Chapter 128 Fatal Strike

It was drizzling and cloudy.

On a hillside in the northern part of Bandon Island.

In front of an unnamed tombstone built last year, Li Qingye put a bouquet of white chrysanthemums on the stone platform, and filled three wine glasses with green plum wine.

The sound of ticking rain was the only sound at the moment.

Standing behind Li Qingye, Fei Li dutifully held up an umbrella.

Today is April 20, 4, the Lunar Qingming Festival.

Standing in front of the tombstone, Li Qingye, who had been silent for more than ten minutes, put away the sadness in his eyes, and turned around: "Go back!"

at the same time.

In a factory of Donghua Group in Pengcheng, all employees are working hard overtime.

Kong Zhaolin, who was entrusted with an important task by Wu Heguang, was having a meeting in the factory office at this time.

"Gong Li, what is the current situation of the equipment?"

The skinny middle-aged man rubbed his temples: "It's almost done. The conversion system, synthesis system, secondary conversion system, and control system of the synthetic ammonia production line are all in place. The final inspection is done today, and the factory test can be carried out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. "

"Great, it's not easy!" Kong Zhaolin breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of the fact that there are still nearly two months before the delivery date, a complete set of synthetic ammonia production line needs to be disassembled and repackaged, transported, and assembled in the factory after parts production and customization, parts assembly, complete machine assembly, and complete machine test run.

Although Kaile Company's request is to transport the equipment to the Luzon factory in June this year, Donghua Group will be given three months for installation and commissioning.

But this time is still too tight.

As the chief engineer, Li Xinyi was so busy these days that he was forced by this construction schedule.

At the same time, he was also very dissatisfied with Kong Zhaolin and Wu Heguang, who set the deadline so tight in order to grab the contract.

Kong Zhaolin also saw Li Xinyi's exhaustion and dissatisfaction, and quickly comforted him: "Li Gong has worked hard, and I will ask the company to hold a celebration banquet for everyone later, and bonuses will definitely be indispensable."

"Hehe, thank you so much, Vice President Kong." Li Xinyi still knew some things about the world.

After the two finished chatting about work, they went to the testing ground to inspect together.

This kind of equipment should have been installed in the factory, and then through debugging and trial operation, if there is no problem, it can be delivered to the factory. If there is a problem, the equipment manufacturer needs to solve the problem.

It's just that Kaile Company is in Luzon. If the previous plan is adopted, the construction time of the entire project will at least double.

Therefore, Donghua Group can only choose to manufacture as a whole, test it in its own site, and then disassemble and transport it to the factory in Luzon for reassembly and debugging.

Kong Zhaolin and Li Xinyi inspected it and found that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Li Gong, let's do a test run tomorrow!"

Li Xinyi nodded: "Yes, after all, many problems cannot be seen without actual testing."

This is also the reason why Kong Zhaolin hastily prepared for the test, because time waits for no one. From Pengcheng Railway to Haizhou Port, and then from Haizhou Port to Manila by cargo ship, it takes about 20 to 25 days for the whole journey, which is almost one month removed.

It is now April 4th, and the time left for them is one month.

Within one month, they had to complete the trial run, debug, and solve possible problems, and then disassemble and package, the time was obviously very tight.

Kong Zhaolin, who was worried about problems, even arranged for security guards to be stationed 24 hours a day.

That night.

In the brightly lit test field.

A dozen cockroaches entered the core components of the equipment one after another from corners and crevices.

The goal of these little things is very clear, staring directly at the radiant section of a reformer, and there are hundreds of reformer tubes in the radiant section.

The inside of the reformer tube is filled with a special catalyst, and the inside of the tube is mainly used for the reaction link of hydrocarbons and water vapor.

The outside of the pipeline is a heating furnace, and the operating temperature usually reaches 900-950 degrees Celsius. The pressure inside the pipeline is about 4Mpa, and the operating conditions are relatively harsh.

After the cockroaches got into the heating furnace, they began to cling to the surface of the conversion tube, releasing a stream of mucus. Inside the mucus was a special acid that could absorb the carbon in the alloy steel, thereby destroying the alloy lattice structure.

After more than five hours of corrosion, more than a dozen weak points with a diameter of about one centimeter appeared in the transformation tube.

The cockroaches who completed the task quickly returned to the same route.

The next day, in the morning.

Both Li Xinyi and Kong Zhaolin came to the remote control room of the test site.

"let's start!"

"Yes, Li Gong."

The workers quickly inject the raw materials, and then start to electrify and ventilate.

The people in the test field have already evacuated. After all, this kind of test is risky. Even Li Xinyi, who is full of confidence, dare not stay in the test field.

Anyway, now automation technology and detection technology can use remote control, so no one wants to stay in the test field.

"Stress 1.5..."

"Stress 2..."

"Start injecting..."

With the injection of water vapor and hydrocarbons, the natural gas in the external heating furnace is burning fiercely, causing the temperature and pressure inside the reforming tube to rise rapidly.

There was nothing unusual at first.

Until the 13th minute, under the ravages of high temperature and high pressure, four of the weak points on the wall of the transformation tube cracked.

puff...

The high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor and hydrocarbon gas mixture are quickly ignited by the flame of the heating furnace.

boom……

The terrifying explosion directly tore through the entire heating furnace and reforming furnace, and spread to the casing of the synthesis furnace not far away.

What was even more fatal was that the natural gas pipeline of the heating furnace was broken.

"Damn it! Turn off the natural gas!" Li Xinyi yelled with a pale face.

The employees who woke up from a dream hurriedly closed the gas valve, feeding valve, and coal powder injection valve.

At the same time, the emergency system was activated and began to extinguish the flames.

It's just that at this critical moment, Li Xinyi and Kong Zhaolin sat slumped with bloodless faces, not in the mood to care about the firefighting at all.

"It's over! We're over!" Kong Zhaolin muttered to himself.

Li Xinyi also looked downcast.

If it's other minor problems, it can still be fixed. The problem is that the entire conversion system is now scrapped, and other systems are also damaged to varying degrees. This kind of big problem cannot be solved within a week or two.

Not to mention remanufacturing, just investigating the cause of the accident is enough for them to be busy.

Half an hour later, the flames were extinguished, and the damage could be preliminarily estimated.

Looking at the reforming furnace and heating furnace that were blown to pieces in front of him, Li Xinyi said with trembling lips, "Vice President Kong, this synthetic ammonia production line has been abolished."

"I...I..." Kong Zhaolin almost had a sudden cardiac arrest: "Huhu...what should I do?"

"Vice President Kong, please inform the chairman as soon as possible!" Another executive reminded.

Kong Zhaolin, who has no master, took out his mobile phone but did not make a call for a long time.

Obviously he doesn't know how to report now. Wu Heguang entrusted him with this important task to train him as his successor. Now he messed up the matter, which made Kong Zhaolin not have the courage to tell Wu Heguang about it.

And other people didn't dare to make their own claims, after all, this matter would naturally have to be handled by the person with the highest position on the scene.

Kong Zhaolin took a deep breath, and finally called Wu Heguang.

"Hello... Zhaolin? What's the matter?"

"Uncle!..."

When Wu Heguang on the other side of the phone heard this address, he immediately felt that something was wrong. Usually, Kong Zhaolin seldom called him uncle on the phone or on formal occasions.

"What happened?"

"..."
