    I sincerely ask for a recommendation vote.  ****

    Qin Shiou started checking the news while holding his iPad. Butler introduced himself: "You don't need to read the reports. Let me introduce it to you. I was in Tokyo at the time and I knew much better than these bastard media."

    "You tell me, I'm listening." Qin Shiou said casually while searching for news.

    "As Butler said, the Port of Tokyo collapsed. After a year of brewing, the mutant shipworms finally showed their power.

    The Tokyo Bay port group was built very early. Due to the reasonable division of functions of the Japanese port group, six world-class large ports are gathered in the narrow harbor, namely Tokyo Port, Chiba Port, Kawasaki Port, Yokohama Port, and Kisarazu Port.  , Yokosuka Port.

    These ports are connected end to end, stretching for hundreds of miles, and are responsible for shipping in the entire central Japan.

    The Tokyo Bay area has been the core area of ??Japan's economy and politics for hundreds of years. Since the Warring States Period, ports have been developed, so the docks here were built very early. Most of them are made of wood and stone as raw materials, and there are very few steel docks.

    This is normal, and the same is true in Canada. Steel piers are not useful. Corrosion from seawater and attacks by anaerobic bacteria can turn a steel pier into ruins within ten years. It is not as practical as wood and stone.

    But this time the Tokyo Bay port group suffered a practical loss. It happened half a month ago. First, a wooden pier in Tokyo Bay collapsed. Then the waves caused by the collapse caused the collapse of another pier. Two people in one day.  The piers collapsed one after another.

    The inspection results came out quickly, which was that the main timbers of the two docks were completely destroyed by shipworms. From the outside, they looked like nothing, but inside they were densely packed with shipworm nests.

    Therefore, Tokyo Port took the lead in closing for inspection and maintenance. This is not important. There are still five ports available in such a small place as Tokyo Bay. The shipping pressure can be reasonably distributed to the other five ports.

    Sadly, when the staff responsible for port inspections conducted spot checks on the other five major ports, they found that a large number of shipworms were also found in the docks in these places!

    Now the Japanese government, from the center to the coast of Tokyo Bay, is panicking. The Tokyo Bay port group is of great significance to this country!

    From a geographical point of view, the Tokyo Bay Port Group is located in the southern bay of Honshu Island, Japan, surrounded by Boso and Miura peninsulas, and connected to the Pacific Ocean by the Uraga Waterway.

    ¡°That is to say, as long as the bay is opened, goods transported from the Pacific can directly enter Tokyo, Kawasaki and other places. Once it is closed, it will have to travel long distances on land from Fujisawa or Ohara to enter.

    According to data from Qin Shioucha, in the past year, the throughput capacity of the entire port group has reached 550 billion tons, which is second to none in the world and is the lifeline of the entire central Japan.

    From an economic perspective, the Tokyo Bay coast where the port group is located has two major industrial zones, Keihin and Keiyo.  The Keihin Industrial Belt on the west coast of Tokyo Bay includes Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kawasaki. There are more than 200 large factories and enterprises stationed on the 5-kilometer-wide and 60-kilometer-long coastline, such as Nissan Motor, Ishikawa Shipbuilding, Nippon Steel Pipe, Nippon Oil and Mitsubishi  Heavy industry and other multinational companies.

    In the Keiyo Industrial Belt on the east side of Tokyo Bay, there are 2 large steel plants, 2 large oil refineries, 4 petrochemical plants and Mitsui Shipbuilding, making Tokyo Bay the largest heavy industry and chemical industry in Japan.  Industrial Base.

    Once the Tokyo Bay port group is closed, daily losses will be calculated in tens of billions of dollars!

    "If the tragedy of the Maine Bulldog hadn't attracted the attention of people in the United States and Canada, the closure of the Tokyo Bay port group would still dominate the headlines.

    Now the whole of Japan is in a nationwide rush to repair the Tokyo Bay port group. The Prime Minister and more than half of the cabinet members have moved their offices directly to the port, dispatched the best construction team in the country to carry out repairs, and the best marine parasite experts to deal with shipworms.

    At this time, Qin Shiou realized the power of his Poseidon Heart. The vitality and reproduction ability of these strengthened shipworms had reached a level that frightened the experts. Japan itself could no longer handle them and invited excellent relevant experts from all over the world.  Go and deal with it.

    At first, the Japanese government used conventional methods to deal with these shipworms, using high pressure to inject chemicals into the wood to kill them.  But this is useless. These shipworms are very resistant to poison, and chemicals must reach extremely high concentrations to kill them.

    At last, the Japanese used cca, which is recognized as the most effective drug in the world against shipworms. This is the last resort to kill one thousand enemies and only lose eight hundred, because the main components of cca are wood tar, chromate and copper arsenate, which can  Protecting wood can kill shipworms, but it can also pollute the marine environment.

      The Japanese government no longer cares about protecting the ecological environment of Tokyo Bay. Now it only needs to get rid of these shipworms and restore the normal operation of the port group. Sadly, this will not work. The CCA was effective in the initial stage and killed a batch of  Shipworms, they quickly developed a resistance

    After this incident, not only the Japanese government was afraid, but other countries were also afraid, and they all interrupted maritime trade with the Tokyo Bay port group.

    The Japanese government is also aboveboard. After discovering the horror of this kind of shipworm, they sealed off the ships in the port group. All the timber ships were chopped and burned to ensure that the super-strong shipworm would not escape from Tokyo Bay and spread.

    Fortunately, there are very few wooden ships these days. The Tokyo Bay port group is an industrial port area, and all the giant steel ships that come and go are thousands of tons or even more than 10,000 tons. This limits the spread of new shipworms.

    European media also gave these shipworms a name. Because they are as long and tough as whips, they were named "Whips of God", which means that this thing is used by God to punish humans.

    The name Whip of God has only appeared twice in European history. The first time was given to the murderous Hun King Attila, the second time was to the Mongolian cavalry under Kublai Khan, and now the third time  Appeared for the first time and gave a group of small sea creatures.

    After reading the introduction, Qin Shiou was amazed: "These shipworms are really scary."

    Uncle Hei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "The Japanese are so unfortunate. They have suffered huge losses this time. The port group is still closed. I don't know when it will be opened."

    Qin Shiou shrugged and said: "I can only wish God to bless them, and hope he can take back the whip soon. Let's go, we should get ready to eat."

    For dinner, we had steamed sausages, but Butler couldn¡¯t eat them because he thought the seasonings in the sausages were too strong and harmful to his health.

    Qin Shiou ate it with gusto, and the sausage stuffed with local pork was more fragrant and chewy. As for its impact on health?  He felt that the seasoning was much greener than the big dick, and Butler was afraid of affecting his health when he smoked the big dick.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
