Mr. Qian came to the office wearing slippers and asked Mr. Wang about the situation as soon as he entered the door.
Mr. Wang squinted his eyes and was originally deep in thought. When he heard Mr. Qian's words, he immediately raised his head. After taking a look, he motioned to the phone beside him.
"This is a call from Director Ran, but I haven't hung up yet!"
After hearing this, Mr. Qian immediately stepped forward and picked up the phone.
After a long while, Ran's father's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Chief, the experiment failed."
"...an explosion occurred while filling liquid oxygen..."
Father Ran briefly told the truth, and Mr. Qian frowned with a serious expression.
"How are the others?"
"There are no serious injuries, most of them are minor injuries!"
"Okay, you have to calm down the comrades and wait for the investigation!"
After saying that, Mr. Qian hung up the phone, then sat aside and frowned from time to time.
"Old Qian, what do you think?"
Mr. Wang's voice came, losing its usual calmness.
This sudden news caught him off guard.
I thought it was an ordinary experiment, but in the end, even if no data was obtained, it shouldn't be like this!
It's okay now. Not only did we not get the experimental data, but there was also a serious accident.
When I learned the news, my superiors had already called me and paid attention.
This put a lot of pressure on him.
“I don’t know until the specific situation is clear!”
"So, now we still have to investigate clearly what caused the explosion!"
"This will ensure that the next experiment will proceed normally!"
After Mr. Qian finished speaking, Mr. Wang's face trembled.
"Next time? Lao Qian, are you going to continue?"
Mr. Qian nodded solemnly.
"Why don't you continue?"
"Comrades were hit hard by this failure. I don't want to find anyone's fault, because the comrades are all right."
"If I'm really wrong, it's my fault. I didn't go to the front line and be with my comrades!"
"So, I will use the next success to boost morale!"
"Besides, if you want to start from scratch, you have to move quickly, otherwise the progress will be affected!"
Mr. Wang rubbed his eyes and thought: What if it fails again?
It's just that I don't dare to say these words, otherwise I will really lose, and it will be like a crow's mouth!
But this experiment is not something you can just do!
My family's financial situation has just improved, but now it's going to be drained again.
This Mid-Autumn Festival is too late to pass!
"Old Qian, let me have someone investigate this. The superior leaders are also very concerned about this and are waiting for the results!"
"We will talk about the experiment after the investigation is clear!"
Mr. Qian thought for a moment and then nodded.
He also knew a little about the affairs within the Ministry of Machinery, and many departments needed funds for research.
What Mr. Wang said is also reality, even if it is just an excuse.
"Okay, that's it!"
Mr. Qian reluctantly agreed.
The two reached a consensus, and Mr. Qian went out and returned to the office, preparing to contact Minfu City to review the accident.
After Mr. Qian left, Mr. Wang reported the situation to his superiors.
On the phone, Mr. Chen asked about the process in detail, but Mr. Wang could only tell what he knew.
Finally, I put forward my personal opinion and want to continue the experiment.
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Mr. Chen finally agreed to Mr. Wang's request and would allocate supplies as soon as possible so that rocket research could continue.
After hanging up the phone, my heart was full of dark clouds!
"Okay, why did it explode?"
...
Three days later!
Minfu City, Rocket Research Institute, temporary residence!
"Director Ran, please recall the scene again. Are there any missing details?"
In the office, Song Tao sat on a chair and asked Ran's father, who was looking frustrated.
Two days after the explosion, he flew here.
I originally thought it was just an accident. After all, no experiment can be 100% successful.
There were not many failures in the experiments of the Seventh Machinery Department in the past.
But this time the failure was more serious, not only losing a lot of supplies, but also causing casualties.
But there is no need to let him come.
If I had known, there would be a lot going on in Sijiucheng.
But after he came, I realized why he was asked to come.
It turns out that the person in charge here, Ran's father, and those involved in the research all agreed that the accident was not an accident.
The superior also conveyed the intention of the leader of the Seventh Machinery Department to find out the reason.
Under such circumstances, he could only work up the energy to investigate whether it was a technical reason or a human reason.
Of course, whether it is the former or the latter, the impact of this incident in the Seventh Machinery Department is not small, and the responsibility must be investigated.
Just looking at Director Ran's appearance in front of him, he felt that it was necessary to report to his superiors that it would be better to go home and rest for a while.
After all, the blow this time was too big!
Seeing that his words received no response, Song Tao looked at Director Ran again.
If he didn't know the contribution of the person in front of him and Yang Xiaotao's factors, he wouldn't be so polite.
It's just that being polite can't solve the problem!
"Director Ran!"
"No!"
Finally, Father Ran's hoarse voice sounded, as if he hadn't drank water for a long time.
"We were all on the hillside at the time. I was about to enter the tent to rest for a while when I heard shouts from around me. Then I rushed over and saw two people surrounded by flames, with flames flowing around them..."
"Then there was an explosion~"
Ran's father clenched his fists at the painful memories and looked heavy.
"There must be something wrong with those two tanks of liquid oxygen!"
"Why else would it be on fire?"
"You know, liquid oxygen is just a combustion accelerant. How can it catch fire without combustibles to ignite?"
"Our people are professionally trained and will never bring fire sources close to them."
"So, there must be something wrong with this jar."
Father Ran gritted his teeth and said.
The people around me judged the same way.
Song Tao nodded after hearing this, calming Ran's father's excitement.
They already knew what Ran's father said.
And it was this understanding that made him feel that this was more like an accident!
The reason why they say this is that nine times out of ten they do not dare to believe it and dare not face the facts.
Shen Tao signaled Ran's father to stay calm, so he asked again according to the procedure.
"We learned from other comrades that the liquid oxygen used this time was not produced by the Sijucheng Machinery Factory. Why is this?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shen Tao fixed the problem on the cause of the explosion, which was the two tanks of liquid oxygen.
After hearing the question, Ran's father raised his head and explained, "It's a long journey to transport here from Sijiu City, and there are still risks!"
"We have limited funds. We can get it from the nearest Jinling, which can save transportation costs. It can also be transported by water, which is convenient and safe!"
"Also, they used to supply our liquid oxygen factory, so there is no problem with their background!"
Song Tao hummed, and then asked, "Do you think this is a problem with the liquid oxygen itself or is it caused by the personnel operating it?"
Father Ran shook his head, "I didn't see the scene at that time. If possible, I believe in my comrades more."
Speaking of this, Ran's father's eyes turned red.
"Comrade Yu Haoran and Comrade Miao Xinran are both experienced comrades. They have been responsible for this work for many years. This is not to say that there are no mistakes, but there are very few problems!"
"So I am more willing to believe that there is a problem with the liquid oxygen!"
Ran's father said, feeling very regretful.
If we had not worried about the small amount of money, if we had chosen to bring liquid oxygen tanks from Sijiucheng, this problem would not have arisen.
It will not cause the experiment to fail and disrupt the overall plan.
Now, we have to start from scratch again.
"Okay, I basically understand the situation!"
Song Tao knew that there was no point in asking anymore, he already knew everything he needed to know!
But even though he knew it, he still found it difficult.
There is a problem with liquid oxygen, how to check?
They have all been used and blown to pieces!
He is not a professional and does not know the direction of the investigation.
Thinking of this, Song Tao still spoke, "Director Ran, to be honest, when we come to investigate this time, we lack knowledge in this aspect. In other words, we just don't understand!"
"The problems here require judgment from your professionals."
"If you can actively cooperate, our work can progress more smoothly..."
After hearing this, Ran's father glanced at Song Tao, and then nodded.
Having failed many times, he has long since developed an indomitable heart.
What he felt sorry for was those comrades who died!
"Don't worry, we will fully cooperate."
"And, I also want to find the reason for the failure!"
Song Tao nodded, "Well, if there is any news, I will inform you!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the office, went outside and looked at the people waiting here.
"Director, we visited and surveyed everyone, and everyone has similar opinions!"
Someone on the side brought the information forward, and Song Tao glanced at it casually.
"Is that what you think?"
Song Tao asked, because everyone here felt that the two comrades in charge of the operation would not make mistakes.
They all believed that the problem was probably those liquid oxygen tanks!
Although this statement seems to Song Tao more like an excuse to be unable to accept failure and shirk responsibility.
But with so many people saying this, their internal affairs also need to give an explanation.
We also need to give an explanation to the Seventh Machinery Department.
"Have you notified the people in Jinling?"
Song Tao put down the report and asked the people around him.
"I was notified last night! I guess it's already here by now!"
"Okay, let them investigate the relevant information about this batch of liquid oxygen!"
"Who made it, who sent it, where it was boarded, and who received it must be investigated clearly."
"By the way, protect the debris from the explosion at the scene, especially the fragments of the oxygen tank. Find everything you can find!"
"clear!"
After speaking, Song Tao waved his hand and felt his nose itchy, then he raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the blazing sun.
Ah sneeze…
After one sneeze, my whole head feels much clearer!
"Who is thinking about me?"
…
"Director, all the information you want is here."
In Sijiu City, Xiao Liu placed a piece of information in front of Yu Zecheng.
Ever since he heard about Qin Jingru and Tian Jing in the courtyard, Yu Zecheng was very curious, how could a university teacher, a person who was hated by everyone in the courtyard, get together?
It's not that his thoughts are too dark, it's just that the current social environment is like this.
Social status has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Especially nowadays, when people interact, move around, and get married, they pay more attention to being well-matched.
The glorious poor peasants looked down upon the middle peasants, and the middle peasants felt that they were dwarfs when they saw him. This was also the reason why the stupid Zhu in the courtyard looked down on Xu Damao.
A proud farmhand will never take a second look at a rich peasant girl, because marrying such a woman will not hold you up in the village, and future generations will be implicated.
People in the city are provided with food, which is what the country people dream of. How many rural women go to great lengths to get into the city.
But after entering the city, the children who were born still settled with their mothers. In this case, it became more and more difficult for rural people to move to the city.
At this time, a person like Qin Jingru is actually with a university teacher from a middle peasant background. Unless both parties have interests, it will be difficult for them to get together.
