Chapter 3 [Causes of Landslides]
・・
All the officers and soldiers of the city fire brigade, except for the necessary left-behind personnel, have already arrived at the scene and are busy carrying out various rescue work. Of course, the most important thing is to open a gap in the collapsed mountain and rescue the construction workers who are trapped in it.
Looking at the busy firefighters beside him, as well as the medical personnel on standby, Shi Lei couldn't help frowning. Someone had already seen Zhang Tongxun and stepped forward, and Zhang Tongxun was nervously understanding the situation at the scene with that person. Shi Lei frowned tightly as he listened, he didn't expect that someone had already died because of this landslide, and more than fifty people were injured, and the number of serious injuries that could lead to disability reached double digits.
"How many people are there?" Shi Lei asked unexpectedly.
The policeman who reported to Zhang Tongxun had two bars and two flowers on his shoulders and was a second-level police inspector, and he was the Li team in the mouth of the policeman just now, and when he heard Shi Lei's question, although he didn't know who he was, he came in with Zhang Tongxun after all, so he still replied: "As far as I know so far, there are still five people inside......
"Can you get in touch with the people inside?" Shi Lei asked.
"We just got in touch, there's a hole in the top of the mountain over there, and we've sent the walkie-talkie down. But I don't know if there are any people they don't know are buried inside. But the call quality is quite poor, and if you don't stand at the hole in the mountain, you can't receive any signal from the other party at all. ”
"How's that going?"
"At the moment, it seems to be fine, but it is also dangerous, the landslide may continue, and there is not enough oxygen in the bomb shelter." This police inspector was already infinitely strange, and said in his heart, why did this young man babble, what kind of sacredness was it? You can't be a professional at this age.
Even Zhang Tongxun frowned tightly, if it weren't for Shi Lei's questions that happened to hit the nail on the head, he would have interrupted Shi Lei's questioning a long time ago. But what Shi Lei asked was the most concerned issue for him, and it was also the most important issue for dealing with the accident. The landslide has been irreversible, the economic loss has been unavoidable, and what is needed now is to reduce the damage to the personnel as much as possible, so that it can give an explanation to the public, mainly to the higher authorities. At the meeting just now, Zhang Tongxun learned that the incident had been reported to the province, and the province had only one opinion, that is, to make every effort to reduce casualties and not let the accident have any worse consequences.
"How long will it take to open the gap? Will the people inside be able to persevere? ”
"The current situation is very complicated, there is no unified opinion, but according to the opinions of the construction unit and the fire department, it will take at least three to four hours to open the gap, but the situation inside is not optimistic. We're working with the medical department to find a way to get oxygen down from that hole in the mountain, and we're afraid that the landslide will happen again. ”
At this time, Zhang Tongxun, who had been silent on the side, finally spoke: "Can't you think of a way from the hole above?" If it is enlarged and can accommodate the passage of the human body, it can get the person out first. ”
"Impossible! If the gap is widened above, it will immediately cause a landslide. This sentence was said by Shi Lei and the police inspector surnamed Li at the same time.
After the two said this in unison, they were both stunned and glanced at each other, as if they didn't expect the other party to say exactly the same thing as themselves. For Shi Lei, his surprise was limited to the fact that the police inspector's tone of words was almost the same as his own, but the police inspector was even more surprised that Shi Lei was so young that he could judge the accurate situation without even looking at it. You know, this is the situation that the engineer of the construction party, an old expert in the city, let him grasp after rejecting the opinions submitted by the fire department.
Zhang Tongxun was also slightly distracted, and glanced at Shi Lei in puzzlement, Shi Lei seemed to see something in their eyes, and explained: "I often play here, I know the situation of those bomb shelters very well, and I am very interested in architecture, and I have seen the planning drawings here, and even some of the construction drawings." So being able to judge some situations. ”
Shi Lei also knew that this explanation was not too reasonable, and the reason why he was able to come to such a judgment was entirely because of the accumulation of knowledge created by the ups and downs of the business sea in that life. You must know that in '97, although economic construction was booming, all kinds of information were far less open than in the following years. When the Internet and computers enter the homes of ordinary people, you can find extremely complex information on the Internet, and Shi Lei has already received a huge amount of information in that life, and has participated in many construction projects, for these, he still has some experience.
However, Zhang Tongxun and the police inspector are both laymen, where do they know about construction matters, and when they heard Shi Lei's explanation was reasonable, they nodded one after another.
"He is the son of Vice Mayor Shi, you go and find Vice Mayor Shi." Zhang Tongxun introduced Shi Lei to the police inspector.
Shi Lei stretched out his hand and shook it with the police inspector: "My name is Shi Lei, you are Team Li, right?" Where is my father? I'll just go with you. ”
Team Li nodded, glanced at Zhang Tongxun again, and asked for Zhang Tongxun's opinion. Seeing Zhang Tongxun nodding, he led Shi Lei and Zhang Tongxun to the front of the landslide to see Shi Weixian, who was on the front line to direct the rescue work.
When he got closer, Shi Lei saw clearly that the soil and rocks of the landslide completely covered the entrance of the air-raid shelter, according to Shi Lei's memory, this layer of earthwork was at least seven or eight meters thick, and there were mountain rocks among them, so it was not easy to get through. And at this moment, I don't know if the air-raid shelter inside has collapsed, if the air-raid shelter also collapses, those people may not be able to come out alive.
At this time, Shi Lei vaguely remembered that it seemed that in the life when Shi Wei died in the second landslide, the migrant workers inside were not rescued, but Shi Lei couldn't remember how many people died.
Shi Weixian was wearing an orange safety helmet, and was nervously talking to a man in his thirties beside him, although it was just a back, he dug out all the past events of Shi Lei from the depths of memory. Shi Lei looked at his father's still upright body, and his eyes couldn't help but be slightly moist. In that life, Shi Lei should have seen Shi Weixian the night before, and the father and son didn't even say a word at that time, but they never thought that it would be the last conversation between the father and son in the world.
Shi Lei has long forgotten the content of the dialogue, but he can't escape the shortcomings of his parents, it is nothing more than Shi Weixian's words such as letting Shi Lei go to bed earlier. But now, Shi Weixian is standing alive in front of Shi Lei, and until this moment, Shi Lei seems to have completely confirmed his rebirth.
Yes, he did go back to the year he was eighteen.
Shi Wei first turned his face and saw Shi Lei, his dark and thick eyebrows suddenly twisted together, whispered something to the man beside him, and immediately turned around and walked towards Shi Lei.
"Why are you here?" Even if there is a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, the elegant Shi Weixian is still gentle and drizzly, this is a man with a very good spleen.
Shi Lei could see the dissatisfaction in Shi Weixian's eyes, and he also realized the moist corners of his eyes, so he hurriedly lowered his head so as not to be seen by Shi Weixian, and said: "I heard that there is a landslide here, I will come over to take a look after filling in the volunteers." ”
"Nonsense! What can you see here, and how did they let you in? Although there was accusation in his mouth, he didn't hear too much harshness in his tone.
However, Zhang Tongxun strode up and said to Shi Weixian with a smile: "Vice Mayor Shi has a good son, even if that kid in my family knows that I am here, he will not worry about me as an old fellow." Shi Lei said that he was familiar with the situation here, had read the planning drawings, and said that there was something important to come to you. I happened to be at the door, so I brought him in. ”
Shi Wei saw that it was Zhang Tongxun, and stretched out a hand: "Director Zhang, you have also arrived?" Is there any clear direction from the city on this matter? What is the province's opinion on this? ”
"It was only after receiving the advice from the province that Mayor Zhou and Secretary Zhao asked me to come over quickly and direct the cadres and police to carry out rescue work. The opinion of the province is that since the disaster has happened, the economic losses should not be considered too much for the time being, but the migrant workers who are buried inside should be rescued as much as possible. However, although those in the province did not mention the issue of responsibility, listening to their tone, when the rescue work is over, I am afraid that this will be the focus of attention. These bomb shelters existed before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and after decades, although they are somewhat old, they are not enough to cause landslides......"
I didn't finish the whole story, but anyone could understand the meaning.
On Shi Weixian's elegant face, a little worry flashed, as if he knew that this pursuit of responsibility was referring to himself, the leader in charge. However, it was more of a look of guilt, and he was also deeply blaming himself, as if he felt that this was also his responsibility.
Shi Lei interjected again at this time: "Dad, Uncle Zhang, do you smell a strange smell?" ”
The two men in their forties looked at each other and twitched their noses, but they didn't smell anything special.
"It's gas...... It is the smell of gas. Shi Lei finally told what he knew about the root cause of the landslide.
When he was in school, Shi Lei didn't remember the cause of this accident, it was too long, and for Shi Lei, this was an extremely painful memory, and subconsciously, Shi Lei has always refused to recall anything related to this disaster.
But when sitting in the taxi, the driver babbled about the reform of the municipal department related to the taxi industry, which seemed to be some kind of oil-to-gas project, saying that the taxi was changed from burning oil to burning liquefied petroleum gas. Shi Lei knew that this reform had been proposed since the 90s, but due to the previous infrastructure, mainly the construction of gas stations and the laying of underground pipelines, it took time to wait until 2001 for the first gas-burning taxis began to appear in Jiangdong Province. It was not until 2003 that Runyang City had the first batch of 100 gas vehicles.
However, it was this news that suddenly reminded Shi Lei of the real cause of the landslide in Zhonghou Park.
