Chapter 520: Winning in Danger
The first major explosion at the beginning of the petrochemical fire, caused heavy casualties and brought unprecedented catastrophic consequences. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Before Mu Tianyu arrived at the fire scene, he ordered the troops not to act rashly to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
However, after arriving at the fire scene, in the battle to extinguish the fire, in the face of danger and danger everywhere, we must be wise and brave and win in danger.
In a fire, there can be no safety.
And it is often a dilemma, a hard battle, a vicious battle.
As soon as they arrived at the scene of the fire, the crude oil that had exploded and burned violently was like countless wild horses that had escaped from the pipeline, flowing freely along the pipe ditch, gathering into a sea of fire near the sewage outlet, rolling and roaring.
First of all, it is necessary to isolate the sea of fire, and strictly prevent the fire from being discharged from the sewage outlet to the wharf.
Below the pier is the Yangtze River, and several yachts and boats on the river have been hit by the flowing fire dragon thrown by the explosion, hitting and burning.
You can't use water to extinguish such a sea of fire, because the water will raise the level of the sea of fire, and it will soon overflow everywhere, flowing in all directions, and turning into a more violent, more out of control, and greater sea of fire wherever it goes.
You can't use sand to extinguish such a sea of fire, because sand will also raise the level of the sea of fire.
To extinguish such a fire, carbon dioxide is used, and the principle is the suffocation method, which isolates the oxygen in the air, so that the oxygen required for the combustion of combustibles cannot reach the required concentration.
However, it is difficult to create a space in the air without leaving a gap in the air.
To extinguish such a sea of fire, you can use the chemical reaction method. For example, the volatile decomposition of inorganic salts in dry powder reacts chemically with free radicals or active groups produced by fuel during the combustion process, so that the combustion reaction is interrupted and the fire is extinguished.
However, it's hard. In the deep sea of fire, when dry powder extinguishes one fire, another fire is generated. The small piece of oil that covered it spewed out fierce tongues of fire in the blink of an eye.
To extinguish such a fire, the method of suppressing the chain reaction can be adopted. For example, the use of halide fire extinguishing agent is to quickly extinguish the fire by inhibiting the chemical reaction process of combustion and interrupting the combustion reaction chain. In fact, this method is also a chemical fire extinguishing.
However, this is also as difficult as other chemical reaction methods, and the toxic effect of alkyl halides is not obvious in an open space, and there are disadvantages of toxic diffusion.
As soon as Hu Haoran arrived at the scene of the fire, he used a large number of troops to solve this large area of fire, launched a tug-of-war and a war of attrition, and used up all kinds of fire extinguishing agents that could be used.
But the sea of fire still raged wildly, showing no sign of abating.
At the same time, the No. 13 oil storage tank, due to a large explosion in a nearby pipeline, caused a leak that caused a fire.
There are also No. 12 and No. 14 cans around the No. 13 tank, all of which are subject to the high temperature and flying fire carried by the thick smoke, which sharply increases the temperature of the entire tank farm space.
Soon, the No. 13 tank had an abnormal tearing and explosion sound, and the steel frame structure, baffle, and cover around the tank body all had abnormal deformation sounds.
This is a precursor to an explosion that is about to explode.
There are flowing fires all around, and they need to be put out everywhere.
There are not enough troops, there is not enough foam, everything is out of control.
But everything must be resolved as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the No. 13 tank is about to explode, and the No. 12 and No. 14 cans will also bear the brunt and inevitable.
The explosion of the oil and gas storage tank will be an immeasurable disaster!
The Yangtze River is heavily polluted, cities are destroyed, and a large number of people are poisoned......
All the consequences, choose one or the other, it will be a catastrophe!
Mu Tianyu immediately decided to concentrate his efforts first and keep the No. 13 storage tank.
How easy was it to keep the No. 13 tank under the circumstances?
The most direct way is to cool down and physically stop explosion.
Too much cooling water will produce a large amount of steam, which will intensify combustion; The most terrible thing is that the water that falls down raises the level of the flowing fire, which increases the flow and spread of the fire; Foam cooling and fire extinguishing seems to be the only first choice, but the protective baffle, mask, steel frame, etc. of the tank make it impossible to effectively spread the foam to the surface of the tank.
All methods are ineffective, and all consequences are unimaginable!
Hu Haoran proposed that only by quickly climbing to the top of the tank, inserting spray guns around the tank, and continuously flowing a large amount of foam liquid from the top of the tank, can the explosion be effectively delayed.
It's not just a matter of who faces the life-and-death crisis, it's who can accomplish such an impossible task! Able to carry out hand-to-hand combat in the midst of hardship.
Of course, who else could there be?
Mu Tianyu will not let his comrades-in-arms risk climbing the hot steel frame, nor will he let others face the danger of nine deaths and one life. He had no choice, he had to go on it himself!
His feat earned him a fortune in time to delay the explosion of Tank 13.
And the turbojet fire truck, the giant chariot that arrived in time, effectively controlled the fire in the entire fire field, so that the temperature could drop in time.
Tank No. 13 saved!
The leaders of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council are very concerned about the progress of the firefighting work. and issued instructions to ensure the supply of various materials on the front line of fire fighting.
At the same time, condolence messages and commendation orders were developed.
The provincial fire brigade quickly conveyed the instructions of the Party Central Committee and the State Council to Mu Tianyu.
He also ordered him not to hand over the duties of commander-in-chief to others without authorization.
Mu Tianyu understood that this was the leader's concern for him. However, he did not want to repeat the mistakes of the first big bang.
He has to take responsibility for the things that he is sure of, not necessarily that others are sure of.
If he doesn't even know what he is sure of, then he must not let others do it.
However, if he is not sure of what he must do, it must be done by himself!
The adventure must also be his own adventure, and he will never let his comrades and brothers take risks.
The application of turbojet technology played a vital role in this campaign.
Mu Tianyu decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
The oil and gas that is still leaking in large quantities will burn at any time and will come back.
However, the electric switching facilities of the various pipeline valves have been turned into waste in the fire.
It was another hand-to-hand fight, requiring the valve to be manually closed to immediately shut off or weaken the leak.
At this moment, Hu Haoran put the commander-in-chief's armband back on Mu Tianyu's arm.
He said: "This is an order of the head of the headquarters, and no one can fail to carry it out. ”
Mu Tianyu looked at him and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, it's up to you!" ”
"Rest assured, the detachment leader, you have completed the most dangerous and difficult task, let me do the rest of the work!"
"Don't be careless, you must be in a hurry, you must be adaptable at any time, and you can't be reckless."
Hu Haoran led the assault squad soldiers and rushed up.
(Thank you for coming, and ask for a lot of recommendations, a lot of collections, a lot of votes!) )
