Chapter 197 This Should Barely Be Considered a Superpower, Right?
The outbreak of Minamata disease in Japan quickly spread all over the world, and naturally it also spread to China. Jiang Hao turned on his mobile phone and saw the message. His first thought was that the animal genetic medicine he had put in had already spread.
Countries have also attached great importance to this matter, and have issued warnings to their nationals that they must not eat whale meat and dolphin meat when traveling to Japan, which may cause major diseases.
Countries have once again raised serious doubts about the edible safety of Japanese seafood. You must know that Japan’s whale meat is not only eaten by itself, but also exported. After this situation broke out, local Japanese shopping malls have removed whale meat, even if it was previously exported. Whale meat sent to other countries was also ordered to be sealed.
Not only whale meat, but also other Japanese seafood products, the sales of Japanese seafood products have plummeted, and the export of Japanese seafood products has been greatly affected.
These are a series of chain reactions.
A day later, another news broke.
Nordic Norway, Iceland and South Korea have also experienced Minamata disease patients. They also suffered from syncope and convulsions caused by eating dolphin meat. After testing, it was 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 much less than Japan.
As for South Korea, it was purely the fault. The place where the accident happened was a Japanese restaurant, which provided whale meat and fresh dolphin meat that was airlifted from Japan. At that time, the Japanese news had not broken out, and the restaurant was still selling dolphin meat.
This time, it has attracted the attention of all countries in the world. Strict orders have been issued in China to strictly check the recently imported Japanese seafood products. As long as there are unqualified places, all of them will be returned or destroyed. Imports are subject to the strictest inspections.
The government does not force you to stop importing, but it can use strict management measures to make the merchants dare not import.
In just a short period of time, because of the dolphin meat incident, Japan has suffered significant economic losses, and the seafood industry, which is the backbone of Japan's economy, has suffered a serious blow.
A few days later, one of Europe's largest marine biology research institutions published an investigative report that was broadcast in the news by most of the world.
The report mentioned that they have tested dozens of dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and even inland seas, and the test results are worrying. There are 32 species of sea dolphins and 5 species of freshwater dolphins in the world, of which 8 species of dolphins appear. The phenomenon of super accumulation of organic mercury in the body.
Scientific experiments have confirmed that the safe concentration of mercury in human blood is 1 microgram/10 ml, and when it reaches 5-10 micrograms/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 intake is within the safe range. However, the organic mercury content of these dolphins is as high as several hundred mg/kg, which is 500-2000 times the edible amount of humans, which greatly exceeds the safety standard.
However, the report also mentioned a strange phenomenon, that is, these dolphins were eaten by other marine life after death, and there was no outbreak of mercury poisoning, and there was no mercury accumulation.
Dolphins are the top of the food chain in the ocean, and there are very few animals that can kill dolphins, so there should be no pollution of marine species.
As soon as this report came out, it completely confirmed the previous situation in Japan, and it also relieved people's worries.
However, this news is devastating news for those fishermen who catch dolphins. They can no longer rely on catching dolphins and selling dolphins for a living, because now people all over the world do not 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 sparrows in the distance, "Come here, come here".
Jiang Hao's ability to activate, quickly attracted the attention of those sparrows,
fluttering~~,
A sparrow flew to Jiang Hao's window sill, stood in the distance, tilted his head and looked at Jiang Hao, his little paws jumped, and could fly away at any time. You know, sparrows are very timid animals.
Jiang Hao waved at it again, "Come here."
It may be that the attraction of animal communication skills is too strong, that little sparrow actually flew into Jiang Hao's hands, and a smile appeared on Jiang Hao's face.
He could barely be considered a superpower.
Although a bit of a waste.
He stroked the sparrow's body with his fingers, and he could already feel the sparrow's thoughts in his mind, curious, afraid, and wanting to get close.
It may be that this sparrow's IQ is not high, and he can only feel these things. Unlike the dolphin before, two people can almost communicate in a simple way, just like communicating with a three- or four-year-old child.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Jiang Hao passed a message to the sparrow in his hand.
"chachacha"
The little sparrow felt Jiang Hao's intentions, and immediately became cheerful. It beat twice in Jiang Hao's hand, and chirped in its mouth.
Is this the ability of 'animal communication skills'? It's really good. Jiang Hao felt that he should experiment more to see what the communication responses of other animals are. Where there are many animals in the city, it is naturally the flower, bird, fish and insect market.
Jiang Hao said to the sparrow in his hand, "Okay, let's go play by yourself." As soon as he raised his hand, the little sparrow flapped its wings and flew back to the distant branch.
There is a large flower, bird, fish and insect market in Binhai City. When you walk in, there is a flower area at the beginning, all kinds of flowers are very beautiful, and then there is an ornamental fish area, which contains all kinds of freshwater fish, marine fish and rare fish.
Jiang Hao is not interested in what kind of fish tank to keep fish in.
In the world of "Desolate Island Yu Sheng", the sea is his fish tank. He has seen too many kinds of beautiful fish. At that time, Jiang Hao's idea was whether he could eat it or not.
Next to the fish sellers are the amphibians and reptiles pets, Jiang Hao directly skipped it and came to the cat and dog area.
The cats and dogs are very sensitive. Jiang Hao squatted down in front of a cage, and immediately surrounded by several puppies, Jiang Hao pointed to one of them and asked, "Boss, what kind of dog is this."
"Golden Retriever."
"Let me see?"
"Casual look."
Jiang Hao picked up the little golden retriever. The puppy was very honest in his hands. It was estimated that he was only two months old. Jiang Hao stroked his head with his hand and immediately felt the puppy's heart.
"I want to eat, I want my mother."
This time, the feeling is much clearer than that of the sparrow. It seems that brain capacity and thinking mode are the key to communication. Maybe he and a gorilla can communicate as normal as humans.
Putting down the golden retriever, Jiang Hao saw a chubby guy lying there and asked, "Boss, is this a Shar Pei?"
"Yes, Sharpie."
Jiang Hao picked up the little guy, and the little guy looked at Jiang Hao blankly with a pair of small eyes. The information Jiang Hao got was, "Unhappy, unhappy."
Jiang Hao almost didn't laugh.
Put down Shapi Jianghao and look at the other one, this one doesn't need to ask, it's too famous, Erha, he picked Erha, the puppy Harahala panted, looking very excited.
The message Jiang Hao got this time was, "Eating and fighting."
If conditions permit, Jiang Hao really wants to raise one or two dogs, but unfortunately, he lives in a city and it is very inconvenient to raise large dogs.
As for cats, Jiang Hao doesn't like it very much.
Continuing to go inside, Jiang Hao came to the bird area.
