The battle situation in Liaodong, when Li Tianyang wrote that word, basically came to an end, and the next day should be the day when Hongmen lurked again, recuperated and rose from the ground.

On the day of the winter solstice of the twentieth year of Chongzhen, Keelung Town ushered in a happy day, and the railway that passed along the coast finally extended from Bengang to Keelung Town.

From now on, travel on Hongmen Dayuan Island is more convenient, originally from Keelung Town to Bengang, you need to sail by waterway, land in Da'an Town and transfer to train, or directly take a boat to Bengang Gang, the time taken by water transportation is still somewhat unsatisfactory.

Nowadays, the train has opened a land channel between Bengang and Keelung Town, which crosses hundreds of miles, which is of great significance between Bengang and Keelung.

This means that the people no longer need to look at the face of the sea, and the time required is more convenient than that of the waterway; The greater benefit is that the transportation channels of the merchants have been broadened, and the materials that can be transported by a locomotive have been refreshed with the continuous improvement of the steam engine, and the carrying capacity has been refreshed, which has been comparable to the freight volume of thousands of sea ships.

For this navigation, Li Tianyang personally attended the opening ceremony of the Keelung Town Railway Station, and helped the first batch of locomotives add a handful of coal to make it burn.

But just when the railway between Bengang and Keelung was opened, a bad news suddenly reached Li Tianyang's ears, which made him happy for two days, and suddenly became heavy.

At the same time, Li Tianyang also took the train that had just opened, and went all the way west to the secret valley where the source of the bad news was located, the Bengang Research and Development Institute.

"Didn't I tell you why such an accident happened again? Be careful before doing any experiments!! ”

The R&D institute and other sites have been expanding, but because many important facilities have been transferred to the hollowed-out interior of the mountainside and underground buildings, the external facilities of the R&D institute are not visible on the surface.

"We don't know, what kind of experiment is that group of guys in the chemistry lab doing this time, making such a big battle?"

Chen Cai is actually very wronged himself, and now with the development of knowledge and technology system, research institutes and other research institutes are no longer in the same scattered and unruly state as they were at the beginning.

Like Chen Cai's group, most of the talents are proficient in physics and machinery, focusing on the development of heavy machinery such as steam engines and textile machines; At the same time, there are other groups in the R&D Institute, some of which specialize in the study of chemical agents and some of which specialize in the development of guns.

The group that had the accident this time was a group that specialized in improving gunpowder under the chemical category, and it can be said that it was not related to Chen Cai's group. In addition to the fact that when approving funds and resources, the person in charge of the team will report the general experimental needs and progress to himself, and the rest of the time, even if they are in the same R&D institute, it is rare to see each other.

Who can spend most of the year hiding in a dark laboratory doing experiments, who is not more or less crazy and crazy? Otherwise, Hongmen would not have developed so rapidly over the years.

"Well, as the dean of the R&D institute, you haven't even fulfilled your function as a dean except for soaking in the laboratory every day, I really doubt your ability!"

Li Tianyang was also angry, and in this accident, almost all of the 17 members of the entire team that developed a new generation of gunpowder were buried in it, and only three or four surviving children were still unconscious, and their injuries were equally serious.

And the most unfortunate thing is that the explosion fluctuations caused by the lock of their experiment this time are so strong, which means that their improvement may indeed have been greatly improved, but with the death of almost all members of this group, perhaps their research results will also die until another group of people follow their path.

"I'm telling you, if the remaining four people have any more mistakes, I'll just ask!!"

Angry is angry, but if he really wants Li Tianyang to punish Chen Cai, he is reluctant, after all, without Chen Cai's efforts over the years, there would be no trains, ships and other things now.

Moreover, what kind of character Chen Cai is, others don't know him Li Tianyang, the brother-in-law, is it still unclear? Otherwise, in order to share Chen Cai's worries, he would not have arranged a vice president, a financial director, and other leadership teams for him, so that he could focus more on research.

"Hmmm! Uh-huh! ”

For the misfortune encountered by his colleagues, Chen Cai's own heart is also sad and heavy, the research and development institute has not appeared in recent years, there are also people who have died because of various accidents, but because everyone has been abiding by the premise of trying their best to ensure safety, the accident caused by it is far less tragic than this time.

But it is precisely because everyone has been a little lax in recent years, and they no longer pay as much attention to safety and other issues as they did at the beginning, perhaps there was this tragic accident.

In this way, Li Tianyang's reprimand of Chen Cai, the dean, is not unreasonable, coupled with the emotional impact of self-blame caused by the sacrifice of colleagues, Chen Cai, the dean who is obsessed with research, also began to reflect on whether he has really been derelict in his duties over the years.

In the medical room of the R&D Institute, the best doctors hastily transferred from Bengang County, with the help of the nurses, carefully examined the four comatose patients who were wrapped in a layer of thin gauze, and then walked out of the medical room to receive Li Tianyang's questioning.

"How's the injured inside?"

Li Tianyang had a heavy heart, he had been mentally prepared to sacrifice on the road of science, but he did not have the imagination of such a tragic accident scene.

Of the seventeen members of the accident laboratory, in addition to the four lucky survivors, only three of the remaining thirteen dead can leave a whole corpse, and the five members in the center of the explosion can no longer find half of their bodies, and only skeletal tissues such as heads and torsos can be found.

"The situation is under control for the time being, but the most important problem now is wound infection, as long as they can survive this, they should be able to save their lives."

Hongmen's proudest medical skill is naturally surgery, and in addition to the four injured members who were injured by the explosion, the rest of the important injuries were injured by the splashing of blast debris, which also happens to be the specialty of the excellent doctors in Bengang.

"But their next lives are afraid of ruining, two of them have been amputated, and the remaining two also have multiple fractures, and the situation of breaking the phase is inevitable."

"And the explosion caused a fire, and they all had varying degrees of burns."
