Monster Factory

Chapter 24: Scoring Seconds

Many chemical raw materials need to be synthesized at specific temperatures to increase molecular activity in the raw materials, increase energy, react with the catalyst, and then transform into another medium substance.

Whether it's a lab, a reactor that's a lot bigger than a pressure cooker, or a large chemical factory, up to dozens of meters, it can reflect hundreds of tons of giant stuff at a time.

But if you're a chemical, you can't leave this tool.

In Ganjie Chemical, the reactor that encountered the malfunction is the steam heating reactor.

This colossal mass is divided into two layers, which, when injected with high pressure steam, can rapidly increase the temperature in the reactor.

Now that the high-pressure steam pipeline is ruptured, a lot of steam leaks out of the lake's heart, and the temperature in the reactor, of course, cannot rise.

“Professor Zhang, Professor Zhang.” The boss Rongwei called in the specialist anxiously: "Do you think you can pause the steam boiler? ”

Professor Zhang, with white hair, walked over and rubbed his forehead full of wrinkles: “The synthesis of diethanolamine is now the last step, entering the reaction kettle to heat to 120 degrees, reacting with the catalyst to dehydrate. ”

“If the temperature doesn't go up, the dehydration step won't work. The active time of the catalyst was only eight hours. It's been an hour now. When the steam is broken, the temperature in the kettle drops rapidly...”

“There is only one hour at most, after the steam can be heated normally, then by increasing the steam pressure to increase the temperature, and the extraction power of the raw material warehouse, it should be able to be saved back, and hopefully later will be elusive. ”

Putting the catalyst in is an irreversible process.

It's like a bullet fired, and once you can't hit the target, it's wasted for nothing.

Catalysts also make sense: once the reaction fails, all the raw materials become obsolete, pollutants that no one knows exactly what they do, and must be destroyed at great cost.

Now, an hour after listening, the boss Rongwei's tears are coming out, grabbing the dragon's underwater infrastructure employee and shouting, “Get ready, I'll cut off the steam immediately. ”

“An hour?” The employees of Giant Dragon Underwater Infrastructure are unhappy again: “Don't say 500,000, give 1 million, can't solve the underwater pipe welding in an hour. ”

“You steam pipe I saw, double layer steel structure. Now there are two broken layers, the top layer must be cut off and the fiberglass cleaned before welding. ”

“I don't have five hours. We're not robots. Besides, even if we can find the robot, it won't be finished for an hour. ”

“A million, I beg of you, I give a million.” The boss Rongwei hated not being able to change his suit and go down with him.

“Do you know how difficult it is to arc underwater welding? ”

Divers of Jurong Underwater Infrastructure, patiently give this Golden Master KP: “In bad luck, dozens of times can arc successfully once, a waterproof welding rod can only be welded a few centimeters underwater, replacement of the welding rod has to float to the surface to replace it. ”

“Of course I know the difficulty, otherwise why would I give a million?” King Rongwei, there's something going on here: “I don't care what you do, weld it in an hour, I'll give you a million. ”

“Get more welding guns and weld them together.” A worker suggested.

“Two welding guns at most, the pipes are so thick, crowded, you play mahjong? ”

One million, it's a small astronomical number, and no underwater construction company can be indifferent to the money.

They were hesitating to pick it up when a small Jianghuai truck arrived at the scene again.

This truck is stamped with [Diversion River Underwater Project]. It appears to be another underwater welding company in Zhongyun. Both Zhongyun companies are here now.

Chairman Li Huaxing immediately greeted everyone with a cigarette, then pointed to the artificial lake and said that the owner of the factory could pay a million dollars if the pipeline was welded properly within an hour.

“Welding should be fine, but not for an hour.” The team manager looked at the fountain-like leaking steam and said patiently, similar to the previous colleague.

Of course, a million dollars is very attractive.

Originally meeting the two enemies' companions, this time actually came together, muttering, why don't we all work together once to see if we can make this million.

“Fight, what if a miracle happens!” The two leading managers quickly reached an agreement.

Ye Qing did not know how to speak at this time. Two professionals came to see if they had drug-like handling equipment or decided to wait and see first.

If they can't, go back on their own.

After all, people do this professionally, they have a lot of equipment, they are alone, go up to blank teeth and say I'm here, it's not convincing.

Oxygen cylinders, electric welders, special underwater welding guns with dozens of metres of pipeline, cutting guns, the equipment is also quickly removed.

Ganjie Chemical's workers have also dragged the power lines long ago, and there are two small boats on the side of the artificial lake that specialize in cleaning up surface garbage.

“Notify the steam boiler room of degassing.” See all processes ready, the boss Rongwei gave the order.

For about a decade or so, the giant fog column in the middle of the lake slowly descended, grunting the water cannon.

On the boat, two divers with expiratory tubes, first fasten the underwater searchlight and then slowly descend with the lit cutting gun.

The artificial lake is large, and the leaking steam has burned some of the green fish that are not in a hurry. But when the steam shut down, the temperature of the entire lake didn't rise too high.

The water temperature of the lake is not high and the pipe temperature near the broken port is not high.

In the light of several high-powered halogen lamps, everyone on the shore could see clearly that two divers had just gone into the water and immediately blew up like cats stepping on their tails.

“Why is the pipe still hot?” The diver threw up his breathing apparatus, grinning his teeth and shouting.

“Waste heat, waste heat!” Rongwei, the owner of the shore, is sweating in a hurry: “This is the pressure pipe, the valves on both sides are closed, just wait for the air pressure to leak out of the pipe. ”

After 10 minutes of waiting, two divers who had not stopped using their feet to test the temperature of the water would not go on.

Listen, the employee keeps reporting temperature changes in the reactor, and Ronway is in a complete hurry: "What are you waiting for? You think I'm asking you to do enough therapy? ”

“You can do it. I'm not iron. This pipe keeps spraying hot water. You want to burn me. ”

Rongwei didn't say anything and let the security guard ride himself on a small boat.

When he reached the leak port, Ronway reached in and tried it, then he was completely silent.

Five minutes later, the lake stopped bubbling. Rongwei looked like a goose who had been shot and suddenly stood up from a small boat.

Two divers also came and lit the cutting gun and slowly went into the water.

How many people have seen underwater cutting?

A large group of workers surrounded the shore, more active than watching the star concert, even the two firefighters who stayed here stretched their necks and looked to the center of the lake.
