Chapter 339 Solving the Physical Exhaustion Problem of Firefighters

Meanwhile.

Far away at the Li Family Toy Factory in Baishui City.

Li Jiajun was sitting in front of his somewhat aged desk.

After taking on this new task from Liu Jianguo, he had already begun seriously researching the high-end pain points of firefighting.

His notebook was densely filled with several core requirements he had just jotted down.

High-rise building rescue.

Extremely harsh environments.

Long-range firefighting.

Looking at these few words, he felt that the direction this time was indeed very reliable.

However, before officially starting to draw blueprints and think deeply,

he reached out, grabbed the mouse, and clicked on the livestreaming software on his computer desktop.

This time, he planned to livestream while he was researching.

But

he didn't start a public livestream for the entire internet as he usually did.

Instead, he fiddled around with the backend permission settings.

He opened an exclusive livestreaming channel that only Die-hard Fans could watch.

One should know

that this group of Die-hard Fans who could enter the exclusive channel had undergone multiple layers of verification through their chat history.

They weren't like those Fun-seeker Netizens from the outside world who always liked to poke fun at him.

These people even frequently spoke out against injustices on behalf of him, the factory director, on the internet.

Every time Li Jiajun's products were hauled away overnight, this group would post protests on various forums.

Therefore,

Li Jiajun felt that since he had taken on such a positive livelihood project, he naturally wanted to give his Die-hard Fans a benefit.

To let them witness the birth of a great firefighting product throughout the entire process.

...

In fact,

the reason why these people could become his Die-hard Fans and so firmly stand up for him

was because their personalities were actually quite similar to Li Jiajun's.

This group's logic was equally eccentric.

Moreover, these people were also complete military novices.

They didn't understand much about military equipment.

Nor did they know what attributes real military equipment actually possessed.

They certainly didn't know how heaven-defying the things Li Jiajun had researched before were in the eyes of Experts.

In their perception, their own factory director was just an unlucky guy who honestly made civilian products but was always forcibly taken over by the authorities.

...

As the permissions were opened,

and after the livestream officially started,

the Die-hard Fans who received the special system notification immediately flooded into the livestream room excitedly.

The number of online viewers quickly climbed to several thousand and continued to increase.

Although the number of people couldn't compare to the usual public livestreams, the activity of the bullet chat showed explosive growth.

"Main Streamer! You're finally live!"

"It's actually a Die-hard Fan exclusive livestream! I'm moved to tears; my support for the factory director wasn't in vain!"

"What new gadget is the factory director planning to show us today?"

Looking at the bullet chat on the screen filled with enthusiasm and blind trust,

Li Jiajun sat at his desk and cleared his throat.

His expression became serious as he began to analyze the pain points in his notebook one by one.

"family, we're not doing anything flashy today."

"I just received a project for upgrading firefighting equipment, and I'm planning to make something good to protect people's lives and property."

"After my careful research, if we want to solve those high-end pain points, we have to take it step by step."

Li Jiajun tapped on the table, emphasizing his tone.

"I believe the first thing to solve is the issue of the Firefighters' physical stamina!" During the time he was waiting for the livestream to start, he had been looking at the news.

To illustrate the seriousness of this issue to the Die-hard Fans in the livestream room,

Li Jiajun moved the mouse.

He pulled up a set of documentary images he had seen earlier on a news website.

He shared these images directly onto the livestream screen.

In the images,

what was shown was the scene after a thrilling large-scale fire.

Many young Firefighters, while extinguishing such large fires, wore heavy and airtight protective suits.

On their backs, they also carried oxygen breathing equipment and various breaching tools weighing dozens of kilograms.

After several hours of high-intensity firefighting operations,

and after the fire was finally suppressed, these Firefighters, who had exhausted their stamina,

all ended up collapsed from exhaustion on the roadside at the edge of the fire scene.

Some lay down directly in puddles full of muddy water and foam, still in their clothes.

Some leaned against the cold tires of the fire trucks, falling into a deep sleep before they even had time to take off their helmets.

On those faces blackened by smoke, deep fatigue and overexertion were written everywhere.

...

Looking at these shocking photos,

Li Jiajun sat in front of the computer, feeling a surge of deep distress.

Those young people who fought so hard to protect the city shouldn't have to bear such burdens that exceed the human body's limits.

Therefore, he planned to start with this aspect first.

He took a deep breath and announced loudly into the microphone to the Die-hard Fans in the livestream room:

"family, take a look at these photos."

"The first thing we're going to research today is how to greatly save the Firefighters' physical stamina!"

"I want to make it so they no longer have to struggle to walk while carrying such heavy items in the fire scene!"

These resounding words immediately drew a round of cheers from the Die-hard Fans in the livestream room.

"The factory director has vision!"

"Support the factory director! This is truly a good enterprise that does practical work!"

"Tell us, tell us, what kind of new cart are you planning to build?"

However,

the words were out, and the atmosphere was set.

Li Jiajun sat in his executive chair, stroking his chin, thinking hard for a long time but having no clue.

'How to save physical stamina?'

'Reduce the weight of the protective suits? No, that's the bottom line of defense involving human lives; if the materials are reduced, safety will be gone.'

'Make a cart with wheels? That won't work either; the fire scene is full of debris and stairs, wheels can't be pushed through at all.'

He frowned.

He stood up, left his large desk, and paced back and forth in this somewhat empty office in the old factory building.

His gaze searched every corner of the room,

trying to find a spark of inspiration from the surrounding environment to break the deadlock.

Time passed minute by minute.

The Die-hard Fans in the livestream room also held their breath, quietly watching the factory director pacing in the camera, waiting for a miracle to happen.

Just as Li Jiajun walked near the window,

suddenly,

his footsteps stopped.

His gaze was fixed on a crack in the baseboard at the corner of the wall.

Right in that extremely inconspicuous spot,

there was a tiny black ant.

This ant was holding a crumb of walnut pastry that someone had dropped on the floor.

That crumb was dozens of times larger than the ant itself, looking just like a small mountain.

But

that black ant steadily held the heavy object and crawled toward that narrow crack with incredible speed.

Its movements were light, as if it weren't bearing any weight at all.

Seeing this scene,

Li Jiajun's eyes suddenly lit up.

As if he had discovered a new continent, an extremely bright bolt of lightning flashed through his mind.

He immediately turned around, rushed back to his desk, and grabbed the high-definition livestream camera connected to a long data cable.

Then,

without the slightest hesitation, he immediately pointed the livestream camera directly at the ant carrying the heavy object in the corner.
