! Chu Ping: Is This Stone Tablet Really This Awesome?
County.
Chen Kai was checking the ancient city area project.
The road entrance here had already been sealed off, and in order to ensure the antique charm, after a meeting, the county leaders ruthlessly decided to rebuild the roads inside the city area.
Now the asphalt road had been removed, and the bluestone road was being rebuilt, with work rushing day and night.
Precisely because of this, the county now only hoped that the Chen Clan side could remain stable and not have any incidents.
The county was counting on the Chen Clan.
Once the bluestone road was completed, this area would be closed to cars, imitating those ancient cities, minimizing modern elements and maintaining a simple and unadorned style.
Naturally, by then there would be projects like carrying sedan chairs.
Tourists could ride in sedan chairs.
This was also a project proposed in culture and tourism meetings.
At that time, jobs could be created, and he believed many tourists would want to ride.
They just needed to guard against some saintly mothers online posting videos condemning tourists for riding sedan chairs and talking about human rights and such issues.
In any case, as long as the chair carriers were willing, tourists were willing, and the authorities were willing, if those saintly mothers were unhappy, so be it.
Things like this had happened online many times. Once those people stirred things up, many tourists who originally wanted to ride would hesitate and not dare.
The income of those who worked hard would decrease, and then those saintly mothers would be as happy as victorious generals.
“Director Chen, how is my renovation?” a middle-aged man greeted Chen Kai with a fawning smile in front of a shop.
He could see that the shopfront had already been fitted with a wooden upper facade, with a sign hanging outside that read “Entertainment and Singing”.
It was a KTV.
Since they were building an ancient city area, they naturally had to consider such modern entertainment venues; otherwise, with all the antique-style buildings, a sudden garishly colorful, neon-flashing KTV advertising board would be very jarring.
These people were well-informed and had immediately carried out renovation. Now, from the outside, this KTV simply looked like an entertainment house from ancient times.
The middle-aged man continued, “When the ancient city area opens, we will have the staff wear Hanfu to work and receive tourists who come in to sing.”
Chen Kai was not someone who nitpicked for no reason. The other party’s attitude was proper and cooperative with the renovation, and having a KTV in the ancient city area also had its benefits.
After all, tourists needed entertainment when they came.
This kind of entertainment and singing might even be popular among tourists.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly received a telephone call. Seeing the number, he answered immediately.
It was from the people he had sent to the Chen Clan, so it definitely was a matter to report.
Regarding the Chen Clan, he naturally would not neglect it.
He answered and asked, “Hello, what is it?”
A report came immediately from the other end. “Director Chen, the air quality detector we brought seems to be broken. When we measured outside Shangyuan Village, the AQI value was 35, and once we entered Shangyuan Village it was 31, which is about the same as our overall data for Linhe County.”
“But as soon as we went into the Chen Clan, the AQI values everywhere became That is simply impossible. Across the whole country, only a few officially recorded places have air quality AQI values that reach ”
“During the previous large-scale monitoring in Linhe County, we did not have such values anywhere.”
Chen Kai was clearly stunned. Previously, Linhe County had indeed conducted a major air quality monitoring.
Mainly, with leisure vacations and aerobic tourism on the rise, many places with good air quality were promoting themselves under the banner of aerobic tourism, scrambling to develop.
Especially those places where air quality AQI values reached 20, all promoting themselves as natural oxygen bars and attracting countless tourists.
“Not just cities, but the grand living room of nature itself,” “oxygen bar city, making breathing an enjoyment,” such slogans, once heard, made many people yearn for them.
Linhe County had also once carried out a somewhat wildly imaginative investigation into whether they could improve air quality and ride the trend, because they truly had nothing else impressive; enjoying tourism dividends was the quickest method.
But in the end, the investigation concluded that, in the city and even across the province, due to meteorological reasons, the horizontal wind speed was extremely low, which was not conducive to the dispersion of pollutants; the regional transmission of pollutants was line-shaped, and with the effect of the northeast wind, they were easily affected by pollutants from upwind cities, causing major impacts on air quality and making improvement extremely difficult.
The main issue was factory production and large pollutant emissions. The whole province was developing the economy, building factories, concentrating population and industries, and there were nearly 20 large coal-fired power plants, with very high nitrogen oxides and other pollutant emissions from mobile traffic sources.
Simply put, those natural oxygen bars had nothing to do with them.
Wanting to improve air quality was wishful thinking.
Now, many places in the province could still maintain air AQI values below 50 only thanks to the vast mountain forests across the province.
And what had he just heard?
The Chen Clan’s air AQI had actually reached 20?
That was already at the level of a natural oxygen bar.
No wonder he and County Magistrate Chu could clearly feel the fresh air and smooth breathing over at the Chen Clan.
He subconsciously thought again of the stone tablet erected by the Chen Family Head.
Dust Removal Formation.
The words dust removal seemed far more consistent with fresh air.
Perhaps that was the main effect of the stone tablet; the miraculous overnight blooming was instead a secondary effect.
Thinking of this, he hastily said into the mobile phone, “Don’t be so quick to conclude the instrument is broken. Can’t you feel with your own breathing whether the air is good or not? Take the instrument back out of the Chen Clan to test again, then report.”
He felt some of his subordinates were really not very sharp.
But what could he do? They said they passed the exams, but most of those who came in were not the top scorers. After all, sometimes they also emphasized comprehensive ability evaluations.
Even if your grades were the best and your abilities strongest, your overall comprehensive assessment might still fall short.
However, now that he had received this news, he was extremely excited.
As long as it was confirmed, he would immediately report to County Magistrate Chu. He believed County Magistrate Chu would also be very excited to hear it.
Chen Clan.
The two people from culture and tourism also understood now. The air in the Chen Clan really was fresher than outside; you could feel it when you breathed.
They immediately, somewhat awkwardly, took the instrument and walked outside the Chen Clan.
They really should not have overlooked that they could verify it this way and had needed the leader to instruct them.
As he watched the two from culture and tourism hurry away, Liao Shuang, who happened to hear their call, was also very surprised. “The air quality here in the Chen Clan is indeed better than outside, even more comfortable than that oxygen-supplemented resort village in Bobo.”
Liu Ye said with a smile, “The Chen Clan did not have such good air quality yesterday. I have been living here and know clearly that it only became like this after last night, at the same time as those flowers bloomed overnight.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the stone tablet in the Qionghua Tree Forest. “Everything happened after that stone tablet was erected, but people online all believe Professor Liu’s popular science explanation.”
“Not everyone has the fate to witness true mysterious phenomena. For some people, even when such miraculous things are right in front of them, they still miss them.”
These words made Liao Shuang look at the stone tablet in disbelief.
Could such a stone tablet really cause this kind of change?
Not only making the Chen Clan’s flowers bloom overnight, but also changing the air quality here?
How miraculous was that? It was already beyond common understanding.
Looking at Liao Shuang, Liu Ye said again, “You were originally fortunate and blessed, able, like me, to receive the blessing before the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation and cure the disease that has been tormenting you. But now you will need to show greater sincerity.”
Hearing this, Liao Shuang could not help sighing.
It was all caused by the assistant her father sent. If not for that extra sentence from him, she would already be receiving treatment from the Chen Family Head.
This time, once the company’s investigation found the problem, she would definitely kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.
However, she had already thought of a way to show greater sincerity. She could follow the example of this Uncle Liu.
He had already given her the answer template.
If she still could not manage that, she might as well find a block of tofu and smash herself to death on it.
The two people from culture and tourism had already brought the instrument into Shangyuan Village.
They found that the instrument now showed an air AQI value of
They were stunned.
They went out of Shangyuan Village for some distance.
The value became
In other words, the detector really was not broken; it was just that the Chen Clan’s air quality was too good.
This made them want to slap themselves. The leader had sent them to the Chen Clan to test, clearly because he had noticed how good the air was there.
They themselves could clearly feel it while breathing, yet they had called the leader saying the instrument was broken.
Terrible. The leader would definitely think they were stupid.
The two dared not delay. They immediately started using the instrument for a thorough and serious inspection, even walking from Shangyuan toward the Chen Clan, recording the values at intervals, hoping that by working harder they could salvage their image in their report.
Moreover, through this testing, they really discovered a pattern: the closer they got to the Chen Clan, the lower the AQI value measured by the instrument.
30-28-26-..
Until it reached a value of 20 within the Chen Clan’s area.
That meant that the closer they got to the Chen Clan, the better the air quality.
This discovery made them enthusiastically conduct another round of tests.
This time, they found something even more incredible.
At places close to the Chen Clan, at the same positions, the values were now even lower than in the previous test.
When they entered the Chen Clan, they even found that the AQI value for air quality there had dropped to
This…
They felt they had discovered something extraordinary.
The Chen Clan’s air quality was still continuing to improve?
Crucially, it was not only the Chen Clan itself. It seemed this air quality was also influencing the outside, making the air around the Chen Clan better and better.
If so, that would truly be astonishing.
One of them hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called the leader.
This discovery should be enough to restore their image, right?
Linhe County.
Chen Kai had long been waiting for his subordinates’ report. The moment he received the call, he immediately answered and asked, “How is it?”
An urgent report came. “Director Chen, it is incredible. The Chen Clan’s air quality has improved even further. It was 20 before, but after we carefully tested twice, it became ”
“Not only that, this level of air quality at the Chen Clan is affecting the outside. The closer to the Chen Clan, the better the air quality. With two rounds of detailed testing just now, we found that the air quality at the same locations outside the Chen Clan has dropped in value at two spots.”
‘What?” Hearing this report, Chen Kai looked shocked and subconsciously asked, “Do you know the range?”
On the other end, the reply was awkward. “Director Chen, we only have one detector. We simply cannot determine the full range. And the values are still dropping. It is possible that Shangyuan Village will also be affected, maybe even a wider area.”
Hearing this, Chen Kai did not hesitate at all. He hung up and hurried to the county offices.
This good news would absolutely make County Magistrate Chu very happy.
Moreover, the situation at the Chen Clan had to be thoroughly tested as soon as possible.
If, after the Chen Family Head erected the tablet, this phenomenon really could affect the area outside the Chen Clan, then as long as the range was large enough, it would be a major upgrade to tourism resources and quality.
For example, if it could affect Shangyuan Village so that it too reached a value of 20, then Shangyuan Village would be an oxygen bar village.
For example, that Liu Dong had also contracted mountains not far from the Chen Clan to build a high-end resort villa. If the air quality could also extend to there, then once Liu Dong’s resort villa was built, its grade could be raised another level.
At that time, it would certainly attract many high-end tourists. If they could seize the opportunity, how great would the benefits be for the Chen Clan in terms of investment promotion?
He had never imagined that the stone tablet dug up by the road construction team would have such miraculous abilities.
In the county, Chu Ping was still quite busy. When he saw Chen Kai rushing over, he was just about to hold a small discussion meeting.
“What is it, why so urgent?” Chu Ping looked at Chen Kai and asked, “Is something wrong at the Chen Clan?”
Chen Kai nodded. “It is about that stone tablet. The people testing the air quality reported that the air quality at the Chen Clan…”
He then reported everything in detail.
After hearing the whole story, Chu Ping directly called his secretary and instructed, “Postpone the meeting to tomorrow morning.”
Compared with the Chen Clan matter, that small discussion meeting was clearly not very important. He understood even better than Chen Kai what it would mean if that level of air quality could spread beyond the Chen Clan.
“Let’s go to the Chen Clan. Tell them to bring instruments,” Chu Ping ordered, hurrying out.
“I already made arrangements on my way here,” Chen Kai replied as he followed, knowing this leader would react like this.
It was their second trip to the Chen Clan today. There was no helping it; the new discovery was too incredible. At this point, they would not believe it if this situation had nothing to do with the stone tablet they had dug up.
They soon arrived at the Chen Clan again, along with the people bringing the new instruments.
Chen Kai immediately called over the previous two testers and had them all start measuring.
Chu Ping and he even personally watched one detector’s readings, and when they tested, they indeed found that, although the air quality around the Chen Clan was not as good as inside, it was also slowly improving.
Seeing this, they did not hesitate and directly ordered the team to expand the range of data collection.
By around dusk, a computer was placed in front of Chu Ping and Chen Kai, displaying densely packed data.
It was clear that, as time passed, the air quality values around the Chen Clan were decreasing. By dusk, the AQI value in Shangyuan Village had already dropped to
That already surpassed all other places in Linhe County.
Even outside Shangyuan Village, the AQI value had dropped from 35 to
The affected range seemed quite large.
After reading the data, Chu Ping and Chen Kai looked at each other; they really wanted to bring in the Chen Family Head and ask him to explain how to believe in science now.
But that was only a thought. They were public officials; if the other side said “believe in science,” they had to say yes, yes, of course.
Just then, Chu Ping received a call from the investment promotion department. After he answered and listened to the report, he asked in surprise, “Another tycoon wants to acquire and integrate industries in our Linhe County and donate them to the Chen Clan as a merit industry?”
Chen Kai instinctively looked over.
