Chapter Twenty-Six: The Bitter Coal Cave

"Captain Chen, please stay!" After Fang Dajun stopped Chen Zhongjun, he said bluntly: "The vermicelli farm needs a lot of clear and clean water, so it will be built upstream, and I think the location of the development village is very good." ”

"That's great, what kind of manpower does Team Leader Fang need, just tell me, our production team will definitely give full support!" Chen Zhongjun didn't dare to treat him as a half-grown baby now, and he was directly called the team leader.

Fang Dajun said with a smile: "That's the best, tomorrow the county will come to inspect the threshing machine, so that I will go to the development village the day after tomorrow to see the terrain, and it will not delay Captain Chen's work." ”

"What can I delay, Secretary Wang and President Zhu both said that the most important thing now is to make vermicelli." Chen Zhongjun is a straight-hearted surname, such a surname is actually not suitable for mixed officialdom, but being a small boss can be deeply supported by the people below.

"That's done, let's talk about it the day after tomorrow!" It was not early, and Fang Dajun didn't talk much, and after a few words of greeting, he went home.

At the dinner table, his parents had to ask him about it again, and he naturally picked it out and said that there was no bad news at present. I drank two large bowls of polenta, and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, he gave his two sisters another five cents, and the two sisters held hands and ran to school happily with their little baskets!

He cleaned up a bit, changed into a set of coal digging overalls that could not be washed clean, put on a hard hat woven of rattan, thought about it and put the black stone wrapped in red cloth into his trouser pocket, and got up from where he fell.

He planned to see the current coal cave with his own eyes, although there were too many scenes of coal digging in his memory, but it was still not as clear as what he saw with his own eyes.

In fact, the most important thing in coal mines is safety measures, and the most important thing is to prevent gas explosions, once a gas explosion occurs, the casualties will be extremely heavy.

After the actual inspection of the coal cavern, he will start to write work instructions, train the coal digging workers, write a safety knowledge test, and only after passing the test can he enter the coal cavern.

CH4+202-CO2+2H20, which is the equation for gas explosions. Underground smoking, electrical sparks, illegal fireworks, and open flame operations are all easy to cause gas explosions. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of thermal chain reaction between gas gas that reaches a certain concentration and encounters a high-temperature ignition source and oxygen in the air.

To prevent it is actually simple, test the concentration of gas in the mine, if it is too high, extract part of the gas, and the other is fire prevention, about 600 degrees of high temperature will make the gas erupt, so it is basically impossible to detonate the gas with a small flame like smoking, but it is not absolute, this person will be shot if he is unlucky.

Another important reason for the detonation is the friction between metal tools and coal, coal is originally combustible, if the friction is too large, it is equivalent to rubbing flint, and the temperature at that moment is likely to detonate the gas that reaches the concentration, as for oxygen, people are breathing in it, and oxygen is naturally sufficient.

However, gas explosions are generally only easy to get shot in large coal mines, such as Jiaoshan Commune, which is a pure manual work of the earth coal cave, it is almost impossible to have a gas explosion, he is taking precautions at this time, it is too difficult to become a billionaire with this kind of small coal mine, and a large coal mine must be built later.

After thinking about it, he walked to the coal cave of the production team, which was not far from the pig farm, and after more than 20 minutes, he came to the place, which was a cave dug directly into the hillside, two meters high and about three meters wide.

The coal cave is flowing out of the spring water, very small, but has been flowing slowly, the air is filled with a deep cold smell of coal, squatting down and touching the spring water, only feel cold and biting, but very clear, but unfortunately the water also has the smell of coal substance, people can not drink.

He didn't rush in, but waited at the entrance of the cave for a while, but saw Qin Er dragging a coal car out slowly, the structure of the coal car is very simple, two wheels plus two long handrails on the left and right, this handrail is Nanzhu sticks, the carriage is also made of Nanzhu, more than one meter wide, more than two meters long, can only pull half a ton at a time, if there is more coal, people will not be able to pull.

Even so, this half ton of coal is very difficult to pull, and non-strong people are not up to the task.

At this time, Qin Er posed a classic shape of MJ leaning forward thirty degrees, just like the world-famous painting "The Slender Man on the Volga", a thick hemp rope was obliquely attached to the coal car behind him, and his left and right hands grabbed the handrail of the coal car, just like he leaned forward with his head down, and pulled the coal car out step by step.

Fang Dajun was also repeating this action before, which seemed to be very miserable, but after getting used to it, he got used to it.

Because the road has been pressed out of the wheels, and there is no upward slope, there will be a habit of pulling up the coal, and as soon as you get out of the coal hole, it is a downhill road, and it is easy to pull to the coal site.

The difficult part is the distance in the coal cave, so this kind of soil coal hole generally does not take long to mine, because once the route is extended, the waste of physical strength to transport coal is too amazing.

In the future, the mines with abundant coal reserves will have to erect railroad tracks, and the tracks will be used to transport the coal out of the mines.

"Army, why are you here!" As soon as Qin Er raised his head, he saw the army that was distracted, and hurriedly shouted.

Fang Dajun smiled, "I'm not resting for a few days, I'm not feeling well, so I want to come to the coal cave to have a look." ”

"What's so nice about this, you wait a while, I'll pull this car out and call it a day." Qin Erle said hehehe, a full-time task is about half a ton of coal in a truckload. Of course, he couldn't dig out a car so quickly, but he was working with Qin Da, he pulled a car out first, and then went back to help Qin Da get another car, hurry up, the two brothers could call it a day by noon.

In the afternoon, I either went to play tricks or did some farm work in my own house, and because of this, even if digging coal was tiring, there were not many people who were willing to do it.

This coal cave belongs to the Xinqiao Brigade, and there are only seven people digging coal, and about four tons of coal are produced a day, because Uncle Li Jianjun digs one ton alone, which can be regarded as the head of the brigade!

"Hehe, I'll go with you to pour coal, and then you accompany me to the coal cave to have a look." Fang Dajun said loudly, although he didn't want to admit it, he was actually a little afraid of this dark coal hole, this was simply a cheat, and he was very speechless to himself. There is no way, although he assessed that this kind of earth coal cave is generally impossible to have a safety accident, but as a modern person's mind, there is an instinctive resistance to this dangerous work.

This is not a problem, he also hopes to become a billionaire by mining coal, if he does not dare to go into the coal hole, isn't it a joke.

"Cheng, when I help my brother dig the coal, let's go play in the afternoon!" Qin Er wiped the sweat from his forehead, but he wiped his face all at once, and it was as black as Bao Gong.

Ten minutes later, Qin Er's coal was handed over, and today's work was in hand, and then he traveled lightly and walked to the coal cave with Fang Dajun.

The pitch-black coal cave exudes coldness, like the fierce beast that devours flesh and blood opening its huge mouth, which makes people shudder!

And there is no lighting in the coal hole, only a few kerosene lamps are lit in the innermost part to facilitate everyone to dig coal, at present, there is not even a portable mining lamp, the conditions are so simple that it is a mess, and it is also because it has always been a kerosene lamp operation, and there is an open flame in the hole, so he determined that it is difficult for such a coal hole to have a gas explosion.

Because the commune has never had a gas explosion since the coal was excavated, like Qin Daqin Er, I am afraid that he doesn't even know what a gas explosion is.

"Hurry up, Dajun, what's wrong with you today? You're usually the fastest. The coal hole where he couldn't see his fingers echoed with Qin Er's urging voice.

Fang Dajun wanted to give himself a slap, the main road of the coal cave was straight into it, he just had to raise his steps and walk, even if he couldn't see it, he wouldn't get lost, and he could quickly reach the coal digging site after walking a few more times, not to mention that he had walked on this road for a year before.

"Alas, isn't my body all right, you should walk slowly!" Fang Dajun lied, in fact, he made a move of spreading his wings at this time, and was cautiously groping forward.

"Okay, let's talk while we walk, Dajun, what meeting did you go to yesterday!" Qin Er found the topic.

Qin Er is his own person, Fang Dajun did not shy away from it, and roughly said the content of yesterday's meeting, which made Qin Er exclaim again and again, and finally Fang Dajun suddenly found that the current person is too easy to fool, it should be said that it is too easy to deceive, if he changes careers now and goes out to be a liar, I am afraid that he can also make a fortune!

Maybe it's because the chat eases the fear, or maybe it's the habitual instinct that the original owner of the body has developed before, he gradually let go of his groping arms, and is already able to move freely, and every step he takes no longer worries about hitting the wall of the cave, and no longer thinks about the sudden explosion of the coal hole, the collapse and so on.

Until they heard the sound of digging coal, the two of them had walked more than a mile inside, this coal hole directly into the belly of the mountain, the road has been very flat, and almost straight, probably because there is no curve, so that the air in the coal hole can circulate with the outside, even if there is gas gas is diluted by the circulating air.

It is also because there are not many workers digging coal, and the destructive power is not so great, sometimes it is not a bad thing to do more with less.

As for him being buried that time, it was completely an eight-lifetime autumn mold, which is a very small probability event!

After walking for a while, I finally saw the light, and the sound of digging and beating became louder and louder, and there was also the sound of staccato talking.

Suddenly, he felt a little hot on his left thigh, and when he was startled, he reached out and touched it, and he was surprised because the little black stone in his trouser pocket was actually hot!
