Chapter 1232: Accidents
Rigushkov quickly quieted the cheering crowd and announced that the experiment would begin immediately.
More than 100 people at the scene, they have been fighting for this radar for more than 10 days, many people have hardly left this large factory for ten days, many people are not sleeping well, eating and making do, for this reason there are more than 10 people who have accumulated work and become ill. The reason why everyone worked so hard was to create a sense of honor in manufacturing the cutting-edge equipment of the Soviet Union, and secondly, it was simply to hope that their equipment could be put into use as soon as possible.
The next experiment was very simple, that is, connect the cables to the two trucks and first test the electrical situation.
Workers stuff some of the burning hot coals into the boiler and gradually boil the water in the pot. If the radar is put on combat readiness, the furnace will always be hot in order to provide a steady stream of electricity.
Its fuel is dry peat, its calorific value is low and impurities are many, not only the coal ash should be cleaned up in time, but the excess black smoke from its combustion can only be discharged into the atmosphere. With radar, this black smoke no longer matters, and even arsenals no longer have to strictly control smoke. The radar will be able to detect enemy aircraft early, and half an hour is enough time for each factory to complete air defense preparations!
"It looks like it takes a while to grill the water! Only when the water is boiling can we start the engine! Popov was smoking, and he was so anxious that he could only complain to his comrades.
Rygushkov, on the other hand, "has been busy for many days, and he is no longer at this moment." Let's just wait. ”
Boiling water was a chore, and it took only ten seconds to connect the cables.
At both ends of the cable are special electrical connectors, which are mated to the interface of the two trucks and are finally fastened by a stainless steel buckle. Because of the need for waterproofing, there is also a wooden cover for protection.
It took half an hour to boil the water, and the long wait made many people stomp their feet in a hurry, and Popov had several more cigarette butts under his feet.
Rygushkov was really envious and jealous of this, this old guy actually had cigarettes to smoke, not only that, but in large quantities. He himself could only take out his old pipe, pinch some tobacco into it, and smoke his dry tobacco.
Finally, the waiting time was over, and a melodious whistle was heard, and the steam engine had reached full power.
"I command! Let's get started! ”
At the command of Rigushkov, the switch controlling the steam generator was turned on. The huge gears began to turn, driving a set of gears, which eventually caused the generator's rotor to spin wildly. For a moment, the neighing of the steam engine was accompanied by the noise of the generator turning. An arc flashed, and then it was as if nothing had happened. In fact, the powerful energy has already entered the radar that the other truck is carrying, only the radar has not yet been turned on.
People were in cheers again because the indicator light on the other end of the cable had been charged!
The experiment was successful, and the steam generator was already providing a stable power supply!
"So far so stable! Comrade Popov! What do you think? ”
"Me? I couldn't be happier! I even want to go to the next step of the experiment! ”
Rygushkov was taken aback: "What's next?" Are we going to turn on the radar now? ”
"Nope! No! First of all, you have to test whether the radar antenna can turn in time! Besides, there are some problems with the current experiment. For example, it's a bit loud and I'm worried that the listeners will be disturbed by it! ”
"It's impossible! Our operating room has a honeycomb wall structure, which is soundproof! Otherwise, you and I will do it ourselves. ”
Therefore, the first to enter the radar operation room were not those radar soldiers, but the radar makers, Popov and Rygushkov.
These two already know a lot about the manufacture of radar, but they lack the knowledge of the correct creation of radar, and it is not surprising that they will cause some trouble, or even accidents!
With their great curiosity and thirst for knowledge, the two began to dial the remote sense. They were in the truck and immediately felt a shaking.
In full view of more than 100 people outdoors, the 10-meter-long radar antenna, which had been deployed, actually began to rotate. They shouted that Ulla was the best proof of this, which made the two people in the operation room fall into extreme excitement and start to move seriously.
"Comrade Popov! Let's just turn on the radar! Maybe we can spot the birds in the sky! ”
Popov had no qualms, he fully supported and even personally handed the headset into the hands of Rygushkov: "Take it with you, it's like operating a radio station." If the radar waves hit an obstacle, the noise can be very loud! ”
"What about you?"
"Of course I'm in charge of turning it on, and keeping an eye on the tube! If there is an obstacle, it will also shine. ”
Operating radar is very simple on the surface, but there are actually many essentials, especially one, because the microwave radiation of radar is a strong energy radiation, and no one can be near the radar antenna. Later generations of children know that the microwave oven in their home is a radar after the transformation, and the so-called radar is also known as the "super microwave oven". People are terrified of the radiation from microwave ovens, let alone radar.
However, people in this era have a strong curiosity about this new thing.
Rigushkov and Popov were so excited that they forgot to disperse the workers who were gathered in front of the radar antenna, and the accident happened.
As Popov pressed the switch of the relay, the radar officially worked. He also flicked a joystick, constantly increasing the frequency of the radar.
Almost instantly, not only did the tubes light up, but the loud noise forced Ryguschkov to immediately take off his headphones.
Immediately after, there was the shouting of the outdoor crowd.
"Oops! Something happened?! Popov, who had a convulsive accident, immediately ran out of the operation room, and in his excitement he did not turn off the radar!
Both of them ran away, and the situation in front of them was terrible.
The sun is still hanging in the sky, the sun is still warm, and under the sunlight, a big tree is actually emitting green smoke. The two stared at each other for half a minute, and suddenly, the big tree actually caught fire! The crowd that once cheered was completely dumbfounded.
"What's going on? What ignites the tree? And ......" Rigushkov also noticed that there were still a couple of wounded here! They guarded the other workers, whose limbs were unusually ruddy, as if they were the result of burns.
Suddenly, Popov shouted: "Oops! I forgot to turn it off! ”
This is how an accident was born, simply because of the carelessness and recklessness of the operator. With Popov's shutdown, no more trees were set on fire.
It was a pine tree that was burning, and its rich pine resin made its fire grow bigger! If the fire continues to grow, it is not impossible for it to turn into a fire that will spread throughout the arsenal.
Fortunately, there were a lot of workers here, and the flames and black smoke quickly attracted the attention of the fighters who had finished their afternoon training.
The soldiers blew up the pot first! Because the place where the fire caught fire was an arsenal!
The soldiers, who knew that the situation was urgent, had no regard for etiquette, and more than a dozen people went crazy and stormed the headquarters, so frightened that the guards simply loaded their bullets!
"Don't be impulsive, what the hell is going on?"
"It's an arsenal! It's on fire there! ”
Next, it was the turn of Yevlov and Fomin, and even the organs and units of the partisan republics to collectively fry the pot. The herald also ran to Yang Mingzhi's dormitory and shouted heartbreakingly: "Report to the commander!" Arsenal! It's on fire! ”
