"Consultant Xu, it's not that I look down on you. You know other things, but you can't do this.
Don't wander around here, what if I light explosives later and get hurt?"
There was an old worker who raised his hand and wanted to chase Xu Shiyan out.
"Uncle, I just heard that cannons were set off to blow up tree stumps today, so I came here to have a look.
This thing is too dangerous. Are you sure the explosives are installed? Do you need to check again?"
Xu Shiyan said and wanted to walk into the venue.
"Hey, hey, Consultant Xu, what are you doing? Don't make trouble, okay?
We have all been veterans of shooting firecrackers for many years, don’t we still know how to do this?
The explosives have been installed, and the place will be cleared soon. Don’t go in, it’s too dangerous. What can I do if I get hurt?”
Several people stretched out their hands to stop Xu Shiyan.
"No, uncle, I'm really worried. Are you sure you have installed it all?
This is no joke, no matter how experienced you are, you can't be careless." Xu Shiyan was a little anxious when he was stopped and couldn't go in.
"Oh, don't worry, you are so young, why are you so embarrassed? When I was working in the field, you were still wearing crotchless pants."
"Consultant Xu, it's not my uncle who is bragging here.
You may say that you are quite capable in other matters, but when it comes to shooting guns, in the first place, my boss, Mr. Li, said he was second, and no one dared to say he was first."
The old worker clapped his chest and promised with great pride.
"Young man, you still have a lot to learn. Even if you are a seventh-level technician, your skills are not enough to show off at the event.
Okay, you don’t need to worry about this matter anymore, leave the place quickly, we’re about to start a fire here.”
The elder Li waved his hand and motioned to several other people to get Xu Shiyan out quickly.
Xu Shiyan remembered that in his previous life, he heard Han Wenzhong say that in 1983, something happened when he set off cannons and collapsed tree stumps in the field.
There was an area where the explosive did not go off after being ignited. The workers thought it was because the detonator or the fuse was not connected properly, so they went to dig up the soil.
In fact, it was because the fuse was pinned by tree roots, so it burned there a little slower.
It doesn't matter what the workers did, the soil will be loose and breathable, the fuse will burn quickly, and the explosive will go off.
The man who picked up the explosives was killed on the spot. It is said that his intestines were blown out. The people next to him also suffered injuries of varying severity. It was considered a serious accident.
Xu Shiyan didn't have any other intention. He just wanted to come up and take a look. If there was really a problem, he might be able to save someone's life.
Otherwise, if something happens, it will be a major accident. Whoever is involved in such a thing will have a hard time.
But these people were blocking everything to prevent Xu Shiyan from going over to check.
Moreover, the attitude of these people was not that they were troublesome, but a little contemptuous, and they felt that they looked down on Xu Shiyan.
Xu Shiyan knew that since he came to work as a technical consultant at Yishen Field, many workers were unconvinced.
Those people saw that Xu Shiyan was young but received the salary of a seventh-level technician, and they all thought that he was just a blind cat who got lucky.
I don’t know how to get some ginseng fertilizer, but it’s a treasure, and I even came to a ginseng field to be a technical consultant.
How capable can you be at such a young age? Serve as a consultant for people like them who have been working for ten or twenty years?
Regarding these, Xu Shiyan was not angry, and it was normal for others to question him.
After all, he was new here and was receiving a high salary, so it was understandable that people would find him displeased.
When faced with doubts, the best way is to achieve results and prove it with strength.
So from the first day on the job, Xu Shiyan was holding back his energy and had to make some achievements.
But no matter what it is, you can't see the results in three or five days. He needs time.
But today he came to remind him with good intentions, but these people looked at him with prejudice.
Xu Shiyan was also a little angry, so he simply stopped talking and followed everyone to retreat outside the safety line.
Here, everyone evacuated fifty meters away, and someone waved the red flag in his hand to give a signal to the other side.
On the other side, someone started to light the fuse.
Let's blast the tree roots. Sometimes it's a single one, and sometimes it's several together. It mainly depends on the density of the tree stumps.
If they are close, they can come together; if they are too far away, they can only come alone.
Whether it is one person or several together, enough fuses must be reserved. If they are together, the first ignition should be longer, and the second ignition should be slightly shorter.
The length of the wire is such that after it is lit, people have to run out at least ten meters away.
There are many large tree stumps in this ginseng field. Old Man Li directed people to place them in groups one by one, so quickly.
A group of about ten wires were all ignited, and the man ran away. He probably ran less than 20 meters when the one that was ignited first exploded.
There were continuous bangs and bangs over there, and Old Man Li and the others here were counting silently in their minds, judging by the number of explosions whether there were dumb bombs.
"Well, these ten have rang, let's go to the next group."
After the explosion passed and everyone confirmed that it was all going off, they felt relieved and continued to wave the red flag to signal the other side.
After receiving the signal there, continue to click on the next group.
The first few groups were fine, and they all rang. Old Li glanced at Xu Shiyan and snorted.
The meaning is self-evident. This is because Xu Shiyan is too nosy and questions the elder Li's ability.
Xu Shiyan didn't say anything, just stared into the distance. It would be best if nothing happened. Why, you thought he was expecting something to happen? Those are human lives, no joke.
On this side, continue to wave the red flag, on the other side, light the fuse again.
However, this time, the six rang only five times. "Did one of them not ring?"
Old Man Li didn't wait for the sixth ring, his face immediately turned ugly, and he asked hurriedly.
"Well, I just counted five times. Which one should be mute?" said the person next to him.
"It is estimated that the fuse or detonator was not inserted properly and fell out."
"I'll go over and take a look." Old Li's face was ashen and he was about to go forward to check.
"Uncle, don't go there, wait a moment."
Xu Shiyan stopped the person, turned around and shouted to the person who lit the fuse over there, "Come back first, don't go over there, don't go over there."
They were quite far away, so it was difficult to hear what Xu Shiyan was shouting from over there.
But there was no flag waved here to give a signal, and the people at the other end didn't dare to move, so they just waited there.
Old Li was stopped by Xu Shiyan and became anxious.
"Hey, what's going on with you little comrade? Did you deliberately go up the mountain to cause trouble today?
There were only a few left. After firing, I could go home from get off work. There must be a squib on the other end that didn't go off. I went over and dug up the soil, reconnected the fuse and detonator, and lit it.
What do you think you are causing trouble here?" Old Li said as he pushed Xu Shiyan away and went to check.
"Uncle, don't go. The explosive didn't go off, maybe because the fuse was set too slowly."
Xu Shiyan stopped Big Old Li again and refused to let him go that way.
"Impossible, I have been working for so many years, but I have never encountered a fuse that can be set slowly?
They're all the same thing, how can they be slower than others? Get out of the way and I'll go over and take a look."
Old Man Li looked unbelieving and insisted on going there.
Xu Shiyan refused to let him go no matter what, so the two started fighting. When the people next to them saw it, they could only come over to persuade them.
The people waiting for the signal over there thought something was wrong, so they simply ran over here to ask what was going on.
Just as he ran forward about ten meters, there was a bang behind him and an explosion.
