The Amazing son in law Chapter 7070
At precisely four o’clock in the afternoon,
the freight train belonging to the Moroccan National Railway arrived right on schedule at Duke Mining.
The Cavalry Guards from the Third Battalion expertly guided the train to the platform, following their established procedures. Once the train detached its empty wagons, they assisted the locomotive in turning around and slowly pulled the loaded phosphate off the platform.
Yin Xiaoyang, overseeing transportation with the Cavalry Guards, stood on the platform, his heart racing with excitement as he watched the train gradually pick up speed and move away. He felt an overwhelming urge to cheer.
With the train now gone, the team was left with one crucial task: preparing for evacuation!
For generations, they had longed to break free from the oppressive control of the Broken Qing Society, and now, with only a few hours left, that dream was within reach.
After the train departed, the engineering machinery in the mining area continued to operate. As darkness fell, the Cavalry Guards of the First Battalion maneuvered the machinery to the open space beneath the office building.
One by one, heavy pieces of equipment gathered closely together, creating a magnificent sight.
Meanwhile, the Cavalry Guards of the Third Battalion began connecting the oil pipeline.
Duke Mining housed a significant amount of construction machinery and vehicles that required refueling, leading to an extensive fuel reserve, primarily diesel, which made up 60% to 70% of the total reserves, with the remainder being gasoline.
Given that diesel is less flammable under normal conditions, the Cavalry Guards transferred all the diesel into large, sealed containers located in the mine and processing plant before igniting it in large quantities. Yin Xiaoyang explained to Charlie: “Mr. Wade, the high temperature and pressure produced by burning gasoline will elevate the temperature and pressure of these sealed and semi-sealed diesel containers, making ignition inevitable.”
Charlie nodded in agreement and asked, “Will this fuel be enough to turn the entire Duke Mining into ashes?”
With enthusiasm, Yin Xiaoyang replied, “Absolutely! Such a massive amount of oil ignited underground will certainly incinerate all combustible materials in the mine, and the steel structures will be severely affected as well. Under high temperatures, the steel supports will lose their strength, leading to a collapse of the entire mine, similar to how skyscrapers fell during 9/11 in the United States. I am very confident about this, especially since most of the construction was overseen by the supervisor.”
He continued, “Furthermore, the refinery buildings are primarily steel structures. High temperatures will cause the load-bearing components to deteriorate rapidly. If the fire lasts for just a few minutes, a collapse is inevitable. The main office building is a steel-concrete structure with low floors, so while it may not burn easily, we still have leftover mixed explosives from previous underground expansions. I’ll instruct the team to place these explosives on the load-bearing sections of the main building. When the time comes, we’ll trigger a remote detonation that will ignite the fire. As for the engineering vehicles, once set ablaze, the tons of diesel in their tanks will quickly reach a critical point, resulting in a series of explosions that will completely destroy them.”
“Understood.” Charlie responded, “You can withdraw once you finish these tasks. I’ll remain here and wait for them.”
Yin Xiaoyang sighed, “I can’t help but wish to witness this place go up in flames myself…”
Charlie smiled and said, “That’s alright. You can evacuate to a vantage point three to five kilometers away and enjoy tonight’s fireworks from a safe distance.”
Yin Xiaoyang asked eagerly, “Mr. Wade, is that really possible?”
Charlie assured him, “We’ll catch them off guard tonight. However, if you stay too close, you might leave behind clues when you evacuate. I’ll keep some personnel here to ensure they don’t discover any valuable evidence. Being several kilometers away will make it difficult for them to locate you for a while, allowing for a calm evacuation.”
He added, “But remember, if the explosion is set for twelve o’clock, you must reach the food factory before six. It’s a hundred kilometers away; that won’t be an issue, right?”
Yin Xiaoyang confidently replied, “Don’t worry, sir, there won’t be any problems. The remaining brothers are all warriors, and they’re in far better shape than the best marathon runners. Twenty kilometers in an hour is easily achievable.”
“Very well.” Charlie said, “Then you and Lord Wan should find a suitable spot to enjoy the view from a distance tonight.”
After saying this, he turned to Song Ruyu and remarked, “Miss Song, even though your abilities are temporarily restrained, you should be able to handle this level of forced march without any trouble.”
