Chapter 880: It's All Buried
Come on, everyone!"
McCaw waved at his colleague sitting in the car behind him, and he was amazed by what he saw, and if it weren't for the sign on the ground with the company's logo, he would never believe that the place in front of him was the company's mine.
The people behind got out of the car one after another, all holding flashlights in their hands, and when they saw the situation in front of them clearly, they were all stunned.
"My mine!" one of them shouted, his face full of incredulity.
He is the manager of the pit in front of him, and when he left during the day, only a dozen boulders were thrown into the pit, how could the pit be half filled in one afternoon?
You must know that the diameter of this pit is more than 900 meters, and the depth is more than 200 meters.
The people around him are deeply sympathetic to him, the pit has become like this, and I don't know how long it will take to resume production, and this pit manager may also exist in name only.
"Look here, and around the pit. McCaw pointed to the place at his feet.
Everyone looked down, and the ground was covered with dense cracks, wide and narrow, long and short, not to mention cars, even people, if they were not careful, they had to fall into these cracks.
"How do I feel like the pit is getting bigger?" said someone else.
"No, it's not that the pit has gotten bigger, it's that the area around the pit has collapsed. ”
"How could this happen? Could it be an earthquake?"
"It's impossible, it can collapse the pit, what a strong earthquake, we won't feel it in Sydney. ”
"But what about cracks in the ground, what about collapsed mines?"
"I don't know. ”
Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them, and no one dared to continue to move forward, not even the exploration team, because no one knew where it would collapse, let alone whether the 'earthquake' would happen again, and if it was buried in the pit, even the body could not be found, so no one would die.
"Do you think this is the case with other mines?" asked one of them.
When they heard the man's words, all their hearts were lifted up.
That's right, the company's mines are all next to each other, and they are only a few kilometers apart from each other, and if it is really an earthquake, then at such a close distance, other mines will definitely be affected.
A bearded man walked south with a flashlight.
"Jason, where are you going?"
"I'm going to my pit and see how it's going. The bearded man said that there were too many cracks in the ground for the car to pass, so he had to walk on two legs.
Hearing his words, the other pit managers also began to worry about their own pits, a few followed the bearded man, while others stood in place, their faces full of hesitation and worry.
"It's so dark, let's go together during the day tomorrow, and we can take care of each other, otherwise, if the pit collapses again, we won't know where to run!" someone exhorted.
Yes, the dark sky is too dangerous, even if you can illuminate the road under your feet, but at the moment of trouble, you never know how many dangers are filled with darkness.
The few people who had gone out finally stopped, they thought about it carefully, and finally accepted this opinion, since everything has happened, then they don't care about this night, no matter what happens in the mine, their own life is the most important, if there is no life, everything will be gone.
Everyone returned to the car and waited for dawn, perhaps because they felt that it was too close to the pit, there were too many cracks in the ground, and the danger was not relieved, so everyone turned the car and began to drive back, running for about ten kilometers before stopping.
And the people in the same car, not all of them rest, must leave one person on duty, to avoid earthquakes and other things from happening again, you in the first half of the night, I in the second half of the night, arrange the duty time, everyone starts to rest.
It is said that it is rest, but in fact, no one can sleep, one is that there is something on the mind, thinking about their own pit, and the other is worried about the earthquake, what to do if the car falls into the crack, so the whole night, everyone basically did not sleep, one by one, worried and nervous.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, everyone drove in the direction of the pit.
Last night it was dark and I couldn't see the situation around me, but now that it's dawn, everything around me can be seen clearly, and because of this, everyone's heart is full of shock.
Because the situation seen now, more scary than last night, can be described as shocking, last night saw only the strong light flashlight can shine to the place, and the vision is not very clear, but now I see, but the whole plain, not only can clearly see the cracks on the ground, even the deep pit and deep ditch in the distance, are seen very clearly, even the snake nest under the ground, are also exposed, snakes are all around, look at the hair erect.
And the closer you get to the pit, the more complicated the situation becomes, and later, you don't even dare to drive the car, and they all abandon the car and walk.
"Minecarts, they're all gone!"
Coming back to last night's mine, there was no trace of the minecart that was smashed yesterday, but judging from the depth of the mine now, a fool can guess that it was buried by the surrounding earth and rocks.
In fact, they are still a few hundred meters away from the edge of the previous pit, but the collapse of the pit has driven the surrounding soil, making the original edge of the pit a part of the current pit, if the previous pit is a bowl, then the current pit is a plate.
Not to mention how much damage the collapse of the pit would cause, those dozen or so mine trucks alone are worth tens of millions of dollars.
Of course, the loss of these minecarts is only a drop in the bucket compared to the loss of the mine, after all, the pit has been filled, and the mine road inside has also collapsed, how to resume production?
On the basis of the original pit, new excavation? However, this itself is a collapsed pit and a mine, whether it is a mine layer or a rock layer, it is very unstable, a little careless, it may cause the next round of landslides, and no one dares to dig in this kind of place, unless it is not fatal, so the loss of the pit is immeasurable.
As promised last night, the crowd began to march towards another mine, and the road of three or four kilometers was actually more than an hour away because of the existence of pits and ditches.
"Huh?"
Everyone was stupid, another buried pit, another bowl turned into a plate, and everything was gone, including the minecart, except for a Ju Neng logo that stood crookedly on the ground.
One pit, two pits, three pits......
After a whole day's walk, all the pits were buried.
Fortunately, after the boulder yesterday, everyone left, otherwise everyone would have been buried here.
The mine managers looked at each other, and a huge problem was now in front of them, and that was ......
How to explain to the general manager!
