Chapter 198: This should barely be considered a superpower, right?
The outbreak of Minamata disease in Japan quickly spread all over the world and naturally reached China. Jiang Hao opened his mobile phone and saw this message. His first idea was that the animal genetic agent he had put on had been spread.
Countries also attach great importance to this matter and have warned their own citizens that they should not eat whale meat or dolphin meat when traveling to Japan, as it may cause serious diseases.
Countries have once again raised serious questions about the safety of Japanese seafood. You should know that in addition to eating them themselves, some of Japan's whale meat is also exported. After this situation broke out, local Japanese shopping malls removed whale meat from the shelves, and even whale meat exported to other countries was ordered to be sealed.
Not only whale meat has also affected other Japanese seafood products, causing the sales of Japanese seafood to plummet, greatly affecting the export of Japanese seafood.
These are a series of chain reactions.
One day later, another news broke out.
Norway, Iceland and South Korea also experienced Minamata disease patients. They also syncope caused by eating dolphin meat. After testing, they found that the organic mercury exceeded the standard.
Norway and Iceland are also whaling countries, and have a tradition of eating whale meat and dolphin meat, but it is much less than Japan.
As for South Korea, it was purely a blame. The place where the accident happened was a Japanese restaurant, which contained whale meat and fresh dolphin meat airlifted from Japan. At that time, the Japanese news had not yet broken out, and the restaurant was still selling dolphin meat to the public.
This has attracted the attention of all countries around the world. Strict orders have been issued at home to strictly investigate the recently imported Japanese seafood. As long as there are unqualified areas, all of them will be returned or destroyed. From now on, the strictest inspection will be implemented on the import of Japanese seafood.
The government will not force you to stop importing, but you can use strict management measures to make merchants afraid to import.
In just a short period of time, Japan suffered major economic losses due to the dolphin meat incident, and the seafood industry, as the pillar of Japan's economy, suffered a severe blow.
A few days later, the largest marine biology research institute in Europe published a survey report, which was broadcast in the news by most countries in the world.
The report mentioned that they tested dozens of dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and even the Inner Sea. The test results were worrying. There are 32 species of sea capybara and 5 species of freshwater barbarians in the world, and 8 of them have super accumulation of organic mercury in their bodies.
Scientific experiments have confirmed that the safe concentration of mercury in the human blood is 1 microgram/10 ml. When it reaches 5-10 microgram/10 ml, obvious symptoms of poisoning will appear. A person consumes no more than 200 grams of fish with a mercury content of 0.5 mg/kg per day, and the amount of intake is within the safe range. However, the organic mercury content in these dolphins is as high as a few hundred mg/kg, which is 500-2000 times the edible amount of the human body, which is much higher than the safety standards.
However, a strange phenomenon was also mentioned in the report, that is, these dolphins were eaten by other marine organisms after their death, and there was no mercury poisoning outbreaks, and there was no accumulation of mercury.
Dolphins are the top of the food chain in the ocean. There are very few animals that can kill dolphins, so they should not cause pollution to marine species.
As soon as this report was released, it completely confirmed the situation in Japan before and made people worry a little.
However, this news is devastating to the fishermen who catch dolphins. They can no longer make a living by catching dolphins, because people all over the world no longer eat dolphin meat.
The sun was good today, and the birds were chirping on the branches. Jiang Hao suddenly thought of his 'animal communication skills', opened the window and opened his hands, and said to the sparrow in the distance: "Come here...Come here...Come here..."
Jiang Hao's ability was activated, and soon attracted the attention of those sparrows.
Flutter ~~,
A sparrow flew to Jiang Hao's windowsill, stood in the distance, tilted his head and looked at Jiang Hao, with his little claws jumping and flying away at any time. You know, the sparrow is a very timid animal.
Jiang Hao waved at it again, "Come here."
Maybe it was because the animal's communication ability was too attractive, and the little sparrow actually flew to Jiang Hao's hand, and a smile appeared on Jiang Hao's face.
I can barely have superpowers.
Although it's a bit useless.
He stroked the sparrow's body with his fingers, and he could already feel the sparrow's thoughts in his mind. He was curious, afraid that he would still want to get close to him.
Maybe the sparrow has a low IQ, so he can only feel these things. Unlike the dolphin before, two people can have simple communication, just like communicating with a three or four-year-old child.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you..." Jiang Hao sent a message to the sparrow in his hand.
"Zhazha"
The little sparrow felt Jiang Hao's heart and immediately became cheerful. She beat twice in Jiang Hao's hand, and she was still chirping in her mouth.
Is this the ability of "animal communication skills"? It's really good. Jiang Hao thinks that he should try it more and see what the communication reactions of other animals are. Where in the city there are many animals, it is naturally the flower, bird, fish and insect market.
Jiang Hao said to the sparrow in his hand, "Okay, go and play by yourself." As he raised his hand, the little sparrow flapped its wings and flew back to the branch in the distance.
There is a large flower, bird, fish and insect market in Binhai City. When you walk in, it starts with a flower area, and all kinds of flowers are very beautiful. Inside is the ornamental fish area, which contains various freshwater fish, seawater fish and rare fish.
Jiang Hao is not interested in raising fish.
In the world of "The Rest of the Desert Island", the sea is his fish tank. He has seen too many beautiful fish. At that time, Jiang Hao's idea was whether it could be eaten or not.
The ones selling fish are amphibian and reptile pets. Jiang Hao skipped directly and came to the cat and dog area.
The cat and dog felt very sensitive. Jiang Hao squatted in front of a cage, and immediately several puppies surrounded him. Jiang Hao pointed to one of them and asked, "Boss, what kind of dog is this."
"Golden Retriever."
"Let me see?"
"Look at it casually."
Jiang Hao picked up the little golden retriever. The puppy was very honest in his hand. It was probably only two months old. Jiang Hao stroked his head with his hand and immediately felt the puppy's intentions.
"I want to eat, I miss my mother."
This time my feeling is much clearer than that sparrow. It seems that brain capacity and thinking patterns are the key to communication. Maybe he and a gorilla can communicate normally like humans.
Putting down the golden retriever, Jiang Hao saw a chubby guy lying there and asked, "Boss, is this a Sharpie dog?"
“Yes, Shapi.”
Jiang Hao picked up this little guy, and the little guy looked at Jiang Hao with his small eyes. The message Jiang Hao got was, "Unhappy, unhappy."
Jiang Hao almost started to laugh.
He put down Shapi Jianghao and looked at the other one. He knew without asking about this. It was so famous. Is Erha? He picked up Erha, and the puppy Halaha was breathing, looking very excited.
This time Jiang Hao got the message, "Eat meals, fight."
If conditions permit, Jiang Hao really wants to raise one or two dogs, but unfortunately, he lives in the city and it is inconvenient to raise large dogs.
As for cats, Jiang Hao doesn't like them very much.
Continue walking in, Jiang Hao comes to the bird area.
