Chapter 10 Central Hospital
Monitoring is a piece of equipment in the steel plant area. There are such devices not only at the gate, but also in many places in the factory area. Its main function is safety prevention and safety supervision.
In Li Ming's view, these lines connected to the monitoring system were no longer ordinary lines, but data traveling at the speed of light. It was as if each line was a ray of light, constantly flashing as the data passed by.
Li Ming drove the vehicle under a telephone pole and turned off the lights. The surrounding area was pitch black. There was a village to the south of this location, which was the nearest residential area to the factory. To the north was the factory. The distance between them was about four or five kilometers, and Li Ming was in the middle of this section of the road. After making sure that no one was nearby, Li Ming opened the door and got out of the car, and looked at the top of the telephone pole.
With a strong jump of his legs, his body rose into the air and lifted off the ground. The easy movement was like jumping onto a one-foot-high step. When his body stood firm, Li Ming's figure was already at the top of the telephone pole, and his figure slowly lowered. , his eyes looked at the complicated lines on the telephone pole, and his right hand slowly stretched out, holding four or five wires in his hand.
Pieces of information and data are flashing in Li Ming's mind like a movie that has been fast-forwarded thirty-two times. Now Li Ming's brain is like a super-high-speed computer. As long as he relies on consciousness, he can instantly Find the information you want.
All the video surveillance information after 22:00 on the evening of October 13th flashed through Li Ming's mind like a ray of light. Li Ming closed his eyes slightly and concentrated on collecting information.
All the information in the entire factory area is shuttling through the lines at the speed of light, as if every line is no longer a line, but a high-speed channel for data to travel, and is shuttled through Li Ming's mind one by one under a certain instruction.
A minute later, Li Ming's eyes suddenly opened, and a surveillance picture from a steel factory appeared in front of Li Ming's eyes...
At 22:15 on October 13, 20xx, a fireball streaked across the night sky and quickly fell into a pile of black waste under the surveillance video.
The piece of waste slag occupies a very large area, with a length and width of two kilometers and a height of seven or eight meters. It is steel slag produced by steelmaking. These are not completely waste slag. They also contain a large amount of iron. As long as they are carefully processed and recycled, a large amount of iron will be contained in the waste slag. The iron can continue to be used.
The steel mill itself has limited processing capacity for steel slag. In addition to the part it processes itself, some of it is accumulated and cooled before being handed over to a third party for processing or sold directly.
The video shows that the meteorite fell into this piece of steel slag.
It is not easy for meteorites to fall to the earth. Most meteorites will burn up and disappear directly after passing through the earth's atmosphere. This is the effect of the friction between the earth's atmosphere and meteorites. Meteors are also formed in this way. Billions of meteorites are formed in this way. The earth has protected itself in this way over the years.
But when meteorites are too large, they may successfully touch the earth's ground, causing shock waves, and even have destructive power. However, the nebula fragments are not meteorites and cannot achieve the effect of impact power at all.
Moreover, according to the footage displayed on the surveillance camera, the meteorite seemed to be only the size of a fist. Even though the force of the fall and the gravity of the earth only caused an instant violent impact, there was not much of a sensation. Even this sound Even in a steel factory, they seem insignificant and will soon be drowned out by the noise of other machines. But this kind of meteorite that has not disappeared in the atmosphere is likely to be the nebula fragment that Li Ming is looking for.
It's just that it's not easy to find such a small meteorite in such a large piece of steel slag, and Li Ming also faces the problem of entering the factory.
In addition to these, some other pictures appeared in Li Ming's mind again, which were information about the processing of this pile of steel slag. This pile of steel slag belonged to the steel slag to be processed, and the senior management of the steel plant was already working with a company [Kairui Steel Trading] Negotiating sale.
The person who negotiated this matter with the steel mill was Hu Kai. It was a coincidence, but it was not a coincidence. Hu Kai's family originally ran a steel trading company and cooperated with many steel mills. It was also very common for him to have business contacts. Normal, but for Li Ming, if this batch of steel slag is sold, it will definitely make the search for meteorites more troublesome and complicated.
Jumping off the telephone pole, Li Ming returned to the car and restarted the vehicle. He held the steering wheel with one hand and took out the mobile phone with the other. With a tap of his thumb, a list of digits appeared on the mobile phone and he dialed it.
"Hello?" The person on the phone quickly answered the call and said.
Li Ming drove the vehicle back to the city and said, "Where are you?"
"[Central Hospital], who are you?" It was Hu Kai who answered the phone, but after saying this, Li Ming had hung up the phone, and Hu Kai looked confused.
At this time, Hu Kai's right arm was severely fractured. A middle-aged male doctor in the medical room was carefully observing the X-ray.
"The violence directly acted on the bones of your arm, resulting in a displaced fracture of the arm. It was also accompanied by severe soft tissue damage and required surgery."
The middle-aged doctor said as he put the X-ray film in his hand back on the table and looked at Hu Kai.
"This requires surgery! Did you read that wrong?! Ouch..." Just as he shouted in dissatisfaction, a sharp pain came over him.
The doctor sat down slowly, looked at the other person and said: "The bones are severely displaced, and complete reduction cannot be guaranteed from the outside, and..."
"Okay, okay, let's just do the surgery, come on, come on..." Hu Kai said impatiently.
At this time, Li Ming was driving quickly to the downtown area of T City, and his destination was the Central Hospital where Hu Kai was.
After another hour's drive, Li Ming's car stopped at a gas station in the city. After filling up the car's gas, Li Ming continued to drive somewhere.
As the early morning approached, the number of vehicles in the city became scarce. Except for the occasional taxi, there were few private cars, and the neon lights of the shops on both sides were still flashing. The shops were basically all closed, and there were no pedestrians on both sides of the street.
After a few intersections, Li Ming's car had entered a hospital. After parking the car, Li Ming entered the hospital lobby from the emergency room door.
After a brief inquiry with the doctor and nurse on duty, Li Ming walked through the hospital lobby to the inpatient department at the back, took the elevator directly to a certain floor, and checked each room one by one until he entered a high-end VIP room.
Hu Kai, who was lying on the bed, had just finished the operation. His right arm was tightly wrapped in plaster and wrapped with cloth tape, and his left arm was still in an IV drip. At the same time, three men in black were talking to Hu Kai.
"Should we notify Mr. Hu?!" said one of the men in black.
"What to notify?! Don't let my dad worry about this little injury. I'll call the Red Dragon Steel Plant tomorrow, and..." Hu Kai was talking when he saw Li Ming who suddenly came in.
"That's the guy!" Hu Kai suddenly sat up, and his right arm seemed to be touched in excitement. He couldn't help but screamed in pain: "Ah...".
Just as the three men in black were about to do something, Li Ming pushed one of them to the chair beside him. When the other two were about to swing their fists to attack, Li Ming was already standing next to Hu Kai.
The two men in black rushed into nothingness, and even Hu Kai was surprised. Why did Li Ming suddenly disappear? But when the three turned around, they found that Li Ming was already sitting by Hu Kai's bed.
Before the three of them could do anything, a nurse in white was already standing at the door, and said angrily: "Why are you making so much noise? This is a hospital, not your home. Be quiet!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the nurse closed the door and left. Li Ming glanced at the three men in black, then his eyes stayed on Hu Kai, and he said: "I want to talk to you alone, let them go out first."
Hu Kai's expression suddenly became a little stiff. He looked at Li Ming, then at the three men in black, and finally winked helplessly and said: "You... go out first."
The three men in black glared at Li Ming, but they all slowly left the room.
"Brother, it's not that bad, Meng Lianyi is already my girlfriend, it's not appropriate for you to do this."
As soon as the three men in black left, Hu Kai looked at Li Ming helplessly and said.
"How did you negotiate the acquisition of steel slag from Honglong Steel Plant?" Li Ming suddenly asked.
Such a sudden question made Hu Kai look confused. He was in a daze for a while and could not come back to his senses. He could only stammer: "How did the talk... go? What do you mean by this?"
Li Ming stared at the other party with his eyes, as if he had no patience to continue asking. He slowly raised his right hand and gently placed it on the other party's head.
It seemed very slow, but when Hu Kai reacted, Li Ming's hand was already on the top of his head. Hu Kai's body couldn't help but shrink, but he didn't do much. He just looked at Li Ming in horror. His arm was broken by being grabbed. If he exerted force on his head, wouldn't he be dead?
The next moment, Hu Kai felt dizzy and his vision suddenly became blurred. There was a buzzing sound in his head, as if his brain was no longer under his control and was completely dominated by some force. Some inexplicable memories emerged in his mind.
Li Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and various information began to emerge in his mind. The memory in Hu Kai's mind was like a book that Li Ming could flip through at will. Each page was a continuously playing picture. Li Ming quickly extracted the content he cared about, and only smiled slightly with satisfaction after seeing and hearing the content he wanted.
His right hand slowly withdrew from Hu Kai's head, and Hu Kai's scattered eyes also recovered. It seemed as if he had a nightmare in the past ten seconds.
"Your company and Honglong Steel Plant have reached a verbal agreement, but there is no contract signed. Tomorrow you contact Honglong Steel Plant and say that someone will be sent to inspect the goods." Li Ming said again.
Hu Kai listened with a confused look on his face, but still nodded gently.
Li Ming continued: "There is something I want in that piece of steel slag. As long as I get that thing, it will never affect your company's business."
Hu Kai continued to nod his head without saying a word, looking at Li Ming with fear and horror, as if looking at a terrible monster.
