Chapter 695: The flames I faced were even more shocking
Cuifen took a deep breath to express her agreement and took charge of some of the backyard affairs.
On the other side:
Outside the courtyard gate, Yang Xiaomei looked dazed and distraught; her sister Qin Xiuqin took the kitchen utensils handed to her by the aunt and joined the busy crowd.
The atmosphere in the courtyard gradually became harmonious and peaceful, and even those who were usually more isolated were attracted to come in. Aunt Jia could only wait until this wave of busyness was over before visiting.
Afterwards, the group quickly headed to the destination, the machinery factory, and kept checking various residential areas on the way, providing immediate assistance if any difficulties arose.
"Everyone listen carefully. When I say one, two, three, on three, push together."
"Understood!"
Mr. Yang led the team to successfully rescue a young man whose calf was crushed and then continued to move forward.
When they finally arrived at the street office, they met Director Wang who was in a state of panic.
Mr. Yang said, "The Nanluoguxiang area has been cleaned up. You can go over there and take care of it now."
"Thank you so much, you came at the perfect time."
"Give me thirty people, we can split up to support different areas"
"Okay, leave the rest to us."
So people dispersed to where help was needed according to the plan.
Arriving at the gate of the machinery factory, Mr. Yang felt relieved when he saw the security personnel guarding the gate strictly.
Afterwards, we learned about the situation in the factory and found that the overall impact was not serious. Only a few warehouses were damaged, and everything else was fine. The only minor injuries were a few staff members who fell.
Captain Liang came to meet General Manager Yang to discuss how to deal with the sudden accident at the steel plant.
"The situation at the steel plant is urgent. Please follow me to provide reinforcements."
In the end, despite the opposition, Mr. Yang remained determined to lead the special service team to the disaster area in person, leaving a notice for chemical and pharmaceutical factories to pay special attention.
As the crowds watched, the vehicles formed a convoy and drove through the streets and alleys to their destination. People changed from being frightened at first to embracing hope for the future.
“If that doesn’t work, ask someone nearby for help.”
Zhang Jianguo shouted anxiously.
Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Don't you know what the situation is like around our steel plant?"
After hearing this, Zhang Jianguo fell silent.
"Lao Zhang, take those who can still move to guard the liquid nitrogen plant. No accidents can happen no matter what."
"Otherwise we will be sinners and the machinery factory will be implicated as well."
"I understand!"
Zhang Jianguo nodded and said, "Leave the liquid nitrogen plant to me!" Then he hurried away. Li Jiancheng took a deep breath, took off the bandage on his head, and picked up a large wooden barrel beside him. "Comrades, protect the steel plant."
“Protect the fruits of our labor.”
"follow me!"
He picked up the wooden bucket and rushed towards the flowing molten steel and poured it down.
On the side, the shirtless men shouted loudly and ran to the pond to get water as soon as they finished pouring water.
"Hurry up, faster!"
Li Jiancheng shouted as he ran forward. Suddenly, several beams of light shot out and stopped him in his tracks.
"What are you standing there for? Come and help me." A smile appeared on Li Jiancheng's face, but his eyes were filled with excitement, almost tears.
"Manager Lin!" Li Jiancheng shouted excitedly. When the car door opened, he rushed over immediately. Lin Wentao patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and ordered his entourage: "Go to the scene and control the fire!"
A hundred or so people immediately lined up and rushed to the front line with tools. On the way, Lin Wentao asked what happened.
"Tonight we were operating two steelmaking furnaces, one 50 tons and the other 100 tons. Somehow there was a vibration, and the small steelmaking furnace was hit by the vehicle and deviated from the track. The molten steel inside overflowed and ignited the coal. Not only that, the flames also burned the power control system, and the whole factory was out of power. We could only rely on the backup power supply and small engines to pump water to put out the fire."
After the two arrived at the scene, the flames they faced were even more shocking. Thick smoke enveloped the surroundings and workers were busy putting out the fire.
Lin Wentao instructed the workers to cool down the steel billets and control the flow of molten steel on the ground. At this time, Li Jiancheng immediately sent a small team to protect the liquid nitrogen plant to prevent explosion.
Li Jiancheng was worried that the 100-ton converter would be damaged, and suggested draining the molten iron as soon as possible. In order to manually drain the molten iron into the storage tank, he drenched himself in cold water and operated the key equipment in extreme danger. Lin Wentao did not stop him in time and also followed him into the fire scene to assist.
After the two successfully adjusted and poured out the liquid steel in the converter, Li Jiancheng fell to the ground exhausted and was covered with thick cotton cloth. The two continued to argue fiercely.
The colleagues watching outside were excited and relieved by this scene. They realized that the manager they admired was not only a commander but also a comrade-in-arms who fought together with them.
The night gradually returned to tranquility, and the air was filled with the smell of cool metal. People sat down to examine themselves, their hearts filled with gratitude for their rebirth.
Qin Huairu listened silently as the doctor carefully examined her injured colleague, her heart full of respect - she knew very well that if it weren't for the joint efforts of General Manager Yang and other workers, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"As long as there is a factory, it's fine." She looked firmly into the distance.
This ordeal brought them closer together and formed an inseparable bond between them.
At four o'clock in the morning of the next day, the sky was slightly light. The sun gradually penetrated the sky of the city, illuminating this restless city. People came out of their homes, checked the situation around them, and spontaneously went to help where needed.
As the various management units began to take action, the entire city quickly launched self-rescue and recovery work. The power department had already sent people to check the lines. After a night of hard work, the important power supply and communication systems were finally restored at dawn, ensuring that all departments could communicate and coordinate in a timely manner.
In the steel plant cafeteria, a figure is busy. He is not a professional cook, but he is also skilled in stirring the noodles in the big pot, and occasionally tastes the taste to make sure the saltiness is appropriate. This person is Yang Xiaotao, who is sleepy and hungry at the moment but still sticks here.
Yang Xiaotao searched for ingredients in the kitchen and decided to cook some simple noodles to fill his stomach. There were also various instant noodles and dried noodles in the space, and he didn't care to be picky, so he poured them all into the big pot, added eggs and chopped green onions for seasoning, and this was his breakfast.
At this moment, the director of the institute, An Zhongsheng, rushed in and shouted, "Boss Yang, there's a call for you!"
"Phone? Who called?" Yang Xiaotao asked while stirring the noodle soup.
In another corner, Guan Zhiyong was taken to an armored vehicle for further examination at a city hospital due to an ankle injury. The workers at the scene relaxed a little when they saw the familiar vehicle leaving.
At the same time, Qin Huairu and others were also nervously following the latest news. After hearing the news that the government would provide subsidies for damaged houses, everyone felt a little relieved, but they still had to wait patiently for official notification. After all, after last night's earthquake, everyone hoped to return to normal life as soon as possible.
