Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

The explosion was like a bolt from the blue, spreading throughout the factory, with varying reactions.

The workers raised their heads and looked at the sky, wondering: "Did the spring thunder come so early this year?"

"Yeah, it's only the beginning of March!"

The first thunderstorm in Sijiucheng usually occurs in April.

In the past century, there have been only two first thunderstorms in March, both in the 21st century, on March 2002, 3, and March 29, 2019.

So everyone was quite surprised by this loud noise in early March.

But they didn't think about the laboratory at all.

Because they didn't know what the laboratory was doing, they subconsciously thought that a laboratory engaged in machine tool research could make such a big noise.

Zhou Xinjian, who was still in the Sangang machine tool assembly workshop, took a look at the direction of the laboratory and didn't think much about it.

But Yang Weimin and Tao Yuan, who were in the office at this time, were shocked.

The two looked at each other, and Yang Weimin quickly stood up and looked through the window toward the laboratory.

Then he saw the billowing smoke and dust, and immediately exclaimed: "No, it's a laboratory."

Tao Yuan was stunned: "Could it be that the converter is used to make steel?"

"Fuck!" Yang Weimin cursed, turned around and ran outside.

Tao Yuan also panicked.

What the hell are you afraid of?

He has experienced a lot of work-related injuries and deaths.

But this time I was more anxious than ever.

In the entire factory, anyone can get into trouble, but Jiang Chen must not get into trouble.

This is their consensus.

No matter from a personal or national perspective, Jiang Chen's accident is a huge irreparable loss.

Too big for them to bear.

At the entrance of the laboratory, they met Liu Yue and his party who happened to come out of it.

Looking at the worker lying on the board, Yang Weimin's heart trembled, and he quickly stepped forward to stop Liu Yue: "Liu Yue, what happened? Is Xiao Jiang okay?"

Liu Yuedao: "There was an accident during the experiment, and the leader is fine. It's just that this comrade was injured and needs to go to the infirmary for treatment as soon as possible."

Before Yang Weimin could ask, Liu Yue had already led people to the infirmary in a hurry, so he had no choice but to give up.

Then he met Luo Xue coming out of it.

When Luo Xue saw Yang Weimin, she stepped forward and said, "Director Yang, is Master Yang here? I might ask him to help send people to the hospital later."

Yang Weimin said: "He's here, just go find him. What's going on inside?"

Luo Xue briefly talked about the situation inside: "Everyone else is fine. The leader is organizing the aftermath now. Don't worry."

After saying that, he turned around to find Xiao Yang.

Yang Weimin and Tao Yuan were relieved when they heard that Jiang Chen was okay.

The two of them were not in a hurry to return, so they found a place outside the laboratory to squat and smoke, waiting for Jiang Chen to come out after handling the matter.

In order to show their sincerity in completely delegating power, the two of them did not ask Jiang Chen to apply for a pass, nor could they enter the controlled area.

But knowing that since Jiang Chen was looking for Xiao Yang, he would definitely look for them later, he simply waited here.

The oxygen in the converter was cut off, and carbon, silicon and other substances were exhausted, and the furnace slowly became quiet.

The crisis is over.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then there was a moment of fear.

If the furnace body weighs hundreds of tons and jumps around, everyone will be shattered and every room will be destroyed.

If the explosion had been more violent and the furnace exploded, it is estimated that none of the three people would have survived.

Or, maybe the furnace body is made of ordinary steel, and a bigger tragedy may happen today.

Although the current furnace body is not made of tungsten-chromium alloy steel with the best ratio, its hardness is more than five times that of ordinary steel.

Jiang Chen scanned the whole place and found that no one was injured, so he said coldly: "What's going on?"

"Why did you start the experiment without waiting for me to come back? Who gave the order?"

This is really going to kill people.

Su Changming lowered his head and said nothing.

At that time, he tried to persuade Lu Yuehua, but the other party wanted to conduct experiments as soon as possible and assured him that the data had been strictly calculated by him and there would be no problems.

Now that something went wrong and his brother was injured, it was already good that he didn't add insult to injury, so naturally he wouldn't take the blame.

Lu Yuehua said: "I'm sorry, I'm just too impatient and want to conduct the experiment quickly. Because the experiment is starting now, this furnace has just been finished, and there can be another experiment today."

"I have obviously calculated the amount of silicon added. Why does this happen?"

Seeing that he was still obsessed with his calculations, Jiang Chen was furious and scolded him:

"Nonsense, calculations. If calculations are useful, why do we need to experiment? I told you last time that calculations are only data under ideal conditions. We need to calculate, but we cannot completely use the calculation results as a reference."

"If the explosion were more violent and the furnace exploded, think about the consequences for the people around you. Can you bear the responsibility?"

"As a manager, every decision you make affects the lives of many people. You know clearly that there is a risk of deflagration in converter steelmaking, so you dare to start the experiment so naturally?"

He finally understood why Chen Tongshan's research team didn't want him.

Maybe he is capable and motivated, but he is too positive and conceited. He does things based on his own calculations and takes things for granted. It is only a matter of time before something goes wrong.

Lu Yuehua may be capable, but at most he can only serve as a general who charges into battle, and he definitely cannot become a commander-in-chief with the power to make decisions.

He needs someone to hold him down and stop his impulses.

Lu Yuehua lowered his head: "I'm sorry!"

Jiang Chen said: "Is it useful to be sorry? If Li Yapeng's leg is gone, how much impact will it have on him and his family? As the backbone of the family, if he is gone, his family will be almost destroyed."

"Do you think your apology can replace his legs? Can it save his family from collapse?"

"I have been emphasizing safety, safety. Where is your safety awareness? Where is your thorough consideration?"

Jiang Chen said the consequences were serious, and Lu Yuehua felt guilty: "If Comrade Li Yapeng loses his leg, I am willing to use my salary to help their family so that they don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation."

Jiang Chen snorted: "It's obvious that your salary is high, right? You have to know that if you keep doing things like this, sooner or later there will be more serious accidents, causing greater damage."

"At that time, how much salary will you have to help the families you destroyed?"

Lu Yuehua lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing that the other party had not realized the key to the mistake, Jiang Chen said: "I haven't settled the accounts with you about the last leak. You made a big mistake here, you..."

"You can stop being the leader of the alloy steel research team. I will take over the role for the time being. You can concentrate on being an ordinary technical expert and do your job well."

"If you feel dissatisfied, I can ask Mr. Zhou to move around and transfer you back to Qingbei and continue to be your professor."

Lu Yuehua was startled: "When did I leak the secret?"

Jiang Chen said: "When you first came in, I told you about the internal affairs of the laboratory. Don't talk about it after leaving the laboratory."

"It would be better for you, just to satisfy your pitiful vanity, call Chen Tongshan to show off and leak the time when the laboratory submitted the alloy steel data."

"Do you know how much trouble this has caused me? If it weren't for your leak, I wouldn't need to trouble the chief?"

Jiang Chen told him about this matter last time, thinking he could figure it out, but he didn't expect that he didn't even realize that it was a leak.

Jiang Chen was speechless.

It seems that this guy only has work in mind, has zero political awareness, and has negative management ability.

Lu Yuehua was silent for a long time: "I choose to stay in the laboratory. As long as it can give me something to do, any identity is fine."

"Even if I don't need special allowances and the punishment is downgraded, I can accept it."

He also knew that he had made a big mistake today, and he could not easily get over it with just a scolding.

Therefore, he directly stated his determination.

He is a person who does things, and he finally found the feeling of doing things here. If he were to go back to Qingbei to work as a salted fish, he might as well die.
