Chapter 307

One by one, seemingly small flames were extinguished, looking very smooth.

Fang Yang watched them go deeper and deeper, feeling a bit ominous in his heart, and shouted: "Captain Wang, hurry up and persuade them to come back, if the flames rise again in a while, they might not be able to come out."

"This..." Captain Wang was conflicted. They were clearly extinguishing the fire well, and suddenly calling them back, what kind of thing was this.

The main thing was, what could be used to persuade them to come back.

But since Fang Yang spoke, he naturally believed unconditionally.

He could only bite the bullet and walk to the fire brigade team leader to persuade: "That... can you let them withdraw quickly? It's dangerous over there!"

The team leader smiled, full of confidence: "It's okay, firefighters are not afraid of danger, this is our duty."

"But.." Captain Wang couldn't say it: "But if the fire on this side rises again in a while, what if they can't come back?"

"Captain Wang, are you kidding me? The fire has already been extinguished, there's only a little smoke left."

"I'm not kidding you, this is what Fang Yang said. You don't have to believe what I say, but you should believe what he says!"

The team leader was startled upon hearing this and quickly looked at Fang Yang in the crowd.

Immediately after, his brows frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

But the next moment, he quickly picked up the walkie-talkie: "Everyone come back quickly, immediately, immediately to the car, fast!"

The firefighters who were extinguishing the fire were still immersed in joy, and suddenly hearing the captain's order, they were all at a loss, a group of people looking at each other, dumbfounded.

But since it was an order, they had to obey, and immediately all ran back holding water guns.

Fortunately, they didn't go very deep, and they ran back in a while.

However, just as they returned to the vicinity of the fire truck.

The crack closest to them, the original thick smoke, suddenly mixed with flames and floated up.

Immediately after, the flames grew larger and larger, burning directly from the crack like hellfire.

However, only a few seconds later, the adjacent crack also did the same.

Soon, the flames that had been extinguished were all reignited, and even burned more fiercely than before.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The team members were all shocked. Fortunately, they were called back just now, otherwise they would have been trapped inside. Not only would they not be able to extinguish the fire, but they would even be in danger of their lives.

How could they have imagined that the fire that seemed easy to extinguish would reignite so quickly, and the most exaggerated thing was that the fire became larger and larger.

The team leader next to him took a deep breath and glanced at Fang Yang inadvertently.

As a fire-fighting expert, this was the first time they had encountered such a fire.

Even if they encountered coal burning before, they could still extinguish it with water.

But this time it was different. This was the burning of the deep coal layer, which caught him off guard.

It could be said that there were not many people in the world who had extinguished such a fire, because most of the burning coal mines had already been too late when they wanted to extinguish them, and they could only burn while digging, with no other way!

So even if they were professional firefighters, they were helpless against this big fire in a short time!

But the problem was, if it dragged on, by the time they thought of a plan, it would be too late.

Facing this situation, the firefighters looked solemn, helpless in their most proficient field, which made them very uncomfortable.

One of the firefighters said: "Captain, this fire is too big, we need to call more brothers to help extinguish the fire."

The team leader just learned from Captain Wang's communication that this was a coal mine, and it was highly likely that the bottom of the coal mine was burning, so he immediately shook his head: "No! Even if all the fire trucks in Xihe City are called, it can't be extinguished. This fire can't be extinguished with water at all."

"Then what should we do? Just watch it burn?"

Just when everyone was at their wits' end, Fang Yang spoke: "Using water to extinguish the fire is treating the symptoms but not the root cause. So, what we need to extinguish now is not the fire on the surface, but the spontaneous combustion of the deep coal. As long as they don't continue to burn, this fire will automatically extinguish."

The cameraman was dumbfounded and didn't understand at all.

Others were also puzzled, not knowing what Fang Yang was trying to express.

Not extinguishing the fire, how to extinguish the fire, and the one above can't be extinguished, how to extinguish the deep one? This is too contradictory!

The team leader pondered for a while, still a bit puzzled: "Fang Yang, do you have a way to extinguish the fire?"

Fang Yang smiled and nodded: "I said earlier that there are two conditions for coal mine combustion, both of which are indispensable. The first is high temperature, and the second is oxygen!"

"We can't handle the high temperature because it's hot here, and we can't lower the high temperature in the deep coal layer, but we can block them from coming into contact with oxygen. I don't know if you can understand this."

As soon as these words came out, the firefighters' eyes suddenly lit up.

They immediately understood what Fang Yang meant.

The team leader was excited: "I understand! You mean to seal this place completely so that oxygen can't get in, so they will automatically extinguish, right?"

Fang Yang nodded.

However, the team leader hadn't been excited for a few seconds before saying helplessly: "Such a large place, how to seal it? It's hard to achieve!"

"In fact, it's not difficult. I have a plan here, see if it can work!"

The team leader quickly pricked up his ears and nodded vigorously.

"First of all, the most basic condition for coal seam spontaneous combustion is oxygen supply. As long as oxygen is blocked from entering the coal seam, the big fire in the coal seam will naturally extinguish."

"You can make mortar from fly ash, sand, water, loess, etc., and inject the mortar into the spontaneous combustion area inside through drilling technology."

"Blocking the oxygen supply channel, wrapping the coal seam to prevent oxidation, and cooling the temperature of the coal seam can achieve the purpose of coal seam fire extinguishing."

"Fortunately, it's just starting to burn here, and there are no large-scale cracks. As long as there is time, seal all these cracks, and before long, the fire will automatically extinguish."

Captain Wang was stunned: "Is it that simple?"

Before Fang Yang could reply, the team leader next to him slapped his thigh: "Why didn't I think of this? This method is good. This kind of mud can seal the spontaneous combustion layer very well, and don't have to worry about being evaporated! This method is good, I have confidence in it!"

Fang Yang smiled: "Then hurry up and prepare these, if it drags on, the cracks will get bigger and bigger, the spontaneous combustion area will get bigger and bigger, and the manpower and costs consumed will increase exponentially!"

"Right! I'll call the brothers in other places to come and help immediately!"

——【Holy crap! I'm kneeling! This plot twist came way too fast. Facts have proven that believing in Xiang Fangyang leads to eternal life; you have to believe his words, even if they seem wrong on the surface, you still have to believe! Are those haters who were mocking and watching the show feeling the sting on their faces now? Do they feel like they've been slapped hard?】

——【Where is the Environmental Protection Bureau? Don't dare to come over and let them pay a fine? In fact, it's not that complicated to extinguish the fire. Find a helicopter, and I'll pee on it from the helicopter and it

——【I wonder if this kind of fire can be put out with a nuke; didn't it prove last time that nukes are very effective at extinguishing fires? This place doesn't look very large, not even as big as the fire at the factory near us last time, so why does it feel so difficult to put out?】

——【Let me provide some popular science: a nuclear explosion will instantly consume the oxygen in the vicinity, which is a common method for extinguishing fires. But it's useless here because the area of the coal seam spontaneous combustion underneath is too large and too deep; even a nuclear blast couldn't blow out all the coal here at once, unless you used a super-sized one.】

Chen Feng and the others were all a bit stunned!

It was their first time hearing that fire isn't extinguished with water, nor with carbon dioxide or those powders, but with mud slurry.

This already exceeded the scope of their imagination.

They couldn't have thought of this method even if their lives depended on it.

With water being ineffective, they couldn't think of how to put out the fire for a moment.

This fire is different from the natural gas leak last time; even if you threw a nuke into it, not only would it not extinguish the fire, it would make it burn even larger.

And at first glance, this method of Xiang Fangyang's sounds a bit inexplicable.

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed a method that can cure the root cause.

It truly blocks the entry of oxygen from the foundation, thereby stopping the spontaneous combustion.

At the same time, they also understood why it can never be extinguished once it has been burning for a long time.

By then, the entire bottom layer is spontaneously combusting, and there is simply no way to seal off the oxygen.

If you really wanted to force a seal, the cost would be an astronomical figure; it would actually be better not to seal it, just let it burn and race against time.

To see whether it burns faster or they dig faster.

173. On-site firefighting, the public volunteers to help! (Seeking subscriptions)

Thick smoke was rolling on the scene, more and more flames were appearing from the cracks, and the temperature around the entire Flaming Mountain was skyrocketing.

Coupled with the fact that it was the hottest time of the afternoon, a wave of heat could be clearly seen rising from the ground.

It can be said that for every minute delayed, the difficulty of the rescue increases by one point.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for the main rescue force to arrive.

Old Cheng looked at the scene before him with dim eyes, looking like he had lost all hope.

The cameraman sighed and patted his shoulder: "Old Cheng, you should understand now, right!"

"I understand!"

At this moment, his feelings were a mix of everything, with a sense of having lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

He was probably the only person unhappy about digging up a coal mine at Flaming Mountain.

As the person in charge of the scenic area, he was just preparing to make a big move.

As a result, it was already over before it even began.

And it was he himself who had racked his brains to invite Xiang Fangyang to dig; just thinking about it felt ironic.

But since things had come to this, he could only accept his fate, sighing incessantly.
