The joint venture of Binma Factory is underway. The two parties have established a new joint venture. Dongxing occupies 55% of the shares and Binma Factory 45% of the shares, but the original leadership team has been retained.

The new company was re-registered and changed to Dongxing Bincheng Linen Textile Group, with Liu Shulun as general manager and factory director, and Wang Huashan as deputy general manager and deputy factory director.

One day in early March, Xu Gengming, an explosives expert hired from Beijing Institute of Technology, arrived in Bincheng.

Lin Johnson told the expert in the car: "Professor Xu, we hired you to study the removal methods of the ventilating chambers of 9 dust filters in the flax factory and try to avoid explosion accidents during the removal!"

Xu Gengming nodded and said, "I already know this. I have made some inventions in explosives, but it is the first time I will study how to prevent explosions."

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "We have no choice but to prevent explosions. We cannot find relevant scholars. You have a lot of research on explosives, so we can only find you here."

Xu Gengming nodded and said, "I understand. I will do my best to prevent explosions. This is also an important research topic. It is particularly important in industrial production. This time I came here to understand this and do some research on related topics in the future."

When the car arrived at the Binma Factory, Liu Shulun also met Professor Xu. Next to it was Wang Huashan. After he talked to Lin Johnson, his spirit changed. Lin Johnson gave him great encouragement.

In addition to this group of people, the factory also dispatched the security department and the fire department. Lin Johnson and Johnson attached great importance to explosion prevention. He didn't want any accidents during Professor Xu's investigation. These people wanted to ensure the safety of the personnel.

After the few people shook hands, Xu Gengming stood there and looked at the sky. Everyone didn't know what he was doing. After a while, he only heard him say, "Now is the northeast wind, the wind is 3 to 4, and the climate is dry."

Liu Shulun and others looked at each other for no reason. Xu Gengming said: "Before coming, I looked at foreign research on flax fiber dust storms. During the Spring and Autumn Period, my country has dry matter and dry matter. If hemp dust is accumulated enough, it is very easy to cause explosions. A little Mars or a single static electricity can cause accidents. Your production department should also pay attention to this issue!"

Everyone looked at each other, and Director Liu nodded and said, "Professor Xu, our linen factory usually pays attention to production safety. The factory not only has fire protection facilities, but also has installed a spray system. Once a fire occurs, precipitation will be sprayed in time to eliminate the fire situation!

Lin Qiangsheng pulled the corner of his mouth. Liu Shulun had never encountered a major accident. Once the hemp dust exploded, even the spray system would blow up, so where would there be time to spray water?

After the joint venture, Lin Johnson and Liu Shulun had a dispute over the rebuilding of the factory several times. According to Lin Johnson, the linen factory would be completely stopped, and all the factories were demolished, and more than ten tons of Soviet equipment were excavated, and new equipment was introduced from the West, and new dust filter distribution plans were used.

However, Liu Shulun firmly opposed it. His reason was that the linen factory had a large number of domestic and foreign orders to be completed. If the production was stopped, it would affect the order task. It was okay compared to domestic orders, but if international orders were delayed, foreign customers were likely to ask the company for compensation, so he did not agree to the production suspension and reconstruction and was only willing to make limited improvements.

Lin Johnson would never agree to the limited improvements in the production of the linen factory. In his opinion, the central ventilation chamber buried in the center of the factory is a big bomb. Maybe when will it explode? According to his opinion, it is best to withdraw all the personnel, and then blow it up here to eliminate hidden dangers.

Everyone came to the center of the huge factory. Xu Gengming walked and checked. He stepped on the floor and asked, "Is it here?"

Although the factory has now undergone a large-scale cleaning, Lin Johnson is still a little worried and feels dangerous when he steps on it.

He hurriedly said, "Professor Xu, where you are now, the area one foot thick under your feet is the ventilation chamber, the central ventilation chamber of 9 dust filters!"

Xu Gengming nodded solemnly and said to him: "I want to go down and see, how to go down?"

Lin Qiangsheng asked Liu Shulun again: "General Manager Liu, has the ventilation room been dusted?"

Liu Shulun was still used to others calling him the factory director. Lin Qiangsheng called him twice before he realized it and said, "Before he had time, he had to turn off 9 dust filters to remove the ventilation chamber. How could we afford to delay it!"

Lin Johnson frowned and asked, "I asked you to clean up to eliminate safety hazards, which is also necessary. Shouldn't it be necessary to ensure the safe operation of the factory?"

Liu Shulun also said stubbornly: "You can't stop the equipment, you can't be responsible for the production task if it delays!"

"I was responsible and delayed the delivery date. I bought linen on the market to compensate foreign businessmen!" Lin Johnson was quite angry.

The group looked at the two of them staring at each other with big eyes and small faces, and no one dared to interrupt. One was the factory manager, who had only been in charge of two years but had a strong authority. The other was the new boss, investor, and the entire factory employee's residential buildings were still counting on others.

At this time, Vice President Wang Huashan stood up and tried to relieve the excitement of the two: "There is a window on the door of the central ventilation chamber to observe the situation inside."

He asked Xu Gengming: "Professor Xu, can you watch it outside and observe it?"

Xu Gengming didn't know what to say, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll look at the dust concentration and calculate the experimental data."

Liu Shulun turned his head, but he thought to himself that he asked experts and experimented. It seemed that Lin Johnson-Johnson was serious.

He was very opposed to such a big fight. According to Director Liu, the factory building of the linen factory was large and spacious, and it was very rare for such large-area textile factories in China. The Soviets designed it very strongly at the beginning, and it would be no problem to persist in this quality for another 20 years.

At this time, Xu Gengming said to everyone: "I looked at the design of the factory and found that there was no explosion-proof design here. Large factory buildings of tens of thousands of square meters were connected together. If a fire broke the situation, it would cause multiple workshops. This would definitely not work. To break this integrated layout, it would be best to transform the workshops into independent spaces!"

Lin Qiangsheng glanced at Liu Shulun, and then said to Xu Gengming: "What Professor Xu said is that I want to demolish the factory and rebuild it. I need to re-model the factory and add explosion-proof and fire protection to the design. The Soviets lacked the understanding of this area at the beginning, and now they have corrected it, and we must keep up with the times."

Although Xu Gengming didn't understand the situation of the linen factory, he could tell a little bit by looking at the attitudes of Lin Johnson and the factory leaders. He didn't want to participate in the struggle for power. He said: "Then it may not be necessary to demolish and rebuild it. It would be a pity to demolish such a large factory. We can break the connection channel and then close the workshop and transform it into independent areas, which will make the danger much less."

Liu Shulun was not stupid. Since the experts said that, he slowed down and nodded and said, "I agree with this method. How much does it cost to demolish the factory? If you improve such a large area, you can continue to use it!"

Seeing Liu Shulun say this, Lin Qiangsheng immediately said: "Okay, I agree to improve it. Let the provincial textile research institute come up with a plan, hire Professor Xu as an explosion-proof consultant, and develop an explosion-proof design plan, so as to strive for construction as soon as possible. In addition, you must clean the ventilation chamber before construction!"

Everyone nodded at this time. This plan was better than demolishing it all. At least the factory did not have to shut down work, and everyone accepted it.

He said to Liu Shulun: "General Manager Liu, you must ensure that you arrange production reasonably during the improvement period and ensure product quality!"

Liu Shulun said loudly: "You don't have to worry about this. I can make a military order to ensure that the order task will be completed on time and the factory improvement work will be arranged properly!"

The two of them were more and more prominent than the other, and everyone smiled. Wang Huashan smiled and said, "This is good. Everyone works hard and there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome."

Lin Johnson shook his head with emotion. He had no intention of fighting for power with Liu Shulun, and only hoped that the flax factory would not have an accident. The more it was on the explosion day, it was March 15, the less he would sleep. Only by safely eliminating the explosion hazards can he feel at ease. (To be continued.)
