Chapter 358 Freifans
“The so-called enrichment effect refers to the fact that certain organisms continuously ingest extremely low concentrations of pollutants from the environment and gradually accumulate them in the body, causing the substances to reach a very high level in the organism and even cause poisoning of other organisms (or people). concentration." In the end, it was Profik who took the initiative himself.
"Amber lead happens to be such a substance, which contains trace amounts of toxic elements. The residents of Frevans have long relied on mining and processing amber lead as their main source of income, and toxins have accumulated in their bodies over time. At the beginning, Zhongdu's The symptoms are not deep, and only a few older people will develop the disease. The later the disease occurs, the younger the age, and the scope becomes wider. Until finally, almost everyone has been suffering from the incurable disease since childhood."
The substance reminded Profik of a material from his past life - asbestos. It also has a wide range of uses, is also rich in benefits, is also extremely pathogenic, and has also brought great harm to people's lives and health. The difference is that the harm caused by asbestos was finally controlled and people's use of asbestos went on the right track, while lead led to the demise of a country.
On the one hand, this is of course because the toxicity of amber lead is even worse than that of asbestos. Not only those who are directly exposed to amber lead will get poisoned, but it can even affect people's reproductive system. This toxicity will
But more importantly, the royal family of Frevanth and the World Government committed an unforgivable sin in the process.
"Wait a minute," Molana's face changed drastically, "You mean, the source of the toxin is lead?"
Molana is no stranger to amber lead products. This material has a wide range of applicability. Not only furniture, paints, but even cosmetics and seasonings can be produced using amber lead as a raw material. At the same time, Perlead products are sold all over the world because of their extremely excellent performance.
She had heard of the amber lead trade when she was working as a "gang leader" in Black Constellation. Just a few days ago, she had a phone call with Heite, who also told her that the trade status of Star Island had been further improved recently. The caravan had reached an agreement with a certain noble in the North Sea and was preparing to participate in the amber lead trade starting next month.
"That's right, so the name of this disease can be said to be 'hit by mistake'."
Lead disease is not a disease caused by lead. It's because white spots as white as amber lead will appear on the face of the sick person.
"I'm going to notify Heite immediately to terminate the trade with the other party!"
Morana rushed into the cabin with a whoosh.
She didn't question Profik's words at all. In their view, Profic was the owner of the domineering "Apocalypse" with special knowledge, and it was normal to know some things that were unknown to outsiders. What's more, all the information Profik has given so far is correct.
Morana appeared on the deck again with a gloomy face and a very bad mood.
Although Heit became the king, he still obeyed Morana very much. She ordered the Star Kingdom to cut off all amber trade. But this only made her even more unhappy.
"The businessmen opposite insisted that amber lead is safe and will never cause disease. They even said that the Kingdom of Frevans and the World Government had specifically investigated the issue of amber lead and concluded that this material is very safe. …”
Morana looked very disappointed. She was much more mature than when she first went to sea. After hearing what the other person said, she immediately realized that the problem of lead disease was far more complicated than it seemed.
"Boss," Li Tong said, "You are Shichibukai. Report to the government officials and let them reveal the truth about the amber lead disease! As long as the mining of amber lead is stopped, things will get better!"
Li Tong's thinking is simple. The Shichibukai is a big shot that can be compared with the Navy Headquarters. As long as he comes forward, he will definitely solve the problem.
"I'm afraid not. Since the world government has sent people to investigate, they must know the truth about the amber lead disease. The reason why they concealed this matter is because the amber lead industry trade is rich. The Celestial Dragons can get heavenly gold, and the government gets tax revenue. The nobles are full of money, and what will happen to those who are sick is not their concern."
"Is the world government like this too?"
What Li Tong calls "ye" is compared with the country of Wazhi.
"Compared with the World Government, Orochi is more competent. After all, even if Frevans is destroyed, it has nothing to do with Mariejoia." Profik sneered, "If the World Government is a good thing, the sea There won’t be pirates everywhere anymore.”
"Nowadays, no one will believe it if it is clarified in the newspaper. Moreover, even if you believe it, it is too late. The lead disease and the fear it brings have already spread." Star took a newspaper and said with a solemn expression, "Today The newspaper said that Freifans’ neighboring countries have sent more troops to the border and war may break out at any time!”
"Is there no other way?" Morana's voice trembled slightly. She had just learned about Freifans' situation from Heite. It was a big country with millions of people. Once such a country was destroyed, people would die because of it. I'm afraid it's hard to beat the people.
Nowadays, I am afraid that only Profik can do something about it.
Sure enough, Profik said: "There is not a way out, I have a plan. If everything goes well, we can control Freifans and prevent the outbreak of war. Then we can summon famous doctors from all over the world to find a way to defeat the lead." The way of the disease. If you are lucky enough, you may be able to save some of the citizens of Freifans."
"really?"
Profik nodded, but his heart was not as sure as he seemed at all.
There was no good way to deal with the chronic poisoning of heavy metals caused by the enrichment phenomenon, even in the previous life, and lead poisoning was more severe than heavy metals at first glance. Not to mention in the world of One Piece where medical development is uneven and the overall level is questionable. There are also many doctors who have studied lead disease, Luo's parents are one of them, but there has never been a reasonable solution.
The only known case of someone who survived being infected with aphrodisiac is Luo, who cured himself of the disease by relying on the fruits of surgery.
If there is no other way, Profic may have to rely on his Devil Fruit ability.
"However, this plan is not foolproof. I don't know to what extent the world government is involved in this matter. If we are not careful, the relationship between us and the government may break down. If we want to fight with the world for this, The government is at odds with each other, how do you choose?”
"I heard that, 'There is no one who is more kind than a lover.' If you have to make a choice, of course you have to do it to the end!"
