"This ......" Jiang Liansheng was unable to answer for a while.

"County Magistrate Su, the current situation in the underground is very complicated, according to the first time the workers who went down the well according to the drainage pipe, the water below rises very quickly, and it is not excluded that there are secondary disasters such as secondary permeability and roadway collapse. And the power distribution room below has been cut off by water, and it is still very dangerous in the absence of sufficient lighting, even the miners refused to go down, and it was after Secretary Li did the work that four miners went down to find out the situation. Ma Xuejun hurriedly replied.

Su Zhiqiang's heart chuckled, but he also heard that Li Rui took the initiative to go down, and he didn't want to say anything more. However, Yang Liqing said after listening to it: "At this time, our party members and cadres need to take the lead in standing up, Comrade Li Rui can ignore his own safety, risk his life to go down the mine to investigate the situation, and win the opportunity for the rescue work, this spirit is worth learning, so we must all take active action to save the lives of miners in the first place." ”

There was a round of applause at the scene, Du Jinsong was very apprehensive while clapping his palms, but he was helpless, he didn't expect Li Rui, this kid, to be stupid and bold.

"Secretary Ji is here." I don't know who shouted. The crowd that was originally surrounding Yang Liqing flashed open a passage, and Ji Faling walked over with a stern expression.

"Secretary Ji." Yang Liqing hurriedly greeted him.

"County Magistrate Yang, how's the situation?"

This time it is Yang Liqing's turn to report the situation, which is also a rule and characteristic of officialdom. Yang Liqing reported the known situation to Ji Faling, and emphasized the touching deeds of Li Rui, secretary of the party committee and deputy director of the Coal Management Bureau, who risked his life to personally lead people down to investigate the accident.

Hearing Li Rui's name, Ji Faling's expression also changed slightly, first, he was a young cadre sent by the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, as for the rumors outside, Ji Faling didn't believe it, at most, the young man thought that he had a little young and vigorous backstage. The second is that her baby daughter mentioned this name to him two days ago, it is said that when her daughter was talking to Gao Jie on the phone, Gao Jie once joked that a friend of hers worked in Nanqiao, and asked Uncle Ji to take care of her. Although his daughter mentioned it casually, Ji Faling took it to heart, he believed that Gao Jie would never casually propose a person's name, and this Li Rui must have an unusual relationship with her. And Gao Jie just divorced not long ago, which is easy to arouse Ji Faling's association. But at this time, he really wanted to get to know this young man, and it was quite rare to have such courage anyway.

"It's out, and the chief of the mine is out."

"Hey, he's alone, and what about the others?"

There was a stirring in front of the mine, and Ji Faling and Yang Liqing hurriedly walked over when they heard the sound. An Guangmin had just climbed up from below, panting like a cow, and his soaked clothes were shivering when the cold wind blew.

"Quick, put on an overcoat for him." Seeing this, Ji Faling hurriedly ordered.

The images of Ji Faling and Yang Liqing often appear on the news of the county TV station, and An Guangmin hurriedly said while trembling: "Secretary Ji, Yang ...... County Magistrate Yang, you ...... Hello! ”

"What's going on?" Yang Liqing hurriedly asked.

At this time, someone sent the coat over, and after putting on the coat, An Guangmin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly explained the following situation.

Hearing that no body was found below, and that the forty-six trapped miners might all be alive, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Ji Faling found that only An Guangmin came up alone, and there was no one behind, and asked: "What about Comrade Li Rui and how many other miners?" ”

"Secretary Li went to find the trapped miners." An Guangmin then recounted how Li Rui wanted to go to the permeable point to find the trapped miners before the roadway was completely flooded.

"Isn't this nonsense, what if there's a good one? Rescue also needs to be scientific, how can you rely on personal courage? Secretary Ji, I suggest that the rescue team go down immediately and pull the people back, don't be trapped and the miners haven't been rescued yet, we have to fold one into the rescue first. Yang Liqing said suddenly.

Ji Faling was obviously much calmer than Yang Liqing, and said: "Mine Chief An is an expert, and he has just investigated the situation on the spot below, so let's listen to his opinion first." ”

"Secretary Ji, County Magistrate Yang, the top priority now is to pump water! The power of our pumps here is too small, less than 50 cubic meters per hour, and according to the speed at which the water level rises, it must be at least 1,000 cubic meters per hour to make the water level drop. An Guangmin hurriedly said.

Ji Faling immediately decided: "Is the water pump of the rescue team ready?" Immediately organize the drainage, and the goal of pumping 1,000 cubic meters per hour must be achieved. In addition, the rescue team immediately sent people down to meet Comrade Li Rui. ”

"Secretary Ji, our rescue team has already started to install two pumping machines with a pumping volume of 50 cubic meters per hour, and it will take no more than two hours to start working. But to reach 1,000 cubic meters per hour, at least 20 of these pumps are needed! Du Jinsong wiped his cold sweat and reported.

"I don't care about this, if there is such a big accident, don't you Coal Authority have a little responsibility? You figure out the problem of the pumping machine yourself. Before dawn, the high-power pumping machine must be in place, and the displacement per hour must reach 1000 cubic meters, no, 1200 cubic meters. Ji Faling said in a fierce voice.

Du Jinsong was completely dumbfounded, to reach a displacement of 1,200 cubic meters per hour, even a giant pump with a pumping volume of more than 200 cubic meters needs as many as six, and the entire Pengcheng City is probably only available to the Mining Bureau, how can he do it with a small section-level director? He couldn't help but look at Yang Liqing for help.

After such a big accident, Yang Liqing was actually dissatisfied with Du Jinsong, and on the way here, he had already sprayed Du Jinsong's scolding with blood. But anyway, Du Jinsong is his person after all, and he nominated him to be the director of the coal management bureau, just now Ji Faling asked Du Jinsong to resign if he can't do it, maybe it's not just angry words, maybe he really wants to take this opportunity to take down Du Jinsong and replace him with his person, which can't help but make Yang Liqing vigilant.

"Lao Du, do you have any difficulties?" Yang Liqing deliberately asked in front of Ji Faling.

"Secretary Ji, County Magistrate Yang." In front of Ji Faling, even if Yang Liqing was asking, Du Jinsong didn't dare to omit Ji Faling, and the title had to be placed in front of Yang Liqing, "The two pumping machines of the rescue team with a pumping volume of 50 cubic meters are already considered big in our Nanqiao County. To reach 1,200 cubic meters per hour, you have to ask the Mining Bureau for help, and they are the only ones who have a huge pumping equipment, and I heard that the largest one can pump 400 cubic meters per hour. ”

Asking the Mining Bureau for help means that the news of a major water penetration accident at the Changshan Coal Mine has spread. After Yang Liqing arrived at the scene, he blocked the news as soon as possible, and he has not reported to the city for the time being, in this regard, Ji Faling and Yang Liqing's attitudes are surprisingly consistent, and Ji Faling has never mentioned whether he has reported to the above, but now it is obviously not okay not to report.

"Secretary Ji, ......what do you see," Yang Liqing looked at Ji Faling and asked.

Ji Faling frowned and groaned slightly, and said, "In this way, I will report to the city; County Magistrate Yang, you are responsible for contacting the pumping machine with Du Jinsong; The county magistrate of Zhiqiang is responsible for on-site command. Remember that saving lives comes first, and as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will give 100% of our efforts. ”

At this time, Li Ruikan had only swam more than 200 meters of the roadway, and he had already regretted it a little, he obviously underestimated the resistance caused by the turbulent water, and the short 200 meters was more tiring than the usual swimming of 1,000 meters. There is a black hole around, only the miner's lamp on the head emits a faint light, and the water level at this time has risen to a distance of only about 30 centimeters from the top of the roadway, and you can touch the top of the roadway if you don't pay attention to your head. Looking at the alley in front of him that was completely submerged in water, he was a little uncertain now, once he got through, I was afraid that there would be no time to come back, and he even had the idea of turning around and going back, and he could easily swim back with the speed of the water and turn the danger into safety.

But when he thought of the forty-six trapped miners who were trembling and huddled on the abandoned work surface more than 20 meters long and less than 50 or 60 square meters, dark, hungry and thirsty, they didn't know the situation outside, watching the water level rise little by little, fear and despair were intertwined, and what they needed most at that time was probably hope, the hope of being rescued.

At the same time, such a scene flashed in his mind, all 46 miners were killed, he was held accountable as the deputy director of the Coal Management Bureau in charge of safety, dismissed from his post, and dismissed from public office. His father was yelling at him, "Look at you, you can't do anything!" What use do you say? Rubbish! ”

On one side is the poor miner, and on the other side is Zhang Jianguo's angry face and the sneering gaze of the family around him. Li Rui suddenly realized that he was by no means a waste, and he had to save those miners. Li Rui grabbed a wire at the top of the alleyway and rested for a moment, took a few consecutive breaths with great force, and then took a deep breath and plunged into the water.

The reddish-brown small kiln old empty water was extremely turbid, because of the poison Li Rui didn't even dare to open his eyes, the water flow on the opposite side rushed towards him strongly, he just paddled desperately in the potential water, and if he slacked off, he would be washed back by the turbulent current. Gradually, he began to slowly spit out the carbon dioxide in his lungs to get more time, and the carbon dioxide was exhausted, but he had not yet swam out of the short alley of more than twenty meters, and the icy water kept hitting his ears and nostrils, and accidentally Li Rui was choked on a mouthful of water, which was an extremely bitter and sour taste, he could only endure it, and if he opened his mouth, he could only choke back more wastewater. He paddled desperately, every blood vessel in his body seemed to be expanding and beating violently, and his body felt like it was about to be torn, and he could only silently read in his heart: "Hold on!" Hang on! ”

Finally, the sound of rushing water came from my ears and swam out! Li Rui suddenly jumped out of the water, air! Although the air in the mine tunnel was foul, he was breathing like a bellows, and he could even hear the hissing of his lungs.
