Chapter 866: Investigate the Cause
The alchemy factory started production twenty days ago. It started to refine many health-care pills, all of which were very successful. Then, seven days ago, Li Ruitong began to draw a ladle with a gourd based on a foundation-building pill given to him by Li Qingyu, and also tried to refine the foundation-building pill.
The temperature, humidity, pressure, and when to add the medicinal material during the alchemy process are all precisely controlled. Everything was done well. Li Ruitong predicted that the furnace would be able to be opened tomorrow, but unexpectedly, something suddenly happened this morning!
The fifty alchemy furnaces on the five production lines all exploded!
The scene at that time was quite terrifying. The shock waves generated by the explosion of fifty alchemy furnaces directly overturned the roof of the factory! If the operators had not had independent operating rooms, everything would be automated and the consequences would be unimaginable!
"After the incident, I asked someone to protect the scene. I wanted to wait for you to see with my own eyes what went wrong. The operation process was formulated before. After big data analysis, it is the best solution. There should be no problem. If the operation process is really wrong, then what should we do next?" Li Ruitong said with some confusion.
Li Qingyu gently patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, don't mention us, the ancient ancestors, may have no results in their entire lives. How can we do it all at once?"
"You can't say that. When the ancients refining elixirs, there was nothing to learn from. They could only try and make mistakes again and again. However, we already had the foundation-building pill, and knew its ingredients, and basically introduced the process of refining this elixir. This was like drawing a gourd, how could it fail?" Li Ruitong said.
"I feel that failure is not surprising. After all, cultivation is not science, and many things cannot be explained by science. I will go to the scene tomorrow morning to see it, and I hope I can discover something." Li Qingyu said.
"It's not a wish, but a must! We must find the reason, otherwise we will be destined to fail next time." Li Ruitong said with a bitter face.
"Okay, yes, yes! There's nothing I can do with you, an alchemy man." Li Qingyu smiled and said, "By the way, if something happens like this, the relevant departments will definitely step up, right? Should I interfere?"
Li Qingyu was worried that the relevant departments would order the alchemy factory to suspend production and rectify. If this is the case, he could reveal his identity as the Galaxy Fleet.
"Not available for the time being. I am a third young man in Beijing, but I will have fines and suspension of production. I won't stop for a long time and will not have any impact on us. After all, we can't do it now even if we want to resume production as soon as possible." Li Ruitong said.
"That's good." Li Qingyu nodded and said.
When Li Ruitong introduced the situation to Li Qingyu, Yue Zhimei had already gone out to buy a box lunch. After dinner, Li Qingyu went to visit other injured employees.
Although he rarely comes to the factory, he is also a senior manager after all. Those workers were injured in his work for him. If he didn't visit them, Li Qingyu would feel uneasy.
The next morning, Li Qingyu walked out of the hotel door and looked at the still drizzling moderate rain. He couldn't help but feel speechless. It's winter now, and some people have already put on down jackets. It's a bit abnormal to have it so hard this day!
Li Qingyu drove the car that Yue Zhimei gave him last night and went to the factory.
The alchemy plant is located in a county-level industrial park in the suburbs of Hengzhou City.
Hengzhou City has relatively developed tourism and film and television industries, but the industry is a bit lackluster. Li Ruitong chose a small development zone in a surrounding county, so except for their larger factories, there are only a few scattered small factories, which are very empty.
The factory has no courtyard walls, but it just surrounds an iron fence. Through the iron fence, Li Qingyu saw the chaos of the explosion in the factory far away.
The factory has been shut down, and only the security guards in the Security Department are on duty, protecting the entire ruins.
Although Li Qingyu came to the factory few times, he didn't come once. So the security guards all knew Li Qingyu and knew that Li Qingyu was also a major leader of the factory and his status may be higher than Li Ruitong. Therefore, everyone did not dare to neglect. The security captain personally put an umbrella for Li Qingyu and accompanied Li Qingyu to the ruins.
After a close observation, Li Qingyu could even feel the tragic explosion at that time. He saw broken bricks and tiles everywhere. The entire factory building was left with only the main structure intact. The partition wall inside fell down, and the roof of the composite color steel plate was directly overturned, and the twisted and deformed steel beams were smashed down from the top, horizontal and vertical, and messy.
In this ruin, there are many bright steel fragments mixed with, some big and small. The big ones look like a large iron pot in the kitchen, and the small ones are as big as fists. It can only be roughly seen as an arc.
Li Qingyu knew that these steel fragments were the broken pieces of the alchemy furnace after the explosion.
The alchemy furnace in the alchemy factory was designed by Li Ruitong himself. It is not like the one described in Xianxia novels or film and television dramas. It has three legs and two ears, full of ancient atmosphere, but it is an alloy ball with a diameter of about one meter.
The sphere is divided into two parts: upper and lower parts, upper and lower parts are in harmony, and the seal is very tight. It is bright outside and full of metal texture. There are many raised or sunken points on it. These points are either connected to metal lines or pipes. The entire equipment is filled with a high-tech atmosphere.
But now all the breath is gone, all of it has become fragments, mixed in ruins, and under the erosion of the rain, it seems like people talking and talking, mocking Li Qingyu's ignorance.
Li Qingyu bent down and picked up a piece of debris, put them in front of him and observed them carefully.
The fragments are still the same as before, still emitting a cold luster, but the inside is no longer the bright alloy white, but has turned reddish-brown, as if they have made a high-tech coating.
What surprised Li Qingyu was that he could clearly sense that the coating was filled with a faint spiritual energy!
He quickly picked up another piece and took a look. The reddish-brown "coating" inside was still filled with a faint aura!
Li Qingyu was immediately surprised.
You know, the explosion happened yesterday morning. Nearly twenty hours have passed, and it is still raining. There is still a faint spiritual energy on these fragments. This shows that Li Ruitong’s previous alchemy was about to succeed, and I’m afraid the last step was missing - the elixir!
The biggest feature of Foundation Building Pill is its rich spiritual energy! The intensity is higher than that of high-quality spiritual crystals! Moreover, Foundation Building Pill can be swallowed, improves the circulation of human qi and blood, helps people break through bottlenecks, and successfully build the foundation.
However, if a cultivator directly swallows the spirit crystal, it is useless.
But since the production line has tempered the medicinal materials with spiritual energy, why can't the pill be condensed?
Li Qingyu was frowning and thinking, when a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and rumbling away. He couldn't help but subconsciously look up at the sky.
The security captain who stood beside him and held an umbrella for him also looked up at the sky, muttering to himself: "This haunting weather is already winter now, and it's still going on, and the thunder is rumbling. If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. It's not a good sign."
Li Qingyu suddenly felt aroused in his heart and asked, "When did this rain fall?"
