Into Unscientific

  “.”

  Beside the little house.

  I heard a yell coming from nowhere.

  Including Huang Weiguo, Lao Guo, and the young man named Cai Shaohui, the three of them were stunned for a moment.

   After a while.

  Huang Weiguo was the first to react.

   His pupils shrank suddenly, and the expression on his face instantly became extremely dignified.

  After that, he didn't look at the burning kiln, but turned his head to look at Lao Guo and Cai Shaohui, and said hurriedly:

   "Comrade Guo, Comrade Cai, something seems to be wrong!"

   "By the way, do you have guns on you?"

  Old Guo nodded when he heard the words, patted a slightly swollen area around his waist, and asked at the same time:

   "Take it with you. Why, Director Huang, do you think it might be that the enemy agents are making trouble?"

  After hearing the words, Huang Weiguo turned his head and glanced at the chimney where the kiln was located, hesitated for a moment, and his tone was a little uncertain:

   "It doesn't look like much to be honest."

   "After all, the distance is too far, and the motivation is not logical"

   "But Comrade Guo, your identities are too special, you'd better be cautious."

  When Huang Weiguo said these words, the expression on his face was very serious.

  Although the tile kiln factories or factories in this era did not have a complete safety management system like later generations.

  But some basic rules will still be followed.

  For example, sewage should be discharged below the water source, so as not to pollute the water used by residents above.

  For example, at least one water tower in the factory must be kept full to prevent fires and the like.

   Another example.

  The production area and warehouse should be separated to prevent raw materials and finished products from being damaged due to accidents in the production area.

  These are all experiences accumulated over the years, many of which can even be traced back to the ancient feudal workshop period.

   So at the beginning of the design.

  The production area and warehouse of Wayao Factory are divided into two areas.

  The straight-line distance between these two areas is more than two hundred meters, and there are four or five walls between them, and even the entrances are facing in two directions.

  So if there are really enemy agents who want to target Lao Guo and them

  To what extent is his mind so watted that he would go to the production area to make troubles, and affect the warehouse from hope?

   Not to mention from the perspective of enemy agents.

  Remote areas like Xihai Province are different from Yanjing or Shencheng. The importance of collecting intelligence is obviously far greater than simply destroying.

  At this time, arson would not have any meaning other than exposing your own existence. Normally speaking, an enemy agent whose brain is so wattless should not even live for 49 years.

  So start from the logical side.

  Huang Weiguo is more inclined to be an ordinary accident. Although this accident is a bit slap in the face, it is not a big problem.

   A fire, high and low, can it still give you the people who will come out decades later?

impossible.

But on the other hand.

  The old Guo standing next to him at this time is from that mysterious "mine". At the same time, he also shoulders the mission of transshipment of those "new tiles" abroad, so the particularity of his identity is self-evident.

  So no matter what, Huang Weiguo cannot allow Lao Guo and Cai Shaohui to have an accident.

  Even if it was really an accident, he still had to treat it as a special event.

  The consequence of worrying too much is at best a false alarm, nothing can be lost.

  But the price of carelessness is probably irreparable.

  Think here.

  Huang Weiguo couldn't help taking a deep breath, and said to Lao Guo and Cai Shaohui:

   "How about it, Comrade Guo, Comrade Cai."

   "Now that the handover of 'Xinwa' has been completed, we might as well go back to the warehouse and meet with Battalion Commander Lin and the others."

   "Whether it's a false alarm or a real accident, Battalion Commander Lin's side is definitely the safest."

   "After rendezvous, I will go to President Wang of the Anding Commune and ask him to dispatch militiamen to the burning kiln to maintain order—President Wang is also a member of our peripheral secrecy front. You should have been informed of his identity before departure."

  Old Guo Jian said nodded and replied:

   "Yes, the leader of the mine told me about President Wang, and asking him to come forward is the safest solution."

   Huang Weiguo is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield. Seeing this situation, he said decisively:

   "Okay, then let's not waste time here, let's meet Commander Lin first."

   Say it.

  He left the house with Lao Guo and Cai Shaohui.

A few minutes later.

  The three of Huang Weiguo returned to the original warehouse entrance with their suitcases, and met Commander Lin who was waiting here.

  In addition to commanding the car company, Battalion Commander Lin also brought an infantry platoon of 30 people with him this time.

The main task of this infantry platoon is to assist in the handling of materials. After all, it weighs more than 20 tons—twenty tons is 40,000 catties. If one person can carry 50 catties at a time, it will take more than 800 trips. Get a team to help.

   But in case of special circumstances, they can transform into a powerful attacking team at any time.

  At this time, half of the infantry platoon has entered the standby state. After seeing the figure of Lao Guo, Battalion Commander Lin quickly walked up to him:

   "Comrade Youlai!"

  Simple four words, but you can hear the tension in Battalion Commander Lin's heart.

  Old Guo stepped forward and shook hands with him, saying:

   "Commander Lin, I've been waiting for a long time."

   Battalion Commander Lin quickly glanced at the box that Lao Guo was carrying in the other hand, and without making a sound, he knew in his heart that Lao Guo's mission had been completed.

   Then he thought for a moment, glanced at the thick smoke in the distance, and asked Lao Guo:

   "Comrade Youlai, the specific situation is not yet clear. Are you and Comrade Shaohui leaving the city first or...?"

  Old Guo pointed to Huang Weiguo, and repeated Huang Weiguo's previous thoughts:

  “. This is what Director Huang thinks, and my personal opinion is to stay in the factory.”

   Cai Shaohui on the side heard the words and quietly glanced at Lao Guo.

  He has partnered with Lao Guo for a year, and he has a deep understanding of Lao Guo's character.

  He dared to take half a steamed bun as a guarantee.

  Old Guo's purpose of staying here. At least one of the purposes is for those crucian carp that Huang Weiguo mentioned before.

   After all, there is a high probability that this incident was an accident. It is safe to leave now, but the crucian carp will definitely disappear.

   And by their side.

  Seeing that Lao Guo and Commander Lin met smoothly.

   While Huang Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief, he did not forget what he had to do:

   "In this case, everyone, I will go to the kiln to have a look first, and you pay more attention to the sky - if there is an accident, I will fire the flare gun immediately, and the bullet is blue."

  Old Guo nodded when he heard the words:

   "No problem, I made a note."

   After explaining these.

  Huang Weiguo handed over the key to the factory gate to Lao Guo, and hurried to the kiln.

   Today's Guide County has five communes, and the population is not too large, only in the early 20,000s.

   In another 20 years, the current communes will be transformed into townships and become the basic administrative units of the country that are only higher than the village level.

   The Wayao Factory that Huang Weiguo is in charge of belongs to Anding Commune among the five communes, and it is also the most special commune in the county:

  Anding Commune contributed more than 70% of the county's militia, and 50% of the production tasks undertaken by the communal enterprises came from Shanzhou.

   So pretty much every once in a while.

  Outside the enterprises of the Anding Commune, you can see a lot of trucks with foreign license plates, and it is very lively when picking up the goods.

  This kind of situation is quite common in the current era of planned economy, so over time, everyone will gradually get used to it.

to some extent.

  Anding Commune is the embryonic form of industrial townships in later generations.

   Other than that.

  The militia training base of Anding Commune is also very close to Wayao Factory, and the straight-line distance between the two is about four to five hundred meters.

  In addition, the handover with Lao Guo and others was delayed for some time.

  So when Huang Weiguo arrived at the scene, the commune chief Wang Changlin had already led the militiamen to put out the fire.

   "President!"

   After arriving at the scene.

  Huang Weiguo squeezed his way out from the crowd of onlookers, walked quickly to Wang Changlin's side, and touched his head in embarrassment:

   "I'm sorry, President, some things are delayed in the warehouse. I will definitely conduct a review at the next commune meeting!"

  Wang Changlin is a dark complexioned and thin man, wearing white clothes and black trousers, wearing a pair of shoes with some rubber on his feet, he waved his hand when he heard this:

   "Comrade Wei Guo, we will talk about the review at a later time. The top priority now is to focus on controlling the fire."

   said.

  Wang Changlin pointed to a low-rise factory building that was burning ahead, and said:

   "Look, the location of the fire is in the No. 2 furnace. The time of the fire is not clear. Since the production area was shut down today, it took a long time for the fire to be discovered by the people outside the factory."

   "Now the fire has covered the entire workshop. Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the fire will not be extinguished in a short time."

   "The comrades of the militia brigade are rescuing the equipment in the workshop, at least the punch press must be rescued anyway."

  Huang Weiguo nodded solemnly when he heard the words.

  Although he is a veteran who has been discharged from the army, he has never been to school and does not know much about crafts.

  But he has been the director of Wayao Factory for almost five years, so he is no stranger to the production process and equipment.

   Today's tile production process is not complicated, and the most important equipment is the punching machine.

  Although the punch press in Wayao Factory is not imported from abroad, but produced in a machinery factory in southern Sichuan, its value is still high.

  If there is any equipment in the entire workshop that must not be damaged, it must be the punch press.

  Then Huang Weiguo glanced at the workshop where the fire was still raging, pulled Wang Changlin aside, and asked in a low voice:

   "President, is this fire an accident?"

  Wang Changlin glanced around, nodded calmly, and lowered his voice:

   "It should be an accident. The fire started in the No. 2 furnace. It seems that the high temperature burned out the high-voltage line, and the fire was caused by the combustion of tile ash."

   "High voltage lines?"

  Huang Weiguo was slightly taken aback, but soon he was relieved:

   "It's a real possibility."

  The earliest power transmission line in Xihai Province was a 35kV power transmission and transformation line put into operation three years ago, and it was only put into operation in Shanzhou.

   Then a year and a half ago.

  The power supply line has officially covered Guide County.

Of course.

  Line coverage is one thing, but residents' electricity use is another—due to restrictions for various reasons, residents have not yet been able to connect their homes with electricity.

   Actually.

   According to the current electricity price.

  Even if every household in the county is connected to electricity, it is estimated that not many communes can afford the electricity bill, especially in an economically backward area like Xihai.

  However, as a commune enterprise with production tasks, Wayao Factory is a large electricity consumer.

   Once electricity is used frequently, another problem arises:

   That is the potential safety hazard of electricity.

  Students who were high-voltage wires in their previous life should know it.

  The high-voltage line structure of this era is very primitive.

  Most of the time, the joint is made from the bolt clip at the down-conductor of the substation, which often causes problems due to overheating or overheating.

  Combined with the high temperature in Guide today, in theory, accidents may indeed occur due to high-voltage lines.

  Think here.

  Huang Weiguo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

  Different from his chief soldier, Wang Changlin has been engaged in confidential affairs all year round.

  Being able to say the words 'it should be an accident' from his mouth, most likely there will be no other secrets in this matter.

   While the two were talking.

  The firefighting work on the scene has also entered the most critical stage.

  A lot of people participated in the firefighting this time, about 20 militiamen plus the same number of young and strong workers.

  Some of these workers are workers from the tile kiln factory living nearby, and some are passing people. Although the conditions are difficult in this era, everyone’s hearts are very warm.

  Due to the lack of high-pressure water guns.

  These firefighters can only suppress the fire with buckets, and the core force of the fire is a few strong middle-aged people:

   Together they were carrying a huge leather bag, with a knotted bamboo sticking out of the bag.

  As several people pressed rhythmically, a large amount of clear water continued to flow out through the bamboo, quickly pouring it to the fire point.

   This thing is called a water bag, and it is usually made of horse or cow hide. It has been a common primitive "fire extinguisher" in my country since the Tang Dynasty.

  The commander of the water bag to control the pace and direction of the people when fighting the fire is called 'water head'.

  At this time, the person in charge of the water head was a shirtless man named Mao Xiao.

  The reason why Mao Xiao was able to serve as the head of water was not only his strength, but the more important reason was that he was the workshop director of the production area, and he was much more clear about the location of important equipment than ordinary people.

  Clatter—

   After putting out the fire on a door panel.

"stop!"

   Mao Xiao suddenly stopped everyone's movements, and stared forward for a while.

  Then the voice suddenly raised a bit, and shouted to the surroundings:

   "I see the punch press! Get some help, the fire is too big to be suppressed by water bags alone!"

   Hear this statement.

   All kinds of yelling and shouting soon sounded around:

"I'm coming!"

   "Where?!"

   "Er Dezi, bring the tow hook!"

   After a while.

  A large group of young and middle-aged men, some carrying buckets, some pushing wheelbarrows filled with sand, and some holding slender hooks used to drag equipment, all gathered around Mao Xiao.

   "Look!"

   Mao Xiao took the tow hook from one of the people beside him, pushed open a half-burned door panel, pointed at the room and shouted:

   "See it? The thing on the right is a punching machine, about ten meters away from us."

   "Although this thing won't catch fire, it won't work if it burns for a long time. We can only rescue it as soon as possible."

   "That's why, Ma Laoer, you can sprinkle sand first, and the others will splash water immediately after the sand is completely sprinkled!"

   "When the fire is suppressed a bit, a few more people will come in with me to lift the punching machine out. Is there any man who volunteers to sign up?"

   The voice just fell.

   Mao Xiao raised five or six hands beside him:

   "Maozi, count me in!"

   "Brother Mao, I'm coming too!"

   "Brother Mao, I'm a worker in the factory, add me!"

   Mao Xiao was not too polite when he saw this, and immediately waved his hand:

   "Success, everyone, start preparing!"

   Finished speaking.

   Mao Xiao wrapped the scarf around his neck over his nose and mouth, and at the same time began to splash water on his body.

  The other young men who were named also followed suit.

   Half a minute later.

everything's ready.

  I saw a few workers first throw the sand in the washbasin into the house vigorously, and then the militiamen with buckets quickly poured water on it.

  Under the combination of water and soil.

  The fire in the house was immediately suppressed by a large amount.

   But everyone knows that this suppression will not last long, and it is estimated that the fire will become stronger again in less than a minute.

  So the fire has just been reduced.

   Mao Xiao yelled and rushed, clutching the towel in front of his nose and mouth, and led several people into the flames.

  Just entered the house.

   Mao Xiao felt a heat wave coming from the pavement, and at the same time, there was the crackling sound of wooden doors and windows.

   It's even more uncomfortable.

  The smoke in the room also affected his vision, so he could only rely on his peripheral vision to explore the way, and finally led everyone to the edge of the punching machine with difficulty.

  The punch press in the Way Kiln Factory is about two meters long, and the rough appearance has shed a lot of 'skin' under the high temperature, which looks like King Ning's face.

  However, the structure of the punch press is still solid and has not changed much.

   Then Mao Xiao and the other four stood on both sides of the punch press, and put their hands under the punch press after settling down.

   I don’t know whether the combination of labor protection gloves and clothes is thick enough, or the heat dissipation effect of the punch press is not bad.

  In short, when Mao Xiao took it, his palm was not as hot as expected—this is undoubtedly good news.

   So soon.

   Everyone worked together to lift the punching machine easily.

  However, when Mao Xiao was about to direct everyone to leave the house, he suddenly noticed something on the ground from the corner of his eye.

   Mao Xiao subconsciously looked there.

   And at the moment when he saw that 'thing' clearly.

  Even in the middle of the fire, Mao Xiao couldn't help but yelled:

   "Grass, there is a man here! It's about to burn to ashes!"

Note:

   Hospitalization is too tortured. I don’t know what equipment next door keeps buzzing and flashing. I can’t sleep at all in the middle of the night.
