"How can you go up so high?" Li An frowned, his face turned into bitter melon: "The height between the valve and the ground is 5.5 meters. The original stairs were made of aluminum and wooden boards, but now they have been burned into a mess."
After listening to Li An's words, Li Aimin instantly felt like he had traveled from Hainan Province to the North Pole, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.
Li An helplessly grabbed his pale hair a few times. After a few seconds, he said to Qin Caihui like a dead horse: "Caihui, can you ask the superiors if there is any good way?"
This is a critical moment of life and death, and this is not the time to die in vain.
"I'll try..." Qin Caihui looked at the expectant looks of the people in the tent, and couldn't say the last shocking words.
I took out my phone, flipped through it for a while and pressed the dial button.
...
"Girl, go to sleep." Liu Chi turned on the lamp and pulled up the quilt.
"Yeah." Ye Yuxin found a comfortable position and got into Liu Chi's arms.
"Ring, ring, ring..." A cell phone rang.
"Who is calling so late?" Ye Yuxin raised her head and looked at the mobile phone on the table on the bed.
"You'll know after you take a look." Liu Chi reached out and took the cell phone from the bedside. He looked at the caller and wondered why Chen Luguang would call him so late.
"Your uncle is calling." After saying this, she signaled Ye Yuxin to be quiet and pressed the answer button: "Hello."
"Liu Chi, I have an urgent matter and I want to ask your help." As soon as the call came through, Chen Luguang went straight to the topic.
"What's the matter?" Liu Chi's dishonest hand tightened involuntarily.
"..." Ye Yuxin rolled her eyes at Liu Chi in protest.
"Do you know about the TJ Binhai Refinery?"
"It's on the news, what's wrong? Is there anything I can do to help?" Liu Chi's mind suddenly became clear. His mind, which was originally a little confused, suddenly became clear.
"There's a big problem over there, and we can't fix it now. A crude oil pipe burst, spewing out a tongue of flame nearly 30 meters away. If we can't extinguish this tongue of flame, the fire may not be extinguished in a short time."
"..." Liu Chi listened quietly to what Chen Luguang said.
Chen Luguang explained: "The longer the fire burns, the more dangerous it is. What's even more terrifying is that if the crude oil tank explodes, the consequences will be disastrous."
"The only way now is to find a way to close the valve of the burst pipe, but the valve is in the middle of the fire area, just above the tongue of flames, and no one can get close to it."
"Moreover, electric valves have been destroyed when pipelines exploded. They can only be operated manually. A valve needs to turn 80,000 times to close."
"..." Liu Chi rolled his eyes and didn't know what to say.
What's the use of asking me for this?
I have some ideas.
Do you want me to be imprisoned?
...
"Liu Chi, you are a technical person, can you help me think of any solution?" Chen Luguang was completely blind.
"Where can I find the solution?" Liu Chi said with a bitter smile.
"Haven't you ever made a robot? Is there any way?" Chen Luguang asked anxiously.
Very understandable!
If a cat catches a mouse, every one it catches counts as one.
"Robot?" Liu Chi was stunned, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of the flying robot he built a while ago.
"Yes, only robots can do it now, it's simply impossible for humans to do it."
"Stop, stop, let me think about it." Liu Chi began to think about it. Let's not say whether it is possible or not. If the technology of his robot is spread, the consequences...
I'm afraid my status among flower growers has risen to another level!
I estimate that I will die of old age in a big family of flower growers.
The ‘Gundam’ is already out, and it’s probably too much to go out and spin around.
"You really have nothing to do?" Liu Chi asked unwillingly after a pause of more than ten seconds.
"If there is a way, why wait until now and still can't put out the fire?" Chen Luguang said with a bitter smile.
Liu Chi glanced at Ye Yuxin in his arms, thought about it for a few seconds, and finally sighed!
Protect yourself wisely or go against the wind?
Liu Chi saw Ye Yuxin's crystal black eyes, and finally said with a sudden heart: "Tell me about the working environment, and I'll see if it works?"
"Do you have any idea?" Chen Luguang said in surprise.
"Tell me about the environment first and let me think about it."
"I don't know the details. I only know roughly: the temperature is very high, and the flames coming out are about 300 degrees. Because the valve is above the flames, it is not burned. I don't know what the temperature is."
"With the heat wave, the valve switch was 5.5 meters above the ground, but the brackets were all burned out and there was no place to stay."
"Let me think about it. I want to verify it. I'm not sure if it works now."
"You really have a way?" Chen Luguang almost jumped up.
Now that he was considering starting a settlement, Liu Chi didn't waste any time and said directly: "I don't know, the on-site information you mentioned is too general. I want detailed on-site information. Find someone who knows the site and contact me."
"Okay, okay, I'll have the people on site call you right away." Chen Luguang hung up the phone without waiting for Liu Chi's reaction.
"..."
Less than three minutes later, a strange phone call came in.
"Hello, do you look like Mr. Liu Chi? I am Li An, the chief fire-fighting commander of Binhai Oil Refinery." An old and tired voice came into Liu Chi's ears.
"Yes, I am." Liu Chi nodded.
"Mr. Liu, I heard that you can help us turn off the valve?" Li An's expectant voice came out again and again.
"I'm not sure now. I need to understand the on-site environment in detail before I can be sure."
"You ask?"
"Do you know what the temperature of the working environment is?" Liu Chi asked directly without any nonsense.
"Because it is above the flames, the burning temperature of crude oil is about 200-300 degrees, and the working environment is about 150-200 degrees."
"Where's the wind?"
"Because it is at the seaside, plus the heat wave, if calculated based on wind power, it will be about level 4."
"..." Liu Chi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the wind force was only level 4. It was within the working range of the robot.
"What about the force to close the valve? How hard does it take to turn it one circle?"
"The valve does not need to be very strong. It can be said that it is very light and can be twisted. If I want to give an analogy, a child of about five or six years old can twist it."
“What does the valve handle look like?”
"It is a circle with a diameter of 450mm, with three leaves connected to the midpoint."
"I understand, it needs to be verified. I'm not sure if it will work yet."
"Okay, I wonder how long it will take Mr. Liu? We are really in a hurry here."
"I understand, give me an hour." After Liu Chi said that, he turned on the light in the room.
Although Ye Yuxin couldn't hear what was said on the other side of the phone, she probably knew what was going on from Liu Chi's words.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Mr. Liu."
After Liu Chi hung up the phone, he explained to Ye Yuxin while getting dressed.
