Chapter 1640 Is It a Renewable Resource?
"Okay, let's speed up. I want to get it done, get out of the mountain early, and then go home by car." Qin Xue nodded, her heart was as fast as an arrow returning home.
"Okay, that's no problem." The Great Elder didn't say no. He knew early on that they wouldn't stay here for a long time, so he didn't have any other ideas.
Just thinking that the saint was gone and that Ivy was about to leave, he raised his head and glanced at Ivy, and found that she didn't even look at him. The great elder looked at the ground sadly, making one wrong step and one wrong step. It's irreversible.
"Yingying, you said this place is so lush, but I don't know if there are any natural treasures here." Qin Xue looked around. This is really a suitable place for the growth of medicinal materials, but she doesn't know if there are any.
"I don't know." Nangong Beiying had never been to such a forest to collect medicine when she was with her master before, so she didn't quite know whether there would be medicinal materials in such geology. Maybe there would be, but even if there were them, I don’t have time to look for it.
"Well, regardless of whether there is any, this place is isolated from the outside world, and there is no business. Even if there is, it is for their own use, and it is enough for what they need." Qin Xue did not want to collect herbs to sell, but wanted to see if there were any. She wants to transplant new varieties into the space and plant them.
"That's right. It's a pity that such a good resource has been wasted, but there is also a good side. You see, the coal underground has not been developed and mined, and it will not cause ground subsidence. This is also a good side, isn't it? Really?" Nangong Beiying and the others continued walking.
After Qin Xue listened to Nangong Beiying's words, she looked down at the coal exposed in some places on the ground. She thought this was good. Mining meant starting work and contacting the outside world, but people here have lived here for generations. , their minds are very closed, and they may not necessarily be willing, so it is okay for them to provide for themselves. Such a big mountain is enough for them to last ten lifetimes.
Coal mining requires formalities. As long as they are not mining on a large scale for sale, it should be no problem to use some at home.
Although coal can also be said to be a renewable resource, in a sense, renewable resources are also non-renewable resources. Why do we say this? Because their transformation times are different. As we all know, the formation of coal takes hundreds of thousands of years. It is even formed by sedimentation due to hundreds of millions of years of crustal movement.
That is to say, the period for them to form is too long and they reproduce very slowly. Therefore, coal can be said to be a renewable or non-renewable resource, because once it is mined, it will decrease rapidly, but its growth cycle Far from enough to meet human needs.
Therefore, it has become non-regenerative, and whether it is coal mining or coal burning, it is also a very polluting operation, which is extremely harmful to the human body and the environment.
Therefore, many people will get pneumoconiosis when they dig coal, and people with pneumoconiosis need to have their lungs cleaned and receive treatment. Patients with severe pneumoconiosis can only sit and cannot lie down, because as soon as they lie down, they will There will be a lack of oxygen, unable to breathe, and it will be very painful. In the past, there were people in their village who dug coal.
She had seen with her own eyes how those suffering from pneumoconiosis lived, and it was more than miserable. This is one of the reasons why she chooses to be a doctor. She wants to help those who are forced to do these things that are harmful to the body but have to work because of the pressure of life.
I just didn't expect that she would eventually become a surgeon after studying, but she also helped many people in need with the scalpel in her hand.
Although the final choice was different from her original goal, the purpose was still to save people, and it did not violate her original intention. Otherwise, she really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
