Chapter 3 Newtonian Mechanics
"Dingling..." The phone finally rang.
"Uncle, don't go to the gantry crane hoisting site. By the way, let them stop quickly..." Li Rui opened the flip and shouted at the phone.
"Li Rui, what a mess? Why haven't you arrived yet? I notified yesterday that I will accompany Director Liang to conduct research in the enterprise today. Come here quickly. When Director Liang comes down, you will be criticized before you arrive." His voice was low and muddy. It was not my uncle. A fat big round face flashed through Li Rui's mind. This was the voice of his boss Luo Xin, director of the Industrial Department of the Planning Commission. Director Liang in his mouth was Liang Yongqiu, the executive deputy director of the Industrial Department of the Industrial Department. He received bad news from his uncle when he was accompanying Liang Yongqiu for research.
"Lao Liang, I can't come today. Please help me ask for leave." Because of concerns about being busy, Li Rui hung up the phone after saying that.
Although Li Rui is several levels worse than Liang Yongqiu, Liang Yongqiu is the person of Executive Vice Mayor Li Yifeng, and Li Rui is the person of Guo Wending. He didn't want to hum, so Li Rui was even more lazy to deal with him at this time.
Not long after, the phone rang again, "Xiao Rui, what happened?"
Hearing my uncle's voice, Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly: "Where are you, uncle? Don't go to the crane hoisting site."
"I'm on the way, and I'm just two steps away." Li Wenjun said in a slight moment.
"Don't go over, and let them stop quickly. I'm coming over and you're waiting for me." Li Rui's voice was full of anxiety.
"What happened?" Li Wenjun said strangely.
"Ah, I can't explain it clearly on the phone! Don't go over first, call them to inform them to stop first, I'll arrive soon." Li Rui didn't dare to say that the gantry crane was about to collapse, otherwise Li Wenjun would definitely go there.
Li Rui's tone was rapid, and he rarely heard him so serious. Although Li Wenjun was puzzled, he pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the gate of the crane branch."
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui suddenly collapsed on the seat, and then he felt cold and cold sweat had already been wet.
The taxi driver was stimulated by the hundred-dollar bill and drove quickly. Not long after, he arrived at Penggong Group. After Li Rui got off the car, he was about to ask the guard about the location of the crane branch. A Santana came from the factory. Wang Tianyu, who was sitting in the driving position, waved to him and said, "Chen Li, get in the car."
"Chapter Li, you ordered urgently. I drove to catch up with Mr. Li." Although I was disdainful of Li Rui's character, Wang Tianyu, as Li Wenjun's confidant secretary, knew Li Rui's identity. While driving, he said flatteringly.
The person who was interested in revealing the true situation of the accident to Li Rui was Wang Tianyu. Later, when Li Rui asked him to testify, Wang Tianyu retreated, and Li Rui beat him up. Now, thinking about the pressure at the beginning, even the Zhang family didn't want to reach out, let alone Wang Tianyu, a small section-level secretary. Besides, he helped to stop his uncle in time today. Li Rui looked up and patted Wang Tianyu on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Xiao Wang, thank you."
In Wang Tianyu's impression, Li Rui was not only a low character, but also very arrogant and rude. He was never a false color towards himself, his little secretary. Today he actually thanked him so politely, and the sun came out from the west!
"It should be, it should be!" Wang Tianyu said hurriedly.
The factory area of Penggong Group is very large. Along the way, except for the roar of machines coming from the workshops on both sides of the road, everything was as usual and the accident had not happened yet.
"On the side of the gantry crane, Mr. Li has asked me to inform them to stop the hoisting for the time being." Wang Tianyu secretly glanced at the silent Li Rui while driving. He was surprised that this young master Li was like a different person today, and he had to hurry over to stop the hoisting of the gantry crane.
Li Rui nodded. The car slowed down and turned right into the gate of the crane branch. A figure stood there not far from the gate.
The 36-year-old Li Wenjun has a tall figure, thin nose, thin lips, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and slightly curly hair. She is definitely the image of a handsome uncle. Seeing her uncle standing there alively, Li Rui suddenly felt his nose sore and his eyes were blurred.
"What's going on? Why did I stop the gantry crane from hoisting and stop me from going over?" Seeing Li Rui get out of the car, Li Wenjun walked up and asked with a serious expression.
In fact, Li Rui's request was a bit ridiculous. Out of trust in his nephew and cautious intellectuals, Li Wenjun met Li Rui's request, and was also full of questions.
Li Rui suppressed his excitement, turned his mind and said, "When I went out today, I heard that the gantry crane of your group had problems when it was hoisted yesterday evening. Didn't this 300-ton gantry crane be designed and produced by my uncle, so I was anxious after hearing this. And that thing was said to weigh several thousand tons. If it collapsed, it would be a great thing, and people would smash it into meat sauce."
Li Rui deliberately said it very exaggeratedly. When he remembered the real accident that happened back then, he couldn't help but feel chilled.
It is rare for my nephew to care so much about him. Li Wenjun's expression eased, but when Li Rui mentioned that something had happened during the lifting yesterday, his expression turned sober again and asked Wang Tianyu: "What's the problem with the lifting? Has the installation company reported it?"
According to what Li Rui learned about that year, there was already a problem the evening before the collapse, but the machinery installation company of the Mining Bureau responsible for the installation concealed the situation and made another operation error the next morning, which directly led to the accident.
Sure enough, Wang Tianyu shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of any problem."
"Let's go and take a look." Li Wenjun waved his hand decisively.
"Uncle, is there any danger?" Li Rui hurriedly grabbed Li Wenjun and said.
"It's okay, I've asked Xiao Wang to inform the scene to stop." Li Wenjun patted Li Rui's hand and smiled.
The 300-ton gantry crane has a lifting gantry crane of about fifty meters high, a beam span of one hundred meters, and a weight of more than two thousand tons. The gantry on both sides of the hoisting site has been raised high, and the 100-meter-long beam has been lifted to about thirty meters in the air. There are more than a dozen installation workers standing on the gantry frames on both sides, and many people are laying pipelines and wires below.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Rui sighed in his heart, no wonder the heavy casualties were heavy back then. Such a big guy smashed down and led to the collapse of the dragon gates on both sides. How could these people have any way to survive?
"Mr. Li, why did we stop?" A middle-aged man wearing a hard hat and holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, ran over.
Seeing him, Li Rui's eyes suddenly narrowed. This person was no one else and the culprit of the accident. Qi Cunwei, manager of the Machinery Installation Company of Pengzhou Mining Bureau.
"Old Qi, what problems occurred during the lifting yesterday evening? Why didn't you report it?"
As the manager of the machinery installation company of the Mining Bureau directly under the provincial government, Qi Cunwei is at the right level. Besides, Li Wenjun also knows his background, so despite asking questions, his tone is still polite.
Qi Cunwei was stunned and cursed in his heart: I don’t know if it was the talkative person who made this small matter. Li Wenjun has always had strict requirements on quality and safety production. Qi Cunwei quickly explained with a smile: "It’s just some small problems that we can solve, so we didn’t report them."
"What's the problem?" Li Wenjun stared at Qi Cunwei and asked.
Qi Cunwei said carelessly: "It was when I was lifting the beam yesterday evening, the car on the upper part touched the cable wind rope. It was late yesterday, so I stopped. Today I planned to loosen the cable wind rope inside, adjust the angle slightly, and let the car go."
Li Wenjun looked up and looked carefully. Sure enough, the control car on the beam touched the cable rope inside the rigid legs of the gantry and could not get up.
The rigid legs of the gantry crane cannot move, but the design allows for a certain deflection range. During the lifting period, there are two cables and air ropes on both sides to fix them.
"Relax the cable wind rope, is it strong enough to close one? Have you calculated it?" Li Wenjun, a rigorous person, asked with a frown.
"Mr. Li, don't worry! There is absolutely no problem. When our company installed gantry cranes in the past, it usually dealt with this. Besides, the relaxation time is very short, and it will not affect the stability of the rigid legs for only a few minutes." Qi Cunwei said indifferently.
"Don't be so full. This is a 300-ton gantry crane! You used to install only a few tons or dozens of tons. Look at so many people on the scene, once they collapsed, all of them will be ruined." Li Rui, who was standing behind, couldn't help but say. It was because of this attitude that Qi Cunwei believed in "experience" and illegal command that led to the accident.
Qi Cunwei knew Li Rui, the deputy director of the Industrial Department of the Planning Commission, who was not well-known, did not take the initiative to say hello just now. When he heard Li Rui's words, he immediately said with a stern face: "Deputy Director Li, you can't say that. There are two fixed cable ropes on the inside, so it's okay to relax one. Look at the lower part we have the theodolites to measure the benchmark, which can always monitor the deviation."
If Li Wenjun hadn't been there, Qi Cunwei wouldn't even bother to talk nonsense to Li Rui.
Li Wenjun is not very expert in the installation of the gantry crane. Seeing Qi Cunwei full of confidence and confident look, hesitated. After all, the beam has been half hung. If it is put down, recalculated and adjusted the plan, it will inevitably affect the construction period and will also cause some economic losses.
Seeing that Li Wenjun was not speaking, Li Rui hurriedly said, "This is a matter of life. Did Manager Qi graduate from junior high school? Newton's Mechanics says that the force must be equal in size, opposite in direction, and the direction of action is on the same straight line, so that the object can remain stationary or uniform in speed. This is the simplest truth in junior high school physics. You need to relax the cable and wind rope, and no matter whether the other one can withstand the strength, just relax one, the pulling force on both sides will be asymmetric. Not to mention a few minutes, even if you relax a little time, the demonstration of Newton's Mechanics will happen."
Qi Cunwei was speechless by Li Rui. At the same time, he also reminded Li Wenjun that this was a big guy of nearly 2,000 tons. It was indeed a matter of life that was at stake, and there was no chance of luck.
"Li Rui is right! Lao Qi, ask the workers to put down the beam first. The installation plan needs to be adjusted."
