Chapter 240 The Spirit Bird Appears
"Through these efforts, we have seen a gradual improvement in air quality. Several cities that were once plagued by severe smog now have 50 more days of blue skies than the previous year. River water quality has also improved significantly. The habitats of many endangered species have been restored and protected, and their populations are beginning to steadily recover."
Nan Qiao paused for a moment, scanning the entire audience with a determined gaze, and continued, "And now, we have found a more efficient environmental governance solution."
"This breakthrough will provide new ideas and directions for global environmental governance."
Then, she gently raised her hand, and a spirit bird flew over from backstage.
She released the spirit bird from the storage bag before she came over.
As soon as the spirit bird flew out, everyone looked at it in amazement.
"Why are there birds in the venue?"
"This bird looks a little strange. Is it a sparrow or something else?"
“Is there any connection between this bird and environmental governance?”
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and curiosity.
Nan Qiao raised her chin slightly, her expression calm and confident. She spoke in a clear and powerful voice, "Everyone, this spirit bird is no ordinary bird. It is a rare and exotic animal from our Flower Country, and it is recorded in the ancient Classic of Mountains and Seas."
"It is born with a very special and magical ability - purification."
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience suddenly exploded like a pot of boiling water.
An official from the Water Nation was the first to speak out. He frowned and said with disdain, "This is sheer nonsense. We live in an age of highly advanced science and technology. How could something like this exist that only exists in myths and legends?"
"Could it be that you, the Flower Country, are trying to be mysterious and attract attention?"
Nan Qiao's lips curled up into a faint sneer, and she responded bluntly, "Believe it or not, it's your freedom. But facts speak louder than words. I will now show you the magic of the Spirit Bird."
As he finished speaking, a display stand beside him slowly rose. Nan Qiao walked gracefully to the side of the display stand, gently brushed his hand across the surface, and introduced, "This is a simulated ecological environment. The pollutants used are genuine, absolutely not fake."
"If you don't believe it, you can come on stage and get tested."
The Water Country official snorted coldly and strode onto the stage, holding a sophisticated testing instrument tightly in his hand.
He first carefully observed the sewage pool in the simulated environment. The water in it was turbid, emitted a pungent smell, and various impurities floated in it.
He squatted down and slowly inserted the probe of the detector into the sewage, his eyes fixed on the display screen of the detector.
As the data jumped, his brows furrowed slightly. He then stood up and spoke loudly to the audience, "This sewage is indeed filled with a large amount of harmful substances. Various heavy metal ions seriously exceed the standard, and the chemical oxygen demand is also ridiculously high."
Upon seeing this, officials from Muzi Country and Bird Country also came onto the stage with their own testing equipment.
An official from Muziguo tested the soil sample. He took a handful of soil with a small shovel and put it into the sample chamber of the testing instrument.
A moment later, the instrument began to beep. He looked at the data on the screen and said, "The concentrations of pesticide residues and organic pollutants in this soil are extremely high, and have seriously affected the ecological function of the soil."
An official from the Bird Country tested the air in the simulated environment. He waved a small air collector around a few times and then introduced the collected air samples into the detector.
Soon, the test results showed that the content of harmful gases in the air exceeded the standard by several times, and pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides were everywhere.
After confirming the authenticity of these pollutants, everyone's attention once again focused on Nan Qiao and Ling Que.
Nan Qiao gently raised her hand and said softly to Lingque: "Lingque, start the purification."
The spirit bird seemed to understand Nan Qiao's instructions. It flapped its wings and flew high, then landed lightly beside the sewage pool.
It gently pecked the polluted water with its tiny mouth, and in an instant, something magical happened.
The originally turbid and foul-smelling sewage began to become clear at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it were cast by magic.
The impurities originally floating on the water surface slowly settled down, and the pungent smell gradually dissipated.
Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, open their mouths, and their faces were full of shock.
But the officials of Water Kingdom, Bird Kingdom and Wood Kingdom still refused to believe it. They thought it might just be a trick.
So, after the sewage was purified, they rushed forward again with the detector.
The Water Country official trembled as he inserted the detector probe into the water that had become clear. When he saw the data displayed on the detector, his face turned pale instantly.
The heavy metal ion content, which had previously exceeded the standard, has now approached zero, and the chemical oxygen demand has also dropped to an extremely low level. He muttered to himself in disbelief, "How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible!"
Muziguo officials also hurriedly tested the purified soil and found that the concentrations of pesticide residues and organic pollutants in the soil had dropped significantly and had returned to a value close to that of normal soil.
His eyes widened and he shouted at Nan Qiao, "How on earth did they do that? This is not scientific!"
When officials from Bird Country tested the purified air, they also got shocking results.
The harmful gas content in the air has been reduced to a safe level, and the once polluted air has become fresh and pleasant. He stammered, "This... This is simply a miracle!"
Other participants in the audience also started talking about it.
"Does this spirit bird really have such miraculous abilities? Couldn't it solve global environmental problems?"
"Could it be that the Flower Country has mastered some high-tech that we don't know about, and has the ability to disguise itself as this spirit bird?"
"If this is true, then won't the traditional environmental governance methods we have relied on be completely overturned?"
Nan Qiao listened to the discussion and smiled faintly. She said, "Everyone, this is the magical purification ability of the Spirit Bird. It doesn't rely on scientific and technological means, but is an innate talent."
"Although we haven't yet fully explored the underlying principles, it can certainly bring new ideas and directions to our environmental governance."
"We, the Flower Country, are willing to share this discovery with the rest of the world and work together to explore how to better utilize the abilities of the nymph to improve the global environment."
The Water Country official frowned and said in disbelief, "Even if this spiritual bird has the ability to purify, its number is definitely limited. How much impact can it have on the global environment?"
Nan Qiao replied, "This is indeed an issue that needs to be considered. The number of spiritual birds is indeed small at present, but we are studying how to increase their numbers through artificial breeding and other means."
