Chapter 650 - 460: It All Starts with the Screen of Smoke_2

"I can only say that with an uncovered entrance, the nozzle should be as close to the interior of the fire scene as possible, constantly adjusting the angle to spray water diagonally against the ceiling. This is a method that can limit the amount of air entrained in the stream and quickly cool down the temperature."

"Moreover, the old pattern of one team covering while another attacks is not immutable. Just design a multifunctional water gun that can jet straight and spray at the same time. It can create a spray pattern, a direct jet, or be designed with a spray on the sides and a direct jet in the middle, allowing for self-cover and attack, enhancing mobility."

"Hmm..."

A multifunctional water gun with direct jet and spray, that’s a good idea.

If there’s an additional gun like this, and if it works well with stable jet pressure, it would undoubtedly be a blessing for understaffed squadrons. Not to mention whether it saves personnel or adds flexibility, just having one fewer cover gun could mean several fewer hose lines to pack up after handling a fire, right?

Discussion gradually picked up, and thoughts became more active. Before the Instructor could take control of the situation, someone else posed a question.

"Should the door be kept open or closed? Do we need to allocate someone to help with opening and closing the door? We’re already short-handed, and now we need to add a Safety Officer just for the door? And if the door is closed, how will we see inside?"

"We don’t necessarily need to add more people," Fang Huai shook his head and said,

"In Europe, there are smoke curtains that can be suspended within the door frame using a pole, easy to hang, and fire-resistant. Once in place, there’s no need for the repetitive task of opening and closing the door.

After a person passes through, the curtain naturally falls back into place. Such a barrier provides a great sense of safety and does not affect entry and exit.

As for the visibility you mentioned, that can be solved by adding a flashlight inside the door."

"Oh..."

They have thought of everything, even the related equipment.

No wonder the Leadership was impressed with him.

At this moment, the Instructor laughed, "Comrade Fang Huai, it’s fine to have ideas, but there is still a distance to making them a reality. I’d like to ask about your creative designs—have you considered the production line? Without procurement orders from the Firefighting Bureau, who will provide the production line for your equipment? Even with procurement, if the equipment doesn’t perform well during testing, who will take responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Huai couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

When he spoke, his words were laced with mockery that had no trace of respect.

"Instructor, do you know what aspect of the Western ideology you admire should we really study?

This smoke curtain wasn’t promoted by the government. The promoter was an insurance company. After research, the insurance company believed that the curtain could better protect homes affected by disasters, so it sponsored the government to buy these smoke curtains. It also sponsored the production of smoke exhaust machines, providing one of these smoke curtains with each positive pressure venting system they sold.

What makes the West open is the lack of intellectual restraints; beneficial ventures are pursued and conditions created to facilitate them, rather than sitting here inventing ten thousand reasons why something can’t be done.

This encouragement of such ideas has also enriched the creativity of modern science, leading to technological leaps.

Of course, since I brought it up, I’ve already thought of a solution. My father’s company is just about to acquire an industrial production line, and I can assure you that both the water gun and the smoke curtain I mentioned will be available in China within six months. As for whether the Firefighting Bureau will procure them, that’s not for me to decide.

Additionally, I will write a detailed report based on today’s discussion for the Leadership, starting with these two classes and the smoke curtain, elaborating on the necessity of promoting Firefighting scientific research and fostering a market for spontaneous private research, rejecting the monopolies of certain companies, and allowing more homegrown companies to profit."

As he spoke, Fang Huai’s tone became increasingly resolute.

Just like that.

The Firefighting equipment company he had been planning, and his advocacy for a better Firefighting research environment, started from this gun, this smoke curtain.

Around him, awe surged wave upon wave.

Damn, what a badass!

Not only does his family have a company, but at the drop of a hat, he’s ready to take action!

And he’s going to write a report for the Leadership!

What is the combination of theory and practice?

This is it!

The Instructor’s face finally couldn’t hold back its expression.

What are you writing a report about? What report are you writing? Are you trying to gather material on me?

When Fang Huai mentioned acquiring industrial production lines, the Instructor finally realized the astonishing power behind this young man.

Yes, he’s just a student, no matter how outstanding, and it would be very difficult to connect with Leadership directly—perhaps his family already had high-level connections!

"Comrade Fang Huai, your words are problematic. Facing issues, no one would stand by uninvolved! However, solving problems requires comprehensive consideration and the use of reasonable methods!

...Nonetheless, the original intention to develop Firefighting public service is good, you are talented, and if you have any thoughts, you can express them. The school’s teaching and research group will support you. Come by the office later, let’s talk."

Admitting weakness in public is impossible.

But the Instructor’s words grew softer, and even his exclamations gradually ceased.

The onlookers weren’t simple students. Recommended cadets needed endorsements from their units, and even without connections, they had to maintain a good relationship with their unit’s Leadership; they all had the knack for reading between the lines.

Who couldn’t see that the Instructor’s attitude had changed?

Each of them internally marveled.

A big boss, this is a big boss.

Fang Huai’s thoughts were actually much more straightforward.

He absolutely had the ability to snitch, and he was definitely going to write the report, not to show off false power.

It was just a matter of how to write it.

At the moment, he was just squinting his eyes, pondering what value he could extract from the Instructor.

After a while, Fang Huai said, "Teacher, I do have an idea, but I’m not sure if your teaching and research group will support it?"
