I really just want to be a scholar

Qin Ke was a little surprised and asked: "Huh? Why do you want to watch our work?"

Qin Xiaoke put his hands behind his back: "Brother, aren't I drawing a cartoon about your and your sister-in-law's scientific research story? You, Grandpa Witten, Uncle Tao, and Grandpa Qiu were all doing research at home. I can draw it at any time. The scene of your work, but now that Grandpa Witten and Uncle Tao have gone back, and you and your sister-in-law are only working in the study, it is no longer interesting to draw. So I thought about following your new team to find new materials. . There are so many new foreigners, maybe they will have more interesting stories. Now many people are following the comics I drew." After saying this, the little girl felt a little proud.

Qin Ke looked at Dajue and said amused: "It's okay, but you don't have to go back to school?"

"I only have a few professional classes a week now. I don't have to go back to school at other times. I just practice by myself. For me, drawing comics is independent practice."

"Okay." In fact, Qin Ke also knew that drawing comics was not the same thing as the sketching and oil painting that Qin Xiaoke needed to practice professionally. However, this girl's interest was here, so Qin Ke followed her.

"Hey, where's my sister-in-law?"

Ning Qingyun smiled sweetly: "Me? Of course I agree. I will always support Xiaoke's dream."

"Yeah, thank you brother and sister-in-law!"

They chatted like this without saying a word, stopping to rest once again. Ten minutes later, the group finally blended in with the crowd and climbed to the top of the mountain.

There were many people in the temple on the top of the mountain, but it was not crowded. After queuing in the main hall for a while, Qin Ke and others went to offer incense.

Qin Ke has no faith in these gods and Buddhas, especially now that he has a deeper understanding of the origin of the universe through independent research, and that even time and space can be interfered with to a certain extent - such as changing the half-life of radioactive elements. ——It’s even more “hehehe” towards the so-called God, God, and the like.

Besides, to put it more arrogantly, he can now be called a "god" to a certain extent - at least that's how the system named his current math level and physics level.

However, Xia people worshiped Buddha not because of their faith, but as a wish for the future, so Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun took a few high-quality incense sticks and lit them with candles in the incense burner, and then worshiped them together.

Looking sideways, Ning Qingyun had her eyes closed and her hands clasped together. Even though she was wearing a human skin hood, Qin Ke could feel the concentration and seriousness.

My own little cabbage is really so serious and cute in everything she does.

Qin Ke couldn't help but smile softly, and clasped his hands like Ning Qingyun. Well, in addition to thanking God for his care for his family, he also made a wish "I hope I can successfully save the world."

——I guess if there really is any extraordinary existence like God, I would probably be dumbfounded when hearing my "grand" wish, right?

After completing the entire process of "returning a wish", Qin Ke took everyone down the mountain to have a picnic and barbecue.

"Brother, let's simmer the sweet potatoes later. Dig a hole in the ground like we did when we were kids and then build a fire over it to simmer..." Qin Xiaoke suggested excitedly.

Before Qin Ke could answer, he suddenly heard the muffled sound of an explosion coming from a dozen steps away, followed by the screams of girls and the exclamations and commotion of the crowd.

The sound seemed to be coming from the side hall or the main door!

There were originally a lot of people in the main hall, but now, in order to avoid the danger over there, they all screamed and swarmed over here. Many people were knocked down, and the scene was chaotic.

Before Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke understood what was happening, Qin Ke reacted the fastest. Almost without thinking, he pulled his wife, children and sister to squat in the corner behind the statue to avoid being knocked down by the chaotic crowd. and trampled.

Xu Hua and Wu Fang, who were originally following them, stepped over and stood in front of them like hills.

Both of them had already touched the handles of the guns at their waists. However, there were too many people around, and it would do more harm than good to draw the guns when the situation was unknown. Therefore, they both calmly watched what happened, using their bodies as shields. All dangers are kept out.

Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke were both very frightened, but probably because of their nature, they almost simultaneously used their bodies to protect the two babies sitting in the stroller.

Ning Qingyun's behavior was a typical example of "being strong as a mother", but Qin Xiaoke actually subconsciously protected Xiaoxiao and Zhengzheng, which made Qin Ke a little surprised and a little emotional when he witnessed this scene.

Unknowingly, the little girl who would only hide behind him and cry, shouting "Brother, Brother" all day long, really grew up and would stand up to protect her family.

At this time, the communicator on Xu Hua's collar rang, and the special service personnel outside reported the situation: "Some building materials were piled in the side hall of the main hall. For unknown reasons, they suddenly exploded and caught fire. The fire is still spreading. There are already people here. Get the fire extinguisher, Xu Hua, what's going on over there? Can you think of a way to protect Academician Qin and the others and leave the hall quickly?"

"We are currently on the right side behind the statue in the main hall. It is relatively safe, but it is difficult to leave. There are too many people here and it is chaotic. If you squeeze out, it is easy to injure the protected objects. Can you tell me which direction the fire is from and how big a threat it poses to our location. ?" Xu Hua was calm.

"The fire is on the left side of the main hall. It should be more than ten meters away from you... Several monks and volunteers came to put out the fire with buckets, ah!"

An exclamation came from the communicator, and almost at the same time, another explosion came from the side hall on the left side of the main hall. Even the ground here shook, and a lot of dust fell from the top of the head, scaring everyone again. There were screams.

Xu Hua's voice finally became nervous: "What happened again?"

"Not only did those buckets of water fail to extinguish the fire, but it caused an explosion. Monks and volunteers were injured. Captain Wei Feng just gave instructions. Group A will first rescue and evacuate the crowd outside the hall, and Group B will participate. Put out the fire, Group C will find a way to join you and protect Academician Qin and the others together..."

Qin Ke had excellent hearing and was close to Xu Hua. Although the surroundings were chaotic and noisy, he still heard these conversations.

The location where they were hiding was relatively safe, and they were protected by Xu Hua and Wu Fang. They didn't have to worry about being knocked down or trampled. Qin Ke whispered to Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke, "Don't move here."

Relying on his agility, he climbed up to the statue in a few seconds and looked out from a high position. Sure enough, through the small door on the left side of the main hall, he saw that the side hall had been illuminated by the fire, and thick smoke was pouring towards the main hall. , Fortunately, there is a small door in the side hall, which is not far from the main hall's main door. The windows around the main hall are wide open, and the smoke is basically blown out. You don't have to worry about being exposed to the toxic smoke while staying in the main hall. "Dazzling white flames... yellowish smoke...?"

Qin Ke observed the fire, and several possible scenarios flashed through his mind. He immediately jumped down and said to Xu Hua: "The fire contains aluminum and sodium. You cannot put it out with water, dry powder fire extinguishers or foam fire extinguishers. You can only use dry sand!" We need to decorate here, and there must be sand nearby! Be sure to use dry sand!”

When Xu Hua saw Qin Ke suddenly climbing high, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The great academician accidentally fell down and was slightly injured. He had to be punished severely!

Fortunately, Qin Ke jumped down without any danger and directly gave him a plan to put out the fire. Although he didn't understand how the great academician made the judgment, Xu Hua still subconsciously followed his instructions.

"Sirius, Academician Qin said, stop using water and fire extinguishers to put out fires immediately. Only use dry sand! Remember, it is dry sand! Academician Qin also said that there should be sand piles for decoration nearby. Can you find any? !”

"Sirius received it! The sand pile has been found, about ten meters away! We will immediately carry out the fire extinguishing according to Academician Qin's plan!"

The action of these special service personnel was still very strong, and the fire was extinguished in less than ten minutes.

Especially during this period, Qin Ke loudly asked everyone in the hall to squat down and cover their mouths and noses with wet towels as much as possible to avoid inhaling toxic gases. Except for a few people who were a little dizzy, most people were safe and sound.

In the end, only three monks and volunteers who participated in the firefighting were slightly injured in this accident, and some people were injured when they were knocked down and trampled, but none of them were life-threatening, which is a great blessing among misfortunes.

After such an episode, Qin Ke and others did not stay on the mountain anymore. Once the fire was under control, they hurriedly left under the escort of Xu Hua and others.

Although this unexpected fire affected the mood of Qin Ke and others to a certain extent, it was still a near miss, especially Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke. They only learned that the fire in the side hall next to them was put out. , were well protected throughout the whole process, and were not frightened in any way, and the two one-and-a-half-year-old babies didn't understand anything. They just looked around curiously throughout the whole process, thinking they were playing some game.

So after Qin Ke asked a few people for their opinions, the upcoming outing and barbecue trip was not canceled and was held as usual at a nearby barbecue venue two kilometers away.

There were not many tourists in this barbecue place, but Wu Fang still led a dozen people around to protect them, while Xu Hua and Wei Feng were reporting work to their superiors through the encrypted line of the satellite phone in the distance - to be precise, Not only Xu Hua was criticized, but Wei Feng, the team leader who coordinated the security forces on the outside, and Zheng Haiqiao, the team leader, were also criticized.

The middle-aged man on the phone was angry: "Are you all pig-headed? If Academician Qin hadn't discovered the abnormality and proposed the correct fire-fighting plan this time, the entire temple might have been burned down! What if Academician Qin was trapped inside? Whatever harm has been done to Academician Ning’s family, you will not be able to redeem it until you die!”

Xu Hua and others were sprayed so hard that they couldn't even breathe. Who knew that the training they received did not involve professional fire extinguishing... The first thing they naturally thought of was using water and fire extinguishers. Who would have thought that there was a large amount of aluminum in the burning material this time? Elements and sodium, can only dry sand be used to extinguish fires?

But this cannot be a reason to defend, because no matter what, they did make mistakes in responding to this accident. If Qin Ke had not pointed out the correct fire extinguishing plan in time, the people in Group B would have sprayed out with fire extinguishers. , it might cause another explosion...

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone was obviously angry. After giving them a lecture, he softened his tone: "Fortunately, you are smart and know how to follow Academician Qin's instructions, otherwise, huh!"

Wei Feng hurriedly said: "That's right, boss, you have been teaching us to listen more to Academician Qin. I told them the same thing. Any opinions put forward by Academician Qin must be implemented unconditionally..."

"Humph, Wei Feng, you have been following Academician Qin for a long time, and you are becoming more and more eloquent. Have you found out the matter?"

Wei Feng smiled and said: "We have investigated clearly. This is indeed an accident, not a conspiracy against Academician Qin's family..."

"Nonsense, if it is a conspiracy against them, your intelligence team will all be held accountable for major mistakes!"

Wei Feng said sarcastically: "Tou, please calm down first..."

"Tell me, what are the results of the investigation?"

"The thing is like this...the main hall of that temple was planned to be renovated to cope with the bad weather of heavy snow and snow that may come next month...but I didn't expect that it caused this accident..."

As Wei Feng said, the investigation results showed that this was indeed a pure accident.

Originally, some construction materials should be stored separately outdoors. The volunteers in the temple felt that they took up space and were unsightly, so they moved them to the corner of the side hall for storage.

As it turned out, the storage location was unlucky. There happened to be a leakage in the switch, which caused sparks to explode. It first ignited some shredded paper, and soon ignited the aluminum alloy plate box, which caused a small explosion and exploded the storage box. In the waterproof paint container, the waterproof paint and the aluminum alloy plate are stuck together.

It just so happened that there was something wrong with the quality of this batch of aluminum alloy plates. The aluminum oxide coating on the surface was not thick enough and was easily burned away at high temperatures. This caused the internal aluminum plates to directly come into contact with the sodium methyl silicate in the waterproof paint to cause a chemical reaction. A large amount of unstable sodium and aluminum elements were isolated.

Not knowing why, the monks and volunteers carried buckets to put out the fire. When the water was poured down, the aluminum and sodium elements exploded twice when they met the water. Not only did they injure people, but they also caused the fire to become even bigger. Until the special service personnel Following Qin Ke's instructions, he quickly used dry sand to extinguish the fire and finally brought the fire under control.

Wei Feng didn't understand many chemical terms very well, so he just read them based on the survey results.

"So, who can't be held responsible for this accident?"

Wei Feng whispered: "Well... it's not impossible to find someone to blame... But we can only hold the manufacturer of that batch of aluminum alloy plates responsible, as well as the temple's poor management..."

Temples have certain management responsibilities, but it is difficult to hold them accountable. There are many volunteers in this temple. It is said that they are devout believers who come to work for the temple on a voluntary basis. They are mainly responsible for cleaning, helping tourists in need, maintaining order in queues, etc., in order to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. These volunteers are basically old men and women with little education. This accident was caused by various coincidences. It is really difficult to hold them accountable. At most, we can only hold the manufacturers of substandard aluminum alloys accountable.

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone also understood and stopped dwelling on the matter. He asked again: "How did Academician Qin know that there was aluminum and sodium in the fire objects?" (End of Chapter)
