The explosion plan that shocked everyone!
Boom~~
The manager’s words exploded in everyone’s minds like thunder, silent yet deafening.
Fear, dread, shock, and other emotions instantly surged into their hearts.
Recalling how they had stood up one by one, full of youthful vigor, to object, they now found it utterly ridiculous.
Lin Yuan hadn't even said anything yet, but they had already gotten carried away.
Close the live stream?
Do they dare?
If he dares to close it, Lin Yuan would dare to switch companies.
Not only would his treatment not decrease, but he might even receive his bonus early.
Honestly, if it were them, what would they choose?
Undoubtedly, the outcome was already decided.
Only now did they finally understand why the manager immediately suggested closing the other contestants’ live streams.
Closing the other contestants’ live streams would at most result in a loss.
But it wouldn't be a crippling blow.
As long as Lin Yuan was there, popularity would continue to grow steadily.
But if, on the contrary, Lin Yuan’s live stream was closed, it wouldn't be just a small loss.
It would be self-destruction!
There was no need to even think about what to choose!
Someone immediately stood up and loudly declared, “Manager, I support your decision! Close the other contestants’ live streams if necessary!”
“I support it too!”
“Support!”
“Support +1!”
The manager looked at the understanding expressions of the crowd, his face gradually relaxing, and a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Good! It’s fine as long as you understand this principle. Remember, from now on, don’t treat Lin Yuan as a contestant.”
“On the contrary, treat him as a God of Wealth, and worship him! With him here, everyone’s year-end bonus this year will definitely not be small.”
“But if he leaves, you can imagine the consequences yourselves.”
“Now, let’s focus on discussing the negative impacts that might arise if we close the other contestants’ live streams. We must prepare in advance.”
After the commotion just now, the conference room was now peaceful.
They wholeheartedly discussed the matters after closing the live streams.
Although this possibility was not very high, necessary precautions still had to be taken just in case.
An hour later, over a dozen top Experts from West Sea City’s blasting company, along with ten demolition soldiers dispatched by the military, gathered at the site.
When they saw the super aerial bomb in the pit, they all gasped in shock.
This level of bomb, like Li Team, was a first for them.
After listening to Li Team’s explanation, everyone’s expressions became extremely solemn.
Due to time constraints, everyone quickly began a meeting on how to detonate it.
Originally, Lin Yuan was not qualified to participate, but Li Team insisted on dragging him along to observe.
This action immediately drew dissatisfaction from the Experts of the blasting company.
Someone spoke reluctantly, “Li Team, we are all invited here to help. For such a large aerial bomb, no one here has experience, so we must be extremely cautious. Why did you bring a young man here?”
As soon as these words were spoken, several people immediately looked at Lin Yuan with a hint of confusion in their eyes, but they did not voice it directly.
Li Team was momentarily stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and patted Lin Yuan’s shoulder: “Him? He’s not some insignificant young man. That bomb just now, he dug it out!”
Everyone showed strange expressions upon hearing this.
However, that wasn't all. Li Team spoke again: “He also told me the bomb’s model, and he was the first to suggest that it couldn’t be moved and had to be detonated on site. Surely, he can participate in the meeting, right?”
Hiss~~
After hearing Li Team’s explanation, all the blasting Experts were greatly astonished, their eyes wide as they stared at Lin Yuan.
When they heard he dug it out, they didn't think much of it, just bad luck.
But now they were being told that the bomb’s model and the strategy were all proposed by Lin Yuan, which was truly incredible.
Indeed, someone immediately exclaimed in confusion, “Are you kidding? Isn’t he an excavator operator? How could he even understand such high-level knowledge?”
Li Team smiled bitterly and shook his head: “He’s not an excavator operator at all.”
“Ah? Then is he also a blasting Expert?”
“No… he’s a real estate agent!”
Pfft~~
This unexpected answer caused several people to spit out their drinks on the spot.
They all looked at Lin Yuan as if he were a divine being.
Even the person who had originally objected closed his mouth, full of shock.
Fortunately, Li Team quickly smoothed things over, smiling and saying, “Alright, alright. The most urgent task now is to figure out how to detonate the bomb. The nearby residents have all been evacuated, and dragging this out for too long isn’t good.”
Everyone instantly snapped back to attention and began discussing how to detonate it.
Since they were all blasting Experts, they quickly engaged in a heated discussion.
“The problem now is that once it explodes, it will cause immense damage to nearby buildings. If we can’t control the explosion’s power, no one will dare to live in these houses anymore.”
“Fortunately, this spot is over ten meters deep from the road surface. If we dig a few more meters deeper, then even if it explodes, it will minimize the impact waves and fragmentation damage. But how do we solve the vibration after the explosion? Considering a 500-kilogram TNT equivalent explosion, it’s like generating a magnitude 3 earthquake instantly. While it won’t damage the building exteriors, it’s likely to harm the foundations.”
“Moreover, the vibration frequency cannot be ignored. If the earthquake frequency generated by the explosion is close to or matches the natural vibration frequency of nearby buildings, it could very likely cause severe shaking, or even destruction, of the structures.”
“It’s too difficult. Although there’s a favorable terrain, there are simply too many buildings in this location. 500 kilograms of TNT! The shockwave alone is enough to shatter all the glass windows. I really can’t think of any way to detonate it without causing damage. And don’t forget, once it explodes, it’s highly likely to cause pollution in this area. This is a Pedestrian Street, and an underground shopping mall is still under construction. If it gets contaminated, then the demolition will be considered a failure!”
Everyone spoke one after another, the discussion on site was exceptionally intense.
But no matter who it was, no one could come up with a perfect solution.
After all, this place was a Pedestrian Street, and there were simply too many factors to consider.
This demolition not only concerned the property of the surrounding residents but also their professional careers.
This was like a resume report.
If they could perfectly detonate it today, it would be a significant highlight in his career.
But the problem was, it was too difficult!
Time was too tight; there wasn't enough time to think of a complete plan.
If they were given three days or a week, perhaps they could come up with something.
But they could wait, the nearby residents could not.
As long as the bomb remained unresolved, the area within a two-kilometer radius would have to be evacuated, which would cause immense social unrest.
Just as everyone was frowning in distress, Li Team suddenly looked at Lin Yuan, who was dozing off nearby, and quietly leaned over, asking with a smile, “Lin Yuan, why aren’t you speaking? Do you have any suggestions to offer everyone?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy scene instantly quieted down, and everyone looked over curiously.
When they learned that Lin Yuan had discovered the bomb’s model, they no longer dared to underestimate him.
Everyone hoped he could offer some constructive suggestions.
Lin Yuan felt a little embarrassed by everyone’s gaze and gave an awkward smile: “Ah, well… I do have a plan, but I’m not sure if it will work.”
Upon hearing this, Li Team’s expression brightened, and he quickly made a gesture of invitation: “Go ahead… everyone will listen, maybe it really will be useful.”
“Alright…” Lin Yuan pondered for two seconds, then slowly began, “The current problems are nothing more than three: one is solving the explosive shockwave and fragmentation damage, one is solving the vibration caused by the explosion, and the last one is the pollution brought by the explosion.”
“I’ll start by addressing the first problem: dig a few more meters deeper, then apply emulsion explosives, connect the detonating cord, and cover it with a layer of soil.”
“But soil alone isn’t enough; it can’t block the explosive shockwave. So, I suggest adding sandbags and water bags on top of the soil. This way, it can mitigate the second and third waves of impact. However, to be safe, I recommend laying a layer of long bamboo poles on top of the soil first for support, to prevent the bomb from being crushed and detonated by the water bags.”
“As for the second problem, vibration, after digging the bomb pit, you can dig trenches of a certain depth around it. Such anti-vibration trenches can significantly reduce the intensity of seismic waves after the explosion.”
“In addition, the soil walls on both sides of the bomb also need to be dug according to the specifications of a free face, which can also effectively reduce seismic waves.”
“Of course, these two points are far from enough. To ensure sufficient safety, I suggest creating a circle of metal container walls, preferably large ones, to surround the bomb. It can not only withstand pressure but also resist vibration, serving as the final protective wall.”
“This way, the problem of seismic waves should also be resolved, leaving only the last issue of pollution. As for this problem, I think it’s not difficult to solve. It’s all soil, so at worst, we can just dig it all up and transport it away.”
After listening to Lin Yuan’s analysis and plan, everyone was shocked!
They all looked at Lin Yuan as if he were a monster.
Even their breathing slowed, as if time had slowed down countless times.
The next second, Li Team excitedly slapped his thigh: “This is good! This plan is good, it sounds very reasonable just by listening.”
After the others came to their senses, they also nodded excitedly in agreement: “Exactly, why didn’t I think of water bags? Not only can this control the explosive shockwave, but it also won’t cause secondary damage and can effectively control the scattering of fragments.”
“I only thought of anti-vibration trenches and building a chamber to resist vibrations, but building a chamber would take at least ten days to half a month to complete. I never thought there was such a thing as a metal container wall. Using it to resist vibrations is indeed effective, and it can be built much faster.”
“It’s indeed a good plan. I think it can be executed. What about you all?”
“I also think it’s good. At least on paper, all problems can be solved.”
“I agree!”
“Support!”
Li Team looked at the unanimous support, his expression shaken, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.
He had only asked casually, but who would have thought that he would actually ask for a plan that solved all the problems.
It’s not uncommon to propose anti-vibration trenches and free surfaces, but he could even think of something like a metal container wall—is he even human?!
In the past, even when encountering urban demolition, they would at most use some steel plates and wooden boards to enclose the surroundings to ensure safety.
They never even thought of such a miraculous item. That thing is mainly used for storing and containing various substances, and it usually has nothing to do with earthquakes.
However, its original design intention was to resist external pressure, such as earthquakes and explosions, possessing sufficient strength and stability to minimize the outward spread of seismic aftershocks.
Using this thing to resist vibrations, who the hell could have thought of that?
