The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 775 Successful fire extinguishing
It wasn't just the people at the scene who were cheering and celebrating.

Even at the Southwest Associated University Supercomputing Center, the technicians who were involved in the supercomputer simulation of the oil field fire extinguishing plan were cheering and celebrating.

This means that the solution is feasible and their calculations are accurate.

If the fire at the first oil well is extinguished successfully, then extinguishing the fires at subsequent oil wells will be a natural thing.

Liu Tao also smiled and was very excited.

It is feasible in theory, but it is not certain whether it is feasible in practice.

Afterwards, Liu Tao contacted You Zhenye via satellite phone.

Liu Tao congratulated You Zhenye and other firefighting teams for creating a history. They have the courage to fight and struggle.
After contacting the First Oilfield Fire Fighting Brigade, congratulating them and affirming them, Liu Tao then contacted the Second Oilfield Fire Fighting Brigade, informed them of the First Brigade's success, and ordered them to start fire fighting.

A total of ten brigades were organized to extinguish the oil field fire.

Each brigade has a total of one thousand people, including front-line workers, logistics support workers, and so on.

Even though the final fire-fighting only involved the launch of fuel-air explosives and workers cooling down and sealing the oil wells, the previous preparation work actually took several days.

The 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion were the first to arrive in Iraq and to start operations first.

The first brigade will first put out the fire of the first oil well, and once it succeeds, the second brigade will proceed. After all, if the first brigade fails to extinguish the fire, it means that there is a problem with the original plan, and the cause must be found and corrected.

Now that the first battalion has been successful, the second battalion can be deployed.

Even though it was already dark, the fire pillars at the scene made the sky as bright as day.

The second captain "Wei Jun" gave the order, and the water pumps immediately began to pump and spray water. The high temperature turned the sprayed water into white mist.

"emission!"

Unlike the first battalion which was equipped with self-propelled rocket launchers, this time it was the Type 80 main battle tanks that were mobilized.

Dozens of Type 80 main battle tanks had already taken aim, and each Type 80 main battle tank had its own launching area, and the impact points were all calculated.

Each Type 80 main battle tank has only four firing opportunities. As long as one fuel-air explosive bomb does not fall into the calculated position, it may lead to the failure of fire extinguishing.

"emission!"

"咻咻咻~~"

The tank gun barrel fired out and the fuel-air explosive bomb flew out, the scene was extremely spectacular.

If this happened on the battlefield, an entire regiment of troops might be wiped out by just one round of volleys.

After the first shell was fired, while it was still flying in the air, the automatic shell loader had already loaded it and fired the second shell immediately afterwards.

Each tank fired four fuel-air bombs.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

As the fuel-air bombs exploded one after another, a huge mushroom cloud rose up, which was extremely spectacular.

Some even exclaimed: "Mushroom cloud!"

"Artificial sun!"

Everyone was shocked by the scene before them.

Because this scene is so spectacular!
"Damn, if we had fuel-air bombs, even if the Americans prepared 30 body bags, it wouldn't be enough!" An Iraqi military representative watched this scene and couldn't help cursing.

Even though the Gulf War was over, the Iraqi army suffered heavy losses, but they were still holding their breath.

They believe that if the two sides engage in a ground troop battle, Iraq may not be the loser.

The Americans were too despicable. They used their missile and air force advantages to carry out large-scale strategic bombings on Iraq, causing huge losses to Iraq. The CIA agents swallowed hard. They were just watching and were extremely shocked.

If they were there, covered by the mushroom cloud, would they be completely evaporated?

"They really use fuel-air explosives to put out fires, instead of selling them to the Iraqis!" At this time, the CIA agent was very sure that there was no trick involved.

Before this, Americans did not believe Panshan Group’s claims at all.

Because the Americans' fuel-air bombs will only be thrown on the enemy's heads.

Who would have thought that fuel-air explosives could put out fires!
Using fuel-air explosive bombs to put out fires is simply a miracle. In the future, fuel-air explosive bombs can be used to put out oil field fires.

Oil field fires can be extinguished with fuel-air explosives, and forest fires should also be extinguished with fuel-air explosives!

The fuel-air explosive bomb is simply a magical fire-extinguishing weapon!

The second brigade began to advance forward, with water jets continuously shooting forward. They had to seize the time and seal the oil field entrance before the last moment.

As the oil field entrance was successfully blocked, after waiting for two hours, there was no more fire.

Wei Jun held a loud speaker and officially announced that the second battalion had successfully put out the fire.

The workers couldn't help cheering and applauding.

They succeeded!
This makes them full of confidence in the subsequent oil field fire extinguishing.

As long as you are careful and cautious, your life will not be in danger.

The news that the Chinese Fire Fighting Brigade had successfully put out the fire reached Baghdad immediately.

"Great! That's great!" Saddam was very excited. "The Chinese are really good. They put out the fires in two oil fields so quickly. It won't be long before all the fires in the oil fields can be put out."

Saddam was very excited.

The fire at the oil field has been put out, which means Iraq will be able to produce oil again soon.

Even though Europe and the United States have not yet lifted the oil ban on Iraq, Saddam is not afraid. As long as he can produce oil, the worst that can happen is that the middlemen can make a profit from the price difference.

It's not like Iraq hasn't done this before.

"Father, are we really going to give the four oil fields to the Chinese?" Uday couldn't help but ask, "Those four oil fields are rich in oil. It's too cheap for the Chinese."

Uday is Saddam's eldest son and his most beloved son. He took power at a young age and was trained by Saddam as his successor.

Although Iraq is a presidential republic, since Saddam came to power, he has been no different from a king.

Many people even called Saddam "His Majesty the King".

As Saddam's eldest son, Uday has always enjoyed a very high status in Iraq.

Saddam glanced at Uday and said, "Uday, China is our friend!"

"But they also sell weapons to our enemies. If they hadn't sold weapons to the Persians, the Persians would have been defeated by us long ago!" Uday said hatredfully.

Saddam shook his head and said, "They are arms dealers. How can an arms dealer sell arms to only one company? They have been very conscientious by not raising the price at will. Look at the warships we ordered from the Italians, which have not been delivered to us yet!"

"The four oil fields are to be used as interest. After all, we are short of funds now!" Saddam was very open-minded about this.

No matter how good an oil field is, it can only be sold for money if the oil is extracted.

He has access to large loans that will help him get by.

Otherwise, if he asked Europe and the United States for help in putting out the fire, the cost would be at least one or two times higher, and the subsequent post-war reconstruction would probably not be $2500 billion, but $5000 billion or even $7500 billion.
