157 days at the power plant

Before graduating, we signed a contract with a company in Xinjiang in a daze, and it was said that the contract was worth 200,000 yuan. At that time, I didn't know what 200,000 yuan meant, so I used a contract to put an end to my studies.

In order to make a group of our students qualified for their positions, the company entrusted a power plant in Urumqi for us to study.

So, the bus carrying us through the thick fog, which had never been seen before. The bus dropped us off at the gate of the power plant and we got off.

I looked at the tall chimney in front of me, and I felt a little lost in my heart, and the weather was relatively cold, and I was already a little homesick. There is no turning back from the bow, and it has come here.

The previous half a month in the barracks exercised my will a lot, at least I felt the atmosphere of the barracks, and made up for my regret that I always wanted to be a soldier but didn't.

The next day, we met in the conference room of the power plant company. A person from the Ministry of Safety gave us safety education, and he told us a lot of accident cases seriously, and behind each case, there were shocking safety accidents and casualties.

He also showed us a safety education video, which showed shocking work-related accidents in the power industry. The tragic photos, the living safety videos, we seemed unusually quiet when we watched them, and everyone was frightened by this accident case.

I was already skeptical that I had made the right decision. Do you still have the courage to continue to challenge such a dangerous industry?

After the safety education, some people resolutely chose to leave, and after thinking about it, I felt that it was a pity to leave like this, so I resolutely wanted to stay.

Fearing that they were going to sneak away, two classmates left the power plant and boarded the train home without any of us knowing. At that time, I despised them a little in my heart, and this was not going to the front line, a safety education scared them away.

I was assigned to the instrument class, and there were four students in the instrument class. One is my fellow countryman, the other is my classmate, and the other is a local student.

On the first day of the class, we didn't know what to do, so we sat stupidly on the chairs in the class and watched the teachers in the class busy. When I am bored, I take out my mobile phone to play, worrying that playing with my mobile phone will affect our image, and I just secretly play for a while and put it in my pocket.

The security officer found a test paper for one of us, and he said to us casually: "This is the answer, you can copy it according to the answer, and you can't answer the full score." After answering, memorize the content, and I will check it at any time!"

Later, he did not conduct spot checks. He just asked, "Have you memorized it?" and we replied with a smile: "Basically!"

He smiled and didn't speak again.

Immediately afterwards, the class leader arranged a master for one of us, and my master was the youngest master Chen in the class.

I walked up to Master Chen's desk and asked, "Master!"

He put down his iPhone and smiled politely at me. He said, "Don't call me master, just call me Brother Chen!

I said, "Well, it's better to call the master!"

He said, "Okay, call the master!"

Since then, my life in the power plant has begun.

Every morning, the class leader gave us a pre-shift meeting. I put on the master's maintenance tools on my back and followed the master's steps to the equipment site.

I prepared a lot of questions, but I was too embarrassed to ask them all one by one. The master said to me, "Ask me any questions you have, and I will tell you what I know! Don't be embarrassed." ”

Although the master is young, his skills are very good and he knows a lot of things. I'm very proud to learn from him.

Once, we received a maintenance task and went to the oil depot for maintenance. He found me a cotton coat, and the two of us wore cotton clothes and hard hats, and walked slowly in a black and white world.

He pointed to a few oil tanks and said, "Look, those tanks, there was an accident in March last year, and several workers exploded while welding, and they all died!"

I was surprised and asked, "Is the person on duty inside also dead?"

The master replied, "All dead!"

Before entering the oil depot, he turned around and said with a serious expression: "Turn off your phone!"

I asked, "Master, do you have to turn it off?"

He nodded and said to me, "There are rules here, it must be turned off!"

We were going to overhaul the camera on the opposite side of the oil depot, and I was standing on the roof of the house, looking at a few oil tanks on the other side, and I imagined the scene of the explosion, in a sea of fire, billowing smoke, and a few struggling people running in the fire.

"Pony, pack up your tools and call it a day!" the master said behind my back. After packing up his tools, the master ran to the white snow on the roof, and he lay down on the snow and closed his eyes, as if enjoying this comfort.

The master opened his eyes and called to me: "Pony, put down your tools first and lie down in the snow." Embrace nature!"

I ran over, threw down my kit, and lay down next to him.

I exclaimed, "It's beautiful!

As I lay in the snow, I remembered the accident that happened here not long ago. Instantly in awe of everything here, I asked the master, "Master, you said that the good ones here won't explode, right?"

With his eyes still closed, he replied, "Don't worry! As long as you don't keep the fire moving, you won't be able to blow it up!"

I said, "What a tragedy! Don't they know that welding on an oil tank will explode? How do the people on duty supervise it? They don't know?"

The master smiled contemptuously, and after a while, said to me, "The problem is here, I knew it would explode, but I went to do it, and then it blew up!"

When we stood up, we smiled at each other, admiring the marks we had just left behind when we had just laid down.

"Let's go!" said the master.
