Chapter 264: Initial Exploration of Coal Mines
At three o'clock in the morning, Su Yan was woken up, and Huang Lei and they were no exception, they were already staying in a small county town, but it would take two hours to drive from here to the mine.
There was no shooting in the car, but for everyone to make up for a while.
"Director Su, Director Su!"
When I was woken up again in a daze, it was time to see.
When I got off the car, I was excited by the early morning air, and my brain gradually cleared up.
"The staff who need to go down the well are ready, and others are above to pick up the ......"
Even if you are a fool, you know where you are coming when you see the big signboard and all kinds of slogans at the door.
Brother Bo was a little speechless and let the staff install a microphone for him.
"Ouch, dig coal, dig coal, what a glorious thing, why hide it from me?"
Su Yan and Huang Lei said in unison: "I'm afraid you won't come." ”
Brother Bo smiled bitterly and was about to speak, when a few people in work clothes came to the side.
"Hello two Teacher Huang, I am Liu Yifan, the captain who is responsible for taking you today. ”
"Hello, hello. ”
After a simple greeting, Captain Liu didn't talk nonsense: "It's 5 now, let's go faster, we have a morning meeting at 15 minutes, and we have to go down the well at 5.30." ”
The two photographers followed suit, and Su Yan continued to arrange the task.
"By the way, did you have breakfast?"
"No, I don't. ”
"I will eat in the alley, this breakfast is very important, the underground work is very tiring, if you don't eat, you won't be able to survive. Captain Liu explained kindly.
"Is this a coal mine?" asked Boge, pointing to a few houses around him.
"This belongs to the living area, the staff dormitory, the bathhouse, the canteen and other buildings are here, and the mine mouth is in it. ”
At five o'clock, it was still dawn.
"You all get up so early to get to work?"
"We're working three shifts here. Liu Yiban explained as he walked: "It's the morning shift, from 7 o'clock to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the reason why I came so early is because it will take two hours to go down the well."
Let's change my clothes first. ”
Both of them wore it for the first time, and the captain had to help them.
Rain boots, a full set of overalls, plus miner's lamps, masks, all of them are indispensable.
"Bring your tools when we go out, and let's go over to the meeting first. ”
"Eh, do you still need this coat on such a hot day? Didn't I hear that the temperature underground is high?" Huang Lei was a little puzzled.
"Oh, there's still some way to go before you go down the well, it's cold in there, so bring some clothes, go down to the end, just take it off. ”
"I know, it's the big alley you just mentioned. Brother Bo answered.
Captain Liu nodded: "There will be a meeting in a while, you just listen." ”
When a few people arrived at the conference room, there were already a lot of gatherings, and I was afraid that there were 1 or 2 hundred.
Because I was notified in advance, I didn't show any difference in the arrival of the star, just an occasional glance.
It is expected that the fifteen-minute meeting will only last less than ten minutes, and most of them will be topics such as safety, as well as today's production priorities.
Erhuang didn't understand, and he didn't dare to ask, so he sat there honestly.
After it was over, Captain Liu looked at the time, so he didn't rush to set off, and took the two of them to a small shop first.
Looking at the huge water bottle he handed over, Huang Lei was frightened.
"Does this take 2.5 liters so much?"
"Eh, you, the captain gave it to us, it's professional, yes. ”
Brother Bo smiled and put the bottle in the bag, and saw the small bag hang down.
Su Yan also joined them at this time, and everyone had a bottle.
"Try the buns here, they taste good, if you can eat a few more, lunch is estimated to be more than 12 o'clock. ”
After eating Haisai for a while, it can be regarded as filling the stomach.
When everyone came to the so-called alley, they understood why they had to wear thick clothes.
In fact, it's easy to understand, the air-raid shelter in the city is not just cool in the summer.
It's a lot deeper than a bomb shelter.
"Captain Liu, how long will it take to go in here?" Huang Lei began to gasp.
"About fifteen minutes, it's almost there. ”
Su Yan was okay and traveled lightly, but the two photographers also looked a little tired, after all, the machine was carrying on their bodies, so they concentrated all the water on their bodies into their pockets.
Lao Zhou wanted to refuse, but Su Yan ignored it and continued to move forward.
"Now the road here is the best, and when you go down, you must be careful with your step, because it is basically invisible. ”
Seeing the photographer stumbling, Captain Liu hurriedly went over to help him.
Su Yan observed the surroundings, about three meters wide, more than two meters high, there was a street lamp every other section, and the ground was full of cinders, and the height was a little uneven.
In fact, in addition to Captain Liu, he also has a safety officer by his side, a master who has worked in the mine for more than 30 years.
It's just that he doesn't know how to speak, and only when he has a question, he answers.
After a while, we have to see what kind of work we want to do, but we can't find something that is dangerous or they can't do.
Finally, when everyone was feeling a little tired from walking, a bright light appeared in front of them. The elevator arrived.
"This is what we commonly call a tank cage, which is small for about 10 people, and there is a big one on the side, which can do about 40-50 people. ”
Captain Liu opened the door and let the film crew go in first, and Su Yan understood why there were so many people just now, and they were all gone.
"Bang!"
A metallic sound and the shaking of the tank cage startled everyone, and Su Yan unconsciously pulled the chain on the top.
The elevator began to descend slowly.
"We're going to go down to a depth of about 1,070 meters. Captain Liu spoke much louder to ensure that his voice would not be muffled.
"Why do I feel a little uncomfortable?" Huang Lei clung to the railing.
"The elevator descends at a speed of 7 meters per second, which is almost three times that of an ordinary elevator, and it will be much better if you can yawn with a long mouth. ”
Huang Bo obviously felt the same way and followed along.
I don't know how long it was, but there was another loud bang.
"It's here!"
"It's a kilometer underground? I can't feel it. Huang Bo quipped.
Naturally, the photographer didn't need to say much and began to photograph the surroundings.
Su Yan also came to the underground for the first time, and everything was a little fresh, and he looked back at the elevator first, and he basically couldn't see the end, and there was another tunnel in front of him.
Upon entering, there are more than a dozen chairs for resting.
"Come, take off your coat and hang it here, and then inside is the mining area, and you need to bring your masks. ”
The few people quickly finished preparing, and the moment they stepped out of the tunnel, they realized that they had arrived in another world.
First of all, the sky is full of dust, although there are miner's lights overhead, but the visibility is probably no more than 1 meter, and the lights on the camera are slightly better.
Then there is the smell, and although there is a mask, you can still feel the smell of various mixtures of coal and machinery.
Then there's the temperature, and before I have walked a few steps, I am already sweating all over.
Huang Lei suddenly stopped shouting in front.
"Wait, what's the hissing sound?"
