Hundreds of oil wells were ignited, and the sky over the Burgan field was shrouded in black smoke, day and night. From the helicopter, it looks like a black cake with lots of candles lit.

More than $2 million was earned from the eight-day repair, and the project is still continuing, and it will be at least $10 million by the end of the year. Counting the upcoming groundbreaking of 132 thousand volt power lines, as well as the orders just placed by the Saudi National Power Company and the Basic Industries Company, there is no problem in earning 20 million this year.

As soon as he received the call from the charter, he asked his cousin Prince Hadr, who was the head of the Kuwaiti garrison, for a communications company and a helicopter to prepare for the next test.

In front of it was a Kuwaiti military helicopter with Deputy Prime Minister Al-Sabah, Oil Minister Ahmed and the Chief Adviser for Oil Field Fire Fighting. Adair.

Thinking of the old American guy who might block his own financial path, Prince Metbu was angry, and he couldn't help but ask, "Zhang, is that 'Hell Warrior' really that powerful?" ”

"Very powerful."

He glanced at it and said loudly: "In the past few decades, he has been seen at the scene of the most sinister oil well fires around the world, and more than 3,000 oil well fires have been extinguished. In particular, in 1962 in Algeria extinguished Gash . The Tuyir gas fire is still recognized as the largest fire in the world. At that time, the pillar of fire soared into the sky, reaching a height of 240 meters, and burned for 167 days. Glenn saw the flames of the fire from space.

In addition, he was involved in extinguishing the 1979 Gulf Fire and helped extinguish the fire caused by the explosion of a drilling rig in the North Sea in 1988. The disaster killed 167 people. Several U.S. presidents, including Carter, Johnson and George H.W. Bush, have presented him with awards. He is praised for 'saving' more oil than anyone else in the world. ”

To learn more about this competitor. Before Prince Metbu came, he also made a special effort to ask the famous American movie star John Brown. Wayne's movie "Hellwarrior" based on him.

Listen to what the charter says. I secretly thought that I didn't need to watch the movie, but the old American guy seemed to be really powerful.

The two helicopters circled around the 40-meter-high pillar of fire and slowly landed in an open field more than 80 meters away from the BG-44 well numbered in the Burgan oilfield.

Billowing black smoke turns a radius of dozens of kilometers into a dark world. Hundreds of "fire demons" painted the earth a terrifying blood-red, and the noise of the oil wells burning was deafening. The drizzle soon painted people black-headed and black-faced, and the choking exhaust fumes were like chili pepper water pouring into the nose -- the "cake" in the sky became a real "Arabian Nights".

After preparing for the fire for so long, when I saw the oil well that was in flames, I couldn't help but feel nervous: this is a million-ton high-yield oil field, located in a low-lying area, forming an oil lake.

The wellhead is as high as 1800 degrees Celsius, which is the heat of steelmaking! The temperature within 10 meters of the surrounding area reaches 850 degrees Celsius, which is enough to roast people; A waist-deep oil lake surrounded the wellhead, forming a sea of fire......

"Hell Warrior" chose this well. It was clear that I wanted to see the joke of NB Electric.

Red helmet, red clothes, red pants. The red shoes, even the gloves are red, worthy of the "Red Adair".

The world's largest fires have become his "underdogs", and he has won numerous honors in his decades-long career. The bearded Adair was very disdainful of the black-haired, black-eyed, yellow-skinned Asian in front of him, and pointed at the raging fire with his right hand holding the walkie-talkie, and said, "Let's start, I hope you can finish the test in half a month." ”

In the United States, firefighters are the most respected profession, and the president of the United States is only 26th.

He is also a pioneer in the transformation of firefighting technology, successfully extinguishing offshore oil well fires for the first time in the world using diving facilities, and using explosives, water cannons, bulldozers, drilling mud and concrete in a wide range of firefighting practices.

The charter was not angry, and looked at Deputy Prime Minister Sabah and Ahmed Minister of Oil, raised the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Water monster water monster, I am the god of water, please answer if you receive it." ”

The communication equipment used by the Saudi military is all American, and the effect is not good at one or two points, and a clear response immediately came from the walkie-talkie: "The water monster received, the water monster received, the water god, please speak." ”

"I have arrived at the BG-44 well, and the test has officially begun, and it is now timed."

"The water monster understands, the experiment has officially begun, and now the time is keen."

In Adair's opinion, this oil well fire will take at least half a month to extinguish, or when the equipment and water sources are sufficient, thinking of so many oil well fires waiting for him to extinguish, he asked impatiently: "Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Ahmed, are we waiting here?" ”

Seeing that the deputy prime minister and the oil minister looked at him, the charter said confidently: "Our people have investigated, and the damage to the oil pipeline leading here is not very serious, and it takes an hour to rush to repair, two hours to store water, half an hour to extinguish the fire, and at most four hours, without waiting for the blowout control personnel to finish." ”

The test was about whether the oil fire could be extinguished in four months, and Deputy Prime Minister Al-Sabah was very patient and said casually: "Then wait a while." ”

As he was talking, the firefighting convoy that had set off three hours earlier drove over.

Saudi military armoured vehicles opened the road, followed by eighteen flatbed trucks carrying three excavators, four bulldozers and three turbojet tanks tightly wrapped in tarpaulin, as well as a variety of firefighting equipment.

Immediately followed by six fire trucks, six buses at the rear, and before the convoy could stop, more than 100 firefighters in red firefighting uniforms jumped out of the cars and began to work in an orderly manner under the command of several people holding walkie-talkies.

Measuring the wind direction and speed, determining the fire position, the two excavators rumbled, and in the blink of an eye, they dug a few large pits for water storage. More than a dozen firefighters rushed up and spread the plastic sheeting they had prepared into the pit. Prevent water seepage; A dozen small houses improvised assembled from arsonist materials. One every twenty meters along with six fire trucks. It is installed at the upper wind outlet of the fire ground.

The generator set and the high-pressure water pump were lifted off the car one by one by another excavator, and a roll of water pipes was quickly connected, one end was connected to the water pump, and the other end extended to the small house.

As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one.

Adair crossed his arms and said expressionlessly: "It's very professional, but water is not enough for such a fire." ”

In the future, we must not only cooperate, but even accept his guidance. Not wanting to conflict with him, he pointed to the slowly approaching bus and proposed: "Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Ahmed, Mr. Adair, shall we wait in the car?" ”

The old guy's professionalism is admirable, looking at the young men who are installing water cannons, he refused: "The wind direction can change, they are so close to the fire lake, they may be swept into the fire at any time." You get in the car. As the chief adviser of fire extinguishing, I have to keep an eye on it here. ”

"Thank you." The charter glanced at him very sensitively, and raised the walkie-talkie to remind: "Jellyfish jellyfish, I am the god of water, the wind direction here can change, please keep a safe distance." This is Mr. Adair's professional opinion, and again, this is Mr. Adair's professional opinion! ”

"The jellyfish received, the jellyfish received, thanks to Mr. Adair for the reminder, we immediately stepped back fifteen meters."

To everyone's surprise, the charter continued: "Jellyfish Jellyfish, from now on Mr. Adair will take over the command, please pay attention to Mr. Adair's instructions. ”

"Jellyfish understand, jellyfish understand."

"Mr. Adair, you are more suitable for this walkie-talkie than me."

Looking at the look of anticipation in the charter, Adair hesitated for a moment, and finally took over the walkie-talkie: "Jellyfish Jellyfish, I am Red Adair, the left fire shelter is too far forward, it must be withdrawn immediately, it must be withdrawn." ”

"The jellyfish understands, the jellyfish understands, and the left side of the fire peng immediately withdraws."

With no shortage of fame, it's no wonder that the firefighting team he manages never has a major casualty. Because he prepares his measures carefully, he spends weeks debugging the equipment before each work to make sure that each piece of equipment is in the right place.

He also works with rubber-encased tools to prevent secondary fires caused by metal on the tools. He never forgets to point out "be careful", always saying that even if the fire is extinguished, it is still possible for the oil well to rekindle under a little spark.

He didn't get on the bus, he didn't get on the bus, and even Deputy Prime Minister Sabah, Ahmed Oil Minister, and Prince Metbu, who had always been pampered, had no intention of getting on the bus. The logistics staff hurriedly found a few boxes and asked them to sit and wait.

"Jellyfish jellyfish, I am a leech, twelve damaged pipes have been replaced, one minute later, one minute later, please pay attention to safety!"

"Jellyfish received, jellyfish received."

Adair knew what to do and what not to do, as if he hadn't heard anything, and his eyes were fixed on the three tightly wrapped big guys on the truck.

In just a few hours, after inspecting and repairing dozens of kilometers of oil pipelines and installing large water pumps and generator sets at the end, Deputy Prime Minister Al-Sabah was extremely satisfied with the efficiency of NB industrial manufacturing, and secretly decided that even if the experiment was unsuccessful, he would leave them to help Red Adair solve the water supply.

At first, it must have been oil, and the first big pit was prepared for it, and after waiting for about ten minutes, black crude oil gushed out of the mouth of the pipe with a diameter of fifty centimeters.

In order to prevent secondary fires and for the sake of the environment, three oil pumps immediately pumped the oil-water mixture in the pit to a dozen or so newly arrived tankers dozens of meters away, and did not stop working until all the seawater gushed out.

Nearly two hours of water storage was longer than two days, so people waited quietly until the six large pits that were enough to provide water for more than 30 water cannons and six fire trucks were almost full, and the sound of "jellyfish" came from the walkie-talkie.

With the order of the German fire expert, more than 30 water cannons and six fire trucks sprayed dozens of water columns into the sea of fire. However, the fire was so big that it did nothing like a child urinating on a crater.

The charter hurriedly explained: "This is a test of the water, before putting in the vortex firefighting equipment, we must ensure that the other equipment is fine." ”

Deputy Prime Minister Al-Sabah nodded slightly, and was about to say something, when the water stopped, and the tarpaulins on the three turbojet fire tanks were lifted and slowly driven down from the truck under the command of the dispatcher. Another turbojet truck slowly pulled into the position left for it, aiming the tail end of the black P-13-300 turbojet engine at the flames.

With this as Deputy Prime Minister Al-Sabah, Ahmed Oil Minister and Prince Meteb all stood up. I saw that the German commander, codenamed "Jellyfish," pulled out a flare and fired a flare with a "bang," and the deafening roar of the plane's engine could be heard in the distance.

Seven two-phase jets of "exhaust-water mist" shot into the flames at extremely high speed from four directions, and suddenly they were so white that they couldn't see anything clearly. Just when everyone was guessing whether it would work, the roar stopped abruptly, dozens of water jets erupted again, and the fire that was burning more than ten seconds ago was miraculously extinguished.

Ten seconds, just ten seconds!

The efficiency was so high that the "Hell Warrior" was dumbfounded, and he raised the walkie-talkie for a while before shouting: "Jellyfish Jellyfish, I am Red Adair, concentrate ten water cannons to spray the wellhead, concentrate ten water cannons to spray the wellhead, and prevent there from dark fire underground." ”

"Jellyfish understand, jellyfish understand."

Succeeding, Deputy Prime Minister Al-Sabah and Minister of Oil Ahmad were overjoyed, clasped their hands in the charter, and said excitedly: "Allah willing, you can always work miracles!" ”

"Mr. Zhang, the people of Kuwait need your help and need this kind of efficient firefighting equipment."

The charter glanced back at the "Hell Warriors" who were rushing towards the turbojet fire tank, and said sincerely: "Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Ahmed, in addition to this, Mr. Adair's professional advice is needed. ”

"All of them, all of them, you are all Kuwait's best friends."

Thinking that his father and uncle were waiting for news here, Deputy Prime Minister Sabah hurriedly let go of his hand and ordered the guards beside him: "Immediately report the results of the test to the emir and the prime minister, and report it truthfully!" ”

"Yes!"

At the same time, "Jellyfish" Robert was accompanying his idol to visit the NB electric fire extinguisher with an adoring face, and excitedly introduced: "Mr. Adair, they are all modified with turbojet engines disassembled from MiG fighters, and they have no experience in actual combat for the first time. ”

As a fearless firefighting expert, as a pioneer who constantly tries and applies new technologies in the field of oil well firefighting, Adair knows better than anyone how much role turboblast firefighting equipment can play in extinguishing the fires in Kuwait. (To be continued......)
