The specific story of the matter was quickly figured out after Fan Heng rushed back to the factory.

The reason is very simple, and it is also very infuriating to say it!

In fact, after Fan Heng became the director of the assembly workshop, he issued a series of safety regulations and regulations under Fan Wubing's reminder. One of the special emphasis was fire prevention, and it was clearly stipulated that flammable and volatile organic solvents such as gasoline should not be used inside the workshop to clean the dirt on the ground or the surface of machinery and equipment to avoid fire.

This matter is naturally very correct, and the employees strictly abide by it. Although they have not done this much before, since the leader has spoken, their subordinates naturally cannot take it lightly.

But once, a worker sprinkled gasoline onto a mop to clean the ground for convenience. As a result, when he bent down, the metal lighter in his shirt pocket suddenly fell out and bounced on the hard cement floor. After turning over a few buckets, the lid actually bounced open itself. The collapsed spark immediately ignited the gasoline evaporated from the ground, and flames immediately rose up in a space of several meters.

Fortunately, Fan Heng was at the scene at that time. He shouted in an anxious mood. More than a dozen workers held fire extinguishers in a semicircle to extinguish the fire, which suppressed the fire and avoided a major safety accident.

However, this incident was evil from beginning to end. Later, when everyone was free, they wanted the scene to reappear. They took a lighter and threw it on the ground, but they never could have bounced the lid open and ignited the gasoline on the ground.

Since this lesson, no one in the workshop has dared to scrub the floor with gasoline in the factory.

But this time Fan Heng went to Guangzhou with his technical strength to inspect and study, so the management in the workshop naturally relaxed a little, but there was a limit to the relaxation of the employees, at least the rules and regulations were not dared to joke about them.

Unexpectedly, just after Fan Wubing and others left, the superiors suddenly notified that a leader was coming to the factory to inspect the production situation, and they also specifically emphasized the need to inspect the production of the main assembly workshop. For this reason, Deputy Director Wang, who was responsible for logistics in the factory, came to the main assembly workshop to sit in the main assembly workshop, so that they could do a good job in reception and clean up all the places they should clean up.

The environment in the workshop will naturally not be very good. This is not the dust-free and sterile workshop thirty years later, but the cement floor covered with oil and mud mixed with waste paint. Although the employees wiped it carefully, some things were difficult to remove. So Deputy Director Wang waved his hand and asked everyone to use gasoline to scrub the floor.

The squad leader who was temporarily in charge of the workshop immediately reminded the leader that there were regulations in the workshop that the floor could not be cleaned with organic solvents such as gasoline in the factory. However, Deputy Director Wang believed that this was a disguised conflict with his leadership's will and authority. Under his insistence, the employees had to compromise.

So the fire suddenly occurred, twelve people died on the spot, seven seriously injured, and several others were slightly injured. Almost all the employees present were injured, but the initiator of the incident, Deputy Director Wang, was not injured at all, because he felt that the smell of gasoline was too hurt, so he went out to breathe, and just escaped the disaster.

When Fan Heng returned to the workshop where the fire was burned, he saw everything he saw after the fire was burned. The four-story building was charred all over, and the wooden doors and windows were all turned into coke and ashes. The iron doors made of steel bars were burned to be twisted and deformed, and the cement floor was a little vitrified.

The oil depot was even more terrible. The large oil tank with a diameter of more than ten meters exploded, and even the top was sprayed away. The weeds growing on the surrounding land were all ripe and burned. The comrades present said that fortunately there was not much stock in the oil tank, otherwise it would be easy to cause a chain reaction of nearby buildings and cause greater losses. Even so, it took everyone a whole afternoon to put out the fire. It was hard to wait until all the oil in the oil tank was burned before the fire could be controlled.

The biggest loss inside the assembly workshop is that many equipment have been completely scrapped. Fortunately, it is only equipped with non-combat components for military products. If the torpedo warhead is also installed here, the consequences will not be like this now.

As soon as Fan Heng came back, he was surrounded by the workers in the workshop and cried to him about the losses in the workshop. Some people ignored the safety production rules and regulations and ordered workers to use gasoline to clean the ground. The more Fan Heng heard it, the more he felt, and he wanted to go to the factory department to question the matter in person.

However, the fire has been happening for several days, and Deputy Director Wang, the direct person responsible for the accident, is still fine. What should I do or what should I do? The factory department has not expressed any public opinion or opinion on this.

Many people know about this. Deputy Director Wang is a military-transferred cadre. After being taken aback by Sun Baoqing, the first director of the Pingyuan Factory, he became a son-in-law. Later, he climbed up from the position of an ordinary cadre. When Sun Baoqing stepped down, he rushed to the position of deputy director. He worked for more than ten years. Although he did not rise any further, this person's relationship in the factory is still very strong, and his power is very complicated, and the factory director and secretary have no temper.

But when things are so big, there must be a scapegoat to take responsibility. Deputy Director Wang naturally refuses to be Lei Feng. A squad leader in charge of the daily work of the workshop died in the fire. After counting, he could not find a convincing scapegoat. For this matter, the factory was also very troubled. If such a big safety accident occurred, if a leader with real power was not dealt with, it would be difficult to explain to the superiors and subordinates!

So, Deputy Director Wang, who was eager to get rid of the fire responsibility, turned his attention to Fan Heng who was on a business trip. He thought to himself that Fan Heng was just a middle-level leader who was promoted from ordinary technicians and had no strong backer behind him, so he would not cause any variables at once.
