Walking out of the room and facing Xiao Zhang, who was walking briskly, Qi Tianxiang asked softly, "Are you ready?" ”

"Ready, all the media and journalists are waiting patiently in the conference hall!" Xiao Zhang walked towards the elevator with Qi Tianxiang, and said as he walked: "According to your arrangement, the postponement of the morning press conference for half an hour cannot but arouse the dissatisfaction and disgust of these reporters, but instead have more expectations for major news, which is really a strange thing."

Xiao Zhang took the first step into the elevator room, pressed the elevator button, waited for the elevator door to open and guarded the door, and invited Qi Tianxiang to enter, before adding: "I was idle and had nothing to do just now, and I looked at it on the Internet, and several comprehensive websites even made previews and predictions, announcing that there would be important news releases, and hyped up the lock at half past nine." ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Xiao Zhang with a smile and said meaningfully: "This is news sensitivity, that is, professional fun, no one knows what kind of news will happen in the next minute, and discovering and publishing itself is a happy moment." ”

The elevator door stopped on the second floor, opened the box door, Qi Tianxiang walked out of the elevator, Lou Min, the Propaganda Minister of the Huayi Municipal Party Committee, and Li Zilin, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Shengli Group, waited at the elevator entrance, Qi Tianxiang stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two respectively, and walked quickly out of the conference hall under their diligent guidance.

At half past nine, Qi Tianxiang appeared in the conference hall of the Victory Hotel on time, which immediately caused the restlessness of many media reporters, and all kinds of photography and video equipment focused on Qi Tianxiang.

"Journalists and media friends, please be quiet." Li Zilin, as the spokesman, has now become the role of the host, and after Qi Tianxiang sat down, he said into the microphone: "At today's first press conference, we are fortunate to invite Governor Qi Tianxiang to meet with you and answer your questions. Now that the press conference has officially begun, please ask Governor Qi to release important information. ”

Qi Tianxiang calmly greeted the attention of the camera and the microphone as soon as he sat down, and after Li Zilin's introduction, Qi Tianxiang stood up, bowed slightly and greeted the other side, then sat down again, and said calmly: "It's a pleasure to meet with all media reporters, in fact, many reporter friends we have seen yesterday, but yesterday was a little hasty, and the image was not tall enough, which disappointed many media who pursued perfection. ”

Qi Tianxiang's opening remarks were humble and low-key, and his bowing movements were more natural and friendly, which won the favor of the reporters in the audience, and the reward was that the more concentrated flashing lights flickered frequently. After a period of chaos, calm was restored, and the first news release appeared on the big screen behind Qi Tianxiang.

"Hehai Provincial Governor Qi Tianxiang came to the press conference and is about to release important news", the big-character news headline was followed by a large photo of Qi Tianxiang, as well as photos of the scene, which occupied the entire big screen, causing an uproar at the scene, and also aroused Qi Tianxiang's attention. ”

After a short period of noise and noise, the conference hall returned to calm, and Qi Tianxiang also began to release information with a solemn expression, "After nearly a day of hard work, at 5:45 in the morning, the news finally came from the No. 36 vent on the mountain, and the contact with the miners and masters trapped underground had been restored. The location is not far from the face of the palm, and after verification and comparison, the 162 miner brothers in the face of the face are safe and sound, and are scattered in the nearest vent, patiently waiting for rescue. ”

"The 150 people who took the minecart up the shaft cannot be contacted yet, and according to the analysis, they should be in the collapse area." Qi Tianxiang's tone became heavy, and he said slowly: "In terms of rescue work, after continuous excavation, the main roadway has advanced one hundred and sixty-two meters, and the through roadway has also been excavated by forty-seven meters, which is the number I got at the scene at seven o'clock in the morning, and it should increase now." Now it seems that the main roadway should be 500 to 600 meters away from the central area, and the distance between the roadway and the other roadway is still more than 30 meters, and it is believed that it can be broken through at noon at the latest. ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, looked around at the media reporters in the conference hall, and continued: "According to the deployment of the on-site command, after the roadway is opened, the machinery can enter another collapse area at the same time as the trapped masters on the rescue face are lifted, and the excavation in both directions can save rescue time and save more lives to the greatest extent." This is the basic rescue situation, and if you have any questions from journalists, I am willing to answer them as far as I know. ”

After Qi Tianxiang introduced the situation, it immediately caused a stirring in the conference hall, and soon some reporters raised their hands to ask questions, and they all raised their hands.

Designated by Li Zilin, the microphone was passed to a reporter sitting in the front row, the reporter looked at Qi Tianxiang, took the microphone and asked: "May I ask Governor Qi, can we understand it this way, even if all the trapped people in the palm face are rescued, there are still half of the victims who are difficult to get out of trouble, or it is difficult to get out of trouble as soon as possible, what are the chances of successfully finding these people, the golden rescue time will pass soon, is there any hope of survival?" ”

Qi Tianxiang looked straight at the reporter and said calmly: "This reporter said that when it comes to the golden rescue time, it means that he understands the law of accident rescue very well, but there is a key word I want to correct you first." Victim, what you mean is an abbreviation of the person who encountered difficulties, but in this kind of accident, the word is generally characterized as the person who has died or is determined to be dead, and it almost expresses the same meaning as being killed or injured. Pay attention to the wording on my side, trapped or trapped, it all means to encounter temporary difficulties, and the words you use about the victims are the same meaning, but they are not easy to cause ambiguity, which I would like to remind you of, and I would like to ask all the journalists and friends here to pay attention. Chinese vocabulary is vast, broad and profound, you are all doing writing work, I hope to be able to give us more help in the use of words, more clear information to readers, this is the greatest support for our rescue work. ”

"Let me answer the reporter's question, nearly 26 hours have passed since the accident, and there is not much time left for us, especially if there are external injuries among the trapped people, there is not much time to hold on, but because of this, we were actively looking for a second rescue way yesterday, that is, the rescue method of simultaneous excavation on both sides. Because the collapsed area is relatively soft stones and soil, the excavation can only be continued after the support is complete, and the large machinery cannot be put into use, so there is a fear of causing secondary landslides and causing secondary disasters. That's why the breakthrough tunnels are progressing smoothly while the main tunnels are progressing slowly. But even so, the personnel involved in the rescue underground still carried forward the fearless spirit of continuous combat and not afraid of sacrifice, and worked non-stop. Everyone holds the belief that no matter how difficult it is, we must persevere to the end. Not giving up, not abandoning, not slackening, is the driving force for us to persevere, because it is our brothers and relatives who are trapped, and we will definitely find them all and let them return to us. ”
