Chapter 269 High Pressure Water Cannon
Chao Chao turned her head and saw two red cars coming up the road and stopping directly under the building.
Soon after, several neatly dressed people jumped out of the car. Some of them ran directly into the house against the flow of people. Two of them were opening the water pipe connection at the back of the car, and another was directing the operation.
Chao Chao saw that they were moving quickly and was about to ask something when he heard Gezi excitedly say, "Great, the firefighters are here, the fire will be out soon."
Chao Chao has never seen a firefighter, but he has seen one in a picture, but it was not very clear.
Hearing what Gezi said, he looked at it nervously.
The people of Daqi were a little surprised when they saw the firefighters rushing into the building. "It's full of smoke in there. We can't see clearly and it's hard to breathe. How can they just go in like that?"
"The clothes they wear seem to be different from others, and they have things on their backs. They should have a way to deal with this kind of situation."
"It's 15 stories high, and it looks like it's 40 to 50 meters high. It's hard to put out the fire, and it's getting bigger and bigger."
Chaochao was also worried about this, but before they could take a closer look, the property management staff came over and asked them to leave.
In fact, as soon as Chao Chao came downstairs, Uncle Zhou took them back to a safe area. However, with so many people at this moment, it was still dangerous to squeeze together. If the glass from upstairs broke and fell, it would be easy to get hurt.
It was far away, so Chaochao couldn't see it clearly. Just as she was about to ask, she saw a column of water shooting up into the sky and splashing directly towards the fifteenth floor.
Chao Chao widened his eyes in shock, and the people of the Da Qi Dynasty exclaimed in amazement.
"How could the water rush so high, directly to the 15th floor?"
"Not only that, I think if the fire started two floors higher, it could also be put out directly."
Emperor Jingxuan's eyes lit up. Things in later generations were so convenient. This was the fifteenth floor. If it was Daqi's house, the fire could be put out in minutes.
The imperial palace had caught fire earlier. After working hard for half a day, most of it was still burned down. It took a lot of manpower and resources to repair it.
If there was this kind of fire-fighting equipment, the fire could be completely extinguished without even burning a door.
Daqi also has a firefighting organization called "Fire Armor", but they are equipped with buckets, ropes, ladders and other tools, which look very simple. In the past few years, there was a manual water spraying device called "machine bucket", which generates water pressure through human operation, but the fire extinguishing ability is also very limited.
Therefore, most of Daqi's response to fire is still focused on prevention. The palace is now equipped with auspicious tanks, and the water source is sufficient, but if a fire breaks out, it will still be a disaster.
Emperor Jingxuan couldn't help but ask Ah Shan, "Ah Shan, can we at Daqi realize this technology?"
Ah Shan was watching the fire being put out with great concentration when he heard Emperor Jingxuan's question.
He looked confused. He didn't understand the technology very well, but...
Ashan said firmly, "It's impossible." Although he doesn't know anything else, he knows that a high-pressure water cannon for fire extinguishing requires a powerful power system and a high-pressure water pump.
Da Qi should not move too hastily. After all, he has to invent the internal combustion engine and electric motor first before he can develop the high-pressure water cannon.
Ashan suddenly spoke in her mind. Chao Chao, who was concentrating, was stunned for a moment. After hearing Ashan's explanation, she looked around and found that everyone was watching the fire being extinguished and no one was paying attention to her.
So she whispered, "It's impossible."
Her voice was so low that the people around her could not hear her, but the people of Daqi under the canopy could hear her clearly.
The other people didn't know what this meant, but Emperor Jingxuan knew that this was an answer to his question.
He was not surprised, just a little regretful.
On second thought, maybe I could ask He Nanzhou what the principle of this thing is?
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Gezi's excited voice, "Is the fire out?"
Emperor Jingxuan looked up and saw that the flames on the tall building not far away had disappeared, leaving only wisps of smoke.
But we don’t know whether there is still fire inside. We guess it depends on the firefighters who rush in.
In addition, Emperor Jingxuan also saw a ladder slowly rising higher and higher until it reached the fifteenth floor.
When I wanted to see more clearly, Chaochao had already been taken away by the driver.
It was He Nanzhou who came. Although Chaochao said that she was not feeling unwell, he still took the children to a nearby hospital for a check-up.
Fortunately, there was really no problem, but Feifei was a little scared, especially because the house that was on fire was her own home and her parents were not around. She was so panicked that her eyes were swollen from crying.
Chao Chao could only comfort her, "It's okay, my dad said that the most important thing is that people are safe. Look, we are all safe, which is more important than anything else."
Feifei nodded, but soon shook her head, "But the house burned down. If Dad knew about it, he would definitely blame me when he came back."
"Why should I blame you?" Chao Chao was very angry when talking about this matter. "It was obviously your grandma who did it. She turned on the heater and covered us with clothes. She also locked us in the house and left. She was the one who did something wrong. Don't worry, if your father asks, Gezi and I will testify for you."
Ge Zi nodded heavily and patted his chest, "Yes, we will protect you."
Feifei was deeply moved, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. We are friends who have been through thick and thin together."
He Nanzhou laughed when he heard this, but seeing that they seemed to be in good spirits, he finally felt relieved.
Just when the children were getting excited, the police came and wanted to take them back to take a statement.
The fire started at Feifei's home. Although the fire was under control and no casualties were caused, they still needed to know the cause.
When He Nanzhou and Chao Chao walked into the police station, they heard the sounds of ghosts howling.
"My house, my house is burned down."
Feifei subconsciously hid behind Chaochao. She recognized that it was her grandmother's voice, crying miserably.
Chaochao and the others were a little overwhelmed by her crying. Why did it feel like she was the victim?
At this moment, another man rushed in. When Grandma Quan saw her, she immediately started crying, "Son, our house is gone."
"Let's talk about the house later. Let me ask you, where is Feifei? Where is Feifei? Is she okay?" the man asked anxiously.
When Feifei saw him, she walked up to him with some anticipation and nervousness, "Dad."
The man suddenly turned around, and when he saw that she was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief and came over to hug her tightly.
He Nanzhou sneered, suppressed his anger, pointed at Grandma Quan and said to the police, "Comrade, I'm going to call the police and sue her for arson and attempted murder!"
