When the convoy arrived at the Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine, Zhao Changfeng got out of the car, and a group of people on the opposite side greeted him, led by a black and thin middle-aged man who first greeted the horse club in front of him: "Secretary Ma!" ”

This person is Li Dayong, the mine manager of the Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine, who is actually the spokesperson of the mine owner Luo Daya. Usually, Li Dayong manages the gold mine for Luo Daya, and if something happens, it will be smoothed out, but if it is really uneven, Li Dayong will come out to put the tank for Luo Daya. This is almost a common practice for private mining owners. Of course, as a spokesperson and a potential top vaper, Li Dayong's remuneration is also very tempting, so that he is willing to take a huge risk.

"Hello Mine Chief!" Ma Huilai shook Li Dayong's hand, and then glanced at Luo Daya, who was hiding in the crowd behind Li Dayong. He knew that Luo Daya must be observing the situation, if the situation was not good, he would definitely run out first, hide outside and find a way to dredge up the situation, otherwise Luo Daya would be arrested, so who else would dredge the relationship?

"Mine Chief Li, this is Mayor Zhao, the new mayor of the city government." The horse club came to introduce Li Dayong.

Li Dayong immediately bent down and stretched out his hands to greet him courteously: "Hello Mayor Zhao!" ”

Zhao Changfeng ignored Li Dayong's outstretched hand in front of him, his eyes swept coldly on Li Dayong's face, and said, "How are the miners in the mine now?" ”

Li Dayong hurriedly said: "The mine rescue team is digging. ”

Zhao Changfeng said with a stern face: "Take us to the scene immediately!" "Okay, okay, Mayor Zhao come with me!" Li Dayong nodded again and again, turned around and walked towards the mine. Ma Huilai exchanged glances with Luo Daya in the crowd, and then waved his hand and made a gesture at the township cadres and militia. Closely followed Zhao Changfeng.

Phoenix Mountain is an aftermath of the Xiaoqinling Mountains, named after its mountain shape like a phoenix with wings spreading.

There are a total of three caves in the Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine, all of which are distributed behind the Phoenix Mountain, according to the mountain, at the tail of the Phoenix Mountain, people say that the Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine is the three golden eggs under the Phoenix Mountain.

The No. 2 mine where the accident occurred is located to the left of the tail of Phoenix Mountain. It is the highest of the three caves in Phoenix Mountain.

Zhao Changfeng followed Li Dayong to the No. 2 mine, only to see that there were many people outside using minecarts to transport stones outside. So he asked, "Who is in command at the scene, and what is the specific situation?" ”

A dusty middle-aged man wearing a red hard hat came over: "Report to the mayor." I'm in command. A collapse occurred at a depth of 50 meters in Mine No. 2, completely blocking the mine. A total of 12 miners were blocked inside, and because the miners inside could not be contacted, it was not known the casualties or the size of the landslide. "This person is Ba Tianming, the deputy director of production of the Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine, and he is in charge of the production and technology of the Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine, for Luo Daya. Ba Tianming's importance is far greater than that of mine manager Li Dayong. But each of them has its own use, and neither can replace the other.

Zhao Changfeng's face became grim and said, "How deep is the current excavation?" ”

"Report to the mayor, from the beginning of the rescue to now, more than six meters have been excavated, and nearly 50 cubic meters of stone have been transported."

Zhao Changfeng nodded and said, "Continue to hurry up and dig, and at the same time pay attention to safety!" After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What equipment is still missing?" How much manpower is missing? ”

Ba Tianming said: "The equipment is sufficient, because the area of the mine is small. The working surface is narrow, and no amount of equipment can be used. It's just that there aren't enough people. The intensity of the rescue operation is very high, there is not enough manpower to replace, and the rescue team is easy to get tired! ”

"How many people are you involved in the rescue now?" Zhao Changfeng asked.

Ba Tianming said: "More than sixty." ”

Zhao Changfeng nodded, and said to Ma Huilai and Huo Yilu behind him: "Immediately put the militia into the rescue." ”

Then he beckoned Li Dayong over: "How many people are there in the Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine?"

Li Dayong hesitated. Said: "More than three hundred." ”

"Why are only more than 60 people transferred for rescue?" Zhao Changfeng said coldly.

"Zhao. Mayor Zhao. As you can see, the work surface is limited. There are too many people to show it. Li Dayong hurriedly explained.

It is true that there are more than 300 people in the Phoenix Mountain Gold Mine, of which there are 200 workers in the three mines, with an average of more than 60 workers in each mine. The other more than 100 are members of the mine protection team, these people are actually thugs, one is to monitor the gold mining industry and mine, to prevent the miners from secretly hiding natural gold nuggets when mining ore underground; Another role is to protect the gold mines, and always be ready to fight with the nearby gold mines that cross the border; The third role is to deal with the nearby villagers, the gold mine and the nearby villagers have a big contradiction, if there is no mine protection team protection, then the villagers rush up, it will be terrible. Of course, it may be difficult for a team of more than 100 people to deal with thousands of villagers, but these teams are prepared with both hands, and the phenomenon of hiding guns is very common, and if you are at a disadvantage in the fight, you need to use guns. Therefore, whether it is the mine protection team of other gold mines or the nearby villagers, they must be measured when fighting, and dare not go too far, otherwise they will die.

"Immediately transfer me over, sixty people are in a shift, an hour is a shift, and the rest is in turn!" Zhao Changfeng roared!

"Yes!" Li Dayong said immediately, then glanced at Luo Daya in the crowd, and then shouted to the people around him: "Immediately call the miners of Mine No. 1 and Mine No. 3 over and prepare by the side!" ”

A small leader with a walkie-talkie quickly informs Mine 1 and Cave 3.

With the addition of new forces, the tunnelling speed has been significantly accelerated. An hour later, news suddenly came from inside, saying that a small hole had been opened and the miners trapped inside had been contacted.

Zhao Changfeng was overjoyed, immediately put on a hard hat, and entered the mine despite the obstruction of Liu Junkang and Ma Huilai. Liu Junkang immediately grabbed a helmet strap on. Although Ma Huilai had no bottom in his heart about entering the mine, he was afraid of encountering a landslide again, but when he saw that Zhao Changfeng had entered, he naturally couldn't stay outside anymore, so he hurriedly took a hard hat from the person next to him and put it on, he looked up and saw that Huo Yilu didn't know when he had put on the hard hat, followed behind Zhao Changfeng, and kept saying something to Zhao Changfeng.

"This prostitute raises her! Ma Huilai scolded in his heart, "***, if Lao Tzu doesn't drive you out of Houhe Township when he comes back, Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Ma!" Then he followed.

Zhao Changfeng and Huo Yilu walked side by side in the dim tunnel, while avoiding the minecart that was transporting stones out, the two kept talking, and Ma Huilai followed closely behind, but he couldn't interject. No matter how he wanted to grab the front, Huo Yilu would quietly take a small half step horizontally or diagonally, and the horse would come to plug in the route. Because the tunnel is very small, and it is necessary to avoid the rescue of the minecarts, there is no chance for the horse to come.

When I arrived at the rescue operation face, I saw that the rocks were blocking the front, and there was a dark hole in the winter melon field on the rocks, which stretched out into it in a zigzag way.

Ba Tianming shouted at the entrance of the cave: "Mayor Zhao of the municipal government is here, don't panic, Mayor Zhao wants to talk to you." ”

There was an empty cry from inside, with an echo.

Zhao Changfeng approached the entrance of the cave and shouted inside: "I am Zhao Changfeng of the Bibei City Government, can you hear me?" ”

An anxious voice came from inside: "I can hear it, I can hear it, Mayor Zhao, you must save us out!" There was also a cry in his voice.

Zhao Changfeng shouted: "Don't worry, don't worry, we are organizing a rescue, and we will definitely save you out." Now tell me what's going on inside you? ”

There was a jumbled sound inside, empty coming from the mouth of the cave, and it was not easy to hear.

Zhao Changfeng knew that his question was inappropriate, so he shouted again: "How many people are there among you?" What about the casualties? ”

There was silence inside, and a voice replied, "Of the twelve of us, only one of us broke his arm, and the others are fine." ”

When Zhao Changfeng heard this, he was relieved. Behind him, Liu Junkang also breathed a sigh of relief for Zhao Changfeng, Ma Huilai, Huo Yilu and other township leaders also put their hearts at ease, and Luo Daya also showed a smile on his face. Regardless, there are no dead people yet, which is definitely good news.

Zhao Changfeng shouted inside again: "How many meters are there in the collapse?" ”

The cave replied: "Collapse begins at eighty-seven meters!" ”

Zhao Changfeng turned his head and glanced at Ba Tianming, who hurriedly said: "We are eighty meters here, and we will dig to eighty-seven meters with seven meters!" ”

Zhao Changfeng said: "How long will it take?" ”

Ba Tianming said: "If there is no accident, it will be about an hour and a half!" ”

Zhao Changfeng nodded and said, "I'll give you an hour, you must open the tunnel!" Then he shouted inside: "Comrades miners, you stand back and hide in a safe place, and in about an hour we will be able to dig through the tunnel and get you out!" ”
