Chapter 516 Fire Drill
"Hey, confused, this fire is a natural disaster! It means that the gods are dissatisfied with me, Daqin, so they deliberately lowered the fire to punish. What should be done at this time is to sacrifice the heaven and the earth to comfort the wrath of the gods. How can you just think about it?" Extinguish it, if His Royal Highness acts against the law like this, sooner or later our Great Qin will be finished!"
"Where is the remnant of superstition coming here to talk nonsense?"
"Damn! If His Royal Highness listens to you, then we Daqin are really going to die!"
"Come, come, tell me where your home is, and I'll set the fire right now. I'll tell you that the heavens ordered me to do this. It's the gods who are dissatisfied with you. I think you will sacrifice to the heaven and the earth at that time. It is still necessary to put out the fire immediately!"
Ever since Ying Zheng promulgated the religious reform regulations at Ying Yu's suggestion, Daqin is no longer the age of ignorance where all can only be attributed to miracles because they cannot explain the principle of natural disasters.
Especially when private schools, universities and other educational institutions began to teach modern scientific knowledge, the feudal and superstitious thoughts in the minds of the people of Daqin have been diluted a lot, and most people are more focused on scientific things in their hearts.
Moreover, after the foreign religious sects were suppressed, Daoist Daoism in Daqin had once again grown into the largest religious sect.
Conforming to the attitude of doing nothing to govern, Taoism not only does not reject modern science, but also actively participates in scientific research, and imparts corresponding scientific ideas and knowledge to believers.
Therefore, under such an atmosphere, a few treacherous people who tried to disturb people's hearts could only flee like rats crossing the street amidst the sound of crusade by the people.
"Speaking of which, what is the new steam fire engine mentioned in this announcement, why have I never heard of it?"
"It is said that this steam fire truck is a new type of fire extinguishing vehicle designed by His Royal Highness alone, and its function is roughly similar to that of a water dragon."
"It's the same as a water dragon? Let's forget about it. Back then, my shop caught fire, and the water dragon crawled like a turtle. Half of my shop was burned down, so Shanshan came late, so I just let it go." I pour some water, but the shop still burnt down in the end, hey, just mentioning it makes my heart ache!"
"Hey, this old man must be ignorant. Although this steam fire truck has the same function as a water dragon, it is used to put out fires, but its fire extinguishing efficiency is more than a hundred times better than that of a water dragon!"
"Hundred times? Hehe, bragging!"
"What am I talking about, my son works in a place where steam fire trucks are manufactured, and he even went up there to test drive it himself, I don't know you yet?
"There's nothing to argue about. Anyway, the fire drill will start soon. Once the steam fire engine is demonstrated, it will be clear at a glance how well it actually works."
"However, I still have confidence in His Royal Highness. The things that come out of his hands are always ingenious and comparable to miracles. I believe this time will be no exception!"
......
As soon as the announcement was released, it was surrounded by the crowd, and everyone happily discussed about the fire drill.
In addition to the strong curiosity about the steam fire engine, there is also the excitement that I have the opportunity to see the true faces of His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the date of the fire drill.
People are looking forward to this fire drill.
The south gate of Xianyang City, the street that was burned in the fire a few days ago is being rebuilt.
Under the high attention of Ying Yu and Ying Zheng, all the victims of the disaster in the street have been well resettled. Although it is not a big fish, it is absolutely necessary to have enough food and clothing.
Under the leadership of Xiao He, the post-disaster reconstruction work is also in full swing.
In Daqin, which is full of various modern technologies, even the efficiency of building houses is ahead of the world. Sturdy bricks and wood are transported by rail, and these bricks and wood are dragged to the reconstruction site by steam cars.
There are also pulley hooks made of fine iron. Under the power of the steam turbine, thousands of catties of building materials can be easily placed in the required area. Efficiency has naturally been greatly improved.
Therefore, not long after that, the shape of the new street has begun to take shape, all of which show the world's number one 'Daqin Speed'!
I believe that it won't be long before a fire-proof street with a new look and a new concept of fire prevention will appear in front of everyone.
at the same time.
Not far from this street, a house that had already been built by the soldiers appeared in the center of the street.
This house is the house that will be used for today's fire drill.
In order to be closer to reality, the type of this house is the most common wooden house in Daqin. The house structure is all made of wood, which is basically the same as the houses that ordinary people live in.
In addition, in order to reflect the power of the steam fire engine to a greater extent, Ying Yu also specifically proposed to Li Si to increase the difficulty. For this reason, the sergeants specially set up a more complex interior on the basis of this house. double-storey attic structure.
The double-storey attic structure has always been the most difficult house structure to deal with in a fire, because generally the load-bearing columns of the double-storey attic are set up at the bottom.
Once the house catches fire, the load-bearing columns will break. The general house is still supported by four walls, but the double-storey attic will collapse immediately, posing a great threat to the lives and properties of people trapped in the fire.
For this reason, if you want to treat the fire of the double-layer attic structure, the requirements for the fire extinguishing time are extremely strict.
However, it is precisely because he knows how difficult it is to rescue this kind of fire that Ying Yu deliberately added it to the house structure for the fire drill, otherwise how can he reflect the power of the steam fire engine?
"Please don't be crowded, and stay in your place in an orderly manner."
Xiao He shouted at the scene of the fire drill.
At this time, since the news of the upcoming fire drill has already been spread through the announcement, the area where the fire drill is about to be held has been surrounded by the people.
Except for the houses used to demonstrate the fire, there are almost no places to stand around.
Even the sergeants who were responsible for maintaining order were directly squeezed into the crowd of common people and could not move. The traffic could be said to be completely paralyzed!
In order to maintain the order at the scene, Xiao He had to send more than a dozen teams of sergeants there.
After all, His Majesty Shihuang and the crown prince are coming later, if they see the chaos of the people at the scene, what if he is held accountable for his ineffectiveness!
