Chapter 86: Applause
Translated by me, edited by drpetro.
When Shi Yuqing got back into the surgery room, he told Doctor Shi to wait another 20 minutes.
“What is this bullshit, you even said it yourself that mechanical cutters needed 5 to 6 hours to cut through.” The other doctor was irritated to the point of going nuts: “Wasting this much time, if something does happen, who’s responsible?”
“I trust him, he’s a man with a good heart.” Shi Yuqing straight up ignored this doctor.
Doctor Shi took another look through the endoscope to observe the condition of An Sinian’s hand: “The little girl’s hand has already turned completely purple, I can only give another 30 minutes before a final decision needs to be made.”
“Team leader, how many times have we cut these things open? So where is the need to question our knowledge of whether this is cuttable?” The other two firefighters were somewhat hesitant. It wasn’t that they fear the blame, but rather feel sorry for the little girl who was just laying there on the surgery table. What’s more was that the longer the wait, the more likely unforeseen mishaps would occur.
“He says 20 minutes, so we’ll wait 20 minutes, just for the chance to rescue this little girl.” Shi Yuqing believed in Ye Qing, because the mechanical cutter advertisements on his minivan, showed how much more experienced in the field he was compared to himself.
When the electric clock on the wall displayed the passing of 17 minutes, knocking noise could be heard coming from the door of the surgery room.
The nurse opened the door to take a look. That young man from before was back, and with him was a very high tech looking machine that was just like the regular anesthetic
The nurse, without any knowledge in the mechanical sector, could still recognise that the machine wasn’t a mechanical cutter at all.
But with no time left for the regular disinfection procedures, the nurse directly gave Ye Qing a set of surgery cloth and mask.
Team leader Shi Yuqing and the other 2 firefighters’ happy and relieved expression were replaced by ones full of shock and amazement, as they ignorantly looked at the unknown machine.
It was a small, but compact machine with extremely high levels of complexity. Below its square ish base were 4 wheels, one in each corner. It had 8 hydralic like presses right above them, and a workbench at the top connected to many sturdy looking black tubes.
“Didn’t you say you’ll be operating mechanical cutters?” Even Shi Yuqing, who knew of many cutting methods, couldn’t help but ask Ye Qing such a question cluelessly.
“Who said I would use mechanical cutters?” Ye Qing quickly placed the machine right next to the surgery table, and had the nurse bring over two buckets of water.
“You you you…… Without a mechanical cutter, how are you going to cut?” The other doctor obviously couldn’t get his mind around the corner: “What is this thing, and why do you need buckets of water?”
Ye Qing didn’t bother responding to him, rather he looked at An Sinian.
Right now An Sinian had already tightly closed her eyes, to bear with the pain. After such a long time had passed, she didn’t have the strength to spare to keep her eyes open.
The nurses hurriedly left to get the needed water, while Ye Qing pulled out the power cord for the machine.
“Alright let me fill you in, this piece of equipment, is called the computer guided ultra high pressure water cutter.” Ye QIng having connected the power, started the computer guidance system: “You guys see the many pressure cylinders underneath it yet? They can pressurise water to 380 MPa, and can be released through those jet hoses above. The release velocity of the water jet released is generally 3 times that of a handgun bullet when fired.” [Tl: 380 MPa -> 55114.34 Psi, in contrast 1 Atmosphere -> 14.7 Psi]
“Although mechanical cutters can quickly cut through stainless steel, they create lots of residual heat. The heat can only be released or transferred by spraying water on the blades. Not only does that mean starting and stopping while working, but it also wastes tons of precious time.”
“Pressurised water cutters can do the job without the need for heat creation.”
Pressurised water cutters……
Everyone was dumbstruck, when several of the firefighters were getting training in factory fire prevention, they also witnessed a pressurised water cutter at work within Huaxing Heavy Industry. Yet this kind of metal cutter equipment, not only was it cumbersome to move, it was also super super expensive.
As for the machine in front of them?
It was compact to the point of being able to be randomly placed in the back seat of a car without any problem.
Yet the water shoot out by pressurised water cutters could definitely penetrate through the stainless steel.
For a water jet that could penetrate through stainless steel, what kind of result would occur when it was shoot at human bodies?
The nurses quickly brought over two buckets of water, Ye Qing unable to fully explain everything, used a makeshift ruler to measure the thickness of the stainless steel clump, and quickly entered his eye balled results into the control system.
Yes!
If this was a regular computer guided pressurised water cutter, then it would be next to impossible for it to cut open stainless steel without damaging the insides.
But this compact pressurised water cutter of Ye Qing’s was a rare quality tool from the Monster Factory’s tool market.
It could use the entered or sensed data to automatically adjust the depth of the cut and the needed pressure, to be just like an engraver, cutting away only what was needed.
The height of the surgery table was also adjustable, so Ye Qing had the nurses change its height to be the exact same as this pressurised water cutter, then used surgical cloth to isolate the workbench; preventing any water from being shoot at An Sinian’s body.
