Rising: Ten Thousand Years

Chapter 72: Steam explosion

Views:

"ah!"

Everyone retreated crazily, looking in horror at the steel machinery that was constantly emitting white smoke. He looked at Qin Enze covering his face and rolling on the ground in horror.

Li Zhen's eyes turned red: "Enze!"

He rushed over quickly. Seeing Qin Enze rolling on the ground and about to roll into the fire, Li Zhen quickly grabbed Qin Enze's collar and dragged him back hard.

"Quick, come and help. Quick, put out the fire with sand first, put out the fire."

Li Zhen roared hysterically.

But the crowd around them just kept retreating, and no one came to help at all.

After a moment, the people from the Kyushu Institute of Physics reacted. Their eyes were bloodshot and they rushed out of the crowd to find sand:

"Step aside!"

"Get out of my way!"

“…”

Fang Hanxian rushed over, and together with Li Zhen, dragged Qin Enze out, who was in so much pain that he could only feel the roar.

'bang'

There was another slight explosion, and the steel monster fell apart instantly. The plug broke the buckle and was sprayed out. '簌' A large ball of steam gushes out from the cylinder again. The direction is Li Zhen and Fang Hanxian.

Li Zhen and Fang Hanxian subconsciously lowered their heads and closed their eyes.

They only felt a stream of hot air passing through their bodies, and a moment later, bursts of severe pain came from their exposed skin.

"Ouch!" Fang Hanxian's face turned red in pain, but he grabbed the frantic Fang Hanxian without letting go and kept dragging him further away.

Li Zhen also instantly felt a pinprick-like pain on his shoulders, neck, and hands. The whole person almost lost consciousness under this severe pain.

Qin Enze was howling more and more miserably at this time. He covered his face with his hands and kept struggling on the ground. He kept kicking with his legs and even wanted to hit his head on the ground to relieve the pain.

At this moment, Qi Lengzi ran over quickly, grabbed Qin Enze's collar, picked up Qin Enze and strode away.

"water."

"cold water!"

"quick!"

Li Zhen ripped off his clothes, jumped on his feet and roared.

The teachers and students who were watching were all frightened. They didn't know the principle of the steam engine at all. They only knew that the big thing exploded, which was terrible. No one dared to approach, no one moved, they just kept retreating.

At the critical moment, only the people from Kyushu Institute of Physics will come to help their own people.

At this time, three or five people headed by Liu Jinghong rushed out carrying several large buckets.

"The water is coming!"

As he spoke, Liu Jinghong was about to pour water on the steam engine and the flames. Li Zhen was furious: "Put out the fire with sand! Stupid donkey!"

Liu Jinghong was also anxious. After Li Zhen reminded him, he reacted and immediately understood that water could not be used to cool down and extinguish the fire. When water is poured on the steel, it will boil instantly, creating even greater steam. And if the quality of this steel is not good, it will even explode again due to thermal expansion and contraction. It was just a steam explosion and leak. It would be terrible if the boiling water inside exploded and poured out.

"Here's the water, quick."

Li Zhen roared loudly and grabbed a bucket of cold water anxiously: "Qi Lunzi, take his hands off me!"

Qi Lengzi was ordered to kneel with his legs on Qin Enze's shoulders and push aside his two hands that were tightly covering his cheeks. As soon as he separated Qin Enze's hand, Li Zhen picked up the bucket and poured a bucket of cold water on Qin Enze's head.

"ah!"

Qin Enze didn't know whether he let out a cry of joy or pain, and then passed out.

Li Zhen didn't know whether it was right to treat him with cold water after being burned by steam, or whether it was medically appropriate. But when he saw Qin Enze's pain, he only knew that the screams were like knives gouging out his heart, and he just wanted to make him happy. Cold water will probably relieve the pain.

At this time, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air.

However, Qin Enze's face was completely invisible. The skin on the face was all bright red, and the flesh on the surface had been cooked. Glittering blisters appeared on the eyelids and corners of the mouth. They looked extremely scary, and just looking at them made people feel extremely painful.

"Enze!"

With tears in Li Zhen's eyes, he shook him twice, but felt that Qin Enze's breathing was quite rapid, and he had fallen into a severe coma.

At this time, Xu Shenxue organized the students who reacted in advance and ran over carrying a stretcher:

"Quick, get him on the stretcher. Go find the doctor immediately."

"Go to the doctor."

"Hurry up, or Enze will be disfigured."

"There is no time to delay."

“…”

Everyone scrambled to get Qin Enze onto the stretcher, fearing that Qin Enze would wake up and scratch his face because of the pain. So, his hands and legs were also tied up.

He was afraid that he would lose his mind in severe pain and bite off his tongue. Someone put a towel in his mouth again. He put the stretcher on the carriage and left in a hurry.

Li Zhen watched as Liu Jinghong directed everyone to throw sand on the steam engine and flames. The continuously leaking steam stopped and the fire was extinguished.

The whole person sat on the ground exhausted, feeling extremely tired in his heart.

"Li Zhen, you also need to see a doctor."

Qi Lengzi said with concern.

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly noticed the severe pain in his hands, neck, and shoulders.

He raised his hands and took a look, only to see that large areas of shiny blisters had appeared on the backs of his hands.

He tilted his head and glanced at his shoulders. The same thing happened on his shoulders, with shiny blisters everywhere. When he twisted his neck, the skin on his neck was rubbed, and Li Zhen felt a sharp pain, and his whole body almost went numb.

Turning his head to look at Fang Hanxian, Fang Hanxian was also restless at this time. His body was twitching constantly, and he was shivering for a while. He stretched out his hand to touch it, but he didn't dare to touch it.

Li Zhen sighed: "Forget it, there are still things to take care of. Qi Lengzi, just help me go to the doctor to get some burn medicine and come back."

"That's okay."

Qi Lengzi agreed and left quickly.

In Kyushu, medical technology is underdeveloped because there is no market. Almost all doctors cannot deal with internal diseases and do not understand them. In fact, people in Kyushu rarely suffer from internal diseases.

However, doctors can still play a certain role in treating red wounds and burns.

After a while, Qi Lengzi bought the medicine and came back. Li Zhen and Fang Hanxian had applied the medicine, but they were still in terrible pain and couldn't sit still.

But this was not the time to feel pain. Qi Lengzi whispered to Li Zhen: "Qin Enze is ruined."

"What?"

"The whole face is covered with blisters. The doctor said that the baby's face is ruined and he won't be able to see it in the future. Alas. That baby is the same age as you. She is only 17 this year... and she hasn't married yet."

Li Zhen closed his eyes, sighed deeply, strode into the Kyushu Institute of Physics, and slapped the table: "Meeting!"
