As a result, Foreman Ge was like a statue, motionless just a stone's throw away from the blast furnace. He was unaware that his hair had a burnt smell under the steaming heat.
It's getting dark.
Xu Baoer advised again: "Sir, you don't have anything to do here. Just let them be on duty here. We can't let you stay here all night."
He Xi listened and pondered for a while, thinking seriously about this issue.
A whole day passed. Everything seemed normal. He continued to stay at the scene, but it had no effect, and even had counterproductive effects. If he didn't leave, all the craftsmen would not dare to leave. We can't really let everyone stay up here with him all night.
Bar.
So who will work during the day tomorrow?
If he takes it seriously, one day is enough.
He Xi stood up and said, "That's fine."
So He Xi walked to the blast furnace, called all the craftsmen over, and asked, "Is there any problem now?"
These craftsmen were silent again, with only the sound of burning flames and the shouting of wind.
He Xi suddenly felt irritable.
It seemed that no matter what he did, these craftsmen were like lumps of wood. Even if he hit them with a stick, they would not fart. No matter what he did, these people would not react.
He Xi didn't wait for them to say anything else. She said, "In that case, leave one or two people to watch, and then go back to sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."
"Sir," Foreman Ge said.
He Xi felt uncomfortable and said, "We'll talk about it tomorrow if we have something to do."
Foreman Ge was not too convinced of his own judgment. After all, they had never seen him like this before. Foreman Ge did not completely believe in his own judgment. Therefore, when He Xi said this, he could only say:
:"yes."
The night is getting deeper.
He Xi slept in a small room about a hundred or two hundred steps away from the blast furnace. Most of the craftsmen also slept nearby.
It's just that He Xi's is a single room, and these craftsmen are in Datong shop.
There are only a few apprentices on duty with Foreman Ge.
Foreman Ge listened to the commotion in the blast furnace, and his brows became tighter as he listened. Suddenly he suddenly shouted: "Go away, everyone, go away. The further away, the better, the further away, the better."
Several apprentices didn't know what was going on, but they listened to their master and stayed away.
Only a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old came to Foreman Ge and said, "Master, what happened?"
This person is none other than the grandson of Foreman Ge.
When Foreman Ge was young, he had three sons. However, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and human lives were worse than dogs. Several of his sons died in the war. Only this young grandson remained. Later, he was conscripted to Nanjing.
, took this grandson with him, and the two of them depended on each other for life.
When the grandchildren grow up, they will be taught all the skills passed down from their ancestors. They will always take them with them to teach them.
At this moment, Foreman Ge didn't explain at all. He grabbed his grandson and said, "I'm afraid this is going to explode-----"
"You want to explode ---?" Foreman Ge's grandson couldn't understand. After all, for him, he had almost never seen a blast furnace. There are many mature techniques left by the ancestors. As long as you master them well, it cannot be said that you will not be able to explode at all.
furnace, but generally this does not happen.
Only when the technology is new and unstable, as is the case today, will such a problem occur.
However, do Ming craftsmen have the ability to develop new processes?
Almost none.
Anyway, Ming craftsmen had no motivation to actively develop new techniques.
Moreover, there are many mature processing methods in the mature technology. Even if an unexpected problem occurs, it can be dealt with in time and will not lead to the explosion of the furnace. But today is completely different.
Foreman Ge did not have time to explain, but took them dozens of steps away. Foreman Ge squatted on the ground, staring at the blast furnace. If Foreman Ge had full choice, he would give up the waterwheel and bellows now.
Separate. Stop blowing and lower the temperature.
However, in this case, this furnace will be useless. Not only the materials of this furnace will be useless, but also the blast furnace will be useless.
If He Xi hadn't been here, Foreman Ge would have been able to deal with this problem through gritted teeth.
But here it is today.
Foreman Ge cannot do this. He may not be able to bear the consequences. Moreover, Foreman Ge has never seen such a high temperature, and he is not completely confident in his own judgment regarding today's situation. He is hesitating whether to send He Xi to He Xi.
wake.
He hesitated for a while and decided to have a look again.
So Foreman Ge walked near the blast furnace. Before he could see anything, he heard a roar.
This loud noise shook the silent night.
------
This roar was also transmitted into He Xi's dream. I don't know if He Xi changed his sleeping place, which made him sleep a little lightly, and he kept dreaming over and over again.
He dreamed that he had successfully passed the public examination after graduation, entered the State Council, was favored by a certain big shot, and became a confidential secretary. A rising star in the political world, but in the dream, a certain big shot seemed a bit like Zhu Chongba, so countless beauties came to him.
He extended an olive branch, and countless superiors and colleagues introduced him to potential candidates.
Either a beautiful painter, a female star, or even a colleague in the State Council.
He had been enjoying himself all day long, but suddenly there was a loud noise, and a nuclear war broke out. He and his blind date who were shopping were evaporated.
He suddenly woke up and realized that it was a dream, and the loud noise was not from a dream, but from reality.
He was stunned for a while and suddenly woke up. The dream was just a dream. Even if the anti-matter bomb exploded in the dream, it didn't matter. But it was different in reality. What happened?
When He Xi pulled off a piece of clothing and came to the scene, it was already a mess.
The entire blast furnace disappeared, and instead a large pit several feet deep appeared. The red hot metal flowed to the ground, and now it has cooled down a bit, solidifying into an irregular iron plate. The entire blast furnace collapsed into more than a dozen pieces, and next to the blast furnace
Within a few meters.
Of course, this is just a large piece. As for how many small pieces broke out and how far they broke out, I don’t know.
He Xi's first question was: "Is anyone injured?"
But I heard a young man say: "Sir, my grandpa, my grandpa-----"
He Xi looked over and saw an old man lying in a pool of blood with several signs of burning on his body. It was Craftsman Ge. His identity was still unknown.
When He Xi saw this, he immediately shouted: "Please call the doctor quickly. Please call the doctor quickly."
By the time the doctor arrived, He Xi had almost finished handling the accident scene.
Because of Craftsman Ge's timely handling, there were no other casualties except himself. However, the blast furnace was so scrapped that it could no longer be scrapped and had no salvage value. Faced with this situation, He Xi felt full of frustration.
.
It's not scary to encounter setbacks. What's scary is that he doesn't know what went wrong now?
If he couldn't even find the problem, his experiment cost so much, and people were injured, and there was a high possibility of death. If nothing was found, what's the point? If there was a progress bar for steelmaking, it would be
It is equal to the light point making a circle at zero percent.
No matter how much frustration He Xi felt in his heart, he still had to do what needed to be done.
He first called the craftsmen together and said: "Don't be nervous, everyone. All the responsibility for this matter is mine. The court will not give you any punishment. However, no matter how much it costs, I must get what I want."
Let’s discuss it and find out what went wrong. Let’s do this for today. Tomorrow, rebuild the blast furnace and come back again.”
After the doctor showed him to Foreman Ge, He Xi called the doctor over and asked, "How is Mr. Ge?"
The doctor said: "Sir, Mr. Ge was hit in the abdomen by a flying stone, his internal organs were displaced, and there was even bleeding. There were already signs of blood in the urine and stool, and there were burns on his arms and thighs. There was also trauma on his head. Such symptoms
, if he were a young man, he might still be able to be saved, but Mr. Ge is old. So-----"
He Xi already had a premonition and said, "Why?"
The doctor said: "So, I can only live with my life."
He Xi is a little heavy.
In the past twenty years, he had never seen dead people. However, they were all at the funerals of the elderly at home, and most of them died of illness. It was sad to be sad. But he also knew that it was inevitable, and everyone was going to die?
But it's different now.
Although Foreman Ge is old, he is in good health. Without what happened today, he might not be able to live for several more decades. But because of him, he ended up like this.
I did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.
This feeling of guilt made He Xi dare not see Foreman Ge at all, because he didn't know how to face him. Although he firmly believed that what he wanted to do was right, had a huge impact, and had to be done. But he
I never thought about using other people's lives to do this.
But, something like this happened.
As the direct leader, He Xi should, both emotionally and rationally, visit Foreman Ge and make compensation and pension.
Of course, He Xi's approach to emotion and reason is a modern standard, not a Ming Dynasty standard.
No matter how he felt in his heart, He Xi could only bite the bullet and get through it.
He pushed the door open and saw Foreman Ge lying on a simple bed. There was a lot of blood on the bedding and on the ground. Because the bleeding time was different and the load was different, the blood showed different colors. There was even a smell.
Bad smell.
This is outside the city after all.
Although He Xi had some discomforts living in the palace, he was generally fine. Here, Xu Baoer also specialized in cleaning and arranging food and accommodation. He Xi's seemingly good living environment was actually the result of his inability to see his privileges.
But what he saw before his eyes was reality.
Even though Foreman Ge was seriously injured, he moved to a single room instead of living in Datongbu. He found a single room, but the price was dilapidated, the rammed earth walls, and the wooden structure could not isolate the moisture, and he even climbed on the walls.
