Chapter 324: Firecracker Workshop

On the second day, when Gao Feng met Uncle Mo again, the two of them seemed to be fine, although the one-night exchange did not make the two of them unify their opinions, but they also let them understand each other, at least psychologically, they were much closer.

A few days passed like this, and two pieces of good news came at the same time. One is that with the joint efforts of Ling Lei and several of his subordinates, a series of firecracker samples were finally produced according to the technical standards of the peak, thus announcing the successful development of new firecrackers.

After watching the fireworks, the group was full of praise. The new firecrackers are small and refined, with little explosion power, but the sound is coherent, loud and crisp, and it is indeed suitable for family or New Year use.

Another news is that with the efforts of Lao Sun Tou and Kong Yue, the construction of the firecracker workshop has been completed and can be used.

These two news came at the same time, and Gao Feng decided to produce a batch of firecrackers before the New Year's Festival, and this task naturally fell on Ling Lei's head.

Ling Lei did not refuse, he gained a lot from the process of making firecrackers, and making firecrackers was just enough to digest what he had learned, so he selected several personnel for training.

Because of the production of thunder and operation specifications, Gao Feng did not take care of it, he wanted to manage whether the production was safe, and it was better not to ensure safe production than not to produce, and the workshop construction in safety production is the most important piece.

With Ling Lei and a few people, Gao Feng inspected the workshop.

The division of labor in the workshop is very fine, there are material room, raw material processing room, testing room, packaging room, assembly room, packaging room, etc., there are more than ten rooms in a row.

There is a nameplate in each room, as well as operating procedures and precautions, and some operating tools are also specially made.

Seeing this, Ling Lei couldn't help but nod secretly, he was also a person from a big workshop, but he had never seen such a meticulous workshop, let alone such an ingenious tool.

However, he still had some questions, so he asked: "Childe, why do you want to set up a grounding copper pillar at the door, and everyone has to touch it when they come in?" In addition, there are also a lot of copper wires in front of each powder table, why is this? ”

This question stunned Gao Feng, and he couldn't help asking, "Isn't there such a facility in the Tokyo Gunpowder Factory?" ”

"This thing is meaningless, of course there is none." Ling Lei said without thinking.

Gao Feng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and he said with a little worry: "It is an important means to prevent fire or explosion accidents. ”

Hearing this, Ling Lei couldn't help but change color, and he asked again urgently: "You said it can prevent fire accidents?" ”

Yes? Gao Feng was stunned again, could it be that there was a fire accident in the Tokyo Gunpowder Factory? This is not a joke, there are so many people there, once an accident happens, the consequences are unimaginable.

Of course, he didn't want to ask directly about this kind of thing, so he had to nod and say: "This is just one of the means, without it, the probability of accidents will be greatly increased, especially in the dry winter, accidents are more likely to occur." ”

Hearing this, Ling Lei showed a trace of fear, but he didn't give up and asked, "Why?" ”

This stopped Gao Feng again, it was a simple truth, but he didn't know how to answer.

It is no wonder that at this time, in addition to the lightning in the sky, there is no concept of electricity, and there is no way to talk about static electricity, and it is impossible to explain the harm and prevention of static electricity.

After thinking about it, Gao Feng said: "In winter, due to the dry weather, our clothes and skin rub against each other to produce a kind of thing, this kind of thing is called static electricity, the interaction of static electricity can make a crackling sound, at night you will also see a fire coming out, and even when you touch a metal object, you will feel numb." When the static electricity accumulates to a certain extent, its energy is very large, and it can even ignite the gunpowder, thus causing a fire or explosion. ”

Although Ling Lei didn't understand what Gao Feng said, he probably understood what it meant, and he couldn't help but say: "There is such a record in Zhang Hua's "Naturalist Chronicles": 'When people comb their hair and take off their clothes, there are those who comb and untie the knots with light, and there are also voices. 'Is it what you call static electricity?' ”

The account is not clear, but it is so, so he replied, "Exactly." ”

Receiving Gao Feng's confirmation, Ling Lei was not only not happy, but said bitterly: "If I had your knowledge earlier, there would not have been that accident in the Tokyo Gunpowder Workshop, that time was really miserable, dozens of people were burned to death, and I also fled after that accident." However, I have always wondered how this fire happened. It doesn't make sense at all! ”

After a pause, Ling Lei stabilized his mood and said: "The gunpowder workshop naturally knows the importance of fire prevention, so the control of fireworks is in place, not to mention that a little bit of fire is brought in, even iron tools are not allowed to be brought in, so there is still a fire, it is really incomprehensible to say to everyone." ”

The friction of iron tools can produce sparks, and it may also ignite gunpowder, so copper tools are used in gunpowder workshops in order to circumvent this, and of course Gao Gao knows this, so it is also stipulated in the precautions. However, he was a little curious, why hadn't he heard of the fire in the gunpowder shop?

As if seeing Gao Feng's doubts, Ling Lei continued: "The Ordnance Supervisor doesn't treat everyone as a human being, so many people were burned to death at that time, in order to keep their official positions, they not only hastily dealt with the aftermath, but even concealed the imperial court, which is really chilling, and I also fled because of this." ”

I see, Gao Feng finally understood everything, but he couldn't do anything about this kind of thing, and he couldn't do anything except sigh.

For what Ling Lei said, everyone sighed for a while, and because they didn't show up, they quickly shifted their targets.

At this time, Han Qiang seemed to notice the difference, and he asked in surprise: "Our doors and windows are all open inward, why are the doors and windows here open outward?" ”

As soon as he reminded him, everyone noticed that this was the case, and sure enough, all the doors and windows were open.

Seeing that everyone looked at each other with questions, Gao Feng had to explain again: "This is easy to understand. Our starting point is to prevent the slightest problem, that is, to anticipate the best way to deal with what happens, and the purpose of opening doors and windows is just that. Everyone thinks, if there is a gunpowder explosion during work, do you say that it is easy to reduce the harm of internal doors and windows or external doors and windows? ”

Ling Lei replied: "Of course, it is an external door and window, the heat at the moment of gunpowder explosion is very large, then it needs a cathartic channel, even if the door and window are closed, it will be instantly washed open, so that the heat flow is dissipated, and the inner door and window is the opposite, that is, it is open, and it will be closed instantly, so that the heat will be trapped in the room, thus causing secondary damage." ”

"Yes, that's a way to reduce casualties by preventing accidents." Gao Feng nodded with satisfaction. (To be continued.) )
