Chapter 919: A Heavy Lesson

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Qiangsheng came to the provincial government compound early in the morning and met Governor Hou Jie. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hou Jie saw that Lin Qiangsheng was carrying a few boxes of Moutai, and asked in surprise: "You are a rare guest, why did you think of giving me a gift this year?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "Governor Hou, I just came to hang out, I knew you lived here, but I haven't been embarrassed to come." ”

Governor Hou Jie's lover looked at Lin Qiangsheng with a smile on his face and asked: "Xiaolin, our old Hou often mentions you, saying that you are an expert in economic development and managing a large enterprise, I thought it was dozens of years old, but I didn't expect it to be so young!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "Thanks to Governor Hou still thinking about me, the development of our Dongxing Group is also inseparable from the support of the province, and Governor Hou has helped a lot." ”

A nearly 30-year-old woman brought tea, she looked at Lin Qiangsheng curiously, and said, "This little comrade is Lin Qiangsheng. Kyoto has heard your name. ”

Hou Jie introduced Lin Qiangsheng: "This is my daughter Hou Ying, she works in the Ministry of Water Resources, you know each other." ”

Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly got up and shook hands with the woman, and said, "Sister Hou Ying, hello, I am Lin Qiangsheng, how did you know me?" ”

Hou Ying smiled and said: "The young man is quite polite, your Dongxing Group and Bincheng Boiler Factory, Motor Factory, and Turbine Factory have established a joint venture to establish Dongxing Electric, and this year it has contracted a lot of hydropower projects, and your name Lin Qiangsheng is registered in our Ministry of Water Resources!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded with a smile and said, "It turns out that I am so famous, we will have to deal with the Ministry of Water Resources more in the future, I hope Sister Hou Ying will help more!" ”

Hou Ying looked very angry, smiled and nodded: "Okay, your sister is not called in vain, I can help you in the future, I will definitely help you, who will make you have a good relationship with my father." ”

Lin Qiangsheng took out a business card and handed it to her, Hou Ying took it in surprise, nodded and said to him: "Sister's business card is not brought, I'll give it to you later." ”

Hou Jie said at this time: "Xiaolin, what is the matter with you today, you have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and this time you are still bringing Lilly, there must be something, say it!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng pursed his lips and smiled, but he thought about the wording in his heart. On the night of the Spring Festival, he remembered the fire in Daxinganling, and at the same time, his heart suddenly tightened, feeling that there was something happening this year, and it was an extremely bad thing.

The next day, he hurried back to the company to find his diary, which recorded some hidden events, and some memories of his past life.

Turning to 87 years, he remembered it clearly, the explosion of the Bincheng flax factory, he actually forgot it.

Lin Qiangsheng instantly remembered that the impact of this accident was very large, and it was a major event that caused a sensation across the country at that time.

The explosion occurred in the early morning of 3.15, and at about half past two, there was a dust explosion accident at the Hama Factory, and the tremors were felt for several kilometers in the vicinity.

Of course, Lin Qiangsheng has seen such a big event, the scene is very tragic, the explosion started from the 1570 square meters of dust passage through the three workshops of carding, pre-spinning, and preparation, and the air containing flax fiber dust particles suddenly burned and exploded and expanded, producing the explosive force of an atomic bomb, the one-foot-thick cement cover was shattered and arched, the finger-thick steel bar and the cement cast wall were blown up and deformed and collapsed, the machine weighing more than ten tons was thrown into the air, and the powerful air wave washed the glass of the sawtooth roof into slag, Together with the window frames, they flew 100 meters away, and the roofs of 10 neighboring houses collapsed in the flames. The fireballs that rushed out of the ground took off and rolled in the workshop, setting all combustible materials on fire, and in an instant, the 477 workers who were on the night shift were caught in a sea of fire.

Due to the unreasonable design of the factory, the evacuation channels are few, the width is small, and the evacuation distance is long, so after the explosion, it is difficult for many workers in the workshop to evacuate, and they cannot escape from the fire siege. Five workers were unable to find an exit in a panic and were burned to death while holding each other in a clenched position.

During the explosion, the load-bearing wall collapsed, and the floor slabs and unwelded roof panels collapsed, injuring many workers. The explosion in the trench overturned the machinery and equipment, and the people present had no time to avoid it, and were crushed to death and crushed.

At the moment of the explosion, the power stopped, and the spinning workshop was pitch black, and the smoke choked. In the firelight, many of the new female workers panicked, and those who came to their senses kept touching their surroundings with their hands, trying to find the path in the middle of the machine.

The hot machine instantly burned their hands, skin and scalp on their bodies, some were covered in blood, some were burned to the ground, and some were washed out of the fire naked.

Later, firefighters entered the scene to clean up and found that the explosion area was full of stumps and broken arms, as well as carbonized and smashed bodies.

The explosion was quite serious, with a total of 235 casualties, 80 percent of whom were women, 177 burns, 65 serious injuries, and 112 minor injuries, including three pregnant women and one who was six months pregnant. Even those who survive are in pain, some are covered with scars, some have charred hands, some have had their breasts cut off, and some have never been married. In addition, the medical conditions were poor at that time, and most of the wounded who had been treated suffered from hepatitis C or other blood diseases, and some of them were dying of life.

The wounded did not know where these diseases came from, and some of them had undergone several surgeries and blood transfusions, and they could not tell which time they were infected, and they also lost their confidence in life.

Experts who arrived from all over the country, after several months of investigation and experiments, analyzed that the explosion was due to the explosion of flax fiber dust produced by static electricity.

This result shocked the central high-level and the national industrial system, and people couldn't imagine that a small dust could be so powerful!

The Bincheng Linen Factory was the first factory aided by the Soviet Union to China, and it was imported from the Soviet Union from design to construction, from installation to commissioning, as well as the formulation of management models.

In 1951, 180 experts from the Soviet textile industry set out from Moscow to this wasteland southeast of Bencheng, and together with the Chinese people, they established the second largest flax factory in the world after the Soviet Union. But in the 60s, as Sino-Soviet relations entered a frozen period, all technical exchanges were terminated.

In the 70s of the last century, linen became an internationally popular high-end fabric. Over the past 30 years since Bincheng Flax Factory was put into operation in October 1952, it has created an output value of more than 1.7 billion yuan, paid 300 million yuan in profits and taxes to the state, and earned a total of 1.45 billion US dollars.

It can be said that until this explosion, China had no knowledge of dust explosions, and Chinese could not have imagined that this small particle, which is only one thousandth of a centimeter in diameter, has such a huge destructive power.

Shen Kejian, director of the Bincheng Textile Industry Bureau at the time, wrote in the investigation report: "I have not experienced such an accident as a dust explosion, I have not written about it in books, and I have not been taught by teachers, so I don't understand." ”

A pamphlet on dust written by Kharefsov and others in the Soviet Union entitled "Purification of Dusty Air in Textile Enterprises".

Chapter 8 of the book, "Fire Safety Problems in the Operation of Dust Removal Devices and Their Solutions", has the following paragraph: "The hemp fiber dust emitted in the process can form an explosive mixture with the air, and when there is an ignition source, a strong explosive force will be generated. ”

The book was published in the Soviet Union in 1981, and the China Textile Industry Publishing House translated and published it in 1985, and it was only after the explosion that the leaders of the flax factory saw the book, and the Chinese began to pay attention to the dust explosion.

A month after the explosion, two Soviets, one of them, Martsev, the director of the Soviet Machinery Import and Export Company, and the other an engineer Poponovich, came to the Penang Linen Factory, and when they saw the scene so tragically, their eyes turned red and tears dripped down their cheeks.

The burly Maltsev's cheeks twitched, and he couldn't hold back his crying, and everyone who cried was moved, and the two chief engineers cried again.

After looking at the bombed-up plant and equipment, the Soviet expert said with tears in his eyes: "I did not expect the Chinese working class to produce such a good product with such backward equipment, and in our country, similar factories built during the same period have been renovated 8 times, and we have already used the eighth generation of equipment!" ”

In the 38 years from 1949 to 1987, the Soviet Union has undergone eight technological transformations. The Bincheng flax factory was designed and built in 1950, and the 37,000 square meters of large factories were connected together, and the flax dust was also concentrated together, especially the central ventilation chamber of 9 dust filters with explosive hazard was arranged in the center of the plant, which was equivalent to burying the explosives in the underground of the flax factory, and the workers worked day and night on the lid of the explosives storehouse.

The Soviet Union lacked awareness of the danger of flax dust explosions, and explosion-proof measures were omitted from the design. It was not until 1972, after two dust explosions in the Soviet Union, that a decree on fire safety in textile enterprises was promulgated for the reconstruction and reconstruction of textile enterprises.

At this time, China still did not pay attention to the dust explosion accident, the equipment has been used for more than 30 years, and there is rarely a thorough dust cleaning in the middle, and technological innovation is almost stagnant!

This lesson is profound, industrial safety negligence, once it breaks out, it is an unimaginable catastrophe. The explosion of the Bincheng flax factory is also the most serious accident of its kind in the world, and it has taught China's industrial safety a heavy lesson! (To be continued.) )
